Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the future of aviation. It is a vast system that provides situational awareness for the aviator and regulator at a very low cost and does so with the aid of multiple disparate systems working closely together and communicating with one another. ADS-B uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS/ GPS)…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic disorder that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar (glucose) in the blood and depends on a combination of risk factors, such as genes and lifestyle. Although certain risk factors such as family history, age, or ethnicity cannot be changed, those related to diet, physical activity, and weight…

Quantum computers are heterogeneous device. It consists of a main CPU and a quantum accelerator. True quantum accelerator (or coprocessor) is analog and probabilistic device. Qubits are the basic building blocks of quantum computers. But qubits can be digital. A digital qubit is similar to RISC processor pipeline and is an unique chain of digital…

Biological networks represent biological systems, and various graph analysis algorithms have been applied to solve various real-world problems. Network motif analysis, as one of network analyses, is detecting frequently and uniquely over-occurring subgraph patterns in a network. The detection process requires high computational resources, and various tools have been developed to provide efficient solutions. However,…

Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) is a solution for investors in determining the best energy-saving strategy for buildings. But on the other hand, investors need a fast and reliable evaluation results in measuring how effective the savings methods they use without wasting money. To address this issue, we selected Facebook’s latest predictive time series method…

Leachate generated from landfill Indonesia is typical has high salinity and organic matters during the dry season, potentially contaminating water and the environment. An increase in salinity might deteriorate the activity of the microorganisms on the decomposition process. This research aims to study the feasibility of the ozonation technique for treating stabilized leachate. The parameters…

In this paper, the effect of plane spacing between electrode planes on Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) reconstructed images is investigated. Image properties of models for various plane spacings between electrode planes on EIT imaging were investigated by applying conventional measurement strategies. Sensitivity analysis and spatial resolution analysis were used to study the influence of the…

This work presents the analysis and formulation for optimizing the dynamic model and parameter estimation of all the six joints of a 6DOF industrial robot manipulator by utilizing swarm intelligence to optimize two excitation trajectories for the first three links at the arm and the last three links at the wrist of the robot manipulator.…

This paper covers the study of high-frequency (~ 1 GHz) ZnO piezoelectric transducer integrated on a silicon substrate able to generate both compressional and shear acoustic waves. First, to promote the longitudinal mode, an electrical matching of the transducer in this high-frequency range is effectuated. Second, to promote shear waves, new deposition conditions were applied,…

The one-dimensional form of some types of differential equations that appear in the modeling of solid-state devices, like, e.g., the Poisson and Schro¨ dinger equations, can be solved numerically using the Numerov Process (NP). The accuracy of NP is superior by at least two orders of magnitude to that of commonly-used solution methods like, e.g.,…

The current online shopping system does not provide the actual shopping experience to the users where they scroll through the web pages and select an item to purchase, which becomes monotonous soon and lacks the shopping experience. This paper describes the development of the SmartMart, a 3D shopping mart where the user can navigate around…

This article shows the possibility of creating high wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on the AlSi12Cu aluminum alloy. The combination of influencing parameters during processing allows to influencing of the set of quality indicators of coating, such as the thickness of the coating layer, microhardness, porosity, phase and elemental composition. The…

The huge number of images on the image sharing websites poses challenges for classification and retrieval of the images. On many image sharing websites, tags can be assigned by the users to an image that describes the contextual and visual description of an image. However, ambiguous or incorrect tags have appeared in frequent tags that…

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…
