In this study, we study on the downlink indoor coverage performance of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) base stations. We consider a probabilistic expression for air-to-ground (ATG) path loss, and a deterministic one for additional indoor losses in order to provide a practical model. One of our important assumptions is that the UAV base station operates…

Background: Occupational injuries are an issue of huge significance in the United States. After a work injury, health care providers often utilize functional capacity evaluations to determine readiness of a patient to return to work. However, it can be difficult to determine if a patient is providing maximal “effort” during the evaluation. The aim of…

A healthy watershed is important not only for the ecosystem but also for human socioeconomic activities. Therefore, a compatible assessment model is required to recognize watershed health. In Indonesia, the watershed health assessment is directed by the Ministry of Forestry regulation number 60/2014. A critic might be posed to this directive for not including the…

This study indicates that demand for forensic accounting services is expected…

Educational organizations often need to distribute academic transcripts and certificates upon student’s request since they are mandatory for admission into new scholarly programs including placement activities. Manual procedures involved with the transmission process of academic document is indeed a tedious task that results in substantial overhead. Thus the necessity for an autonomous electronic system for…

The objective of this article is to highlight the existing relationship between the tourist’s destination brand image of the city of Rabat (Morocco) and its choice by foreign tourists to be visited once again. We suggest a reliable measurement scale able to measure the dimensions and associations of the brand image most memorized by tourists,…

Android Operating system (OS) has been used much more than all other mobile phone’s OS turning android OS to a major point of attack. Android Application installation serves as a major avenue through which attacks can be perpetrated. Permissions must be first granted by the users seeking to install these third-party applications. Some permissions can…

Today, Drowning is the 3rd major cause for unintentional injury death accounting for 7% of deaths of all injury deaths. Drowning is a state of suffocation when water or other fluids accumulate the lungs, resulting in respiratory impairment, ultimately leading to death. The predominant problem during rescue operations of such accidental drowning is to locate…

The demand on livestock as a source of protein is increasing with the dramatic increase of world population which approaches 8 billion. As a result, the monitoring of the performance of livestock breeding is becoming essential. The technique which could increase livestock production and improve the efficiency of operation is digitalization of livestock management .…

The learning difficulties of Object-Oriented Programming can be one of the causes of failure in college students, which can even lead to student dropout. This article has the purpose of analyzing the main learning difficulties of object-oriented programming using the Java programming language in Systems Engineering students of the Universidad Nacional Tecnológica de Lima Sur…

Blockchain is a solution to improve data integrity and minimize data manipulation. Blockchain technology can be used in student examination management in universities. The process of managing student examination produces some information that can be stored in a blockchain database such as information about the lecturer as the exam creator, exam proctor, student attendance, student…

In this study, we developed and evaluated an automatic abstractive summarization algorithm in Japanese using a neural network. We used a sequence-to-sequence encoder-decoder model for practical purposes. The encoder obtained a feature-based input vector of sentences using the bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) technique. A transformer-based decoder returned the summary sentence from the output…

Environmental monitoring has gained significant importance in outdoor air quality measurement and assessment for fundamental survival as well as ambient assisted living. In real-time outdoor urban scale, instantaneous air quality index estimation, the electrochemical sensors warm-up time, cross-sensitivity computation-error, geo-location typography, instantaneous capacity or back up time; and energy efficiency are the six major challenges.…

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the future of aviation. It is a vast system that provides situational awareness for the aviator and regulator at a very low cost and does so with the aid of multiple disparate systems working closely together and communicating with one another. ADS-B uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS/ GPS)…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic disorder that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar (glucose) in the blood and depends on a combination of risk factors, such as genes and lifestyle. Although certain risk factors such as family history, age, or ethnicity cannot be changed, those related to diet, physical activity, and weight…

Quantum computers are heterogeneous device. It consists of a main CPU and a quantum accelerator. True quantum accelerator (or coprocessor) is analog and probabilistic device. Qubits are the basic building blocks of quantum computers. But qubits can be digital. A digital qubit is similar to RISC processor pipeline and is an unique chain of digital…
