Pakistan has taken action in implementing this technology across the various banking, stake holding and merchant based sectors, which will be provided to their relevant consumers. Developing countries have been frontrunners in the research and implementation of NFC technology. Pakistan has recognized the vitality of this system and is making strides in their own right. Significant factors as to the delayed approval and acceptance of this mobile system will be explored in this study. UTAUT2 (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology), a widely accepted model used in technology, forms the basis of the ‘integrated framework’ research proposal. Significant factors will be determined through the use of this framework. The conceptual model which has been proposed, can be further defined by 15 factors which includes; Performance expectancy, Effort expectancy, Social influence, Facilitating expectancy, Hedonic motivation, Habit, Behavioral intention, Trust, Privacy, Cost, Security, Self- efficiency, Compatibility, Complexity and. A ‘mix mode’ survey which comprises of quantitative and qualitative methodologies in the form of online surveys will be acquired from the mobile users. AMOS and SPSS software will be used to conduct the analysis. As a beneficial factor, which has been identified in the previous research, the acceptance of this technology by individuals in the bank sectors holds relevant importance. The country and its population will both benefit from the NFC technology.","PeriodicalId":150928,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Applied Sciences (ICETAS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128340827","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}

The vision of pervasive computing is given by Mark Weiser in 1991. Pervasive computing offers such computing environments in which users are offered their desired services without requiring their dedicated or substantial attention. It supports users to achieve their desired goals/task with minimal user interaction. The applications of pervasive computing can be seen in various sub-domains including mobile and ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, location-aware systems, context-aware systems and smart environments (e.g. smart offices and smart homes). Sensing physical phenomena, human activity recognition, understanding and analysis can substantially play its role in realizing smart environments. In recent years, the domain of human activities recognition has got significant attention from researchers due its potential applications in smart environments. In the literature of smart environments, it is envisioned that a system could offer the best services to its users only if it is able to understand and recognize the actions/activities being performed by the user while present in the smart environment. Consequently, in this paper a low-cost system to recognize human activities is proposed. The proof-of-concept implementation of the proposed system is carried out and its usability is also conducted. The usability study results show that the proposed system is user friendly and significantly improves the user experience of smart home users.","PeriodicalId":150928,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Applied Sciences (ICETAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129472088","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}

The filter is formed by single mode fiber structure and 3 dB optical couplers. Mach Zehnder interferometer is basically used to measure relative phase shift between two collimated beams from a coherent light source caused by different length arm. Using this basic principle, the arm length differences are manipulated by cutting one of arms to analyze wavelength shift generated at the output. The experiment result shows the relationship tends to look logarithmic. It has some direct functions for practical fabrication of the filter.","PeriodicalId":150928,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Applied Sciences (ICETAS)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123229139","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}

Various brain regions are activated due to different mental and physical tasks. These sources can be localized using different optimization algorithms. This localization information is usable for diagnoses of brain disorders such as epilepsy, Schizophrenia, depression and Alzheimer. The brain signals are recorded through neuroimaging techniques such as MEG, EEG, fMRI and PET etc. Nevertheless, when EEG signals are used to reconstruct the active brain sources, then its termed as EEG source localization. The localization involves two phases: forward modeling and inverse modeling. The forward modeling is carried out to model the head using various numerical techniques. Some of them are finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM) and finite volume method (FVM). Furthermore, the solution of inverse problem is realized through usage of various optimization techniques such as minimum norm estimation (MNE), low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA), multiple signal classification (MUSIC) and multiple sparse priors (MSP). This research work discusses the results based on synthetically generated EEG data at an SNR level of 12 dB with Gaussian noise added linearly in data matrix. For forward modelling, boundary element method with 1 μA dipole amplitude at dipole frequency of 20Hz is utilized. The dipoles’ location is set randomly at 2000 and 5700 at CTF. The techniques mentioned above are applied on data and are compared with latest multiple sparse priors (MSP). The evaluation of results is done based on comparative analysis of free energy and localization error. The results shows superiority of MSP over classical algorithms.","PeriodicalId":150928,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Applied Sciences (ICETAS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126389898","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}

However, stability of perovskite solar cell is still a challenge for mass production and commercialization. Transport layer is one of concern to overcome the stability problem. Inorganic material such as CuSCN can be use as p-type transport layer and more robust from degradation compared to organic transport layer. Furthermore, CuSCN has excellent transparency, low-cost and simple fabrication, and high hole mobility. In this research, we use CuSCN as hole transport layer and deposited it using spin coating method. Optimized CuSCN layer was obtained by varied spin coating rotational speed. Afterwards, the completed devices were studied its stability. The result is, performance of optimized solar cell was degraded about 50% from its initial measurement after 14 days.","PeriodicalId":150928,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Applied Sciences (ICETAS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131015047","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}
