The article identifies an alternative style of thinking as one of the important components of human intellectual development. It is shown that it can be effectively implemented in mathematics lessons at school. The purpose of this study is to develop and substantiate a strategy for the formation of an alternative style of thinking among students…

The data distribution used in model training is assumed to be similar with that when the model is applied. However, in some applications, data distributions may change over time. This situation is called the concept drift, which might decrease the model performance because the model is trained and evaluated in different distributions. To solve this…

The intention of this research is to study and design an automated agriculture commodity price prediction system with novel machine learning techniques. Due to the increasing large amounts historical data of agricultural commodity prices and the need of performing accurate prediction of price fluctuations, the solution has largely shifted from statistical methods to machine learning…

Combinatorial software testing is regarded as a crucial part when it comes to the software development life cycle. However, it would be impractical to exhaustive test highly configurable software due to limited time as well as resources. Moreover, a combinatorial testing strategy would be to employ input-output-based relations (IORs) due to its benefits versus other…

In control systems, several optimization problems have been overcome using Multi-Agent Sys- tems (MAS). Interactions of agents and the complexity of the system can be understood by using MAS. As a result, functional models are generated, which are closer to reality. Nevertheless, the use of models with permanent availability of information between agents is assumed…

Protecting the rights and interests of shareholders is the important research topic. This study takes ” Tatung Operation Rights Competition” as an example to execute case study. Game tools are applied to analyze which corporate supervision strategies should be used by government. The research and analysis results show that both the corporate group and the…

On the 11th of March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Part of controlling measures of the pandemic is to understand the disease’s trajectories. There are several possible interventions that can prevent and control its spread. Determining an optimal strategy is critical for policymakers to understand the impact of different…

Higher efficiency and lower losses are widely considered as the best metrics to optimize, in a high-power converter performance context. To provide a solution to the ever-increase of high switching frequencies challenges, we must explore soft-switching technologies to resolve interface issues and reduce the switching losses. This manuscript describes a comparative analysis between the fixed-bandwidth…

In the modern marketing system in a mass consumer society, the central place is given to the formation and promotion of brands. Professional conceptual approaches to brand management are able to preserve and increase the value and stability of the brand and allow the brand to survive in the most difficult competitive and crisis market…

The current concept of open innovation corresponds to the R&D products transfer model – “role changes”. One of the fundamental provisions of the model is that R&D products are considered for commercialization not only at the final stage of technological readiness, but at any of them. In today’s changing market environment, special attention is paid…

Despite the significant progress made in data mining technologies in recent years, breast cancer risk prediction and diagnosis at an early stage using DNA microarray technology still a real challenging task. This challenge comes especially from the high-dimensionality in gene expression data, i.e., an enormous number of genes versus a few tens of subjects (samples).…

The implementation of green advertising is relatively low for credibility but has an impact on green customer behavior. Based on the phenomenon, the purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting green advertising development, which is based on experienced customers towards products and advertisements and environmental issues. This research focuses on customers to create…

The constant market change and the critical role of the logistics process in the supply chain need to have special attention because it is an essential piece for the global business strategy. This paper presents an assessment of the processes of handling material from Asia suppliers to North America. The data utilized for the analysis…

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…

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…

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…

This article is a continuation of the work presented in the Third World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems Security and Sustainability (WorldS4). In this version we focus on matching IT and business processes from different management levels by using IT-Governance (ITG) Risk and Compliance frameworks in a smart way. In fact, every information system…

The large and ever-increasing variety of remote sensing sensors used in satellite imagery today explains why detecting changes between identical locations in images that are captured, at two separate times, from heterogeneous capturing systems is a major and challenging recent research problem in the field of satellite imaging for fast and accurate determination of temporal…

There have been disruptions in local and global food supply chains around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has led to rethink various aspects and to consider various trends in the food sector, encourage a more rapid transition and evolution to the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), to counteract current problems and to…

We describe the control design strategy used to control a soft robotic artificial muscle composed of silicone rubber using hand gesture signals. This artificial muscle is actuated with pneumatics, and therefore, the control strategy employed is through the regulation of air pressure within the inner chambers. Using the hand gestures of bringing the hands apart…
