Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is used to discover the MAC address of the connected hosts in Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) in a networked environment. Neighbor Cache Entry (NCE) table holds the association between a host’s IP address and MAC address. However, according to the protocol, the MAC address could be overwritten by sending a…

Music Emotion Recognition (MER) is a study to recognize emotion in a music or song. MER is still challenging in the music world since recognizing emotion in music is affected by several features; audio is one of them. This paper uses a deep learning approach for MER, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Convolutional Recurrent…

The article substantiates the relevance of conducting research on the structural characteristics of a company’s employee knowledge, which is the result of his mental activity and his practical experience. The conditions under which information becomes a source of employee knowledge are determined. An abstract analysis of the process of transforming knowledge into an intellectual product…

Forecasting food prices play an important role in livestock and agriculture to maximize profits and minimizing risks. An accurate food price prediction model can help the government which leads to optimization of resource allocation. This paper uses ridge regression as an approach for forecasting with many predictors that are related to the target variable. Ridge…

The ecosystems and landscape patterns in Lake Victoria basin are increasingly being modified by changes in land use/land cover. Understanding dynamics of these changes is essential for appropriate planning. This study evaluated changes in landscape environment, of the lakeside counties of the Kenyan Lake Victoria basin, which have occurred over a forty-year period (1978-2018) and…

This paper addresses the quality of private healthcare services in the western region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and provides a comprehensive analysis of the customer requirement to improve the quality of these services. The study begins by reviewing literature on the subject of quality in general and then in terms of the…

This article aims at comparing two controls to follow the maximum power point, making use of DC-DC converters for PV uses. All transformers operate continuously. To fulfil maximum power, we will exploit two MPPT controls: a traditional perturb – observe ‘P&O’ and a smart one – the fuzzy logic ‘FL’. The goal of this article…

The Public Administration is forced to transform itself by taking advantage of the contribution of ICT to in the process of reducing bureaucracy and increase transparency, promoting the dematerialization of processes, increasing the quality of online services, allowing greater ubiquity of access, reducing response times, in the search for improvement of the quality of life…

In this article supervised classification methods for the analysis of local Panamanian rice crops using Near-Infrared (NIR) spectral signatures are assessed. Neural network ( Multilayer Perceptron-MLP) and Tree based (Decision Trees-DT and Random Forest-RF) algorithms are used as regression and supervised classification of the spectral signatures by rice varieties, against other crops and by plant…

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology has the potential to improve the learning experience of students in the classroom. This article addresses some of the key theoretical areas identified in the pursuit of implementing a speech recognition system, capable of lesson summary generation in the educational setting. The article discusses: some of the applica- tions of…

Fresh water is already scarce in the world, especially in the Middle East (ME). Desalination industry is the main supplier of the potable water to the municipalities in the ME region. It is well known the high cost of a liter of water produced by the desalination process. Unfortunately, car-washing service consumes substantial amount of…

This review was conducted in the SCOPUS database and focused on the following as the main topics: 1. Financial aspects, 2. Repositories, 3. Education, 4. Academic community’s perception of OA resources, 5. Tools, 6.…

South Africa is aiming to achieve a generation capacity of about 11.4GW through wind energy systems, which will contribute nearly 15.1% of the country’s energy mix by 2030. Wind energy is one of the principal renewable energy determinations by the South African government, owing to affluent heavy winds in vast and remote coastal areas. In…

To this extent, the delineation of techno-economic evaluations for transformers becomes more intricate through a lens of Distributed Solar Photovoltaic (DSPV) market in South Africa. Essentially, the transformer price and loss evaluation techniques should be tailored for calculating the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) of transformers facilitating decentralized energy systems. In South Africa, the traditional coal…

Vehicle number plate detection and recognition is an integral part of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) as every vehicle has a number plate as part of its identity. The quantity of vehicles on road is growing in the modern age, so numerous crimes are also increasing day by day. Almost every day the news of…

The security of website application has become important in the last decades. According to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), the SQL Injection is classified as one of the major vulnerabilities found in web application security. This research is focused on improving website security in dealing with SQL Injection attacks by stopping, monitoring, and…

Biodiesel was produced from lard using a CaO catalyst derived from eggshells. The effects of catalyst loading and transesterification reaction time were investigated. The results revealed that the increase in yield of biodiesel occurred at all catalyst loading when the reaction time was increased. The optimal reaction time was obtained at 60 minutes. The results…

This study has two objectives: to determine the level of readiness of first-year undergraduate students at the Universitas Indonesia (UI) and to investigate student’s perception of MPKT (Integrated Character Development course) lecturers’ readiness to manage online learning class. Proportional cluster sampling was applied, and 1466 freshmen from thirteen faculties participated. Data clustering and imputation of…

The web documents are automatically interacting to discover the information by web mining, which is one of the applications of Cloud Computing (CC) technologies. These documents may be in the form of structured, semi-structured, or unstructured formats. In current web technologies, the Semantic Web is an extension for better enabling the people and computers to…

Worldwide, the epidemiological situation is constantly changing and with the exponential increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, the number of health care workers has decreased significantly and this is due to the direct and daily contact of patients. One of the major challenges of the last few months is to prevent the spread…

Rated a high-risk cyber-attack type, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) has become a cause for concern to cyber security experts. Detecting the presence of APT in order to mitigate this attack has been a major challenge as successful attacks to large organizations still abound. Our approach combines static rule anomaly detection through pattern recognition and machine…

This paper aims to measure the acceptance level of Indonesian customers to JD.ID X retail and to reveal the driving factors of behavioral intention to shop at the retail.
