Crime generates significant losses, both human and economic. Every year, billions of dollars are lost due to attacks, crimes, and scams. Surveillance video camera networks generate vast amounts of data, and the surveillance staff cannot process all t...

This research presents a solution to the family tourism route problem by considering daily time windows. To find the best solution for travel routing, the modified adaptive large neighborhood search (MALNS) method, using the four destructions and the...

The problem of delay-range-dependent stability analysis for linear systems with distributed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations is studied without using the model transformation and delay-decomposition approach. The less conservative stab...

In the past decade, the rapid spread of large volumes of online information among an increasing number of social network users is observed. It is a phenomenon that has often been exploited by malicious users and entities, which forge, distribute, and...

Many low-cost platforms that support floating-point arithmetic, such as microcontrollers and field-programmable gate arrays, do not include fast hardware or software methods for calculating the square root and/or reciprocal square root. Typically, su...

Recently, there has been a sharp increase in the production of smart devices and related networks, and consequently the Internet of Things. One concern for these devices, which is constantly becoming more critical, is their protection against attacks...

The problem of segmenting linearly ordered data is frequently encountered in time-series analysis, computational biology, and natural language processing. Segmentations obtained independently from replicate data sets or from the same data with differ...

This paper investigates numerical properties of a flux-based finite element method for the discretization of a SEIQRD (susceptible-exposed-infected-quarantined-recovered-deceased) model for the spread of COVID-19. The model is largely based on the SE...

Business process optimization (BPO) has become an increasingly attractive subject in the wider area of business process intelligence and is considered as the problem of composing feasible business process designs with optimal attribute values, such a...

This paper proposes the use of motivational features in mobile applications to support adolescents’ education in sustainable travel urban behavior, so that they become more mindful of their environmental impact. To this effect, existing persuasive st...

Renewable energy systems have been extensively developed and they are attractive to become widespread in the future because they can deliver energy at a competitive price and generally do not cause environmental pollution. However, stand-alone energy...

We investigate a kinetic model for compressible non-ideal fluids. The model imposes the local thermodynamic pressure through a rescaling of the particle’s velocities, which accounts for both long- and short-range effects and hence full thermodynamic...

Situational awareness is a critical aspect of the decision-making process in emergency response and civil protection and requires the availability of up-to-date information on the current situation. In this context, the related research should not on...

The simulation of surface resolved particles is a valuable tool to gain more insights in the behaviour of particulate flows in engineering processes. In this work the homogenized lattice Boltzmann method as one approach for such direct numerical simu...

Although the grid convergence index is a widely used for the estimation of discretization error in computational fluid dynamics, it still has some problems. These problems are mainly rooted in the usage of the order of a convergence variable within t...

Residue number system (RNS) is known for its parallel arithmetic and has been used in recent decades in various important applications, from digital signal processing and deep neural networks to cryptography and high-precision computation. However, c...

Dam embankment breaches caused by overtopping or internal erosion can impact both life and property downstream. It is important to accurately predict the amount of erosion, peak discharge, and the resulting downstream flow. This paper presents a new...
