The world is facing an unprecedented virus outbreak, COVID-19, hitting more than 200 countries. Governments have been striving to prevent the spread of the virus through the lockdown. During the strict lockdown in Jordan, people needed to stay home, and they used available social networks to keep updated on COVID-19, with Facebook, the most popular…

One of the open domain challenges for Spoken Dialogue System (SDS) is to maintain a natural conversation for rarely visited domain i.e. domain with fewer data. Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) is a component of SDS that converts user utterance into a semantic form that a computer can understand. If we scale SDS open domain challenge…

This paper describes methods of eliminating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) non-destructively, using Electronic Warfare Methods. The aim is to introduce certain methods of UAV detection and elimination in a complex environment and terrain, e.g., in an urban and battlefield environment, that will result in finding the control device position and the UAV itself. Neural networks,…

The paper examines the impact on the product life cycle of reducing the duration of the development stages of aviation technology through the use of multi-criteria optimization. The subject of the study is the nose of a supersonic aircraft and the process of linking it. This example describes in detail the application of a comprehensive…

Family functionality is when the family meets the needs of its members, especially adolescents. Resilience is the adolescent’s ability to face situations in which there are difficulties, life problems and thus be able to overcome them. The purpose of the study is to determine the Level of Resilience and Family Functionality in Adolescents of two…

The article describes a way to increase the efficiency of an abrasive tool by its impregnation in an aqueous solution of chromium diiodide. The device scheme for impregnating the instrument is proposed. Research results of durability of tools impregnated with chromium diiodide and structural condition of material of a surface layer of details after processing…

In recent decades, the challenge of managing the development teams spread across different time zones has become increasingly common, raising the importance of the development of Global Software Development (GSD) techniques, in order to tackle its particular problems. This work discuss these issues in the context of Sidia, an R&D institute which implements technological solutions…

A grid is a system that can manage and organize services and resources that spread amongst different control domains, employ interfaces and protocols, and offer a high quality of services. The integration of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) with a grid environment significantly affects grid performance. MAS is considered a suitable solution for open systems that modify…

Digital twins act through application programming interfaces to their physical counterparts to monitor, model, and control them. Beyond these traditional functions of digital twins, they must also act to secure their physical counterparts. A multi-model scheme is presented to help digital twins towards the task of securing the physical system. Additionally, this work includes an…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in PM2.5 Prediction-based Weather Forecast Information and Missingness Challenges: A Case Study Industrial and Metropolis Areas, which focused on imputation algorithm to solve missingness challenge and demonstrated a basic prediction system to prove the proposed algorithm, II-MPA. Distributed and decentralized systems, recently, have been proven for…

Wind energy is emerged rapidly as the most important and viable sustainable power source due to the mature technology and wide availability. The integration of wind energy sources and utilization of nonlinear loads having different characteristics results in several challenges in a distribution system. One of which is power quality issue .Hence, in this work,…

In order to balance the power in intelligent distribution networks (Smart Grid or Microgrid), it is proposed to organize a «multi operated virtual power plant». The resources of active and reactive power for which can be obtained using an AC voltage controller with a phase-angle control for regulation of operating modes of the ohmic load…

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…

The fast-paced development of smart technologies and the prevalence of vehicles, created an urgent demands to study and improve safety issues related to driving. In order to reduce traffic accidents, driving behavior was found to be very important issues to study and investigate. Recently, the advent and widespread of smartphone platforms with advanced computing competence…

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,…

The adoption of technical decisions in the development of a new aircraft is carried out under the condition of insufficient information on the mass – dimensional and aerodynamic characteristics that will be achieved during the project. Insufficient information on the input parameters (weight and aerodynamic characteristics) leads to uncertainties in the values of the flying…

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.
