Water is always a crucial part of everyday life. Due to global environmental situation, water management and conservation is vital for human survival. In recent times, there were huge needs of consumer based humanitarian projects that could be rapidly developed using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. In this paper, we propose an IoT based water monitoring system that measures water level in real-time. Our prototype is based on idea that the level of the water can be very important parameter when it comes to the flood occurrences especially in disaster prone areas. A water level sensor is used to detect the desired parameter, and if the water level reaches the parameter, the signal will be feed in realtime to social network like Twitter. A cloud server was configured as data repository. The measurement of the water levels are displayed in remote dashboard.
In recent years, people nowadays easily to contact each other by using smartphone. Most of the smartphone now embedded with inertial sensors such accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic sensors, GPS and vision sensors. Furthermore, various researchers now dealing with this kind of sensors to recognize human activities incorporate with machine learning algorithm not only in the field of medical diagnosis, forecasting, security and for better live being as well. Activity recognition using various smartphone sensors can be considered as a one of the crucial tasks that needs to be studied. In this paper, we proposed various combination classifiers models consists of J48, Multi-layer Perceptron and Logistic Regression to capture the smoothest activity with higher frequency of the result using vote algorithm. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of recognition the six activities using ensemble approach. Publicly accelerometer dataset obtained from Wireless Sensor Data Mining (WISDM) lab has been used in this study. The result of classification was validated using 10fold cross validation algorithm in order to make sure all the experiments perform well.
Autonomous agents can negotiate on behalf of buyers and sellers to make a contract in the e-marketplace. In bilateral negotiation, they need to find a joint agreement by satisfying each other. That is, an agent should learn its opponent's preferences. However, the agent has limited time to find an agreement while trying to protect its payoffs by keeping its preferences private. In doing so, generating offers with incomplete information about the opponent's preferences is a complex process and, therefore, learning these preferences in a short time can assist the agent to generate proper offers. In this paper, we have developed an incremental on-line learning approach by using a hybrid soft-computing technique to learn the opponent's preferences. In our learning approach, first, the size of possible preferences is reduced by encoding the uncertain preferences into a series of fuzzy membership functions. Then, a simplified genetic algorithm is used to search the best fuzzy preferences that articulate the opponent's intention. Experimental results showed that our learning approach can estimate the opponent's preferences effectively. Moreover, results indicate that agents which use the proposed learning approach not only have more chances to reach agreements but also will be able to find agreements with greater joint utility.
The Internet is one of the fastest growing areas of intelligence gathering. During their navigation web users leave many records of their activity. This huge amount of data can be a useful source of knowledge. Advanced mining processes are needed for this knowledge to be extracted, understood and used. Web Usage Mining (WUM) systems are specifically designed to carry out this task by analyzing the data representing usage data about a particular Web Site. WUM can model user behavior and, therefore, to forecast their future movements. Online prediction is one web usage mining application. However, the accuracy of the prediction and classification in the current architecture of predicting users' future requests systems can not still satisfy users especially in Huge Web sites. To provide online prediction efficiently, we advance an architecture for online predicting in Web Usage Mining system and propose a novel approach based on LCS algorithm for classifying user navigation patterns for predicting users' future requests. The Excremental results show that the approach can improve accuracy of classification in the architecture.
The existence of experimental animal model helps in the understanding of pathopysiology of diabetes and facilitates in the development of drugs for its treatment. Chemical induction using streptozotocin (STZ) shows to be the most popularly used procedure in induction of diabetes in experimental animals. Numerous studies have shown that development of diabetic animal models using certain dosage of STZ on Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats. The aim of the present investigation was conducted to develop type 2 diabetic model using double dose of nicotinamide (NA) and STZ on Sprague Dawley rats within 7 days. Male Sprague-Dawley (250-280 g) were injected with NA, 15 minutes prior the injection of STZ via single and double dose of intraperitoneal (i.p) injection, after overnight fasting. The blood glucose level was monitored from the diabetic animal on day 3, 7, 14 and 21 after the induction of diabetes. Blood glucose levels > 11.0 mmol/L were considered as diabetic condition. In addition, physiological parameters such as food and fluid intakes, changes in body weight and biochemical parameters, blood glucose level were compared with diabetic and control group. In conclusion, the chemically induced diabetic model in Sprague Dawley rats appears to be not suitable compared to the other experimental model which using high fat diet (HFD) and low dose of streptozotocin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
