The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the influence of hospital logistics on quality of care and patient satisfaction. Hospital logistics was assessed by considering five factors in the patient pathway, namely: physical accessibility of care, waiting time, consultation time, administrative procedures and hospital hotel services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, following an interview…

In recent years, researchers have focused on the development of many applications of information and communication which could lead to enhance human life. The congestion and road traffic are one of the most problems facing the ambulance transportation to provide fast healthcare services for patients. In this work, a tracking and data transfer system has…

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) for remote sensing image data is a tedious process due to high resolution and complexity of image interpretation. Development of feature extraction technique is a major portion to represent the image content in an optimal way. In this paper, we propose a feature descriptor which combines the color coherent pixel…

Through the Electrical Discharge Machining, the temperature is very high, which can lead to the material phase’s transformation and affects material properties, which can lead to failure of the products in the industry. This study aims to investigate the effect of a new input parameter (pulse cycle time Tc), with other parameters on the EDM…

This article presents an analysis on the existing correlation of the specific and global performance of teachers in UNTELS engineering schools, whose data collection was carried out during the development of the first academic semester of the year 2019, using the Survey technique; which presents indicators classified in two dimensions: “Specific Dimension of Teaching Performance”…

Fingerprint data is really protected by cancelable fingerprint template because it can be revoked when compromise and a new one can be reissued. We develop a touchless cancelable fingerprint template whose algorithm was published in our previous work. We implement here the algorithm and conducted several tests on several databases to confirm the stability of…

The diversity of manuscripts according to their contents, forms, organizations and presentations provides a data-rich structures. The aim is to disseminate this cultural heritage in the images format to the general public via digital libraries. However, handwriting is an obstacle to text recognition algorithms in images, especially cursive writing of Arabic calligraphy. Most current search…

Photovoltaic systems and monitoring go hand in hand. There is no better way to check the health of your photovoltaic system than to utilize a remote monitoring system. Monitoring and tracking of photovoltaic systems are crucial for reliable functioning and optimal yield of any solar electric system. This paper aims to introduce a remote electronic…

The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement. The research was quantitative, and data was administered and retrieved from employees at the selected private radio firms. Content validity was utilised to ascertain the validity of the instrument, and the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach’s…

The IEEE802.11n based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have been extensively deployed due to the flexible coverage, the easy installation, and the lower cost. To reduce the energy consumption while increasing the performance, the elastic WLAN system has been studied, such that it can dynamically change the network configuration according to traffic demands. As well,…

This paper proposed a frequency bandwidth required for the Control and Non-Payload Communications (CNPC) in autonomous operations of the Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS). The issue was to seek a radio spectrum to meet future demand for safe operations of autonomous ship at sea. As described in Document 5B/841 of ITU-R SG, safe navigation of…

The problem of planning and location of loading/unloading (L/U) areas attracting interest from several researchers. This is mainly because of the heterogeneity of information and the great complexity of logistics flows. Among the projects of the urban logistics in Morocco, the L/U areas represent an essential importance in the deliveries to the centers of the…

The integrating model becomes one of key trends in engineering design. The more the product has functional specifications, the more the industrial consumer apply in many fields. In this paper, a fusion design of architecture platform for autonomous system is demonstrated. It is greater due to combining the specifications of various types in commercial market…

Dysphoria is a state faced when one experienced disappointment. If it is not handled properly, dysphoria may trigger acute stress, anxiety and depression. Typically, the individual who experienced dysphoria are in-denial because dysphoria is always being associated with negative connotations such as incompetency to handle pressure, weak personality and lack of will power. To date,…

The paper deals with hardware emulation of bio-inspired devices and nonlinear dynamic processes of complex nature by means of mixed-mode analog-digital emulators. The discretized state model of the emulated system serves for real-time calculation of dependent quantities. In contrast to input-output emulation known in control systems, the proposed approach emulates the ports of an electrical…

Tactile displays are widely used in the rehabilitation and education of blind persons, as it is one of the media of communication amongst them. Tactile display performance is measured in terms of accuracy in presenting pattern, accuracy in identification, recognition and reading time of presented pattern. However, it has had meager attention from researchers. This…
