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…

Senior projects allow students to move the learning process from basic knowledge to an interdisciplinary approach. The purpose of this research is (1) to analysis attitude and perception, which is a collaboration between teachers and students to develop a model for clustering of appropriate advisors and advisee who cooperate in senior project, and (2) to…

Bus Rapid Transit in Purwokerto-Purbalingga is a new mass transportation mode. Recently, the execution of the BRT has been going on for three years. In terms of service standards to ridership, the BRT has been fulfilled the requirement. However, during the execution, it shall be supported by the non-ridership (local communities) who get the impact…

The non-selective second language course at vocational colleges and universities makes teachers strive at fostering students’ motivation to learn by choosing from a variety of enhancing factors. Teacher’s personality and skills if they comply with pedagogical ethics are considered to be inspiring for students to learn. The aim of this piloting study was to collect…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) include a large number of sensor nodes that are connected to each other with the limitations in energy sources, battery life, memory, mobility and computational capacity. Since the traditional layered architecture was appropriate only for the wired network. It works within a strict boundary that leads to more energy usage as…

At present, in the era of digitization the organizations need Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to have the ability adapt to changes with rapid response in order to increase the competitive advantage. The fact, many companies have failed to implement ERP which is proven to be not go live on time, so that the implementation…

This paper focuses on exploring efficient ways to find H2 optimal Structure-Preserving Model Order Reduction (SPMOR) of the second-order systems via interpolatory projection-based method Iterative Rational Krylov Algorithm (IRKA). To get the reduced models of the second- order systems, the classical IRKA deals with the equivalent first-order converted forms and estimates the first-order reduced models.…

Topic classification is a crucial task where knowledge categories exist within hierarchical information systems designed to facilitate knowledge search and discovery. An application of topic classification is article (e.g., journal/conference paper) classification which is very useful for online submission systems. In fact, numerous online journals/magazine submission systems usually receive thousands of article submissions or even…

The effects of Covid-19 severely affected the Thai higher education model. Therefore, there are three significant objectives in this research: (1) to cluster the mindsets and attitudes toward self-regulated learning styles of undergraduate students at the University of Phayao. (2) to construct a predictive model for recommending an appropriate student learning clusters. (3) to evaluate…

Insect robots are always amazed by humans due to their ability to fly using a wing flapping mechanism. The butterfly robot was designed in this research based on aerodynamics and aeroelastic especially for designing a flapping mechanism due to its complexity. A butterfly wing structure was designed by considering aerodynamics forces based on assumptions. Aerodynamic…

The article touches upon an urgent question of social-interactive learning. The resource under study deals with one of the possible ways to solve this problem, in the context of global socio-cultural transformations and a new paradigm for the development of society. It is the formation of a subject-subject dialogue between a teacher and a student.…

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…

Road traffic accidents are primarily caused by drivers error. Safer roads infrastructure and facilities like traffic signs and signals are built to aid drivers on the road. But several factors affect the awareness of drivers to traffic signs including visual complexity, environmental condition, and poor drivers education. This led to the development of different ADAs…

In their verbal interactions, humans are often afforded with language barriers and communication problems and disabilities. This problem is even more serious in the fields of education and health care for children with special needs. The use of robotic agents, notably humanoids integrated within human groups, is a very important option to face these limitations.…

During service, oil and gas pipelines may be exposed to cyclical loads during service, which may lead to a structural failure. Failure is due in most cases to cracks in the structure. Mechanics of the propagation of surface cracks pose a serious challenge and, therefore, models are required to help analyze it. In this study,…

Internet of Things provides a virtual view of real-life things by guiding challenges faced by persons in daily life. It is reforming our world with trillions of sensors and other IoT enabled devices by creating a smart environment. Effective use of IoT sensors in various smart IoT applications is very important. After analyzing different sensor…

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…

The new model of the short-term exchange rate dynamics was constructed. First of all, the most interesting were the reasons of the deviation from the medium-term equilibrium. The author’s IFEER-concept (International Flows Equilibrium Exchange Rate) was used as a base and it was developed. In this study, due to the short-term modeling period the differential…

Together with the intensity of development in the field of technology of unmanned platforms and their effective use for solving various tasks of peacetime and war, the requirements for the training of the operator managing the platform also increase. This fully applies to personnel providing the flight of manned means. Nevertheless, there are significant differences…

With the aim of preventing hydro-geological risks and overcoming the problems of current rain gauges, this paper proposes a low-complexity and cost-effective video rain gauge. In particular, in this paper the authors propose a new approach to rainfall classification based on image processing and video matching process employing convolutional neural networks (CNN). The system consists…

Soil moisture is a fundamental factor for smart farming that is used to control the water management system. In this paper, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) small cell (UAV-SC) can provide Internet of things (IoT) as the hotspot mobility network, due to the minimum limitation energy of connected IoT. The development of ground sensor (GS)…

Communication is a bilateral process and being understood by the person you are talking to is a must. Without the ability to talk nor hear, a person would endure such handicap. Given that hearing and speech are missing, many have ventured to open new communication methods for them through sign language. This bilateral communication device…

The advent of electric vehicles has changed the face of the automobile industry. The drive system properties of vehicles such as eBikes or electric cars differ fundamentally from those of a diesel engine. The lack of a conventional internal combustion engine has made the vehicles considerably silent. Nevertheless, previously hidden sources of vibration and noise…
