ABSTRACT: The need for pattern recognition system cannot be over emphasized as it cuts across many fields. Majority of the work on fabric pattern recognition focuses on determining the nature of the wefts and wraps in a given cloth. Others are more concerned with defect detection of hand woven fabrics and a few consider recognizing
ABSTRACT: This paper critically examines the current state of the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) framework as administered and published by the World Economic Forum through its yearly Global Information Technology Report (GITR) series since its inception in 2001. The newly published Adjusted Weighting Function (AWF) is a model specifically designed to overcome the inadequacies reported
ABSTRACT: In the face of rising pressure from climate change, rising populations and decreasing crop yields, Nigeria is faced with the task of confronting the critical challenge of efficiently delivering sustainable and healthy diets for her citizens. However, the poor performance of Nigeria’s agricultural sector has been attributed to the insufficient application of Information and
ABSTRACT: The importance of stop words list generation helps in the elimination of stop words, which contribute to reduce the size of the vector space of the corpus and indexing structure considerably to obtain a high compression rate, speed up calculation and increase the accuracy of information retrieval systems. The proposed system focuses on the
ABSTRACT: Membrane computing, otherwise known as P system, is a recently introduced area of distributed parallel computing of a biochemical type. Several variants have been consider in the literature .In this paper, a variant of P systems for arithmetic operations on non-negative integers based on weak priorities for rule application is considered. Consequently, we obtain
ABSTRACT: Cryptography is the science of writing in secrets. In cryptography, public key algorithms are known to be slower than symmetric key alternatives because of their basis in modular arithmetic. The modular arithmetic is computationally heavy and time consuming. In view of this, it has become a great challenge to implement RSA in a faster
ABSTRACT: Recent research on image encryption schemes has focused on chaotic systems in order to meet the demand for real-time secure image transmission over the Internet. In this paper, we propose a new image encryption scheme based on Shimizu-Morioka chaotic system. The scheme consists of two stages: the confusion (mixing) stage and the diffusion stage.
ABSTRACT: The process of official and systematic numbering or counting people is taking a census. This has led to the proposal of various census models for implementation. Some of these census models have been marred by controversies like inaccuracies, data manipulation and inflation of results. As sophisticated technology continues to impact on organizations and countries,
ABSTRACT: Description Logic (DL) being a knowledge representation language that is widely used in building ontologies is a crisp language and lacks representation and reasoning for vague concepts in an ontology for some real-world applications like medical records which has been confronted with the challenge of analysing, interpreting or processing medical data involving vague concepts
ABSTRACT: Proliferation and increased performance of mobile computing systems has brought about development of myriad of mobile applications including mobile surveillance, mobile news, mobile games, mobile learning, mobile health etc. Mobile health has many sub-fields one of which is mobile nursing. In this paper, framework for provision of effective mobile nursing system was developed, the
