Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are still more challenging to overcome even if they have been widely studied during the last decades. The routing mechanism is the essentially relevant issue in this field. Indeed, it must strictly to be adapted to specific and unique characteristics such as the high mobility of the vehicles, the dynamic nature…

In general, the imbalanced dataset is a problem often found in health applications. In medical data classification, we often face the imbalanced number of data samples where at least one of the classes constitutes only a very small minority of the data. In the same time, it represent a difficult problem in most of machine…

The processes of reflection of three-dimensional electromagnetic waves by locally irregular media interfaces are investigated. The problem under study is mathematically reduced to the solution of a boundary value problem for the Maxwell equations in an infinite space with an irregular boundary. In order to develop a numerical algorithm, the potential theory and a special…

The article deals with the problem of increasing the accuracy of determination of aircraft’s navigation flight parameters. Increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of navigation parameters determination will improve the efficiency of air conveyance by optimizing the flight trajectories and reducing the flight time and simultaneously will ensure the sufficient level of air conveyance safety. The…

In this study, a control system of a feedback device of temperature sensation for myoelectric prosthetic hand users was improved. The device is mounted on a user’s upper arm in contact with the skin, and transfers the temperature sensation in the upper arm corresponding to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor at the fingertip…

This paper presents a Release Management model to support requirements management. Requirements development and management can be integrated with a release-planning approach to achieve lesser Requirements spillover problems which is an innovative way to capture, control and evolve the user requirements based on integer linear programming.

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

Purpose: To conduct preliminary research for developing a program to enhance resilience, a topic that has generated attention of late. Methods: We compared the Structured Association Technique (SAT) resilience program and an exercise program. The citizen’s lecture on stress management occurred 1 month after East Japan Earthquake, and the intervention was carried out in the afternoon of…

The Olympics will be held in Tokyo in 2020, and the training of the athlete using technology has been gaining attention. In an effort to refine the competitive ability of top athletes by evaluating their performance objectively, we have focused on eye movement and head movement. Since the field of view moves according to the…

Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is a high effective learning algorithm for the single hidden layer feed forward neural networks. Compared with the existing neural network learning algorithm it solves the slow training speed and over-fitting problems. It has been used in different fields and applications such as biomedical engineering, computer vision, remote sensing, chemical process…

Precision agriculture in recent times had assumed a different dimension in order to improve on the poor standard of agriculture. Similarly, the upsurge in technological advancement, most especially in the aspect of machine learning and artificial intelligence, is a promising trend towards a positive solution to this problem. Therefore, this research work presents a decision…

Visual analysis of human behavior is a broad field within computer vision.  In this field of work, we are interested in dynamic methods in the analysis of crowd behavior which consist in detecting the abnormal entities in a group in a dense scene. These scenes are characterized by the presence of a great number of…

Mortar is used all over the world for construction purpose. It consists of cement paste and fine aggregates and admixtures if required are also incorporated to modify some of its properties. In this study coconut fibers and human hair were used as an additive materials in the mortar and its effects on compressive strength of…

In order to characterize the waste water in Duhok valley in Duhok governorate, during 25km, seven sites were selected in Duhok valley, to represent their water quality. Monthly samples were collected from the Duhok valley for the period from, April to September, 2015. The qualitative study of Duhok valley water tested, as considered one of…

This manuscript focuses on a hybrid power system combining a solar photovoltaic array and energy storage system based on hydrogen technology (fuel cell, hydrogen tank and electrolyzer) and battery. The complete architecture is connected to the national grid through power converters to increase the continuity of power. The proposed a hybrid power system is designed…
