As many digital documents are required in various environments, paper documents are digitized by scanner, fax, digital camera and specific software. In the case of a scanned document, we need to check whether the document is right sided or upside down because the orientation of the scanned document is determined by the orientation in which…

All trucks heading into the paper mill MONDI, Slovakia, have to pass an automatic security check. It controls if storage of its wood load meets all standards of safety. Each truck is scanned by a group of 2D scanners. After that the inspection of timber load is done by a software with use of the…

In the software engineering research, several works focus on advantages of multi-modeling, which facilitate modeling a system by separating of concerns. The Model Driven Engineering approach relies on model to design software artefacts during the software development lifecycle. Handling such models involves describing some model management operators like ‘ composition ‘. That is an operation…

This study built and tested a research model to determine the determinants that impact students’ actual use of the learning management system. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data from 148 university students who used LMS in their course of study. The structural equation model was used to analyze quantitative data. The study revealed…

In this study, a theoretical simulation was performed using the Schrodinger-Poisson method to elucidate the formation factors for two-dimensional electron gas in InGaAs-based HEMTs. No visible change was observed in the carrier density and the potential shape. The inflection point of the energy level and the agreement of the energy level in each dimension were…

Object Instance Recognition aims to classify objects specifically and usually use a single reference image. It is possible to be used in many applications such as visual search, information retrieval and augmented reality. However, various things affect the appearance of the objects, which makes the recognition process harder, especially if a single reference image is…

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have begun rapidly adopting, selecting and implementing ERP systems due to the call by various governments to streamline their processes and practices. While ERPs are expanding at much faster rate, there is pressure on most HEIs to ensure quality. For quality model, ISO/IEC 25010 is an international standard for software and…

In this paper, the vulnerabilities and the security attacks against vehicular networks, SDN architecture and some security solutions for SDVN are studied. Secondly, a complete and improved version of the secure HSDN-GRA routing protocol based on a distributed trust model is proposed where public keys of the vehicles are managed in a distributed way. Besides,…

Flash memory reliability and the performance have been confirmed as an improvement in the storage subsystem technological advancement, especially in supporting an embedded system solution. Conversely, the main constraint of the storage device is the erase-before-write characteristic in handling both write and re-write I/O operations. More attention must be taken into consideration to handle both…

Fraud, as regards means of payment, means the behavior of any legal or natural one that makes an abnormal or irregular use of a way of payment, elements of it or information contained therein, to improperly obtain an honest, service or enrichment, and or causing financial damage to the one that has distributed the means…

Jeju Island is the largest island of South Korea and has an independent electric supply system. The island has a special energy plan that realizes itself a carbon-free region by 2030. Wind and solar energy resources are considered as an important means. The introduction of weather-variable renewable energy generation sources into the electric power system…

Vibrotactile feedback is increasingly becoming an essential feedback component in several non-medical and medical areas. One area that vibrotactile feedback has not been explored as an intervention tool is in sports science. In addition, vibrotactile feedback lacks scientific evidence as a feedback mechanism within the sports world. A portable vibrotactile feedback system was developed to…

Time-series is a sequence of observations that are taken sequentially over time. Modelling a system that generates a future value from past observations is considered as time-series forecasting system. Recurrent neural network is a machine learning method that is widely used in the prediction of future values. Due to variant improvements on recurrent neural networks,…

This paper presents a collaborative interaction model (CIAO) and several behaviour rules that could enhance brainstorming results. The model is composed of five elements which may be used during brainstorming sessions, consisting of activities performed by partici- pants which are characteristic of different modes of interaction. Some sequences of these interactions may be considered more…

Blurred small objects produced by cropping, warping, or intrinsically so, are challenging to detect and classify. Therefore, much recent research is focused on feature extraction built on Faster R-CNN and follow-up systems. In particular, RPN, SPP, FPN, SSD, and DSSD are the layered feature extraction methods for multiple object detections and small objects. However, super-resolution…

Mobile banking and mobile payment are currently always used by customers for financial payments. With customer payments, it is usually easier to make payments with mobile payment, because it is more practical and direct than mobile banking. However, is the privacy of both platforms understood by the customer? Research questions to be answered: 1) What…

The goal of this research work is first to investigate the comparison between a batch and a continuous pyrolysis reactor (at 500, 550 and 600 °C) and the eventual differences and similarities that are obtained by analysing the obtained liquid and gas compositions. All the products formed were examined: liquids by GC-MS/FID and Karl Fischer…

This is era of new technology; most of information is collected from internet, web sites. Some people uses data from research papers, thesis, and website as it is and publish as their own research without giving proper acknowledgement. This term is known as plagiarism. There are two types of plagiarism detection methods, i) Extrinsic plagiarism…

The reformation of energy hubs has significantly augmented the apprehensions about the levels of dependency between different energy sources which often can also be discussed as independent systems conventionally. This research brings focus on the formulation and analysis of an integrated system with bi-directional energy conversions and its effects on the stability of the system…

Bull service is the natural copulation by a purebred male carabao with a female counterpart. This is part of the bull loan agenda of the Philippine Carabao Center-Visayas State University (PCC-VSU), one of the 12 regional centers of PCC. For the past years, PCC-VSU used averaging of bull services count of previous years and sometimes…

Nowadays the buildings sector is one of the key sectors to achieve sustainability, with the correspondent consumers, in particular, the household consumers, having the need to perform sustainable choices every day, regarding the appliances to be acquired from the market. This is not only due to government’s growing concerns about sustainability but also with the…

Unreinforced masonry (URM) wall is one of the oldest types of walls used around the world. During earthquakes, URM walls present a real danger to life safety due to their behavior characterized by a brittle failure caused by their feeble shear resistance to in-plane loads, which make their strengthening necessary. Numerous studies had been used…

This paper investigates the in plane behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls externally strengthening on both sides by different configurations of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of using the strengthening systems to improve the in plane behavior of masonry walls, the experimental program was conducted by testing…

In this article, a new form of UWB (ultra-wide-band) antenna operating to the desired specifications, obtained from a base antenna to which some modifications are made. The proximity of the antennas causes a mutual coupling phenomenon thus generating an apparent modification of their characteristics. It is therefore crucial to have the minimum level of insulation…
