In this study, 6 unique microstrip patch antennas with quarter-circular and semi-circular slots in patches are proposed. It is aimed to investigate the effect of these slots in the designed topologies. The antennas operate for wireless applications including Personal Communication Service (PCS), 3rd Generation (3G), The Standard for Wireless Fidelity (WiFi)/Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)/Bluetooth,…

The Micro-facial expression is the most effective way to display human emotional state. But it needs an expert coder to be decoded. Recently, new computer vision technologies have emerged to automatically extract facial expressions from human faces. In this study, a video-based emotion analysis system is implemented to detect human faces and recognize their emotions…

Information and Communications Technologies are developing faster today than ever before, giving an important contribution to the global economy. Organizations in developed and developing economies explore new technologies to gain advantage and add value. That evolution also brings an increasing complexity to the organizations’ management. The alignment of organizational practices with international standards and best…

Software maintenance contributes the majority of software system life cycle costs. However, existing approaches with automated code analysis are limited by accuracy and scope. Using human-assessed methods or implementing quality standards are more comprehensive alternatives, but they are much more costly for smaller organizations, especially in open- source software projects. Instead, bugs are generally used…

The design of microelectronic systems is often complex, therefore metaheuristics can be of a great interest, because in most cases these systems have conflicting objectives and constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of multi-criteria design strategies to a CMOS current conveyor. This provides designers with the ability to develop solutions that can meet…

With the increase of smart factories and smart cities following the recent 4th industrial revolution, internal user authentication and authorization have become an important issue. The user authentication model using the server-client structure has a problem of forgery of the access history caused by the log manipulation of the administrator and unclearness of the responsibility.…

“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 work presents the analysis and formulation for optimizing the dynamic model and parameter estimation of all the six joints of a 6DOF industrial robot manipulator by utilizing swarm intelligence to optimize two excitation trajectories for the first three links at the arm and the last three links at the wrist of the robot manipulator.…

This paper comprehensively focused on the information systems for purchase process optimization (IS) that are currently being used. It elaborates four crucial and important areas in relation to purchasing and supply management. These includes; Identifying the process involved in purchasing, how information systems are implemented and used in enhancing the supply process, understanding the key…

The revolution in the electrification of conventional vehicles due to increased petroleum prices and environmental concerns has had its impact on three-wheeler vehicles as well. Motorized three-wheeled vehicles, known as Auto-rickshaws, are a standard mode of trans- portation in India. Existing battery operated electric rickshaws (known as E-rickshaws) available in major cities of India faces…

This study aims to provide a systematic and complete knowledge map for researchers in the field of virtual academic communities (VACs) and to help them quickly understand the key knowledge, evolution trends and research frontiers. This paper adopts the bibliometric method, with the help of bibliometric analysis software Citespace and VOSviewer quantitative analyze the retrieved…

The evolution of IT keeps growing worldwide, especially mobile technology. Today, mobile technology not only held by adults but also kids. The proportion of kids who used smart- phones is increasing each year. The growing technology in mobile applications encourages developers to build educational apps to help kids learn to know alphabets, numbers, animals, and…

Global changes caused by the IV Industrial revolution and globalization processes resulted in a redistribution of roles of participants in innovative infrastructures of countries. Universities are leading both in terms of generating R&D products and in terms of developing business activities. Now there is a problem of insufficient methodological support of technological universities for pricing…

This Information technology (IT) has a crucial role to improve business processes in companies. Getting the best technologies rapidly becomes as significant as understanding and developing the business plan of organizations. Thus, different IT best practices and norms are used by companies to help their services and IT business. These standards are set of best…

During service, oil and gas pipelines may be exposed to cyclical loads during service, which may lead to a structural failure. Failure is due in most cases to cracks in the structure. Mechanics of the propagation of surface cracks pose a serious challenge and, therefore, models are required to help analyze it. In this study,…

One of the most important technological changes due to the arrival of Industry 4.0, an initial, gradual, and complex process of technology transfer is taking place, which strongly relies on the integration of universities, industries, and governments. In this context, to make the Industry 4.0 approach a reality, several requirements need to be met. One…

21st century learning focuses on the flow of information, media, and technology. In Malaysia, many university students face problems in English writing.
