ABSTRACT 

In this paper, Investigating SOAP and XML technologies in web service is studied. The reason for using XML technology to transmit data and also the need for application of existing communicative structure in SOAP technology in web pages with WSDL technology are investigated uniquely. And also the need for searchable address giving for web service which is available in UDDI technology and the advantages of using it are explained for programmers. 

KEYWORDS 

XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, OOP, Reliability

ENHANCED SKIN COLOUR CLASSIFIER USING RGB RATIO MODEL

ABSTRACT 

Skin colour detection is frequently been used for searching people, face detection, pornographic filtering and hand tracking. The presence of skin or non-skin in digital image can be determined by manipulating pixels’ colour and/or pixels’ texture. The main problem in skin colour detection is to represent the skin colour distribution model that is invariant or least sensitive to changes in illumination condition. Another problem comes from the fact that many objects in the real world may possess almost similar skin-tone colour such as wood, leather, skin-coloured clothing, hair and sand. Moreover, skin colour is different between races and can be different from a person to another, even with people of the same ethnicity. Finally, skin colour will appear a little different when different types of camera are used to capture the object or scene. The objective in this study is to develop a skin colour classifier based on pixel-based using RGB ratio model. The RGB ratio model is a newly proposed method that belongs under the category of an explicitly defined skin region model. This skin classifier was tested with SIdb dataset and two benchmark datasets; UChile and TDSD datasets to measure classifier performance. The performance of skin classifier was measured based on true positive (TF) and false positive (FP) indicator. This newly proposed model was compared with Kovac, Saleh and Swift models. The experimental results showed that the RGB ratio model outperformed all the other models in term of detection rate. The RGB ratio model is able to reduce FP detection that caused by reddish objects colour as well as be able to detect darkened skin and skin covered by shadow.

ABSTRACT 

The NAC gene family encodes a large family of plant-specific transcription factors with diverse roles in various developmental processes and stress responses in plants. Creation of genome wide prediction tools for NAC proteins will have a significant impact on gene annotation in rice. In the present study, NACSVM, a tool for computational genome-scale prediction of NAC proteins in rice was developed integrating compositional and evolutionary information of NAC proteins. Initially, support vector machine (SVM)- based modules were developed using combinatorial presence of diverse protein features such as traditional amino acid, dipeptide (i+1), tripeptide (i+2), four-parts composition and PSSM and an overall accuracy of 79%, 93%, 93%, 79% and 100% respectively was achieved. Later, two hybrid modules were developed based on amino acid, dipeptide and tripeptide composition, through which an overall accuracy of 83% and 79% was achieved. NACSVM was also evaluated using position-specific iterated – basic local alignment search tool which resulted in a lower accuracy of 50%. In order to benchmark NACSVM , the tool was evaluated using independent data test and cross validation methods. The different statistical analyses carried out revealed that the proposed algorithm is an useful tool for annotating NAC proteins in genome of rice.
