The energy states, transitions chances, oscillator intensities, and collision intensities were computed with FAC (fully relativistic flexible atomic code) program. The calculated results were utilized for identification of the reduced population to sixty-nine thin structural states in C-like Zn (XXV) and indicates the gain coefficients with several electron densities (from 10+20 to 10+22 cm3) and…

This study evaluated the competencies related to digital information use through technological tools aiming to acquire applicable knowledge by searching and retrieving information. Methodologically, a quasi-experimental design without a control group was applied to a sample of primary education students from Chile (n=266). First, a diagnosis of the digital-informational skills is performed, and, later, the…

There is no doubt that energy is one of the most important requirements of life, and its importance increases with the passage of time, and this is what make countries to harness the capabilities and scientists in developing energy systems of all kinds, one of the most important energy systems these days is what is…

Humans have experienced motion sickness and possessed the knowledge of stereopsis since classical antiquity. Knowledge of stereopsis dates back to approximately 300 B.C., when Euclid first recognized the concept of depth perception in human vision. Further, the motion sickness is including a sensation of wooziness and nausea that has been documented since approximately 400 B.C.,…

This paper addresses experiments with Scratch-developed games in the robotics introduction course at the Federal University of Technology – Paraná. It aims at assisting learning of classical and initial robotics concepts. This proposal, similar to the classic 80s war tanks game on Atari 2600, was developed using an autonomous vehicle. In the first experiment, applied…

In control systems, several optimization problems have been overcome using Multi-Agent Sys- tems (MAS). Interactions of agents and the complexity of the system can be understood by using MAS. As a result, functional models are generated, which are closer to reality. Nevertheless, the use of models with permanent availability of information between agents is assumed…

Educators should be considered the learning style of students so that the best practice approach can be applied in learning activities. As students understand their learning style, they will be able to integrate it into their learning process. Kolb Learning Style was the learning style that was widely used based on the theory of learning…

The importance of rare earth resources is increasing and a lot of investigations are conducting all over the world. As a result, it was discovered that abundant deep-sea mud contained rare-earth elements on the deep-sea floor. The suction mining method can be one of the effective seabed mining methods to recover these seafloor sediments. However,…

Lab sessions in Engineering Education are designed to reinforce theoretical concepts. However, there is usually not enough time to reinforce all of them. Remote and virtual labs give students more time to reinforce those concepts. In particular, with remote labs, this can be done interacting with real lab instruments and specific configurations. This work proposes…

The Hamming neural network is an effective tool for solving problems of recognition and classification of objects, the components of which are encoded using a binary bipolar alphabet, and as a measure of the objects’ proximity the difference between the number of identical bipolar components which compared include objects and the Hamming distance between them…

Just as industry is dynamic, constantly evolving according to the state of technology, economics, politics and so on, so must be, higher education. Studies have shown that higher education, for the past century, has constantly adapted to the dynamic skill and knowledge requirements of industry. This adaptation, however, is not always timeous and precise resulting…

This paper is an extended version of work published in IPFA 2020. In the previous paper, advanced physical failure analysis (PFA) techniques for rescuing damaged samples with cracks, scratches, or unevenness in delayering are introduced. In the present work, the techniques will be further exploited and summarized for the potential applications in general devices. The…

The new generation of mobile communications and the recent advances in data management are going to enable a fast transformation in the health sector of many countries. 5G networks, with superior technical characteristics, would allow the development of a new set of application and services gathered under the concept of eHealth. In this article we…

A reconfigurable Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) radar prototype for supporting the italian financial police to contrast smuggling, is proposed in this work. In particular, the proposed radar can provide information related to the container contents and the presence of false bottoms speeding up the control operations at borders and ports. Moreover, it is able…

With the advent of internet technology and social media, patterns of social communication in daily lives have changed whereby people use different social networking platforms. Microblog is a new platform for sharing opinions by means of emblematic expressions, which has become a resource for research on emotion analysis. Recognition of emotion from microblogs (REM) is…

The following document analyzes the current situation in mobility and intelligent transportation in Colombia and in some cities around the world. Presenting several cases of success and implementation of technologies and protocols that seek to improve the problems with the greatest impact in today’s cities, such as traffic congestion, environmental impact, accessibility, and road safety.…

The recent advances in geoscience technologies and earth observation tools have evolved in recent years in a fast cadence. Since 1980 with the apparition of Landsat mission firstly named the Earth Resources Technology Satellite, with 80 m spatial resolution; the ability to capture finest details was limited. The emergence of new concepts in agriculture like…

At the conference “System timing, shaping and signal processing” “SYNCHRONO-2020” there was report: “Simulation of steady state microwave oscillator with dielectric resonator” and “Microwave generators, driven by voltage-based microassemblies with dielectric resonators”. An algorithm for calculating a generator with an open dielectric resonator is described. Based on the DesignLab 8.0 simulation environment, the analysis of…

Aiming at the problem of fatigue driving, this paper proposed a driver fatigue tracking and detection method combined with OpenMV. OpenMV is used for image acquisition, and the Dlib feature point model is used to locate the detected driver’s face. The aspect ratio of eyes is calculated to judge the opening and closing of eyes,…

The Present work is to investigate effect of dry sliding wear behaviour of ZA27 base alloy, after reinforcing it with Molybdenum Di Sulphide (MoS2) particles from 0% to 4% in five steps. To examine the wear behaviour of both reinforced and un-reinforced material, dry or unlubricated pin on disc tests were conducted. These tests were…

Erosion affects large parts of Moroccan land, particularly in the mountains leading to soil quality deterioration and less vegetation cover. Located in the South-west of Morocco, the Site of Biological and Ecological Interest (SBEI) of Ain Asmama, where erosion threatens a major part of the region was investigated. The site has a terraced transitional bioclimate,…

Virtual reality (VR) is finding applications in a wide range of industries; however, a significant number of users find VR experience considerably different from the real-world experience. To match the real-world experience, the VR experience should look real, should be immersive, and be in line with the users’ anticipation. Achieving realism in the virtual representation…
