A generic self-learning emotional framework for machines

Abstract In nature, intelligent living beings have developed emotions to modulate their behavior as a fundamental evolutionary advantage. However, researchers seeking to endow machines with this advantage lack a clear theory from cognitive ...

A Comparison of Energy Consumption and Quality of Solutions in Evolutionary Algorithms

Evolutionary algorithms are extensively used to solve optimisation problems. However, it is important to consider and reduce their energy consumption, bearing in mind that programming languages also significantly affect energy efficiency. T...

Design of Fatigue Life Test System of the Energy Efficient Heavy Transmission

During the development process of heavy transmission,a cyclic loading fatigue life test is required to carry out in a certain load to verify the reliability of the internal gear,shaft,bearing,box,and the overall system. In order to adapt th...

The Development of a Secure Internet Protocol (IP) Network Based on Asterisk Private Branch Exchange (PBX)

The research problem described in this article is related to the security of an IP network that is set up between two cities using hosting. The network is used for transmitting telephone traffic between servers located in Germany and the Ne...

Determination of orthodontic bracket and tooth adaptation using an X-ray micro-computer tomography scanner

The determination of the orthodontic brackets’ adaptation to the curvatures of teeth is a difficult topic to study. The complexity arise due to the different designs of their fitting surfaces, margins and curvatures of orthodontic brackets....

Aesthetics of digital formation with the beginning of the twenty-first century

Change is a characteristic of every revolution that occurred when it took place. The rise of the industrial revolution and the technological revolution accompanied effects on various aspects of life, economic, political, literary, artistic,...

Methodology for the design of automotive HUD graphical interfaces

The use of mobile devices inside vehicles while driving is generating an imminent safety risk. Due to this situation, one of the most relevant solutions is the Head-Up Display (HUD) system, which displays information about the system, statu...

Computer Modeling in Archaeology: The Case of Bronze and Iron Age Monumental Constructions of Armenia

The given contribution is devoted to the problem of computer modeling in archaeology. The territory of the Republic of Armenia is chosen as a target zone for investigations, which is considered in the context of historical and cultural deve...

Techno-economic feasibility analyses of grid- connected solar photovoltaic power plants for small scale industries of Punjab, Pakistan

The globally soaring energy prices and electricity shortfall are major hurdles in the economic development of Pakistan. To cope with periodic power outages, small and medium enterprise (SME) business owners have to fall back on alternate po...

Bone fracture detection through the two-stage system of Crack-Sensitive Convolutional Neural Network

Automated fracture detection is an essential part in a computer-aided tele-medicine system. Fractures often occur in human's arbitrary bone due to accidental injuries such as slipping. In fact, many hospitals lack experienced surgeons to di...

Resting-state EEG measures cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Cognitive dysfunction is common in Parkinson’s disease (PD). We developed and evaluated an EEG-based biomarker to index cognitive functions in PD from a few minutes of resting-state EEG. We hypothesized that synchronous changes in ...

ABCD: advanced blockchain DSR algorithm for MANET to mitigate the different security threats

Abstract Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) facilitate data communication across multiple nodes and hop stations, characterized by their dynamic topology. This inherent flexibility, however, makes MANETs vulnerable to various security threats,...

Competitiveness of Poland in the export of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) during EU membership

The aim of this article is to assess the competitiveness and specialisation of Polish knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) export during the years 2004–2022. The product mapping method is used, which is based on the values of two in...

Immersive educational innovation: Stakeholder perceptions on metaverse-based vocabulary learning in Saudi Arabia

This study investigates the educational potential and implications of Metaverse technologies—including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), lifelogging, and mirror worlds—for vocabulary instruction in the Saudi educational context....

Development of an Android-based Computer Based Test (CBT) In Middle School

Teachers still use a semi-conventional evaluation process. Namely, the exam process is carried out by utilizing social media to send students' exam results manually on paper. This kind of evaluation process is less effective and efficient, ...

The Role of Mixing in Astrophysics

The role of hydrodynamic mixing in astrophysics is reviewed, emphasizing its connections with laser physics experiments and inertial confinement fusion. Computer technology now allows us to use two-dimensional simulations, with complex micr...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV
