Indeed, communicating through social media without revealing the real identity has emerged an ideal atmosphere for…

Capturing similarity in gene sequences of a target organism to detect significant regions of comparison will most likely occur because genes share a related descendant. Local sequence alignment for the targeted organisms can help preserve associations among sequences of related organisms. Such homologous genes possess identical sequences with common ancestral genes. The genes may be…

In the Global sphere, the social, environmental, and economic pillars are the main contributors and accelerators to the sustainable development goals. As a result, the latter creates a platform for interdisciplinary researchers, society and decision-makers to collaborate in formulating ways to minimize factors contributing to environmental concerns.

IoT platforms play an important role on modern measurement systems because they allow the ingestion and processing of huge amounts of data (big data). Given the increasing use of these platforms, it is important to characterize their performance and robustness in real application scenarios. The paper analyzes the ThingSpeak platform by measuring the latencies associated…

The purpose of the study was to describe the experiences of teachers in the distance teaching-learning process in early childhood education during the covid-19 pandemic. The methodology used was qualitative descriptive. Interviews were conducted with thirteen teachers from four state educational institutions at the infant level in Lima city through the virtual platform. As a…

Educational organizations often need to distribute academic transcripts and certificates upon student’s request since they are mandatory for admission into new scholarly programs including placement activities. Manual procedures involved with the transmission process of academic document is indeed a tedious task that results in substantial overhead. Thus the necessity for an autonomous electronic system for…

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:…

The technological evolution and the frequent use of the Internet as a technology within the framework of the Internet of Things and Robotics has affected various fields such as Industry 4.0, smart agriculture, smart cities, home automation and autonomous cars. These advances applied to everyday life have facilitated the implementation of new concepts to minimize…

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…

Due to the advent of cloud computing and Internet of Things, smart meters have become a crucial part of smart cities. Smart meters generate vast amounts of fine-grained data that can immediately provide useful information to electricity consumers, such as automatic billing, load monitoring, and dynamic time pricing. This will make the electricity consumers more…

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year destabilised the operations in the education sector, particularly in institutions of higher learning. Most of these institutions are now expected to teach online, assess their students using non-venue examinations and offer remote laboratory practical and experiments. However, many of these institutions were not prepared for such…

With the advancements in technology, smart entities are becoming increasingly intelligent, therefore, increasing their interaction capabilities with their surrounding environment. Apart from the traditional smart low profile devices, these entities now involve cars, mobiles, televisions, and extend to universities and smart cities. One of the bi-product of the smart cities is the emergence of the…

It is the age of information. Social networks are the main reason why, following the increasing activity of online users. With this comes a big impact on the real world, it can be positive and highly negative as well. Therefore, research in this field is highly needed for the betterment of societal behaviors within social…

This paper aims to design an accurate and robust algorithm for counting the steps based on the smartphone’s accelerometer for indoor applications. Different daily activities have been considered in the experimental scenarios, including normal walking with various smartphone positions and running activities. The detection process’s accuracy is ensured by setting an appropriate segregation approach and…
