C programming is taught in a lot of universities across the world as the first computer programming language. Then, for novice students, it is important to read many simple C source codes and understand their behaviors to be familiar to the programming paradigm. Unfortunately, effective tools to support independent code reading study at home have…

Kahoot is one of the most popular learning platforms, with over 2.5 billion players per year worldwide, used mainly for knowledge review through gamification. However, students´ opinion and its effectiveness in online distance learning as well as in another language teaching has been little studied. With these aims, this study was carried out in the…

The SENSORIA Reference Modeling Language (SRML) aims at modelling composite services at a high level. Continuous time SRML extends SRML so that it can model services whose components can perform both discrete processes and continuous processes. In order to show how continuous time SRML is applied, in this paper, we systematically introduce our study on…

The daily treats model reduction finite frequency (FFMR) design for Takagi Sugeno (T S) systems. This work is to FFMR design in such a way whether augmented model is steady get a reduced H? index in FF areas with noise is established as a prerequisite. To highlight the importance of suggested process, a practical application…

Genome-wide association studies, or GWAS, have reported associations between SNPs and specific diseases/traits. GWAS results contain variants located in different genomic regions, including variants in the 3’UTR. MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are small noncoding RNAs that bind to the 3’UTRs of genes to regulate gene expression. However, variant(s) that are located in the 3’UTR could impact…

The construction industry has undergone several changes in recent years linked to new laws and international conventions aimed at protecting the environment and combating pollution. Construction industry alone produces tons of waste annually due to debris produced either during construction or during deconstruction. To combat this, companies are forced to control their debris either by…

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) decentralisation brings about reductions in the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) earmarked for landfilling worse still under situations where MSW is being sent to dumpsites. It also reduces the distances MSW collection vehicles travel during MSW collection, maintenance and transport costs due to the establishment of local level decentralised…

Waste is currently a serious problem often found in rural areas, rural areas, and even industrial areas. Waste is a side effect of activities carried out by humans to meet social or industrial needs. Increasing human productivity will also increase the amount of waste produced. To overcome this, a sorting management system is needed. Good…

The Anopheles gambiae’s CYP6Z3 protein belongs to the Cytochrome P450 family and functions in oxidation-reduction processes, many studies including our previous work on elucidating insecticide resistance genes of the Anopheles also implicated her in pyrethroid insecticide resistance. Model prediction, functional analysis, and enrichment of the target gene with triplex binding sites may become a useful…

Quality of service is a significant part of formulating a composing of web services to satisfy the user’s request, especially when several services exist and have been implemented in the same field and functionality. The selection process of web services among many options can be taken based on the quality of service considerations, fitness parameters,…

The security of website application has become important in the last decades. According to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), the SQL Injection is classified as one of the major vulnerabilities found in web application security. This research is focused on improving website security in dealing with SQL Injection attacks by stopping, monitoring, and…

Real-time embedded systems are widely adopted in applications such as automotive, avionics, and medical care. As some of these systems have to provide a guaranteed worst-case execution time to satisfy the time constraints, understanding the timing behaviour of such systems is of the utmost importance regarding the reliability and the safety of these systems. In…

Social media attracts a lot of users around the world. Many reasons drive people to use social media sites such as expressing opinions and ideas, displaying their diaries and sharing them with others, social communication with family and friends and building new social relationships, learning and sharing knowledge. Written text is one of the most…

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,…

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…

IoT integrates and connects intelligent devices or objects with varied architectures and resources. The number of IoT devices is growing exponentially. Due to the massive wave of IoT objects, their diversity and heterogeneity among their architectures, the existing communication protocols for wireless networks become ineffective in the context of IoT. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has…

The growing popularity of social media sites has generated a massive amount of data that attracted researchers, decision-makers, and companies to investigate people’s opinions and thoughts in various fields. Sentiment analysis is considered an emerging topic recently. Decision-makers, companies, and service providers as well-considered sentiment analysis as a valuable tool for improvement. This research paper…

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…

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…

The pressing and most urgent challenge for most of the Posts in Southern Africa is to transit from its historical reputation of being a snail-paced, inefficient, loss-making and ineffective service provider to an agile, innovative, solution-driven and highly competitive service provider that strive for excellence. In this context, adoption, and diffusion of technology and digital…

The measurement of Leaf Area Index is of fundamental importance in agriculture and ecological research because it reflects plant growth. This study aims to estimate LAI from, NDVI derived from standard eight days composite MODIS surface reflectance, acquired during the rice growing period. A two-stage model was developed to relate the LAI of rice to…

The presence of urban parks and green spaces in the city can play a role in maintaining urban residents’ quality of life. Parks in Manila are located near main thoroughfares. Since people usually go to parks for recreation and relaxation it is important to have an idea of the concentration of criteria pollutants at these…

Recent technological advances allow us to utilize remote monitoring systems or real-time access of data. While the use of remote monitoring systems is not new, there are still numerous applications that can be explored and improved on, one such is groundwater level and quality monitoring. In the Philippines, the extraction of groundwater for both domestic…

A new method of analysis and classification of rock acoustic emission signals is proposed. It is based on symbol description of signals and involves the following processing. First, signal segments containing pulses are detected. Second, noise of the detected pulses is reduced by the wavelet filtration method. Fourth-order symlets and adaptive threshold scheme based on…
