Useful information can be provided by 2.5D maps that can take advantage of the additional dimension. However, aside from stereoscopic landmarks, optimal methods for presenting other essential information is unclear. Two experiments were conducted to...

The evolution of technology in clinical environments increases the level of precision in patient care, as well as optimizes the management of healthcare centers. However, the need to have information systems that are more sophisticated and require in...

Cybersecurity is a never-ending battle against attackers, who try to identify and exploit misconfigurations and software vulnerabilities before being patched. In this ongoing conflict, it is important to analyse the properties of the vulnerability ti...

In this paper, we study the controllability of an Expressive TTS system trained on a dataset for a continuous control. The dataset is the Blizzard 2013 dataset based on audiobooks read by a female speaker containing a great variability in styles and...

The monitoring of rotating machinery is an essential activity for asset management today. Due to the large amount of monitored equipment, analyzing all the collected signals/features becomes an arduous task, leading the specialist to rely often on ge...

The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ intention to continue using online learning platforms during face-to-face traditional classes in a way that is parallel to their usage during online virtual classes (during the pandemic). Th...

The aim of this study was to analyze the content, context, and structure of folktales from the Mekong River Basin, and to develop a metadata schema for data description and folktale storage. The research was conducted using the MAAT metadata lifecycl...

Inefficient and ineffective practices in the construction industry have hindered productivity even though it is considered as one of the largest sectors in any county. One best solution to overcome these inherent problems in the construction industry...

The main objective of this research is to investigate the role of social media campaigns (the type of social media platform, type of message, and message source sender) in raising public health awareness and behavioral change during (COVID-19) as a g...

Deep networks often possess a vast number of parameters, and their significant redundancy in parameterization has become a widely-recognized property. This presents significant challenges and restricts many deep learning applications, making the focu...

Machine learning models are used today to solve problems within a broad span of disciplines. If the proper hyperparameter tuning of a machine learning classifier is performed, significantly higher accuracy can be obtained. In this paper, a comprehens...

As social media has shifted from traditional to modern technical patterns, organizations have sought to take advantage of the presence of beneficiaries on social networks. They may serve customers, display ads, and respond to queries on social media...

Pressure ulcers are associated with significant morbidity, resulting in a decreased quality of life for the patient, and contributing to healthcare professional burnout, as well as an increase of health service costs. Their prompt diagnosis and treat...

This article aims to improve the secondary distribution process in a mass consumer company implementing technologies, such as transport management system (TMS) to achieve the objectives set by the company. A DMAIC based methodology is proposed to def...

Data generation is currently expanding at an astonishing pace, and the function of marketing is becoming increasingly sophisticated and customized. Companies seek to understand their internal corporate environment and externalities and to exponential...

This article presents a systematic mapping study dedicated to conduct a literature review on machine learning and IoT applied in the identification of diseases through heart sounds. This research was conducted between January 2010 and July 2021, cons...

The fight against the COVID-19 pandemic still involves many struggles and challenges. The greatest challenge that most governments are currently facing is the lack of a precise, accurate, and automated mechanism for detecting and tracking new COVID-1...

Today’s computing is based on the classic paradigm proposed by John von Neumann, three-quarters of a century ago. That paradigm, however, was justified for (the timing relations of) vacuum tubes only. The technological development invalidated the cla...

Aquatic products are popular among consumers, and their visual quality used to be detected manually for freshness assessment. This paper presents a solution to inspect tuna and salmon meat from digital images. The solution proposes hardware and a pro...

As social media platforms offer a medium for opinion expression, social phenomena such as hatred, offensive language, racism, and all forms of verbal violence have increased spectacularly. These behaviors do not affect specific countries, groups, or...

In the past, nursing informatics has tended to focus on the implementation of systems [...]

Industry 4.0 is characterized by the availability of sensors to operate the so-called intelligent factory. Predictive maintenance, in particular, failure prediction, is an important issue to cut the costs associated with production breaks. We studied...

This study examines the experience of marketing departments to become fully data-driven decision-making organizations. We evaluate an organic approach of departmental sensemaking and an administered approach by which top management increase the influ...

To avoid problems related to a school bus service such as kidnapping, children being left in a bus for hours leading to fatality, etc., it is important to have a reliable transportation service to ensure students’ safety along journeys. This research...

A conceptual artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled framework is presented in this study involving triangulation of various diagnostic methods for management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its associated comorbidities in resource-limited se...

This study employs a novel 3D engineered robotic eye system with dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) pupils and a 3D sculpted and colourised gelatin iris membrane to replicate the appearance and materiality of the human eye. A camera system for facia...
