A high efficiency InAs/GaAs quantum wire solar cell is modelled embedding periodic array of InAs quantum wires (QW) in the intrinsic layer. The promising low dimensional heterostructure such as Quantum Wells, Quantum Wires, Quantum Dots or Dashed (elongated Dots) based intermediate-band-gap solar cells are recently being grasped the attention for ongoing third generation solar cell…

This project aims to demonstrate the importance that digital media can have to the development of loyalty programs, namely in creating empathy and proximity relationships between brands and their target audience: young people. This study consisted of the creation of a digital platform for Toyota Portugal, named Spot Toyota, to communicate actions promoted by the…

To reduce the risk of accidental system shutdowns, we propose to control system developers (supervisor, SCADA) a prediction tool to determine the occurrence date of an imminent failure event. The existing approaches report the rate of occurrence of a future failure event (stochastic method), but do not provide an estimation date of its occurrence. The…

Competitive sport has one phenomenal or fundamental aspect of selecting players into playing squad for a game that can influence a Club or a team in almost all major aspects. Various Characteristics or behavioral aspects of players will be instrumental towards the selection of a specific player into a team depending on the nature, level,…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2019 Third World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems Security and Sustainability (WorldS4). Author describes two new methods: reactive protection method (without delay after detecting an attack), which consists in virtualizing the execution environment of supercomputers processes if the calculated state descriptor falls into the…

Among the most popular tools in security field is the anomaly based Intrusion Detection System (IDS), it detects intrusions by learning to classify the normal activities of the network. Thus if any abnormal activity or behaviour is recognized it raises an alarm to inform the users of a given network. Nevertheless, IDS is generally susceptible…

The emerging trend of modern industry automation requires intelligence to be embedded into mobile robot for ensuring optimal or near-optimal solutions to execute certain task. This yield to a lot of improvement and suggestions in many areas related to mobile robot such as path planning. The purpose of this paper is to review the mobile…

Analytical researches on a potential performance of multipath multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems inspire the development of new technologies that decompose a MIMO channel into independent sub-channels on the condition of constrained transmit power. Moreover, in current studies of inter-symbol interference (ISI) MIMO systems, there is an assumption that channel state information (CSI) at receivers and/or…

Vegetable oils are often proved to be promising for industrial lubrication applications among which soybean oil found to be better due to its attractive and desirable thermo physical properties for machining compared to other vegetable oils. However, already it was established that influenced desirable thermophysical properties necessary for a vegetable oil through which better machining…

Modern microcontrollers are capable to realize not only traditional PID-regulators but also adaptive ones. Object of control parameters estimation is the biggest part of adaptive control from the point of view of time consumption. The ways to reduce this time for digital control systems based on ARM-CORTEX 32-bit and 64-bit processors are shown in the…

It is difficult to accurately segment brain MRI in the complex structures of brain tumors, blurred borders, and external variables such as noise. Much research in developing as well as developed countries show that the number of individuals suffering tumor of the brain has died as a result of the inaccurate diagnosis. The proposed article,…

The need to optimally explore Nigeria’s diverse mineral resource endowments via sustainable value chain practices has, in recent times, been the focus of the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders.
