The Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) came as a saviour for heterogeneous networks marked by intermittent connectivity and low energy levels. By the introduction of the BUNDLE layer in addition to the TCP/IP layers, the DTN tries to achieve what the TCP/IP could not i.e. allow communication in challenged networks. The Postbox DTN is a type of DTN which has a persistent node known as Postbox which is always ON. All nodes have a direct connection to it and no other connection between nodes exist. Hence all communication is made via and by the Postbox just like the real world Postbox scenario. Apart from the novel concept of a 1 hop routing strategy, it is very easy to deploy. However its ease of use comes at a huge cost of energy usage by its always ON Postboxes. This work proposes a modified Postbox model which conserves energy without depreciating its performance. Simulation results confirm our hypothesis.

Proxy re-encryption (PRE), introduced by Blaze et al. in 1998, allows a semi-trusted proxy with the re-encryption key to translatea ciphertext under the delegator into another ciphertext, which can be decrypted by the delegatee. In this process, the proxy is required to know nothing about the plaintext. Many PRE schemes have been proposed so far, however until now almost all the unidirectional PRE schemes suffer from the transferable property. That is, if the proxy and a set of delegatees collude, they can re-delegate the delegator's decryption rights to the other ones, while the delegator has no agreement on this. Thus designing non-transferable unidirectional PRE scheme is an important open research problem in the field. In this paper, we tackle this open problem by using the composite order bilinear pairing. Concretely, we design a non-transferable unidirectional PRE scheme based on Hohenberger et al.'s unidirectional PRE scheme. Furthermore, we discuss our scheme's application to secure cloud storage, especially for sharing private multimedia content for social cloud storage users.
Instance-transfer learning has emerged as a promising learning framework to boost performance of prediction models on newly-arrived tasks. The success of the framework depends on the relevance of the source data to th...

Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is a kind of imaging modality, which offers clearer images of soft tissues than computed tomography(CT). It is especially suitable for brain disease detection. It is beneficial to detect diseases automatically and accurately. We proposed a pathological brain detection method based on brain MR images and online sequential extreme learning machine. First, seven wavelet entropies(WE) were extracted from each brain MR image to form the feature vector. Then, an online sequential extreme learning machine(OS-ELM) was trained to differentiate pathological brains from the healthy *** experiment results over 132 brain MRIs showed that the proposed approach achieved a sensitivity of 93.51%, a specificity of 92.22%, and an overall accuracy of 93.33%,which suggested that our method is effective.

Background: To harness the full potential of social media for epidemiological surveillance of drug abuse trends, the field needs a greater level of automation in processing and analyzing social media content. Objectives: The objective of the study is to describe the development of supervised machine-learning techniques for the eDrugTrends platform to automatically classify tweets by type/source of communication (personal, official/media, retail) and sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) expressed in cannabis- and synthetic cannabinoid-related tweets. Methods: Tweets were collected using Twitter streaming Application Programming Interface and filtered through the eDrugTrends platform using keywords related to cannabis, marijuana edibles, marijuana concentrates, and synthetic cannabinoids. After creating coding rules and assessing intercoder reliability, a manually labeled data set (N=4000) was developed by coding several batches of randomly selected subsets of tweets extracted from the pool of 15,623,869 collected by eDrugTrends (May-November 2015). Out of 4000 tweets, 25% (1000/4000) were used to build source classifiers and 75% (3000/4000) were used for sentiment classifiers. Logistic Regression (LR), Naive Bayes (NB), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) were used to train the classifiers. Source classification (n=1000) tested Approach 1 that used short URLs, and Approach 2 where URLs were expanded and included into the bag-of-words analysis. For sentiment classification, Approach 1 used all tweets, regardless of their source/type (n=3000), while Approach 2 applied sentiment classification to personal communication tweets only (2633/3000, 88%). Multiclass and binary classification tasks were examined, and machine-learning sentiment classifier performance was compared with Valence Aware Dictionary for sEntiment Reasoning (VADER), a lexicon and rule-based method. The performance of each classifier was assessed using 5-fold cross validation that calculated average F-s

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the electrical manifestation of the contractile activity of the heart. In this work, it is proposed to utilize an adaptive threshold technique on spectrogram computed using Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for QRS complex detection in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The algorithm consists of preprocessing the raw ECG signal to remove the power-line interference, computing the STFT, applying adaptive thresholding technique and followed by identifying QRS peaks. Sensitivity, Specificity and Detection error rate are calculated on MIT-BIH database using the proposed method, which yields a competitive results when compared with the state of art in QRS detection.
