Logistics is a science and art that has been widely used by large commercial chains, whose main objectives focus on the distribution of products or services. This understanding has generated various logistics studies directed towards those businesses, without considering that science can also be applied to small or medium enterprises. The present study initially executes…

There have been disruptions in local and global food supply chains around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has led to rethink various aspects and to consider various trends in the food sector, encourage a more rapid transition and evolution to the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), to counteract current problems and to…

Due to pandemic spreads of COVID-19 and increasing populations of se- niors, exercises or performance practices at home have become important to maintain healthy lives around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the physical health determines the Quality of Life (QoL) of a human. Unfortunately, a lot of people have no exercise and…

The adoption of Engine-in-the-loop technology shows real behaviour. This study presents a test runs simulation platform with real engine data. In addition, a test bench model is a demand approach that offers a significant potential to provide an excellent reproducibility of test runs. The platform includes the data integration to upgrade tests run and a…

The revolution in the electrification of conventional vehicles due to increased petroleum prices and environmental concerns has had its impact on three-wheeler vehicles as well. Motorized three-wheeled vehicles, known as Auto-rickshaws, are a standard mode of trans- portation in India. Existing battery operated electric rickshaws (known as E-rickshaws) available in major cities of India faces…

A precise modelling plant system is substantial to improve the design of the DC motor controller, where a low accurate model may cause an unacceptable controller system. This study presents a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system for design a high speed motor data acquisition system (HSMDAQS) and injected collected data (ICD) Simulink model to estimate accurately the…

The effect of the moving dispersive conducting complex scatterer on the scattering of incident H-wave is investigated herein. In this research, a simulation shows how the scattered phase and magnitude of a moving (rotating and translating) circular cylinder with higher conductivity, made of dispersive material, is affected in the case of incident H-wave (TE-mode) polarization.…

Several challenges like changes in brightness, dynamic background, occlusion and inconsistency of camera position make the recognition of hand gestures difficult in any vision-based method. Diversity in finger shape, size, distribution and motion dynamics is also a big constraint. This leads to the motivation in developing a dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) flow based…

Due to high failure rates many students end up spending unnecessary years struggling to qualify and subsequently accumulate unnecessary debt. In this paper, our principal contribution is to provide an expert system that statistically predicts the success of a first year student in an undergraduate Science programme given only academic merit in their subject matter.…

This study aims to review English as a foreign language learning students’ perception of blended learning on various aspects of learning process. The study seeks to answer the question as to whether there is any correlation among students derived independent variable and their perception with respect to the merits and demerits of online blended learning.…

Objectives: Describe the clinical characteristics and home care of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in a Primary Healthcare Facility of the “Mi Peru” district, in the Callao Region, Peru. Materials and methods: Observational and descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 84 subjects with positive results for Rapid Test IgM / IgG or molecular test (RT-PCR) participated.…

Estimation of displacement is an information required for daily operation monitoring systems to monitor human health or to locate users in buildings, basements, tunnels and similar places which under the same conditions that the global positioning signal (GPS) level is from very weak to completely absent; and is the measurement technique by using multimetric data…

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 has explored the technology beliefs of university students considering four parameters. We have proposed an automatic belief identification system for academic institutions. For this, we used two different clustering algorithms to segment the student group with different beliefs about the technology. In the Hierarchical Clustering (HC), the Agglomerative approach was followed. The beliefs…

The study aims to demonstrate how the use of the design process can align a brand’s strategy with the interests of its target audience through a digital product based on a case study. Currently, Lexus internal studies show that there is a possibility to meet the needs of new audiences, beyond the traditional ones (men,…

ECG analysis is commonly used by medical practitioners and cardiologists for monitoring cardiac health. A high-performance automatic ECG classification system is a challenging area because there is difficulty in detecting and clustering various waveforms in the signal, especially in the manual analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. In this paper, an accurate (ECG) classification and monitoring…

Age and growth are two essential rice biophysics parameters used to determine the health parameters and production rate. The spatial data of both parameters can utilize remote sensing technology, which in turn makes use of several vegetation indices to achieve accurate estimation. However, due to the rapid changes in rice plants’ characteristics, it is essential…

The research will explore the challenges of using local water sources inside the city for a self-sufficient urban water supply by developed a system dynamics model. This study aims to evaluate and understand the Pesanggrahan River appropriateness as a raw drinking water source through a conceptual model that can accurately represent the interactions between the…

To cultivate creative talent, ways to learn creative problem-solving skills is needed, and one of them is programming. Arduino is a well-known tool used for programming education and the usefulness has been demonstrated in various case studies. However, there are several problems in existing Arduino-compatible kits as education tools, including the need for understanding hardware…

Water is an important vital resource, and must be protected and saved. Unfortunately, millions of liters of water are wasted annually at the national level in Peru, one of the factors is the discomfort when people take a hot shower, because first the water is cold, which is contained in the pipes of domestic connections…

Ad-Hoc networks are self-organized wireless networks. Finding a secure and efficient route leading from a specific source node to an intended destination node is one of the serious concerns in mobile Ad-Hoc networks. ARANz is one of the significant protocols that has been proposed for such networks. ARANz implements the authentication methods used with the…

Analysis and classification of lung diseases using X-ray images is a primary step in the procedure of pneumonia diagnosis, especially in a critical period as pandemic of COVID-19 that is type of pneumonia. Therefore, an automatic method with high accuracy of classification is needed to perform classification of lung diseases due to the increasing number…

In modern deregulated power industry, private sector has invested a lot to supply for extended power demand using the preexisting power system framework. This resulted into increased loading of transmission lines which has to work now to hit their thermal limits. The overloading of transmission line resulted in congestion and hence increase in loss of…

This study utilized aerial panoramic photography and 3D virtual reality to demonstrate the environmental changing issues.
