The progress of information using websites is developing fast, impacting various sectors, one of which is pharmaceutical companies. Pharmaceutical companies have roles in drug manufacturing, pharmaceutical distribution, and essential services for the community—the most important and challenging activity in the IT department. The researcher is responsible for one of the Bandung pharmaceutical companies. Researchers are…

This research designed an image encryption system that focused on securing teledermatology data in the form of skin disease images. The encryption and decryption process of this system is done on the client side using chaos-based encryption with confusion and diffusion techniques. Arnold’s cat map is the chaotic map model used for confusion, while the…

The adoption and diffusion of mobile applications (mobile apps) has become the base of modern activities in Africa owing to the services and values that are obtained through mobile apps innovations. More emphasis has been on the development of mobile apps whereas the adoption and diffusion process as well as their predictors are ignored or…

Even though mobile technologies are increasingly used to enable communications between providers and receivers of healthcare services, there remain severity challenges owing to the use of various indigenous languages in many Africa countries. Some of the challenges get worst in a countries like South Africa where there are eleven official languages. As a result, interpreters…

Diffusion MRI-based tractography, which is built by connecting the principal components of the estimated water diffusion pattern, is used to elucidate neuronal connectivity. However, the anatomical accuracy of the method is affected by factors such as noise and imaging misalignments. In this manuscript, we present a method to clean diffusion datasets by rotating the diffusion…

Optoelectronic devices applications based on Organic–inorganic perovskites are promising and effective low-cost energy materials due to their exceptional physical properties which include high carrier mobility, high optical absorption coefficient, and long carrier diffusion length. In the presented work, a TiO2/NiO+5% Fe quantum dots (QDs)–doped CsMAFAPbI2Br2 perovskite heterojunction broadband photodetector was fabricated on FTO/glass substrate. The…

Distributed Solar Photovoltaic (DSP) Plants are one of the fastest growing renewable energy systems in South Africa. The primary components forming an integral part of the point of common coupling (PCC) are, the inverter used to convert dc voltage to ac voltage and step-up transformers which step-up low voltage input to the desired output level.…

The pressing and most urgent challenge for most of the Posts in Southern Africa is to transit from its historical reputation of being a snail-paced, inefficient, loss-making and ineffective service provider to an agile, innovative, solution-driven and highly competitive service provider that strive for excellence. In this context, adoption, and diffusion of technology and digital…

Dithering or error diffusion is a technique used to obtain a binary image, suitable for printing, from a grayscale one. At each step, the algorithm computes an allowed value of a pixel from a grayscale one, applying a threshold and, therefore, causing a conversion error. To obtain the optical illusion of a continuous tone, the…

In this paper, performances of two variations of chaos based algorithms are compared. First algorithm is a self-adaptive color image encryption algorithm is proposed based on Radial Hilbert Transform and chaos. This technique uses chaotic random phase masks operated on the transformed pixels to increase the randomness in confusion and diffusion operations. Also, a random…

The problem of recognizing traffic sign boards in a correct fashion is one of the major challenges since there is an alarming rate of increase in the number of road accidents happening because of incorrect interpretation of traffic sign boards in bad weather conditions. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various noise removal techniques…

In this paper, we present a novel secure cryptosystem for direct encryption of color images, based on an iterative mixing spread over three rounds of the R, G and B color channels and three enhanced chaotic maps. Each round includes an affine transformation that uses three invertible matrices of order 2 _ 2; whose parameters…

The resolution of the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations by the finite element method is the focus of this paper. These equations are solved in conservative form using, as unknown variables, the so-called conservative variables (density, momentum per unit volume and total energy per unit volume). The variational formulation developed is a variant of the Petrov-Galerkin…
