High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) was widely used for treating tumors non-invasively. In this treatment, ultrasound is focused on the target volume inside the human body to ablate cancerous tissues and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is mainly used to grasp the target position and to measure the temperature distributions around the target. However, MRI is…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…

The heath-care sector has confronted significant difficulties in the past few years due to several issues such as insufficient human resources, budget cuts, and shortage of equipment and drugs. The logistics in the health-care sector take an extensive part of the budget, especially since it is the main axis to provide the hospital’s pharmacies with…

Despite that groundwater is an important and vital water resource, it is not well managed; depletion of aquifers around the world due to overexploitation is of serious concern especially in arid regions where the situation is much more alarming. Tafilalet plain in Morocco which belongs to this type of environment is certainly no exception and…

The 5G, as a new source of telecommunication infrastructure technology, has attracted many stakeholders to promote the progress of its standards and the development of its technology industry. The 5G reinforces new technologies and delivers vehicles for everything services (V2X) to drivers and passengers. It also offers several advantages. On the other hand, due to…

Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is an integral device for tracking, protection, and regulation of the power network. PMU gives synchronised calculations of actual-time data for voltage phasor, current phasor, and the frequency. Placing PMU in every node to observe the power network is not realistic from an economic standpoint and even for big data management.…

The population living in the residential area in two villages, including Pohuwato village and Pohuwato Timur village, are mostly fishermen, who live under the poverty line, meaning that the people there have low income. The objective of the present study was to explore the living condition in terms of the physical, social, and economic aspects…

According to IEC 61805 and ISO 26262 standards requirement inclusion of LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) became mandatory to achieve safety critical application such as automotive field. In such systems, once device is switched ON LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) is activated and testing of digital logic is performed. After safety subsystem says that the…

Academic certifications are achievements desired by people, because they have a direct impact, positively, on their social lives. Such an important document, still widely issued in paper format, may be subject to forgery or impossibility of verification due to the unavailability of the issuing entity. This work consists of identifying, analyzing and testing some of…

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…

In a radial distribution system, component failure leads to service interruption and subsequent disconnection of a few load points. An abnormal variation in the voltage levels and high power loss gives rise to reliability issues. In this work, feeder reconfiguration is performed to improve reliability, minimize voltage deviation and power loss. A Binary Particle Swarm…

This paper describes methods of eliminating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) non-destructively, using Electronic Warfare Methods. The aim is to introduce certain methods of UAV detection and elimination in a complex environment and terrain, e.g., in an urban and battlefield environment, that will result in finding the control device position and the UAV itself. Neural networks,…

In recent decades, the challenge of managing the development teams spread across different time zones has become increasingly common, raising the importance of the development of Global Software Development (GSD) techniques, in order to tackle its particular problems. This work discuss these issues in the context of Sidia, an R&D institute which implements technological solutions…

Wind energy is emerged rapidly as the most important and viable sustainable power source due to the mature technology and wide availability. The integration of wind energy sources and utilization of nonlinear loads having different characteristics results in several challenges in a distribution system. One of which is power quality issue .Hence, in this work,…

The fast-paced development of smart technologies and the prevalence of vehicles, created an urgent demands to study and improve safety issues related to driving. In order to reduce traffic accidents, driving behavior was found to be very important issues to study and investigate. Recently, the advent and widespread of smartphone platforms with advanced computing competence…

This research sought to measure some socio-political indicators using millions of opinionated messages from social network sourced big data. Thus, and using an enhanced mixed method for sentiment analysis and a fusion model algorithm to infer topics from short text, this study attempted to demonstrate the value of computational approaches in measuring some phenomena in…

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is broadly accepted and has proved applicable in identifying consumers’ willingness to utilize information and communication technology (ICT). The theory proposes that Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) are actually determining factors of individual attitudes, while attitude is a determining factor of Behavioural Intention (BI) and Behavioural Intention…

Logistics is a science and art that has been widely used by large commercial chains, whose main objectives focus on the distribution of products or services. This understanding has generated various logistics studies directed towards those businesses, without considering that science can also be applied to small or medium enterprises. The present study initially executes…

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…

The revolution in the electrification of conventional vehicles due to increased petroleum prices and environmental concerns has had its impact on three-wheeler vehicles as well. Motorized three-wheeled vehicles, known as Auto-rickshaws, are a standard mode of trans- portation in India. Existing battery operated electric rickshaws (known as E-rickshaws) available in major cities of India faces…

The Covid-19 is a pandemic issue that is causing widespread global disruption forcing lockdowns in many countries including Malaysia as an effort in disconnecting the virus from spreading.
