Fault-tolerant applications are created by replicating the software or hardware component in a distributed system. Communications are normally carried out over an Ethernet network to interact with the distributed/replicated system, ensuring atomic multicast properties. However, there are situations in which it is not possible to guarantee that the replicas process the same data set in…

This paper is carrying out a practical identification of a DC servomotor from input and output data. The system’s step response was obtained from an acquisition card that we have developed using a microcontroller. The data is collected and downloaded to the PC Thought RS232 Protocol to process the identification process using polynomial models (ARX,…

Family functionality is when the family meets the needs of its members, especially adolescents. Resilience is the adolescent’s ability to face situations in which there are difficulties, life problems and thus be able to overcome them. The purpose of the study is to determine the Level of Resilience and Family Functionality in Adolescents of two…

Feature selection method applied on an intrusion dataset is used to classify the intrusion data as normal or intrusive. We have made an attempt to detect and classify the intrusion data using rank-based feature selection classifiers. A set of redundant features having null rank value are eliminated then the performance evaluation using various feature selection…

Text classification is considered one of the most fundamental and essential problems that deal with automatically classifying textual resources into pre-defined categories. Numerous algorithms, datasets, and evaluation measurements have been proposed to address the task. Within the era of information redundancy, it is challenging and time-consuming to engineering a sizable amount of data in multi-languages…

The ever-growing technology in mobile smartphones has enabled users to store sensitive and private information; as a result, it required the need for an improved security system. Previous approaches heavily relied on shallow machine learning algorithms that require feature extraction which is time consuming, laborious and can cause, resulting in poor authentication. In this paper,…

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,…

In the present paper, a universal approach for determining the maximum flow problem in directed graph for solving different problems is applied. It can be considered as a heuristic and it can be used as a denomination for analyzing an arbitrary system with a mathematical description as a directed graph. The physical nature of the…

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. With the spread of the novel COVID-19 pandemic across the world, schools were closed as part of lockdown measures to contain the virus thereby disrupting academic curricula. Academic institutions leveraged ICTs to virtually engage students and…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in IPFA 2019. In the original work, a new memory bit-counting method in physical failure analysis (PFA) using laser deprocessing technique (LDT) is introduced. In the present paper, LDT will be further exploited and the methodology applied to PFA will be fully discussed. Compared to the…

This article is part of the field of Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), where several criteria must be considered in decision making. All criteria are generally as varied as possible and express different dimensions, and aspects of the decision problem posed. For more than four decades, several MCDA methods have emerged and have been applied perfectly…

Social skills and resilience are very important aspects for mental health; therefore, it is necessary to take into account the positive contribution in the development of adolescents, they are in a vulnerable stage, adapting to physical, mental, emotional, etc. changes. Adolescents, not knowing how to handle the difficulties that may arise, if they do not…

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) is among the most important crops in the world. High and stable grain yield in diverse environments is the major objective in durum breeding programs. This trait is linked to the quantitative trait loci (QTL). For the detection of QTL linked to the grain yield, it is necessary…

Novel ionic polymers were synthesized by crosslinking of poly (vinylalcohol) (PVA) with sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) and silicotungstic acid (SiWA) with or without silica. The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was developed using solution casting method. Infrared (IR) spectra revealed that the Keggin structure was insered in the PVA films. The thermal decomposition of the…

In this paper, we present a new method to deduce minimal cut sets depending on the minimal path sets of the complex systems (networks) to generate the Incidence Matrix, and then compared it with the truth table of the system. This comparison, based on some algebraic properties, gives minimal-cut sets of the complex network with…

The Health-related quality of life corresponds to the perception that people have of their level of well-being, considering aspects of their lives and their impact on their state of health. The studies were initially carried out in a population that presented both acute and chronic pathologies and covered practically all areas of medical specialties; subsequently,…

The effect of the moving dispersive conducting complex scatterer on the scattering of incident H-wave is investigated herein. In this research, a simulation shows how the scattered phase and magnitude of a moving (rotating and translating) circular cylinder with higher conductivity, made of dispersive material, is affected in the case of incident H-wave (TE-mode) polarization.…

This article discusses the problem of handwriting recognition in Kazakh and Russian languages. This area is poorly studied since in the literature there are almost no works in this direction. We have tried to describe various approaches and achievements of recent years in the development of handwritten recognition models in relation to Cyrillic graphics. The…
