Due to their chaotic nature, underwater communication channels contain many adverse factors affecting the communication link quality and its performance. These adverse effects directly affect the data transfer between the source and the receiver. Absorption loss, which is one of these adverse factors, depends on depth, temperature, salinity, pH, an...

Melanoma is a malignant and aggressive type of skin cancer. This paper describes an effective method for detection of melanoma. A hybrid classification algorithm was developed by using the SVM algorithm and a heuristic optimization algorithm. In this algorithm, the SVM algorithm which uses a Gaussian Radial Basis Function (RBF) was enhanced by the...

There are no large-scale deployments to navigate the people indoor environments as the GPS for outdoor environments. Though, high accurate rate indoor localization has been considered the potential research areas by both academia and industry in last decade. These indoor localization research studies are divided into two groups in the literature wh...

The number of multi-storey building complex is increasing every day. Nowadays, widely used in the navigation system's position in the open space is provided by Global Positioning Satellite System GNSS. Unfortunately, the direct use of GNSS systems in indoor areas is not possible. Many technologies in the field of indoor location determination (Wire...

Recently, with the increase in mobile and internet accessibility, it has become widespread that smart home systems can be managed remotely and monitored by mobile devices. In this study, a communication protocol between a mobil devices-embedded PC based control unit-sensors/actuators is designed and implemented. A handshaking mechanism between a mo...
