To evaluate and compare methods in computer vision, scientists must use a benchmark dataset and unified sets of measurements. The UCI-EGO dataset is a standard benchmark dataset for evaluating Hand Pose Estimation (HPE) on depth images. To build robotic arms that perform complex operations such as human hands, the poses of the human hand need…

Today, Drowning is the 3rd major cause for unintentional injury death accounting for 7% of deaths of all injury deaths. Drowning is a state of suffocation when water or other fluids accumulate the lungs, resulting in respiratory impairment, ultimately leading to death. The predominant problem during rescue operations of such accidental drowning is to locate…

IoT integrates and connects intelligent devices or objects with varied architectures and resources. The number of IoT devices is growing exponentially. Due to the massive wave of IoT objects, their diversity and heterogeneity among their architectures, the existing communication protocols for wireless networks become ineffective in the context of IoT. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has…

Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) is a solution for investors in determining the best energy-saving strategy for buildings. But on the other hand, investors need a fast and reliable evaluation results in measuring how effective the savings methods they use without wasting money. To address this issue, we selected Facebook’s latest predictive time series method…

The need to update the news at this time is very important. Journalists have responsibilities as their job. Apart from conveying the correct news to the public, they must also deliver it quickly. Journalists who are tasked as news seekers must always be updated about the latest news that is viral, therefore a journalist must…

Leachate generated from landfill Indonesia is typical has high salinity and organic matters during the dry season, potentially contaminating water and the environment. An increase in salinity might deteriorate the activity of the microorganisms on the decomposition process. This research aims to study the feasibility of the ozonation technique for treating stabilized leachate. The parameters…

Lime mortar, an age-long building material is primarily popular for its flexibility, the basis of its ability to accommodate masonry deformation, hence durability. However, lime’s characteristic delayed setting/hardening time, low mechanical strength and poor internal cohesion often characterised by volumetric changes have put its use into decline. These shortcomings have therefore relegated relevance of this…

The world has turned in the modern era to reduce peak times for electricity consumption, where the peak times cause excessive load on the electricity grid and power stations. In Egypt air conditioning loads are considered the main contributing reasons for the peak time’s problem due to presence of large unshaded glazed surfaces, which cause…

In an intelligent transportation system (ITS), time is a big challenge since processing a huge amount of data in a short time is very difficult, especially when the processed data is heterogeneous, consisting of a mixture of emergency data, normal data, and noise. In an ITS, an ambulance is one of the priority vehicles, and…

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…

Social skills are the behaviors that the individual adopts on a regular basis at specific moments in everyday life. Resilience is the way in which the individual faces the adversity that life imposes on them, as well as manages to overcome it. In adolescence, problems are perceived because important changes are generated in an accelerated…

Advances in the world of communications and information technology, as well as the urgent necessity to monitor particular areas and regions, have led to a considerable and influential development in the world of wireless sensor nodes. As they are small, low-cost multi-purpose nodes with limited energy and capabilities. The most important points that deserve research…

The objects are flat, aluminum type and randomly stacked in a box. Firstly, 2D color image processing is performed to label the object, then using 3D pose…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…

The Internet of Things (IoT) application has been experiencing increasingly progressive demand, especially for embedded devices (ED). However, the ED has limited capabilities, low power consumption resources, and low bandwidth in connecting to the Internet by using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the WSNs form creates a necessity for new technologies and protocols for the…

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year destabilised the operations in the education sector, particularly in institutions of higher learning. Most of these institutions are now expected to teach online, assess their students using non-venue examinations and offer remote laboratory practical and experiments. However, many of these institutions were not prepared for such…

The filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) technique is being considered as the major candidates for the 5G schemes. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is used in 4G but it has drawbacks such as higher Out-of-Band (OOB) power reduction, and higher peak to average power ratio (PAPR). OFDM uses cyclic prefix (CP) extension to overcome…
