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…

In this study, we developed and evaluated an automatic abstractive summarization algorithm in Japanese using a neural network. We used a sequence-to-sequence encoder-decoder model for practical purposes. The encoder obtained a feature-based input vector of sentences using the bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) technique. A transformer-based decoder returned the summary sentence from the output…

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.…

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the future of aviation. It is a vast system that provides situational awareness for the aviator and regulator at a very low cost and does so with the aid of multiple disparate systems working closely together and communicating with one another. ADS-B uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS/ GPS)…

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…

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…

In this article, the Grebennikov cubic spline, the Ryabenky cubic spline, and we offer the local interpolation cubic spline models are selected. The construction details of the models were given and the processes of approximating the functions were performed using selected local cubic splines. We can also say that the local interpolation cubic spline models…

Lime mortar, an age-long building material is primarily popular for its flexibility, the basis of its ability to accommodate masonry deformation, hence durability. However, lime’s characteristic delayed setting/hardening time, low mechanical strength and poor internal cohesion often characterised by volumetric changes have put its use into decline. These shortcomings have therefore relegated relevance of this…

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…

In an intelligent transportation system (ITS), time is a big challenge since processing a huge amount of data in a short time is very difficult, especially when the processed data is heterogeneous, consisting of a mixture of emergency data, normal data, and noise. In an ITS, an ambulance is one of the priority vehicles, and…

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…

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…

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.…

The article discusses the possibility of using solar energy for street lighting systems in the city of Gitega, in the Republic of Burundi. Analysis of weather and climate conditions of the city was carried out and an effective street lighting system based on solar mini-power plants using an intelligent control system developed. Calculations of technical…

Social skills are a set of partially independent and situationally specific verbal or nonverbal responses, in terms of resilience, it is the set of qualities, resources or strengths that favor adolescents to face the adversities of life, therefore the objective of the research work is to determine the social skills and resilience in adolescents of…

Social skills are the behaviors that the individual adopts on a regular basis at specific moments in everyday life. Resilience is the way in which the individual faces the adversity that life imposes on them, as well as manages to overcome it. In adolescence, problems are perceived because important changes are generated in an accelerated…

Background: The quality of care of the nursing professional in relation to the hospitalized patient refers to the set of knowledge and attitudes that the nursing professional must provide quality care, preventing risks and improving patient satisfaction, for which its objective is to determine the quality of nursing care in hospitalized patients at the LanFranco la…

Discrete component based ultra-wideband SPDT switch modelling, design and implementation challenges are reported in this article. The basic SPDT switch is planned to design using PIN diodes (bare die). Nonlinear parameters extraction steps of PIN diode from datasheets have been proposed in this article instead of using readymade nonlinear PIN diode models. Equalizers are designed…

We consider the estimation of empirical probability distributions, both discrete and continuous. We focus on deriving formulas to estimate number of categories for the discrete distribution, when the number of categories is hidden, and the means and methods to estimate the number of components in the Gaussian mixture model representing a probability density function given…

Traffic congestion is being experienced daily by many travellers both on the inner-city roads as well as on the highways. The toll plaza can become a real highway bottleneck, as vehicles must stop and manually pay the tolls at the toll booths. This stop-and-go process can seriously affect traffic fluidity, resulting in a lower quality…

In 1980, an application was developed to track, manage and store documents in electronic format. Scan technology has enabled organizations to digitize papers for easier document storage and tracking. Document management tools have since developed by introducing new functionalities, related to security, users services, workflow and audit. Our research is part of the context of…
