This paper builds on the realization that since mobile devices have become a common tool for researchers to collect, process, and analyze large quantities of data, we are now entering a generation where the creation of solutions to difficult real-world problems will mostly come in the form of mobile device apps. One such relevant real-life…

In the time past, virtually all the contemporary communication systems depend on distinct source and channel encoding schemes for data transmission. Irrespective of the recorded success of the distinct schemes, the new developed scheme known as joint source channel coding technique has proven to have technically outperformed the conventional schemes. The aim of the study…

Radon transform is a mathematical tool widely applied in various domains, including biophysics and computer tomography. Previously, it was discovered that applying the Radon transform to a binary image comprising circle forms resulted in discontinuity. As a result, the line detection approach based on it became discontinued. The d-Radon transform is a modified version of…

The false nearest neighbors (FNN) method estimates the variables of a system by sequentially embedding a time series into a higher-dimensional delay coordinate system and finding an embedding dimension in which the neighborhood of the delay coordinate vector in the lower dimension does not extend into the higher, that is, a dimension in which no…

Estimation of energy demand has important implications for economic and social stability leading to a more secure energy future. One-year-ahead energy demand estimation for Turkey has been proposed in this paper, using the metaheuristics method with GDP, the total population, and the quantities of imports and exports, as inputs variables. The records obtained from historical…

Applying black-box ML models in high-stakes fields like criminology, healthcare and real-time operating systems might create issues because of poor interpretability and complexity. Also, model building methods that include interpretability is now one of the growing research topics due to the absence of interpretability metrics that are both model-agnostic and quantitative. This paper introduces model…

Various interruptions to the daily lives of researchers have necessitated the usage of simulations in projects which may not have initially relied on anything other than physical inquiry and experiments. The programs and algorithms introduced in this paper, which is an extended version of research initially published in ARAIG And Minecraft: A COVID-19 Workaround, create…

Hydrocarbon exploration and production has been successful in the central region of Doba basin, Chad, north-central Africa. In order to optimize the hydrocarbon production in this area, the combination of seismic and well log datas have been processed and analyzed to better characterize, image and capture the reservoirs. The 3D seismic and well log datas…

Traffic road management is becoming more complex due to limited resources and an increasing number of hybrid vehicles. Currently, a number of global classical computing tools are used to manage the traffic road network. This kind of classical computing is resource intensive and expensive, and in the best case, optimizing a traffic network takes a…

Dust is ubiquitous in our daily environment—outdoor and indoor. In modern times, people often spend the majority of their time at home, in offices, at work or in schools. Suspended particles such as tiny crumbs up to long fibers generate indoor dust deposits. Inhouse sources are the interior releasing abraded fibers from carpets, bedding and…

In this paper, we propose a highly accurate indoor position and direction estimation system using a simple fully connected deep neural network (DNN) model on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs).
