TL;DR: It is concluded that the APTEEN protocol is the most suitable routing strategy to precision farming and its network lifetime can reach 6.5 month which is a period more than the maximum value of the potato crop lifetime that estimated to be 120 day, but it is greater than the yearly cultivation period of potato in Egypt which reaches 6 month.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel in-network knowledge discovery approach that provides outlier detection and data clustering simultaneously and shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms other techniques in both effectiveness and efficiency.

TL;DR: This study addresses the limitations of the existing comparative tools and delivers a generalized criterion to determine beforehand the level of efficiency expected from a matching algorithm given the type of images evaluated.

TL;DR: This work builds on the results of earlier research, analyzing the factors behind the change in performance of the different sites of a specific project, reasons of their original success, and the relapse of one site, and clarifying the causality between different factors presumed to individually affect the e-government implementations.

TL;DR: The proposed hybrid recommender system for learning materials based on their attributes to improve the accuracy and quality of recommendation outperforms current algorithms on accuracy measures and can alleviate some problems such as cold-start and sparsity.

TL;DR: Experimental results prove that the proposed technique can provide patient authentication, image integrity service and information confidentiality service with excellent efficiency, and the embedded watermark does not affect the quality of the original image.

TL;DR: The comparison results between the EDE and several classical differential evolution methods and state-of-the-art parameter adaptive differential evolution variants indicate that the proposed EDE algorithm is competitive with, and in some cases superior to, other algorithms in terms of final solution quality, efficiency, convergence rate, and robustness.

TL;DR: A model to evaluate the performance of call centers based on the Delone and McLean Information Systems success model is introduced and a number of indicators are identified to track the call center’s performance.

TL;DR: LEACH-CS extends the lifetime of wireless sensor networks by proposing a mechanism that performs an intelligent choice of functioning nodes depending on the data sensed at the time being through network scaling and minimizing the end-to-end delay of data sending.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new extension to Fuzzy Decision Maps by allowing use of fuzzy linguistic values to represent relative importance among criteria in the preference matrix as well as representing relative influence among criteria for computing the steady-state matrix in the stage of FBuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM).

TL;DR: The design and evaluation of extractive summarization approach to assist the learners with reading difficulties and the results show significant improvement in readability for the target audience using assistive summary.

TL;DR: An event triggered multipath routing in WSNs by employing a set of static and mobile agents is proposed and the performance of the proposed scheme is tested in terms of performance parameters such as packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, latency, and overhead.

TL;DR: An efficient fuzzy ANP model is developed which helps decision makers to choose among the alternatives for the Egyptian scenarios of electrical power generation.

TL;DR: A new simple, low cost, and scalable security scheme relying on one-way hash functions and synchronized secret information to change the ID of a tag on every read attempt in a secure and synchronized manner.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cluster-based classification (CCM) technique was employed for email authorship identification, which achieved an accuracy of 94% for 10 authors, 89% for 25 authors, and 81% for 50 authors.

TL;DR: A mask that locates the core point simply from the ridge orientation map at the end of the discontinuous line appearing in the orientation map presented by a gray-scale, characterized by a simple design for easier and more feasible implementation on the embedded modules.

TL;DR: A document index based change detection technique and distributed indexing using mobile agents that can considerably reduce the network traffic and the computational load on the search engine side and keep its index up-to-date with significant changes.

TL;DR: Healthy environment is simulated using RFID and the data observed by RFID reader consist of anomalies false positive, false negative, and duplication and it is found that robust RFID system can be built by integrating the middleware and deferred approach.

TL;DR: The developed shape preserving schemes provide tangent continuity in quadratic form and does not restrict interval length, derivatives or data.

TL;DR: A routing scheme based on the fisheye state routing with a difference in route selection mechanism has been proposed to ensure the reduction in the overall energy consumption of the network.

TL;DR: This work adopts a MAP super-resolution method with modified regularization parameters for obtaining both a high-resolution and high-contrast 3D MRI image volume, desirable for image-guided minimally invasive brain surgery.

TL;DR: The ACL algorithm is more accurate and robust in both determining the number of clusters and allocating input feature vectors into these clusters than the other algorithm especially with data sets that are sparsely distributed.

TL;DR: Results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm to other algorithms compared, especially with small data sets that are sparsely distributed or generated from overlapping clusters.

TL;DR: A rational trigonometric cubic spline with four free parameters has been used to retain convexity of 2D data to help researchers in different fields of study conserve intrinsic trend of the data.
