Prime number factorization is a problem in computer science where the solution to that problem takes super-polynomial time classically. Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm is able to solve the problem in polynomial time by harnessing the power of quantum computing. The implementation of the quantum algorithm itself is not detailed by Shor in his paper. In this paper, an approach and experiment to implement Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm are proposed. The implementation is done using Python and a quantum computer simulator from ProjectQ. The testing and evaluation are completed in two computers with different hardware specifications. User time of the implementation is measured in comparison with other quantum computer simulators: ProjectQ and Quantum Computing Playground. This comparison was done to show the performance of Shor’s algorithm when simulated using different hardware. There is a 33% improvement in the execution time (user time) between the two computers with the accuracy of prime factorization in this implementation is inversely proportional to the number of qubits used. Further improvements upon the program that has been developed for this paper is its accuracy in terms of finding the factors of a number and the number of qubits used, as previously mentioned.

The difficulty to own a house has been a major concern especially among major cities in the world. As the worldwide issue, house prices also have been in the limelight in Malaysia. This is due to the unaffordable prices that tend to escalate over time. The factors that affect house prices are revolving around supply and demand theory either at micro or micro level. There are a lot of factors that found to be correlated as stated from the previous study such as housing characteristics, population, exchange rate, investment, inflation and liquidity. However, there have been shortcomings of study on the liquidity and investment factors toward the house prices. Therefore, this study aims to specifically analyse the influential factors of liquidity and investment toward house prices by using system dynamic approach. The model presumes the liquidity ratios stability and the amount spent on investment in residential properties will affect the house prices significantly. Analysing the trend of rising prices during recent years and forecasting its future development using system dynamic approach is significant, since it can help the authority and society to thoroughly understand on how liquidity and investment activity would affect the house prices.

Maintaining distance is one of the strategies that can be applied by prey to defend themselves or to avoid predatory attacks. This defense behavior can affect predation rates. The distance or difference in the number of prey and predator populations will affect the level of balanced ecosystem. The distance is also affecting predation rate, when there’s a long distance between prey and predator thus the predation rate decreases and vice versa. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the stability of the mathematical equilibrium on predator-prey model by observing the distance. There are two types of model being observed, type one uses exponential growth model and type two is using a logistic growth model. The analytics results obtain three equilibrium points, namely the unstable extinction equilibrium point, and the asymptotically stable predator extinction with certain conditions and asymptotically stable coexistence with certain conditions. Then numerical simulation is conducted to support the analytical results.

Grover’s quantum search algorithm allows quadratic speedup in unsorted search problem by utilizing amplitude amplification trick in quantum computing. In this paper, an approach to implement Grover’s quantum search algorithm is proposed. The implementation is done using Rigetti Forest and Python. The testing and evaluation processes are carried on in two computers with different hardware specifications to derive more information from the result. The results are measured in user time and compared with implementation from Quantum Computing Playground. The user time of this implementation for 10 qubits and 1024 data is slower compared to Quantum Computing Playground’s implementation. The proposed implementation can be improved by calculating the probability of Grover’s quantum search algorithm in finding the appropriate search result.

Design and development of a cloud-based non-intrusive load monitoring System (NILM) is presented. It serves for monitoring and disaggregating the aggregated data such as smart metering into appliance-level load information by using cloud computing and machine learning algorithms implemented in cloud. The existing NILM systems are lack of scalability and limited in computing resources (computation and data storage) due to dedicated, closed and proprietary-based characteristics. They are inaccessible to variety of heterogeneity data (electrical and non-electrical data) openly for improving NILM performance. Therefore, this paper proposed a novel cloud-based NILM system to enable collection of these open data for load monitoring and other energy-related services. The collected data such as smart meter or data acquisition unit (DAQ), is pre-processed and uploaded to the cloud platform. A classifier algorithm based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is implemented in Azure ML Studio (AzureML), followed by the classifier testing with different combinations of feature set for the performance comparison. Furthermore, a web service is deployed for web APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) of applications such as smart grid and smart cities. The results shows that the ANN classifier for multiclass classification has improved performance with additional features of harmonics, apart from active and reactive powers used. It also demonstrates the feasibility of proposed cloud-based classifier model for load monitoring. Therefore, the proposed solution offers a convenient and cost-effective way of load monitoring via cloud computing technology for smart grid and smart home applications. Further work includes the use of other ML algorithms for classifier, performance analysis, development of cloud-based universal appliance data and use cases.

Test case prioritization (TCP) is a software testing technique that finds an ideal ordering of test cases for regression testing, so that testers can obtain the maximum benefit of their test suite, even if the testing process is stop at some arbitrary point. The recent trend of software development uses OO paradigm. This paper proposed a cost-cognizant TCP approach for object-oriented software that uses path-based integration testing. Path-based integration testing will identify the possible execution path and extract these paths from the Java System Dependence Graph (JSDG) model of the source code using forward slicing technique. Afterward evolutionary algorithm (EA) was employed to prioritize test cases based on the severity detection per unit cost for each of the dependent faults. The proposed technique was known as Evolutionary Cost-Cognizant Regression Test Case Prioritization (ECRTP) and being implemented as regression testing approach for experiment.

In this paper, we introduce the mathematical model that represents the quantity and population dynamics on the coconut farm. The model encompasses the number of coconuts and population of squirrels, barn owls, and squirrel hunters. We study the fundamental properties of the model that include positivity, boundedness, and equilibrium points. We also investigate the effect of the time delay on the stability of the equilibrium points. The results of the analysis show that when the time delay reaches its critical value, the interior equilibrium point lost its stability, and there occurs the Hopf bifurcation.

Form-finding of fabric surface bordered by Richmond’s has been investigated. In this study, the possibility of adopting the form of Richmond’s as surface shape in tensioned fabric structure under different prestress values has been studied. The combination of shape and internal forces for the purpose of stiffness and strength is an important feature of fabric surface. For this purpose, form-finding needs to be carried out. Nonlinear analysis method has been used for form-finding analysis of the fabric in the form of Richmond’s minimal surface. Richmond’s minimal surface models are analyzed with two different values of prestress which are 3000N/m and 5000N/m. The average warp and fill stresses deviation for all models presented are less than 0.01 which indicates the model can serve as reference to the engineers or architects in the selection of proper surface parameter to achieve a structurally viable surface. As a result, this study is expected to lead the improvement of rural basic infrastructure, economic gains, sustainability of built environment and green technology initiative.

When there are two or more roads meet, there is higher tendency of conflicts among vehicles. Roundabout is not a new concept to manage conflict points at at-grade intersection. However, improper motorist behaviours especially during peak hour affect safety and operational performance of a roundabout. This paper compares the safety and operational performance evaluation of a conventional non-signalized roundabout and a conventional signalised roundabout and explores the potential of turbo roundabout to replace the conventional ones. Three characteristics used to evaluate safety performance of the roundabouts include entry lane selection, use of entry and exit indicators, and weaving activities. These behaviours create the possibility of conflict, hence, risk of fatalities. On the other hand, delay and total time travel are used as indicators of operational performance of the roundabouts. We used SIDRA INTERSECTION Software to determine the theoretical delays and Level of Services. High delay, a time factor, affects motorists’ emotion, might have contributed to the safety performance. Similarly, motorists’ non-compliance behaviours affected the operational performance.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the design of public low-cost housing in Jigawa State, Nigeria and assess how residents perceived the housing units in relation to their culture and impact on their well-being. The housing units were constructed as an intervention by the government for low-income earners. This research was conducted through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. In qualitative aspect, three respondents were interviewed to express their perception on the public low-cost housing design, while quantitative aspect assessed the residential housing attributes of low-cost housing estates with view to identify the important housing attributes considered by the residents for their well-being and was used to support the qualitative aspect. This was achieved through descriptive statistics using Relative Importance Index (RII). A well-structured questionnaire was administered to the residents of public low-cost housing of Jigawa state, Nigeria. The results indicated that, the design of public low-cost housing in Jigawa State, Nigeria does not reflect the culture of the residents, most of the residents were not satisfied with it. In addition, out of fifty five (55) constructs from five (5) housing-related dimensions, the result identified thirty two (32) important attributes out of these, the residents considered twelve (12) to be the most important attributes affecting their well-being. Thus, the paper would serve as a blueprinted government, housing policy makers and housing developers to understand that, the housing constructions and infrastructural elements should reflect the cultural background of the beneficiaries. Views of beneficiaries before and after construction of public low-cost housing are of great importance. The findings of this paper were based on reviewed of earlier studies on residential-housing units, field work and research conducted on particularly the public low-cost housing in Jigawa State, Nigeria

Tourism is a business that contributes to the improvement of people's welfare through creative economy which will drive economic growth and create jobs. In meeting many tourism needs, different creative industries are needed in each tourist destination, so that tourists feel satisfied when visiting these tourist attractions. Tourists request will cause and encourage the production of goods and services and also encourage local communities to meet those requests such as; lodging, transportation, restaurants, souvenirs, massages, laundry service, hairdresser, and others. The research objective is to analyse the strengths, weaknesses, oportunities and threats of creative economy in encouraging tourism development. Research data obtained from the respondents on certain questions regarding the creative economics factors as the catalyst for tourism, and the data analysed using SWOT (Strength – Weakness – Opportunity – Threat) which is divided into external strategic factors analysis (EFAS) and internal strategic factors analysis (IFAS). Research respondents are people who are involved in tourism, namely decision makers, tourists, academics. The research result shows the weakness of the value is greater than the value of the opportunity, whereas the value of threat greater than the value of the opportunity. The condition shows that the creative economy is at position quadrant III, i.e. industries that require different concentric and horizontal. The biggest threat of the creative industries are security, lifestyle and social culture. Whereas the greatest opportunities that can be supported of acceleration and improvement of the economy through tourism in the creative industries are the fashion industry and music industry. The biggest weakness in creative industries as the catalyst for tourism is human resources, access, and marketing, while the greatest strength in creative industry is the development of tourist destinations and an increase in nationalism.

The transportation between remote cities and different islands in Indonesia needs to be served by aviation. One possibility to connect cities with short distance is by using small aircraft, such as the turboprop aircraft. However, the feasibility of such aircraft should be examined due to its huge investment and profitability. This study tries to determine the route network of turboprop aircraft in Indonesia using Ryerson and Ge’s approach (2014) by examining spatial trends for short-haul aviation and on the regional jet routes. The possibility of turboprop flight on the regional jet routes could be assessed by a distance-based and fuel-time trade-off with three scenarios of fuel price. To validate the potential network of turboprop aircraft, binary logit model predict the probability that a route is fit served by a turboprop. This study shows that more than half of the current regional jet routes in Indonesia can be operated by turboprop aircraft. However, the route which farther than its range capability should be operated with regional jet.

The findings show that there is a gap based on technology exposure between the generation of teachers and students, therefore computer science requires a module and teaching materials that feature the latest technology. The study also found that the existing curriculum was in line with the efforts of improving the student's computational thinking skills. Therefore, teacher training, modular facilities, and technological materials still need to be improved in parallel with the development of technological knowledge for the generation of students and towards education 4.0.

Despite the great attention received by organisational citizenship behaviour in the organisational discussion, little is known about organisational citizenship behaviour among Malaysia public hospital nurses. Hence, this study extended the discussion by investigating nurses’ organisational citizenship behaviour dimensions namely altruism, courtesy, civic virtue, conscientiousness, and sportsmanship. While, the leader-member exchange consisted of perceived contribution and affect were examined as predictors of the study. Questionnaire of quantitative approach based on multi-stage cluster sampling techniques is used to obtained data from 539 nurses in Malaysia. By adopting structural equation model, the result indicates that leader-member exchange of affect dimension having a connection with altruism, courtesy, civic virtue, and sportsmanship; but vice-versa in perceived contribution dimension which only associated with sportsmanship. Theoretically, this study extends the Social Exchange Theory and its application to nursing practitioners. The findings could benefit the human resource practitioners in terms of the effects of the conduct of organisational citizenship by the nurses due to the leader-member exchange in the hospital. The study recommends the expansion of Social Exchange Theory model in organisational citizenship behaviour research by using longitudinal designs and multiple measures of other variables.

In this study three time series models are used for forecasting monthly ASEAN tourist arrivals in Malaysia from January 1999 to December 2015. Brunei, Thailand and Vietnam of ASEAN country selected as case study. This paper compares the forecasting accuracy of seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Wavelet Support Vector Machine (WSVM) and Empirical Mode Decomposition with Wavelet Support Vector Machine (EMD_WSVM) using root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) criterion. Moreover, correlation test has also been carried out to strengthen decisions, and to check accuracy of various forecasting models. Based on the forecasting performance of all four models, hybrid model SARIMA and EMD_WSVM are found to be best models as compare to single model SVM and hybrid model WSVM.
