Trust is essential in many interdependent human relationships. Trustworthiness is measured via the effectiveness of the relationships involving human perception. The decision to trust others is often made quickly (even at zero acquaintance). Previous research has shown the significance of voice in perceived trustworthiness. However, the listeners’ characteristics were not considered. A system has yet…

Together with the intensity of development in the field of technology of unmanned platforms and their effective use for solving various tasks of peacetime and war, the requirements for the training of the operator managing the platform also increase. This fully applies to personnel providing the flight of manned means. Nevertheless, there are significant differences…

With the aim of preventing hydro-geological risks and overcoming the problems of current rain gauges, this paper proposes a low-complexity and cost-effective video rain gauge. In particular, in this paper the authors propose a new approach to rainfall classification based on image processing and video matching process employing convolutional neural networks (CNN). The system consists…

Soil moisture is a fundamental factor for smart farming that is used to control the water management system. In this paper, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) small cell (UAV-SC) can provide Internet of things (IoT) as the hotspot mobility network, due to the minimum limitation energy of connected IoT. The development of ground sensor (GS)…

Vectorization is extracting data from strings through Natural Language Processing by using different approaches; one of the best approaches used in vectorization is word2vec. To make the vectorized data secure, we must apply a security method, which will be CryptDB. The paper is analyzing the survey, which is created to interview security engineers through the…

The advent of electric vehicles has changed the face of the automobile industry. The drive system properties of vehicles such as eBikes or electric cars differ fundamentally from those of a diesel engine. The lack of a conventional internal combustion engine has made the vehicles considerably silent. Nevertheless, previously hidden sources of vibration and noise…

Dengue is a viral infection disease transmitted to people through the bite of specific mosquito species living in a tropical zone. According to the World Health Organization, dengue has been listed among the top-ten diseases for 2019 as it makes 3.9 billion people in 128 countries be at risk of infection. One major cause of…

Given ubiquitous digital devices with recording capability, distributed microphone arrays are emerging recording tools for hands-free communications and spontaneous tele-conferencings. However, the analysis of signals recorded with diverse sampling rates, time delays, and qualities by distributed microphone arrays is not straightforward and entails important considerations. The crucial challenges include the unknown/changeable geometry of distributed arrays,…

Malware has always been a big problem for companies, government agencies, and individuals because people still use it as a primary tool to influence networks, applications, and computer operating systems to gain unilateral benefits. Until now, malware detection with heuristic and signature-based methods are still struggling to keep up with the evolution of malware. Machine…

In this paper, the problems of actuator and sensor fault estimation (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) for uncertain nonlinear systems represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are investigated. First, a robust fuzzy adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO) is designed to simultaneously estimate system states and both actuator and sensor faults. Then, using the obtained on-line…

Fraud calls have a serious impact on telecommunications operator revenues. Fraud detection is very important because service providers can feel a significant loss of income. We conducted a fraud research case study on one of the operators that experienced fraud in 2009 and 2018. Call Detail Record (CDR) containing records of customer conversations such as…

An extensive work has been carried out in the field of human transcribe-verification and transcribe-recognition by extensive scholars across the globe from past decades. In order to demeanour immense experiments for considering the performance of the newly intended models and to substantiate the efficacy of the proposed model which is moderately required. This paper monologue…

To have enough information on time can be helpful when companies try to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. An international company that supplies parts for the automotive industry is currently testing its new facilities in Mexico. The relocation of the raw materials and finished goods warehouses were tested using a P-Median model. The operating…

In Peru, approximately since 2013, a necessary change has begun in the importance given to research, science, technology, and technological innovation. Likewise, in 2014, a new University Law was approved that among other aspects also promotes research production in universities. Against this context, the universities begin to improve with more emphasis activities related to research.…
