The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can contribute to find solutions and add value to several agricultural problems, favoring thus productivity, better quality control processes and flexible farm management. In addition, the strategies that allow the acquisition and analysis of data from agricultural environments can help optimize current practices such as crop counting. The…

With a view to detecting whether economic activity deterioration for elderly people at age of sixty-five or over could be observed, anonymous data (AD) were used as analysis data, which were obtained from the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure (NSFIE) conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). We have developed…

Harassment and violence against women have become one of the social security problems in Bangladesh. In this paper, we aim to develop safety devices for women named BOHNNI and BADHON which resemble legitimate jewelry. We used a microcontroller for the hardware device to make it most decisive and less immoderate. BOHNNI, a locating device, is…

Formal methods are one of the efficient tools to verify and validate designs for different kinds of systems. Smart systems are attracting researchers’ attention due to the rapid spread of new technologies all over the world. Modeling a smart system requires connecting heterogeneous subsystems together to build it. Our contribution to this work is in…

Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) has been introduced for LTE-Advanced system to overcome the inter-cell interference problems and enhance the signal quality of cell-edge UEs (User Equipments). With such concept, the overall system performance should be improved considerably to support the significantly increasing amount of demand on data transmission via mobile communication that happens nowadays. Dynamic Point…

Brain-computer interface (BCI) has extensively been used for rehabilitation purposes. Being in the research phase, the brainwave based wheelchair controlled systems suffer from several limitations, e.g., lack of focus on mental activity, complexity in neural behavior in different conditions, and lower accuracy. Being sensitive to the color stimuli, the EEG signal changes promises a better…

Waste is currently a serious problem often found in rural areas, rural areas, and even industrial areas. Waste is a side effect of activities carried out by humans to meet social or industrial needs. Increasing human productivity will also increase the amount of waste produced. To overcome this, a sorting management system is needed. Good…

The article substantiates the relevance of conducting research on the structural characteristics of a company’s employee knowledge, which is the result of his mental activity and his practical experience. The conditions under which information becomes a source of employee knowledge are determined. An abstract analysis of the process of transforming knowledge into an intellectual product…

Forecasting food prices play an important role in livestock and agriculture to maximize profits and minimizing risks. An accurate food price prediction model can help the government which leads to optimization of resource allocation. This paper uses ridge regression as an approach for forecasting with many predictors that are related to the target variable. Ridge…

The ecosystems and landscape patterns in Lake Victoria basin are increasingly being modified by changes in land use/land cover. Understanding dynamics of these changes is essential for appropriate planning. This study evaluated changes in landscape environment, of the lakeside counties of the Kenyan Lake Victoria basin, which have occurred over a forty-year period (1978-2018) and…

This article aims to determine to what extent the self-perception of acquiring professional skills has been affect ed, by the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in University Students of Business Administration; For which, the results obtained in two satisfaction survey processes, carried out in academic semesters 2019-B and 2020-A, have been compared, marking a before…

Induction motors (IM) are used widely in high energy applications where high torque is required such as ships/ aircrafts manufacturing industry. Those motor drivers are populated in many advantages especially their wide control strategies. However, new technology is invented for enhancing efficiency and smoothing the torque curve by increasing number of phases in the motor…

Internet of Things provides the support for devices, people and things to collaborate in collecting, analyzing and sharing sensitive information from one device onto the other through the internet. The internet of things is thriving largely due to access, connectivity, artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches that it supports. The stability and enhanced speed of…

The Public Administration is forced to transform itself by taking advantage of the contribution of ICT to in the process of reducing bureaucracy and increase transparency, promoting the dematerialization of processes, increasing the quality of online services, allowing greater ubiquity of access, reducing response times, in the search for improvement of the quality of life…

The Anopheles gambiae’s CYP6Z3 protein belongs to the Cytochrome P450 family and functions in oxidation-reduction processes, many studies including our previous work on elucidating insecticide resistance genes of the Anopheles also implicated her in pyrethroid insecticide resistance. Model prediction, functional analysis, and enrichment of the target gene with triplex binding sites may become a useful…

Industry 4.0 implementation stipulates effective actuator control. In the present work, a complex order PIa+jb Dc+jd (COPID) controller was designed for a fractional order model of a direct current (DC) motor system. For comparisons, the DC motor system model was also controlled using the conventional proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID), proportional resonant (PR) and fractional…

Compared to other types of autonomous vehicles, the single-seat is the simplest when designing, since its compact design makes it an option that can simplify different mechanical aspects and enhance those of greater importance such as the steering and the braking system. Likewise, the electronic and electrical design may be a great improvement on the…

Vehicle number plate detection and recognition is an integral part of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) as every vehicle has a number plate as part of its identity. The quantity of vehicles on road is growing in the modern age, so numerous crimes are also increasing day by day. Almost every day the news of…

Quality of service is a significant part of formulating a composing of web services to satisfy the user’s request, especially when several services exist and have been implemented in the same field and functionality. The selection process of web services among many options can be taken based on the quality of service considerations, fitness parameters,…
