due to the explosive growth of the world-wide web, automatictext summarization has become an essential tool for web users. in this paperwe present a novel approach for creating text summaries. using fuzzy logicand word-net, our model extracts the most relevant sentences from an originaldocument. the approach utilizes fuzzy measures and inference on theextracted textual information from the docu...

Techniques were developed for automated detection and characterization of dermatoscopic structures, including the pigment network and brown globules. These techniques incorporate algorithms for grayscale shape extraction based on differential geometry developed by Steger, a snake algorithm, and a modification of the region competition strategy of Zhu and Yuille. A novel approach was developed f...

This work addresses the leakage information problem concerning cryptographic circuits. Physical implementations of cryptographic algorithms may let escape some side channel information, like electromagnetic emanations, temperature, computing time, and power consumption. With this information, an attacker can retrieve the data that is being computed, like cryptographic keys. This paper proposes ...

DOI: 10.2174/1573394713666170907160734 Abstract: Background: Malignant mesothelioma is a largely incurable disease that is refractory to current therapies. CD26 is a multifunctional cell surface protein involved in autoimmune disease, diabetes, and cancer. It has a role in T cell function, extracellular protein modification, as a prognostic factor for cancer, and as a therapeutic target for mal...
