Recurrent error-based ridge polynomial neural networks for time series forecasting
Time series forecasting has attracted much attention due to its impact on many practical applications. Neural networks (NNs) have been attracting widespread interest as a promising tool for time series forecasting. The majority of NNs employ only autoregressive (AR) inputs (i.e., lagged time series …

Enhancement of social skills by using multimedia interactive social skills module application among students with autism spectrum disorder
Social skills deficits involving students with ASD hinder the development of social competence via the mainstream school environment. This is because students with ASD learning capability for social skills was behind the average expectation of their typical peers. However, they can increase their …

Dynamic key scheduling algorithm for block ciphers using quasigroup string transformation
Cryptographic ciphers depend on how quickly the key affects the output of the ciphers (ciphertext). Keys are traditionally generated from small size input (seed) to a bigger size random key(s). Key scheduling algorithm (KSA) is the mechanism that generates and schedules all sub-keys for each round …

Watermark redundancy using sudoku
In today’s world, designer of a watermarking system had to constantly faced with determined attacks to remove copyright information from a watermarked cover image. Due to these attacks, a watermark could be seriously corrupted and not detectable anymore or the watermark could be so noisy that it’s …

A hybrid haptic stimulation prosthetic wearable device to recover the missing sensation of the upper limb amputees
A hybrid haptic feedback stimulation system that is capable in sensing the contact pressure, the surface texture, and the temperature, simultaneously, was designed for a prosthetic hand to provide a tactile sensation to amputation patients. In addition, the haptic system was developed to enable the …

Efficient architectures of heterogeneous fpga-gpu for 3-d medical image compression
The advent of development in three-dimensional (3-D) imaging modalities have generated a massive amount of volumetric data in 3-D images such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound (US). Existing survey reveals the presence …

Automatic Parallelisation of Programs onto CPU+GPU Hybrid Systems
… Units has introduced a world of complexity into software development: not only is the core programming model drastically different, but what may be efficient on a CPU may be inefficient on a GPU. Furthermore, any program that contains parallel elements must be substantially re-written in order to …
