The technology of Big Data got the capability to process large amounts of data, manage them effectively and make retrieval whenever it is required. Decision making in any organisation is a challenging task since decisions need to be made based on the accessibility of data and its status, this becomes more challenging especially in large…

Dengue fever (DF) is a tropical disease spread by mosquitoes of the Aedes type. Therefore, a DF outbreak needs to be predicted to minimize the spread and death caused by it. The spread of dengue fever is a spatial problem. In this paper, we adopted the Multi Linear Perceptron (MLP) to solve the spatial problem,…

Global changes caused by the IV Industrial revolution and globalization processes resulted in a redistribution of roles of participants in innovative infrastructures of countries. Universities are leading both in terms of generating R&D products and in terms of developing business activities. Now there is a problem of insufficient methodological support of technological universities for pricing…

Optimal integration of distributed generation (DG) into the distribution system results in reduced power losses and improved bus voltages. In this article, a combination of two techniques has been analyzed: The integration of DG and reconfiguration of the distribution system by removing the Normally Open Point NOP in different places of the system. These two…

The universally common mode of interaction is the human emotions. Thus, there are several advantages of automated recognition of human facial expressions. The primary objective of the proposed framework in this paper, is to classify a person’s facial expression into anger, contempt, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise. Firstly, CLAHE is performed on the image…

The aim of this paper is to identify a critical link in the man – machine – environment system in the case of an adverse event, such as a hay baling fire, based on a comprehensive risk assessment method. The rate of spread of fires in agriculture depends on meteorological conditions, with large areas affected…

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…

The performance ratio (PR) based on IEC 61724 standard is calculated under the influence of seasonal variations and the capability of the system. On the other hand, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the U.S. Department of Energy proposed the weather-corrected performance ratio (PRcorr). This PRcorr index calculates the performance of the PV system…

Wireless Body Area Networks support the operation within multiple frequency bands. Thus, they can be integrated in several applications, one of which is on-body medical monitoring applications, as concerned in this paper. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the impact of transmission power and both of Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying and…

Cybersecurity is growing exponentially day by day in both the public and private sectors. This growth also comes with a new and dynamic cyber-threats risk that causes both sectors’ performance to halt. These sectors must update their cybersecurity measures and must understand the capability and maturity of their organization’s cybersecurity preparedness. Cybersecurity maturity models are…

The paper presents a description and justification of the correctness of fuzzy recognition by a logic-predicate network. Such a network is designed to recognize complex structured objects that can be described by predicate formulas. The NP-hardness of such an object recognition requires to separate the learning process, leaving it exponentially hard, and the recognition process…

This paper documents, information about the current outbreak of Corona virus and its multidimensional effects witnessed worldwide. The objective of the study is to disseminate information to policymakers, government and the general public, to facilitate the efforts for fighting against the contagious virus and aims to contribute to the economic and social welfare. Though the…

With such a big volume of data growing tremendously every day, and the storage of important volume of data becoming increasingly more flexible, NoSQL(Not only SQL or Non-Relational ) database are designed to store a large amount of information and are growing for big data systems in web analytics. It an approach does not require…

Nowadays, Customer satisfaction is important for businesses and organizations. Manual methods exist, namely surveys and distributing questionnaires to customers. However, marketers and businesses are looking for quick ways to get effective and efficient feedback results for their potential customers. In this paper, we propose a new method for facial emotion detection to recognize customer’s satisfaction…

Estimation Solar radiation is the most significant part of the optimization of solar power. This may be achieved if the solar radiation is predicted well in advance. Meteorological stations have radiation measuring devices like pyranometer, pyrheliometer, radiometer, solarimeter, etc. however, it may not be available at the location of interest for researchers. Due to this…

Since its appearance, COVID-19 has severely impacted the healthcare sector all over the world. The healthcare organizations should be agile in order to cope with this new health crisis. Indeed, organization agility was highly recommended as an essential basis for flexibility, innovation, speed, as well competitiveness. Different research provided different conceptual models suitable to evaluate…

This paper is a case study of the integration of an energy management system (EMS) in a commercial building. A detailed analysis of this EMS’s impact on energy consumption is presented. High energy demand is very common in commercial and industrial facilities. With this in mind, the present work aims to improve the energy consumption…

A remotely mobile phone controlled electronic system for supplying water to garden plantations in a greenhouse or similar environment was designed and experimentally implemented. The system monitors the garden environmental conditions such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity and sunlight and a remote user can send commands from his mobile phone such as to switch ON/OFF…

In this paper a classification system based on a complex-valued neural network is used to evaluate the health state of joints in high voltage overhead transmission lines. The aim of this method is to prevent breakages on the joints through the frequency response measurements obtained at the initial point of the network. The specific advantage…

Trust is essential in many interdependent human relationships. Trustworthiness is measured via the effectiveness of the relationships involving human perception. The decision to trust others is often made quickly (even at zero acquaintance). Previous research has shown the significance of voice in perceived trustworthiness. However, the listeners’ characteristics were not considered. A system has yet…

The classification of static or mobile objects, from a signal or an image containing information as to their structure or their form, constitutes a constant concern of specialists in the electronic field. The remarkable progress made in past years, particularly in the development of neural networks and artificial intelligence systems, has further accentuated this trend.…
