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 Internet has become an indispensable tool for the realization and continuity of activity at a different time, place, and technological context (e.g., mobile, pc, tablet), so that interaction techniques through the use of multi-device support have become of great interest. From this perspective, continuity in interactions is an essential concept in the face…

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…

Nowadays almost every PLC manufacturer offer a so-called safety PLC. It is a specific category of PLC, which in recent years have become a commonly used means of performing safety functions, especially in industrial applications. In this area of specific applications, a maximum of SIL 3 is normally required. However, the guaranteed safety features of…

This article copes with the formal verification of properties of the missions building module of PILOT’s software. PILOT is a language dedicated to remote control of robots. An incremental syntax-oriented editor was built in order to increase the dependability of PILOT’s missions and we showed that, under a maximum size of plan, this editor allows…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

The objective of this article is to determine if the self-perception of professional competences has been affected, in systems engineering students, during the health emergency declared in Peru by Covid-19; The results will allow the public university of Peru to make corrective decisions and formulate proposals to improve the functioning of the variable under study.…

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…

This paper discusses synergistic prospects of the blue economy from the perspective of underwater astronomy and scientific inquiry, technological and economic development. The presented research investigates how the synergy enhances computing applications. The paper presents…

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…

In this paper, we are concerned to investigate the efficiency of the second-order Redlich-Kister Finite Difference (RKFD) discretization scheme together with the Four Point Explicit Group Kaudd Successive Over Relaxation (4EGKSOR) iterative method for solving two-point boundary value problems (TPBVPs). In order to apply this block iteration to solve any linear system, firstly we discretize…

Disruptive innovation has created fast changes in the business environment and competition among companies, especially on information technology companies. Knowledge creation and entrepreneurial orientation are two variables that can improve firm performance. There is still limited study on how knowledge creation and entrepreneurial orientation both affects firm performance. This study aims to discuss how to…

Classic surgical skill evaluation is performed by an expert surgeon examining an apprentice in a hospital operating room. This method suffers from being subjective and expensive. As surgery becomes more complex and specialized, there is an increase need for an automated surgical skill evaluation system that is more objective and determines more exactly the skills…

This paper proposes an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) design for a haptic display platform structure. The motivation for the following scheme originates from the shortcomings faced by classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers in control theory. The ADRC is an unconventional model-independent approach, acknowledged as an effective controller in the existence of total plant…

The current concept of open innovation corresponds to the R&D products transfer model – “role changes”. One of the fundamental provisions of the model is that R&D products are considered for commercialization not only at the final stage of technological readiness, but at any of them. In today’s changing market environment, special attention is paid…

Despite the significant progress made in data mining technologies in recent years, breast cancer risk prediction and diagnosis at an early stage using DNA microarray technology still a real challenging task. This challenge comes especially from the high-dimensionality in gene expression data, i.e., an enormous number of genes versus a few tens of subjects (samples).…
