Stability Analysis of Type-2 Fuzzy Process Control Using LMI

This paper exhibits a type of fuzzy robust plan designed for nonlinear time-delay system based on the fuzzy Lyapunov method. In addition, the obtainable delay-self-governing state is changed into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) consequently the fuzzy state response gain and regular solutions are numerically possible by nature inspired optimization algorithm. LMI approach for determining robust stability of non-linear system such as to an exothermic continuous-time stirred tank reactor (CSTR) by parametric uncertainties. Essential and satisfactory circumstances intended for stabilization of a linear continuous-time uncertain system through static output feedback are specified at earliest. After that the difficulty of robust static output feedback control plan is transformed to resolution of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and two LMI based algorithms, iterative and non-iterative ones are used. The design process guarantee by satisfactory circumstances the healthy quadratic stability and assured price. The opportunity to utilize a healthy static output response for control of CSTRs with suspicions is verified via simulation results.

Flood disaster mitigation concept of settlements in Sario watershed area

There are five large rivers which pass through and empties into Manado City, one of them is the Sario River. In 2014, the settlements around the Sario watershed area was severely damaged due to flash floods, in fact, there was one neighborhood in Kelurahan Ranotana Weru where almost all houses were washed away and were lost due to the flood. In addition, there are also fatalities and other material losses. Flood disasters in the Sario watershed area occur periodically every year, but the most severe damage was in 2014, it was even designated as a national disaster because it struck almost the entire city of Manado. Therefore, a study was conducted to obtain the concept of flood disaster mitigation at this location which is expected to prevent disaster, reduce risk and minimize the impact that will occur. This concept is divided into structural and non-structural mitigation. Structural mitigation includes efforts to minimize disasters through the construction of various physical infrastructure and technological approaches, such as the construction of disasters-resistant buildings, the construction of canals for flood prevention, evacuation routes, green open spaces, etc. Non-structural mitigation includes making policies or rules such as spatial planning or community capacity building. This research found that the boundary area of ​​the river needs to be rearranged, the river embankment and drainage channel are repaired, the high density of the building needs to be reduced to provide sufficient open spaces, the need to build disaster evacuation routes and improved building conditions.
EFFECTIVE DETECTION METHOD OF BOTH COPY-MOVE AND SPLICED OF TEMPERED IMAGES

In present digital world, due to increasing image processing tools, authenticity and integrity of digital images are being hampered.There are numerous detection techniques of tempered images.But most of them detect copy-move and spliced forgery images separately.These techniques are complex and less efficient.In this paper, I proposed an algorithm to detect copy-move and spliced in a forgery images.At first, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used to transform image to detect the image edges and then reconstruct the edges of the forged regions by applying morphological operator.Secondly, the image is split into overlapping blocks to extract functionality using Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Euclidean distance.Based on these features both copy-move and spliced forgery is detected.The proposed algorithm is comparable to the existing Speed up Robust Features (SURF) and Weber Local Descriptor (WLD).The proposed method work effectively not only for noise contamination and blurring image, but also, it is robust enough for rotation and flipping.
Assessment of Cloud Computing Awareness in Kano Municipal Local Government Area of Kano State of Nigeria

The term 'cloud' originates from the world of telecommunications when providers began using virtual private networks (VPN) services for data communication. Cloud computing deals with computation, software, data access and storage services that may not require the end user's knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that is proving the services. This study aims at assessing the level of cloud computing awareness and adoption in Kano Municipal Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State in Nigeria. For these objectives to be accomplished the study uses a survey data by randomly administering questionnaires to 390 respondents from Kano Municipal Local Government. The research employs Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) tool as a method of data analysis in order to answer the formulated research questions. From the research findings, although there are factors hindering the use of cloud computing services in Kano municipal LGA, the level of awareness and adoption is encouraging. However, it is recommended that more awareness campaign and proper education should be giving to the populace in Kano municipalLGA so as to enjoy the enormous benefits of cloud computing.
Oaktsam våldtäkt - en oaktsam reglering? - En kritisk analys av den nya våldtäktslagstiftningen utifrån ett brottsofferperspektiv

On July 1, 2018, a new legislation regarding rape took effect, which is based on the lack of voluntary participation, unlike the previous regulations which required violence, threats or undue exploitation. Furthermore, a new offence was passed with the classification negligent rape, prescribed in Chapter 6, 1 a § of the Penal Code. The crime of negligent rape includes the same criminal act – sexual violation – as the provision of rape in Chapter 6, 1 § of the Penal Code. The difference between the crimes is merely the requirement of culpability, that is, concerning negligent rape, that criminal liability only requires that the perpetrator has been grossly negligent regarding the fact that the other person did not voluntarily participate in the sexual act. Furthermore, negligent rape is punished more leniently than rape.The main purpose of the essay has been to investigate whether the provision of negligent rape adequately satisfies the victims' interests. The examination thus proceeds from a victim’s perspective where the provision is studied, using an over-all argumentation of justice policy, in order to analyse whether the legislation is appropriate with regard to its main purpose, namely to create an effective and blanket protection against violations of the right to sexual and personal integrity and sexual self-determination. In this context, the victims' experiences of rape have been examined, as well as general teachings on blame and guilt.The examination shows that rape is perceived as very traumatic and that it often leads to severe depression and anxiety for the victims. Furthermore, the damage suffered by the victims appears to be rooted in the objectification of the victim by denying the values ​​and interests that are essential to the person, resulting in an insult of human dignity and moral status. Based on the meaning of sexual violations, notions of blameworthiness and guilt have been examined, exposing that the perception of rape as more blameworthy than negligent rape has a traditional foundation. At the same time, the perception of blameworthiness is unspecified and largely subjective.The thesis shows that situations which, in the light of the provision of negligent rape and the general difficulty to prove culpability in cases of rape, most probably will lead to criminal liability may, in fact, result in an equally severe, or if not more severe, infringement than rape. From a victim’s perspective, my viewpoint is that the current legislation can be questioned, firstly due to the fact that the real meaning of violations of sexual integrity is not taken into account to an appropriate extent, and secondly due to the fact that the perpetrator, in the case of negligent rape, may disclose an equally blameworthy lack of respect for the victims' interests than to rape.

A Strategy to Witness to the Indian Community in Tanzania

The Indian community in Dar es Salaam has hardly been witnessed to by the Seventh-day Adventist church. However, some Christian denominations have attempted reaching them. Hinduism is the main religion of the Indian community in Dar es Salaam, with a few belonging to Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. The purpose of the study was to develop a strategy to witness to the Indian community in Dar es Salaam, with a pilot implementation by a sample group of three Adventist church members. A pilot implementation of the intervention program followed with an evaluation. Two Indians were selected into a focus group because they were the only ones in the church and were the source of primary data of the Indian community. The selection of an African was purposeful. Methodology of research was qualitative because the researcher dealt with behaviors of the people. A summary of the information gathered from the focus group discussions was compiled and applied. As a result of the pilot implementation of the project, one young man was baptized from the Indian community. One India former member was reclaimed to Sabbath school at Magomeni SDA church. The study drew the following conclusions: First, the strategy, proposed by this study and tested by a pilot group, is an effective way of witnessing to the Indian community because of its positive results.
Face Alignment via 3D-Assisted Features

We present a practical 3D-assited face alignment framework based on cascaded regression in this paper. The 3D information embedded in 2D face image is utilized to calculate two novel components to improve the performance of 2D methods in unconstrained face alignment. The two novel components for 2D image features are the projected local patch and the visibility of each landmark. First, we propose to extract the landmark related features in the projected local patches on 2D image from the corresponding 3D face model. Local patches of a fixed landmark in 3D face models for different 2D images cover the same region of face anatomically. The extracted features are more accurate for further locations regression of landmarks. Second, we propose to estimate the visibilities of 2D landmarks based on 3D face model, which are proven to be vital to address large pose face alignment problem. In this paper, we adopt Local Binary Features (LBF) to extract landmark related features in the proposed framework, and name the new method as 3D-Assisted LBF (3DALBF). An extensive evaluation on two face databases shows that 3DALBF can achieve better alignment results than the original 2D method and maintain the speed advantage of 2D method over 3D method.
Nondestructive ciphertext injection in document files

We describe how container files in Portable Document Format (PDF) can be modified to inject modifiable pads for use in a steganographic file system. This produces a footprint that is less conspicuous than a randomized disk volume or disk image file. The PDF standard can be exploited to inject a modifiable segment into a file, without affecting the file&#x2019;s interpretation or validity; these can be disguised as high-entropy segments that commonly occur in PDF files. We show two methods of achieving this embedding.

Authorizing based on Identity-based cloud storage auditing schemes can check the security of cloud data. It contains the confidential information that must be protected from unauthorized access. To provide the privacy for an individual or organization, the sensitive information's are need to be hided. Hiding the sensitive information in the cloud makes the data in the cloud more secure. In the proposed system the Private Key Generator (PKG) generate the authentication key to the data owner and the data user. By using the authentication key, the data owner and the data user enter into the cloud to upload and todownload the data from the cloud.The data are encrypted and the sensitive information's are hided before uploading in the cloud.Third Party Auditor (TPA) performs the auditing process in the cloud.This scheme makes the file stored in the cloud able to be shared and used by others on the condition that the sensitive information is hidden, which makes the auditing system to work in efficient manner.
Retrospective Conversion of Bibliographic Records in Nigerian Academic Libraries: An Empirical Study of Libraries using KOHA ILS

Retrospective conversion of bibliographic records is not a recent practice among Nigerian academic libraries. However, the end product of this process, which is a functional Online Pubic Access Catalog (OPAC) has been underwhelming. This is due to various challenges that have hindered the libraries from achieving a successful retrospective conversion. Some of these challenges include unreliable software, lack of a union catalog, and sheer absence of exchange of information among the libraries. This study therefore measures the practices and experiences of twenty Nigerian University Libraries in the course of carrying out retrospective conversion of their resources using the KOHA library software. The study adopted a survey method of research with a self-developed questionnaire as the instrument of data collection. Data analysis was with the aid of the SPSS software and the presentation was done using simple frequency and percentage. Findings show that erratic power supply and low Internet bandwidth are the major challenges facing Nigerian libraries in the course of retrospective conversion.
An Approach to Game Prototyping with a Tangible Interface

In this paper, we explore the use of tangible user interfaces in the context of prototyping digital game design. Traditional approaches to game design use a combination of digital and non-digital prototyping techniques to identify core game mechanics and object placements when designing levels followed by a labourious process where the non-digital prototypes are translated into digital counterparts in a game engine. The presented system aims at reducing the need for non-digital prototypes by providing an easy to use interface that doesn&#x2019;t require technical expertise and results in a playable digital prototype in a modern game engine. The presented system uses Augmented Reality markers as the tangible interface to facilitate specific functionality in a modern game engine. A preliminary user study is presented to understand the current strengths/weaknesses of this approach. Our hypothesis is that our system would improve the game design experience for users with respect to usability, performance, creativity support and enjoyment as we firmly believe that the process of designing games should also be an enjoyable process.
