This paper is an extension of work originally presented in PM2.5 Prediction-based Weather Forecast Information and Missingness Challenges: A Case Study Industrial and Metropolis Areas, which focused on imputation algorithm to solve missingness challenge and demonstrated a basic prediction system to prove the proposed algorithm, II-MPA. Distributed and decentralized systems, recently, have been proven for…

Learning styles studies have been discussed widely in academic field. It can be considered as a factor that contributes to the achievement of the students in their learning because everyone has a unique learning style when learning. In this paper, we aimed to examine the association of learning styles and attitude towards academic achievement. By…

In order to balance the power in intelligent distribution networks (Smart Grid or Microgrid), it is proposed to organize a «multi operated virtual power plant». The resources of active and reactive power for which can be obtained using an AC voltage controller with a phase-angle control for regulation of operating modes of the ohmic load…

Online transactions make it easy for people to get products or sell the products through online applications. The success and failure of online sales depends on how satisfied and loyal the customer is to the service of the product or business which can certainly influence and increase competition between the online sales industry. Based on…

The fast-paced development of smart technologies and the prevalence of vehicles, created an urgent demands to study and improve safety issues related to driving. In order to reduce traffic accidents, driving behavior was found to be very important issues to study and investigate. Recently, the advent and widespread of smartphone platforms with advanced computing competence…

Nowadays, smartphones and laptops equipped with cameras have become an integral part of our daily lives. The pervasive use of cameras enables the collection of an enormous amount of data, which can be easily extracted through video images processing. This opens up the possibility of using technologies that until now had been restricted to laboratories,…

This research sought to measure some socio-political indicators using millions of opinionated messages from social network sourced big data. Thus, and using an enhanced mixed method for sentiment analysis and a fusion model algorithm to infer topics from short text, this study attempted to demonstrate the value of computational approaches in measuring some phenomena in…

An experimental study regarding structural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete footing was conducted on six full scale reinforced concrete footings, strengthened with concrete jacketing under concentric and eccentric loads. The footings had constant dimensions and flexural steel reinforcement which was designed to prevent brittle failure due to crushing of concrete before steel yielding. Concrete jacketing…

The main advantage of software-defined visible light communication (VLC) systems is that they allow us to reuse modulation, coding, synchronization and medium access techniques used in conventional radio systems. This article focuses on the implementation of an uplink alternative using an infrared (IR) light communication system. For this goal, analog front-ends are designed and implemented.…

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is broadly accepted and has proved applicable in identifying consumers’ willingness to utilize information and communication technology (ICT). The theory proposes that Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) are actually determining factors of individual attitudes, while attitude is a determining factor of Behavioural Intention (BI) and Behavioural Intention…

Technology is advancing faster today than ever before with evidence of its impact in all facets of our lives.
