Limited interactive communication modes between students and teachers in online environments may lead to teachers misinterpreting or overlooking student needs during online teaching. Students learning online may also hesitate to make their needs known even when latent desires in teaching flow, pacing, and review, may be beneficial to the quality of the learning experience. The…

In this paper, an automatic method for detection of olive trees in RGB images acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is developed. Presented approach is based on the implementation of RetinaNet model and DeepForest Phyton package. Due to fact that original (pretrained) model used in DeepForest package has been built on images of various…

The Activity and Event Network (AEN) is a new dynamic knowledge graph that models different network entities and the relationships between them. The graph is generated by processing various network security logs, such as network packets, system logs, and intrusion detection alerts, which allows the graph to capture security-relevant activity and events in the network.…

Currently one of the urgent goals of mathematical education is the organization of effective work with gifted students. Based on the study of various approaches to teaching mathematically gifted students, many years of experience of teachers, students’ work, and an analysis of curricula and materials for schools with in-depth study of mathematics, an author’s model…

Corn is one of the most important agricultural products in the world. However, climate change greatly threatens corn yield, further increasing already prevalent diseases. Northern corn leaf blight (NLB) and Gray Leaf Spot are two major corn diseases with lesion symptoms that look very similar to each other, and can lead to devastating loss if…

This paper presents the results of a documentary research on the use of information technology in emergency remote teaching in 66 higher educational institutions in Brazil. The theoretical background of this study is based on the works of Feenberg, Bagglaey, Veloso & Mill, Castañeda & Selwyn and Hodges. The methodological approach consisted of analyzing reports…

Bird watchers and people obsessed with raising and taming birds make a kind of motivation about our subject. It consists of the creation of an Android application called ”Birds Images Predictor” which helps users to recognize nearly 210 endemic bird species in the world. The proposed solution compares the performance of the python script, which…

The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) is distinguished by heterogeneous technologies that provide cutting-edge services across a range of application domains. However, by eavesdropping on encrypted WiFi network traflc, attackers can infer private information such as the types and working status of IoT devices in a business or residential home. Moreover, since…

Before succumbing to the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have sustained a ubiquitous presence in human lives and society. ICTs have changed the standards and dynamics of educational practices (EPs). Many academic institutions had already integrated technological-based pedagogical instructions into their educational practices but, in various cases, faced challenges of failing to…

Given the strict Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) criteria for video transmission, such as delivery ratio, transmission delay, and mean opinion Score (MOS), video streaming is one of the hardest challenges in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Additionally, VANET attributes, including environmental impediments, fluctuating vehicle density, and highly dynamic topology, have an…

In current societies, web application systems take central roles in computer systems.
