A sensor fusion concept integrating the optical and microfabricated eddy-current sensor for the non-destructive testing of the grinding burn is reported. For evaluation, reference grinding burn with varying degrees are fabricated on 42CrMo4 tool steel cylinder. The complementary sensing nature of the proposed sensors for the non-destructive testing of the grinding burn is successfully achieved,…

A very large number of workers is occupationally exposed to Optical Radiation (OR) worldwide, while indeed nowadays an exposure to Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can occur in almost all workplaces. OR origin can be natural, including the most relevant source, i.e. the sun, or artificial, that can be further classified in incoherent and coherent, i.e. the…

Real-time embedded systems are widely adopted in applications such as automotive, avionics, and medical care. As some of these systems have to provide a guaranteed worst-case execution time to satisfy the time constraints, understanding the timing behaviour of such systems is of the utmost importance regarding the reliability and the safety of these systems. In…

European counties continue to receive an increasing number of migrants and refugees from an also increasing number of both European and non-European countries. This results in a huge societal challenge which is societal inclusion of people speaking different languages and of diverse backgrounds. Key for their inclusion is job finding which comes with hurdles like…

For systems using rotating machinery, diagnosing the faults of the rotating machinery is critical for system maintenance. Recently, a machine learning algorithm has been employed as one of the methods for diagnosing the faults of rotating machinery. This algorithm has an advantage of automatically classifying faults without an expert knowledge. However, despite a good training…

Diploma certificate and transcript forgery is a serious issue in education. The government is still finding the best way to prevent and minimize this issue in the future. The diploma certificate and transcript are very easy to duplicate, not only from third parties. Even the university can easily produce a fake diploma certification and transcript…

This paper proposes a new method of implementation of the part of SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm used to extract the feature of an image of a size 256×256 of pixels, which is mainly based on the using the LEON3 soft core processor .With this method it is possible to detect points of interest and…

The Bolivian higher education system comprises 59 universities; these institutions have the challenge of increasing their scientific production since it is one of the factors to provide quality education and meet one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But currently, the GDP assigned to the research and development (R&D) sector of Bolivia is 0.16%.…

Music is one of the most popular entertainments, and the music industry continues to increase over time. There are many types of genres in music, and everyone has their own choice of the type of music they want to listen to. The recommendation system is an important function in the application, especially when there are…

Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) network is an integration of fiber optic and wireless connections in the same network. It is one of the best solutions to overcome rapid increment of Internet users and bandwidth-hungry services. To facilitate fundamental knowledge and further understanding on FiWi for students and researchers at the university level, this article proposes the development…

Motivation significantly influences the outcome in the rehabilitation of patients. Several developments have been made to assess and increase patient motivation by addressing factors linked to motivation such as the personality of the patient, professional administering rehabilitation, and the rehabilitation environment. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the reliability of a gamified…

The use of heuristic methods in teaching is not possible without the cooperation of all or part of the students’ academic group. That is, the teacher who made the decision to apply the heuristic method de facto solves the issues of organizing project method in teaching. There are a large number of indications on the…

This article proposes a compact and simple design of electronically adjustable voltage-mode biquadratic filter using fundamental active cell implemented on a single integrated circuit (IC) package as LT1228. The proposed circuit having triple inputs and single output (TISO) employs namely one resistor and two capacitors as the passive components. All the five possible biquadratic filtering…

The article presents some results of the research of the LoRa module. These modules can be the basis of possible IoT technologies are implementing, providing enough good range of receiving and transmitting messages. The SX1276 transceiver has been testing to determine the signal loss in the propagation channel. These experiments took in a highly-populated Kyiv…

This article copes with the formal verification of properties of the missions building module of PILOT’s software. PILOT is a language dedicated to remote control of robots. An incremental syntax-oriented editor was built in order to increase the dependability of PILOT’s missions and we showed that, under a maximum size of plan, this editor allows…

This paper presents the method of simulating the personal knowledge management (PKM) processes, based on Get-Understand-Share-Connect (GUSC) Model, using real event logs data from an online learning platform. The method used in here is process discovery and conformance, which are the process mining techniques. Having the model proven at granular level of multi-agent system, this…

The objective of this article is to determine if the self-perception of professional competences has been affected, in systems engineering students, during the health emergency declared in Peru by Covid-19; The results will allow the public university of Peru to make corrective decisions and formulate proposals to improve the functioning of the variable under study.…

Online fashion market is constantly growing, and an algorithm capable of identifying garments can help companies in the clothing sales sector to understand the profile of potential buyers and focus on sales targeting specific niches, as well as developing campaigns based on the taste of customers and improve user experience. Artificial Intelligence approaches able to…

Hearing impairments have a negative impact in the lives of individuals living with them and those around such individuals. Different applications and technological tools have been developed to help reduce this negative impact. Most mobile applications that have been developed that use Speech-to-Text technology have been inconsistent such that they are not inclusive of all…

The article investigated the banking determinants of loans’ growth using the quarterly data of Albanian banking sector during 2003-2018. We estimated the linear model of control variables to examine the bank’s sound effects on loan’s capacity. Empirical results demonstrated the initial positive outcome of the growth of non – performing loans on the loans’ growth,…

In the modern marketing system in a mass consumer society, the central place is given to the formation and promotion of brands. Professional conceptual approaches to brand management are able to preserve and increase the value and stability of the brand and allow the brand to survive in the most difficult competitive and crisis market…

Disruptive innovation has created fast changes in the business environment and competition among companies, especially on information technology companies. Knowledge creation and entrepreneurial orientation are two variables that can improve firm performance. There is still limited study on how knowledge creation and entrepreneurial orientation both affects firm performance. This study aims to discuss how to…

This paper proposes an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) design for a haptic display platform structure. The motivation for the following scheme originates from the shortcomings faced by classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers in control theory. The ADRC is an unconventional model-independent approach, acknowledged as an effective controller in the existence of total plant…

The current concept of open innovation corresponds to the R&D products transfer model – “role changes”. One of the fundamental provisions of the model is that R&D products are considered for commercialization not only at the final stage of technological readiness, but at any of them. In today’s changing market environment, special attention is paid…
