Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a light-sensitive protein which has a proton-pump function, and is found in the cell membrane of Halobacterium salinarum inhabiting the salt lake. Optical excitation of bR at an electrode-electrolyte interface generates differential photocurrents while an incident light is turned on and off. This unique functional response is similar to that seen in retinal neurons. This paper describes the fabrication and evaluation of the dip-coated bR thin films, photocurrent characteristics, and biomimetic artificial retinas with the bR thin films.

The UMTS users have a relative low bandwidth requirement and arbitrary mobility feature, while the WLAN users have a high bandwidth requirement and limited mobility feature. Efficient sharing of resources between UMTS and WLANs can improve the capacity as well as quality of service (QoS) metrics. In this paper, prioritize vertical handoff scheme in integrated UMTS/WLAN network proposed. In this scheme the call residence times are modeled by general distribution to adapt the flexible mobility environments. The new originated and horizontal handoff call of UMTS users that are blocked in the UMTS-only coverage, can attempt a vertical handoff to the underlying WLANs. In the WLANs these call are given higher priority than the WLANs users call by reserving some channel for them plus they can share the rest of the channels with the WLANs users. The channel occupancy times and the blocking and dropping probabilities was derived and calculated. From analysis and numerical results, the performance of the UMTS network is improved with integration of WLANs, especially when the WLANs are in hot-spot areas.

Recently, call centers are important from a customer service point of view because they have a significant impact on customer satisfaction. In general, most of the management cost for call centers is labor cost for Customer Service Representatives (CSRs), and it is important for companies to manage CSRs in a cost-effective manner, keeping a high quality of customer service. Therefore, most of companies install Interactive Voice Response systems (IVRs) in order to not only reduce CSR management cost, but also to provide high-quality customer service. In this paper, focusing on call centers with IVRs, we investigate the impact of the service time at IVRs and number of IVRs on the utilization of a CSR. To this end, we model the call center with IVRs by a queueing system with retrials, analyzing the steady state probability by a continuous-time Markov chain. We derive performance measures such as the mean number of redialing customers, the blocking probability and the mean sojourn time. Numerical results show that under a low arrival rate of new calls, the utilization of a CSR is insensitive to the IVR service time as well as to the number of IVRs, and that the utilization grows proportionally with the increase in the probability that a customer in an IVR leaves for the CSR service.

In this paper, an Artificial Immune System based on Hollandâs Classifier is proposed as a new method for network intrusion detection. This paper is not aimed to provide a comparative study but to give more understanding on the feasibility of combining Artificial Immune System and Hollandâs Classifier to detect network intrusion. This new Artificial Immune System, named AIS-CS, can attain higher than 90% intrusion detection with a false negative percentage below 10% and a fairly low false positive rate on a network composed of 50 regular nodes and 50 intruders. The experiments appear to suggest that the best performance can be found by setting the tolerization and the simulation parameters differently. Since there are numerous parameters involved, more experiments need to be performed to further measure this Holland classifier based Artificial Immune System.

In this non-comparative study paper, local regression modeling is added to Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). This local regression modeling is used to replace the random action selection in the simulation part of MCTS. The modified MCTS method and the regular MCTS method were tested against each other on the tic-tac-toe and the connect four games. The results of the experiment indicated that local regression helped the modified MCTS to outperform the regular MCTS on moderately memory demanding games, such as connect four. The performances of the two approaches appear to equal each other on low branching factor and less memory demanding games similar to tic-tac-toe.
