The blockchain's immutability has allowed previously centralized operations to operate in a new way. The possibility of applications having a new architecture is given thanks to the innovative properties of the technology, which brought alternative control designs for distributed systems and allowed applications to work without the need for a central controlling point. The expansion of blockchain to other areas beyond cryptocurrencies has shown the need for applications to implement solutions to deal with corrective operations. Blockchain 3.0 applications bring new solutions for business needs. However,  as opposed to immutability, the revoking functionality is much more complex to be implemented in this type of architecture, but paramount to applications resilience, allowing faulty or invalid information to be revoked, ensuring thus that the blockchain can still be trusted. This work assesses and discusses revocation mechanisms to contribute to the technical feasibility of several applications, which require corrective operations. We present a model in the academic area, which can be replicated for other types of systems in other areas.

The great development witnessed by our current age has led to the emergence of many diverse modern technologies, one of these advanced technologies is Hologram technology and Augmented reality technology, These two technologies are somewhat similar to somewhat, as it can be said that they perform almost the same purpose, and at the same time, Hologram technology differs from augmented reality in several aspects, as the way in which the three-dimensional images are created and the properties of that images itself. This paper aims to compare and study the similarities and differences between Hologram technology and Augmented reality technology. It is a standard comparison as the comparison takes place according to a number of different aspects of both technologies. Comparing the characteristics of the two technologies showed that there is no one of them excels over the other, but according to different systems and situations, it is maybe better and more appropriate to use one of them than using the other one.

Limited energy capacity, physical distance between two nodes and the stochastic link quality are the major parameters in the selection of routing path in the internet of things network. To alleviate the problem of stochastic link quality as channel gain reinforcement based Q-learning energy balanced routing is presented in this paper. Using above mentioned parameter an optimization problem has been formulated termed as reward or utility of network. Further, formulated optimization problem converted into Markov decision problem (MDP) and their state, value, action and reward function are described. Finally, a QRL algorithm is presented and their time complexity is analyses. To show the effectiveness of proposed QRL algorithm extensive simulation is performed in terms of convergence property, energy consumption, residual energy and reward with respect to state-of-art-algorithms.

This paper sought to examine the impact of perceived Social Media Marketing Activities (SMMAs) on customer purchase intention via brand awareness in an online context. An online questionnaire was used to collect data from 188 samples. The data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach, and the research hypotheses were examined using SEM. The study measured SMMAs through personalization, customer community, and live video. The results revealed that SMMAs were insignificant towards brand awareness and purchase intention. The result also stated that brand awareness does not mediate the relationship between SMMA and purchase intention. However, brand awareness was found to affect purchase intention positively. The current study introduces the stimulus–organism–response model as a theoretical support to examine SMMAs of e-commerce to customers' purchase intention via brand awareness.

The evolution of today's application technologies requires a certain level of robustness, reliability and ease of integration. We choose the Fields Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware description language to implement the facial recognition algorithm based on "Eigen faces" using Principal Component Analysis. In this paper, we first present an overview of the PCA used for facial recognition, then use a VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) simulation and design platform, which is the ISE. We describe the operation of each block and implement, thereafter, the computation of the global centered images. This corresponds to the first step of the PCA algorithm to assess its performance. The comparison of the results of this implementation with that of MATLAB confirmed the operability and effectiveness of this method for centralizing images. We also implemented the last part of this algorithm which is the computation of the Manhattan distance. The tests have given very satisfactory results.

Cardiovascular-Diseases (CVD) are a principal cause of death worldwide. According to the World-Health-Organization (WHO), cardiovascular illnesses kill 20 million people annually. Predictions of heart-disease can save lives or take them, depending on how precise they are. The virus has rendered conventional methods of disease anticipation ineffective. Therefore, a unified system for accurate illness prediction is required. The study of disease diagnosis and identification has reached new heights thanks to artificial intelligence. With the right kind of training and testing, deep learning has quickly become one of the most cutting-edge, reliable, and sustaining technologies in the field of medicine. Using the University of California Irvine (UCI) machine-learning (ML) heart disease dataset, we propose a Convolutional-Neural-Network (CNN) for early disease prediction. There are 14 primary characteristics of the dataset that are being analyzed here. Accuracy and confusion matrix are utilized to verify several encouraging outcomes. Irrelevant features in the dataset are eliminated utilizing Isolation Forest, and the data is also standardized to enhance accuracy. Accuracy of 98% was achieved by employing a deep learning technique.

Sentiment analysis is the process of analyzing a person’s perception or belief about a particular subject matter. However, finding correct opinion or interest from multi-facet sentiment data is a tedious task. In this paper, a method to improve the sentiment accuracy by utilizing the concept of categorized dictionary for sentiment classification and analysis is proposed.  A categorized dictionary is developed for the sentiment classification and further calculation of sentiment accuracy. The concept of categorized dictionary involves the creation of dictionaries for different categories making the comparisons specific. The categorized dictionary includes words defining the positive and negative sentiments related to the particular category. It is used by the mapper reducer algorithm for the classification of sentiments. The data is collected from social networking site and is pre-processed. Since the amount of data is enormous therefore a reliable open-source framework Hadoop is used for the implementation. Hadoop hosts various software utilities to inspect and process any type of big data. The comparative analysis presented in this paper proves the worthiness of the proposed method.

Information Management and Analysis (IMA) implies the single data and knowledge base of the business organization whose algorithm and software complex is designed to solve functional problems of operating and dispatch management, marketing, financial arrangements, accounting, strategic planning and organizing e-document flow between the sources and users of information. The “information – communication - control” vector is directed at the achievement of corporate objectives. Assessment of IMA implementation efficiency is complicated by the fact that implementation of managerial (informational) solutions is possible indirectly, with the flows of material, financial and informational resources; the IMA algorithms are valid for a certain range of situations and modes, whose frequency and duration of action are not known in advance. The study is aimed at formalizing compatibility conditions for a set of economic and technical, actual, and probabilistic indicators applied for justifying the IMA implementation efficiency for industrial entrepreneurship. The IMA effectiveness is expected to be calculated as a total of network (communication) effects per each block of IMA algorithms, factored the presentation of information operability; to calculate cost-effectiveness (recoupment of investment) it is supposed to modernize the structural capital evaluation procedure according to A.Puliс. The article contains an introduction, concept of IMA, application of system efficiency theory to IMA, building the structure of IMA efficiency indicators, and conclusion. The main method of study: system approach.
