For many years, the most popular technique for Internet video streaming is hypertext transfer protocol-based adaptive streaming, known as HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming). However, a seamless viewing experience can not be just simply guaranteed by HAS only. In the management network, the adaptation of HAS copes with a huge challenge since client- driven schemes lead…

Blockchain is a solution to improve data integrity and minimize data manipulation. Blockchain technology can be used in student examination management in universities. The process of managing student examination produces some information that can be stored in a blockchain database such as information about the lecturer as the exam creator, exam proctor, student attendance, student…

Dynamic positioning, a system to maintain vessel position and heading, is a technology that is used in many vessels and being intensively used as research topic in marine engineering. In order to make this system work properly, an accurate parameters value is needed. This research focuses on finding several parameters needed in this control system,…

Technologies are growing with the passage of time and providing solutions for the existing problems. One of such problems is to manage the crowd according to available capacity. Especially when the crowd density is dynamic because of dynamic position of the persons (Pilgrims). Not only dynamic position of the pilgrims makes crowd capacity dynamic but…

Family functionality is when the family meets the needs of its members, especially adolescents. Resilience is the adolescent’s ability to face situations in which there are difficulties, life problems and thus be able to overcome them. The purpose of the study is to determine the Level of Resilience and Family Functionality in Adolescents of two…

The ever-growing technology in mobile smartphones has enabled users to store sensitive and private information; as a result, it required the need for an improved security system. Previous approaches heavily relied on shallow machine learning algorithms that require feature extraction which is time consuming, laborious and can cause, resulting in poor authentication. In this paper,…

From amateur players who enjoy sports throughout their lives to top athletes who participate in international competitions, interest in improving sports skills is growing. Coaches and their coaching are indispensable for improving sports skills, but it is difficult for many athletes, especially amateur athletes, to secure coaching. However, we thought that anyone could easily receive…

The family can be referred to as a basic nucleus of society, where it must be fully formed as a group and guarantee the safety and development of its members. Increasing social inequality affects society and also the families that comprise it. It is a study with a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, descriptive and…

This paper extends the gamification interactive typing for Primary School Visually Impaired in Indonesia with some development according to previous user’s feedback. This study focuses in to renew the application and evaluate the updated application for visually impaired children developed by utility Unity software. Besides, standards of good gamification are worthy of study and can…

Dynamic modeling has been a crucial study in many areas of the engineering field. In this paper, we apply the Newton-Euler equation of motion to a two-DOF parallel mechanism solar tracker which is a close loop mechanism. The aim of this study is to show a simulation of the dynamical model with feedback control using…

This study utilized aerial panoramic photography and 3D virtual reality to demonstrate the environmental changing issues. Environmental problems have occurred in the surroundings for a long time, but the public has gradually become numb. The wide view through aerial photography helps to show the difference. The proposed self-assembled drone equipped with an antishock bracket containing…

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 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…

The article considers the task of developing a fuzzy-logical PID-type controller for a nonlinear dynamic system. A feature of the structure is presented, which consists in simplifying its controller by decomposition. In the simplest version, three fuzzy controllers are used with one input and one output and separate rule bases. Parameters of fuzzy controllers are…

We investigate in this paper many problems related to the decision-making process in the Cognitive Radio (CR), where a Secondary User (SU) tries to maximize its opportunities by finding the most vacant channel. Recently, Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problems attracted the attention to help a single SU, in the context of CR, makes an optimal decision…

The times have made drastic changes in the field of technology, these changes have penetrated into various aspects, one of which is the game. Starting from the tactics of war in the real world that produces the game theory, then adopted in the form of games that exist today. Starting from without visuals to extraordinary…

The dynamic modelling of an airship is the primary requirement in designing and developing a control system for a particular application.

There is a huge amount of literature on the aerodynamic modelling of airships which presents experimental as well as analytical…

Visualization plays a crucial role in the exploratory analysis of Big Data. The direct visualization of Big Data is a challenging task and difficult to analyze. Dimensionality Reduction techniques extract the features in the context of visualization. Due to the unsupervised and non-parametric nature, most of the dimensionality reduction techniques are not evaluated quantitatively and…

4-DOF car motion simulator helps to simulate real-life experiences that drivers do not have the opportunity to access the real environment. The dynamics equation of 4-DOF car motion simulator is a very complex problem with many uncertain parameters, so it requires intelligent control algorithms. Sliding mode controller (SMC) can achieve good tracking performance and robustness…
