Music Emotion Recognition (MER) is a study to recognize emotion in a music or song. MER is still challenging in the music world since recognizing emotion in music is affected by several features; audio is one of them. This paper uses a deep learning approach for MER, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Convolutional Recurrent…

Waste is currently a serious problem often found in rural areas, rural areas, and even industrial areas. Waste is a side effect of activities carried out by humans to meet social or industrial needs. Increasing human productivity will also increase the amount of waste produced. To overcome this, a sorting management system is needed. Good…

The article substantiates the relevance of conducting research on the structural characteristics of a company’s employee knowledge, which is the result of his mental activity and his practical experience. The conditions under which information becomes a source of employee knowledge are determined. An abstract analysis of the process of transforming knowledge into an intellectual product…

Forecasting food prices play an important role in livestock and agriculture to maximize profits and minimizing risks. An accurate food price prediction model can help the government which leads to optimization of resource allocation.

This paper addresses the quality of private healthcare services in the western region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and provides a comprehensive analysis of the customer requirement to improve the quality of these services. The study begins by reviewing literature on the subject of quality in general and then in terms of the…

Induction motors (IM) are used widely in high energy applications where high torque is required such as ships/ aircrafts manufacturing industry. Those motor drivers are populated in many advantages especially their wide control strategies. However, new technology is invented for enhancing efficiency and smoothing the torque curve by increasing number of phases in the motor…

This article aims at comparing two controls to follow the maximum power point, making use of DC-DC converters for PV uses. All transformers operate continuously. To fulfil maximum power, we will exploit two MPPT controls: a traditional perturb – observe ‘P&O’ and a smart one – the fuzzy logic ‘FL’. The goal of this article…

Internet of Things provides the support for devices, people and things to collaborate in collecting, analyzing and sharing sensitive information from one device onto the other through the internet. The internet of things is thriving largely due to access, connectivity, artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches that it supports. The stability and enhanced speed of…

In grid connected wind turbine (WT) systems, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach has a crucial role in optimizing the wind energy efficiency. To search for the maximum power value of the wind turbine, this contribution proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking System (MPPT) for wind turbine related to a permanent magnet synchronous…

The Anopheles gambiae’s CYP6Z3 protein belongs to the Cytochrome P450 family and functions in oxidation-reduction processes, many studies including our previous work on elucidating insecticide resistance genes of the Anopheles also implicated her in pyrethroid insecticide resistance. Model prediction, functional analysis, and enrichment of the target gene with triplex binding sites may become a useful…

A significant problem of routing protocols in the Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET) is a significant overhead cost due to the high mobility of networking nodes. The problem is caused by a need to send information messages about locations of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In order to reduce the amount of service information, the following…

In this article supervised classification methods for the analysis of local Panamanian rice crops using Near-Infrared (NIR) spectral signatures are assessed. Neural network ( Multilayer Perceptron-MLP) and Tree based (Decision Trees-DT and Random Forest-RF) algorithms are used as regression and supervised classification of the spectral signatures by rice varieties, against other crops and by plant…

The article suggests four circuit topologies for the practical simulation of grounded and floating lossy inductors. All the suggested circuits use commercially available integrated circuit LT1228 chips as active elements, and only two passive elements, namely one resistor and one capacitor. The first two of the proposed circuits employ only a single LT1228 active element…
