A systematic study of classical features and optimizers with different iterations of parametrized circuits is presented. The study of the weather behind the dam is based…

The present work shows the development of a data collection platform that allows the researcher to collect new video and voice data sets in Spanish. It also allows the application of a standardized personality test and stores this information to analyze the effectiveness of the automatic personality recognizers concerning the results of a standardized personality…

Different colleges and universities have different approaches to dealing with low-performance learners. However, in most cases, analgesics do not deal with root problems. This research suggests a model of three layers of variables sequentially adaptable to a deep-root issue. The suggested model can identify early pupils who could be at risk because of inaccurate or…

In recent years the development of autonomous vehicles has increased tremendously and a variety of methodologies had been applied to make them more safe and secure. This work shows a multilevel approach combining Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis of an autonomous railway system with sociological and technical aspects to support safe operations and human-machine…

Aging is considered to be a complex process in almost every species’ life, which can be studied at a variety of levels of abstraction as well as in different organs. Not surprisingly, biometric characteristics from facial images play a significant role in predicting human’s age. Specifically, automatic age estimation in real-time situation has begun to…

Owing to technological development, the internet has become the world’s largest platform where an unaccountable amount of e-news information is freely available to use. Most of the time, e-newspaper readers have to examine the massive collection of e-news articles to locate necessary information relevant to them. Massive semi-structured and unstructured texts usually mislead the readers…

The emergence of blockchain technology has facilitated the digital transformation of many businesses and thereby increased the competitiveness of China in the global market. As a cutting-edge technology, Blockchain has significantly influenced the practices across all business sectors. Focusing on the retail and insurance sectors, this paper analyzes the blockchain technology applications in two companies…

In the time past, virtually all the contemporary communication systems depend on distinct source and channel encoding schemes for data transmission. Irrespective of the recorded success of the distinct schemes, the new developed scheme known as joint source channel coding technique has proven to have technically outperformed the conventional schemes. The aim of the study…
