Classifying the cancer based on the age and predicting the arrhythmia in cancer patient is necessary to determine the next steps in dealing with the patients. This prediction can be done by using multiple algorithms of machine learning such as SVM, Linear classifier, neural network. Machine learning, interpretability refers to understand the underlying behaviour of the prediction of a model in order to identify diagnosis criteria and/or new rules from its output. Interpretability contributes to increase the usability of the method. Also, it is relevant in decision support systems, such as in medical applications. Using multiple algorithm on big data set and predicting the arrhythmia cases from early age to old age.Apache (Acute Physiology, Age and Chronic Health Evaluation) and SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score are the important factor in critically ill patients. The number of ICU (intensive care unit) admission will be depending on these two scores. Analyzing Apache and SOFA scores will be helpful for intensivist.[4]

Authors: Nimmala Satyanarayana , Ramadevi Y , Ashwin Kumar B
Published: July 2018

Every tissue of human body needs energy and oxygen for its livelihood. In order to supply energy and oxygen, the heart pumps the blood around the body. When heart pushes the blood against the walls of arteries, it creates some pressure inside the arteries, called as blood pressure. If this pressure is more than the certain level we treat it as high blood pressure (HBP). Nowadays HBP is a silent killer of many across the globe. So here we proposed a new data-driven computational model to predict HBP. Blood Pressure (BP) may be elevated because of many changes such as physical and emotional. In the proposed model we have considered AAA++ (age, anger level, anxiety level, obesity (+), blood cholesterol (+)), for experimental analysis. Our model initially calculates the correlation coefficient (CC) between each risk factor and class label attribute. Then based on the impact of each risk factor value and CC, it assigns the corresponding weight to it. Then proposed model uses risk factor value and its weight to predict whether person becomes a victim of HBP or not. We have used real-time data set for experimental analysis. It consists of 1000 records, which are collected from Doctor C, a Medical Diagnostic center, Hyderabad, India.

Authors: Ulla Khan Roshan , A. PhD Vijayalakshmi
Published: July 2018

Background and Objective: Most of the research that are carried in ad hoc routing protocol is through simulation. While working with a simulator, the codes are enclosed in a component that is accessible to all the developers. The difficulty arises as there is no enough documentation and users find it difficult to modify different C++ and TCL files. Even if one component is modified then the entire Network Simulator-2 (NS-2) suite must be reconfigured. Cloning the protocol manually takes a lot of time and prone to error. Our objective is to ease the work of developers and researchers by showing the procedure to clone the AODV protocol automatically using a script. Methodology: In this study, a shell script is developed that will clone the AODV protocol by modifying 18 C++ and TCL files of the protocol and NS-2 suite by automatically inserting the code in exact files at exact position. It also configures the NS-2 and installs the entire NS-2 suite along with setting the path in .bash files. Results: In this research work, a comparison of cloned protocol with AODV protocol is done based on throughput time and packet loss metrics and the results generated are exactly same for both the protocols. The results of the study reveal that the proposed script clones the AODV protocol successfully. Conclusion: This work proves that the proposed script can clone the AODV protocol faster with just one execution of shell script. This methodology will save the time and help the developers or research to focus more on their study on the protocol.

Published: July 2018

The task of intellectual support of the process of composition formation for materials with a composite structure occurs when designing and operating automated control systems for multi-stage production processes. Such automated systems function in direct interaction with the external environment, and should promptly return the results of processing to the environment in the form of corrective actions or as messages to the user. The need for correct and complete mathematical models and fast, accurate algorithms that solve multistage problems often arises when structuring composite materials. In this case, mathematical models contain sets of numerical parameters and the search for exact values for them presents a complex optimization problem. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using stochastic optimization methods to determine the exact numerical values of the calculated parameters of mathematical models that mimic the behavior of a structured composite material with given physico-mechanical characteristics under operating conditions. To carry out the research, special software has been created that implements algorithms for searching for extreme values for functions of several variables. The functional purpose of the software is intellectual support for decision-making in the formation of chemical compositions of cast iron alloys. Another developed system is designed to make effective decisions when designing the composition and structure of composite materials containing discrete fibers. Optimization of the calculated parameters was performed on a definite and fixed search area, which is a hyperparallelepiped. The program implements ten modifications of the simulation algorithm for annealing, allowing for a finite number of steps to make an estimate of the optimal value of the input elements of the function under study on a multidimensional space. In particular, modification of A, B and B algorithm schemes using the Boltzmann and Cauchy distribution functions, as well as the superfast annealing algorithm and the Xin Yao algorithm are implemented. The obtained data allowed to draw conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of each modification of the stochastic search algorithm..

A Robust Digital Image Watermarking in Hybrid Frequency Domain
Authors: Sridhar P , . .
Published: July 2018

Image watermarking is a method to hide the secret information in a host image for copyright protection of watermark data during the transmission by means of insecure channel. The proposed scheme protects our data with adaptive level of visual quality and robustness against signal processing and geometric attacks. The proposed method divides the host image into four non-overlapping segments labelled as sub-images, DWT is applied on each sub images and then block based DCT is applied on mid frequency channels LH and HL of discrete wavelet transform. Embedded matrix is formed using hybrid transformed coefficients where matrix elements are chosen from the localized two mid frequency coefficients of each block in DCT. SV Decomposition is applied on embedded matrix to factorize it into singular values, left and right singular vectors and embed the scrambled watermark image along with scaling factor in singular value matrix. This repetition of watermark data in each sub-image reduces the PSNR values of the watermarked image. Despite this proposed scheme scales down PSNR value, changing the scaling factor favours to adjust the PSNR to the acceptable level and withstand the signal processing attacks such as JPEG compression and geometrical attack such as rotation, translation. Compared to the other method, the proposed scheme gives better correlation coefficient value for above mentioned kinds of attacks and also provide adaptive PSNR for imperceptibility on watermarked image.

As the amount of data is growing day by day, the sources for these data are also growing simultaneously and to search through this very data, we need the use of search engines. Since each search engine is limited to its confined set of data, it would be even better to make use of a Meta search engine which will give us more relevant results than the ones obtained from any single search engine. It acts as an interface that provides the user with a single view from the various underlying search engines. The data is collected from these underlying search engines after they are accessed with the processed query from the Meta search engine. The collected data is merged using an algorithm and the algorithm will be a major factor in giving the best possible results. In this paper, we are going to discuss about the various existing metasearch engines and the different merging techniques and their approaches.

A probe array fabricated from a beryllium-copper metal sheet was developed in order to produce cost-effective microelectromechanical system (MEMS) probe cards. The probe array is fabricated via a simple, inexpensive process in which a heat current is used for annealing and a fusing current from a DC power supply is used for cutting the metal sheet. The stress relaxation time was 7 min during the application of a 4 A heat current, and the fusing current was 20 A. The contact force was approximately 1 gram force at a deflection of 100 μm, and the contact resistance from the tip of the probe to the end of the probe beam was 1.9 Ω. The probe array is suitable for use in probe cards, test sockets, and various types of manufacturing equipment.

Some records will be kept for a year as it has enduring value that shows evidence from previous business transaction or evidence from the pass event. It will select for permanent preservation called archival collection. In order to preserve the archival collection for future use that might be precious to some organization, digitization is the best solution that can be taken. As to digitize archival collection for public access, some sort of criteria need to be considered. This article discussed on human factors that may affect the selection of archival collection for digitization project.

Protecting for sovereignty can be an effective tool in order to cope with relations between states, drawing boundaries of acceptable behavior. It’s also a way of judging the actions taken from a state, whose owns ultimate power that always make the principle of sovereignty expendable. Information professional today play critical roles to ensure that state sovereignty would be strengthening and protecting them from external pressure. This paper highlights the need to pay more attention to the aspects of sovereignty that related with information professional roles and issues of Malaysian’s neighboring country. Ignoring these aspects of sovereignty will lead to the issues that can threaten national sovereignty and peace.

Mobile work is not a new phenomenon, but it is a result of better record-keeping records management. Apart from the development of electronic records and record-keeping systems, the practice of these functions continues to be office and paper-based and has supposedly been digitized. Mobile devices and online connections have enabled record creation beyond the office context, on other premises. The several of format in information management created challenges for preservation, until the point when a few researchers called it 'digital archaeology'. Mobile workers did their task in changing and unpredictable areas. Handling of records and document management was either straightforwardly in work situation or as soon as possible after the working hours. It may have implied working while at the same time going, at home or in different places, for example, while going to meeting or courses and customers' premises. Record management was important because it is often necessary to measures the importance areas in the organization. It is also to guarantee their continuity even if individual or that individual might leave the organization. In this issues, when we work as a team example for same related project and all of our colleagues will need the up to date documentation and also records related to their task. They also will share all the information regularly.

The health industry is undergoing a fast transition from its conventional method of care-giving. E-health or Health Informatics is an ICT-integrated method adopted by the hospitals for providing healthcare services to the patients anytime, anywhere without any restriction of location or facility. Many countries now follow suit to improve efficiency and accuracy in their healthcare systems. Nowadays, many countries including Malaysia still face challenges in the implementation of the healthcare electronic system. Substantial evidence suggests that paper medical records do not provide reliable and updated information on patients. Health physicians provide medical services based on patient history. In cases where this information is inaccurate and/or inaccessible, chances of medical errors due to improper prescriptions remain high.
