In the recent years, face recognition has obtained much attention. Using combined 2D and 3D face recognition is an alternative method to deal with face recognition. A novel multimodal face recognition algorithm based on Gabor wavelet information is presented in this paper. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Linear Discriminant analysis (LDA) have been used for size reduction. The system has combined 2D and 3D systems in the decision level which presents higher performance in contrast with methods which use only 2D and 3D systems, separately. The proposed algorithm is examined with FRAV3D database that has faces with pose variation and 95% performance that is achieved in rank-one for fusion experiment.

Today optimization is one of the most important issues in all engineering fields. According to importance of this issue in planning power transmission lines, appropriate areas have been accreted for numerous researches. Widespread usages of GIS application and its combination with GA base methods offer practical solution for power transmission lines design. In this paper, we first study about efficient criteria for selecting appropriate points for installing towers, and then we can evaluate available points for installing power towers by one of the multi-criteria decision-making analysis, named Analytic Hierarchy Process. As we know, all of these nodes are not suitable for being one of the transmission line Points. So by using this procedure (AHP) we calculate cost function of transmission line between towers. Finally, with GA algorithm, the best and the most optimum route between source and destination will be selected.

Contour layer of topographic maps can provide useful information for many vector based GIS applications. A topographic map consists of various semantic layers of overlapping information, differentiated primarily based on colour. Hence, to extract the contour layer from a topomap, colour segmentation algorithms are employed. However due to scanning and inherent features of topomap, colour space selection which provides efficient segmentation results becomes essential. The method proposed uses PCA as feature selection approach to select the colour features of topomap. The clusters are further processed to map to the layers of topomap using spatial properties.

Recent years have witnessed the generation of online social networking web sites, in which millions of members publicly articulate mutual friendship relations and share user-created contents. But it is just a few years that we have seen some efforts to create special social networks to be used in academic environments. Considering the increasing needs for this kind of web sites, we did a comprehensive survey on more than 20 academic social networks for gathering and categorizing the essential requirements for this kind of web sites. Hence, having some good experiences by creating the Iranian Experts Social Network with more than 120,000 official members, in this paper we try to clarify the features of Social Networks in academic environments and propose a category for their requirements.

Skin color is an often used feature in machine vision application related to humans, regarded as pixel-based skin color detection. This method has an inherent problem when color overlaps between skin and none skin regions In this paper a skin detection system based on a regional property of objects, called; Lambertian reflection is proposed. Skin is a none-Lambertian surface. In order to use this feature, first, a Single Gaussian Model (SGM) is used to detect skin like pixels in an image. From detected skin regions, ones having none-Lambertian surface property are detected as final skin regions. To detect none-lambertian skin regions, an exponential is fit the histogram of potential skin regions and based on the fit, it is decided if the region is skin or not. By incorporating this feature the False Positive detect rate (FPR) is greatly decreased.

Official websites of an organisation is a gateway to inform the public about its profiles, products or services, and other related information for the interested parties. Nevertheless such websites are sometimes not updated, do not provide required information or the worst case they are abandoned despite the fact that software developers have fulfilled the requirements of the users, and the systems have been deployed successfully. Hence, such websites require a dynamic web design that can delegate responsibility to each staff in ensuring the contents are always updated either to be shared among the staff or the public. This paper proposes an approach called EPISoDe that directly integrates organisations' policies as part of functional requirements in software development in this case we focus on website design and its implementation of higher learning institutions. We have deployed the proposed EPISoDe approach in a prototype called DyWeMS that provides an engine of a dynamic web design. We evaluated the approach on an official website of a school in a higher learning institution using DyWeMS dynamic engine. It implies that an organisational official website has the potential to be a one-stop information and knowledge centre that reflects organisations' history and legacy using the proposed EPISoDe approach that promotes delegation of responsibilities among the staff with the support of dynamic web design.

This paper presents part of a joint venture between Dstl and LJMU. The purpose of this work is to investigate the interaction of electromagnetic (EM) waves within a resonant microwave cavity to sense and characterise filter materials for residual life indication. This paper looks at a single filter material, ASZM-TEDA activated carbon, which is commonly used for military applications where personnel are likely to come under attack from chemical agents. The paper briefly introduces activated carbon, discusses theory relevant to the work, the methodology used for investigation, and finally a selection of pertinent measurements taken using a bespoke microwave cavity resonator.

A novel approach based on the real coded genetic algorithm (RGA) is proposed to improve nulling performance of time modulated linear antenna arrays. The RGA adjusts the excitation amplitude of each radiating element to place deep nulls in the desired direction. Various results are presented to show the advantages of this approach considering one and multiple desired nulls.

This paper presents an integration of a model-based methodology for embedded real-time software with MARTE. However, although has being introduced as a new profile to overcome problem in previous profile, a sound and systematic methodology is necessary to tackle complexity problem that arise. The objective of this paper is to propose an integration of profile and method for satisfying embedded real-time software requirements and helping engineers to model their system, enhancing the structure and behavior modeling. For that, this paper describes a proposed methodology for the integration process, involving two elements: a profile and a method. The integration result will support to solve complexity whereby the profile is used to solve the lack of specific modeling language notation for embedded real-time system and the method can provide a systematical software process. The proposed integration component model is applied on a case study to show its enhancements.

Names are categorized as proper nouns. Identifying nouns in unstructured text is very challenging since the number is almost unlimited. Name recognition can be used for part-of-speech (POS) tagging or automatic term acquisition in natural language processing (NLP). In this paper we proposed a general approach to recognize names in Malay text. Using the proposed approach, we implement an application of free indexing for indexing names from a collection of Malay texts. Our evaluation shows that the application reach 92% precision score, 54% recall score, and F-score 68% in indexing names from news' articles.
