An approach is presented to estimate aboveground biomass (AGB) of the scattered individual Quercus aegilops using very high resolution satellite imagery, WorldView-3 (WV3). First, an in-situ allometric model at tree level was developed, and AGB was estimated using the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH). Next, the allometric relationship between Tree Crown Area (TCA) derived from WV3 data and estimated in-situ AGB was investigated and used in the resulting model to estimate AGB (remote sensing derived). As a result, the developed allometric model in-situ produced a correlation of R2 = 0.99, and the developed allometric model remote sensing produced a correlation of R2 = 0.94. Tree AGB estimated from WV3 data was a good technique with a 1.24 bias and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 80.17. This approach can be used to accurately estimate and map AGB of scattered individual trees.","PeriodicalId":144020,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121395185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the security of secret data has posed a serious threat due to openness of these networks. Thus, researchers draw their attention on cryptography field for this reason. Due to the traditional cryptographic techniques which are vulnerable to intruders nowadays. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) considered as a promising technology for cryptography field due to extraordinary data density and vast parallelism. With the help of the various DNA arithmetic and biological operations are also Blum Blum Shub (BBS) generator, a multi-level of DNA encryption algorithm is proposed here. The algorithm first uses the dynamic key generation to encrypt sensitive information as a first level; second, it uses BBS generator to generate a random DNA sequence; third, the BBS-DNA sequence spliced with a DNA Gen Bank reference to produce a new DNA reference. Then, substitution, permutation, and dynamic key are used to scramble the new DNA reference nucleotides locations. Finally, for further enhanced security, an injective mapping is established to combine encrypted information with encrypted DNA reference using Knight tour movement in Hadamard matrix. The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) tests have been used to test the proposed algorithm. The results of the tests demonstrate that they effectively passed all the randomness tests of NIST which means they can effectively resist attack operations.","PeriodicalId":144020,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117296146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose behind is to investigate the presence of ICI due to the impact of Laser Phase Noise (LPN) and Fiber Non-Linearity (FNL). Thereby, we propose a simple clipping scheme which represents an effective distortion algorithm to decrease the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for 4QAM system. The method exhibits a significant process on ICI cancellation in CO-OFDM system. The OFDM signal is basically transmitted along 550km distance rated at 10Gbps single mode fiber for the coherent optical mode. The new findings show that the receiver sensitivity is highly improved below 10−3 FEC for laser power 5dBm; and archives about 1dBm to 2.4dBm when laser power becomes 8dBm at a typical clipping ratio of 0.6. In particular, the system exhibits a good performance over a 385km transmission distance in comparison to the conventional CO-OFDM. As a result, the proposed clipping shows that the system can enhance its the performance by reducing ICI in the CO-OFDM system; in addition to present a high robustness in BER metric against FNL by a clear reduction in PAPR.","PeriodicalId":144020,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115680223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of Ultrawideband (UWB) communications, CIRs are extracted from measured UWB waveforms using some deconvolution algorithms, where CLEAN deconvolution algorithm is a well-known procedure for this aspect. However, the extraction of UWB CIRs is mostly prone to errors that are shown as artifact paths in the extracted CIRs. These artifact paths are represented as multipath components within the CIRs. In order to obtain more accurate CIRs, the artifact paths need to be eliminated. In this work, an algorithm is developed to remove the generated artifact paths available within UWB CIRs due to CLEAN utilization. The artifact paths removal (APR) algorithm has been developed based on the elliptical modeling concept applied for wideband channels. Results show that the APR algorithm has successfully removed the artifact paths from UWB CIRs. Moreover, a slight enhancement of the received power has been seen due to the removal of these weaker paths.","PeriodicalId":144020,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115284636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison between the proposed modified scheme with the existing schemes besides the original TLSM is presented. The results and comparisons have proven the ability of the proposed scheme in balancing among the three critical properties for any DNA steganography scheme: capacity, payload, and BPN.
