The future of the highly competitive global banking is electronic banking via internet. This trend of electronic delivery of banking products and services is necessitated by the customers' demanding more Internet-customized daily transaction. Hence, customer affecting-satisfaction factors need to be thoroughly investigated in order to deliver efficient electronic banking. Consequently, this paper reviewed three approaches to reach the most influential customer affecting-satisfaction factors. These customer affecting-satisfaction approaches are prioritizing based on cause and effect relationships, understanding with the use of a questionnaire survey and better communicating using e-mail and social media. The pool of customer affecting-sat

Show MoreThe use of a communication network in the closed loop control systems has many advantages such as remotely controlling equipment, low cost, easy to maintenance, efficient information transmission, etc. However, the Networked Control System (NCS) has many drawbacks, such as network-induce end-to-end time delay and packet loss, which lead to significant degradation in controller performance and may result in instability. Aiming at solving performance degradation in NCS, this paper propose to take the advantages and strength of the conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Gain Scheduling (GS) fundamentals to design a Fuzzy-PID like-Gain Scheduling (F-PID-GS) control technique, which has been proved to be ef

In this article, we introduce a two-component generalization for a new generalization type of the short pulse equation was recently found by Hone and his collaborators. The coupled of nonlinear equations is analyzed from the viewpoint of Lie’s method of a continuous group of point transformations. Our results show the symmetries that the system of nonlinear equations can admit, as well as the admitting of the three-dimensional Lie algebra. Moreover, the Lie brackets for the independent vectors field are presented. Similarity reduction for the system is also discussed.
The growing relevance of printed and digitalized hand-written characters has necessitated the need for convalescent automatic recognition of characters in Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Among the handwritten characters, Arabic is one of those with special attention due to its distinctive nature, and the inherent challenges in its recognition systems. This distinctiveness of Arabic characters, with the difference in personal writing styles and proficiency, are complicating the effectiveness of its online handwritten recognition systems. This research, based on limitations and scope of previous related studies, studied the recognition of Arabic isolated characters through the identification o

A GIS is a kind of super map, computer software that links geographic information (where things are) with descriptive information (what things are like). Unlike a flat paper map, where what you see is what you get, a GIS can have many layers of information underneath its surface.
In this paper GIS is used as a tool to examine, analyze, and suggest solutions for areas where traffic collisions have occurred in
In recent years it has spread the used of e-commerce sites quite dramatically. Thus, these sites have become display huge number of diverse products. It became difficulty for the customer to choose what he/she wants from this product. The recommender systems are used to help customers to finding the desired product of their interests and proved to be an important solution to information overload problem.
This paper, designed a recommendation system based on content, which is usually textual description. Furthermore, the proposed system uses cosine similarity function to find the similarities among the characteristics of various products, and nominate a suitable product closer to customer satisfaction.

This research is related to the study of the energy gap of some glassy polymers (PC,PS and PMMA), we have studied the effect of gamma–ray and UV light radiation on the energy gap of these polymers and then the effect of dyes (anthracene) on the energy gap for these materials for exposure times (0 to 34 hr). It’s found that the energy gap of pure polymers and doped polymers measurement was changed depending on the gamma and UV dose and the mechanism of interaction between molecules of polymers and dye .It was found that the addition of anthracene to polymers leads to a reduction in the energy gap generally.

With the increments number of population nowadays, one of the most essential problems in rural areas is the number of students in each school which exceed the school capacity. Thus, it is important to increase the number of schools and to determine the suitable location of them. The aim of this study is to determine the most suitable sites for school using Geographic Information System (GIS 10.2) (ModelBildur)in Husseiniya district, Karbala province. Land classification, slope, distance from the single schools, proximity to the inflated schools, work buffer 100 meters around the main roads and railways and removing them from the map, represent the main criteria used to evaluate the location suitability and the most crowded school.
