Abstract: In this article, we propose about biometric network, the essence of the problem and identification. The system finds facial images in auto mode via video camera, encodes them, and identifies them using the images available in a database. The joint use of integrated or distributed biometric database is one of the main goals. For this purpose, the used data is very important to be in accordance with internatissonal quality standards. The increased terrorist threat in the world has urged the biometric identification systems to be established in order to improve the safety systems. The advantages of biometric technology are shown to address the issues facing the authorities of law enforcement system, the state security system and the defense guarantee of the country on a national basis. The recommendations are given in this area.

Abstract: Estimating the number of operating nodes is an important factor in wireless communication network (WCN) in which the nodes are deployed in different forms to cover small or large areas of interest for a wide range of personal, scientific and commercial applications. It is important to estimate the number of operating nodes at any point in time for proper network operation and maintenance. Proper operation of a network depends on the total number of nodes present at a particular moment. Counting the number is very important in useful data collection, node localization and network maintenance. Also network performance depends on the area node ratio i.e. the number of operating nodes per unit area. So, node estimation is a vital requirement in wireless sensor network. At present, different estimation techniques exist but they are only effective for communication friendly networks. In underwater wireless sensor network node estimation faces a great difficulty due to underwater propagation characteristics such as high propagation delay, high absorption and dispersion. In such environment the number of nodes may vary frequently due to ad-hoc nature, power failure of nodes or environmental disaster. A statistical signal processing approach of node estimation is proposed in this paper and the performance of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing the results with other techniques. The nodes are considered as acoustic signal sources and their number is obtained through the cross correlation of the acoustic signals received at two sensors in the network. The mean of the cross correlation function is related with the number of nodes and is used as the estimation parameter in the process. Theoretical and simulation results are provided which show effectiveness of the signal processing approach instead of protocols in node estimation process

Abstract: Literature on Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has shown that individuals working in a particular context have specific needs or are expected to have specific skills in a particular language, and that the language used at work often differs from that used in other contexts. As such, this study tried to review the oral as well as written needs of language users in the context of workplaces. To do this end, an interview protocol was used which consisted of 15 semi-structured questions. In addition to the interviews with graduates, 15 of their workplace supervisors were also interviewed via the telephone to gather details of the company communication profiles and to obtain their views about the graduates' particular communication needs. Furthermore, some authentic workplace texts were collected and several programmed visits to workplaces were undertaken thereof. The findings confirm that foreign language skills are an increasingly important basic component of professional academic skills, particularly in countries which have major business contacts with the world and their native languages are not among the major world languages. The surveys indicated that there were substantial uses of English, but with far greater use of written compared with spoken English. Close co-operation with employers in planning language courses is thus needed in order to tailor language teaching to adequately meet the needs of the future academic workforce

Abstract: Exactly as we ask others how many languages they can speak, the ultimate goal that the majority of people wish to accomplish when they attempt learning a foreign/second language is the ability to speak that language fluently, and accurately. This desire for improving in the skill of speaking seems to have turned into a need, as well, in the recent years, owing to the globalization of English language, and its significance in the international communications, education, and trade. Meanwhile, it is fair enough to claim not all learners improve in their speaking at the same pace. Better put, given similar pedagogical quality, learners with different personality variables (e.g. risk-taking, reflectiveness, expressiveness, etc.) are prone to progress in speaking proficiency at different rates. Aiming at using technology as a setting for improving speaking proficiency, this study focused on two basic learner variables – introversion and extroversion – to compare its impacts on introvert and extrovert learners. To draw this comparison, 85 intermediate learners from 4 private English institutes in Tehran were selected on a random basis, and a Cambridge PET test was used to homogenize their general English proficiency, which reduced the population to 64. A 57-item version of Eysenck Personality Inventory was also used to diagnose the introversion and extroversion of the population, based on which 56 learners – 28 introvert and 28 extroverts – made it to the study. They were exposed to 51 hours of speaking practice via SKYPETM software, participating in a wide variety of pair and group discussions on diverse topics. After administration of the speaking section of the PET test again, as the post-test, and analyzing the results through Independent Samples T-Test, the introvert learners reported a higher rate of progress in their speaking proficiency that the extrovert learners. This proved that introvert learners could gain noticeable benefits in their oral production in the virtual instructional and interactional settings

Abstract: Cloud computing and virtualization are current topics that imply not only the industry but also the university. As server virtualization is an essential software infrastructure in virtualized environment, virtualized servers availability in the cloud remains an open question and the subject of several research projects. Without a perfect solution for software aging, virtual servers and resources will be in risk and service reliability in cloud project will degrade. To counteract software aging a technique named rejuvenation has been proposed, in order to remove aging related failures and its effect from virtual machines. In this paper we present our research work which aims to expose the different concepts inherent in virtualization and data centers as well as the state of art of rejuvenation with a comparison between its different techniques

Abstract: In the context of radical innovation the conventional market testing procedures seems ineffective to generate sufficient profit for the company and satisfy consumers need. Moreover, the alternative approaches lacked some features to successfully prototype testing. So, the gap between the literature and the real life application leads towards producing a radically new approach for market testing. Therefore, sole aim of this research was to produce an effective market testing procedure in the context of radical innovation. To produce a new testing procedure an extensive research has been done based on document research methodology on the alternative approaches such as Open Innovation, Lead User method, Delphi Technique and Product Bundling. The new procedure has been divided into two categories based on target market- one focuses on the mass consumers and the other on the expert consumers. The categorization was important as literature demonstrated that consumers perceive and behave differently when considering radically new products. The new procedure sheds light on the complexity of understanding consumer needs and technological innovation. The firms can use this procedure to effectively generate useful feedback before commercializing their radically innovated products

Abstract: Software Defined Network (SDN) is considered a burgeoning technology in the field of computer networks particularly and in communication technologies in general. A promising architecture of SDN mainly depends on decoupling mechanisms of the control and management plane from the data forwarding plane in network device. Besides, the use of programmable interfaces between network layers. In another word, SDN uses open, flexible, and dynamic architecture that is defined through the use of different software's programming languages. Simulation and emulation network platforms play an important role in studying and evaluating different networks design and performance. Mininet is the most popular SDN platform. This research is concerned with the impacts of operating system scheduling algorithms used by Mininet emulator on network performance with different controllers and topologies types and sizes. It has been noted that network performance under PROC scheduling algorithm was better and more stable than those under CFS or RT scheduling algorithms. As well, when network topology be more complicated, i.e. contains a large number of switches and presence of loops, the network performance is worse than that with simple topology especially, this case is more worse with RT scheduling algorithm

Abstract: An Electrocardiogram (ECG) graphically records changes in electrical potentials between different sites on the skin due to cardiac activity. The heart’s electrical activity is a depolarization and depolarization sequence. ECGs help in identifying cardiac arrhythmia because they have diagnostic information. ECG arrhythmia detection accuracy improves by using machine learning and data mining methods. This study proposes multi-layer perceptron neural network optimization using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to classify ECG arrhythmia. Symlet extracts RR intervals from ECG data as features while symmetric uncertainty assures feature reduction. GA optimizes learning rate and momentum.
