The performance of Simultaneous Clustering and Model Selection Matrix Affinity (SCAMSMA) and Deep Divergence-Based Clustering (DDC) in clustering wireless mul- tipaths generated by COST 2100 channel model (C2CM) is compared. Enhancing the accuracy of clustering multipaths is an open area of research which the clustering ap- proaches try to improve. Jaccard index is used as…

The paper addresses speeding up meetings in a networked environment during rescue works in a transport emergency. Several groups of representatives of various services and observers participate in those meetings. The number of wrong decisions tends to increase because remote participants cannot understand each other quickly. First, the meetings must be efficiently held to avoid…

This paper describes methods of eliminating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) non-destructively, using Electronic Warfare Methods. The aim is to introduce certain methods of UAV detection and elimination in a complex environment and terrain, e.g., in an urban and battlefield environment, that will result in finding the control device position and the UAV itself. Neural networks,…

Technologies are growing with the passage of time and providing solutions for the existing problems. One of such problems is to manage the crowd according to available capacity. Especially when the crowd density is dynamic because of dynamic position of the persons (Pilgrims). Not only dynamic position of the pilgrims makes crowd capacity dynamic but…

Family functionality is when the family meets the needs of its members, especially adolescents. Resilience is the adolescent’s ability to face situations in which there are difficulties, life problems and thus be able to overcome them. The purpose of the study is to determine the Level of Resilience and Family Functionality in Adolescents of two…

Digital twins act through application programming interfaces to their physical counterparts to monitor, model, and control them. Beyond these traditional functions of digital twins, they must also act to secure their physical counterparts. A multi-model scheme is presented to help digital twins towards the task of securing the physical system. Additionally, this work includes an…

Comparing to other types of vehicle accidents, fatality rate of tipped rollover accidents shows significant number. Thus, tripped rollover prevention systems are important in order to keep driver safe. In other hands, different rollover indices are defined to handle the risk. The variable unknown parameters of each index, for instance, current load of the vehicle…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

This paper presents a research about the modelling of surface roughness in the grinding process. Based on the analyzed results about the surface roughness models from the previous studies, this study was performed to develop a surface roughness model in the grinding process. The surface roughness model is proposed with two hypotheses about the shape…

In this paper, performances of two variations of chaos based algorithms are compared. First algorithm is a self-adaptive color image encryption algorithm is proposed based on Radial Hilbert Transform and chaos. This technique uses chaotic random phase masks operated on the transformed pixels to increase the randomness in confusion and diffusion operations. Also, a random…

This article is part of the field of Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), where several criteria must be considered in decision making. All criteria are generally as varied as possible and express different dimensions, and aspects of the decision problem posed. For more than four decades, several MCDA methods have emerged and have been applied perfectly…

This paper addresses essential features/issues and proposes solutions that would improve the overall performance of a multi-phase buck converter. Low efficiency at light load is addressed with phase shedding, load fast transient and regulated output voltage spiking/dipping is addressed with novel helper technique at the point of load (output node). An Integrated current sensing is…

A real-time embedded system requires plenty of measurements to fallow the Nyquist criteria. The hardware built for such a large number of measurements, is facing the challenges like storage and transmission rate. Practically it is very much complex to build such costly hardware. Compressive Sensing (CS) will be a future alternate technique for the Nyquist…

Social skills and resilience are very important aspects for mental health; therefore, it is necessary to take into account the positive contribution in the development of adolescents, they are in a vulnerable stage, adapting to physical, mental, emotional, etc. changes. Adolescents, not knowing how to handle the difficulties that may arise, if they do not…

We describe the control design strategy used to control a soft robotic artificial muscle composed of silicone rubber using hand gesture signals. This artificial muscle is actuated with pneumatics, and therefore, the control strategy employed is through the regulation of air pressure within the inner chambers. Using the hand gestures of bringing the hands apart…

The family can be referred to as a basic nucleus of society, where it must be fully formed as a group and guarantee the safety and development of its members. Increasing social inequality affects society and also the families that comprise it. It is a study with a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, descriptive and…

Nowadays, heart diseases cause the maximum death in the world. Also, due to the noticeable increase of heart diseases, studying this field is one of the important matters in medical community. Therefore, this study tries to benefit using information in data base of cardiac arrhythmia and employ arterial intelligent and neural network, in order to…

This work presents an innovative solution for parking-sharing of private institutions based on daily occupancy patterns and using different real time tracking methods of vacant parking slots. The research objective consists in finding the most accurate cars detection method, for determining of vacant parking slots and updating them on application web page. Beside the technical…

This paper is an extension of Novel Flexible Chip-less Bow-Tie RFID tag in which we presented the design, testing and fabrication of the tag and compared the results with Octagonal Chipless RFID tag. The chipless RFID tag was designed by using simulation software CST microwave studio and fabricated by using laser etching technique on a…

This paper proposes a closed association rule generation technique to investigate the association patterns of diseases that are frequent co-occurrence. Diseases records of 5,000 patients are studied to find the association patterns of disease co-occurrence. The CHARM algorithm is adapted to find frequent diseases that can cover all-important patterns with a small number. Then the…

This study primarily aims to identify the factors that helped emo kids in 2010 move through the emo-identity discrimination and be able to obtain a certain level of achievement. Facebook is the social network that allows users to track friends’ posts back over 10 years. Content analysis was conducted by using two coders to rate…

Increased recycling of PVC has become a requirement in industrial and scientific research level. Several studies will be realized. To confirm and check the recycled materials performance, it will be important to go through numerical modeling, which consists not only in validating the results of the experiments, but also in predicting what happens when the…

A rarefied gas flow is modeled inside two cases of triangular lid-driven microcavity using single (SRT) and multi-relaxation time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann approaches. In the first one, the right angle is in the top-left corner and the upper wall moves with positive horizontal velocity. However, in the second case, the right angle is in the…
