Dithering or error diffusion is a technique used to obtain a binary image, suitable for printing, from a grayscale one. At each step, the algorithm computes an allowed value of a pixel from a grayscale one, applying a threshold and, therefore, causing a conversion error. To obtain the optical illusion of a continuous tone, the…

A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented to visualize the multipaths generated by COST 2100 channel model (C2CM) and the results of clustering the wireless propagation multipaths using Modified Simultaneous Clustering and Model Selection (MSCAMSMA). The usual practice of authors is to show their data and results using figures, tables, and graphs which are already…

The paper addresses speeding up meetings in a networked environment during rescue works in a transport emergency. Several groups of representatives of various services and observers participate in those meetings. The number of wrong decisions tends to increase because remote participants cannot understand each other quickly. First, the meetings must be efficiently held to avoid…

Sign language is a form of communication language designed to link a deaf-mute person to the world. To express an idea it requires the use of hand gestures and body movement. However, the bulk of the general population remain uneducated to understand the sign language. Therefore, a translator is required to facilitate the communication. This…

This paper describes methods of eliminating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) non-destructively, using Electronic Warfare Methods. The aim is to introduce certain methods of UAV detection and elimination in a complex environment and terrain, e.g., in an urban and battlefield environment, that will result in finding the control device position and the UAV itself. Neural networks,…

In this report, a probe mark discoloration with donut/circle shape was found. The corrosion formed on Aluminum bond pads. The SEM/EDS, TEM/EELS & AES surface techniques were used to identify this corrosion product. All these material analysis results pointed out the role of fluorine to this discoloration. The HAST testing, all the chip samples obtained…

Family functionality is when the family meets the needs of its members, especially adolescents. Resilience is the adolescent’s ability to face situations in which there are difficulties, life problems and thus be able to overcome them. The purpose of the study is to determine the Level of Resilience and Family Functionality in Adolescents of two…

The article describes a way to increase the efficiency of an abrasive tool by its impregnation in an aqueous solution of chromium diiodide. The device scheme for impregnating the instrument is proposed. Research results of durability of tools impregnated with chromium diiodide and structural condition of material of a surface layer of details after processing…

Ultra-high resolution broadcasting such as 4K and 8K are becoming more popular for at-home use. The position of the viewer’s mean gaze point when they are looking at a larger display depends on the video clip, viewing position, and viewing distance. The International Telecommunication Union provided the document BT-2022; as the standard viewing conditions for…

In recent decades, the challenge of managing the development teams spread across different time zones has become increasingly common, raising the importance of the development of Global Software Development (GSD) techniques, in order to tackle its particular problems. This work discuss these issues in the context of Sidia, an R&D institute which implements technological solutions…

A grid is a system that can manage and organize services and resources that spread amongst different control domains, employ interfaces and protocols, and offer a high quality of services. The integration of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) with a grid environment significantly affects grid performance. MAS is considered a suitable solution for open systems that modify…

Accurate machining control is indispensable for the smart factories of tomorrow. Variations in controller responses may cause unacceptable process deviations during machining leading to productivity losses and possible damage. In the present work, a complex order PIα+jβDγ+jθ(COPID) controller was designed to effectively control surface roughness generation while machining CNT Al-Mg hybrid composites. Performance of the…

Mobile wallet is an application that allows users to make online payments using their mobile phones. In the context of an outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic in Vietnam and the world, mobile wallets are considered having many opportunities to change people’s cash spending habits. The current study assesses the factors impact on the intention to use…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in PM2.5 Prediction-based Weather Forecast Information and Missingness Challenges: A Case Study Industrial and Metropolis Areas, which focused on imputation algorithm to solve missingness challenge and demonstrated a basic prediction system to prove the proposed algorithm, II-MPA. Distributed and decentralized systems, recently, have been proven for…
