Authors: Toudehdehghan Abdolreza , Rahman Md. Mujibur
Published: April 2019

New materials are essential for the development and advancement in material manufacturing technology. A brief overview of the history of human civilization shows that from stone tools to the steel age and then to the space age, had proven that the revolution of materials is key for new technology development. Today, it is known that phenomenon such as interface delamination and de-bonding on a conventional thermal barrier coating (which are present in an environment with high temperature) degrades the performance of the material and its mechanical properties. In overcoming this adverse effects, two or more types of materials such as ceramic and metal are composed together creating a type of composite named Functionally Graded Material (FGM) in the literature. In studying the behavior of FGM, models based on a theoretical derivation of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory using the superposition method clearly demonstrate the superiority of two different configurations of FGM against the conventional coated beam. The FGM coated and under coated models apply a power-law function on the material properties across the FGM layers in comparing the effects of thermo-mechanical loading to those of conventional coated beam. Specifically, the results show that FGM drastically reduces stress concentration preventing the initiation of any delamination or de-bonding.

This paper contributes in understanding and gaining meaningful insight about the relationship among the scientist in the co-authorship network using social network analysis. We argue that the relationship analysis is not always a straightforward process. In the past one single measure, for example, the egocentric or centrality measure was used to describe the scientific collaboration patterns separately. In this paper, various analysis such as centrality analysis, ego network, community detection, largest clique and word frequency have been used to examine and interpret the collaboration among the authors. This research is not dominated by known researchers but involves an overall exploration of the network. Our research is mainly guided by the creation of research issues, assessing the type of dataset and the objectives for presenting the co-authorship relationships. It is important to identify the motive of the selected measures in order to achieve the predefined objective. Specific methodology and procedures are designed to solve each research issue respectively. This study reveals that the network interpretation should not be solely based on one network measure, but an explorative analysis results need to be considered because it allows exploring the hidden information through the changes in the network structure, topology patterns and nodesâ€™ position.

Published: April 2019

One of the most highlighted issues in the developing world of the 21st century is the hydrometeorological disasters. Developed and developing nations are all affected by the more prominent climate change. There has been a rise in disaster occurrences over the past decade that this has caused more attention to be given to the topic of disaster management especially to floods. The scale of these disaster events has also intensified and have broken past records with more destructive disasters. This paper intends to review the activities related to hydrometeorological disaster. Key activities are broken down into three different phases, namely pre-disaster, during disaster and post-disaster. Understanding the activities involved is pertinent to not only the lead agencies and non-governmental organizations but plays a bigger role for the vulnerable communities. In the past, communities were the last group to be participative in disaster risk reduction efforts. Today, communities are being engaged from early stage to empower them to be resilient towards the possibility of facing future flood disaster. Evacuation planning and logistics arrangement are key activities prior to the occurrence of any disaster which will ease the implementation of search and rescue operations. However during disaster, it is important for the early warning system to be functioning to alert the affected communities. People also need to be aware of the outbreak of diseases during flood disaster. Finally, post-disaster efforts focuses more on the restoration of damaged infrastructure as well as the mental state of the affected victims. Understanding these key activities will increase the awareness of stakeholders in reducing loss of life and minimizing damages towards properties.

Authors: Binti Sidek Norliza , Binti Ali Norâ€™Ashikin , Bin Rosman Romzie
Published: April 2019

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a wireless technology that offers opportunities for Government-Agencies (GA) to improve services to citizens. However, the challenge is to ensure that the IoT is fully utilized as the real value of using IoT services comes from the establishments of services through effective utilization of technologies. This paper aims to develop a conceptual model for successful implementation of IoT services in GA which is one of the least essential studied aspects of utilization of Digital-Government services. This study proposes a new integrated success model that combines the dimensions of Technology-Readiness-Index (TRI) 2.0 with other success factors â€“ service quality, information quality, system quality, user satisfaction, use (from DeLone&McLean Information-System-Success-Model), perceived usefulness (from Technology-Acceptance-Model), and trust construct to understand the determinants of IoT services success model in GA from the perspective of government officers. Interviews with Government-IoT experts are conducted to define and delineate the research problem. The proposed model could bring a better perspective of the critical factors that contribute to the success of IoT services implementation process particularly in GA as well as providing a groundwork for further empirical testing. Moreover, it will suggest an appropriate implementation mechanism to help GA increase the use of IoT services.Â Â

Published: April 2019

The study of prediction has drawn great interest in a wide range of field. T-Method which was developed specifically for prediction of the multidimensional case using historical data to develop its baseline model proved that making a prediction is possible even with limited sample size. The element of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) adopted into the T-Method strengthens its robustness. Orthogonal array (OA) in T-Method was used as features selection optimization in improving the analysis speed, cost and computer burden during the analysis. However, the limitation of OA in dealing with higher dimensionality and complex combination factors restraint the optimization accuracy. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) was adopted in this study to overcome this limitation. The result of this study shows that T-method +ABC provide the best error% accuracy with only 2.45% and 2.53% (3 optimized features out of 15) compared to T-Method +OA which 2.81% and 2.67% and T-Method +Spearman Correlation as 3.16% and 3.06%. The power consumption prediction case study is a good example for cases that deal with high correlation coefficient (R2) baseline model (>0.8). If the R2 is lower than 0.8, further enhancement needs to be done to ensure a low risk of high error% prediction.Â Â

Published: April 2019

The presence of disturbances can cause instability to the quadrotor flight and can be dangerous especially when operating near obstacles or other aerial vehicles. In this paper, a hybrid controller called state feedback with intelligent disturbance observer-based control (SF-iDOBC) is developed for trajectory tracking of quadrotor in the presence of time-varying disturbances, e.g. wind. This is achieved by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technique with disturbance observer-based feedback linearization to achieve a better disturbance rejection capability. Here, the observer estimates the disturbances acting on the quadrotor, while AI technique using the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) compensates the disturbance estimation error. To improve the error compensation of RBFNN, the k-means clustering method is used to find the optimal centers of the Gaussian activation function. In addition, the weights of the RBFNN are tuned online using the derived adaptation law based on the Lyapunov method, which eliminates the offline training. In the simulation experiment conducted, a total of four input nodes and five hidden neurons are used to compensate for the error. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the theoretical development.Â

Authors: V. Janahiraman Tiagrajah , Hazwan Harun Muhammad
Published: April 2019

Power utility providers and power industry service providers face a significant challenge in identifying the type of Power Quality Disturbances (PQD) automatically. This paper discusses a method to classify PQD using signal decomposition, statistical analysis and machine learning. Firstly, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on the generated PQD signals to decompose the signal to obtain its representation in time and frequency domain. Secondly, first and second order statistical parameters are computed on the selected sub-band of DWT. These parameters are used as features vector for the machine learning based classifier. Our database consists of 2400 generated signals of PQD, which were divided into train and test set. Another set of noise corrupted signal database was generated to evaluate the capability of the system. SVM using quadratic kernel was selected as the classifier of the Power Quality Disturbances feature vector. Comparisons were also made with other types of classifiers and other types of mother wavelet filter functions. The results show that the combination of DWT and SVM managed to classify Power Quality Disturbances with high accuracy and has a strong resistance towards noise.

Published: April 2019

The computing devices utilized as a part of an extensive class of remote correspondence systems, for example, cell phones, remote sensor systems (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), Internet of Things (IoT), body area networks (BANs) and so on, are little and asset compelled. In the current developments of the resource constraint environments, the trend is shifted towards lightweight cryptographic algorithm. Many lightweight cryptographic algorithms have been developed and also existed algorithms are modified in terms of resource constraint environments. One of such new procedures is utilizing three prime numbers for RSA cryptosystem, which is not easily breakable. Our approach using three prime number rather than two prime-dependent systems to get (n) with same length of standard RSA but less bits for prime numbers. The suggested algorithm has speed enhancement on standard RSA key generation side and decryption side by utilizing three primes and the Chinese Reminder Theorem (CRT). The results indicate that the average of speed improvement is ~80% in key generation process, ~96% in decryption process, and only 4% in the encryption process.Â Â Â

Â  Monitoring small crowd of people as tourists in different country always create recurrence issues to their tour-guides such as someone is lost somewhere, losing important documents and getting sick in the middle of the crowd. Similarly, during the Hajj season, such issues occur while millions of Muslims are gathered in two popular cities, Mecca and Medina, of Saudi Arabia. At the peak of the Hajj season, Mecca is identified as the most crowded place when pilgrims all over the world along with their respective tour-guides known as Mutawwif are resided in the city. Thus, communication between the crowd and their respective tour guides offers useful dynamic multi-user tracking data which is essential for close monitoring purposes. This study explores the usage feasibility of dynamic multi-user tracking data in order to provide a context-aware and simple communication means in the form of mobile application to both pilgrims and Mutawwifs for resolving their recurrence issues. The application can be used by the pilgrims to send current location and purpose for contacting the Mutawwif. At the same time, the Mutawwif is able to locate their respective pilgrims and aware of their pilgrimsâ€™ current location and needs. The prototype of the system is developed by using software engineering approach to test the feasibility of using multi-user tracking data in such situation. The prototype has been evaluated and fulfilled the intended requirements for monitoring small crowd. As a conclusion, the prototype offers an alternative for Malaysian Mutawwifs to aware of pilgrimsâ€™ issues and track their need and location at real time during Hajj season. Similarly, the pilgrims also can communicate their needs and problems to their respective Mutawwifs.Â Â

End-Point Information Security in the Healthcare Industry: A Critical Review
Authors: Uzzaman Arif , . .
Published: April 2019

The ability of the healthcare industry to keep abreast with the evolving trends in endpoint information security depends on combinations of measures. In the current literature, some of these measures include the development of analytics capable of spotting intruders on time, embracing quick reactions to potential or detected intrusions, and the decision to employ robust system defenses. In this paper, the main aim was to review the current literature regarding the subject of endpoint information security, with critical insights gained from the case of the healthcare industry. Findings suggest that the healthcare industry forms one of the most attractive arenas for security attackers. Some of the healthcare organizations that have been victims of recent security attacks include the Californian Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center that experienced a data breach in February 2016 and MedStar Health Inc. (in the same month). In the following month, San Diegoâ€™s Alvaro Hospital Medical Center was also targeted for cyber attack. Hence, some algorithms have been proposed to counter these attacks; including the use of SOA-based EHRs, the implementation of the RBAC model, the use of k-anonymity, k-unlinkability, and the SQL searching mechanisms that target the patientsâ€™ encrypted data. Also, some strategies have been proposed as best practices in endpoint information security. These strategies include the management of identity lifecycles, the establishment of risk-aware cultures, the management of third-party security compliance, and securing healthcare firmsâ€™ devices in terms of design. Overall, it is evident that the complexity of endpoint information security in the healthcare industry (due to the evolution of applications such as virtualization and cloud computing) implies that the ability to survive from future security attacks will depend on the firmsâ€™ ability to keep abreast with industry demands.Â

Authors: Saleh Abdulnoor , Mohd Drus Sulfeeza , Salbiah M. Shariff Siti
Published: April 2019

Researches in technology adoption among the Middle Eastern countries are more concentrated on e-government, e-commerce, and internet banking domains. Higher education institutions (HEIs) in these countries fall behind their Western counterparts due to the cutting edge technology adopted for research, teaching, and collaboration in the Western countries. One of the Middle Eastern countries, which is the focus of this research, Yemen, still adopt the conventional way of teaching in the HEIs, which could result in failures to accomplish the optimal desired educational performance. Higher education sector in Yemen faces a number of obstacles and challenges in delivering a good education to its entire population in terms of lack of reliable infrastructure; limited financial resources; lack of teaching staff and expertise; and lack of IT personnel to manage the existing restricted IT infrastructure. Cloud computing, a pool of computer-related resources and services, is seen as one of new technologies which can assist in improving educational delivery in Yemen. Thus, this study firstly, identified the factors that influence the cloud computing adoption in general. Then, it categorized these factors into four (4) domains, namely technological, organizational, environmental and individual domains; and lastly, validated the selected factors using semi-structured interview with IT experts. Based on the validation session with the IT experts, the factors were ranked based on their applicability and suitability in Yemeniâ€™s higher education environments and 13 factors were selected. These 13 factors are adopted from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. Then, a conceptual framework was developed using these 13 factors to identify the significant factors that influence cloud computing adoption in HEIs in Yemen. It is hoped by having a better understanding on the factors that influence cloud computing adoption in HEIs in Yemen, the responsible parties such as the government agencies, HEIs managements and staff will be more prepared to ensure successful adoption of cloud computing in their HEIs and ultimately help Yemen to improve its higher education delivery to its people.Â Â

Authors: Delbio A. , Abilasha R. , Ilankumaran M.
Published: April 2019

Language is a tool used to convey oneâ€™s thoughts, feelings and needs. Mother tongue is the language acquired by everyone ever since his birth. A learner encounters mother tongue influence while learning or speaking a foreign language or target language. Mother tongue influence is something that affects a personâ€™s thought process in a sense that he thinks in mother tongue and expresses in English or a second language. People use incorrect pronunciation of words while communicating in English language as they are influenced by the sound patterns of their mother tongue. A second language learner has an unconscious preference to convey his customs from his first language to the target language. The influence of mother tongue has become a significant region and is generally referred to as â€˜Language Interferenceâ€™. Every language learner comes across this issue. Students, sometimes, use words from their parent language while communicating in English. This paper speaks about the difficulties faced by the learners of the second language and the causes of first language influence. This paper attempts to bring out the ways to avoid the overwhelmed influence of mother tongue and gives some notions to the students to develop their second language skills.Â Â

Authors: A.V Yudenkov , S.E. Terentyev , A.E Kovaleva
Published: April 2019

The paper studies the possibility of determining and classifying the crisis as a complex system by a remote observer on the basis of subjective information. Description and analysis of complex systems is a fundamentally unsolvable problem. However, there may be a partial solution to the problem through the use of multilevel modeling. Therefore, the development of new fairly common methods for modeling complex systems is an urgent task. The aim of the work is to develop fairly common methods of modeling complex systems in crisis. For this purpose, the evolution of the system is considered at three levels: micro level, meso level and macro level. At the micro level such concepts as unit of information, growth of information are considered. At the macro level, two models describing system crises are proposed. The simulation is based on stochastic differential equations and the theory of phase transitions. At the micro level, the process of transition from one stable state to another is studied. It is assumed that the remote macroscopic observer receives information about the evolution of the system. The new results include the following. A new interpretation of information from the quantum-statistical point of view. Unlike Shannonâ€™s information in this paper, the information is associated with the phase space of the system. This makes it possible to apply basic physical and mathematical methods to the study of the evolution of different nature of systems. An analogue of the second principle of thermodynamics at the micro level-the principle of maximum information is obtained. The obtained results allowed justifying the use of Langevin equations for crisis modeling, as well as to obtain an analogy between the types of crises and phase transitions. The paper considers illustrating examples of complex systems in the process of transition from one stable state to another.Â

The aim of investigations is to study the resistance of agro-gray heavy loamy soil to heavy metal pollution and acidification on the basis of determining corresponding parameters of buffering, as well as microbiological activity, as a biological diagnosis of fertility potential under stress conditions.The object of investigations is the agro-gray soil of different cultivation degrees: fertile and infertile. In fertile soil, the humus content in barren soil was 2.2-2.5 % and that in fertile soil was 5.4 %.A model of soil resistance to heavy metals and acidification has been developed. The low level of stability of the agro-gray soil appears when the maximum Langmuir adsorption value is less than 91 mM / kg for zinc, less than 104 mM / kg for copper, less than 93 mM / kg for lead, and less than 61 mM / kg for cadmium. The average level of stability is provided for zinc, copper and lead in the range from 91 to 143 mM / kg, 104 - 130 mM / kg and 61 - 132 mM / kg, respectively. A high level of soil stability is guaranteed if the maximum adsorption value exceeds 93 - 143 mM / kg. Â Bio diagnostics included a series of experiments with imitation of pollution and acidification. Soil pollution was modeled by adding 200 and 600 mg / kg of copper to it (experiment 1). In experiment 2, soil was polluted by cadmium at the rate of 10, 30 and 100 MAC. The exposition was 1, 10, 35 and 57 days.Acidification of the soil was simulated by adding dilute sulfuric acid at a rate of 0.018, 0.044, and 0.120 mM / l (experiment 3).In experiment 4, the effect of zinc on the activity of azotobacter in barren and fertile soil was studied. The dose of zinc was 50 and 100 mg / kg.It was established that when the content of humus is not less than 5 %, the average decrease in activity for all groups of microorganisms was not more than 20 % as compared with clean samples. When the humus content was below 3 %, the microbiological activity decreased by more than 30 %.Â Â
Construction of Inverse Unit Regular Monoids from a Semilattice and a Group
Authors: V.K Sreeja
Published: April 2019

This paper is a continuation of a previous paper [6] in which the structure of certain unit regular semigroups called R-strongly unit regular monoids has been studied. A monoid S is said to be unit regular if for each element s ÃŽ S there exists an element u in the group of units G of S such that s = sus. Hence where su is an idempotent and is a unit. A unit regular monoid S is said to be a unit regular inverse monoid if the set of idempotents of S form a semilattice. Since inverse monoids are R unipotent, every element of a unit regular inverse monoid can be written as s = eu where the idempotent part e is unique and u is a unit. Here we give a detailed study of inverse unit regular monoids and the resultsÂ  are mainly based on [10]. The relations between the semilattice of idempotents and the group of units in unit regular inverse monoids are better identified in this case.Â .

Published: April 2019

In the mathematical model with multiple input variables, the sensitivity analysis of the input variables is an important step to ensure the reliability of the mathematical model. In order to optimize the ship manoeuvring simulation, in particular the optimization of the trajectory ship, the sensitivity analysis should be performed in the mathematical model to select the group of the most sensitive hydrodynamic coefficients. In this paper, the author applied the sensitivity analysis method in mathematics model of ship manoeuvring programming in order to optimize the ship trajectory of Esso Bernicia 193000DWT tanker model.Â Â

This study investigates the inï¬‚uence of friction pressure at a givenÂ  burn-off length on the microhardness, tensile properties and microstructure of the welded joints from steel 32-2-Mn and 40-Cr-Ni. Phase transformations occurring in the materials to be welded as a result of thermal deformation effects are analyzed. The change in the length of the thermomechanical affected zone (TMAZ) depending on the friction pressure is shown. The results of the distribution of microhardness in the weld, clearly illustrating the formation of hardened and weakened areas. The results of tensile tests of welded joints are given. Analyzed the place of fracture at various welding parameters. The necessity of studying the distribution of internal residual stresses to explain the mechanism of fracture of welded joints is shown.Â Â
Semantico-Functional Features of Expressive Derivatives in the Artistic Discourse of V. Makanin

Published: April 2019

The paper is devoted to the study of semantic and functional features of expressive derivatives, both usual and occasional, in the artistic gist of the novel â€œAsanâ€ by V. Makanin, as well as their role in structuring the individual-authorâ€™s linguistic picture of the world. It has been proven that the derivation of expressive lexemes is the result of improvisation according to established patterns, and that the formation of occasional substantives, adjectives and verbs involved the main methods of the Russian word derivation. It is noted that in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin, in the substantive word-formation, suffixation plays a leading role, which takes place in the sphere of abstractness and includes such lexical-semantic groups as expressive substantives with the meaning of a person, expressive substantives with the meaning of abstracted action or an abstract feature with connotation, as a rule, negative and/or reduced colloquial connotation. While in the sphere of adjectival and verbal word formation, confixation and prefixation, as the formation of expressiveness, is most productive. The paper considers the phenomenon of semantic word formation, describes the formation of semantic derivatives, including in the field of occasional vocabulary. Expressive derivatives in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin are a bright sign of his individual style, an important means of expressing the world view and outlook of the writer.Â Â
Scientific and Practical Aspects of Bitumen Emulsion Mastic Creation

Published: April 2019

It is interesting to consider the possible application as an alternative raw material in the manufacture of bituminous emulsion material residual bitumen grade BNN 80/120, production technology which implies a significant reduction in the proportion of paraffinic hydrocarbons by allocating them in the oil fractions in the evacuation of heavy petroleum residues. As a raw material in the production of BEM they should use the bitumen obtained from the heavy oils of naphthenic aromatic base with a minimum content (up to 2% by weight) [1] of high-molecular straight-chain paraffinic hydrocarbons (P-HC), whose reserves are largely limited and difficult to access. In this regard, the expansion of the raw material base of bitumen production due to the involvement of HOR resinous paraffin base confirms the relevance of the studies. The difficulties in the production of insulating BEMs, that meet the requirements of GOST 30693-2000 on the basis of oxidized HOR paraffin base, are explained by the fact that protective coatings (PK) from such materials with the decrease in the glass transition temperature (point) are characterized by an increased intensity of internal stress (Î´v) in the volume of BEM, in which the increase of the strength growth intensity (Î´p) occurs, so premature spontaneous destruction occurs in the process of oxidative destruction, i.e. in the conditions of their operation. This is explained by the fact that at the temperatures above Tst, highly elastic and plastic deformations develop in bitumen, and internal stresses relax easily. With decreasing Tst, the rigidity of bitumen increases sharply, the relaxation processes decelerate, and internal stresses increase substantially.Â Â
