    An efficient gateway routing scheme for disaster recovery scenario

    No full text
    Natural disaster can strike at any time and can ruin large regions damaging houses, buildings, as well as physical communication infrastructure. Therefore, a network backup is essential in the disaster recovery areas as victims can contact their loved one in order to update the current situation as soon as possible. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile devices that dynamically communicate with each other without any physical infrastructure. This feature offers a solution for communication problems in disaster recovery and keeping the communication going in disaster areas. In this paper we propose an efficient routing selection scheme (GWRS) to overcome traffic congestion problems due to huge calls in disaster areas network. This new scheme provides a flexible and feasible approach in determining the best route. The routing scheme will simplify the selection of routes and prevent nodes from broadcasting packets to the entire network. In addition, this scheme eradicates any redundant nodes in each level of the routing table. Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing schemes was chose because the schemes show the best performance for reactive and proactive categories respectively in emergency scenarios. These schemes simulated in the same realistic environment of disaster recovery area. Then, the performance of the proposed scheme is compared to these two schemes

    Northeast Monsoon Effect on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Signal Attenuation at Kusza Observatory

    Northeast (NE) monsoon season in Malaysia was developed due to conjunction with cold air outbreaks from Siberia produce heavy rains, strong wind, and high humidity. This weather condition can affect the radio signal transmission which is crucial to spectrum user. This work investigates the effect of the wet season due to Northeast season on radio signal power within Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band at KUSZA Observatory (KO). Three of weather parameters (wind speed, humidity and rain rate) was considered with the radio signal variation. Measurement of these weather parameters and radio signal power level (dBm) were collected using weather station and spectrum analyzer respectively. From the result obtained, we found that wind speed played a role in radio signal attenuation indirectly. The combination of wind speed (km/h) along with high humidity (%) and rain rate(mm/s) during NE monsoon season have given a significant impact to a radio signal. These findings is useful to radio astronomer to determine the best period for radio astronomical observation with minimum interference considering weather condition. This study will also beneficial to spectrum user such as mobile telecommunication, wireless internet and radio broadcasting in managing and improving their services

    Performance comparison of some addition chain methods based on integer family

    A generalized version of an addition chain problem, in which one must find a chain that simultaneously satisfies a sequence on integer in ascending order, is NP-complete. There is no known algorithm which can calculate an optimal addition chain for a given number with any guarantees of reasonable timing or small memory usage. Several methods were introduced to calculate relatively short chain and they are most used to support scalar multiplication operation tailored to limited computational resources in elliptic curve cryptography. In reality, one method is no better than the other except on certain occasions and only for specific integers. In this studies, we evaluate some existing addition chain methods against each other for their competitive performance by categorizing integers into various groups as the input. This result can be used as a benchmark for which method is suitable in which condition anticipated

    Coffee plays an important role in the Indonesian economy, besides being a source of foreign exchange, it also provides community employment and a source of income for coffee growers. Indonesia's exports of green beans up to to % of the harvest. Coffee production is dominated by about million small farmers who mostly live in remote villages throughout the archipelago with different coffee-growing areas that show diversity in production systems. In general, Indonesian coffee holders are somewhat vulnerable due to small landholdings, relatively unstable income, and limited access to extension services. From the collected data, we can conclude that coffee farmers in Aceh are married, and they became farmers - years. Owned a coffee farm of Ha. Ha with - workers with a harvest period of -x each year. They have a net income of Rp. ,,-,,, choose to sell to middlemen. Therefore, one can conclude that coffee farmers in Aceh are financially good enough, but because of the high cost of the family by an average of children, their spending is high. So help is needed to increase their income again, with respect to marketing coffee, the restrictions of farmers are the price (.%), location (.%), products (.%), the buyer (.%), promotion (.%).Keywords - E-Marketing, Coffee Farmers, Marketing Mix, Indonesia

    An enumerative algorithm for the maximum clique problem

    No full text
    Partial enumerative algorithms are presented for maximum clique problems which are very easy to implement. Search results for efficient implementation of any graph for randomly generated graphs of up to 10 vertices and more than ten sides. Appropriate specifications are also provided for testing problems to facilitate future comparisons. In addition, to understand the maximum clique search without using any software. Search results are presented in the form of examples

    Analysis of causality relationship between the composite stock price index (CSPI) Jakarta with large companies in Indonesia

    The process of globalization lately, causes most countries pay great attention to the capital market, because it has an important and strategic role for a country's economic security. The existence of the global economic crisis has a significant impact on the condition of the Indonesian capital market. Capital market movements can be seen from the ups and downs of stock prices recorded in an index movement or better known as the Composite Stock Price Index (CSPI). This paper intends to examine the causality relationship between the Indonesian stock market and the Jakarta CSPI. The aim is to investigate the causality of the returns of large companies in Indonesia with the movement of CSPI stocks. The method used is granger causality test with Vector Autoregression (VAR) modeling and volatility modeling using GARCH model approach. Causality test results show that there is a direct relationship that affects and is influenced by the CSPI, and the relationship that affects each other between the company's stock market and the movement of the CSPI

    Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless technology provides an installation alternative that offers a lot of benefit compared to traditional open-cut method. It's called HDD because its steering ability to avoid existing utilities or other obstacles either horizontally, vertically and even pulled back where she got its name. HDD was developed in California in the 1970s and was introduced in Europe in 1986. Since year 1992 up to 2016 there are more than 40 thousand-unit HDD machine were sold worldwide. The aims of this study are to determine the present local authorities' technical requirements in HDD works, to determine the factors of HDD good practices and to develop a standard HDD's technical requirement. This research shall use mixed method in achieving the objectives. A descriptive and exploratory research design will be used for the study. The research design for this study contains the following consist of the research problem and research questions, sampling design, method of data collection, method of data analysis, validation/verification of the HDD standard technical requirements and its' frameworks. This study shall able to produce a standard HDD technical requirement and its' framework. With the establishment of a thorough and a standard local authority' technical requirements it's will able to educate the HDD contractors and assist them in carrying out their work properly, successfully and safely. It's will also able to educate the stake holders on how important to follow the stipulated technical requirements that contributed to the project success
