Location-based service has been widely used in modern life. It brings a lot of convenience to our lives. Improving the accuracy of location prediction can provide better location- based service. We propose a location prediction method based on the variable-order Markov model with time feature and user’s spatio-temporal rule. First, the user’s trajectory data needs…

The aim of this article is to analyze and evaluate the performance of Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission approach at a frequency of 28 GHz using three dimensional ray tracing simulations in an urban macrocellular environment. The new performance metric introduced in this article is the relative power usage. Other performance metrics examined in this article…

Robotic catching of thrown objects is one of the common robotic tasks, which is explored in a number of papers. This task includes subtask of tracking and forecasting the trajectory of the thrown object. Here we propose an algorithm for estimating future trajectory based on video signal from two cameras. Most of existing implementations use…

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women in low to middle income group countries (LMIC). Various methods for screening cervical cancer are practiced, such as the Conventional Pap Smear (CPS), Liquid Based Cytology with its ancillary techniques like Cell Block with immunocytochemistry. VIA is another method which is being advocated as a…

A mobile retail app is a growing innovation in a retailing setting and there is an argument on the prominent status of a mobile application in contrast with a mobile website and web applications. The study used quantitative data to run multiple regression analysis with keen attention to linear regression assumption and compare four models…

Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack), a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the major killers worldwide. Around one thousand data has been collected from AMI patients, people are at risk of maybe a heart attack and individuals with the significant features closely related to heart attack. The sophistication in mobile technology, health care applications…

Transport planners and engineers frequently face the challenge to determine the best design for a specific junction. Many road design manuals provide guidelines for the design and evaluation of different junction alternatives, however these mostly refer to specialized software in which the performances of design alternatives can be modelled. In the first stage of the…

Finding similarity of textual data is very important task in natural language processing. In this article we present approach to finding similarity of words, paragraphs, sentences and documents. Semantic similarity is one of the central tasks in many applications, including text summarization, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) etc. In ITS sentence similarity is used to compare…

Today, computing devices of various types with wireless interconnections are used for diverse tasks and increasingly in ad hoc manners. It is not always obvious which devices are present, reachable, and connected when users and their devices are mobile. In such mobile computing environment, the number of registered lines on the network via network operators…

This study applies systemic functional linguistics (SFL) as complementary framework of analysis of technology acceptance models (TAMs). The purpose is to bridge research methodology language in international business (IB) studies and engineering management science. Currently TAMs and its consolidated version, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) provides for a typology of…

The aim of this paper is to derive and study a full-bridge three-port converter. Based on the standard design of full-bridge converter, we have modeled and derived a three port converter. The three port converter can be used in renewable energy scenarios, such as solar cells or wind turbines connected to the input port. The…

E-Money mobile payments, also called digital money, are electronic payments, payment transactions using an Internet network integrated with NFC-enabled smartphones and prepaid cards. In Indonesia not only banks that issue e-money products, telecom operators from Telkomsel also issued an e-money product called T-cash. T-cash is a new innovation of electronic money presented by Telkomsel. The…

Mobile broadband has gained momentum with the growing demand of user data rates. Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is the step in mobile communications evolution, developed to satisfy high data rate demand, and meet better spectral efficiency requirements. Effective radio resource management and inter cell interferences are the major challenges. Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) is…

Cloud computing allows users and enterprises to process their data in high performance servers, thus reducing the need for advanced hardware at the client side. Although local processing is viable in many cases, collecting data from multiple clients and processing them in a server gives the best possible performance in terms of processing rate. In…

Solving the Unit Commitment problem (UCP) optimizes the combination of production units operations and determines the appropriate operational scheduling of each production units to satisfy the expected consumption which varies from one day to one month. Besides, each production unit is conducted to constraints that render this problem complex, combinatorial and nonlinear. In this paper,…

The world’s pollution rates have been increasing exponentially due to the many reckless lifestyle practices of human beings as well as their choices of contaminating power sources. Eventually, this lead to a worldwide awareness on the risks of those power sources, and in turn, a movement towards the exploration and deployment of several green technologies…

Two technology trends – a move toward software defined capabilities and toward networked devices – support both unprecedented innovations and requirements for security. A fundamental aspect of security is user authentication, which allows devices and software applications to establish their user’s identity and identity is in turn used to establish which of its capabilities the…

The automotive industry has focused to use polymer materials in order to increase energy efficiency. So, the industry pays attention to use 3D printing technologies using several polymers. Among several 3D printer technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the popular 3D printing technologies due to an inexpensive extrusion machine and multi-material printing. FDM…

Remote control switching device for household application is a home device used to control the switching of household appliances from a distance. It serves to make the switching of household appliances easy for the elderly, physically challenged, the young and anyone who, in any circumstance, needs comfort and security. This paper develops a remote control…

Radiation hardened devices are mostly extremely expensive. The continuously downscaling of microelectronic structures and the unavoidable presence of particle radiation on ground and in space leads to unwanted failures in electronic devices. Furthermore it is expected that in the next few years around 8000 new satellites will be launched around the world. Due to the…

Cloud providers seek to maximize their market share. Traditionally, they deploy datacenters with sufficient capacity to accommodate their entire computing demand while maintaining geographical affinity to its customers. Achieving these goals by a single cloud provider is increasingly unrealistic from a cost of ownership perspective. Moreover, the carbon emissions from underutilized datacenters place an increasing…
