Varietal purity and proportions of grains with brown spots, fissured grains, chalky grains andwhole grains in a rice sample are important grain quality attributes influencing consumers'preference and price but little information exist on how these grain quality attributes are affectedby biophysical factors and pre-harvest practices. Several authors have studied in isolation theeffect of biophys...

Data Integration presents a core issue in the Palestinian e-Government Technical Framework. The currently used data integration model relies on the Integrated Central Database which lacks quality attributes such as: interoperability and flexibility. We purpose a SOA-based approach for data integration that achieves the above attributes. We present and analyze the current architecture and implem...

This paper proposes a Fuzzy Group Analytical Hierarchy Process approach for assessing the quality of software, with judgments by a group of experts at different levels. The international standard of software quality attributes, ISO/IEC9126-1:2001 which comprises of 6 criteria with 27 subcriteria, is applied as the attributes of software quality. Regarding the prioritization method, the modified...

Machine learning and data mining retort heavily on a large amount of data to build learning models and make predictions. There is a need for quality of data, thus the quality of data is ultimately important. Many of the industrial and research databases are plagued by the problem of missing values. A variety of methods have been developed with great success on dealing with missing values in dat...

Blockchain is a public digital and distributed database solution providing decentralized management of transaction data. Since the introduction of Bitcoin cryptocurrency, which was the rst implementation of the Blockchain technology in 2008, the interest in Blockchain technology has been constantly increasing. Blockchain is not applicable only in nancial transaction systems but it is transformi...

Ensuring the security of sensitive data is an increasingly important challenge for information systems managers. A widely used technique to protect sensitive data is to mask the data by adding zero mean noise. Noise addition affects the quality of data available for legitimate statistical use. This article develops a framework that may be used to analyze the implications of additive noise data ...

Program design is just an aspect of software development life cycle. Design is seen as the foundation for coding, debugging and testing, maintenance activities, and it also portrays how the final product will meet the requirement. In this paper, I formulated a data encryption problem and its algorithm, and I represented the algorithm using Flowchart, Data Flow Diagram (DFD), Trees, Structure Ch...
