Complex networked systems provide a cornucopia of network statistics, many of which relate to the temporal behaviour of subsystems, devices, or even individual protocol layers. Different and flexible visualizations can play a crucial role in discovering and making patterns, relations, and trends tangible. We developed PerfVis, a tool that visualizes timestamp data to aid in…

Smoking has been proven to negatively affect health in a multitude of ways. As of 2009, smoking has been considered the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States, continuing to plague the country’s overall health. This study aims to investigate the viability and effectiveness of some machine learning algorithms for predicting…

Nowadays, Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) (Heart Attack) is ubiquitous and one of the major reasons of death worldwide. Early screening of people at risk of having IHD may lead to minimize morbidity and mortality. A simple approach is proposed in this paper to predict risk of developing heart attack using smartphone and data mining. Clinical…

Study the content of images is considered an important topic in which reasonable and accurate analysis of images are generated. Recently image analysis becomes a vital field because of huge number of images transferred via transmission media in our daily life. These crowded media with images lead to highlight in research area of image analysis.…

This paper makes a statistical analysis of some indicators that characterize the environment of students admitted to public and private Institutions of Higher Education i.e. university level institutions, presenting an overview to the distribution of these students in the key areas of study that these institutions offer such as: Arts, Agriculture, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences,…

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…

Trusted systems are becoming more integrated into everyday life. Security and reliability are at the forefront of trusted system design and are often directed at hardware-only solutions, especially for safety critical systems. This is because hardware has a well-established process for achieving strong, precise, and reliable systems. These attributes have been achieved in the area…

Flavonoid is one of the bioactive compounds that are currently used in pharmaceutical and medicinal industries due to their health benefit. The focus of current research is mainly on the extraction and isolation of bioactive compounds; however non to date has explored on the identification of flavonoids classes under the Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).…

In the present study a computer model of a pumping well has been developed and calibrated by using two slave programs of Geo-Slope software, i.e. (SIGMA/W and SEEP/W). The model has been used to study the behaviour of watertable and drawdown in an aquifer during pumping. SIGMA/W program was used to compute initial pore-pressure within…

The automated Global System for Mobile Communication Signal Strength and Radio Climatological (GSM-RC) measuring device is an integration of different electronic sensors in a box for an in-situ measuring system. The sensor, data logging, and communication subsystems are integrated for transmitting information on meteorological parameters (MPs) and GSM signal strength level (SSL). The goal is…

Combinatorial software testing is regarded as a crucial part when it comes to the software development life cycle. However, it would be impractical to exhaustive test highly configurable software due to limited time as well as resources. Moreover, a combinatorial testing strategy would be to employ input-output-based relations (IORs) due to its benefits versus other…

This article aims to determine to what extent the self-perception of acquiring professional skills has been affect ed, by the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in University Students of Business Administration; For which, the results obtained in two satisfaction survey processes, carried out in academic semesters 2019-B and 2020-A, have been compared, marking a before…

In recent years water treatment methods under pressurized systems have been considered as the optimum high-rate filtration techniques. Unpressurized-slow sand filtration can be the cheapest and most efficient method, among others. This research aims to test the performance of a reliable seawater filtration system, using three different iterations. The filters have been designed considering many…

Rated a high-risk cyber-attack type, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) has become a cause for concern to cyber security experts. Detecting the presence of APT in order to mitigate this attack has been a major challenge as successful attacks to large organizations still abound. Our approach combines static rule anomaly detection through pattern recognition and machine…

Increasing the telecommunications products that allow Vector Network Analyzer is becoming more common tools to measure the S-Parameter. It will be an absolute number from the S-Parameter measurements produced in real and imaginary, other words it is also known as the product of the calculation. The calculation findings do not include the systematic and random…

Currently, there is a growing interest for applying gamification in e-learning due to innovations in technologies and pedagogies. However, motivation and engagement related problems can arise when the gamification elements are not personalized to match the individual’s needs. Therefore, this research proposes a Hybrid Learning Model that combines both Gamification and Personality Traits to increase…

Due to the recent development of information and communication technology, such as sensor technology, IoT technology, and smart technology, interest in maker education is increasing. Maker education offers students experience-based education that allows them to make their own results, giving them various interests and motivations. Recently, various research results on maker education have been under…

Physical computing is important for ICT (information and communication technology) Education and other informatics education such as software education since physical computing can provide learning-by-doing education for students. It is also a strong tool to increase students’ programming ability using various type of physical computing tools like a robot. In physical computing, it is necessary…

The presence of atmospheric hazards in confined space can contribute towards atmospheric hazards accidents that threaten the worker safety and industry progress. To avoid this, the environment needs to be observed. The air sample can be monitored using the integration of electronic nose (e-nose) and mobile robot. Current technology to monitor the atmospheric hazards is…
