There was slightly different between male students and female students regarding skills required for using the board (87.2% and 85.5% respectively). Using the board could better attract students from mechanical, electrical and mechanical engineering for the learning (90.5–92.0%) than students from civil, environmental, manufacturing, biological and general engineering (80.0–88.5%). The older students (21–25 years old) trended to play more attention on the teaching than younger students (17–20 years old) when using the board for the study classes by the attention level of 88.8% compared to 85.6%.

In developing economies like Pakistan, companies having foreign ownership have more access towards external finance as compared to companies having domestic ownership. Data extracted from 70 non-financial sector companies for the period 2003–2013, was analyzed by using fixed effect model. The findings showed that investor protection has significant impact on external financing, which means companies having strong investor protection are more inclined towards investor protection. Therefore, we can say that good policies and proper rules and regulation may attract the foreign investors.","PeriodicalId":127868,"journal":{"name":"2016 Management and Innovation Technology International Conference (MITicon)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116757728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both parametric and non-parametric methods have been widely used to estimate the ROC curve as well as the AUC. In this study, a smoothing spline is proposed in order to provide an alternative of the ROC curve and AUC estimate. A logistic regression is selected as a base classifier for simulation cases of Gaussian and mixture of Gaussian data. The smoothing spline, bi-normal model and empirical method are compared in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) from the true ROC curve and the bias from the true AUC. The results indicate that the ROC curve and its AUC obtained from smoothing spline can provide a trade-off between the parametric bi-normal model and non-parametric empirical method, with 1.4% of bias and 7.75 of RMSE, on average for a dichotomous classification.","PeriodicalId":127868,"journal":{"name":"2016 Management and Innovation Technology International Conference (MITicon)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126159689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this paper presents a detailed study to demonstrate the image compression algorithm using the deep neural network (DNN). The proposed algorithm consists of 1) compressing image with auto encoder, and 2) decoding image. The proposed compressing image with auto encoder algorithm uses non-recurrent three-layer neural networks (NRTNNs) which use an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to update the weights of the networks. To evaluate the proposed algorithm performances, the Matlab program is used for implementations of the overall testing algorithm. From our simulation results, it shows that the proposed image compression algorithm is able to reduce the image dimensionality and is able to recall the compressed image with low loss.","PeriodicalId":127868,"journal":{"name":"2016 Management and Innovation Technology International Conference (MITicon)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134504111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulations result shows that practices of current local MSWM would release greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of 123.54 Gg CO2eq in 2035 after 50 years operation of the landfill. This paper focuses on developing scenarios of community-based recycling system for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions in Padang City. Observations and interviews to MSWM facilities and stakeholders were carried out to understand current condition of the local MSWM. 3 scenarios of improved recycling system were proposed based on the real condition and achievement of the current MSWM practice. Current MSWM practice and 3 improvement scenarios were simulated for the next 20 years (2016–2035) to understand the impact to global warming. GHG inventories of waste treatment activities before landfill and at landfill site was carried out using life cycle assessment (LCA). Meanwhile, methane emission from solid waste decomposition at landfill cells was simulated using Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) software. As a result, current MSWM practice shows recycling achievement of only 1.494% of the total waste generation in 2035. Scenario #3 suggests to increase the number of garbage bank, community waste treatment facility (TPS 3R), integrated waste treatment facility (TPST) and to install landfill gas recovery. This improvement results in the higher recycling achievement of 33.66 % and lower GHG emissions of around 96.594 Gg CO2eq compared to that of the current MSWM practice in 2035. While, the application of landfill gas recovery would further decrease the GHG emissions to 52.972 Gg CO2eq. Scenario #3 may be applied for Padang City.","PeriodicalId":127868,"journal":{"name":"2016 Management and Innovation Technology International Conference (MITicon)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127134478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though IOT has paved its way through all other fields of application; textile industry has not much of association with the IOT. It is high time that IOT is taken to the textile industry. The proposed system is called the ‘Interactive clothes’ that makes use of NFC and IOT. A NFC tag is embedded within the clothes that consists of a unique identity. A mobile application is developed that when scans the NFC tag present in the cloth links to a database stored in cloud. It provides a digital environment for both manufacturers and end users. For manufacturers, the system has the potential to identify cheap replicas, keep track on the loyal customers, minimise wastage of resources used for price tags and to track the goods using the cloud database. As for end users, the benefits are immense. The mobile application provides an interactive interface where users can get advice on matching the interactive cloth with other outfits, dressing according to the season, facilitating dry cleaning process, deciding whether it suits our skin tone, also helps us keep track of the frequency of use.","PeriodicalId":127868,"journal":{"name":"2016 Management and Innovation Technology International Conference (MITicon)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130904844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
