This makes it harder for companies to assess their brand image or digitally market their products on the web. We present a lexicon-based approach to extracting sentiment and emotion from tweets for digital marketing purposes. We collect ten thousand tweets related to ten technology brands: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, GE, IBM, Intel, Facebook, Oracle and HP. We perform sentiment analysis using SentiWordNet while we detect emotions using the NRC Hashtag Emotion Lexicon. We compare and combine the scores obtained from the two lexicons into one result per tweet. We describe the execution process of our experiment and show that the accuracy of the combined approach of sentiment and emotion analysis is enhanced over the independent approaches of sentiment analysis or emotion analysis.","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133700909","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}

Many steganography techniques exist; each has its own advantages and limitations. Capacity, robustness and the overall level of security are among the main factors to assess the performance of steganography algorithms. Also, the level of the stego-image distortion should be acceptable This paper aims at proposing a high capacity and efficient steganography technique, where binary images, color images, and large text files can be all concealed within a single cover image at the same time using Haar Wavelet transform. A high capacity of about 99% has been achieved using the proposed algorithm, with low mean square error (MSE) and high power signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). This algorithm is developed with the aid of MATLAB environment. The obtained results from the proposed algorithm have been promising in terms of efficiency, performance, and capacity.","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123089520","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 development process still reveal on several issues and challenges that need to be carefully addressed in such environment. Privacy, service cost and provisioning delay are identified as the most crucial challenges to be addressed. State of the art includes several proposals to address these issues. In this position paper, we will gather and present a comprehensive study of vehicular cloud computing architecture, applications, and approaches.

The antenna is mounted on a low cost FR-4 substrate with dimensions of 38×60×1.6 mm3, and relative permittivity of 4.4. The original shape of the single antenna element is circular with radius of 11.5 mm, and then a sector is removed from the patch (making it a Pacman-shaped antenna) to improve the impedance bandwidth. The proposed antenna provides an impedance bandwidth between 2.9-15 GHz with better than 10 dB return loss and isolation less than -17 dB. Additionally, the antenna can reject the interferences from WiMAX (3.5 GHz center frequency) and WLAN (5.5 GHz center frequency).","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122494880","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}

We execute statistical analysis on more than 3,000,000, 800,000 and 50,000 comments from Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr, respectively. We classify the principal phase and category of interaction across all three social media platforms. We additionally investigate the major changes in second screen conservations within the social soundtrack across the categories and phases on all three social network platforms. The research results show that phase-category relationship exists for all three social media platforms. The results find the During phase as the predominant one for all three categories on social media platforms, with the exception of Twitter.

Fatigue is a major factor behind on-the-job accidents, absenteeism and lowered productivity. The detection and prediction of fatigue is a technical challenge, confounded by the practical constraints of the working environment. This paper presents a mathematical fatigue model using low cost wearable biosensors, customized for each individual participant. The circadian rhythm mathematical model is the major part of fatigue model core. Heart rate and skin temperature, which are known circadian pacemakers, are used to build the proposed mathematical model. The customization and adaptation of the circadian is expected to improve the fatigue model and make it more accurate in the context of individuality and adaptation to the time of day and the activity at hand. Using low-cost, non-intrusive and portable biosensors allows the model to be tested in real working conditions with minimal impact on the operators. In addition to presenting a mathematical model for the customized circadian, this paper presents some preliminary results from a limited experiment, with some promising results.","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122316106","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}
