Today, with the rapid development of information technology in all areas of life, a large amount of information is created every second. In recent years, many network topologies have been proposed to find the most effective communication method. The folded hypercube is one of those networks, which is a variant of the hypercube, which is one of the most popular topologies for interconnection networks...
This paper presents the usability study of a cooking application, KitchenGeek with a wearable device, Smart M between two user groups, beginner and intermediate cookers to test if the application and device lowers the gap of time taken for both of the user groups to complete the cooking tasks. The results of this paper indicates that KitchenGeek and Smart M did lower the gap of time taken for task...
In biology, there is a research field ‘bioinformatics’ in which computers are used as a method for problem solving. Bioinformatics includes a topic that is related to the analysis of genetic information. To analyze genetic information, a homology search is used. The homology search detects similar parts of two base sequences. The Smith-Waterman algorithm is one of the most famous approaches for a...
To realize information system for reducing the traffic congestion, it is important to analyze the relationship between traffic congestion and route choice decision of each mobile object. In this paper, we show the characteristics of density clusters including percolation threshold in connection with route choice decision from analysis of simulation results on 100 × 100 non-diluted periodical square...
Flood, either flash flood or monsoon flood is one of the disasters that occur in Malaysia annually. A document called Directive 20 has been issued by the Malaysian Government to guide all related agencies to manage any disasters including flood, effectively. The aim is to promote coordination among the parties involved and to share any related flood information which may lead to a better decision...

Kids are introduced to and participated on internet usage from a very young age. Unfortunately, while they can build their skills to use technology quite speedily, this is not the case for their language prowess. There are double meaning words with one of its meaning being indecent or of an adult nature. As most kids cannot distinguish this, there are times when their innocent search leads them to...
Inverses in the Nth Degree Truncated Polynomial Ring (NTRU) are computed using an adaptation of the Almost Inverse Algorithm, defined in the field of polynomials with binary and ternary coefficients. This research study solves the problem of finding inverses using an elaborate algorithm which is extensible to polynomials with coefficients in varied fields, other than binary and ternary fields. An...
