Abstract: In smart phone field, the security, tracking lost and kidnapping prevention are one of the main areas in current days. Today family members safety is more important when they are outside home. So, there is a need for a tracking system for kids where the parents can monitor their kids at anytime from anywhere. These security goals are achieved by the Android System, Global System for Mobile (GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS) and Short Message Service (SMS) technologies. The proposed application must be installed in all family member's smart phones, and these smart phones will use GPS services without need for internet connection, where the GPS is used to locate the child specifically and to track the child whenever he changes his place. The location obtained by only depending on GSM by sending SMS which contain a link of Google map shows the information of the position. The application also has the ability to trigger a help SMS to his parents when the child is in a dangerous situation by using his headphone, and this is considering a help message in real time.

HPPD: A Hybrid Parallel Framework of Partition-based and Density-based Clustering Algorithms in Data Streams
Ammar Abd Alazeez (المؤلف)
May 2020 ,Pages 67-82

Abstract: Data stream clustering refers to the process of grouping continuously arriving new data chunks into continuously changing groups to enable dynamic analysis of segmentation patterns. However, the main attention of research on clustering methods till now has been concerned with alteration of the methods updated for static datasets and changes of the available modified methods. Such methods presented only one type of final output clusters, i.e. convex or non-convex shape clusters. This paper presents a novel two-phase parallel hybrid clustering (HPPD) algorithm that identify convex and non-convex groups in online stage and mixed groups in offline stage from data stream. In this work, we first receive the data stream and apply pre-processing step to identify convex and non-convex clusters. Secondly, apply modified EINCKM to present online output convex clusters and modified EDDS to present online output non-convex clusters in parallel scheme. Thirdly, apply adaptive merging strategy in offline stage to give last composed output groups. The method is assessed on a synthetic dataset. The output results of the experiments have authenticate the activeness and effectiveness of the method.

Studying the Coefficient Curvelet for Aerial Image Segmentation
Nagham Sultan، Khalil Alsaif (المؤلف)
May 2020 ,Pages 83-95

Abstract: Currently, there are many approaches for image transformations that are developed to cover the new technology in the huge amount of data treatment. In this paper, a study on Curvelet transformation coefficients was performed based on the aerial image to apply segmentation. This paper applies a lot of modifications on cut off frequencies on the filters, which is used to decompose the image on curvelet transformation. Two approaches are proposed and tested to look for the best segmentation result; the first one is based on designing filters manually, while the second evaluates the filter coefficients depending on the selected shape of the filters. The first technique gives acceptable segmentation and the second reaches the optimal result. One of the most important results is that the cut of frequency has a high effect on the segmentation; in addition, choosing filter parameters depended on the coefficients dimension of the curvelet transformation. Finally, the results show that the first approach underperformed the second one.

Abstract: Scientific research is currently considered as one of the key factors in the development of our life. It plays a significant role in managing our business, study, and work in a more flexible and convenient way. The most important aspect when it comes to scientific research is the level of collaboration among scientific researchers. This level should be maximized as much as possible in order to obtain more reliable solutions for our everyday issues. To this end, it is needed to understand the collaboration patterns among researchers and come up with convenient strategies for strengthening the scientific collaboration. The scientific collaboration among the University of Mosul researchers–which is our case in this study–has not yet been investigated or analyzed. In this work, we aim at revealing the patterns of the scientific collaboration of the scientific colleges in the University of Mosul. We generate a co-authorship network for the university; the generated network is based on the data we collected from each individual researcher. The generated co-authorship network reveals many interesting facts regarding the collaboration patterns among the university researchers.

May 2020 ,Pages 135-147

Abstract: The different types of white blood cells equips us an important data for diagnosing and identifying of many diseases. The automation of this task can save time and avoid errors in the identification process. In this paper, we explore whether using shape features of nucleus is sufficient to classify white blood cells or not. According to this, an automatic system is implemented that is able to identify and analyze White Blood Cells (WBCs) into five categories (Basophil, Eosinophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, and Neutrophil). Four steps are required for such a system; the first step represents the segmentation of the cell images and the second step involves the scanning of each segmented image to prepare its dataset. Extracting the shapes and textures from scanned image are performed in the third step. Finally, different machine learning algorithms such as (K* classifier, Additive Regression, Bagging, Input Mapped Classifier, or Decision Table) is separately applied to the extracted (shapes and textures) to obtain the results. Each algorithm results are compared to select the best one according to different criteria’s.
