Cholesterol is an individual type of lipid structure and about 90 percent of cellular cholesterol is present at plasma membrane region. Cholesterol Recognition/interaction Amino acid Consensus (CRAC) sequence, generally referred as the CRAC (L/V)-X1−5-(Y)-X1−5-(K/R) and the new cholesterol-binding domain is similar to the CRAC sequence, but exhibits the inverse orientation along the polypeptide chain i.e. CARC (K/R)-X1−5-(Y/F)-X1−5-(L/V). GPCR is treated as a biggest super family in human physiology and probably more than 900 protein genes included in this family. Among all membrane proteins GPCR is responsible for novel drug discovery in all pharmaceuticals industry. In earlier researches the researchers did not find the required number of valid motifs in terms of helices and motif types so they were lacking clinical relevance. The research gap here is that they were not able to predict the motifs effectively which are belonging to multiple motif types. To find out better motif sequences from human GPCR, we explored a hybrid computational model consisting of hybridization of Rough Set with Mean-Shift algorithm. In this paper we made comparison among our resulted output with other techniques such as fuzzy C-means (FCM), FCM with spectral clustering and we concluded that our proposed method targeted well on CRAC region in comparison to CARC region which have higher biological relevance in medicine industry and drug discovery.

Cross-lingual plagiarism occurs when the source or original text is in one language and the plagiarized or re-used text is in another language. Various methods for automatic text re-use detection across languages have been developed whose objective is to assist human experts in analyzing documents for plagiarism cases. For evaluating the performance of these systems and algorithms, standard evaluation resources are needed. To construct cross lingual plagiarism detection corpora, the majority of earlier studies have paid attention to English and other European language pairs, and have less focused on low resource languages. In this paper, we investigate a method for constructing an English-Persian cross-language plagiarism detection corpus based on parallel bilingual sentences that artificially generate passages with various degrees of paraphrasing. The plagiarized passages are inserted into topically related English and Persian Wikipedia articles in order to have more realistic text documents. The proposed approach can be applied to other less-resourced languages. In order to evaluate the compiled corpus, both intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation methods were employed. So, the compiled corpus can be suitably included into an evaluation framework for assessing cross-language plagiarism detection systems. Our proposed corpus is free and publicly available for research purposes. Manuscript profile -

Sensors usually possess low-energy and non-rechargeable batteries since these sensors are often applied in places and applications that cannot be recharged. The most important objective of the present study is to minimize the energy consumption of sensors and increase the IoT network's lifetime by applying multi-objective optimization algorithms when selecting cluster heads and routing between cluster heads for transferring data to the base station. In the present article, after distributing the sensor nodes in the network, the type-2 fuzzy algorithm has been employed to select the cluster heads and also the genetic algorithm has been used to create a tree between the cluster heads and base station. After selecting the cluster heads, the normal nodes become cluster members and send their data to the cluster head. After collecting and aggregating the data by the cluster heads, the data is transferred to the base station from the path specified by the genetic algorithm. The proposed algorithm was implemented with MATLAB simulator and compared with LEACH, MB-CBCCP, and DCABGA protocols, the simulation results indicate the better performance of the proposed algorithm in different environments compared to the mentioned protocols. Due to the limited energy in the sensor-based IoT and the fact that they cannot be recharged in most applications, the use of multi-objective optimization algorithms in the design and implementation of routing and clustering algorithms has a significant impact on the increase in the lifetime of these networks.

The IOT, through the internet provides the connection between the defined objects in apprehending and supervising the environment. In some applications, the IOT is converted into WSN with the same descriptions and limitations. Working with WSN is limited to energy, memory and computational ability of the sensor nodes. This makes the energy consumption to be wise if protection of network reliability is sought. The newly developed and effective hierarchical and clustering techniques are to overcome these limitations. The method proposed in this article, regarding energy consumption reduction is tree-based hierarchical technique, used clustering based on dynamic structure. In this method, the location-based and time-based properties of the sensor nodes are applied leading to provision of a greedy method as to form the subtree leaves. The rest of the tree structure up to the root, would be formed by applying the centrality concept in the network theory by the base station. The simulation reveals that the scalability and fairness parameter in energy consumption compare to the similar method has improved, thus, prolonged network lifetime and reliability.

First, the initial features are extracted using VGG-16, which consists of 5 convolutions, each step is connected to a pooling layer. For edge detection of the image, it is necessary to extract information of different levels from each layer to the pixel space of the edge, and then re-extract the feature, and perform sampling. The attributes are mapped to the pixel space of the edge and a threshold extractor of the edges. It is then compared with a background model. Using background subtraction, foreground objects are detected. The Gaussian mixture model is used to detect the vehicle. This method is performed on three videos, and compared with other methods; the results show higher accuracy. Therefore, the proposed method is stable against sharpness, light, and traffic. Moreover, to improve the detection accuracy of the vehicle, shadow removal conducted, which uses a combination of color and contour features to identify the shadow. For this purpose, the moving target is extracted, and the connected domain is marked to be compared with the background. The moving target contour is extracted, and the direction of the shadow is checked according to the contour trend to obtain shadow points and remove these points. The results show that the proposed method is very resistant to changes in light, high-traffic environments, and the presence of shadows, and has the best performance compared to the current methods.

Despite great advances in recent years, tracking remains challenging due to many factors including occlusion, scale variation, etc. The mistake detecting of head or left hand instead of right hand in overlapping are, modes like this, and due to the uncertainty of the hand area over the deaf news video frames; we proposed two methods: first, tracking using particle filter and second tracking using the idea of the rough set theory in granular information with deep neural network. We proposed the method for Combination the Rough Set with Deep Neural Network and used for in Hand/Head Tracking in Video Signal DeafNews. We develop a tracking system for Deaf News. We used rough set theory to increase the accuracy of skin segmentation in video signal. Using deep neural network, we extracted inherent relationships available in the frame pixels and generalized the achieved features to tracking. The system proposed is tested on the 33 of Deaf News with 100 different words and 1927 video files for words then recall, MOTA and MOTP values are obtained. Manuscript profile -

Because this problem might interfere with your own learning, work, and communication with others, it could be controlled by early diagnosis and treatment. Because the automatic recognition and classification of electroencephalography (EEG) signals is challenging due to the large variation in time features and signal frequency, the present study attempts to provide an efficient method for diagnosing hyperactive patients. The proposed method is that first, the recorded brain signals of hyperactive subjects are read from the input and in order to the signals to be converted from time range to frequency range, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used. Also, to select an effective feature to check hyperactive subjects from healthy ones, the peak frequency (PF) is applied. Then, to select the features, principal component analysis and without principal component analysis will be used. In the final step, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) will be utilized to calculate the recognition rate of individuals with hyperactivity. For model efficiency, this model is compared to the models of K- nearest neighbors (KNN), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The results show that the best method is to use feature selection by principal component analysis and classification of CNNs and the recognition rate of individuals with ADHD from healthy ones is equal to 91%.

Therefore, companies spend a significant amount of money each year on ICT, while not being sure that they will get a good result. The purpose of this study is to identify the dimensions and indicators of ICT performance evaluation and suggesting a model for assessing it in organizations. This research is mainly a qualitative study with a meta-synthesis approach which uses the seven-stage qualitative method of Sandelowski and Barroso to systematically review the literature to find sub-indices (codes), indices (themes) and dimensions (categories) of ICT performance evaluation. The search of scientific databases with appropriate keywords found 516 articles, among them, 89 articles were chosen finally and used for analysis. Moreover, a questionnaire has been designed and answered by ICT experts and managers to determine the importance of each of the indicators of the model. Based on data analysis, the proposed ICT performance evaluation model has three dimensions: strategic, quality, and sustainability. The strategic dimension includes indicators of organization strategy, IT strategy, and alignment. The quality dimension includes maturity, and performance indicators; and finally, the sustainability dimension includes environmental, economic, and social indicators. For each of these indicators detailed list of sub-indices (104), which are substantial for evaluation of ICT performance in organizations, were identified and explained. Manuscript profile
