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…

In healthcare, accurate communication is critical, and medical coding, especially coding using the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) standards, plays a vital role in achieving this accuracy. Traditionally, ICD coding has been a time-consuming manual process performed by trained professionals, involving the assignment of codes to patient records, such as doctor’s notes. In this paper,…

Droughts are undesirable and highly unwanted form of disasters. It is essential to analyse the cause of such extreme events and act accordingly to pave the way for a sustainable future. The present research work conducts a seasonality and trend analysis of rainfall over the eight districts of Marathwada region. The study is carried out…

This study tests the feasibility of manufacturing concrete blocks made of recycled materials. The paper is an extension of work originally presented in ASET conference in Dubai. The paper, depicts and analyzes how the characteristics of the blocks (strength/durability) are affected by the presence of recycled concrete ingredients (recycled aggregate (RA)) and recycled water (RW).…

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…

Due to high failure rates many students end up spending unnecessary years struggling to qualify and subsequently accumulate unnecessary debt. In this paper, our principal contribution is to provide an expert system that statistically predicts the success of a first year student in an undergraduate Science programme given only academic merit in their subject matter.…

This study examines the potential of solar energy in the urban environment with a case study in Semarang, Indonesia by analyzing the intensity of solar radiation and the residential rooftop area. The study aims to obtain a quantitative description of the potential for electricity production from rooftop solar photovoltaic systems in residential areas and estimate…

The development of electronic healthcare systems requires to adopt modern technologies and architectures. The use of Electronic Personal Health Record (E-PHR) should be supported by efficient storage such as cloud storage which enables more security, availability and accessibility of patients’ records. Actually, the increase of availability of E-PHR enhances parallel access, which improves the performance…

It is difficult to accurately segment brain MRI in the complex structures of brain tumors, blurred borders, and external variables such as noise. Much research in developing as well as developed countries show that the number of individuals suffering tumor of the brain has died as a result of the inaccurate diagnosis. The proposed article,…

The research presents a statistical analysis that characterize the environment of the admitted students to Higher Public Education Institutions, by providing an overview of student’s distribution to the courses of studies offered by universities in Albania, such as, economy, medicine, technical etc., and grouping them according to the relative density of 38 (thirty eight) administrative…

The stabilizer bar restricts the roll angle of the vehicle when the vehicle steers based on the load balance on both sides of the wheel. Usually, the bar is in the form of the symmetrical U-shaped with the diameter is circular or annular. In order to be able to calculate the diameter of the stabilizer…

Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack), a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the major killers worldwide. Around one thousand data has been collected from AMI patients, people are at risk of maybe a heart attack and individuals with the significant features closely related to heart attack. The sophistication in mobile technology, health care applications…

Modeling of direct expansion (DX) air conditioning and heat pump systems can be necessary in developing energy saving methods required to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The artificial neural networks (ANN) can be simple and reliable as compared to traditional methods. A properly trained artificial neural network can provide accurate results, while being relatively straightforward…
