Population size of classical genetic algorithm is determined constantly. Its size remains constant over the run. For more complex problems, larger population sizes need to be avoided from early convergence to produce local optimum. Objective of this research is to evaluate population resizing i.e. dynamic population sizing for Genetic Algorithm (GA) using cloning strategy. We compare performance of proposed method and traditional GA employed to Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) of A280.tsp taken from TSPLIB. Result shown that GA with dynamic population size exceed computational time of traditional GA.

Automatic prediction of image aesthetic appeal is an important part of multimedia and computer vision research, as it contributes to providing better content quality to users. Various features and learning methods have been proposed in the past to predict image aesthetic appeal more accurately. The effectiveness of these proposed methods often depend on the data used to train the predictor. Since aesthetic appeal is a subjective construct, factors that influence the subjectivity in aesthetic appeal data need to be understood and addressed. In this paper, we look into the subjectivity of aesthetic appeal data, and how it relates with image characteristics that are often used in aesthetic appeal prediction. We use subject bias and confidence interval to measure subjectivity, and check how they might be influenced by image content category and features.

Every year, the number of people who want to own a house by credit increase, therefore the chances of increasing problem loans will be greater. Non-Performing Loan (NPL) is an indicator to assess the performance of bank functions. The higher the NPL value, the performance of the bank is considered worse. In order to maintain the caution of banks (creditors) in the provision of credit, the bank needs to assess and determine the criteria of debtors who can be given credit. So the bank can make decisions precisely and accurately. In this research, the Researcher will design decision support system with Mamdani fuzzy logic method with the resulted output in the form of "rejected" or "approved" decision. The accuracy rate in this study is 98%. 2% of the difference consists of 63.64% is a debtor with NPL credit status (problematic). After the system was designed in this study, the researcher conducted an analysis to see the user behavior when using the system. The method used is Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The result of TAM analysis is the simultaneous relationship among of all variables on the acceptance of information technology (acceptance of IT) have a positive impact. However, a partial relationship between perceived usefulness and attitude toward using does not have a positive effect.

Several interesting properties of a special type of matrix that has a row sum equal to the column sum are shown with the proofs. Premagic matrix can be applied to strongly connected directed network graph due to its nodes conservation flow. Relationships between Markov Chain, ideal flow and random walk on directed graph are also discussed.

A braid is any sequence of crossings of the -strand braid with a positive number n, provided none of the strands are self-crossing. The idea is that braids can be organized into groups, in which the group operation is *, which means: “do the first braid on a set of strands, and then follow it with a second on the twisted strandâ€. This study dealt with the formulation of additional basic properties of mathematical braids and the connection of mathematical braids to exponential theorems. Moreover, the researchers developed a program that could generate the total number of crossings and the total number of generators in an n-strand braid with a positive number n.

The impact and requirements for implementing stratospheric or high altitude vehicles for communications coverage may vary from one geographical location to another. These variations may impose significant constraints on energy and various key parameters of the vehicle’s operation and performance.This paper therefore, examines the potential for autonomous fixed-wing unmanned solar-powered High Altitude Platform Station or Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) to provide persistent communications coverage. As a solar dependent platform, the potential for harnessing green energy and long platform endurance makes it an attractive communications coverage option. However, the variation of latitude and seasons across the globe presents an implementation constraint and challenges power availability and coverage capability. This paper investigates how the services of a typical solar-powered HAPS are affected by latitude and season. It shows that the degree of insolation directly affects the unmanned aircraft’s altitude, hence, its footprint diameter and power available to the communications payload. The paper highlights effective energy management algorithms as key to successful implementation of solar-powered unmanned HAPS especially at challenging latitudes and seasons

Tourism is one of the methods to publish the beauty of nature or the uniqueness of culture in a region that spreads from the coast up to the mountains. The distribution and the access to tourist attractions require mobile application. In creating the application, Bellman – Ford algorithm was used to get the shortest route. The algorithm was the Bellman – Ford algorithm which was used to calculate the shortest distance to the tourist attraction on the weighted graph. Testing the functionality of the application used a black box. The results showed that functions on the mobile application could run well. The compatibility testing showed 100% compatibility with a number of Android devices. In addition, the usability testing showed that the application was appropriate to use with percentage by 82.7% of the 30 respondents. The "Rembang tourism" mobile application can be used by users of information about tourism.

Over the recent decades, the nature of multi core processors caused changing the serial programming model to parallel mode. There are several programming languages for the parallel multi core processors and processors with different architectures that these languages have faced programmers to challenges to achieve higher performance. In additional, different scheduling methods in the programming languages for the multi core processors have significant impact on efficiency of the programming languages. Therefore, this article addresses the investigation of the conventional scheduling techniques in the programming languages of multi core processors which allows researcher to choose more suitable programing languages by comparing efficiency than application. Several languages such as Cilk++، OpenMP، TBB and PThread were studied and their scheduling efficiency has been investigated by running Quick-Sort and Merge-Sort algorithms as well

For people with hearing disabilities, not only would give them difficulties in going through their everyday lives but also sometimes could be life threatening. In this research we proposed a simple, yet robust approach for helping the hearing-impaired people in identifying the important sounds around them by using two microphones as input channel that could be worn around the person’s head as a substitute for their ears. This device then could be used to record the situation of the surroundings, and then the system would estimate the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of the sound sources, then detect and classify them using Support Vector Machine (SVM) into target speech or noise category. As the results, system’s classifier could produce FAR and FRR as low as 2%, in which 274 out of 280 samples were successfully classified as target speeches and 22 from the total of 27 noise samples were successfully classified as noise
