The purpose of this work is to present a practical study on the key factors of usability in small-sized mobile touch-screen applications. Though using smart phones has brought great easiness in our daily life in many ways, many smart phone applications often remain underutilized due to the poor consideration of end-users in the development phase, t
Frequent technological advances in the field of computing have resulted in a rapid increase in creation of new loopholes in systems. To secure their computing systems, big companies resort to use penetration testing as a solution whereby an external company is hired to evaluate the security of the computer system or network under perspective. There
Currently, higher education institutions (HEIs) are looking for new ways of collaborating to share specialized competences (knowledge & skills) both internally and externally. This is aimed at improving their business processes as well as increasing their productivity. Value co-creation (VCC) is an effective model to improve the way organizatio
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a recently evolving technology characterized by very high speed data rate that allows users to access internet through their mobile as well as through other electronic devices. Such technology is intended to support variety of IP-based heterogeneous traffic types. Traffic scheduling plays an important role in LTE techno
Nowadays, Business Intelligence (BI) is becoming as a necessity for a lot of organizations. Figures show that billions of US dollars are spent on BI systems annually. Unfortunately, according to statistics, more than half of BI projects are ending with unrealized benefit. Many researchers tried to investigate the reasons behind this failure rate, t
Currently, there are more than 500 Quranic recitations available freely on the internet. There is also a growing trends on the use of smart phone compare to traditional desktop PCs for accessing the internet. On such limited device, a high quality speech compression for Quranic recitation is favorable. In this paper, we developed a high quality spe
The aim of this study is determine first derivative of blood flow velocity (FDBFV) in common carotid artery (CCA) inorder to evaluate cardiovascular functions. The extracted derivative features suggest the acceleration waves which able toprovide aging index (AGI) in the cardiovascular system. In the study, acceleration wave derived from FDBFV consi
As opposed to personal mortality, engineering ethics comes out worldwide to solve professional practice. It is an essential part of professional education because it helps students deal with issues they will face in professional practice. One way to teach engineering ethics is by using cases—not just the disaster cases that make the news, but the
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) has emerged as new type of Ionic liquids which exhibit similar characteristic with the conventional ILs but with additional advantages. Unlike conventional ILs, DESs are made from renewable, cheaper and greener components. Besides, the process synthesis is relatively easier. In light o the wide application of the conve
