Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gedel, Ibrahim Alhassan Nwulu, Nnamdi Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021-01-26 Description An account of the resource Fifth-generation wireless (5G) mobile communication technology has been classified as a high wireless standard that is capable of handling internet of things, machine-to-machine, and device-to-device communication.  Consequently, there is a need to meet the very sensitive requirements of 5G, which include high coverage density, high speed, high capacity and low end-to-end delay. Of crucial importance is 5G’s passive infrastructure. This paper therefore presents a techno-economic analysis of the current telecommunication infrastructure, as well as investigating and determining the suitable passive infrastructure for 5G technology deployment. The paper outlines all the passive infrastructure elements and proposes a mathematical model to calculate the capital expenditure, operational expenditure, total cost of investment (TCI) or total cost of ownership (TCO) and net present value (NPV).  Experiments are performed using market prices from the national communication authority, the mobile network operators and the tower company of Ghana. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the variables that increase the TCO or TCI, NPV and return on investment, and to propose the most economical passive infrastructure architecture for easy implementation of 5G technology in Ghana and Africa.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-09-11 Description An account of the resource This paper presents a study of the most successful games during the last 34 last years (1986 – 2019). We observed that the 100 most ranked games are represented by 16 genres (adventure, role-playing, shooter, platform, puzzle, strategy, hack and slash/beat 'em up, real time strategy, turn-based strategy, point-and-click, indie, racing, sport, fighting, arcade and simulator). These genres are then compares to show which genres are more attractive for players. As a result, we observed that 6 genres among the 16 represent the most ranked games (adventure, RPG, shooter, platform, puzzle, and strategy). They represent 0.83 of the successful games. This allowed us to recommend to combining the others genres with the 6 selected genres. Also, we analyzed the evolution of the 16 games genres during the last 34 years. We observed that some genres have a great success until the past decades, but they haven’t a success in this decade. Game designers and researchers in the field of games may rethink about how to add attractive elements in the genres non-successful in this decade.  Also, we observed that some genres like the indie games haven’t a great success in the past decades, but they have an important increased success in this decade. This may encourage the decision makers and the game designer to invest on these genres.

A new GPSR advancement described as Adaptive GPSR (AGPSR) is proposed with enhanced greedy forwarding and efficient routing decision. AGPSR greedy forwarding model consists of three major phases; initialization, finding target neighbor, weight value computation and next hop selection. The weight value encounters a set of network metrics including node density, network size, congestion level, transmission range, node speed and movement direction. An intensive evaluation methodology was implemented in order to evaluate the performance of proposed AGPSR in MANET. Results confirm that proposed GPSR has surpassed several MANET environmental challenges and outperformed conventional GPSR in terms of PDR, E2E delay, routing overhead, and power consumption. The delay is reduced by AGPSR of up-to 10% compared to conventional GPSR. In addition, 5% increase in PDR and more than 7% decrease in routing overhead and in power consumption was achieved by AGPSR.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-10-13 Description An account of the resource There are projected to be over 200,000 Muslim tourists will visit Japan due to expected Tokyo Olympics 2020. But the previous study showed that the level of understanding about Muslim needs such as Halal terms still low among Japanese people. There is a technique and approach such as gamification that need by the Japanese people to fulfill this requirement. Gamification which integrating game thinking and games element has been proven to help in learning new knowledge. That is why the objective of this study discusses how to develop an application of MJHG in a smartphone-based on the android system. The MJHG was design based on a well known visual novel concept that combining with multimedia elements included audio,   animation,   graphics, and image to make it more attractive and alive. All of these elements blending with the gamification elements such as quiz, rewards, badges, and feedback to make it as gamified applications. Based on all of these capabilities of MJHG, it, therefore, can help the potential users not only Japanese people but also non-muslim to increase their level of understanding and awareness toward Halal terms.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Baker, Esraa Jaffar Abu Bakar, Juliana Aida Zulkifli, Abdul Nasir Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-10-13 Description An account of the resource Many studies have begun to consider how to ensure a pleasant experience during visits to cultural heritage sites and museums. Although, when considering the populace of the visitors to these sites, the hearing impaired (HI) visitors which made up of a smaller percentage, have not been in the literature limelight as much as the normal hearing visitors. Thus, the hearing impaired tends to endure certain unpalatable experiences leading to dissatisfaction of their visits. Literature has shown that Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) can improve the experiences of visitors to the museum in terms of engagement, enjoyment and learning. This is evident in a number of articles tailored towards normal hearing visitors. However, a recent study has taken into consideration the hearing impaired visitors by identifying the engagement elements of MAR for the HI museum visitors. The identified elements include; aesthetics, interaction, interest, usability, satisfaction, motivation, curiosity, enjoyment, perceived control, self-efficacy, and focused attention. This article thus takes a step further by introducing the MAR for the HI museum visitors’ engagement (MARHIME) conceptual model. These elements are derived from a review of literature which has been done comprehensively and are validated by a panel of experts. Altogether eleven elements went through the expert review process and only six elements were validated to be used for the construction of the MARHIME model. This article also further grounds the justification of these selected six elements in relation to engagement. Future work will include the development of the MARHIME prototype which will be used to validate the model among the hearing impaired visitors at a museum.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gopalan, Valarmathie Abu Bakar, Juliana Aida Zulkifli, Abdul Nasir Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-10-13 Description An account of the resource Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) has grown exponentially over the last four decades from imagination to real physical experience, especially in education. Previously, experts have completed the concepts of effectiveness, usability, acceptance and understanding in designing MAR applications to introduce and expose technological advances. However, most of these applications are addressed extensively for classroom science learning, while science experiments receive little attention. Students have to go through difficulties in understanding the phenomena of science and consequently become dissatisfied with their grasp on basic knowledge and eventually cannot pursue higher education or career related to science. This paper presents the development of Mobile Augmented Reality for Physics (MARPEX) application for high school students. The purpose of this application is to enhance the learning motivation in science experiments through the content of modern science. It aims to provide an individual learning experience for each student in science experiments. The MARPEX app design has gone through several phases of filtering and evaluation based on the specified objectives. This application needs to maintain the factors necessary to achieve this goal. This app has been designed and developed specifically for science (physics) experiments on the topic of electromagnetism. The application encrypts several experimental instances with the addition of good visualization to understand this phenomenon and has real-life experimental experience.

Proposed Multihoming and Route Optimization for MANEMO (MROM) scheme is designed to provide Route Optimization (RO) and Multihomed in NEMO architectures. This paper proposes two novel schemes; MANEMO routing scheme and Multihoming-based scheme. These are to provide support for next generation networks. The proposed MROM scheme differs from other schemes for NEMO environment because it considers the requirements of more application flows parameters as packet lost delivery, handoff delay as well as throughput). Another difference is that not only the network infrastructure can begin the functionality of flow routing, but also an Edge Mobile Router (EMR) can do this flow for routing. Moreover, it utilizes the state of the art and presently active access network to perform the separation of each flow in mobile network. Thus, proposed MROM exhibits multihoming features and improves handoff performance by initiating flow-based fast registration process in NEMO environment. A handoff method is proposed with enhanced functionalities of the Local Mobility Anchors (LMA), Mobile Routers (MRs) and signaling messages with a view to achieve continuous connectivity through handoff in NEMO. Both analytical and simulation approaches are used. Analytical evaluation is carried out to analyze packet delivery lost and handoff delay of our proposed scheme. It was also shown that cost of signaling messages and packet delivery are contributing to total handoff cost. At the simulation part, network simulator 3 (NS 3) has been used as the tool to get performance metrics that have been considered like packet delivery ratio, handoff delay, and packet loss. Our proposed scheme (MROM) has been benchmarking to the standard NEMO BS Protocol and P-NEMO. In this paper, we discuss proposed MROM for next generation networks, providing detailed analysis with a numerical model, proposed MROM, by maximizing the handoff performance, has been justified to have better mobility support than the ordinary NEMO BS Protocol and PNEMO.

Yet, they might face fear of failure or fear of facing examiners during thevivasession.A viva session has been noted to be mysterious, unpredictable, and potentially frightening to somestudents, particularly to students whose English is their second language.Some of these students might consider themselves to have  low ability in expressing their words thus lacking in confidence to facean oral assessment.These students, however, can prepare well for a viva session by rereading their thesis, arranging for a mockviva, and practicing debating their work with a senior student. This paper attempts to present a new way of viva preparation by means of a virtual viva simulator (V2Sim). This V2Sim is based on a virtual reality approach that usesan avatar as an examiner. This study aims to design and developa V2Sim to providearepeatablecoaching for a viva session at no cost. The implementation ofthe V2Sim involved three phases: identification of research problem, design and development, and evaluation. The study aspires to examine the experience of postgraduate students using the new technique. For this purpose, a combination of interviews and an experimental method were adopted to evaluate the V2Sim coachingamong 30 PhD students. Interpretive outcomes from this study suggest that the V2Sim coachingis a novel tool for assessing learning outcomes for a viva voce session and for improving students’ skills. Based on these findings, implications for the adoption of V2Sim coachingas an assessment method are discussed, among which the improvement of the experience of viva-voce session in the future.
