This study used 15 VECM analysis models to analyze the relationship among exchange rates of South Korea, China and Japan; and between exchange rates of each country and international financial market variables. The analysis variables are the Won, Yuan, Yen spot exchange rates and international financial market variables. The results of the analysis are as…

In today’s modern world, reliable automatic personal recognition is a crucial area of discussion, primarily because of the increased security risks. A large number of systems first require the recognition of a person before they can access their services. Biometric recognition can be used, which can be understood as automatic identification or automatic verification of…

This paper presents an adaptive step-size and variable leaky least mean square algorithm based on nonlinear adaptive filter with the adaptive lookup table using spline interpolation. An adaptive step-size approach is proposed with the energy of squared previous and present errors to boost up the convergence rate. A modified variable leaky mechanism is proposed with…

This research describes new traffic congestion analysis method “Traffic Congestion Triangle” based on more than one month real traffic big data analysis in India. The location of the research is one of typical economical growing cities Ahmedabad in Gujarat state of India. The traffic congestion becomes more serious issues in most developing countries and the…

In this report, polymeric composites made from Polypropylene (PP) and talc powder were studied. The talc powder with different portions of 10%, 20%, 30% by weight was used to create samples. The samples were examined by the tensile test and the flexural test according to ASTM D638 and ASTM D790. The surface morphology of the…

The problematic of plastic pollution in the world has led to an interest in the research and development of thermoset starch-protein blend bioplastics as a possible alternative for single use non-recyclable plastics. However, these bioplastics lack the physico-chemical characteristics that make them useful as a replacement for the currently used plastics. This work aims to…

The performance of Simultaneous Clustering and Model Selection Matrix Affinity (SCAMSMA) and Deep Divergence-Based Clustering (DDC) in clustering wireless mul- tipaths generated by COST 2100 channel model (C2CM) is compared. Enhancing the accuracy of clustering multipaths is an open area of research which the clustering ap- proaches try to improve. Jaccard index is used as…

A grid is a system that can manage and organize services and resources that spread amongst different control domains, employ interfaces and protocols, and offer a high quality of services. The integration of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) with a grid environment significantly affects grid performance. MAS is considered a suitable solution for open systems that modify…

Wind energy is emerged rapidly as the most important and viable sustainable power source due to the mature technology and wide availability. The integration of wind energy sources and utilization of nonlinear loads having different characteristics results in several challenges in a distribution system. One of which is power quality issue .Hence, in this work,…

Long-range, Low-Power Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) is a very scalable solution for the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to the air channel environment’s complexity, connectivity is a crucial parameter for successfully planning and deploying the IoT networks. Measurements and simulations have been used to evaluate LoRaWAN propagation models in the Urban environment, but it is…

Project completion is a common and best practice for oil and gas and construction industry. It provides a comprehensive completion approach and gives total confidence to asset owner to operate the facility handed over by construction contractors. While the nature variation of asset hierarchy is unique from one type of asset to another, a project…

The large and ever-increasing variety of remote sensing sensors used in satellite imagery today explains why detecting changes between identical locations in images that are captured, at two separate times, from heterogeneous capturing systems is a major and challenging recent research problem in the field of satellite imaging for fast and accurate determination of temporal…

After studying the aviation problems in Iraq, on one hand, and because Iraq has various weather characteristics due to its different terrains (i.e. mountains, plain fields, and deserts). We discussed these problems with pilots and aviation specialists, and came to the conclusion that the main offset faced is vision deficiency is foggy and dusty weather.…

Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…

We describe the control design strategy used to control a soft robotic artificial muscle composed of silicone rubber using hand gesture signals. This artificial muscle is actuated with pneumatics, and therefore, the control strategy employed is through the regulation of air pressure within the inner chambers. Using the hand gestures of bringing the hands apart…

Several challenges like changes in brightness, dynamic background, occlusion and inconsistency of camera position make the recognition of hand gestures difficult in any vision-based method. Diversity in finger shape, size, distribution and motion dynamics is also a big constraint. This leads to the motivation in developing a dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) flow based…

This article discusses the problem of handwriting recognition in Kazakh and Russian languages. This area is poorly studied since in the literature there are almost no works in this direction. We have tried to describe various approaches and achievements of recent years in the development of handwritten recognition models in relation to Cyrillic graphics. The…

Stop and Wait (SW) ARQ, Go Back N (GBN) ARQ, and Selective Repeat (SR) ARQ are the main ARQ (Automatic-Repeat-reQuest) protocols used to ensure reliable delivery of digital data at correct sequence. These protocols are implemented at the DLC (Data Link Control) sub layer of Data Link Layer (DLL) of OSI (Open System Interconnection) network…

Dynamic modeling has been a crucial study in many areas of the engineering field. In this paper, we apply the Newton-Euler equation of motion to a two-DOF parallel mechanism solar tracker which is a close loop mechanism. The aim of this study is to show a simulation of the dynamical model with feedback control using…

The functional priority of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) is to ensure a timely transference of health data. Because of the frequency at which health records are transferred and the variety of health data HIEs receive, there are major challenges in efficiently accomplishing this. Cloud technology has become a generally accepted solution to remediate data transference…

Increased recycling of PVC has become a requirement in industrial and scientific research level. Several studies will be realized. To confirm and check the recycled materials performance, it will be important to go through numerical modeling, which consists not only in validating the results of the experiments, but also in predicting what happens when the…
