This paper has explored the technology beliefs of university students considering four parameters. We have proposed an automatic belief identification system for academic institutions. For this, we used two different clustering algorithms to segment the student group with different beliefs about the technology. In the Hierarchical Clustering (HC), the Agglomerative approach was followed. The beliefs…

To properly simulate and implement a quadcopter flight control for intended load and flight conditions, the quadcopter model must have parameters on various relationships including propeller thrust-torque, thrust-PWM, and thrust–angular speed to a certain level of accuracy. Thrust-torque modeling requires an expensive reaction torque measurement sensor. In the absence of sophisticated equipment, the study comes…

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…

Information on alternative technologies or new prototypes was analyzed to help improve the quality of business management services. The problem is the lack of application of new technologies that improve the quality of service and reduce disagreements in the management of organizations.

Feature extraction is an important process in image classification for achieving an efficient accuracy for the classification learning models. One of these methods is using the convolution neural networks. The use of the trained classic deep convolution neural networks as features extraction gives a considerable results in the remote sensing images classification models. So, this…

This paper proposes a closed association rule generation technique to investigate the association patterns of diseases that are frequent co-occurrence. Diseases records of 5,000 patients are studied to find the association patterns of disease co-occurrence. The CHARM algorithm is adapted to find frequent diseases that can cover all-important patterns with a small number. Then the…

The objective of this article is to highlight the relationship between the integration of sustainable development practices in Moroccan Small and Medium Enterprises (Smes) and the challenge sought by managers in order to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Indeed, present-day Smes are operating in a world where economic, social, societal or environmental constraints are constantly evolving.…

The study aims to demonstrate how the use of the design process can align a brand’s strategy with the interests of its target audience through a digital product based on a case study. Currently, Lexus internal studies show that there is a possibility to meet the needs of new audiences, beyond the traditional ones (men,…

The most common non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, are a problem in global and national growth. The World Health Organization considers it a priority to study the specific causes of these diseases for trend monitoring. The aim of this paper is to identify a hierarchy of clusters of Portuguese mortality by non-communicable…

ECG analysis is commonly used by medical practitioners and cardiologists for monitoring cardiac health. A high-performance automatic ECG classification system is a challenging area because there is difficulty in detecting and clustering various waveforms in the signal, especially in the manual analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. In this paper, an accurate (ECG) classification and monitoring…

Modern digitalized cyber domains are extremely complex ensemble. Cyber attacks or incidents against system may affect capricious effects for another system or even for physical devices. For understanding and training to encounter those effects requires an effective and complex simulation capability. Cyber Security Exercises are an effective expedient for training and learning measures and operations…

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…

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…

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…

Contextual continuous word representation showed promising performances in different natural language processing tasks. It stems from the fact that these word representations consider the context in which a word appears. But until recently, very little attention was paid to the contextual representations in Arabic question classification task. In the present study, we employed a contextual…
