The growing self-organizing map (GSOM) has been presented as an extended version of the self-organizing map (SOM), which has significant advantages for knowledge discovery applications. In this… (More)
In this paper, we propose a secure account-based payment protocol which is suitable for wireless networks. The proposed protocol employs symmetric-key operations which require lower computation at… (More)
In the data mining field, association rules are discovered having domain knowledge specified as a minimum support threshold. The accuracy in setting up this threshold directly influences the number… (More)
Despite advances in fingerprint matching, partial/incomplete/fragmentary fingerprint recognition remains a challenging task. While miniaturization of fingerprint scanners limits the capture of only… (More)
The emergence of mobile computing provides the ability to access information at any time and place. However, as mobile computing environments have inherent factors like power, storage, asymmetric… (More)
Lung carcinoma is one of the most lethal of cancers worldwide. Positron emission tomography (PET) data has greater sensitivity and specificity in the staging of lung cancer than computer tomography… (More)
The Murchison carbonaceous chondrite contains a new type of xenon component, enriched by up to 50 percent in five of the nine stable xenon isotopes, mass numbers 128 to 132. This component,… (More)
BACKGROUND
Sedentary behavior is emerging as an independent risk factor for chronic disease; however, potential mechanisms underpinning these observations are not well understood.
PURPOSE
This… (More)
Range search query processing has become one of the most important technologies in spatial and mobile databases. Most literature focuses on static range search extended from one point on both… (More)
