the problem of automatic signature recognition has received little attention incomparison with the problem of signature verification, despite its potentialapplications for many business processes and can be used effectively in paperlessoffice projects. this paper presents model-based off-line signature recognition withrotation invariant features. non-linear rotation of signature patterns is one...

Comparing violins requires competence and involves both subjective objective evaluations. In this manuscript, vibration tests were performed on a set of 25 violins, historical new. The resulting bridge admittances modeled in the low mid-frequency ranges through features. Once projected into new representation, three made by Stradivari famous reproduction revealed high similarity. PCA highlighte...

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication.  This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common types of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality. Identification of novel biomarkers is critical to prolonging patient survival. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) proved to play diverse roles in the physiological and pathological state in cancers including GC. Herein we were aimed at performing a meta-analysis on miRNA profiling studies ...

Surface finish quality is becoming even more critical in modern manufacturing industry. In machining processes, surface roughness directly linked to the cutting tool condition; a worn generally produces low-quality surfaces, incurring additional costs material and time. Therefore, wear monitoring for cost-effective production line. this paper, feasibility of vibration-based approach has been ch...

In this paper, we propose an approach for automatic generation of novel intrusion signatures. This approach can be used in the signature-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) and for the automation of the process of intrusion detection in these systems. In the proposed approach, first, by using several one-class classifiers, the profile of the normal network traffic is established. ...

BACKGROUND Cold sensitivity is a common complaint following hand injuries. Our aim was to investigate long-term self-reported cold sensitivity, and its predictors and the importance of sense of coherence (SOC), 8 years after a hand injury as well as in patients treated for Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) during the same time period. METHODS Responses to the Cold Intolerance Symptom Severit...

ABSTRACT Epicyclic gear trains are widely used in various industrial sectors due to their advantages over fixed-axis gears, such as high torque capability, compact size, differential and planetary designs, ease of adjusting gear ratios and even directions of rotation. This research focuses on planetary gearbox whose degree of freedom is one. The geometry and dynamics of the planetary gear train...

A non-invasive technique for condition monitoring of brushless DC motor drives is proposed in this study Hall-effect position sensor fault diagnosis. Position faults affect rotor feedback, resulting faulty transitions, which turn cause current fluctuations and mechanical oscillations, derating system performance threatening life expectancy. The main concept the to detect using vibration signals...
