Currently, there is a growing interest for applying gamification in e-learning due to innovations in technologies and pedagogies. However, motivation and engagement related problems can arise when the gamification elements are not personalized to match the individual’s needs. Therefore, this research proposes a Hybrid Learning Model that combines both Gamification and Personality Traits to increase…

The digital factory is a concept signing a new era for industry, the so-called Industry 4.0, in which ordinary production systems like manufacturing plants, machineries and utilities are being equipped with diagnostic and sensitive instrumentation to be connected to digital shared networks. This data-sharing, trough the big data management techniques, is a fully integrated base…

In the present article, we introduce a foveation-based optimized embedded and its optimized version image coders thereafter called VOEFIC/MOEFIC and its related foveation wavelet visible difference predictor FWVDP coding quality metric. It advances a visually advanced foveal weighting mask that regulates the wavelet-based image spectrum before its encoding by the SPIHT encoder. It intends to…

Electrostatic suspension systems have great potential applications in contactless transportation objects since they allow many different materials to be suspended. The electrostatic suspension will be widely applied in practice if the system cost is inexpensive. This paper presents an electrostatic suspension system controlled by using pulse width modulation (PWM). The use of PWM in electrostatic…

This study aims to be able to help farmers to solve the watering problems that are manually carried out into watering done automatically and controlled, besides that this research also obtained data about the level of moisture content…

Concept of university higher education quality is linked to the relevance of an educational project that promotes institutional transformation to improve the comprehensive training of new professionals. In this context, the research objective is to determine the graduates satisfaction level, trained with curricula 1979, 1985 and 1995 who have more than 20 years of graduation…

In many countries and regions in the world, earthquakes are one of the most common natural disasters, which affect both human life and property. To avoid negative effects of earthquake, the nonlinear response of structures under dynamic loading should be accurately modeled to investigate their actual behavior under earthquake loading to ensure safe and sound…

Medical images are transmitted via the Internet or the hospital intranet which include many important information about the patient’s personal information. Medical image encryption is a technology that can effectively protect the information contained in these medical images. In this paper, we give a secure and trusty Combined Cellular Automata (CoCA) based medical image encryption…

In this paper, a regenerative energy recovery system for electric vehicles charging a battery at a low speed is proposed. When a permanent magnet synchronous motor driving the electric vehicles is driven by a generator, the generated voltage is controlled to rise or drop by using the L-C resonance circuit. As the circuit only has…

In this scientific work, the basic synergetic principles of the development of the paradigm of civilizations are substantiated, an assessment of the time boundaries within which civilizations exist, the features of their own path of development of Uzbek culture are revealed. It is especially drawn attention to the sociocultural codes of civilization, a combination of…

This paper focuses on the issue of distributed reinforcement learning (RL) for decision-making in cooperative multi-agent systems. Although this problem has been a topic of interest to many researchers, results obtained from these works aren’t sufficient and several difficulties have not yet been resolved, such as, the curse of dimensionality and the multi-agent coordination problem.…

As an emergent technology in Internet of Things (IoT), the ultimate target of fog computing is to provide a widely distributed computational resources and data repository closer to the network edge providing heterogeneous systems both in terms of software and hardware. The fog system must have the capability to deal with huge number of resources…

Microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) are comfortable and have better anticipation compared to traditional antennas. Not only the weight of this type of antennas is lighter but also, they have little capacity, minimum price, reduced in measurement as well as affluence of fiction then observance. Recently, it has been many times reevaluated for the improvement of…

The character education program conducted through extracurricular areas of the Scout. The method used in this study is the Research and Development (R&D). The research objectives are scouts elementary and junior high school. This research resulted in 3 Prototype Free Model implementation of character education through extracurricular scouting programs in the form of three models…

The increase in employment and productivity is crucial for the economic growth of the European Union. Specifically, the employment of young people needs to be increased. The excessively theoretical approach to education is identified as one of the most significant problems in the educational system. Acquirement of practical experience while study, presents for the students…

An experiment to determine the performance of a thermoelectric powered by solar panel for a large cooler box was carried out. The size of the cooler box tested was 1000 mm x 500 mm x 400 mm and inside the cooler box, a plastic bottle containing 19 liters of water was placed. The thermoelectric hot…

Metamaterial antennas are some sort of antennas which utilize metamaterials to improve the efficiency of small (small electrical) antenna systems and also enhance the antenna’s radiation pattern. The unusual properties of metamaterials such as coefficients of permittivity and permeability, as well as the negative refractive index, have led to increase the use of these artificial…

This review paper discusses recent research outcomes of fabricating three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous structures in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit (IC) technologies to enable smart future chips. The CMOS-based 3D heterogeneous structures demonstrated are vertical magnetic-cored inductors for radio-frequency (RF) ICs, through-back-end-of-line (BEOL) metal wall structures for global flying noise isolation, above-IC nano crossbar array electrostatic…

This paper shows a method applied during the reconstruction of an existing middle size Italian hospital. In fact, during this delicate phase, the project had a significant decrease in storage space and access gates for goods, medicines and medical devices. This aspect has a negative impact on road traffic. There was no consensus among the…
