The adoption of technical decisions in the development of a new aircraft is carried out under the condition of insufficient information on the mass – dimensional and aerodynamic characteristics that will be achieved during the project. Insufficient information on the input parameters (weight and aerodynamic characteristics) leads to uncertainties in the values of the flying…

The ability to think and the social abilities of junior high school students is a potential ability developed through learning based on the optimization of differences in learning abilities. For this reason, appropriate learning design and implementation model is needed in realizing this, especially in one of the social group subjects. This study uses research…

Face recognition technology becoming pervasive in the fields of computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition. However, face recognition accuracy rates will decrease if training is done on disguised images with covered objects on a face area. This paper aims to propose a state-of-the-art face recognition methodology which could be applied in Internet of Things…

In this paper we are demonstrating the importance of building and achieving a renewable electrical power system that works in synchronization with the grid. The average of consumption, generation and the negative environmental effect of generating power were analyzed. This paper is divided into three parts, one was analyzed with Green Building Studio software and…

In this paper we propose the application of supervised learning techniques to recognize stress situations in drivers by analyzing their Skin Potential Response (SPR) and the Electrocardiogram (ECG). A sensing device is used to acquire the SPR from both hands of the drivers, and the ECG from their chest. We also consider a motion artifact…

In this paper we study a cell division cycle modeled by a system of partial differential equations with an age structure. This model translates the many regulatory mechanisms within the cell cycle where it introduces the notion of phases. The individual cell can be either in I phases where the transition between theses phases are…

Knowledge-based approach is wield used in various NLP applications. For example, to evaluate the semantic similarity between words, the semantic evidence in lexical ontologies (wordnets) is commonly used. The success of the English WordNet (EnWN) in this domain has inspired the creation of several wordnets in different languages, including the Arabic WordNet (ArWN). The English…

Logistics is a science and art that has been widely used by large commercial chains, whose main objectives focus on the distribution of products or services. This understanding has generated various logistics studies directed towards those businesses, without considering that science can also be applied to small or medium enterprises. The present study initially executes…

The large and ever-increasing variety of remote sensing sensors used in satellite imagery today explains why detecting changes between identical locations in images that are captured, at two separate times, from heterogeneous capturing systems is a major and challenging recent research problem in the field of satellite imaging for fast and accurate determination of temporal…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in IPFA 2019. In the original work, a new memory bit-counting method in physical failure analysis (PFA) using laser deprocessing technique (LDT) is introduced. In the present paper, LDT will be further exploited and the methodology applied to PFA will be fully discussed. Compared to the…

Lately, the use of mobile learning has increased in higher education at a global level. Especially after the new Coronavirus (Covid-19). Therefore, trust issues towards the benefits of mobile learning are still important matters just as important as quality dimensions (e.g. service quality, information quality and system quality) for both technology and its content. These…

The present work is undertaken as part of research studies aiming to provide sociotechnical systems with a decision-making tool that supports them in assessing the resilience of their processes. The ultimate objective is to fix the identified imperfections in order to steadily gain strength and effectiveness to cope with new and existing threats and challenges.…

This paper showcases our previous and continuously improving development at Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) and partners in designing and further enhancing the existing Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (LPLS) and Improved Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (ILPLS) to the new Smart Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (Smart LPLS) with non-invasive jaundice monitoring for newborns with Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ).…

There have been disruptions in local and global food supply chains around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has led to rethink various aspects and to consider various trends in the food sector, encourage a more rapid transition and evolution to the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), to counteract current problems and to…

Due to pandemic spreads of COVID-19 and increasing populations of se- niors, exercises or performance practices at home have become important to maintain healthy lives around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the physical health determines the Quality of Life (QoL) of a human. Unfortunately, a lot of people have no exercise and…

This paper presents a research about the modelling of surface roughness in the grinding process. Based on the analyzed results about the surface roughness models from the previous studies, this study was performed to develop a surface roughness model in the grinding process. The surface roughness model is proposed with two hypotheses about the shape…

The revolution in the electrification of conventional vehicles due to increased petroleum prices and environmental concerns has had its impact on three-wheeler vehicles as well. Motorized three-wheeled vehicles, known as Auto-rickshaws, are a standard mode of trans- portation in India. Existing battery operated electric rickshaws (known as E-rickshaws) available in major cities of India faces…

The proactive caching has been an emerging approach to cost-effectively boost the network capacity and reduce access latency. While the performance of which extremely relies on the content prediction. Therefore, in this paper, a proactive cache policy is proposed in a distributed manner considering the prediction of the content popularity and user location to minimise…

Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping known as V-SLAM, is an essential task for autonomous vehicles. It can be carried out using several sensors, in particular with on board cameras. To locate a vehicle, SLAM algorithms are based on two main tasks. The first task (front-end kernel) is intended to process images in order to provide…

A precise modelling plant system is substantial to improve the design of the DC motor controller, where a low accurate model may cause an unacceptable controller system. This study presents a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system for design a high speed motor data acquisition system (HSMDAQS) and injected collected data (ICD) Simulink model to estimate accurately the…

After studying the aviation problems in Iraq, on one hand, and because Iraq has various weather characteristics due to its different terrains (i.e. mountains, plain fields, and deserts). We discussed these problems with pilots and aviation specialists, and came to the conclusion that the main offset faced is vision deficiency is foggy and dusty weather.…

Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…

In this paper, performances of two variations of chaos based algorithms are compared. First algorithm is a self-adaptive color image encryption algorithm is proposed based on Radial Hilbert Transform and chaos. This technique uses chaotic random phase masks operated on the transformed pixels to increase the randomness in confusion and diffusion operations. Also, a random…
