Abstract | Problem statement: GIS has several techniques and functions that can be used for health services planning. Each one of these functions can be applied for different health related issues. However, based on previous studies, there is an absence of the method for calculating the hospital service area, taking into account the spatial and social dimensions. Approach: The first part of this study reviews the relevant GIS methods that are used to calculate the hospital service area. The second part of the study focuses in developing a technique that can calculate the service area based on spatial and social dimensions. … |

Abstract |
Gait is the walking style or pattern of the human motions. This research aims to improve the accuracy of human gait recognition using the information provided by Microsoft Kinect. It benefits from a human joint positioning system by Kinect in three dimensions and proposes a new method in recognising the human gait. In this method, the angles between the body’s joints during the walking process have been used in ……… |

Abstract |
3D modelling is a tedious and time-consuming process in games and entertainment industries. Due to the availability of high performance graphics hardware today, the demand for higher detailed and realistic graphics complicates tremendously the creation of large 3D model such as a city. Several modelling techniques have been introduced to ease the productivity of 3D modelling. However, they only fit for certain models. This paper proposes to auto-synthesize logical and realistic 3D model based on simple input primitive models |

Abstract |
Face recognition has long been a goal of computer vision, but only in recent years reliable automated face recognition has become a realistic target of biometrics research. In this paper the contribution of classifier analysis to the Face Biometrics Verification performance is examined. It refers to the paradigm that in classification tasks, the use of multiple observations and their judicious fusion at the data, hence the decision fusions at different levels improve the correct decision performance. The fusion tasks reported in this work were carried through fusion of two well-known face recognizers……… |

Abstract |
The objective of this research work is aim at providing reliable information to land-use planners, it offers almost limitless opportunities for intelligent land-use allocation using Geographic Information System approach. Land-use planning is a decision making process, it is a geometrical process. Therefore, planners need appropriate and reliable geographical information to enable them make sound decisions relating to sharing of various competing land-uses. Thus, the end product of the GIS will be part of an Educational Decision Support System that provides the user with a map of Mubi North with focus on the schools locations and future sites for establishment of |

Abstract |
The phenomenal growth in the use of smartphones, GPS and Internet a is giving rise to a revolution in the business world. This revolution is focused on conducting business on the move usually by mobile commerce applications This trend is fueled by the consumer interest in being able to access business services anytime and anywhere. It is also motivated by the interest of the business community to extend their reach to customers at all times and at all places. This paper is focusing on the Uber’s mobile application which challenged the taxi business environment and also the regulations on the field. |

Abstract |
Land Suitability Analysis (LSA) is a GIS-based process applied to determine the suitability of a specific area for considered use, i. e. it reveals the suitability of an area regarding its intrinsic characteristics (suitable or unsuitable) ( Sudabe etal 2010). In Nigeria as a whole and Adamawa in specific, wheat is one of the important cereal crops but the production is very low. In particular the wheat production does not meet the demands. The aim of this study is application of geographic information system in evaluating suitable areas for wheat cultivation in Adamawa state Nigeria. FAO 1976 suitability guidelines Boolean method, and GIS technique were used in order to get suitable areas for wheat production in the study area and the result showed that 12% of the total land mass of Adamawa State is highly suitable for wheat cultivation, 19% moderately suitable, 52% marginally suitable, 8% currently not suitable and 4 % permanently not suitable. |

Abstract |
The main goal of this study is to examine how two elements of interactive service quality (interpersonal service quality and self-service technology service quality) are related to retail support. This study also goals to recognize the moderating effects of individual attributes. The results show that two elements of interactive quality are related to retail support intentions. |

Abstract | The service failures occur because the service can not be delivered well as the customer’s expectation, and it will lead customer’s complaints. That is, the customer’s complains will be happened along with the service failure. How to effectively rectify a service delivery failure via a service recovery will be an important consideration during the competitive and dynamic environment. The service recovery can be divided into mechanistic (e.g. the guidelines) and organic (e.g. favorable internal environment) service recovery. Besides, the intersection structure between the mechanistic and organic recovery will significantly exist and it will have effect on repurchase intention. And, customers’ repurchase intention will be also affected via WOM effect, especial for positive WOM (PWOM) and Negative WOM (NWOM). …. …. |
