Proportional cluster sampling was applied, and 1466 freshmen from thirteen faculties participated. Data clustering and imputation of…

The web documents are automatically interacting to discover the information by web mining, which is one of the applications of Cloud Computing (CC) technologies. These documents may be in the form of structured, semi-structured, or unstructured formats. In current web technologies, the Semantic Web is an extension for better enabling the people and computers to…

In recent years water treatment methods under pressurized systems have been considered as the optimum high-rate filtration techniques. Unpressurized-slow sand filtration can be the cheapest and most efficient method, among others. This research aims to test the performance of a reliable seawater filtration system, using three different iterations. The filters have been designed considering many…

This paper describes a qualitative research design adopted in this study guided by deployment of a Grounded Theory (GT) methodology which was deployed to synthesize literature on technology adoption and digital transformation with an objective of developing theory. The philosophical worldview adopted was interpretivism/constructivist of a qualitative grounded theory inductive (theory building) approach where secondary…

The literature shows a growing interest in taking into account human and organizational factors (HOFs) to achieve safe and successful human performance by reducing the risk of errors. In this sense, the concept of maturity models aims to help companies in the integration of these factors by assessing the current level of maturity and define…

This study tests the feasibility of manufacturing concrete blocks made of recycled materials. The paper is an extension of work originally presented in ASET conference in Dubai. The paper, depicts and analyzes how the characteristics of the blocks (strength/durability) are affected by the presence of recycled concrete ingredients (recycled aggregate (RA)) and recycled water (RW).…

This is a report describing the impact of calcination on the morphological and optical properties of nanoparticles Iron doped-nickel oxide. By synthetic precipitation, the technique makes use of it. Three samples have been calcined in different temperatures and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy…

The study aims to verify the capacity of Facebook Translation Service in translating English Facebook posts into Arabic in terms of two criteria: adequacy and fluency in line with the Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) scales. To ensure consistency and objectivity as recommended by TAUS, six evaluators, native speakers of Arabic and near-native speakers of…

Everyone needs fast response or output against its request or need. Therefore, technologies are used to make the processing fast and accurate according to our needs. But in some situations, still we need to do more. Especially, when we need to process a massive or huge crowd of people in limited time frame such as…

Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) network is an integration of fiber optic and wireless connections in the same network. It is one of the best solutions to overcome rapid increment of Internet users and bandwidth-hungry services. To facilitate fundamental knowledge and further understanding on FiWi for students and researchers at the university level, this article proposes the development…

In this work we propose an algorithm for Peruvian counterfeit banknotes detection. Our algorithm operates in banknotes with 50, 100 and 200 soles denominations that were manufactured from 2009 onwards. This algorithm offers an automatic diagnosis based on digital image processing and support vector machines (SVM). Current Peruvian counterfeit detection systems are specially designed to…

Despite the significant progress made in data mining technologies in recent years, breast cancer risk prediction and diagnosis at an early stage using DNA microarray technology still a real challenging task. This challenge comes especially from the high-dimensionality in gene expression data, i.e., an enormous number of genes versus a few tens of subjects (samples).…

This article presents an analytical model of a single-phase ferromagnetic core power in- ductor (reactor) based on a magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC). The MEC model consists of magnetomotive forces (MMFs) and reluctances for all flux paths: magnetic core and leakage flux paths. The MEC elements are found established on the characteristics of the ferromagnetic material…

Harmful algal blooms (HAB) or “Red tides” are organisms which produce toxins which are harmful to humans, fish, and other marine mammals. The said toxins come from dinoflagellates of genus Pyrodinium Bahamense var Compressum that cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) and Dinophysis Caudata and Prorocentrum lima which results to Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP). In the…

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…

Modulation type classification is a part of waveform estimation required to employ spectrum sharing scenarios like dynamic spectrum access that allow more efficient spectrum utilization. In this work multiple classification features, feature extraction, and classification algorithms for modulation type classification have been studied and compared in terms of classification speed and accuracy to suggest the…

The phasor Measurement Unit is a modern tracking tool mounted on a network to track and manage power systems. PMU is accurate and time-synchronized device that gives voltage phasor measurements in nodes and current phasor measurements connected to those nodes where the PMU is installed. This study introduces the Genetic Algorithm for optimization of allocation…

In this COVID-19 pandemic, it has been registered that children with autism are not learning properly with this virtual modality in Peruvian education. The main objective of this research work is to design a mobile application with augmented reality so that autistic children can improve their cognitive development in their virtual and face-to-face classes, the…

Vehicle accidents, particularly in small and large urban areas, are rising tremendously day by day worldwide. As a recent research subject in automaton transportation, the subsequent collision has become a vital issue and emergency. Internet of things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have become very popular these days because of their versatility, and…

“This paper is an extension of work originally presented in the 4th International Conference on Systems of Collaboration, Big Data, Internet of Things & Security -SysCoBIoTS’19”. The use of complex and dynamic systems modelling to social systems is quite recent and its pertinence in the case of an educational system is continually increasing. For the…

This paper has conducted the study of the impact and effectiveness of Google Classroom in online teaching and learning. Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2), the first aim was to rank the 8 constructs namely: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, Habit, Behavioral Intention, and…

The widespread team project method is more effective when used in conjunction with heuristic methods. The large number of heuristic methods and the variety of their descriptions create a problem to prepare students for the use of these methods. A method based on two areas of knowledge – heuristics and psychology – is proposed. The…
