The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be a valuable contribution in disaster situations or life-threatening exploration. Using wireless mobile robots, it is possible to explore vast areas without human intervention. However, the wireless network coverage that can keep mobile robots connected to the base station / gateway is a major limitation. With this…

There is a crisis in basic education during this pandemic which affected everyone worldwide, we see that teaching and learning have gone online which has effected student performance. Student’s academic performance needs to be predicted to help an instructor identify struggling students more easily and giving teachers a proactive chance to come up with supplementary…

In this work, a study of the process variation effects on the threshold voltage of a floating- gate device is proposed. The study demonstrates the sensitivity of the threshold voltage to five geometrical parameters including gate length, gate width, tunneling gate oxide thickness, bottom oxide-nitride-oxide oxide thickness, and nitride spacer thickness. This paper also proposed…

The objective of the metaheuristics, together with obtaining quality results in reasonable time, is to be able to control the exploration and exploitation balance within the iterative processes of these methodologies. Large combinatorial problems present ample search space, so Metaheuristics must efficiently explore this space; and exploits looking in the vicinity of good solutions previously…

Background: Occupational injuries are an issue of huge significance in the United States. After a work injury, health care providers often utilize functional capacity evaluations to determine readiness of a patient to return to work. However, it can be difficult to determine if a patient is providing maximal “effort” during the evaluation. The aim of…

The purpose of this article was to determine the incidence between learning strategies and academic goals in the competences of the curricular experience of electronics and digital circuits in engineering students of a private university in Lima, Peru. The objective was to explain how learning strategies and academic goals explain the behavior of engineering students…

The objective of this study is to examine the current views of academics on issues and technology development in forensic accounting education. By applying the explanatory sequential mixed method, this study tries to acquire a better understanding of current perception regarding forensic accounting education. This study indicates that demand for forensic accounting services is expected…

Data sensitivity analysis using normalization techniques in decision making has an impact on preference values and rankings in the case of social assistance programs for student online. The distribution of assistance is disproportionate and not on target to potential recipients. This study aims to analyze data sensitivity from simple data normalization techniques and linear techniques…

The need of add-on features (secondary contacts) for current paths of air insulated high voltage disconnectors switching capabilities (e.g. bus transfer switching) is introduced. The relevant product components for the switching capability and their functionality is described, which is giving boundary conditions for adding features necessary to achieve the switching capability. Possible features are discussed…

Growing adoption of cryptocurrencies by institutional investors coupled with recurring incidents of loss of access to digital wallets have resulted in emergence of custodial services for high net worth individuals and institutions. However, such services are not economically feasible for the wider community of crypto owners who are left with no recourse for recovery of…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that enables communication between everyday life using different sensor actuators that work together to identify, capture, and distribute critical data from the planet. Massive machines and devices are therefore linked and communicate with them. The use of resources in this area presents new challenges for this technology.…

To evaluate and compare methods in computer vision, scientists must use a benchmark dataset and unified sets of measurements. The UCI-EGO dataset is a standard benchmark dataset for evaluating Hand Pose Estimation (HPE) on depth images. To build robotic arms that perform complex operations such as human hands, the poses of the human hand need…

The purpose of this study is to show how to design the character used as the symbol or Mascot of the educational institution and how to apply the design results into advertising and Brand identity design such as printing art, poster, digital media, toy, and souvenir. In this study, the ideas of mascot design have…

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,…

Android Operating system (OS) has been used much more than all other mobile phone’s OS turning android OS to a major point of attack. Android Application installation serves as a major avenue through which attacks can be perpetrated. Permissions must be first granted by the users seeking to install these third-party applications. Some permissions can…

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…

Virtual reality is a technology that literally allows constructing of a new reality for its users. VR has huge potential, it is able to change social life, communications, and the academic sphere, but VR may also be applied by criminals. In the present paper properties of potentially committed crimes in VR are analyzed. It is…

The demand on livestock as a source of protein is increasing with the dramatic increase of world population which approaches 8 billion. As a result, the monitoring of the performance of livestock breeding is becoming essential. The technique which could increase livestock production and improve the efficiency of operation is digitalization of livestock management .…

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.
