Energy Efficiency (EE) plays a key role in decreasing energy consumption at a European level, while it is considered as one of the most cost-efficient means to achieve carbon reduction and reinforce energy sufficiency and security. EE financing is imperative to implement measures that will lead to achieving the desired carbon neutrality and, thus, avert…

Novelty detection affords to identify data patterns that stray strikingly from the normal behavior. it allows a good identification and classification of objects which were not known during the learning phase of the model. In this article, we will introduce an organized and comprehensive review of the study on novelty detection. We have grouped existing…

Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology that is used to monitor points or objects of interest in an area. Despite its many applications, this kind of network is often limited by the fact that it is difficult to provide energy to the nodes continuously, forcing the use of batteries, which restricts its operations. Network…

Identification of Kamphaeng Saen beef cattle is important of the registration and traceability purposes. For a traditional identification methods, Hot Branding, Freeze Branding, Paint Branding, and RFID Systems can be replaced by genius human. This paper proposed a Kamphaeng Saen beef cattle identification approach using muzzle print images as an Animal Biometric approach. There are…

In recent years, the applications in the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems has procured research interests among various communities. One of the primary factors being, thinking beyond the box of what could UAV system bring to the table other than military applications? Evidence to any answer for this question is the current day…

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) decentralisation brings about reductions in the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) earmarked for landfilling worse still under situations where MSW is being sent to dumpsites. It also reduces the distances MSW collection vehicles travel during MSW collection, maintenance and transport costs due to the establishment of local level decentralised…

The suitability of incorporating waste transfer stations (WTS) in likely future Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) systems for Harare city and neighbouring urban centres was assessed under this study. WTS will bring about location of landfills and other MSWM facilities further away from population centres, increasing recycling, reducing waste collection costs and burden on the…

Protecting the rights and interests of shareholders is the important research topic. This study takes ” Tatung Operation Rights Competition” as an example to execute case study. Game tools are applied to analyze which corporate supervision strategies should be used by government. The research and analysis results show that both the corporate group and the…

This study is a review of the literature on open access (OA), seeking to identify trends in research on the subject. This review was conducted in the SCOPUS database and focused on the following as the main topics: 1. Financial aspects, 2. Repositories, 3. Education, 4. Academic community’s perception of OA resources, 5. Tools, 6.…

Compared to other types of autonomous vehicles, the single-seat is the simplest when designing, since its compact design makes it an option that can simplify different mechanical aspects and enhance those of greater importance such as the steering and the braking system. Likewise, the electronic and electrical design may be a great improvement on the…

This paper describes a qualitative research design adopted in this study guided by deployment of a Grounded Theory (GT) methodology which was deployed to synthesize literature on technology adoption and digital transformation with an objective of developing theory. The philosophical worldview adopted was interpretivism/constructivist of a qualitative grounded theory inductive (theory building) approach where secondary…

The design of microelectronic systems is often complex, therefore metaheuristics can be of a great interest, because in most cases these systems have conflicting objectives and constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of multi-criteria design strategies to a CMOS current conveyor. This provides designers with the ability to develop solutions that can meet…

The literature shows a growing interest in taking into account human and organizational factors (HOFs) to achieve safe and successful human performance by reducing the risk of errors. In this sense, the concept of maturity models aims to help companies in the integration of these factors by assessing the current level of maturity and define…

The behavior of rivers’ hydrology and flow under changing climate has been an objective of interest for long time. In this study the impacts of climate change on streamflow of the Arkansas River will be investigated. The paper is an extension of work originally presented in ASET conference in Dubai. The Arkansas River is a…

A sensor fusion concept integrating the optical and microfabricated eddy-current sensor for the non-destructive testing of the grinding burn is reported. For evaluation, reference grinding burn with varying degrees are fabricated on 42CrMo4 tool steel cylinder. The complementary sensing nature of the proposed sensors for the non-destructive testing of the grinding burn is successfully achieved,…

This paper proposes a new method of implementation of the part of SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm used to extract the feature of an image of a size 256×256 of pixels, which is mainly based on the using the LEON3 soft core processor .With this method it is possible to detect points of interest and…

The use of heuristic methods in teaching is not possible without the cooperation of all or part of the students’ academic group. That is, the teacher who made the decision to apply the heuristic method de facto solves the issues of organizing project method in teaching. There are a large number of indications on the…

Nowadays, the Internet has become an indispensable tool for the realization and continuity of activity at a different time, place, and technological context (e.g., mobile, pc, tablet), so that interaction techniques through the use of multi-device support have become of great interest. From this perspective, continuity in interactions is an essential concept in the face…

E-learning, among the most prominent modes of learning, offers learners the opportunity to attend online courses. To improve the quality of online learning, social learning through social networks promotes interaction and collaboration among learners. As part of the learning process management in these environments, the implementation of recommendation systems facilitates the provision of content adapted…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

The paper treats a problem for detection and recognition objects in computer vision sector, where researchers recommended OpenCV software and development tool, it’s several and better-remembered library resource for isolating, detecting, and recognition of particular objects, what we would find an appropriate system for detecting and recognition traffic roads signs. The robustness with optimization is…

Since its release in 2013, 4.4 billion people around the world have used Kahoot!. Various topics with multiple languages have been made so that there are at least 200 billion games. A very high number for an educational application. Why Kahoot! So interesting? This study aims to analyze the gamification elements found in Kahoot! as…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…
