Smart city projects are quickly evolving in several countries as a feasible solution to the urban organization to provide sustainable socioeconomic growth and solve problems that arise as the populations of these cities grow. In this sense, technology application plays an important role in enabling automation of processes, improving the citizen’s quality of life and…

Small animal modeling is an exciting research field where human pathogenic frameworks can be replicated in a controlled environment. Accurate Imaging is in high demand when modeling abnormalities and, magnetic resonance imaging plays a vital role due to its demonstrated lowest intrusion when compared with other imaging methods. However, the required high-resolution yields low-quality images…

The evolution of technology has changed the face of education, especially when combined with appropriate pedagogical bases. This combination has created innovation opportunities in order to add quality to teaching through new perspectives for traditional methods applied in the classroom. In the Health field, particularly, augmented reality and interaction design techniques can assist the teacher…

In recent years pattern recognition of power quality (PQ) disturbances in smart grids has developed into crucial topic for system equipments and end-users. Undoubtedly analyzing the PQ disturbances develop and maintain smart grids effectiveness. Voltage sags are the most common events that affect power quality. These faults are also the most costly. This paper represents…

This paper studies the design of supervisory controllers with a minimum number of monitor places for Manufacturing System modeled as safe Petri Nets. The proposed approach considers a class of safety specifications known as Behavioral Constraints with a restricted syntax. The set of Behavioral Constraints are represented as predicate logic formulas in normal conjunctive form.…

The IEEE 802.16e standard, known as mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) becomes the most demanding broadband wireless access (BWA) technology recently. Its main advantage is rapid delivery of services in remote areas due to the cost efficiency factor. The base station (BS) supports data rate up to 70 Mbps, mobile stations with 5–15…

Sensors for collecting 3D spatial data from the real world are becoming more important. They are a prime research area topic and have applications in consumer markets, such as medical, entertainment, and robotics. However, a primary concern with collecting this data is the vast amount of information being generated, and thus, needing to be processed…

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are widely used applications to manage resources, communication and data exchange between different departments and modules with the purpose of managing the overall business process of the organization using one integrated software system. Due to the large scale and the complexity nature of these systems, many ERP implementation projects have…

This paper is an outcome of a case study conducted at the Universiti Teknologi Brunei in order to measure students’ perceptions of the library services offered in the university library. The main objectives were to identify the purpose of the library visit and to find out the service quality of university library, to determine whether…

In order to characterize the waste water in Duhok valley in Duhok governorate, during 25km, seven sites were selected in Duhok valley, to represent their water quality. Monthly samples were collected from the Duhok valley for the period from, April to September, 2015. The qualitative study of Duhok valley water tested, as considered one of…

This manuscript focuses on a hybrid power system combining a solar photovoltaic array and energy storage system based on hydrogen technology (fuel cell, hydrogen tank and electrolyzer) and battery. The complete architecture is connected to the national grid through power converters to increase the continuity of power. The proposed a hybrid power system is designed…

In depth study focusing to ascertain the effect of different rates of Zinc (Zn) fertilization in improving the quality and yield of Guava fruit was carried out at Gharo, Sindh – Pakistan during year 2014-15. The outcome of the research revealed that there was no significant effect on the yield as well as quality, without…
