This research aimed at developing a method of glaze material making from used glass bottle waste combined with kaolin. Then, the microstructure and hardness level of glaze products were characterized. Furnace heaters were used in research to heat glaze material by varying the holding time of 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The composition of glaze…

Software is the primary and indispensable entity in our technologically driven world. Therefore, quality assurance, and in particular software testing, represents a vital component in the software development cycle. Throughout the years, many tools have been developed to collect metrics of software that had been implemented. These tools have some differences but continue to play…

This paper presents the setup of eye tracking calibration methodology and the preliminary test results of the training model from the eye tracking data. Eye tracking requires good accuracy from the calibration process of the human eyes feature extraction from facial region. Viola-Jones algorithm is applied for this purpose by using Haar Basic feature filters…

In advanced technologies nodes, starting from 28 nm to 7 nm and below, the power consumed of integrated circuits (ICs) becomes a big concern. Consequently, actual electronic design automation (EDA) tools are facing many challenges to have low power, reduced area and keep having required performance. To reach required success criteria, and because each picosecond…

Fingerprint data is really protected by cancelable fingerprint template because it can be revoked when compromise and a new one can be reissued. We develop a touchless cancelable fingerprint template whose algorithm was published in our previous work. We implement here the algorithm and conducted several tests on several databases to confirm the stability of…

The diversity of manuscripts according to their contents, forms, organizations and presentations provides a data-rich structures. The aim is to disseminate this cultural heritage in the images format to the general public via digital libraries. However, handwriting is an obstacle to text recognition algorithms in images, especially cursive writing of Arabic calligraphy. Most current search…

Problem statement: In general, the water hyacinth is a biennial aquatic plant for many seasons with propagated quickly to become serious weeds in general water sources. The water hyacinth is caused carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a greenhouse effect, which leads to climate change, the environmental concerns of the world today. The agricultural residue…

Person recognition using thermal imaging, multi-biometric traits, with groups of feature filters and classifiers, is the subject of this paper. These were used to tackle the problems of biometric systems, such as a change in illumination and spoof attacks. Using a combination of, hard and soft-biometric, attributes in thermal facial images. The hard-biometric trait, of…

Source parameters of tsunami waves are an essential part of any modern tsunami warning system. Recalculation of a measured time series (wave profile obtained by a seabed-based pressure sensor) in terms of initial sea surface displacement at tsunami source is among the most (or) one of the promising approaches to be applied in a warning…

The IEEE802.11n based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have been extensively deployed due to the flexible coverage, the easy installation, and the lower cost. To reduce the energy consumption while increasing the performance, the elastic WLAN system has been studied, such that it can dynamically change the network configuration according to traffic demands. As well,…

This paper examines application of linear general model predictive control (LGMPC). The stability of the LGMPC is proven by means of a demonstration of a theorem stating a sufficient and constructive condition. Lower bounds conditions are found for one of these matrices and then a system with saturation is taken into consideration. The conditions can…

Thermo-acoustic technology is very potential to be applied to convert heat into another energy source. The complete thermoacoustic engine construction requires a resonator connected to a core where there is a heat exchanger. The thermoacoustic core has a function as an acoustic power generator while the resonator functions as a storage of acoustic power which…

TransJakarta is one of the methods to reduce congestion in Jakarta. However, the number of TransJakarta users compared to number of private vehicle users is very small, only 24% of the total population in Jakarta. The purpose of this research is to know public opinions about TransJakarta whether positive or negative by doing sentiment analysis…

Data mining is recognized as an effective technique for extracting and retrieving valuable information or decision from the vast available data. Because of the nature of the functionality of medical centers and hospitals, their data centers contain a collection of valuable information about their patients. By properly processing these data, different applications can be developed…

The purpose of this research is to develop an android application named “TANYA MEOW” which can be used by cat owners to detect the diseases that their cats suffer based on visible symptoms. The cat owners need to answer questionnaire to detect what disease is suffering by their cat. The result of the disease is…

The demand for renewable energy sources such as waste pyrolysis plastic oil (WPPO), ethanol biofuel with high oxygen content is increasing globally. This study used blending of conventional diesel oil, waste plastic pyrolysis oil, ethanol and 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN) as additive. The purpose was to improve combustion, the ignition quality, and performance and emission…

We present findings on classifying the class of executable code using convolutional, re- current neural networks by creating images from only the .text section of executables and dividing them into standard-size windows, using minimal preprocessing. We achieve up to 98.24% testing accuracy on classifying 9 types of malware, and 99.50% testing accuracy on classifying malicious…

In this paper, we present a new Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE) scheme using computation over complex numbers. We then use Bootstrapping technique to make the scheme Fully Homomorphic (FH) and supports unbounded number of circuit depth. In addition to its homomorphic properties and security level, a main characteristic of the proposed new scheme is its…

Current work demonstrates how open-source optimization library ”Extremum” (OSOL Extremum) can be used to build feedback controller of a satellite. Proposed software was developed to as an attempt to eliminate current problems that are present in scientific area: black-box effect (i.e. there is no opportunity to explore source code, modify it, or simply verify), no…

The problem of recognizing traffic sign boards in a correct fashion is one of the major challenges since there is an alarming rate of increase in the number of road accidents happening because of incorrect interpretation of traffic sign boards in bad weather conditions. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various noise removal techniques…

The integrating model becomes one of key trends in engineering design. The more the product has functional specifications, the more the industrial consumer apply in many fields.

Recommender Systems (RSs) are termed as web-based applications that make use of filtering methods and several machine learning algorithms to suggest relevant user objects. It can be said that some techniques are usually adopted or trained to develop these systems that generate lists of suitable recommendations. Conventionally, RS uses a single rating approach to preference…

The entire electrical system is changing at an abrupt speed since its beginning. With the rapid advance of renewable energies (which are constantly subject to fluctuations), the electricity generation is distributed to countless locations. The traditional model of the unidirectional flow of electricity is leaning towards multidirectional flows. This situation needs significant changes in the…
