The study aimed to understand and analyze the technological and innovation performance measures of the Nepalese cellular telecommunications industry from the customers’ perspective. The measures like network service quality, signal strength and coverage, voice quality, and calls drop are used for technological performance, whereas measures like product/service innovation, process innovation, customization, competitive innovation, and marketing…

Empathy is an attribute of importance between the nursing professional and the patient, where it influences the recovery of their health. Several studies carried out have shown worrying results where they reflect a great decrease in empathy during the formative academic years. The objective of the study is to determine empathy in nursing interns from…

A new method of analysis and classification of rock acoustic emission signals is proposed. It is based on symbol description of signals and involves the following processing. First, signal segments containing pulses are detected. Second, noise of the detected pulses is reduced by the wavelet filtration method. Fourth-order symlets and adaptive threshold scheme based on…

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…

Complete manual annotation of dependency treebank needs resources like annotators and annotation tools and takes long time and has high possibility of inconsistent annotations for free word order languages such as Myanmar. This paper describes a dependency head annotation scheme with Universal part-of-speech and Universal Dependencies for Myanmar dependency treebank. Currently 22,810 sentences and 680,218…

This study used 15 VECM analysis models to analyze the relationship among exchange rates of South Korea, China and Japan; and between exchange rates of each country and international financial market variables. The analysis variables are the Won, Yuan, Yen spot exchange rates and international financial market variables. The results of the analysis are as…

One drawback of the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem with the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is that the origin of the network cannot be clearly defined. In addition, it is not possible to specify internal relationship between criteria and sub-criteria. The application of Design Structure Matrix (DSM) with the Partitioning Reachability Matrix method resulted…

Transformer health assessment techniques, based on applicable standards, such as the dissolved gas analysis (DGA), through laboratory testing or online monitoring are used to analyze the symptoms of a failure which develops in transformers from an early stage. The DGA from a sample of dielectric liquid taken from the main tank generates information on the…

The main objective of this research is to analyze the impact that the implementation of a strategic plan would have on achieving the competitiveness of the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that are dedicated to bottling, marketing and distributing water in the city of Los Mochis. It is intended to offer a tool to…

Until recent years, code quality was not given due significance, as long as the system produced accurate results. Taking into account the implications and recent losses in critical systems, developers have started making use of static code analysis tools, to assess the eminence of source code in terms of quality. Static code analysis is conducted…

A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented to visualize the multipaths generated by COST 2100 channel model (C2CM) and the results of clustering the wireless propagation multipaths using Modified Simultaneous Clustering and Model Selection (MSCAMSMA). The usual practice of authors is to show their data and results using figures, tables, and graphs which are already…

Nowadays, smartphones and laptops equipped with cameras have become an integral part of our daily lives. The pervasive use of cameras enables the collection of an enormous amount of data, which can be easily extracted through video images processing. This opens up the possibility of using technologies that until now had been restricted to laboratories,…

Project completion is a common and best practice for oil and gas and construction industry. It provides a comprehensive completion approach and gives total confidence to asset owner to operate the facility handed over by construction contractors. While the nature variation of asset hierarchy is unique from one type of asset to another, a project…

In this paper we are demonstrating the importance of building and achieving a renewable electrical power system that works in synchronization with the grid. The average of consumption, generation and the negative environmental effect of generating power were analyzed. This paper is divided into three parts, one was analyzed with Green Building Studio software and…

In this paper, a portable Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system was designed and implemented for human movements and breathing detection. The radar operates with a frequency band ranges from 4.7 to 4.9GHz. The radar sub-systems were designed and simulated using up to date computer-aided-design tools before implementation. The Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO), high…

Lately, the use of mobile learning has increased in higher education at a global level. Especially after the new Coronavirus (Covid-19). Therefore, trust issues towards the benefits of mobile learning are still important matters just as important as quality dimensions (e.g. service quality, information quality and system quality) for both technology and its content. These…

This paper presents a research about the modelling of surface roughness in the grinding process. Based on the analyzed results about the surface roughness models from the previous studies, this study was performed to develop a surface roughness model in the grinding process. The surface roughness model is proposed with two hypotheses about the shape…

The undulated power supply has dropped to its worst reliability index in most parts of the city despite the installations of distribution transformers to improve the power. In this work, examination of Port Harcourt Town Zone 4 (Z4), Rivers State power distribution system forcing on its operation, planning for future expansion of the system, and…

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) is among the most important crops in the world. High and stable grain yield in diverse environments is the major objective in durum breeding programs. This trait is linked to the quantitative trait loci (QTL). For the detection of QTL linked to the grain yield, it is necessary…

Stop and Wait (SW) ARQ, Go Back N (GBN) ARQ, and Selective Repeat (SR) ARQ are the main ARQ (Automatic-Repeat-reQuest) protocols used to ensure reliable delivery of digital data at correct sequence.
