The purpose of this paper is to explore the feasibility and development trend of utilizing smart medical technology for chronic disease health management in older people in the context of ageing at home. As the ageing society intensifies, the elderly population faces multiple health challenges, especially the management of chronic diseases. This paper analyzes the…

With the spread of inverters, the attention of designers naturally turned to 5-phase motors, due to their advantageous properties. In this regard, perhaps the most important issue in the design of such machines is the selection of the correct rotor slot number. Many articles have been published on multiphase machines, however, only few of them…

Insufficient information is often pointed out as one of the main problems with bug reports as most bugs are reported manually, they lack detailed information describing steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior, leading to increased time and effort for developers to reproduce and fix bugs. Current bug reporting systems lack support for self-hosted systems that…

While Virtual reality is becoming more popular, 360-degree video transmission over the Internet is challenging due to the video bandwidth. Viewport Adaptive Streaming (VAS) was proposed to reduce the network capacity demand of 360-degree video by transmitting lower quality video for the parts of the video that are not in the current viewport. Understanding how…

The cybercriminal utilized the skills and freely available tools to breach the networks of internet-connected devices by exploiting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Network anomaly detection is crucial for ensuring the security of information resources. Detecting abnormal network behavior poses challenges because of the extensive data, imbalanced attack class nature, and the abundance of features in…

We present an inverted pendulum design using readily available V-slot rail components and 3D printing to construct custom parts. To enable the examination of different pendulum characteristics, we constructed three pendulum poles of different lengths. We implemented a brake mechanism to modify sliding friction resistance and built a paddle that can be attached to the…

In this paper, we have developed a gas injection-type prefabricated lifting device based on location tracking to efficiently lift the human body in the event of an accident that occurs underwater on the sea or land. The efficiency of the lifting system is very important to ensure the golden time of the rescue and the…

A robot development has spread widely for various purposes. It is difficult to create a control program for an autonomous mobile robot manually. Therefore, an automatic design of the control program for an autonomous mobile robot is proposed in this research. The autonomous mobile robot is created with LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, and the control program…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for both civil and military applications. Unmanned aerial vehicles can be categorized into two categories: rotary-wing and fixed-wing. Due to its capacity to fly long distances and carry substantial payloads, fixed-wing UAVs are gaining popularity and are currently utilized for various tasks. However, when confronted with disturbances…

In this article, we propose a new tutoring strategy to combat school dropout in Morocco. This strategy is based on a collaborative approach involving educational administration and teachers at the national level to ensure equity and equal opportunities for all Moroccan students, on the one hand, and the quality of the training, on the other.…

This article explains the fundamental principles of the economic policy that are integrated into the decentralized public platform Waterfall. The platform has a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) based system architecture and is designed to develop decentralized applications and financial services. The main goal of this work is to create a favorable environment that incentivizes positive…

This work investigated the coupling behavior of the scattered-bend loss in displacement sensor during the bending of the fiber by using a multimode polymer optical fiber (POF). To utilize the scattered-bend effect for displacement measurement, a side coupling technique can be used by twisting a pair of POF fibers and bent the structure into a…

Massive integration of inverter dominated renewable energy systems (RESs), i.e., wind turbines (WTs), reduces the reliance on conventional alternator-based power stations. The system inertia and damping aspects of the power system were significantly decreased by this extensive integration of inverter-based WT system, which impacts on the fault ride-through (FRT) competence and thus precipitates the frequency…

This study aims to develop and validate a biological food preference task that simultaneously evaluates biological responses to visual stimuli of various food states and subjective evaluations of foods and to examine how these biological responses are related to food preference behavior. We recruited seventeen healthy male and female subjects to observe changes in cerebral…

Before succumbing to the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have sustained a ubiquitous presence in human lives and society. ICTs have changed the standards and dynamics of educational practices (EPs). Many academic institutions had already integrated technological-based pedagogical instructions into their educational practices but, in various cases, faced challenges of failing to…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the evolving paradigm of interconnectedness of objects with varied architectures and resources to provide ubiquitous and desired services.
