Here is presented a model of message processing using one of the leading paradigms in social psychology of persuasion as main theoretical framework: the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM). Adapting this dual process theory to military context and actions and more specifically psychological...

The CSMA/CA protocol is the most widely-compete agreement used by a network. Therefore, MAC layer of cognitive radio networks mostly use the CSMA/CA protocol to provide the competitive channel resources. Due to the unique characteristics and related needs of the cognitive radio networks, design...

This paper proposes a method for achieving a high performance of N200 and P300 classification by applying independent component analysis to select the channels, which deliver brain signals with large N200 and P300 potentials and small artifacts. In this study, the authors find out the...

This paper presents an action guided constraint satisfaction technique for planning problem. Different from the standard algorithms which are almost domain independence and cannot reflect the characteristics of the planning progress, this paper discusses how the action rules in planning act in...

This study was performed to extract rules and factors for reducing body fat mass and to compare Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) and common classifiers to provide necessary steps for the healthcare system. Many researchers have focused on lifestyle-related diseases; however, few have attempted...

A comparison between the probability similarities of a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) dataset and Lévy walks is presented. This effort validates Lévy walks as a model resembling DDoS probability features. In addition, a method, based on the Smirnov transform, for generating synthetic...

Temporal reasoning is one of the cognitive capabilities humans involve in communicating with others and everything appears related because of temporal reference. Therefore, in this paper a geometric dynamic temporal reasoning algorithm is proposed to solve the temporal reasoning problem,...

A new intelligent powered wheelchair is urgently needed for the individuals with tetraplegia and similar impairments who are unable to use the standard joystick. Based on the tongue motion detection, a new control system is introduced in this paper which is helpful for users to operate powered...
