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…

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.…

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…

Day to day huge medical data have been accumulating for diabetic diseases. The complexity of storing, processing ,analyzing and predicting the data related to diabetics is not so easy for healthcare professionals .The prediction of accurate results also has the limitation due to scale of data increasing worldwide for patients, symptoms and test results .In…

COVID-19 is a viral disease that became a pandemic representing a very great challenge worldwide. The purpose of this article is to analyze COVID-19 patients’ data based on time- to-event analysis and identify the factors that affect the recovery time from COVID-19. The datasets that are used in this study are for cases that are…

With the features of the application system make it easier for users to transact, make the user feel comfortable in using the application system. The problem is that the intensity of application usage decreases judging by the application rating given by the user each time they perform a transaction, this is because the company initially…

Forest mapping by remote sensing is a hot topics in forestry. At present, many researchers focus on the research of forest type classification or tree species identification using different machine learning methods and try to improve the accuracy of classification of satellite image. However, forest type classification using deep belief network (DBN) is still limited…

Traditional networks have difficulty in meeting the technological developments and the continuous increase in the size of data to be processed. Software-Defined Network (SDN) approach has emerged as an alternative to traditional networks. SDN separates the control and data planes from each other and manages the network over the control plane with flexibility and cost…

Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) is a solution for investors in determining the best energy-saving strategy for buildings. But on the other hand, investors need a fast and reliable evaluation results in measuring how effective the savings methods they use without wasting money. To address this issue, we selected Facebook’s latest predictive time series method…

Leachate generated from landfill Indonesia is typical has high salinity and organic matters during the dry season, potentially contaminating water and the environment. An increase in salinity might deteriorate the activity of the microorganisms on the decomposition process. This research aims to study the feasibility of the ozonation technique for treating stabilized leachate. The parameters…

This study aims to discuss the establishment of digital culture in higher education as an effort of higher education to align themselves with the development of science and technology so that that higher education is always at the forefront in the enforcement and provide high-quality education. The method used in this study is a qualitative…

The technics of maximum power point tracking is widely used in solar photovoltaic energy and electric power system applications. Traditionally, these technics are based on conventional methods like perturb and observe and incremental conductance. In this work, three methods based on particle swarms optimization, incremental conductance and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system are presented. A…

This paper covers the study of high-frequency (~ 1 GHz) ZnO piezoelectric transducer integrated on a silicon substrate able to generate both compressional and shear acoustic waves. First, to promote the longitudinal mode, an electrical matching of the transducer in this high-frequency range is effectuated. Second, to promote shear waves, new deposition conditions were applied,…

The current online shopping system does not provide the actual shopping experience to the users where they scroll through the web pages and select an item to purchase, which becomes monotonous soon and lacks the shopping experience. This paper describes the development of the SmartMart, a 3D shopping mart where the user can navigate around…

In this study, Taguchi method and ANOVA that are applied to determine the influence of several input parametrs on cutting force amplitude (F), vibration acceleration amplitude (a), and machining productivity (P) in the five-axis finish milling process of the spiral bevel gear. Taguchi orthogonal L27 array is used to design the experimental matrix with 27…

This article shows the possibility of creating high wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on the AlSi12Cu aluminum alloy. The combination of influencing parameters during processing allows to influencing of the set of quality indicators of coating, such as the thickness of the coating layer, microhardness, porosity, phase and elemental composition. The…

The huge number of images on the image sharing websites poses challenges for classification and retrieval of the images. On many image sharing websites, tags can be assigned by the users to an image that describes the contextual and visual description of an image. However, ambiguous or incorrect tags have appeared in frequent tags that…

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…
