Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Odor Key Technique for Security Applications Using Electronic Nose SystemMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: A novel approach to security applications that makes use of odors as password generators is developed and tested. The developed system detects and converts odor signals that are randomly selected to binary signals and then intelligently compares them with previously stored values. Approach: The interface device in question then either opens its interface if comparison is successful or … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Key Distribution Using Decoy State ProtocolSellami Ali, Shuhairi Saharudin, M. R.B. WahiddinProblem statement: Quantum key distribution provides unconditional security guaranteed by the fundamental laws of quantum physics. Unfortunately, for real-life experimental set-ups, which mainly based on faint laser pulses, the occasional production of multi-photons and channel loss make it possible for sophisticated eavesdroppers to launch various subtle eavesdropping attacks including the Photon Number Splitting (PNS) attack. The decoy state protocols recently … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMessage Based Random Variable Length Key Encryption AlgorithmHamid Mirvaziri, Kasmiran Jumari Mahamod Ismail, Zurina Mohd HanapiProblem statement: A block ciphers provides confidentiality in cryptography but cryptanalysis of the classical block ciphers demonstrated some old weaknesses grabbing a partial key in any stage of encryption procedure leads to reconstructing the whole key. Exhaustive key search shows that key generation should be indeterminist and random for each round. Matching cipher-text attack shows that larger size of block … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Electric Power Distribution Using Hybrid Simulated Annealing ApproachWalid Ahmed, Alaa F. ShetaThe key goal of electric power distribution companies is to provide a high quality of service with a low cost of operation. The growing customer needs requires a re-distribution of the Power over various nodes of the Distributed Generation (DG) facilitates. The re-distribution might cause over load on various parts of the networks which if not correctly optimized might increase … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending UML-RT for Control System ModelingQimin Gao, L. J. Brown, L. F. CapretzThere is a growing interest in adopting object technologies for the development of real-time control systems. Several commercial tools, currently available, provide object-oriented modeling and design support for real-time control systems. While these products provide many useful facilities, such as visualization tools and automatic code generation, they are all weak in addressing the central characteristic of real-time control systems design, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Wide Scale Classification of Class Imbalance Problem and its Solutions: A Systematic Literature ReviewGillala Rekha, Amit Kumar Tyagi, V. Krishna ReddyIn today’s world, most of the data (real world) is present in imbalanced form by nature. This is because of not having efficient algorithms to put this data (i.e., generated data by billion of internet- connected devices (IoTs)) in respective format. Imbalanced data poses a great challenge to (both) data mining and machine learning algorithms. The imbalanced dataset consists of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 3 Jul 2019 · 9,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
