As a result of digitalization, services become highly dependent on information systems thus increasing the criticality of security management. However, with system complexity and the involvement of more human resources, it becomes more arduous to monitor and track tasks and responsibilities. This creates a lack of visibility hindering decision making. To support operational monitoring, we…

In this paper, we investigate and analyze parameters degradation in a typical photovoltaic (PV) cell, which lead to power loss under dark as well as light condition using measured current-voltage (I-V) data. A nonlinear least squares method to extract the parameters such as the reverse saturation currents, the ideality factors, the series and shunt resistances…

The objective of this paper is to allocate transmission congestion cost to responsible generators using a novel method. Deregulation of the electrical power system leads to the compulsion of open access to the transmission system for all entities of the power system. There is a trend to utilize cheaper generators by all loads. This leads…

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are having large demands in enormous applications for the decade. The main issue in WSNs is estimating the exact location of unknown nodes. All applications are dependent on the location information of unknown nodes in WSNs. Location information of mobile anchor node is used to estimate the location of unknown nodes.…

The use of heuristic methods in teaching is not possible without the cooperation of all or part of the students’ academic group. That is, the teacher who made the decision to apply the heuristic method de facto solves the issues of organizing project method in teaching. There are a large number of indications on the…

This article proposes a compact and simple design of electronically adjustable voltage-mode biquadratic filter using fundamental active cell implemented on a single integrated circuit (IC) package as LT1228. The proposed circuit having triple inputs and single output (TISO) employs namely one resistor and two capacitors as the passive components. All the five possible biquadratic filtering…

Nowadays the sustainable awareness trend is increasing. The consumers’ attitude has changed, causing companies to pay more attention to management in a sustainable way. Effective sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) can increase social, economic, and environmental benefits. Important factors from literatures were gather and organized to be a framework for SSCM. The proposed framework incorporates…

This paper presents the method of simulating the personal knowledge management (PKM) processes, based on Get-Understand-Share-Connect (GUSC) Model, using real event logs data from an online learning platform. The method used in here is process discovery and conformance, which are the process mining techniques. Having the model proven at granular level of multi-agent system, this…

Social media attracts a lot of users around the world. Many reasons drive people to use social media sites such as expressing opinions and ideas, displaying their diaries and sharing them with others, social communication with family and friends and building new social relationships, learning and sharing knowledge. Written text is one of the most…

Online fashion market is constantly growing, and an algorithm capable of identifying garments can help companies in the clothing sales sector to understand the profile of potential buyers and focus on sales targeting specific niches, as well as developing campaigns based on the taste of customers and improve user experience. Artificial Intelligence approaches able to…

Modern power systems are topologically and structurally complicated due to their complex interconnections. Consequently, the complexity of the dynamic stability assessment be-comes more tedious, most especially, when considering a power electronics-based power system operating under faulty conditions. This paper, therefore suggests an alternative approach of Network Structural-Based Technique (NSBT) for the analysis and enhancement of…

Hearing impairments have a negative impact in the lives of individuals living with them and those around such individuals. Different applications and technological tools have been developed to help reduce this negative impact. Most mobile applications that have been developed that use Speech-to-Text technology have been inconsistent such that they are not inclusive of all…
