Reusable software components from a library are individually indexed with a set of keywords. To retrieve components the user incrementally specifies a set of keywords that the searched components are required to have. After each step the selected components and the exact set of remaining significant keywords needed to refine the query further are presented to the user. The process ensures that ...

In this paper, the design and implementation of a real-time traffic light control system based on Fieldprogrammable Gate Array (FPGA) technology is reported. The traffic light control system is designed with VHDL language. Its function was verified with simulation. After that, the VHDL design was downloaded to FPGA board hardware to verify its function in experiment. The designed traffic light ...

Light-field imaging systems have received a lot of attention recently, especially with the release of Lytro cameras for consumer application. Extensive research has been conducted in optimizing and developing applications for light-field images [1,2]. To investigate the potential use of light-field imaging systems as an experimental analysis tool, an automated image processing algorithm was dev...

This paper proposes an emotion recognition system. Human emotion can be expressed through many kinds of medium such as speech, image, facial expression, and so forth. This paper focuses on the textual data of them. Proposed system is a hybrid system that uses alternatively two methods, keyword-based and machine learning method. Keyword-based methods are traditional approaches using emotional ke...

Infrared Functional Imaging was applied to the study of Raynaud’s Phenomenon obtaing a simultaneous assessment of the thermal properties of all five fingers of both hands of a group of patients with respect of a control group. The method is based on the use of high-resolution telethermography imaging and allows identification of objective parameters from the re-warming curves of finger immediat...

there is increasing demand for use of natural preservatives such as bacteriocins to control foodborne pathogens in seafoods. this study was performed to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of nisin on staphylococcus aureus in light and heavy salted silver carp fillets (4 and 8% nacl). effect of different concentrations of nisin (0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.75, 1.5 µg/ml) on behavior of s.aureus at unfavour...

In recent years, knowledge graphs such as Freebase that capture facts about entities and relationships between them have been used actively for answering factoid questions. In this paper, we explore the problem of automatically generating question answer pairs from a given knowledge graph. The generated question answer (QA) pairs can be used in several downstream applications. For example, they...

Natural food pigments are commonly utilized for the improvement of the qualitative properties of foods and/or inhibit the development of chronic and degenerative diseases. Several studies have documented the beneficial health effects of natural food pigments, such as anthocyanins, chlorophylls, and carotenoids. These effects mainly depend on the stability, bioactivity, and bioavailability of th...
