Background: Occupational injuries are an issue of huge significance in the United States. After a work injury, health care providers often utilize functional capacity evaluations to determine readiness of a patient to return to work. However, it can be difficult to determine if a patient is providing maximal “effort” during the evaluation. The aim of…

A healthy watershed is important not only for the ecosystem but also for human socioeconomic activities. Therefore, a compatible assessment model is required to recognize watershed health. In Indonesia, the watershed health assessment is directed by the Ministry of Forestry regulation number 60/2014. A critic might be posed to this directive for not including the…

This research aims to investigate the energy and power management of a battery-supercapacitors Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for Electric vehicles (EVs). A bidirectional DC-DC converter, a battery and a set of supercapacitors were employed to construct the parallel semi-active architecture of HESS. Two strategies of Rule-Base Linear Quadratic Regulators (R-B LQRs) were proposed to…

The objective of this article is to highlight the existing relationship between the tourist’s destination brand image of the city of Rabat (Morocco) and its choice by foreign tourists to be visited once again. We suggest a reliable measurement scale able to measure the dimensions and associations of the brand image most memorized by tourists,…

Today, Drowning is the 3rd major cause for unintentional injury death accounting for 7% of deaths of all injury deaths. Drowning is a state of suffocation when water or other fluids accumulate the lungs, resulting in respiratory impairment, ultimately leading to death. The predominant problem during rescue operations of such accidental drowning is to locate…

Virtual reality is a technology that literally allows constructing of a new reality for its users. VR has huge potential, it is able to change social life, communications, and the academic sphere, but VR may also be applied by criminals. In the present paper properties of potentially committed crimes in VR are analyzed. It is…

The learning difficulties of Object-Oriented Programming can be one of the causes of failure in college students, which can even lead to student dropout. This article has the purpose of analyzing the main learning difficulties of object-oriented programming using the Java programming language in Systems Engineering students of the Universidad Nacional Tecnológica de Lima Sur…

Blockchain is a solution to improve data integrity and minimize data manipulation. Blockchain technology can be used in student examination management in universities. The process of managing student examination produces some information that can be stored in a blockchain database such as information about the lecturer as the exam creator, exam proctor, student attendance, student…

Tourism is relatively high profit, low-cost and high work opportunity industry. Medical tourism is special kind of business type in tourism industry. The characteristic of medical tourism is high threshold and high profit for hospital and government. But, fewer literatures research about competitiveness of medical tourism industry until now. Especially, medical tourism industry faces big…

The growing popularity of social media sites has generated a massive amount of data that attracted researchers, decision-makers, and companies to investigate people’s opinions and thoughts in various fields. Sentiment analysis is considered an emerging topic recently. Decision-makers, companies, and service providers as well-considered sentiment analysis as a valuable tool for improvement. This research paper…

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the future of aviation. It is a vast system that provides situational awareness for the aviator and regulator at a very low cost and does so with the aid of multiple disparate systems working closely together and communicating with one another. ADS-B uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS/ GPS)…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic disorder that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar (glucose) in the blood and depends on a combination of risk factors, such as genes and lifestyle. Although certain risk factors such as family history, age, or ethnicity cannot be changed, those related to diet, physical activity, and weight…

Day to day huge medical data have been accumulating for diabetic diseases. The complexity of storing, processing ,analyzing and predicting the data related to diabetics is not so easy for healthcare professionals .The prediction of accurate results also has the limitation due to scale of data increasing worldwide for patients, symptoms and test results .In…

The world is witnessing unprecedented advancements in ICT (Information & Communication Technology) related fields. These advancements are further boosted with the emergence of big data. It goes without saying that big data requires two major operations: storage and processing. The latter is usually provided through High-Performance Computing (HPC) which is delivered through two main venues:…

In this paper we propose an algorithmic approach for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for digital watermarking which outperforms the existing frequency domain techniques in all aspects including security along with the criteria in the neural networks such as conditions embedded, and types of watermarking attack. This research addresses digital watermarking in deep neural networks and…

Forest mapping by remote sensing is a hot topics in forestry. At present, many researchers focus on the research of forest type classification or tree species identification using different machine learning methods and try to improve the accuracy of classification of satellite image. However, forest type classification using deep belief network (DBN) is still limited…

The need to update the news at this time is very important. Journalists have responsibilities as their job. Apart from conveying the correct news to the public, they must also deliver it quickly.

Leachate generated from landfill Indonesia is typical has high salinity and organic matters during the dry season, potentially contaminating water and the environment. An increase in salinity might deteriorate the activity of the microorganisms on the decomposition process. This research aims to study the feasibility of the ozonation technique for treating stabilized leachate. The parameters…

Lime mortar, an age-long building material is primarily popular for its flexibility, the basis of its ability to accommodate masonry deformation, hence durability. However, lime’s characteristic delayed setting/hardening time, low mechanical strength and poor internal cohesion often characterised by volumetric changes have put its use into decline. These shortcomings have therefore relegated relevance of this…

The world has turned in the modern era to reduce peak times for electricity consumption, where the peak times cause excessive load on the electricity grid and power stations. In Egypt air conditioning loads are considered the main contributing reasons for the peak time’s problem due to presence of large unshaded glazed surfaces, which cause…
