Interpolation tools are used daily in hydrology and climatology. With the purpose to regionalize spot´s registration parameters, such as depth of precipitation, temperature, humidity, among others. The accuracy of these methods is not fully validated. This research presents a comparative study between the most used interpolation methods for the regionalization of hydrological and climatological parameters.…

In 1980, an application was developed to track, manage and store documents in electronic format. Scan technology has enabled organizations to digitize papers for easier document storage and tracking. Document management tools have since developed by introducing new functionalities, related to security, users services, workflow and audit. Our research is part of the context of…

Atmospheric pressure plasma was used to treat polypropylene (PP) surfaces. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used to determine the chemical species formed in the plasma as well as the electron temperature and density of the plasma. The flux of species (O and OH) produced during the plasma treatment interact with the polymer surface creating polar…

The filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) technique is being considered as the major candidates for the 5G schemes. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is used in 4G but it has drawbacks such as higher Out-of-Band (OOB) power reduction, and higher peak to average power ratio (PAPR). OFDM uses cyclic prefix (CP) extension to overcome…

The apple tree (Malus domestica) is an agricultural species of great importance in Morocco. Currently, it occupies about a quarter of the surface of fruit-bearing rosaceae. Apple tree production has evolved rapidly, stimulated by a buoyant market, a varietal range which is tending to diversify and a dynamic profession. The present study aims to determine…

Advances in channel modeling allow wireless communication designers to accurately model and understand the channel’s phenomena within different propagation scenarios. A precise channel model results in the wireless system’s optimized performance while considering trade-offs due to the effects of the channel. The geometric-based stochastic channel model considers different interacting objects affecting the parameters using the…

The population living in the residential area in two villages, including Pohuwato village and Pohuwato Timur village, are mostly fishermen, who live under the poverty line, meaning that the people there have low income. The objective of the present study was to explore the living condition in terms of the physical, social, and economic aspects…

SMEs usually succeed in today market since they achieve unique things in the business market. Therefore, SMEs look to keep their business benefit by avoiding any regulation conducted of software. Executed software packaged at SMEs consequently provides obstacle concerning to misfits between software services process and SMEs business process. Hence software analysts’ skills are a…
