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…

COVID-19 is a viral disease that became a pandemic representing a very great challenge worldwide. The purpose of this article is to analyze COVID-19 patients’ data based on time- to-event analysis and identify the factors that affect the recovery time from COVID-19. The datasets that are used in this study are for cases that are…

The adoption and diffusion of mobile applications (mobile apps) has become the base of modern activities in Africa owing to the services and values that are obtained through mobile apps innovations. More emphasis has been on the development of mobile apps whereas the adoption and diffusion process as well as their predictors are ignored or…

Forest mapping by remote sensing is a hot topics in forestry. At present, many researchers focus on the research of forest type classification or tree species identification using different machine learning methods and try to improve the accuracy of classification of satellite image. However, forest type classification using deep belief network (DBN) is still limited…

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…

Leachate generated from landfill Indonesia is typical has high salinity and organic matters during the dry season, potentially contaminating water and the environment. An increase in salinity might deteriorate the activity of the microorganisms on the decomposition process. This research aims to study the feasibility of the ozonation technique for treating stabilized leachate. The parameters…
