Recommender Systems (RS) play a crucial role in our lives. As users become continuously connected to the internet, they are less tolerant of obsolete recommendations made by an RS. Online RS has to address three requirements: continuous training and recommendation, handling concept drifts, and the ability to scale. Streaming RS proposed in the literature address the first two requirements only. That is because they run the training process on a single machine. To tackle the third challenge, we propose a Splitting and Replication mechanism for distributed streaming RS. Our mechanism is inspired

Digital images have emerged as the most popular means for sharing information in articles, newspapers, and even courtrooms. However, the widespread use of advanced digital imaging tools has made it easier to forge images. One such technique is image splicing, where multiple source images are merged into a single destination image to conceal or alter its content. Image splicing is an effective forgery technique, as it is difficult to detect by the naked eye. Detection of image splicing is a pattern recognition problem, based on finding image features that are sensitive to splicing. In this

The market needs a deeper and more comprehensive grasp of its insight, where the analytics world and methodologies such as 'Sentiment Analysis' come in. These methods can assist people especially 'business owners' in gaining live insights into their businesses and determining wheatear customers are satisfied or not. This paper plans to provide indicators by gathering real world Amazon reviews from Egyptian customers. By applying both Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers 'Bert' and 'Text Blob' sentiment analysis methods. The processes shall determine the overall satisfaction

This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for gender detection using hand palm images, leveraging image processing techniques and PySpark for scalable and efficient processing. The approach encompasses a meticulous image preprocessing pipeline, incorporating essential stages like grayscale conversion, the application ofthe Difference of Gaussians (DoG) filter, and adaptive histogram equalization. This approach not only refmes image features but also ensures scalability, accommodating large datasets seamlessly. After preprocessing of hand images, the VGG19 model is employed as a powerful

The amount and variety of raw data generated in the agriculture sector from numerous sources, including soil sensors and local weather stations, are proliferating. However, these raw data in themselves are meaningless and isolated and, therefore, may offer little value to the farmer. Data usefulness is determined by its context and meaning and by how it is interoperable with data from other sources. Semantic web technology can provide context and meaning to data and its aggregation by providing standard data interchange formats and description languages. In this paper, we introduce the design

Database security has grown to a necessary level of importance today, characterized by the escalating demand for data storage. The surge in data storage requirements, propelled by technological advancements, has led to increased attacks targeting database security vulnerabilities. While multiple storage and protection methods have emerged in tandem with evolving technologies, the discovery of security vulnerabilities has led to new attack vectors. This study aims to repair this gap by securing and fortifying the security of stored data within databases. Fundamental to information security, the

The automotive industry currently is seeking to increase remote connectivity to a vehicle, which creates a high demand to implement a secure way of connecting vehicles, as well as verifying and storing their data in a trusted way. Furthermore, much information must be leaked in order to correctly diagnose the vehicle and determine when or how to remotely update it. In this context, we propose a Blockchain-based, fully automated remote vehicle diagnosis system. The proposed system provides a secure and trusted way of storing and verifying vehicle data and analyzing their performance in

The growth of mobile application development industry made it crucial for researchers to study the industry practices of choosing mobile applications programming languages, systems, and tools. With the increased attention of cross-platform mobile applications development from both researchers and industry, this paper aims at answering the question of whether most of the industries are using cross-platform development or native development. The paper collects feedback about industry’s most used mobile development systems. In addition, it provides a map of the different technologies used by

This paper proposes the utilization of posts from social media to extract and analyze customer opinions and sentiments towards any specified topic in Egypt. Summarized statistics and sentiment values are then displayed to the consumer (companies such as Vodafone, WE etc.) through both an attractive and functional user interface. Text, location, and time of thous and s of posts are scrapped, stored, preprocessed, then managed through topic modelling to infer all the hidden themes and delivered to a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to output whether the topic was positive or negative. Topic

Non-synonymous Single - Nucleotide Variants (nsSNVs) and mutations can create a diversity of the contrary influence of proteins like varying genotype and phenotype of any protein which affects its stability. The alterations in the protein stability may cause diseases. Detecting of nsSNVs and mutations can be a helpful tool in diagnosing diseases at an early stage. The study of singular and consensus tools for predicting pathogenic effects is very essential. Many studies utilized various predicting servers based on distinct Machine Learning Techniques (MLTs). In this research, we conduct a
