Day after day, global economy becomes tougher. It is a fact in which Cloud Computing business gets impacted the most. When it comes to cost, Cloud Computing is the most attractive paradigm for IT solutions. It is because Cloud Computing relaxes cost constraints. This relaxing enables Cloud Customers to operate their business through Cloud Computing under such economic pressure. On the other side

Background/Aim. Respectively with the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C in the world, using noninvasive methods as an alternative method in staging chronic liver diseases for avoiding the drawbacks of biopsy is significantly increasing. The aim of this study is to combine the serum biomarkers and clinical information to develop a classification model that can predict advanced liver fibrosis

Harmonic phase (HARP) tracking is one of the most commonly used techniques for estimating the myocardium regional function from tagged cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging sequences. Nevertheless, tag fading and phase distortion can severely limit the tracking accuracy of the technique. In this work, we propose to modify the HARP tracking algorithm to impose a constraint of locally uniform

This paper presents a model that was developed to address SemEval Task 7: "Determining Sentiment Intensity of English and Arabic Phrases", with focus on 'Arabic Phrases'. The goal of this task is to determine the degree to which some given term is associated with positive sentiment. The underlying premise behind the model that we have adopted is that determining the context (positive or negative)

This paper describes our participation in the SemEval-2016 task 5, Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA). We participated in two slots in the sentence level ABSA (Subtask 1) namely: aspect category extraction (Slot 1) and sentiment polarity extraction (Slot 3) in English Restaurants and Laptops reviews. For Slot 1, we applied different models for each domain. In the restaurants domain, we used an

Arabic Twitter Sentiment Analysis has been gaining a lot of attention lately with supervised approaches being exploited widely. However, to date, there has not been an experimental study that examines how different configurations of the Bag of Words model, text representation scheme, can affect various supervised machine learning methods. The goal of the presented work is to do exactly that

AIM: To develop a mathematical model for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a panel of serum proteins in combination with α-fetoprotein (AFP). METHODS: Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-8, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor II (sTNF-R II), proteasome, and β-catenin were measured in 479 subjects categorized into four

In-vehicle network security is becoming a major concern for the automotive industry. Although there is significant research done in this area, there is still a significant gap between research and what is actually applied in practice. Controller area network (CAN) gains the most concern of community but little attention is given to FlexRay. Many signs indicate the approaching end of CAN usage and

The rise in Arabic usage within various socialmedia platforms, and notably in Twitter, has led to a growing interest in building ArabicNatural Language Processing (NLP) applications capable of dealing with informal colloquialArabic, as it is the most commonly used form of Arabic in social media. The uniquecharacteristics of the Arabic language make the extraction of Arabic named entities

Cloud computing is enabling proper, on-demand network access to a shared pool of computing resources that is elastic in reserve and release with minimal interaction from cloud service provider. As cloud gains maturity, cloud service providers are becoming more competitive, which increase the percentage of cloud adoption. But security remains the most cited challenge in Cloud. So, while we are
