A cross-sectional survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 158 entrepreneurs in Oman. Data were analyzed through the structural equation modeling technique using SmartPLS. The results indicated that performance expectancy, habit, social influence, trust (TR), ITK, and entrepreneurs’ innovativeness (PI) significantly affect Omani entrepreneurs’ intention to adopt IoT. Nonetheless, the results show that there is no significant relationship between hedonic motivation, effort expectancy, price value, and facilitating conditions to adopt IoT. This study contributes to previous literature by incorporating entrepreneurs’ innovativeness, ITK, and trust into UTAUT2. Furthermore, this study was conducted in a Middl...

On the scalp, limbs, or abdomen, it manifests as a single, isolated lesion that affects multiple layers of skin and, on occasion, the bone. This is the most common form in which it presents itself. There has been some speculation that the condition could have a genetic component, a component related to the environment, or a component related to an exogenous factor. As of the end of 2013, there had been a total of approximately 500 cases reported from all over the world. The aim of the present study was to describe a rare case of ACC. An infant was diagnosed with ACC and a scalp lesion. The lesion was followed and described over one year.

A MANET is an Ad Hoc network that provides freedom of movement to the network's nodes. In a MANET, The development of routing protocols is one of the main challenges and much research has been done to evaluate the current protocols to improve them or to develop new protocols. There are several protocols that have been tested in the past and each protocol has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the applications. In this paper, we evaluate Dynamic MANET On-demand routing protocol (DYMO), Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing protocol (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR). We evaluate the performance based on throughput, dropped packets and end-to-end delay.

In order to get a high transmission range with high data rates, techniques must be in place to compensate for the dispersion caused by fiber nonlinearity. Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) are the trending dispersion compensation techniques in optical fiber communication. The use of DCF and FBG as a method of dispersion compensation can notably enhance the overall performance of the system. Broadening is a function of distance as well as the Dispersion parameter (D). The dispersion parameter is given in ps/nm/km and changes from fiber to fiber and also is a function of wavelength. In this paper, we investigate pre-, post-, and symmetrical compensating schemes in three different compensating models: DCF, FBG, and DCF cascaded to FBG. The system performance was evaluated in terms of Q-factor and Bit Error Rate (BER) for one optical channel communication system at 120 Gbps Return to Zero (RZ) signal launched over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) of 100 km by using OptiSystem 7.0 software.

BERTool is used to do comparison under MATLAB software package. For this purpose, two arbitrary channel response are selected. Flat Fading Channel transfer function is [1 0.7 0.5] and Frequency Selective Fading Channel Transfer function is [0.9 0.7 0.5 0.3]. Flat Fading Channel is used to model rural area effect on signal transmission and Frequency Selective Fading is used to model urban area. LMS, RLS use channel estimation techniques to first estimate the behavior of channel by using training symbols and then equalize its effect by creating opposite response to channel; while CMA works on blind estimation i.e. it does not know the behavior of channel it uses general algorithm to equalize channel.

Manhattan Mobility Model is proposed generally for urban areas that have grid streets topology, this model is organized in a specific way where there are number of vertical and horizontal streets. In Adhoc networks, routing protocols play a vital role in the network's performance because it defines the way of selecting a path from the source node to the destination. In this paper, we are evaluating the performance of three routing protocols namely AODV, DSDV and DSR. The performance evaluation has been done using Network Simulator (NS-2). The comparison was based on the Throughout, Goodput, End-to-End Delay and Network Coverage Area. In our simulation, AODV shows better performance in Throughput and Goodput and DSR performs better in the Network Coverage Area. The performance of the three protocols is comparable with respect to End-to-End Delay.

The main purpose of widespread distribution enables users to share knowledge between one another. As a result, data transmission and information sharing are effected due to malicious activities. Different techniques exist to protect user authentication, data privacy, and copyrights. Two main techniques that improve security and data protection are Cryptography and Steganography. Cryptographic algorithms convert the secret message from plain text into cipher text. Then the message is sent over the communication channel. Steganography hides a secret message inside the carrier media. This proposal will investigate different Steganography algorithms and present novel algorithms employing text file as a carrier file. The proposed model hides secret data in the text file by applying various properties into file font format by inserting special symbols in the text file. In addition, the suggested model can be applied in both Unicode and ASCII code languages, regardless of the text file format. The proposed system achieves a high degree of the main Steganography attributes like hidden ratio, robustness, and transparency. In addition, this proposal provides guidance for other researchers in text Steganography algorithms. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My thanks are wholly devoted to God who has helped me all the way to complete this work successfully. I owe a debt of gratitude to my family for understanding and encouragement.

Reviewing the previous research on post-COVID-19 syndrome in children was the primary purpose of this study's literature analysis and review. We looked through a large number of research engines, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate. The findings indicated that COVID-19 in children continues to be present for a considerable amount of time after the symptoms have subsided. When considered as a whole, the COVID-19 protocol for children should be adhered to because it does not end when the symptoms are relieved. Following an infection, there is generally a documented potential for the involvement of pathogenesis in multiple organs as a result of the infection.

This has fascinated hackers to develop methods to use these normally innocent PDF files to create security threats via infection vectors PDF files. This is usually realized by hiding embedded malicious code in the victims’ PDF documents to infect their machines. This, of course, results in PDF Malware and requires techniques to identify benign files from malicious files. Research studies indicated that machine-learning methods provide efficient detection techniques against such malware. In this paper, we present a new detection system that can analyze PDF documents in order to identify benign PFD files from malware PFD files. The proposed system makes use of the AdaBoost decision tree with optimal hyperparameters, which is trained and evaluated on a modern-inclusive dataset, viz. Evasive-PDFMal2022. The investigational assessment demonstrates a lightweight-accurate PDF detection system, achieving a...
