Health care innovations are an essential element of Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 operational plan that will lead to an improvement in the quality of health care in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this paper is to…

Companies manufacturing, using or transporting hazardous materials (HM) face risks at every link in their supply chain. Industrial activities related to this type of material expose not only the workers, but also the population and environment to serious risks. Logistic management and risk management are often considered independent. However, logistics choices related to hazardous materials…

Lean ERP system is considered among the new trends of systems in the manufacturing sector, it has become one of the most widely adopted systems, thanks to its various benefits such as: a centralized database which gathers all the data of the enterprise in a single database which is accessible to all the departments, reduction…

The basics of unconventional design of current circuits of two-valued and multi-valued memory elements (ME) for storing current digital signals and flip-flops of the main types on their basis are considered. A nontraditional method of ME synthesis is proposed, which is based on the mathematical tool of linear algebra. Linear equations, structural and functional schemes…

The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the influence of hospital logistics on quality of care and patient satisfaction. Hospital logistics was assessed by considering five factors in the patient pathway, namely: physical accessibility of care, waiting time, consultation time, administrative procedures and hospital hotel services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, following an interview…

In recent years, development of aerial autonomous systems and cameras have allowed increasing enormously the number of aerial images, and their applications in many research areas. One of the most common applications is the mosaicking of images to improve the analysis by getting representations of larger areas with high spatial resolution. This paper describes a…

In more recent times, researchers have turned their attention to link prediction and the role link inference can play in better understanding the evolutionary nature of social networking sites. The objective of this paper is to present an in-depth review, analysis, and discussion of the cutting-edge link prediction methods that can be applied to better…

This article presents an analysis on the existing correlation of the specific and global performance of teachers in UNTELS engineering schools, whose data collection was carried out during the development of the first academic semester of the year 2019, using the Survey technique; which presents indicators classified in two dimensions: “Specific Dimension of Teaching Performance”…

Recitation and listening of the Holy Quran with Tajweed is an essential activity as a Muslim and is a part of the faith. In this article, we use a machine learning approach for the Quran Reciter recognition. We use the database of Twelve Qari who recites the last Ten Surah of Quran. The twelve Qari…

In advanced technologies nodes, starting from 28 nm to 7 nm and below, the power consumed of integrated circuits (ICs) becomes a big concern. Consequently, actual electronic design automation (EDA) tools are facing many challenges to have low power, reduced area and keep having required performance. To reach required success criteria, and because each picosecond…

Person recognition using thermal imaging, multi-biometric traits, with groups of feature filters and classifiers, is the subject of this paper. These were used to tackle the problems of biometric systems, such as a change in illumination and spoof attacks. Using a combination of, hard and soft-biometric, attributes in thermal facial images. The hard-biometric trait, of…

Anaphora resolution is one of the old problems in Natural Language Processing. It is the process of identifying the antecedent of an anaphoric expression in a natural language text. Most of the NLP applications such as text summarization, question answering, information extraction, machine translation etc. require the successful resolution of anaphors. In this paper, we…

This paper is an extension of research work originally presented in 2018 IEEE fifth International Congress on Information Science and Technology (CiSt). The research consists on developing method to diagnose electrical defects affecting wind turbine doubly-fed induction generator DFIG which constitutes a crucial part of wind energy conversion chain. First off all, we create a…

The aim of this article was the identification of cardiovascular diseases, after applying Katz and Higuchi fractal algorithms on 4 databases of ECG signals downloaded from the Physionet website: heart failure (HF), hypertension (H), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and normal sinus rhythm (NSR). For this purpose, initially the ECG signals passed through a filtering stage…

Due to the recent development of information and communication technology, such as sensor technology, IoT technology, and smart technology, interest in maker education is increasing. Maker education offers students experience-based education that allows them to make their own results, giving them various interests and motivations. Recently, various research results on maker education have been under…

Trade credit is an important cost reduction tool in the inventory management. The effect of trade credit is studied on the integrated system for sharing the cost benefits realized due to the permissible delay. Credit term factor is introduced to divide the cost benefits between the retailer and the supplier. The various costs in the…

Physical computing is important for ICT (information and communication technology) Education and other informatics education such as software education since physical computing can provide learning-by-doing education for students. It is also a strong tool to increase students’ programming ability using various type of physical computing tools like a robot. In physical computing, it is necessary…

In this paper, we present a new Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE) scheme using computation over complex numbers. We then use Bootstrapping technique to make the scheme Fully Homomorphic (FH) and supports unbounded number of circuit depth. In addition to its homomorphic properties and security level, a main characteristic of the proposed new scheme is its…
