With increases in technological usage, cyber incidents are also on the rise and have become a major concern in schools across the globe. What is of significant concern is that cyber incidents in South African schools are also on the rise. Existing evidence suggests that, in South Africa there are no clear procedures that are…

In this research we developed an BIM-based system to monitor and visualize the real-time building users information. Concentrating on building in-use stages, advantages in tracking facial recognition should be revealed through the availability of real-time information. In this way could explore the possibility of how BIM and IoT could improve data-oriented facility management. The integration…

In the past decade, multiple anthropomorphic prosthetic hands have been developed to replace the role of human hands. Prostheses should not only replace the functions of human hands in functionality but also replicate human hands in appearance and sense of body-belonging intuitively. Human fingers have very delicate and complex structures, and it is these complex…

With the advent of Big Data, we are witnessing a rapid and varied production of huge amounts of sequential data that can have multiple dimensions, we speak of data streams. The characteristics of these data streams make their processing and storage very difficult and at the same time reduce the possibilities of querying them a…

The development of Machine Learning methods and approaches offers enormous growth opportunities in the Healthcare field. One of the most exciting challenges in this field is the automation of clinical treatment selection for patient state optimization. Using necessary medical data and the application of Machine Learning methods (like the Genetic Algorithm and the Analytic Hierarchy…

Quantum logic gates represent certain quantum operations to perform quantum computations. Of those quantum gates, there is a category of classical behavior gates called quantum permutation gates. As a quantum algorithm, quantum permutation pad or QPP consists of multiple quantum permutation gates to be implemented both in a quantum computing system as a quantum circuit…

In devices using Windows operating system based on x86 system, the real-time performance is not guaranteed by Windows. It is because Windows is not a real-time operating system. Users who develop applications in such a Windows environment generally use commercial solutions such as the RTX or the INtime to provide real-time performance to the system.…

Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology that is used to monitor points or objects of interest in an area. Despite its many applications, this kind of network is often limited by the fact that it is difficult to provide energy to the nodes continuously, forcing the use of batteries, which restricts its operations. Network…

The energy states, transitions chances, oscillator intensities, and collision intensities were computed with FAC (fully relativistic flexible atomic code) program. The calculated results were utilized for identification of the reduced population to sixty-nine thin structural states in C-like Zn (XXV) and indicates the gain coefficients with several electron densities (from 10+20 to 10+22 cm3) and…

To effectively implement the social distancing or digital contact tracing in epidemic using an RSSI-based localization approach through Bluetooth beacon is one of the most widely used technologies, but simply using RSSI measurement is not more relevant because the RF signal is affected by several factors and the environment of usage. Traditional distance or positioning…

This study evaluated the competencies related to digital information use through technological tools aiming to acquire applicable knowledge by searching and retrieving information. Methodologically, a quasi-experimental design without a control group was applied to a sample of primary education students from Chile (n=266). First, a diagnosis of the digital-informational skills is performed, and, later, the…

There is no doubt that energy is one of the most important requirements of life, and its importance increases with the passage of time, and this is what make countries to harness the capabilities and scientists in developing energy systems of all kinds, one of the most important energy systems these days is what is…

Survivability of systems is a very important system property and consists major concern for organizations and companies. Survivable systems should maintain their critical services functional in a timely manner. There are several approaches, proposed in the literature, on how to develop survivable telecommunication systems, but the majority is based on node outages or path failures,…

Humans have experienced motion sickness and possessed the knowledge of stereopsis since classical antiquity. Knowledge of stereopsis dates back to approximately 300 B.C., when Euclid first recognized the concept of depth perception in human vision. Further, the motion sickness is including a sensation of wooziness and nausea that has been documented since approximately 400 B.C.,…

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…

Educators should be considered the learning style of students so that the best practice approach can be applied in learning activities. As students understand their learning style, they will be able to integrate it into their learning process. Kolb Learning Style was the learning style that was widely used based on the theory of learning…

Lab sessions in Engineering Education are designed to reinforce theoretical concepts. However, there is usually not enough time to reinforce all of them. Remote and virtual labs give students more time to reinforce those concepts. In particular, with remote labs, this can be done interacting with real lab instruments and specific configurations. This work proposes…

The Hamming neural network is an effective tool for solving problems of recognition and classification of objects, the components of which are encoded using a binary bipolar alphabet, and as a measure of the objects’ proximity the difference between the number of identical bipolar components which compared include objects and the Hamming distance between them…

This paper analyzes the challenges a middle-sized city faces, particularly the Metropolitan Zone of Pachuca (MZP), which has not had the expected development given its current geographic, competitiveness, and crisis circumstances. The research proposes a systemic methodology for the analysis of the aforementioned Metropolitan Area. It emphasizes its internal and external behavior, the competitive environment…

Just as industry is dynamic, constantly evolving according to the state of technology, economics, politics and so on, so must be, higher education. Studies have shown that higher education, for the past century, has constantly adapted to the dynamic skill and knowledge requirements of industry. This adaptation, however, is not always timeous and precise resulting…

This paper is an extended version of work published in IPFA 2020. In the previous paper, advanced physical failure analysis (PFA) techniques for rescuing damaged samples with cracks, scratches, or unevenness in delayering are introduced. In the present work, the techniques will be further exploited and summarized for the potential applications in general devices. The…

The new generation of mobile communications and the recent advances in data management are going to enable a fast transformation in the health sector of many countries. 5G networks, with superior technical characteristics, would allow the development of a new set of application and services gathered under the concept of eHealth. In this article we…

We propose a novel framework exploiting domain-aware aspect similarity for solving the multi- source cross-domain sentiment classification problem under the constraint of little labeled data. Existing works mainly focus on identifying the common sentiment features from all domains with weighting based on the coarse-grained domain similarity. We argue that it might not provide an accurate…
