In this COVID-19 pandemic, it has been registered that children with autism are not learning properly with this virtual modality in Peruvian education. The main objective of this research work is to design a mobile application with augmented reality so that autistic children can improve their cognitive development in their virtual and face-to-face classes, the…

We introduce a sign algorithm based on the normalised least mean square with Hammerstein adaptive filtering using adaptive averaging step-size mechanism, which is derived by the minimised absolute a posteriori squared error. To improve the performance by reducing computational complexity, we suggest an adaptive averaging using energy of errors to update step-size variant. The analysis…

Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT) is proposed in general to look more forward in responding to the demands of the developing educational community, including how students develop and learn and how teachers prepare Learning Objects (LO). The variety of characteristics of students’ abilities in a class has always been a problem that is often faced by…

Vehicle accidents, particularly in small and large urban areas, are rising tremendously day by day worldwide. As a recent research subject in automaton transportation, the subsequent collision has become a vital issue and emergency. Internet of things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have become very popular these days because of their versatility, and…

The textile industry is one of the prioritized industries, because it contributes to the country’s foreign exchange, absorbs a large number of workers, and fulfills the need for national clothing. To increase work efficiency and productivity, the textile industry must use ERP. However, ERP implementation still has a relatively high failure rate. ERP readiness assessment…

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a contactless communication technology based on a radio frequency (RF) field using a base frequency of 13.56 MHz. NFC technology is perfectly designed to exchange data between two devices via simple touch gestures. RFID is the process of identifying an object directly by radio frequency. There are two important components…

This paper presents a new floating-point technology: Bounded Floating Point (BFP) that constrains inexact floating-point values by adding a new field to the standard floating point data structure. This BFP extension to standard floating point identifies the number of significant bits of the representation of an infinitely accurate real value, which standard floating point cannot.…

No other form of technological development had negatively skewed from existing regulations as the siting of petrol filing stations. An audit of the degree to which their operators repeatedly violate the rules regulating their location and operations may encourage the legislature to pass laws that can ensure a balance between the economy and the environment.…

In this paper, hexa spacer damper is proposed and its vibration damping effect on the 765 kV power transmission network under the influence of fluctuating wind (10-60 Hz) loading is validated. This asymmetrical loadings led the bundle of Zebra ACSR conductor to be twisted and hence, cause mechanical and electrical instabilities across the span length.…

The progress of information using websites is developing fast, impacting various sectors, one of which is pharmaceutical companies. Pharmaceutical companies have roles in drug manufacturing, pharmaceutical distribution, and essential services for the community—the most important and challenging activity in the IT department. The researcher is responsible for one of the Bandung pharmaceutical companies. Researchers are…

In the Global sphere, the social, environmental, and economic pillars are the main contributors and accelerators to the sustainable development goals. As a result, the latter creates a platform for interdisciplinary researchers, society and decision-makers to collaborate in formulating ways to minimize factors contributing to environmental concerns. Energy is currently referred to as one of…

There are pressures to adopt sustainable behaviour more so in generating profits and benefiting the society to accelerate green efforts through a green framework. The overarching goal of the paper is premised through various works of literature, building the ecosystem the elements highlighted by most researchers in the field of environmental entrepreneurship. The various models…

Rescuers escorted search dogs into the disaster area, using their unique sense of smell to find the injured. First, researchers summarize the design requirements in the search process from interviews with rescuers, and construct a conceptual prototype to confirm the interaction mode between the user and the dog. User central design invited people melt into…

Sales behavior and the technical development of products influence their fabrication. As market influences become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, factories will have to adapt their manufacturing to market trends even more in the future. Adaptation is referred to as convertibility and can be achieved, among other things, by mobile and intercompatible machines. Enabling machines to…

IoT platforms play an important role on modern measurement systems because they allow the ingestion and processing of huge amounts of data (big data). Given the increasing use of these platforms, it is important to characterize their performance and robustness in real application scenarios. The paper analyzes the ThingSpeak platform by measuring the latencies associated…

“This paper is an extension of work originally presented in the 4th International Conference on Systems of Collaboration, Big Data, Internet of Things & Security -SysCoBIoTS’19”. The use of complex and dynamic systems modelling to social systems is quite recent and its pertinence in the case of an educational system is continually increasing. For the…

This research designed an image encryption system that focused on securing teledermatology data in the form of skin disease images. The encryption and decryption process of this system is done on the client side using chaos-based encryption with confusion and diffusion techniques. Arnold’s cat map is the chaotic map model used for confusion, while the…

The development of wind farms requires an optimal design of wind turbines layout. The main goal of this optimization is to minimize the wake effect through the optimal placement of the wind turbines. The current study aims to standardize the wake losses among all wind turbines in the wind farm and bringing their losses to…

Indoor positioning system (IPS) has become a high demand research field to be developed and has made considerable progress in recent years. Wi-Fi fingerprinting is the most promising technique that produces an acceptable result. However, despite the large amount of research that has been done using Wi-Fi fingerprinting, only a few Wi-Fi based IPS in…

Enrolment figures have been expanding in South African institutions of higher-learning, however, the expansion has not been accompanied by a proportional increase in the percent- age of enrolled learners completing their degrees. In a recent undergraduate-cohort-studies report, the DHET highlight the low percentage of students completing their degrees in the allotted time, having remained between…

For many years, the most popular technique for Internet video streaming is hypertext transfer protocol-based adaptive streaming, known as HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming). However, a seamless viewing experience can not be just simply guaranteed by HAS only. In the management network, the adaptation of HAS copes with a huge challenge since client- driven schemes lead…
