Comparing to other types of vehicle accidents, fatality rate of tipped rollover accidents shows significant number. Thus, tripped rollover prevention systems are important in order to keep driver safe. In other hands, different rollover indices are defined to handle the risk. The variable unknown parameters of each index, for instance, current load of the vehicle…

The performance of indoor illumination control in many applications, such as in an intelligent building, relies on the quality of the light sensors. In many cases, the light level is not uniform and depends on the direction of the illumination source. It usually requires multiple sensors set up in different directions to gather the overall…

Nowadays, smartphones and laptops equipped with cameras have become an integral part of our daily lives. The pervasive use of cameras enables the collection of an enormous amount of data, which can be easily extracted through video images processing. This opens up the possibility of using technologies that until now had been restricted to laboratories,…

In the present paper, a universal approach for determining the maximum flow problem in directed graph for solving different problems is applied. It can be considered as a heuristic and it can be used as a denomination for analyzing an arbitrary system with a mathematical description as a directed graph. The physical nature of the…

A happy employee with high morale is the best asset of an organization. The morale of an individual working in an organization can be impacted by both positive and negative ways by physical environment factors of the workplace. The physical environment of an organization impacts a lot on the work performance of an individual. It…

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is broadly accepted and has proved applicable in identifying consumers’ willingness to utilize information and communication technology (ICT). The theory proposes that Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) are actually determining factors of individual attitudes, while attitude is a determining factor of Behavioural Intention (BI) and Behavioural Intention…

Technology is advancing faster today than ever before with evidence of its impact in all facets of our lives. With the spread of the novel COVID-19 pandemic across the world, schools were closed as part of lockdown measures to contain the virus thereby disrupting academic curricula. Academic institutions leveraged ICTs to virtually engage students and…

The paper is aimed as a concise and relatively self-contained description of the educational environment TOST, used in teaching and learning Operating Systems basics such as Processes, Multiprogramming, Timesharing, Scheduling strategies, and Memory management. TOST also aids education in some important IT concepts such as Deadlock, Mutual exclusion, and Concurrent processes synchronization. The presented integrated…

3D city modeling may be considered as one of the key applications, that are provided by the Automated Feature Extraction (AFE) techniques from LiDAR data. The authors attempt to prove that with growing availability of LiDAR surveying methods the resulted 3D city models become the most significant modeled features for any urban environment. Our paper…

Project completion is a common and best practice for oil and gas and construction industry. It provides a comprehensive completion approach and gives total confidence to asset owner to operate the facility handed over by construction contractors. While the nature variation of asset hierarchy is unique from one type of asset to another, a project…

In this paper we are demonstrating the importance of building and achieving a renewable electrical power system that works in synchronization with the grid. The average of consumption, generation and the negative environmental effect of generating power were analyzed. This paper is divided into three parts, one was analyzed with Green Building Studio software and…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

In this paper we study a cell division cycle modeled by a system of partial differential equations with an age structure. This model translates the many regulatory mechanisms within the cell cycle where it introduces the notion of phases. The individual cell can be either in I phases where the transition between theses phases are…

Knowledge-based approach is wield used in various NLP applications. For example, to evaluate the semantic similarity between words, the semantic evidence in lexical ontologies (wordnets) is commonly used. The success of the English WordNet (EnWN) in this domain has inspired the creation of several wordnets in different languages, including the Arabic WordNet (ArWN). The English…

Logistics is a science and art that has been widely used by large commercial chains, whose main objectives focus on the distribution of products or services. This understanding has generated various logistics studies directed towards those businesses, without considering that science can also be applied to small or medium enterprises. The present study initially executes…

In this paper, a portable Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system was designed and implemented for human movements and breathing detection. The radar operates with a frequency band ranges from 4.7 to 4.9GHz. The radar sub-systems were designed and simulated using up to date computer-aided-design tools before implementation. The Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO), high…

The large and ever-increasing variety of remote sensing sensors used in satellite imagery today explains why detecting changes between identical locations in images that are captured, at two separate times, from heterogeneous capturing systems is a major and challenging recent research problem in the field of satellite imaging for fast and accurate determination of temporal…

Big data is a vast data set that was used in many areas. Online applications are subject to theft of confidential information because opponents can exploit software errors to access private data, and because curious or malicious officials can capture and lose data.
