Recently, the field of prosthetics has seen many accomplishments especially with the integration of technological advancements. In this paper, different arm types (robotic, surgical, bionic, prosthetic and static) are analyzed in terms of resistance, usage, flexibility, cost and potential. Most of these techniques have some problems; they are extremely expensive, hard to install and maintain…

These last years, the amount of data generated by information systems has exploded. It is not only the quantities of information that are now estimated in Exabyte, but also the variety of these data which is more and more structurally heterogeneous and the velocity of generation of these data which can be compared in many…

One Time Pad (OTP) is a cryptographic algorithm that is quite easy to be implemented. This algorithm works by converting plaintext and key into decimal then converting into binary number and calculating Exclusive-OR logic. In this paper, the authors try to make the comparison of OTP cryptography using KPI and KCT so that the ciphertext…

This work depicts the preparation of Ni-C ultrafine composite from used engine oil. The used oil was emulsified with detergent loaded with Ni (OH)2. The loaded emulsion was sprayed on electric plasma generated between two C electrodes to a DC main 28 V and 70-80 A. The purged Ni-doped carbon fume was trapped on a…

Flavonoid is one of the bioactive compounds that are currently used in pharmaceutical and medicinal industries due to their health benefit. The focus of current research is mainly on the extraction and isolation of bioactive compounds; however non to date has explored on the identification of flavonoids classes under the Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).…

The increasing impact of services on economic wealth and income in high wage countries calls for a detailed examination of service productivity and complexity in current research projects. This paper describes the development of a measurement model of service productivity and complexity within the domain of medical service provision. While the measurement model of service…

In recent years pattern recognition of power quality (PQ) disturbances in smart grids has developed into crucial topic for system equipments and end-users. Undoubtedly analyzing the PQ disturbances develop and maintain smart grids effectiveness. Voltage sags are the most common events that affect power quality. These faults are also the most costly. This paper represents…

This article presents the instantiation of the Model of Adaptation of Learning Objects (MALO) developed in previous works, using the competencies to be developed in a given educational context. MALO has been developed for virtual environments based on an extension of the LOM standard. The model specifies modularly and independently two categories of rules, of…

A wormhole attack is one of the most critical and challenging security threats for wireless sensor networks because of its nature and ability to perform concealed malicious activities. This paper proposes an innovative wormhole detection scheme to detect wormhole attacks using computational intelligence and an artificial neural network (ANN). Most wormhole detection schemes reported in…

The concept of cloud computing has arisen thanks to academic work in the fields of utility computing, distributed computing, virtualisation, and web services. By using cloud computing, which can be accessed from anywhere, newly-launched businesses can minimise their start-up costs. Among the most important notions when it comes to the construction of cloud computing is…

In this paper, we investigate the performance of channel inversion schemes for interference cancellation with compensation network in multi-user MIMO broadcasting channel. To achieve good performance, mutual coupling between two-element compact arrays is characterized by the receiving mutual impedance method (RMIM) to formulate the compensation network-operating matrix. A prototype of two-element compensation network with an…

The World Health Organization (WHO) report on the circumstances of clinical facilities in developing countries indicates that, there is considerable efficient delivery of medical services to the rural inhabitants where the services are available, these services are very expensive and not affordable to the average citizen. This has risen inadequacies such as prolonged suffering and…
