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…

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…

Manufacturing industry is facing several challenges in power quality and energy consumptions that play a significant role in the cost of goods sold in addition to the operational efficiency of manufacturing plants. The current techniques are not enough to manage the manufacturing processes from power perspectives as it is focusing only on the monitoring of…

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 world is witnessing unprecedented advancements in ICT (Information & Communication Technology) related fields. These advancements are further boosted with the emergence of big data. It goes without saying that big data requires two major operations: storage and processing. The latter is usually provided through High-Performance Computing (HPC) which is delivered through two main venues:…

With the features of the application system make it easier for users to transact, make the user feel comfortable in using the application system. The problem is that the intensity of application usage decreases judging by the application rating given by the user each time they perform a transaction, this is because the company initially…

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…

In this paper we propose an algorithmic approach for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for digital watermarking which outperforms the existing frequency domain techniques in all aspects including security along with the criteria in the neural networks such as conditions embedded, and types of watermarking attack. This research addresses digital watermarking in deep neural networks and…

The need to update the news at this time is very important. Journalists have responsibilities as their job. Apart from conveying the correct news to the public, they must also deliver it quickly. Journalists who are tasked as news seekers must always be updated about the latest news that is viral, therefore a journalist must…

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 one-dimensional form of some types of differential equations that appear in the modeling of solid-state devices, like, e.g., the Poisson and Schro¨ dinger equations, can be solved numerically using the Numerov Process (NP). The accuracy of NP is superior by at least two orders of magnitude to that of commonly-used solution methods like, e.g.,…

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.…

Nowadays, robots are an important learning tool in education and are increasingly used inside and outside the classroom to foster the development of students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes connecting to a real-world situation. In past years, using robots in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education has been proposed as one of the strategies to…

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…
