The Gembong reservoir in Pati Regency, Java, Indonesia is a rain-fed reservoir, which experiences a depletion of it carrying capacity. The characteristic of local rainfall is one of the important factors in assessing the potential of hydrometeorology disasters in its area. Sedimentation in watersheds and reservoirs has covered water sources, so local rainfall determines the…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2019 Third World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems Security and Sustainability (WorldS4). Author describes two new methods: reactive protection method (without delay after detecting an attack), which consists in virtualizing the execution environment of supercomputers processes if the calculated state descriptor falls into the…

The emerging trend of modern industry automation requires intelligence to be embedded into mobile robot for ensuring optimal or near-optimal solutions to execute certain task. This yield to a lot of improvement and suggestions in many areas related to mobile robot such as path planning. The purpose of this paper is to review the mobile…

This paper presents a solution that automates Abaca fiber grading which would help the time-consuming baling of Abaca fiber produce. The study introduces an objective instrument paired with a system to automate the grade classification of Abaca fiber using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this study, 140 sample images of abaca fibers were used, which…

Vegetable oils are often proved to be promising for industrial lubrication applications among which soybean oil found to be better due to its attractive and desirable thermo physical properties for machining compared to other vegetable oils. However, already it was established that influenced desirable thermophysical properties necessary for a vegetable oil through which better machining…

Human behavior quantification is an essential part of psychological science. One of the cases is measuring human personality. Social media provide rich text, which can be beneficial as a data source to get valuable insight. Previous researches show that social media offered favorable circumstances for psychological researchers by tracking, analyzing, and predicting human character. In…

Location-based services have become increasingly prevalent with the advancement in the positioning capabilities of smart devices and their emergence in social networking. In order to acquire a service, users must submit their identity, query interest and location details to service providers. Such information shared by users are accumulated continuously, stored and analyzed in order to…

In recent years, cyber security has been received interest from several research communities with respect to Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Cyber security is “a fast-growing field demanding a great deal of attention because of remarkable progresses in social networks, cloud and web technologies, online banking, mobile environment, smart grid, etc.” An IDS is a software…

Over time, several routing protocols have been suggested for use in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Because of availability of so many MANETs routing protocols, network engineers and administrators face difficulties in identifying an appropriate routing protocol for a particular scenario. This challenge results from the unavailability of adequate technical analytic studies designed to examine…

Modern microcontrollers are capable to realize not only traditional PID-regulators but also adaptive ones. Object of control parameters estimation is the biggest part of adaptive control from the point of view of time consumption. The ways to reduce this time for digital control systems based on ARM-CORTEX 32-bit and 64-bit processors are shown in the…

This article considers the creation of a program / website as an example of a centralized system for all universities in order to more easily familiarize an applicant and / or student with the internal politics and capabilities of the university. Existing problems in the training system are examined, why distance learning is relevant, what…

It is difficult to accurately segment brain MRI in the complex structures of brain tumors, blurred borders, and external variables such as noise. Much research in developing as well as developed countries show that the number of individuals suffering tumor of the brain has died as a result of the inaccurate diagnosis. The proposed article,…

To build a precise mathematical model describing a natural phenomenon, parameter estimation is needed to achieve the best parameter value. In this paper, we have calculated the best parameter value for a two-dimensional advection-dispersion differential equation of the biological oxygen demand degradation process in a facultative wastewater stabilization pond. This research was conducted with case…

Increasing the telecommunications products that allow Vector Network Analyzer is becoming more common tools to measure the S-Parameter.
