The study introduces an objective instrument paired with a system to automate the grade classification of Abaca fiber using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this study, 140 sample images of abaca fibers were used, which…

In recent years, cyber security has been received interest from several research communities with respect to Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Cyber security is “a fast-growing field demanding a great deal of attention because of remarkable progresses in social networks, cloud and web technologies, online banking, mobile environment, smart grid, etc.” An IDS is a software…

All trucks heading into the paper mill MONDI, Slovakia, have to pass an automatic security check. It controls if storage of its wood load meets all standards of safety. Each truck is scanned by a group of 2D scanners. After that the inspection of timber load is done by a software with use of the…

Unreinforced masonry (URM) wall is one of the oldest types of walls used around the world. During earthquakes, URM walls present a real danger to life safety due to their behavior characterized by a brittle failure caused by their feeble shear resistance to in-plane loads, which make their strengthening necessary. Numerous studies had been used…

It was analyzed certain information about cyberattacks in Latin America and methods to counteract the aggressions that affect services, data and infrastructure. The problem is the cyberattack on information networks where there is interdependence between processes, people and devices within public organizations with the negative consequence of denial of services. The objective is to propose…

Productivity is increasing when less input was used in getting the same outcomes. Thus, the effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input. As in derivative rubber industry which is producing the seal product for final assembly of Disc Drive. The function of…

Photovoltaic systems and monitoring go hand in hand. There is no better way to check the health of your photovoltaic system than to utilize a remote monitoring system. Monitoring and tracking of photovoltaic systems are crucial for reliable functioning and optimal yield of any solar electric system. This paper aims to introduce a remote electronic…

Problem statement: In general, the water hyacinth is a biennial aquatic plant for many seasons with propagated quickly to become serious weeds in general water sources. The water hyacinth is caused carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a greenhouse effect, which leads to climate change, the environmental concerns of the world today. The agricultural residue…

The IEEE802.11n based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have been extensively deployed due to the flexible coverage, the easy installation, and the lower cost. To reduce the energy consumption while increasing the performance, the elastic WLAN system has been studied, such that it can dynamically change the network configuration according to traffic demands. As well,…

In this paper, we present a new Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE) scheme using computation over complex numbers. We then use Bootstrapping technique to make the scheme Fully Homomorphic (FH) and supports unbounded number of circuit depth. In addition to its homomorphic properties and security level, a main characteristic of the proposed new scheme is its…

An experimental transmission between two XBee modules using Radio over Fiber technique is demonstrated. Data issued from an XBee module coded on a wireless microwave carrier at 2.44GHz is transmitted through an optical link of 25.24 km. The optical transmission is based on an external modulation scheme over a dispersive channel. Frequency response of the…

The article proposes a Digital Predistortion (DPD) methodology that substantially meliorates the linearity of limited range Mobile Front Haul links for the extant Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and future (5G) networks.
