Abstract

Plant diseases are a major cause of destruction and death of most plants and especially trees. However, with the help of early detection, this issue can be solved and treated appropriately. A timely and accurate diagnosis is critical in maintaining the quality of crops. Recent innovations in the field of deep learning (DL), especially in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great breakthroughs across different applications such as the classification of plant diseases. This study aims to evaluate scratch and pre-trained CNNs in the classification of tomato plant diseases by comparing some of the state-of-the-art architectures including densely connected convolutional network (Densenet) 120, residual network (ResNet) 101, ResNet 50, ReseNet 30, ResNet 18, squeezenet and Vgg.net. The comparison was then evaluated using a multiclass statistical analysis based on the F-Score, specificity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy. The dataset used for the experiments was drawn from 9 classes of tomato diseases and a healthy class from PlantVillage. The findings show that the pretrained Densenet-120 performed excellently with 99.68% precision, 99.84% F-1 score, and 99.81% accuracy, which is higher compared to its non-trained based model showing the effectiveness of using a combination of a CNN model with fine-tuning adjustment in classifying crop diseases.

Abstract

A recent development in the restaurant industry is the use of on-site restaurant interactive self-service technology (ORISST) by some operators who are moving away from traditional service methods. ORISST allows customers to manage dining services independently through interfaces such as self-service kiosks or tabletop tablets. However, the gap in understanding customer satisfaction regarding ORISST is notable as there is a lack of technology-related research in the restaurant industry. The research objectives of this study is to investigate the significant relationship between the four dimensions of SSTQUAL (functionality, design, enjoyment, customization) and customer satisfaction in using ORISST. In this study, quantitative research was conducted. Data was collected via google form from 293 STML students at UUM who had experience using ORISST. The findings of this study show that functionality, design and enjoyment have a significant positive relationship with customer satisfaction in using ORISST, with functionality being the most significant determinant. In contrast, customization has no significant relationship with customer satisfaction in using ORISST. All these findings may provide valuable suggestions to restaurant operators on how to properly implement ORISST to improve their business performance and attract more customers. This study has broadened the understanding of customer satisfaction towards ORISST which has yet to be fully explored.

Abstract

Rainfall data is essential for applications such as climate monitoring, agricultural planning, flood forecasting, and water resource management. However, the interpretation of this data is often hindered by its high volume, variability, and multi-scale temporal nature. Effective visualization is critical not only for summarizing complex datasets but also for uncovering patterns, detecting anomalies, and facilitating informed decision-making. Despite the availability of numerous visualization techniques, selecting the most suitable method for rainfall data, especially across varying temporal resolutions is a challenging task. This study presents a comparative analysis of widely used data visualization techniques in the context of rainfall data. The methodology was structured into three phases: understanding the nature of rainfall data, reviewing relevant visualization techniques, and conducting a comparative content analysis. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) evaluation was used to assess each technique’s analytical potential, while a temporal suitability comparison was performed across five time granularities: yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly. Findings show that no single technique is universally effective. Instead, each method demonstrates specific strengths and limitations depending on the temporal scale and analytical objective. Line charts and bar charts are well-suited for lower-frequency data, while heat maps and scatter plots are more effective for high-resolution, time-sensitive patterns. Box plots and histograms provide valuable insights into data distribution and variability, whereas map-based visualizations excel in spatial analysis but require enhancements for temporal exploration. The study concludes that visualization effectiveness depends on aligning method selection with data characteristics and analytical goals. A thoughtful combination of techniques is often necessary to achieve clarity, reduce misinterpretation, and enhance decision support in rainfall data analysis.
