Connecting the rural communities of the developing world remains a huge task in both the areas of adequate technology and local implementation. With widely varying topography and demographics, rural communities provide a unique challenge in connectivity that wireless communication seems destined to meet. Specifically the ubiquitous nature of wireless mesh networks (WMN) presents a theoretically plausible solution to these varying difficulties. There has been a growing interest in these unique challenges with several recent research publications on long distance links in WMN, channel allocation schemes and performance. However the current analysis and simulation based research that is the focus in most technical literature lacks the proof of concept that comes from an actual implementation. Therefore a novel approach to rural wireless connectivity is presented from an actual test case in the rural village of Macha, Zambia. Its indoor to indoor mesh network follows a realistic deployment instead of planned logical deployment strategy yet is highly functional. Areas of research arising from an actual implementation are presented with performance results of the resulting network presented.

Test case mutation and generation (m&g) based on data samples is a n effective way to generate test cases for Knowledge-based fuzzing, but present m&g technique is only capable of one-dimensional m&g at a time based on a data sample and thus it is impossible to find a vulnerability that can only be detected by multidimensional m&g. This paper proposes a mathematical model FTSG that formally describes Fuzzing Test Suite Generation based on m&g, and can process multidimension input elements m&g, which is done by a Genetic Algorithm Mutation operator (GAMutator). By executionoriented input-output (I/O) analysis, the influence relationships between input elements and insecure functions in target application were collected. Based on these relationships, GAMutator can directly mutate corresponding input elements to trigger the suspected vulnerability in a target insecure function, which could never been found by one-dimension m&g fuzzing. Importantly, GAMutator does not bring the input combination explosion, and the number of test cases it generates is linear with the number of insecure functions. Finally, an experiment on Libpng has proved that FTSG could effectively enrich the ability of knowledge-based fuzzing technique to find vulnerabilities.

Most video enhancement algorithms assume that the noise model of the imaging system is known as AWGN thereby imaging process model violations often occur since the real noise model is not known in many practical applications. Robust statistics has emerged as a family of theories and techniques for estimation while dealing with deviations from the idealized model assumptions. In this paper, we propose a novel robust video enhancement algorithm using SRR (Super-Resolution Reconstruction) based on the stochastic regularization technique by minimizing a cost function. First, the registration process is used to estimate the relationship between the reference frame and other neighboring frames. Then, the Geman&McClure norm is used for measuring the difference between the projected estimate of the high quality image and each low high quality image and for removing outliers in the data. Moreover, Tikhonov regularization is incorporated in the proposed framework in order to remove artifacts from the final answer and to improve the rate of convergence. Finally, experimental results are presented to demonstrate the outstanding performance of the proposed algorithm in comparison to several previously published methods using standard sequences such as Foreman and Susie that are corrupted by several noise models such as AWGN, Poisson Noise, Salt & Pepper Noise and Speckle Noise.

In this paper, we propose a alternative robust video enhancement algorithm using SRR based on the regularization ML technique. First, the classical registration process is used to estimate the relationship between the reference frame and other neighboring frames. Subsequently, the Andrew's Sine norm is used for measuring the difference between the projected estimate of the high quality image and each low high quality image and for removing outliers in the data. Moreover, Tikhonov regularization is incorporated in the proposed framework in order to remove artifacts from the final answer and to improve the rate of convergence. Later, the reconstructed video frame is estimated by minimize the total cost function. Finally, experimental results are presented to demonstrate the outstanding performance of the proposed algorithm in comparison to several previously published methods using standard sequences such as Foreman and Susie that are corrupted by several noise models such as AWGN, Poisson Noise, Salt & Pepper Noise and Speckle Noise.

Many image video enhancements assume that the noise model of the imaging system is known in advance such as AWGN. However, the real noise model is not known in many practical applications. In this paper, we propose a novel robust video enhancement algorithm using SRR (super-resolution reconstruction) based on the stochastic regularization technique by minimizing a cost function. First, the classical registration process is used to estimate the relationship between the reference frame and other neighboring frames. Later, the Hampel norm is used for measuring the difference between the projected estimate of the high quality image and each low high quality image and for removing outliers in the data. Moreover, Tikhonov regularization is incorporated in the proposed framework in order to remove artifacts from the final answer and to improve the rate of convergence.

Studies indicate that making learners feel good is important only minor to clear knowledge transformation. Many studies have tried to use virtual humans as a part of interface in learning systems to increase the effect of instructions. Based on social interaction and pedagogical theories, many e-learning systems use animated films or virtual reality to boost human-computer engagement and ease their negative emotions. However, affective learning systems still need much research to improve their functionalities and usability. This study proposed a convenient approach to develop an emotionally interactive learning system;learners can express their emotions by mouse-clicking while learning. A virtual human was created to empathically react to learners in proactive and reactive ways to encourage and persuade them into persistent learning and help achieve their goals. Experimental results show that, averagely, subjects can tell virtual human's emotions and agree to its empathic reactions. Persuasion conducted by virtual human could not increase subjects' learning time, but could significantly increase their completion rate of exercises. Copyright 2009 ACM.
