There is no doubt that energy is one of the most important requirements of life, and its importance increases with the passage of time, and this is what make countries to harness the capabilities and scientists in developing energy systems of all kinds, one of the most important energy systems these days is what is…

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a key technology for preventing an ongoing global coronavirus epidemic. Due to the limited corpus database and the morphological diversity of the Thai language, Thai speech recognition is still difficult. In this research, the automatic speech recognition model was built differently from the traditional Thai NLP systems by using…

Survivability of systems is a very important system property and consists major concern for organizations and companies. Survivable systems should maintain their critical services functional in a timely manner. There are several approaches, proposed in the literature, on how to develop survivable telecommunication systems, but the majority is based on node outages or path failures,…

Estimation of optimal Air or oxygen is important for the combustion process to be efficient and produce more energy. This is to be based on each component of the fuel and the air, considering their respective pressure and density. At first, this research investigates the role of , ,  present in combination with , and…

Humans have experienced motion sickness and possessed the knowledge of stereopsis since classical antiquity. Knowledge of stereopsis dates back to approximately 300 B.C., when Euclid first recognized the concept of depth perception in human vision. Further, the motion sickness is including a sensation of wooziness and nausea that has been documented since approximately 400 B.C.,…

In this investigation, an integrated physics-informed deep learning and topology optimization approach for solving density-based topology designs is presented to accomplish efficiency and flexibility. In every iteration, the neural network generates feasible topology designs, and then the topology performance is evaluated using the finite element method. Unlike the data-driven methods where the loss functions are…

This paper addresses experiments with Scratch-developed games in the robotics introduction course at the Federal University of Technology – Paraná. It aims at assisting learning of classical and initial robotics concepts. This proposal, similar to the classic 80s war tanks game on Atari 2600, was developed using an autonomous vehicle. In the first experiment, applied…

Although the perception of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) has been thoroughly investigated, but there is inconsistency in the results. The relationship between nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, financial development, economic growth, foreign direct investment, and electric power consumption in Bahrain over the period 1980 – 2012 is examined in this paper. The autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL)…

Multi-Robot System (MRS) is a complex system that contains many different software and hardware components. This main problem addressed in this article is the MRS design complexity. The proposed solution provides a modular modeling and simulation technique that is based on formal system engineering method, therefore the MRS design complexity is decomposed and reduced. Modeling…

The importance of rare earth resources is increasing and a lot of investigations are conducting all over the world. As a result, it was discovered that abundant deep-sea mud contained rare-earth elements on the deep-sea floor. The suction mining method can be one of the effective seabed mining methods to recover these seafloor sediments. However,…

The objective of this research is to propose the estimator of the population mean for incomplete data by using information of simple linear relationship model in the data set. In addition, the factorization of the likelihood function is created to derive the maximum likelihood estimator for the population mean. The simulation study was conducted for…

Transformers are habitually designed and manufactured for operation at a fundamental frequency of 50Hz and sinusoidal load current. Transformers are susceptible to non-linear loads. The inception of switching action characterises Non-linear loads and consequently nonsinusoidal load current which brings about higher transformer service losses, hotspot temperature rise, and degradation of cellulosic and liquid insulation, and…

This study aimed to develop an airflow-vibrator motivated facility and assess exercise behaviors. The combination design involved computer-controlled airflow/ vibrators, a user interface program, and an adjustable structure presenting interaction options. The teacher and the participants can choose specific music with adjustable speed. The researcher did interviews during the initial test and field study. During…

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…

This paper is an extended version of work published in IPFA 2020. In the previous paper, advanced physical failure analysis (PFA) techniques for rescuing damaged samples with cracks, scratches, or unevenness in delayering are introduced. In the present work, the techniques will be further exploited and summarized for the potential applications in general devices. The…

We propose a novel framework exploiting domain-aware aspect similarity for solving the multi- source cross-domain sentiment classification problem under the constraint of little labeled data. Existing works mainly focus on identifying the common sentiment features from all domains with weighting based on the coarse-grained domain similarity. We argue that it might not provide an accurate…

Genome-wide association studies, or GWAS, have reported associations between SNPs and specific diseases/traits. GWAS results contain variants located in different genomic regions, including variants in the 3’UTR. MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are small noncoding RNAs that bind to the 3’UTRs of genes to regulate gene expression. However, variant(s) that are located in the 3’UTR could impact…
