Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the future of aviation. It is a vast system that provides situational awareness for the aviator and regulator at a very low cost and does so with the aid of multiple disparate systems working closely together and communicating with one another. ADS-B uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS/ GPS)…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic disorder that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar (glucose) in the blood and depends on a combination of risk factors, such as genes and lifestyle. Although certain risk factors such as family history, age, or ethnicity cannot be changed, those related to diet, physical activity, and weight…

Manufacturing industry is facing several challenges in power quality and energy consumptions that play a significant role in the cost of goods sold in addition to the operational efficiency of manufacturing plants.

Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) is a solution for investors in determining the best energy-saving strategy for buildings. But on the other hand, investors need a fast and reliable evaluation results in measuring how effective the savings methods they use without wasting money. To address this issue, we selected Facebook’s latest predictive time series method…

The need to update the news at this time is very important. Journalists have responsibilities as their job. Apart from conveying the correct news to the public, they must also deliver it quickly. Journalists who are tasked as news seekers must always be updated about the latest news that is viral, therefore a journalist must…

Leachate generated from landfill Indonesia is typical has high salinity and organic matters during the dry season, potentially contaminating water and the environment. An increase in salinity might deteriorate the activity of the microorganisms on the decomposition process. This research aims to study the feasibility of the ozonation technique for treating stabilized leachate. The parameters…

In this article, the Grebennikov cubic spline, the Ryabenky cubic spline, and we offer the local interpolation cubic spline models are selected. The construction details of the models were given and the processes of approximating the functions were performed using selected local cubic splines. We can also say that the local interpolation cubic spline models…

Lime mortar, an age-long building material is primarily popular for its flexibility, the basis of its ability to accommodate masonry deformation, hence durability. However, lime’s characteristic delayed setting/hardening time, low mechanical strength and poor internal cohesion often characterised by volumetric changes have put its use into decline. These shortcomings have therefore relegated relevance of this…

This study aims to discuss the establishment of digital culture in higher education as an effort of higher education to align themselves with the development of science and technology so that that higher education is always at the forefront in the enforcement and provide high-quality education. The method used in this study is a qualitative…

The one-dimensional form of some types of differential equations that appear in the modeling of solid-state devices, like, e.g., the Poisson and Schro¨ dinger equations, can be solved numerically using the Numerov Process (NP). The accuracy of NP is superior by at least two orders of magnitude to that of commonly-used solution methods like, e.g.,…

The current online shopping system does not provide the actual shopping experience to the users where they scroll through the web pages and select an item to purchase, which becomes monotonous soon and lacks the shopping experience. This paper describes the development of the SmartMart, a 3D shopping mart where the user can navigate around…

In this paper, the investigated results on tool wear in milling process of a Gleason spiral bevel gear was investigated. The CVD Ti (C, N)-Al2O3-TiN coated carbide inserts were used in the experimental process. The cutting inserts clamped on the tool head of Gleason tool head system. The workpiece material that was used in this…

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…

This research shows the study carried out on the Health Related to Quality of Life (HRQL) focuses on aspects related to the perception of health experienced and declared by the person, in different dimensions such as physical, mental, social, general perception of health and satisfaction achieved measured at different levels; the objective of the study…

Discrete component based ultra-wideband SPDT switch modelling, design and implementation challenges are reported in this article. The basic SPDT switch is planned to design using PIN diodes (bare die). Nonlinear parameters extraction steps of PIN diode from datasheets have been proposed in this article instead of using readymade nonlinear PIN diode models. Equalizers are designed…

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) was widely used for treating tumors non-invasively. In this treatment, ultrasound is focused on the target volume inside the human body to ablate cancerous tissues and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is mainly used to grasp the target position and to measure the temperature distributions around the target. However, MRI is…

We consider the estimation of empirical probability distributions, both discrete and continuous. We focus on deriving formulas to estimate number of categories for the discrete distribution, when the number of categories is hidden, and the means and methods to estimate the number of components in the Gaussian mixture model representing a probability density function given…

Due to the advent of cloud computing and Internet of Things, smart meters have become a crucial part of smart cities. Smart meters generate vast amounts of fine-grained data that can immediately provide useful information to electricity consumers, such as automatic billing, load monitoring, and dynamic time pricing. This will make the electricity consumers more…

In 1980, an application was developed to track, manage and store documents in electronic format. Scan technology has enabled organizations to digitize papers for easier document storage and tracking. Document management tools have since developed by introducing new functionalities, related to security, users services, workflow and audit. Our research is part of the context of…

Atmospheric pressure plasma was used to treat polypropylene (PP) surfaces. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was used to determine the chemical species formed in the plasma as well as the electron temperature and density of the plasma. The flux of species (O and OH) produced during the plasma treatment interact with the polymer surface creating polar…

The Internet of Things (IoT) application has been experiencing increasingly progressive demand, especially for embedded devices (ED). However, the ED has limited capabilities, low power consumption resources, and low bandwidth in connecting to the Internet by using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the WSNs form creates a necessity for new technologies and protocols for the…

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year destabilised the operations in the education sector, particularly in institutions of higher learning. Most of these institutions are now expected to teach online, assess their students using non-venue examinations and offer remote laboratory practical and experiments. However, many of these institutions were not prepared for such…
