With the advent of Big Data, we are witnessing a rapid and varied production of huge amounts of sequential data that can have multiple dimensions, we speak of data streams. The characteristics of these data streams make their processing and storage very difficult and at the same time reduce the possibilities of querying them a…

Quantum logic gates represent certain quantum operations to perform quantum computations. Of those quantum gates, there is a category of classical behavior gates called quantum permutation gates. As a quantum algorithm, quantum permutation pad or QPP consists of multiple quantum permutation gates to be implemented both in a quantum computing system as a quantum circuit…

In devices using Windows operating system based on x86 system, the real-time performance is not guaranteed by Windows. It is because Windows is not a real-time operating system. Users who develop applications in such a Windows environment generally use commercial solutions such as the RTX or the INtime to provide real-time performance to the system.…

The intention of this research is to study and design an automated agriculture commodity price prediction system with novel machine learning techniques. Due to the increasing large amounts historical data of agricultural commodity prices and the need of performing accurate prediction of price fluctuations, the solution has largely shifted from statistical methods to machine learning…

Stepping-stone intrusion has been widely used by professional hackers to launch their attacks. Unfortunately, this important and typical offensive skill has not been taught in most colleges and universities. In this paper, after surveying the most popular detection techniques in stepping-stone intrusion, we develop 10 hands-on labs to enhance student-learning experience in cybersecurity education. The…

The energy states, transitions chances, oscillator intensities, and collision intensities were computed with FAC (fully relativistic flexible atomic code) program. The calculated results were utilized for identification of the reduced population to sixty-nine thin structural states in C-like Zn (XXV) and indicates the gain coefficients with several electron densities (from 10+20 to 10+22 cm3) and…

To effectively implement the social distancing or digital contact tracing in epidemic using an RSSI-based localization approach through Bluetooth beacon is one of the most widely used technologies, but simply using RSSI measurement is not more relevant because the RF signal is affected by several factors and the environment of usage. Traditional distance or positioning…

This paper presents the designs and the simulations of proposed structures of electronically frequency reconfigurable planar bow-tie antenna. In the first part, a modified wide band self-complementary bow-tie antenna is designed and implemented. In the second part, varactor and PIN diodes are integrated in top side to adjust electronically the modified structure of bow-tie antenna…

This paper addresses the stock management aspect. Through this work, we provide a dynamic model of dimensioning and allocation of stocks to storage location for the automotive industry field. This model takes into consideration all constraints of the supply chain (24 constraints) from the suppliers passing by production, storage up to customer delivery and transport.…

This study evaluated the competencies related to digital information use through technological tools aiming to acquire applicable knowledge by searching and retrieving information. Methodologically, a quasi-experimental design without a control group was applied to a sample of primary education students from Chile (n=266). First, a diagnosis of the digital-informational skills is performed, and, later, the…

There is no doubt that energy is one of the most important requirements of life, and its importance increases with the passage of time, and this is what make countries to harness the capabilities and scientists in developing energy systems of all kinds, one of the most important energy systems these days is what is…

Survivability of systems is a very important system property and consists major concern for organizations and companies. Survivable systems should maintain their critical services functional in a timely manner. There are several approaches, proposed in the literature, on how to develop survivable telecommunication systems, but the majority is based on node outages or path failures,…

Humans have experienced motion sickness and possessed the knowledge of stereopsis since classical antiquity. Knowledge of stereopsis dates back to approximately 300 B.C., when Euclid first recognized the concept of depth perception in human vision. Further, the motion sickness is including a sensation of wooziness and nausea that has been documented since approximately 400 B.C.,…

Combinatorial software testing is regarded as a crucial part when it comes to the software development life cycle. However, it would be impractical to exhaustive test highly configurable software due to limited time as well as resources. Moreover, a combinatorial testing strategy would be to employ input-output-based relations (IORs) due to its benefits versus other…

Educators should be considered the learning style of students so that the best practice approach can be applied in learning activities. As students understand their learning style, they will be able to integrate it into their learning process. Kolb Learning Style was the learning style that was widely used based on the theory of learning…

The importance of rare earth resources is increasing and a lot of investigations are conducting all over the world. As a result, it was discovered that abundant deep-sea mud contained rare-earth elements on the deep-sea floor. The suction mining method can be one of the effective seabed mining methods to recover these seafloor sediments. However,…
