Many research works have been conducted focusing on pro-cessing skyline queries on databases. Recently, some approaches have been proposed to address the issue of skyline queries for a partially complete da-tabase in which data item values might not be presented (missing). Howev-er, these approaches are tailored for centralized database and accesse

Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the smart home system using Internet of Things. One of the important aspect in the smart home system is the security capability which can simply lock and unlock the door or the gate. In this paper, we proposed a face recognition security system using Raspberry Pi which can be connected to the smart home syst

The main limitation of conventional antibiotic therapies concerns the low efficacy to fight bacteria attacks during long treatment times. In this context, the integrated use of electrofluidodynamics (EFDs)—basically electrospinning and electrospraying—may represent an interesting route for designing nanostructured platforms with controlled rele

In many contemporary database applications such as multi-criteria decision-making and real-time decision-support applications, data mining, ecommerce and recommendation systems, users need query operators to process the data aiming at finding the results that best fit with their preferences. Skyline queries are one of the most predominant query ope

Entre 1915 et 1916, la correspondance entre le haut commissaire en Égypte Henry McMahon et Sayyed Hussein Ben Ali, le chérif de la Mecque préfigure, avant les accords Sykes-Picot et la Déclaration Balfour, la partition coloniale du Proche-Orient. Un siècle plus tard, il est avéré que cette division est un processus dynamique qui porte toujou

This research focuses on the design and development educational game using Microsoft Kinect. The edugame can be used as educational tool in a classroom as to create an interesting and interactive learning process. This research is also focused on mathematics as its educational content using Microsoft Visual C#, XNA Game Studio, Microsoft Kinect for

This paper investigates the development of language identification based on Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm. In this study, a total of ten speakers were chosen randomly with different languages from online language database. A total of six males and four females were selected as subjects for this re

WiFi facilitates computers and devices to connect with the Internet and each other using radio frequency signals that has Received Signal Strength Indicator or RSSI as its standard feature. With the use of RSSI value, a human presence detection technique to support energy saving by automating appliances is developed. It has attracted interest of re

In the next few years, the demands and challenges for the 4 G (and its derivatives i.e. LTE-A) alternative must be addressed to meet the prime objectives of the upcoming 5 G mobile networks such as increased capacity, improved data rate, low latency, and better quality of service. To achieve these objectives, drastic improvements need to be made in

Introduction Many methods have been proposed for MRI tissue segmentation. It has been identified that MRI image of human tissue is homogeneous and the structure of each is tissue connected, but it is rather difficult to separate the adjacent tissue due to the small intensity changes or smooth boundaries observed. Current traditional edge detection
