This whitepaper offers a brief introduction to the BIN system of the Social, Political and Economic Event Database (SPEED) project. BIN provides automatic document categorization of highly nuanced topics across massive-scale document archives. The BIN system allows a group of trained human editors to present the computer with a relatively small collection of hand-categorized documents represent...

The notion of a fuzzy upper bound over a groupoid is introduced and some properties of it are investigated. We also define the notions of an either-or subset of a groupoid and a strong either-or subset of a groupoid and study some of their related properties. In particular, we consider fuzzy upper bounds in Bin(X), where Bin(X) is the collection of all groupoids. Finally, we define a fuzzy-d-su...

the treatise entitled “arithmetic in astronomy”, which is edited and commented upon in this paper, is part of an old manuscript collection preserved in the national library of bosnia and herzegovina. at the end of this treatise there are some phrases in arabic which show that the treatise was originally part of a persian book written by ʿalī al-qūshchī. this manuscript is, in fact, an abridged ...

Efficient and reliable content-based image retrieval and classification techniques are required for the large image databases. Humans perceive images by breaking the scenes into regions and objects. We, therefore, present a novel approach for extracting color and spatial relationships among image regions. For this, we propose a color spatio-histogram and a bin image which express not only the c...

We estimate the number of CdSe quantum dots QDs in a microenvironment by analyzing the intensity fluctuation of the fluorescence time trace from a collection of QDs in the fluorescence intensity steady-state regime. The steady state is chosen because the aged blinking dynamics of single QDs leads to a higher probability for observing large on and off waiting times relative to the typical time b...

Now a days, there are a number of techniques which are purposefully used and are being build up for well management of garbage or solid waste . Zigbee and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) are the latest trends and are one of the best combination to be used in the project. Hence,a combination of both of these technologies is used in the project . To give a brief description of the pr...

This article evaluates a web page-oriented representation model for document clustering, using self-organizing maps. The representation is based on heuristic combinations of criteria by means of a fuzzy rules system. The experiments show an improvement in the proposed model behaviour versus traditional representations as TF, Bin-IDF and TF-IDF, with different vector dimensions, and using a refe...

A fundamental everyday visual task is to detect target objects within a background scene. Using relatively simple stimuli, vision science has identified several major factors that affect detection thresholds, including the luminance of the background, the contrast of the background, the spatial similarity of the background to the target, and uncertainty due to random variations in the propertie...
