This paper presents a new S-Box design algorithm of hidden hyperchaos in a 5-D hyperchaotic Burke-Shaw system, which is obtained by adding feedback controllers to the classic Burke-Shaw system. Of particular interest is ...

Watermarking is a method of data hiding in relation to information security and copyright protection. In this paper, a new kurtosis-based watermarking approach is proposed for compressed video files. The proposed approach ...

A simple methodology to predict crack initiation life is described in the fatigue damage assessment of metallic structures typically used in ground vehicle industry. A phenomenological constitutive model is integrated with ...

Analysis of solar radiation on buildings at the urban or individual scale has an important share in the formation of a sustainable environment. The accuracy of solar radiation analysis in buildings depends on the holistic ...

In this study, the multilayer neural networks (MLNNs) with sigmoid hidden layers and radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) were compared for quantitative identification of individual gas concentrations in their ...

In the last decade, wireless sensor networks have attracted many researchers. One of the main topics adopted by researchers studying on wireless sensor networks is developing routing protocols for wireless systems. Routing ...

Image processing and transmission systems may introduce some amount of distortion or artefacts in a digital image. This fact usually leads to a visual or statistical image quality assessment (IQA) required in many applications ...

Routing is one of the most important problems in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Various techniques have been developed to cope with this problem. Ant-based routing is optimization technique used commonly. Ant-based routing ...

An American Sign Language (ASL) recognition system is being developed using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to translate ASL words into English. The system uses a sensory glove called the Cyberglove (TM) and a Flock of ...
