Performance Comparison of ACM and GRP Methods for Image Permutation

Permutation and substitution processes of an image are most widely used in image encryption algorithms as they are thought to increase system security in cryptography. Permutation is the first process that all pixel positions in an image are shuffled in specific order or randomly in order to break strong correlation between pixels. Secondly, substitution is used to change pixel values by mixing a secret key in the permutated image. In an ordinary image, adjacent pixels have close values so they have strong correlation and this correlation needs to be broken effectively before encryption. The degree to which this process is performed, directly affects the overall system security. In this paper, performance evaluations for Group (GRP) and Arnold’s Cat Map (ACM) method are analyzed through some numerical results and their performances are compared to figure out which one is better. Experimental results consist of numerical and visual results determined in Matlab R2015a.
Socially Optimal Correlated Equilibrium in Class-Anonymous Offloading Game with Computing Access Points

We consider a multi-user mobile offloading network with multiple computing access points (CAPs). Each user has one task to be processed, and may choose to reduce the cost of processing the task by offloading it to a CAP or to a remote cloud server. Each user belongs to one of a fixed number of classes, which determines the distribution of their task parameters. We aim to produce an offloading decision that minimizes the expected social cost of the system, while giving selfish users an incentive to follow that decision. Towards that goal, we show that our system can be formulated as a class-anonymous game, and we derive the reduced form of this game to prove that a socially optimal correlated equilibrium (CE) can be computed in polynomial time and space with respect to the number of users. Like the Nash Equilibrium, the CE maintains the necessary conditions for stability in a system with rational and selfish users, while being much easier to compute for non-potential finite games. Simulation results demonstrate the superior results of our solution when compared with random mapping and an alternate means of computing a CE.

Constructing Search Generators for Population-Based Optimizers

The previous chapter introduced a variety of formal tools for describing spaces of search generators, including the deterministic generators, the black-box property, the Markov property, and the convolution operator. In the next few chapters, the pursuit of a formal theory of these objects is paused in order to demonstrate the applicability of these objects and properties to common search methods, from simulated annealing to differential evolution and more. This chapter focuses on applying convolution and other operators in a constructive way to build successful search methods from simple, elemental generators.

Speed reading using Spritz has a cost: Limits when reading a short text

Rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) can be used to present text one or a few words at a time to a central position on a display. Recent studies using Spritz, a recent application of RSVP, seem to indicate a speed-comprehension trade-off beginning at about a 250 word per minute (wpm) rate when reading a text for more than five minutes. The objective of the present experimental study is to compare inferential comprehension when subjects read in a traditional way or using Spritz at different nominal frequency rates (250, 350, and 450 wpm). Results confirm a comprehension difficulty even in a very short text when the presentation rate exceeds 250 wpm. This result should be considered as a guideline to set the optimal presentation rate when reading a short text on a personal device (such as a smartphone or smartwatch) using Spritz.
Repurposing an Acousmatic Skill Set for the Composition of Popular Electronic Music

This paper compares acousmatic music and certain popular genres of electronic music such as electronic dance music (EDM) and the less dance floor-oriented styles of electronica. Specifically, this research explores how certain methods of structuring a composition in acousmatic composition can be adapted for the creative process of these popular electronic music genres. It is less the artistic goal, and more the technical and theoretical skillsets of acousmatic composition that are being examined as valuable assets in the composition of popular styles of electronic music, namely the methods of accumulating and processing sonic material, planning and organising these temporally and creating a sense of compositional narrative. It explores this through a method of combining the top-down compositional strategy of more popular electronic music genres with the bottom-up strategy of acousmatic music work.The techniques of organising a work through grouping sounds of similar timbral and/or morphological characteristics are also explored beyond the context of acousmatic composition, in my own work Dashboard Exam. Here, the macrostructure is derived from a popular music framework, yet the musical materials are treated in an acousmatic music convention, with all sounds (save for a short synthesizer chord sequence) created from a recording of buttons and switches on the inside of a car being manipulated. During the compositional process, the sounds in the recording were processed extensively before they were installed into the already-established popular music framework, resembling Curtis Roads’ multiscale composition.Denis Smalley’s analytical concept of Spectromorphology, provides an intuitive resource for articulating certain sonic processes in time, specifically those which occur in relation to a sound’s frequency spectrum. This concept is used to analyse the sound materials, searching for relationships among the sounds and certain behaviours over time which can suggest their possible functions within a composition.While these concepts may be considered somewhat esoteric, the value in their ability to create new musical thought and compositions themselves, in all areas of electronic music, is too substantial to be restricted to academic zones of composition. This research invites a new group of composers (often existing outside of the field of academia) to explore elements of acousmatic music theory, within the more accessible context of EDM and electronica.

Background Removal of French University Diplomas

Separation of foreground text from noisy or textured background is an important preprocessing step for many document image processing problems. In this work we focus on decorated background removal and the extraction of textual components from French university diploma. As far as we know, this is the very first attempt to resolve this kind of problem on French university diploma images. Hence, we make our dataset public for further research, related to French university diplomas. Although, this problem is similar to a classical document binarization problem, but we have experimentally observed that classical and recent state of the art binarization techniques fail due to the different complexity of our dataset. In French diplomas, the text is superimposed on decorated background and there is only a small difference of intensities between the character borders and the overlapped background. So, we propose an approach for the separation of textual and non-textual components, based on Fuzzy C-Means clustering. After obtaining clustered pixels, a local window based thresholding approach and the Savoula binarization technique is used to correctly classify pixels, into the category of text pixels. Experimental results show convincing accuracy and robustness of our method.
The Guideline for the User Interface Design of a Mobile Augmented Reality Learning Application for Children with Learning Difficulties

This study describes the guideline to build a user interface of a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) learning application, called BADANKU, for children with learning disabilities.Premised in this context, the researchers examined several guidelines for the design of user interfaces for users with disabilities, which have been reported in the current literature.Virtually, all guidelines reviewed have the same emphasis on the proper use of multimedia elements (notably texts, graphics, audios, and videos), fonts, icons, and their combinations that will have a profound impact on student learning.As such, the findings of this research will be used as the guideline for the researchers to develop the proposed user interface of a mobile AR learning application by focusing on relevant multimedia elements in a proper combination that can facilitate the learning process (which is dictated by the learning context) to ensure such children can read and understand information more efficaciously.

Variation on Atmospheric Transmittance Solar Radiation at Kathmandu Valley

The daily solar irradiance was measured using CMP6 first class pyranometer at the horizontal surface of Kathmandu Valley (Lat.:-27.7° N, Long.:-85.5° E, Alt. 1350 m above sea level.) from January to December, 2012 (one year). Monthly mean of atmospheric transmittance is calculated based on different meteorological parameters. The effect of different meteorological parameters as well as physical parameters on the atmospheric transmittance of solar radiation was analyzed. The maximum and the minimum monthly mean solar radiation are found to be 21.32 ± 4.14 MJ/m2/day and 10.93 ± 2.03 MJ/m2/day in May and January, respectively. The value of yearly mean solar radiation measures is 16.68 ± 4.60 MJ/m2/day. Similarly, the annual average of atmospheric transmittance value of 0.51 ± 0.12 was obtained that was due to cloudy and more precipitation day during the months of measurements taken. The yearly mean of atmospheric transmittance 0.983, 0.987, 0.698 and 0.889 are found due to Rayleigh scattering followed by ozone, water vapor, gas mixture and aerosols respectively, the maximum atmospheric transmittance due to water vapor and while minimum due to gas mixture. This research work will be beneficial for the further identification of other affecting factors of different parameters for the interaction with radiation at different places of the country.
The potential of skills development and recognition for regulated labour mobility in the IGAD Region: a scoping study covering Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda

Qualifications operate as a form of currency and facilitate trade in skills in the labour markets. Lack of trusted third-party information about their skills often forces jobseekers to engage in the labour market at a huge disadvantage. This is particularly true for migrants - and even more so for refugees - who are often at a severe disadvantage when it comes to their ability to provide evidence of their qualification. In this context, recognition systems play an important part in generating information about people's skills that enables them to participate in the labour market in ways that allow them to be equitably rewarded for the skills they possess and contribute to the development of the country.
COMIC AS LINGUISTIC CATEGORY: CLASSIFICATION, PARAMETRES AND TRANSLATION

The article analyzes the concept of comic as linguistic category.The article focuses attention on such aspects of the category of comic as classification, parameters of comic and the difficulties of translation of comic.It is singled out that the notion of concept comic goes beyond the linguistic aspect.That is why this language phenomenon is also studied from the point of view of socio-cultural aspect and the norms of human behavior in society.The category of comic is complex and ambiguous.In general, within this notion we understand the influence of jokes, for example, causing laughter.There are several methods that help to achieve laughter.Among them we distinguish irony, sarcasm, pun, allusion, periphrases, oxymoron, metaphor etc.Because of the multiaspect character of comic, this term is often used simultaneously with its similar synonymous humor, laughter, comic, funny, meaningless, cute, witty, joke, absurdity, irony, sarcasm, satire, etc.As for the categories of comic, scholars single out: analysis of style of a certain comic text, allocation and description of special features of comic text style of the specific authors; defining and studying the language and methods of realization of the category of comic on the example of a particular language; characteristics of the language parameters of specific subspecies of the category of comic.The category of comic is also subdivided into three groups.The first group is represented by understandable and easily recognizable humor based on the comic situation.The second type is presented by jokes based on the cultural base of the source language.And to the third type we refer linguistic humor.This type of humor in its structure is the most difficult to decode into a different language, because it is based on a game of words (pun), which, unfortunately, is usually considered to be not subject to translation.And, as for the translation aspect, it is necessary for translators to find a situational equivalent, an equivalent with an increased level of emotionality; to use transcoding or the combination of transcription and transliteration with the addition of word-forming morpheme; and to apply lexical and semantic and phonetically-imitating transformations.

Social Media’s Influence on Language Use: A Sociological Perspective on "Social Media Language" as a Communication Phenomenon among College Students in Ruteng, Flores

Social media has made certain impacts on written communication among college students. It is interesting that there seems to be a sense of freedom of self-expression in their use of “social media language.” The purpose of this study is to look at some phenomena indicating the occurrence of newly created words and expressions in the way college students in Ruteng, East Nusa Tenggara, use “social media language” in their online communication. Based on those phenomenon, the research questions that the present study intend to address are: Firstly, what words and expressions have college students in Ruteng recently invented? Secondly, why did they create new words and expressions to communicate in social media? A sociological approach is used in the analysis the aforesaid occurrences among the student subjects of this study. The results of the study indicate that the creation of new words and expressions in the students’ use of social media language is largely motivated by the need to express their feelings more freely, and their use of new words and expressions they have created themselves is an act of self-defining their identity as an attempt to set themselves apart from other social groups. Based on the previously mentioned findings, it can be inferred that the use of certain “social media language” among the college students in Ruteng is the implication of the easy access to the Internet in Ruteng. More than that, the need of belonging to a particular group of young people with distinctive identity that is recognizable by their use of specific invented words and expressions.
