Day to day huge medical data have been accumulating for diabetic diseases. The complexity of storing, processing ,analyzing and predicting the data related to diabetics is not so easy for healthcare professionals .The prediction of accurate results also has the limitation due to scale of data increasing worldwide for patients, symptoms and test results .In…

With the features of the application system make it easier for users to transact, make the user feel comfortable in using the application system. The problem is that the intensity of application usage decreases judging by the application rating given by the user each time they perform a transaction, this is because the company initially…

The need to update the news at this time is very important. Journalists have responsibilities as their job. Apart from conveying the correct news to the public, they must also deliver it quickly. Journalists who are tasked as news seekers must always be updated about the latest news that is viral, therefore a journalist must…

In an intelligent transportation system (ITS), time is a big challenge since processing a huge amount of data in a short time is very difficult, especially when the processed data is heterogeneous, consisting of a mixture of emergency data, normal data, and noise. In an ITS, an ambulance is one of the priority vehicles, and…

The current online shopping system does not provide the actual shopping experience to the users where they scroll through the web pages and select an item to purchase, which becomes monotonous soon and lacks the shopping experience. This paper describes the development of the SmartMart, a 3D shopping mart where the user can navigate around…

In this study, Taguchi method and ANOVA that are applied to determine the influence of several input parametrs on cutting force amplitude (F), vibration acceleration amplitude (a), and machining productivity (P) in the five-axis finish milling process of the spiral bevel gear. Taguchi orthogonal L27 array is used to design the experimental matrix with 27…

Discrete component based ultra-wideband SPDT switch modelling, design and implementation challenges are reported in this article. The basic SPDT switch is planned to design using PIN diodes (bare die). Nonlinear parameters extraction steps of PIN diode from datasheets have been proposed in this article instead of using readymade nonlinear PIN diode models. Equalizers are designed…

Due to the advent of cloud computing and Internet of Things, smart meters have become a crucial part of smart cities. Smart meters generate vast amounts of fine-grained data that can immediately provide useful information to electricity consumers, such as automatic billing, load monitoring, and dynamic time pricing. This will make the electricity consumers more…

The Internet of Things (IoT) application has been experiencing increasingly progressive demand, especially for embedded devices (ED). However, the ED has limited capabilities, low power consumption resources, and low bandwidth in connecting to the Internet by using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the WSNs form creates a necessity for new technologies and protocols for the…

There is currently an overload of information on the internet, and this makes information search a challenging task. Researchers spend a lot of man-hour searching for journals related to their areas of research interest that can publish their research output on time. In, this study, a recommender system that can assist researchers access relevant journals…

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.…
