The digital factory is a concept signing a new era for industry, the so-called Industry 4.0, in which ordinary production systems like manufacturing plants, machineries and utilities are being equipped with diagnostic and sensitive instrumentation to be connected to digital shared networks. This data-sharing, trough the big data management techniques, is a fully integrated base…

In Peru, large volumes of chicken manure are produced, whose compost applied at normal levels improves the ryegrass yield and protein intake, to obtain organic products and contribute to animal, environmental and human health. To evaluate the biofortifying effect of Chicken Manure Compost (CMC) incorporated in (T1): 0, (T2): 10 and (T3): 20 t ha-1…

Obstacles, both imagined and real, continue to hinder the wider adoption of Education 4.0 learning technologies although these technologies are available in the mainstream consumer market. At the same time, the boom in Industry 4.0 manufacturing has brought down the prices of these technological tools making them generally more affordable. A case in point is…

Web services give a new view of the web as the biggest, widely accepted and the most straightforward distributed software platform. Their composition into applications and business processes is still a complex, non-trivial task, requiring highly rational efforts not only from the software developers, but from the quality assurance specialists. The provision if web service…

The technological advance as well as needs of human beings made that systems became more and more complex. In contrast, the use and creation of new modelling languages became simple and no more reserved for a handful of language experts. Consequently, many new practices of systems implementation emerged, among them, the use of different domain…

The IEEE802.11n based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have been extensively deployed due to the flexible coverage, the easy installation, and the lower cost. To reduce the energy consumption while increasing the performance, the elastic WLAN system has been studied, such that it can dynamically change the network configuration according to traffic demands. As well,…

In Big Data, several solution providers offer distributions to handle this large amount of data. Given the variety of these solutions, we are working to provide universal meta-modeling for all layers of a Big Data system in order to address the issue of interoperability and portability between these solutions. As part of our continuous efforts…

Health Information Technology is playing a key role in healthcare. Specifically, the use of electronic health records has been found to bring about most significant improvements in healthcare quality, mainly as relates to patient management, healthcare delivery and research support. Health record systems adoption has been promoted in many countries to support efficient, high quality…

The problem of planning and location of loading/unloading (L/U) areas attracting interest from several researchers. This is mainly because of the heterogeneity of information and the great complexity of logistics flows. Among the projects of the urban logistics in Morocco, the L/U areas represent an essential importance in the deliveries to the centers of the…

Manufacturing System (MS) sizing is a crucial task to complete in order to obtain the desired MS performance and efficiency. It involves selecting the required number of resources from each used type in a given planning horizon. In fact, different approaches coupling simulation/optimization tools have been developed to solve this issue and evaluate the MS…

In Latin America, there is a need for better security systems in different national or sectional votes, which is why this study was carried out, to show a proposal for a security model that helps to obtain better results and to this purpose has been selected information on the database for different Latin American countries,…

Recently, communication demands often change because of the various network services in companies and individuals. Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a viable control paradigm that allows flexible communication, using OpenFlow as its default standard and enabler. However, when changes happen frequently in SDN networks due to unforeseen reasons -such as a network failure…

In previous study, it is difficult to estimate the biological states such as postural ones and aetas in accordance with the previous analysis of electrogastrograms (EGGs), basically the frequency resolution of healthy individuals. In addition, few studies have compared gastric myoelectrical activity in supine and sitting posture. The aim of this study is to evaluate…

Ledger technology has now changed financial systems around the world, applying this technology to the improvement of the public sector, mainly to the debt collection system, we improve the speed of payment and its immediate registration, we make use of the advantages of Ledger technology with respect to reliability, security and speed. The objective is…

This article investigates different versions of a new multi-band micro-strip antenna design. NASA inspired the antenna design from “Hand of God” galaxy discovery. A multi-band operation between 0.15 and 8 [GHz] is obtained and captures up to 10 frequency bands. The antenna has a small area of 4 x 5 cm2 and is printed on…

Many robots have been proposed for smart applications in recent years However, while these robots have good ability to move between fixed points separated by short distances, they perform less well when required to navigate complex interior spaces with an irregular layout and multiple obstacles due to their relatively crude positioning and path control capabilities.…

The task of fuzzy mathematical modeling of the composition of a polymer composition is singled out and formulated, as one of the types of chemical-technological systems for creating the theoretical foundations for managing the physicochemical properties of the material produced from this composition. Fuzzy data on the technical functions and concentration of individual ingredients that…

This study proposes robot-assisted posture emulation for visually impaired children. The motor of a small robot (low torque) can be controlled using our palms. A user does not risk injury when the robotic hand is directly touched. The dimensions of the body of a commercially available small robot are different from those of a person.…

This work extends the development of the nonuniform Parallel Digital Ramp Pulse Position Modulation Analog-to-Digital Converter (PDRADC) architecture. The continuous to discrete transform of the PDRADC is achieved by partitioning the signal amplitude axis into P nonoverlapping partitions that sample the analog input at input signal driven instances. Each partition contains L uniform levels with…

Big data can be considered to be at the forefront of the present and future research activities. The volume of data needing to be processed is growing dramatically in both velocity and variety. In response, many big data technologies have emerged to tackle the challenges of collecting, processing and storing such large-scale datasets. High-performance computing…

Domain specific modeling (DSM) has become popular in the software development field during these last years. It allows to design an application using a domain specific modeling language (DSML) and to generate an end-solution software product directly from models. However providing a new DSML is a complex and costly job. This can be reduced by…

Language skill is a rule-like operation, based on generalized connections. The main property of language skills is awareness. They are formed with conscious mastery of the language means of communication (phonetic, lexical and grammatical). Language acquisition is a complex process which includes a large number of different parameters. Therefore, the study and improvement of language…
