The unavailability of complete minutiae information, poor quality of impressions, and overlapping of multi-impressions make the latent fingerprint recognition process a challenging task. Although the contributions in the field are efficient for determining the match, there is a requirement to ameliorate the existing techniques as false identification can put the benign behind bars. This research work has amalgamated the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for the recognition of latent fingerprints. It reduces the demerits of the individual cuckoo search algorithm, such as the probability of falling into local optima, the inefficient creation of nests at the boundary due to random walk and Levy flight attributes. The positive feedback mechanism of ant colony optimization makes it easy to combine with other techniques, reducing the risk of local failure and evaluating the global best solution. Prior to the evaluation of the proposed amalgamated technique on the latent fingerprint dataset of NIST SD-27, it is tested with the benchmark functions for different shapes and physical attributes. The benchmark testing and latent fingerprint evaluation result in the betterment of the amalgamated technique over the individual cuckoo search algorithm. The state-of-the-art comparison indicates that the amalgamation technique outperformed the other fingerprint matching techniques.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J. Inf.

However, UHC principles have been observed to be hindered by several barriers. Moreover, the UNSDGs, and in particular the UNSDG 3, demands “Good Health and Well Being” with the two key indicators UNSDG 3.8.1 and 3.8.2 that can be considered as metrics to assess governance conformance to palliative care. This paper reports on addressing the current research gap in linking the UHC principles to UNSDGs and, in particular, UNSDG3 and the WHO identified Palliative Care Barriers (PCB) using the i* framework Strategic Dependency (SD) and Strategic Rationale (SR) models applied to Home Healthcare Care (HHC) of a regional cancer care organisation, namely King Hussain Cancer Center (KHCC). Building on our i* HHC SD and SR developed models, and for HHC being an essential and critical part of palliative care, an integrated framework has been developed that not only links UHC principles and WHO barriers of palliative care to UNSDG 3, but a full network of dependencies that facilitates observing the linkages and impact of the most critical and strategic actors in HHC on the UHC, barriers to palliative care and UNSDG 3. Furthermore, such highly comprehensive UHC-PCB-UNSDG-i* framework network instantiations have led to identifying patterns of categories or groups of associations between UNSDG3 KPIs, UHC principles, WHO palliative care barriers and HHC actors. Hence, this contributes to healthcare policy and decision makers to revisit their policies, plans, budgets, and constraints for the deficiencies in the qualitative satisfaction of the universal health coverage principles and how palliative care barriers can be alleviated in association with the actors in the i* SD and SR models and associated goals, tasks and resources. A further corollary of this research is that change impact analysis can be timely attained to study the impact of a change driven by updating goals, tasks, and resources of the i* model to improve adherence to the UNSDG3 KPIS and UHC principles. Finally, this work has inspired work in progress to develop a data analytics platform from the evolving instances of applying palliative care processes using the resultant UHC-PCB-UNSDG-i* framework","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The several transmitting antennas from a base station can transmit different signals and several receiving antennas from a device can receive and divide them simultaneously. Due to the physically difficult of installing antennas close to each other, standard MIMO networks generally limit four antenna-side transmitters and receivers for data transmission while it could be more. The study aims to review the traditional MIMO different types as well as investigates the SNR between Single Input Single Output (SISO) and MIMO to ensure the best wireless connection functionality. In addition to that, a simple comparison to distinguish between SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO in term of capacity and data rate to provide an indication for the quality of the wireless connection. The work's contribution is to illustrate technological benefits like MIMO, which boosts data speeds and increases the reliability of wireless networks. The outcome shows a SISO system would have a lower data rate than other systems because it only has one antenna at the transmitter and receiver, whereas a MISO system would typically have a greater Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) than a SISO or SIMO system because it uses several transmit antennas. MIMO, however, took advantage of all the positive characteristics and emerged as the best solution overall.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J. Inf.

Email has already become a valuable way of communicating because it saves time and effort. However, numerous emails contain unwelcome content known as spam as a result of social platforms and advertisements. Despite the fact that many techniques have already been created for spam mails categorization, none of them achieves 100 percent efficiency in analyzing spam messages. So, in this research, we propose a novel Gradient Fuzzy Guideline-based Spam Classifier (GFGSC) for classifying the spam e-mails as spam or non-spam. This research uses four types of datasets and these datasets are pre-processed using normalization. Then the set of data can be extracted using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) techniques. The aspects are selected using Information Gain (IG) and Chi-Square (ChS) techniques. And the GFGSC classifier can be used for classifying the data as spam or non-spam with better effectiveness. Finally, the performances are examined and these metrics are matched with the existing approaches. The results are obtained using the MATLAB tool.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int.

There are several drugs to cure malaria but it is difficult to detect due to inadequate equipment and technology. Microscopic check-ups of blood smear images by experts help to detect malaria-infected parasites accurately. However, manual analysis is tedious and time-consuming as the experts have to deal with many cases. This paper presents computer assisted malaria parasite detection model by classifying the blood smear image with hybrid deep learning methods that have high accuracy for classification. In the proposed approach the blood smear images are pre-processed using bilateral filtering technique in which features are extracted with the convolutional neural network. These features are selected by the improved grey-wolf optimization, and image classification is performed with the support vector machine. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed technique, the NIH malaria dataset is utilized and the results are compared with existing approaches in terms of accuracy, F-Measure, recall, precision, and specificity. The outcome reveals that the proposed scheme is accurate and can be more helpful to pathologists for reliable parasite detection.","PeriodicalId":13624,"journal":{"name":"Int. Arab J. Inf.
