Multicast device-to-device (D2D) communication technology is considered as one of the new technologies in fifth generation (5G) networks that directly addresses need for content sharing among internet users. In fact, when direct available between devices, spectral efficiency improved by reusing licensed cellular spectrum. The current studies show D2D increases network capacity and reduces laten...

Likelihood ratios (LRs) were calculated for a cohort of 60 pairs of true half-sibs and compared with LR values calculated for unrelated, paired children. STR results for the half-sib group were obtained from 60 archived cases involving a true mother, two children, and an alleged father subjected to typing with a multiplex STR kit (Identifiler multiplex, Applied Biosystems) and in which the alle...

The paper proposes shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) based on enhanced learning, which generates a virtual general centre frog that is related to the optimal frog of each memeplex. The algorithm can utilise the superior information of each memeplex, enhance the mutual learning and use the average centre of optimal frog. In the processing of evolution, the optimal frog of sub-memeplex learn...

In the above paper [1], the second paragraph of the introduction was accidentally omitted. This paragraph and corresponding citations should appear as follows. As for iterative decoding of LDPC codes, there are two main scheduling approaches, probabilistic approaches and deterministic approaches. Although both scheduling approaches provide better complexity/performance tradeoff than their stand...

In vitro recombination of homologous genes (family shuffling) has been proposed as an effective search strategy for laboratory evolution of genes and proteins. Few data are available, however, on the composition of shuffled gene libraries, from which one could assess the efficiency of recombination and optimize protocols. Here, probe hybridization is used in a macroarray format to analyze chime...

In this paper a novel invisible robust watermarking scheme for embedding and extracting a digital watermark in an image is presented. The novelty lies in determining perceptually important coefficients of transform in the host image using simple Haar Wavelet Transform (HWT) and Genetic Algorithm(GA)-Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) based hybrid optimization. Invisible watermark is embedded such...

A new method for color image segmentation using fuzzy logic is proposed in this paper. Our aim here is to automatically produce a fuzzy system for color classification and image segmentation with least number of rules and minimum error rate. Particle swarm optimization is a sub class of evolutionary algorithms that has been inspired from social behavior of fishes, bees, birds, etc, that live to...
