High Performance Antenna System in MIMO Configuration for 5G Wireless Communications Over Sub‐6 GHz Spectrum
No full textThis paper presents a high-performance multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) antenna comprising 2 x 2 configuration of radiating elements that is designed for sub-6 GHz applications. The proposed MIMO antenna employs four identical radiating elements. High isolation between the radiating elements and therefore reduced mutual coupling is achieved by spatially arranging the radiating elements in an orthogonal configuration. Also, a novel frequency selective surface (FSS) was employed to increase the gain of the MIMO antenna over a wide bandwidth from 3 to 6 GHz. This was achieved by locating the FSS above the antenna at a certain height. The FSS essentially enhanced the antenna's directivity, reduced back lobe radiation and mutual coupling. The antenna was fabricated on a standard Rogers RT Duroid 5880 dielectric substrate with a 0.8 mm thickness. The overall dimension of the MIMO antenna is 50 x 50 x 12.5 mm(3) and it operates from 3.8 to 6 GHz, which corresponds to a fractional bandwidth of 41%. The proposed MIMO antenna has a measured peak gain of 4.8 dBi and inter radiation element isolation >20 dB. Its envelope correlation coefficient is <0.1 and diversity gain >9.9 (dB). These characteristics make the proposed MIMO antenna system suitable for 5G communication systems
A feature-centric spam email detection model using diverse supervised machine learning algorithms
No full textAbstract
Purpose – This research study proposes a feature-centric spam email detection model (FSEDM) based on
content, sentiment, semantic, user and spam-lexicon features set. The purpose of this study is to exploit the
role of sentiment features along with other proposed features to evaluate the classification accuracy of
machine learning algorithms for spam email detection.
Design/methodology/approach – Existing studies primarily exploits content-based feature
engineering approach; however, a limited number of features is considered. In this regard, this research
study proposed a feature-centric framework (FSEDM) based on existing and novel features of email
data set, which are extracted after pre-processing. Afterwards, diverse supervised learning techniques
are applied on the proposed features in conjunction with feature selection techniques such as
information gain, gain ratio and Relief-F to rank most prominent features and classify the emails into
spam or ham (not spam).
Findings – Analysis and experimental results indicated that the proposed model with sentiment
analysis is competitive approach for spam email detection. Using the proposed model, deep neural
network applied with sentiment features outperformed other classifiers in terms of classification
accuracy up to 97.2%.
Originality/value – This research is novel in this regard that no previous research focuses on sentiment
analysis in conjunction with other email features for detection of spamemails

The Reflection of Islamic Culture and Beliefs in the Stories of Dr. Akram Osman
No full textThe sacred religion of Islam encompasses its own distinct principles, laws, and worldview, as presented through the Holy Quran, a divine guide for humanity. This guidance shapes the beliefs, actions, and morals of Muslims according to an Islamic perspective. Islam is a comprehensive and complete religion that addresses all aspects of individual, familial, social, economic, political, and cultural life. It provides everything necessary for human guidance and prosperity, as conveyed to humanity by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the savior of mankind, who is the final prophet, and Islam is the ultimate and final religion. In Islamic societies, the responsibility of promoting and conveying Islamic teachings was not limited to religious scholars alone. Muslim poets and writers also undertake this significant mission, using their literary talents in both poetry and prose to inspire individuals and societies with the values and teachings of this sacred religion. The late Dr. Mohammad Akram Osman, a distinguished author from Afghanistan, made remarkable contributions to storytelling that not only enriched the world of literature but also served as a guide for humanity in learning and understanding Islamic culture and beliefs. This article aims to explore the reflection of Islamic culture and beliefs in the stories of Dr. Mohammad Akram Osman, highlighting his ability to intertwine Islamic teachings with literary expression
Neutralisation state driven single-agent search strategy for solving constraint satisfaction problem / Saajid Akram Ahmed Abuluaih
No full textIn the past seven decades, Constraint Satisfaction (CS) has been extensively studied and remarkably evolved to where the scientific community perceives it as the centre of the intelligent behaviour. Therefore, most of the recent research in the field is devoted to improving the problem solvers that utilize search strategies and techniques. Since Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is an NP-complete problem, brute-force search algorithms such as Backtracking algorithm (BT) are required as the guarantee to find a solution, when there is one. Moreover, since the establishment of the field, AI pioneers and specialists have setup instructions and guidelines on how to solve this type of problems back in the seventies of the last century and have not been changed or improved. For example, the framework of solving CSP imposes a complete permutation of assignments to all remaining variables in order to derive a valid model. The author argues in this study that the problem can be neutralised and it is not necessary to perform brute-force searching all the time if a search strategy could have guided the process to the level where the values of the remaining variables can be determined implicitly, creating what the author calls Solo-Path of assignments in the problem search tree
Clinical characteristics of critically ill patients infected with COVID-19 in rasoul akram hospital in Iran: A single center study
No full textBackground: Knowledge about clinical features of critically ill patients with COVID-19 still lacks adequate information up to now. Objectives: We aimed to describe and compare the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Rasoul Akram Hospital. Methods: In this case series, 70 critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted in ICU wards of Rasoul Akram Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 29 February to 25 April 2020 were enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory data, and outcomes of the patients were all collected and compared between deceased and recovered patients. Results: Fifty-six cases had died of COVID-19, and 14 patients had fully recovered and discharged. The median age of the patients was 68 years old, ranging from 22 to 91 years, 66 were men, 80 had one or more comorbidities, and hypertension was the most common comorbidities (45 of deceased cases). The most common signs and symptoms at the onset of illness were SPO2 depression (92) and dyspnea (90). Dyspnea was significantly more common in deceased patients (95) than recovered patients (70) (P = 0.048). Most patients had lymphopenia (80). The number of patients who needed mechanical ventilation in the deceased patients was 53 (95), which was significantly more than the recovered patients (10 70%) (P = 0.048). Conclusions: The mortality rate of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is very high, and the patients with dyspnea and required mechanical ventilation are at higher risk for death. © 2020, Author(s)
Akram Khan, Lloyd Newson, and the Challenges of British Multiculturalism
No full textIn a climate riven by national insecurities, anti-immigration movements and competing visions of a post-Brexit future, this paper examines the contentious space multiculturalism has inhabited in 21st-century British choreography. It analyses acclaimed works by Akram Khan and Lloyd Newson to explore starkly differing perspectives on cultural diversity in the UK. Khan’s contribution to the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony (Abide with Me) emphasised the nation’s post-imperialist and cosmopolitan profile. By contrast, Newson’s contemporaneous work Can We Talk about this? (2011/12) was highly critical of current models of multiculturalism and in particular attitudes towards Islam. This paper compares the two choreographies using a theoretical framework that draws on both political thought and dance analysis, to evaluate their contributions to debates around culture, tolerance and diasporic identities and illustrate the broader entanglement between British dance and contemporary politics.@ 2018, Edinburgh University Press.
