In this paper, the dual band low noise amplifier is designed in 0.18-μm CMOS technology. By combining the proposed switchable load inductor for gain controlling and the conventional inductive source degeneration topology, narrow band gain and good impedance matching are achieved at 2.3/3.3-GHz frequency bands. The new mathematical analysis of low noise amplifier design is derived to define the component parameters of the proposed circuits. The proposed low noise amplifier exhibits gain of 17.18 dB and 15.5 dB, and noise figure of 2.67 dB and 2.52 dB at the two frequency bands, respectively.

Molybdenum dichalcogenides have been reviewed from the perspectives of bandgap, conductivity, and oxidation states of transition metal. Researchers have concluded that a narrow-bandgap transition metal dichalcogenide with high conductivity could be achieved for the high-performance electrode of a supercapacitor.

The blended carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) doped with various compositions of ammonium bromide (NH4Br)-based solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBEs) were prepared by using the casting method. In this present work, CMC/PVA–NH4Br SBE thin film was used to investigate the electrical conductivity via electrical impedance spectroscopy. The maximum conductivity obtained was 3.21 X 10 S cm for sample AB20 at ambient temperature (303 K), and this result might be due to the increased number of charge carrier. A dielectric study was conducted to understand the conductivity behavior. The electrical properties have been measured as a function of frequency of ɛr, ɛi, Mr, and Mi, indicating a non-Debye type behavior.

Embedded system testing involves testing an integration of software and hardware. It is increasingly difficult to evaluate the functionality of each module within a short time because of the increasing number of tests required. In this paper, a novel stepwise methodology involving the use of an automated compilation test system (ACTS) is proposed, to improve the quality of testing and optimize the testing time using automation. Using the proposed method, the testing coverage can be maximized, while minimizing the manual work and testing time required. This ACTS was used to automate the test code compilation and execution for different hardware modules. The proposed method significantly saved the testing time by approximately 56.42%, compared to the existing method, while ensuring quality testing performance.

There has been a rapid growing of m-commerce application in recent years due to the development of mobile communication technology and e-commerce business. However, only about 30% of online users, who conduct online searching, make online purchases. The low conversion rate seems to be correlated with poor usability aspect of most mcommerce applications and poor satisfaction reported by users. Research has reported that satisfaction and continuance intention in using m-commerce applications have relationships with service quality and information quality. In this study, a new model of user satisfaction and continuance intention in the context of mobile application was proposed by incorporating usability aspect. The study involved 230 respondents. To develop a new reliable and valid model, this study used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) that include two stage evaluation, namely measurement model evaluation and structural model evaluation. Results demonstrated 34 valid and reliable indicators which can be used to measure service quality, information quality, usability, user satisfaction and continuance intention in M-commerce application. There were positive and significant relationships among service quality, information quality, usability, user satisfaction, and continuance intention. This study provide evidence on the importance of usability aspect in Mcommerce application for user satisfaction and continuance intention.

Space-based earth observation technology applicable to forest inventory and monitoring is well known in the scientific community. High-resolution satellite images form an important data source for forest mapping and change detection at regional and national scales. The value of forest change information derived from remote sensing data is significantly enhanced if this information is integrated into a spatially explicit geographic information system. Satellite-based rapid assessment was conducted to measure spatiotemporal changes in Batudulang forest over the years. The general approach to quantify change in the spatial aspect of the forest involved change detection using moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index. A further top–down approach using high-resolution data from Google Earth was used to complement the mapping and specifically identify areas of spatial, temporal, and thematic change on a grid basis (1×1 sq. km.). Results from change detection studies revealed that the forest area changed from 287 sq. km. in 2008 to 189 sq. km. in 2016. Visual image interpretation of high-resolution Google Earth images (2001–2013) analyzed 63 grids, of which 30 showed significant change and 33 exhibited no change.

Power generation is an industry that is essential to sustain daily life and competes with generator set distributors. The product service system of distributors must be improved to survive the competition. This research aims to develop tools for benchmarking the product service system of generator set distributors. Benchmarking identifies gaps between a product and other competitors’ products. In this work, a product service system board is used to visualize the current product service system of a generator set distributor. A PPIAF framework and a SERVQUAL framework are adapted to assess product performance and service quality, respectively. AHP is used as weighting method. The survey results provide ideas for improving the current product service system of generator set distributors. Further studies must use detailed measure weighting methods and implement the product service system board to assess service quality.
