Abstract

Ad hoc routing technology has been developed primarily for networks mobile nodes. The operational life of untethered nodes will be limited by its power source, so ad hoc networks strongly depend of the efficient use of their batteries. All the layers of communication and coupled in power consumption and solutions addressing the power saving issue include transmission power control, power aware routing and low power modes at the physical layer. At the network layer, routing protocols may balance power consumption at nodes according to the routing decisions. Several authors have proposed power aware routing algorithms based on power cost functions. In this work we present a performance analysis of Modified Power Level Based Dynamic Source Routing protocols for MANET was proposed in this study. The objective of this protocol is to reduce energy consumption in MANET while maintaining connectivity in the network. The overall result is that energy spent in transmitting overhead packets is reduced. This reduction allows more energy in transmitting data packets. The DSR protocol is modified to implement Modified Power Level Based DSR and these implementations are tested with a network simulator NS-2. The results of the simulation prove significant improvements of power consumption and controlling overhead packets.

Abstract

Image processing plays an important role in medical field because of its capability. Particularly, image segmentation offer several guides in medical field for analyzing the captured image. Usually, the medical images are captured via different medical image acquisition techniques. The captured image may be affected by noise because of some faults in the capturing devise; this will leads to false diagnosis. This paper focuses on enhancing the captured brain image by using image segmentation technique. Usually, brain image is captured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique. The captured brain image will have high amount of noise or distortion, this noise must be removed before it is used for diagnosis purpose. Brain segmentation is widely applied for removing those noises to produce the clear image. The segmentation can be achieved with the help of clustering techniques. The widely used clustering technique for brain image segmentation technique is Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering. But FCM will result in poor segmentation when more edge regions are involved. To overcome this problem, Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means Algorithm (FPCM) is introduces. Even FPCM will result in poor segmentation when more noise are involved. To overcome all these problems, a Modified Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means Algorithm (MFPCM) is proposed in this paper. The experimental result show that the segmentation resulted for the proposed technique is better when compared to the existing methods.

Abstract

Unimodal biometric systems have to contend with a variety of problems such as noisy data, intraclass variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-universality, spoof attacks, and unacceptable error rates. Some of these limitations can be addressed by deploying multimodal biometric systems that integrate the evidence presented by multiple sources of information. Fusion of multiple biometrics for human authentication performance improvement has received considerable attention. This paper presents a novel multimodal biometric authentication method integrating face and iris based on score level fusion. For score level fusion, support vector machine (SVM) based fusion rule is applied to combine two matching scores, respectively from Laplacian face based face verifier and phase information based iris verifier, to generate a single scalar score which is used to make the final decision. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method can bring obvious improvement comparing to the unimodal biometric identification methods and the previous fused face-iris methods. This paper discusses the various scenarios that are possible to improve the performance of multimodal biometric systems using the combined characteristics such as iris and face, the level of fusion (score level fusion) is applied to that are possible and the integration strategies that can be adopted in order to increase the overall system performance.

Keywords

Abstract

Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data of human body, extracting a feature set from the acquired data, and comparing this set against to the template set in the database. Biometric systems have now been deployed in various commercial, civilian and forensic applications as a means of establishing identity. The biometric system is one such that can provide accurate and reliable scheme for person verification. Biometric systems are of two types: unimodal and multimodal.:Unimodal Biometric systems based solely on one-modal biometrics are often not able to meet the desired performance requirements for large user population applications, due to problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-university, spoof attacks, and unacceptable error rates. Multimodal biometrics refers to the use of a combination of two or more biometric modalities in a single identification system. The multimodal biometrics are; face and finger print, face and iris/, iris and finger print etc. In this paper we have concentrated in fusion of face and iris for multimodal biometric authentication. We adopted a new approach called the contourlet transform is a new extension of the wavelet transform in two dimensions using multi-scale and directional filter banks for iris feature extraction.

Abstract

A new approach for the switched Reluctance Motor Converter is proposed in this paper. C-Dump converter circuit deals with the energy feedback to the dc link. In the proposed Converter model, the energy stored in the phase windings is utilized for energizing one of the phase windings. This model is suitable for 4 phase Switched Reluctance Motor and also for the integral multiples of 4 phase. The proposed model is simulated using PSIM software.

Abstract

The influence of oral contraceptives (DCs) on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism has been the subject of many investigators because of their association with atherosclerotic diseased data on studies of serum lipids and lipoproteins in OC users is conflicting and confusing due to different mode of selection of patients, designing of experiments, various dosages and types of steroids used in OC and multiplicity of methods employed for their analysis. Moreover most of the studies have been carried out in countries where diets are rich in animal fats.
