In this paper we are demonstrating the importance of building and achieving a renewable electrical power system that works in synchronization with the grid. The average of consumption, generation and the negative environmental effect of generating power were analyzed. This paper is divided into three parts, one was analyzed with Green Building Studio software and…

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.…
