The latest trends in technology ensure better surveillance which could not be possible ever before. Drones with attached cameras also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are one of the example used in surveillance operations. These camera mounted spies have the ability to capture real-time video of targeted areas in the monitored zone and stream the captured video to the location where all activities are observed by the administrative body. This setup provides the platform of taking prompt action in time if required. To enhance the efficiency of UAVs in a surveillance framework, it is very essential to understand the circumstances where the video-streaming capacity of UAVs are affected. In this paper, we propose a UAV-based surveillance architecture over 4G-LTE Network and we try to explore the fact that how variation in transmitting channel effects the video streaming capacity of UAVs. For this purpose, we take advantage of the physical layer attribute Reference Signal Receive Power (RSRP) which is used to measure the channel strength of wireless link at UAVs. This cross-layer information is helpful in upgrading the performance of the upper layer application used for surveillance purposes. For simulation, we have selected NS-3 which is the most trusted network simulator in the research community. Simulation results prove that variation in the channel has a direct link with the transmitting capacity of UAVs.","PeriodicalId":351104,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121860132","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 proposed algorithm is an extension of Spearman correlation analysis to extract linear or nonlinear information of projections through pairwise correlation analysis. These multi-dimensional informative projections used as common patterns in pattern recognition application. The proposed algorithm extends SCA through linear algebraic solution for the optimization problem, the problem of dual representation of high multi-dimensional data, and structural dilemma issues along with deep learning model. Additionally, the proposed method decreases the quadratic algorithm complexity among linear and non-linear data through Spearman rank ability. The demonstration of proposed approached performs on two-bench mark data set: Face96 and Yale Face Database.","PeriodicalId":351104,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123953288","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 efforts have been done in past to explore trade, however we argue that our online educational tool has some new and innovative ways to explore trade. Geographic web servers, online web applications and certain wikis display massive sets of data, but usually in the form of tables or textual data such as in CIA World Factbook, Wikipedia etc. We still cannot overlook the significance of tables or textual format as they are the elementary form of data representation from ages. However, upcoming visualization libraries like D3 and emerging trends in map visualization allow us to visualize this tabular data in an evocative way on maps. This is the motivation behind this research paper and online tool. Based on the data taken from Factbook, Wikipedia our tool provides interactive trade visualizations for countries of the world, more specifically for 193 UN countries. These visualizations on one hand provide a summary of facts using maps whereas on other hand they provide an in depth knowledge about exports and imports among countries of the world. We claim that our efforts are unique in many respects and our ideas are worth for research community that are interested in different ways of exploring knowledge and data visualization. More precisely our contributions are: i) Meaningful arrangement of countries on web browser that facilitates users to visualize all countries (193 UN countries) simultaneously without scrolling horizontally or vertically. ii) Visualizing export partners of countries using lines and curves that originate from country of interest towards its export partners residing in the same and in different continents iii) Visualizing ranks of countries for more specific information using animations and physical ordering of countries iv) Visualizing percentage of trade among different partners of countries. v) An interactive lab environment that allows user to select a trade item (a commodity such as carpet, fish, agricultural products, alloys etc) and countries are highlighted that export these commodities on the map. vi) A visual comparison illustrating the difference between import and export partners and identification of countries that are both export and import partners using different visual heuristics. We have developed 3D visualizations representing the globe and map views which allow users to explore trade between countries. These visualizations represent numerous ways of selecting trade partners.","PeriodicalId":351104,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies (ICICT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127764925","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}

Using quantitative research design, data from 212 born global SMEs in Malaysia was analyzed. Findings revealed significant relationship of psychological capital with sustained competitive advantage and partial mediation of transformational leadership in this regard.
