Previous study of butterfly life-cycle algorithms (BLCA) has been done to construct a novel algorithm by impersonating the life-cycle of a real butterfly. The algorithm was tested in measuring the company’s growth performance using a balanced scorecard (BSC) strategic planning model. This paper is proposed to continue the previous study by expanding the concept in…

The pre-reason of the Smolensk catastrophe was a dense fog. The pilots took three trials to find the proper way to airfield. Each case the tower communicated: you are on the curse and path. Pilots, however, resigned. In third critical trial the co-pilot prolonged the response second ring to 8 seconds and the engines could…

This paper deals with a multi closed-loop adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) design for the under-actuated quadrotor systems. First, the training data set for the fuzzy inference system is obtained using a proportional integral derivative controller. Then, an initial ANFIS controller is designed, where the integral control action is preserved in the multi-closed-cloop ANFIS for…

Age and growth are two essential rice biophysics parameters used to determine the health parameters and production rate. The spatial data of both parameters can utilize remote sensing technology, which in turn makes use of several vegetation indices to achieve accurate estimation. However, due to the rapid changes in rice plants’ characteristics, it is essential…

A distribution company in Mexico covers the travel expenses for 21 sales representatives. Currently, the routes they follow are not established clearly, which can lead to high costs in this subject. A reduction of such cost is sought after, by optimizing the routes for each one of them. The following research finds an improvement on…

Big data analysis has important applications in many areas such as sensor networks and connected healthcare. High volume and velocity of big data bring many challenges to data analysis. One possible solution is to summarize the data and provides a manageable data structure to hold a scalable summarization of data for efficient and effective analysis.…

The widespread presence of Coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing organizations and individuals major economics downsizing. The way this virus is transmitted from one individual to another is the real cause of the problem. For that, researchers in different fields started seriously looking for touch-less and contact-less exchange. Particularly in the finance world, cash transactions and keypad…

In this article, we concentrate on the use of a metaheuristic technique based on an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) for determining the optimal geometrical parameters of spiral inductors for RF circuits. For this purpose, we have opted for an optimization procedure through an enhanced Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. The proposed tool allows the design of optimized…

The ability to verify the critical risk factors related to an effective diagnosis is very crucial for improving accuracy on coronary heart disease prediction. The objective of this research is to find the best predictive model for coronary heart disease diagnosis. Three approaches are set up to achieve the goals (1) investigating the classifier algorithms…

Crowdwork is a system that brings job providers and crowdworkers in a portal. Nowadays, many companies are turning to freelancing rather than hiring full-time employees. In addition, the workers have also switched to working as freelancers. New problems also arise in the crowdwork system. Trust is one of the main issues that arise in the…

In this paper we design a large scale reconfigurable digital bio-inspired computing model. We consider the reconfigurable and event driven parameters in the developed field-programmable neuromorphic computing system. The various Intellectual Property (IP) cores are developed for the modules such as Block RAM, Differential Clock, Floating Point, and First In First Out (FIFO) for the…

This paper provides an overview of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data with respect on NATO standards and recommendations; further presents methods, tools, and experiences in ISR data processing in military operations. The steps of the Intelligence cycle and disciplines Business Intelligence (BI), Data Warehousing, Data Mining, and Big Data are presented in the introduction.…

A data analytic approach presented in this work covers both data descriptive and predictive modeling with two main objectives: (1) discovering factors related to longevity of populations in the two most populated nations, China and India, and (2) generating life expectancy predictive models for both countries. Descriptive modeling methods to explore major environmental and economic…

To cultivate creative talent, ways to learn creative problem-solving skills is needed, and one of them is programming. Arduino is a well-known tool used for programming education and the usefulness has been demonstrated in various case studies. However, there are several problems in existing Arduino-compatible kits as education tools, including the need for understanding hardware…

Water is an important vital resource, and must be protected and saved. Unfortunately, millions of liters of water are wasted annually at the national level in Peru, one of the factors is the discomfort when people take a hot shower, because first the water is cold, which is contained in the pipes of domestic connections…

Over the last decades, numerous distributed consensus-based algorithms have found a wide application as a complementary mechanism for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we provide an analysis of the generalized Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for data aggregation with a fully-distributed stopping criterion. The goal of the implemented stopping criterion is to effectively bound…

The water heating with parabolic trough solar collectors (PTC) is a very widespread and at the same time quite promising solar technology. However, PTC presents several problems in terms of the profitability of water heating. For this reason, our study of water heating with PTC collectors consists of two main parts. In the first part,…
