There are several physical, chemical and biological factors that determine the portability of water. Engineering challenges in solving environmental problems are increasingly being worked using artificial intelligence (AI) computing methods. In order to assess the applicability of this tool, this paper presents the development of a new water quality index based on the fuzzy water quality index (fuzzy water quality index -FWQI). For measurement of water quality parameters, water samples were taken from twenty water stations located in the centers and outskirts of the province of Basra included the following incomes: acidity level, electrical conductivity, turbidity, temperature, and basal or alkaline. The results revealed the ability of the proposed FWQI to evaluate water quality during the study period compared to other reference indexes. Finally, the proposed indicator can be a useful tool for decision-making and the environment.","PeriodicalId":260292,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Communication & Information Technology (ICICT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122716740","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}

This is not limited to the workplace and extends to academic institutions such as schools and universities. Recording attendance at the workplace has become automated in many industries using a range of biometric technologies. A key part of these methods is that there is a high amount of human contact involved ranging from the sharing of scanners to queuing and/or crowding at key entrances and exits. This is a problem in a viral pandemic where airborne and surface to person transmission is possible. Due to the covid-19 pandemic in 2020, many places have stopped using these biometric attendance technologies and a few have reverted to use other methods like pen and paper. This is a partial solution as they still involve crowding and the unnecessary sharing of surfaces. Using the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the IBM cloud, an android app has been created to help solve this problem so users can use their personal mobile devices in place of existing biometric technology. The proposed solution system uses existing mobile phone technology to run an application that will enable users to record their attendance via Wi-Fi without the need to queue or share surfaces. Being able to utilize mobile devices already owned by the users makes this a cheap and easy system to implement to achieve the goal of accurate attendance recording. The results obtained show the system gives high accuracy in recording the attendance while minimizing human contact with others in the working place with low cost, and less complexity.","PeriodicalId":260292,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Communication & Information Technology (ICICT)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115108062","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 numerical simulation depends mainly on geometry of the asphalt layer and glass cover. Effect of three parameters of the solar intensity, thickness of the asphalt layer and glass cover have been investigated. It is found that highest surface temperature reaches into 96°C of the pavement which has 100 mm thickness of the asphalt layer and 25 mm of the glass cover, and their surface exposed into 800 W/m2 of the solar radiation. In contrast of the asphalt thickness, increment of the glass cover thickness has a slight effect on enhancement of the pavement surface temperature. The purpose of placing the glass cover on the asphalt layer is lowering of the heat dissipation from the asphalt layer into the surrounding environment.","PeriodicalId":260292,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Communication & Information Technology (ICICT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125764180","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}

This means that there is an increasing demand for wireless applications with high data rates and low errors while the user is moving. This is because of the increasing use of online gaming, web browsing, and exchanging data within the network. This increasing demand with the increasing users in the network leads to having a heavy network in some areas and an empty one in other areas. the problem here is that if the new network does not have an available channel to be used, the user performs scheduling to wait until it has a channel to connect. Because of this, studying scheduling algorithms depend on the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of the network becomes an important topic to research. In this paper, three user scheduling algorithms are used to evaluate the performance of a Multi-User Single-Input Single-Output (MU-SISO) network based on the Block Error Rate (BLER) and throughput. The three algorithms are the Maximum Throughput, Round Robin (RR), and Proportional Fair (PF) algorithms. The study is performed under changing the bandwidth of the network and the number of users that connected to the single antenna. The carrier frequency used is the 2.6 GHz to satisfy the Vehicular Long Term Evolution (LTE-V) with the high-speed scenario. The simulation results show that the RR is suitable to use when the highway scenario is used in case of attention to the error rates while the maximum throughput is useful to use when maximizing the network throughput is important.","PeriodicalId":260292,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Communication & Information Technology (ICICT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125919453","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, there is a lack of data which models deep learning techniques required for training. In this paper, we suggest a method for data augmentation based on the CGAN model. To synthesize realistic chest X-ray images, we proposed to set edge information of the image to the generator, which is used as supporting information to increase the reality of the generated images.

These attacks are one of the main challenges facing maritime networks, specially dedicated networks because of their weak infrastructure, which makes it easier for these networks to be exposed to this type of attack. To maintain a secure connection and increase the durability of that connection, an accurate attack detection system must be built. In this paper, we used machine learning algorithms to classify data as either attack or safe. we generated the dataset by building a scenario for the SANET in the network simulator (ns-2). Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) was used as the routing protocol in this simulation, AODV reduces the burden on the network compared with the other protocols (reduces messages flooding in the network). Three machine learning algorithms which are Logistic Regression, Stochastic Gradient Descent and K-Nearest Neighbors were applied to the dataset and compared with each other in terms of precision in detection, the results show that the machine learning algorithms have the ability to detect attacks with higher performance.
