Antecedents and Academic Performance Outcome of Blackboard Usage: Student Insight
(
iated Digital Library
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Information systems have been widely adopted, used and increasingly used in educational institutions during the last two decades. However, learning management system (LMS) has emerged and become an important education tool ...
Gravitational weighted fuzzy c-means with application on multispectral image segmentation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel clustering approach based on the classic Fuzzy c-means algorithm. The approach is inspired from the concept of interaction between objects in physics. Each data point is regarded as a particle. ...
A FCM and SURF based algorithm for segmentation of multispectral face images
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) for multispectral image segmentation. In the experiments, color images and multispectral images from ...
Taxonomy of communications in the operating room
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
US hospitals are facing critical problems of nurse shortage. One report predicts that there will be a shortage of 260,000 registered nurses by 2025 in the USA, and it was found out that patient mortality risk is 6% higher ...
Cluster validity index based on n-sphere
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a new cluster validity index (CVI) based on geometrical shape. Classic CVIs are based on a combination of separation and compactness measures and may include a measure of overlap between clusters. ...
Vector anisotropic filter for multispectral image denoising
(
SPIE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose an approach to extend the application of anisotropic Gaussian filtering for multi- spectral image denoising. We study the case of images corrupted with additive Gaussian noise and use sparse matrix ...
A Hardware Based Ricean Fading Radio Channel Simulator
(
IEEE Xplore
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The rise of the need of fading radio channel simulators is due to time and cost of field tests of wireless communications systems. Growth in the demand for fixed wireless access increases the need for wide area system ...
Aqueous electrolyte system for porous silicon using electrochemical anodization
(
IEEE Xplore
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Electrochemical anodization on n-type silicon was performed with silicon as anode and platinum as cathode in a weak-acid aqueous electrolyte containing orthophosphoric acid and ammonium fluoride. Anodization was carried ...
Social robots and wearable sensors for mitigating meltdowns in autism - A pilot test
(
springer link
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Young individuals with ASD may exhibit challenging behaviors. Among these, self-injurious behavior (SIB) is the most devastating for a person’s physical health and inclusion within the community. SIB refers to a class of ...
Toward 3D Printed Prosthetic Hands that Can Satisfy Psychosocial Needs: Grasping Force Comparisons Between a Prosthetic Hand and Human Hands
(
springer link
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The advancement in 3D printing technologies appears to be the key toward affordable and functional artificial limbs. The loss of an amputee’s capability to do functional tasks like grasping objects has an obvious effect ...
