Gate driver has been applied in many ways, exemplified by that, by using the DC-isolated and AC-pass characteristics of gate driver’s primary and secondary sides, the problem of floating endpoint in semiconductor power switch can be solved. However, the conventional design of isolated gate driver provides circuit voltage blocking by optically coupled components. Due to…

In the automation of the fish processing industry, the measurement surface-area and volume of the fish requires a method that focuses on processing automation. The creation of a stereo-vision based on real-time measurement method is one of the most essential aspects of this work. To do this task, we completed two steps. The first, the…

Real-world applications modelled by time-dependent dynamical systems with specific properties such as long-range dependence or self-similarity are usually described by fractional Brownian motion. The investigation of the qualitative behaviour of its realisations is an important topic. For this purpose, efficient mappings from realisations of the dynamical system, i.e., time series, to a set of scalar-valued…

Affective states, a dimension of attitude, have a critical role in the learning process. In the educational setting, affective states are commonly captured by self-report tools or based on sentiment analysis on asynchronous textual chats, discussions, or students’ journals. Drawbacks of such tools include: distracting the learning process, demanding time and commitment from students to…

In this work, the impact of implementing a large amount of decentralized renewable energy sources (RES) of different scales on an extra-large power grid is investigated. Three scenarios are created, substituting 10%, 20%, and 30% of the conventional energy production by RES. For this purpose, the initial dynamic model of Continental Europe in combination with…

With increases in technological usage, cyber incidents are also on the rise and have become a major concern in schools across the globe. What is of significant concern is that cyber incidents in South African schools are also on the rise. Existing evidence suggests that, in South Africa there are no clear procedures that are…

Presently, individuals generate tremendous volumes of information on the internet. As a result, sentiment analysis is a critical tool for automating a deep understanding of user-generated information. Of late, deep learning algorithms have shown endless promises for a variety of sentiment analysis. The purpose of sentiment analysis is to categorize different descriptions as good, bad,…

With the advent of Big Data, we are witnessing a rapid and varied production of huge amounts of sequential data that can have multiple dimensions, we speak of data streams. The characteristics of these data streams make their processing and storage very difficult and at the same time reduce the possibilities of querying them a…

Quantum logic gates represent certain quantum operations to perform quantum computations. Of those quantum gates, there is a category of classical behavior gates called quantum permutation gates. As a quantum algorithm, quantum permutation pad or QPP consists of multiple quantum permutation gates to be implemented both in a quantum computing system as a quantum circuit…

Technical safety and health are especially important for mining-extracting industry. Even though the respective lows and good engineering practices exist, technologies develop and could address even better security for humans and equipment. The research question is to survey microclimate sensors in underground mining and to find whether they are ready for automation. The article is…

In devices using Windows operating system based on x86 system, the real-time performance is not guaranteed by Windows. It is because Windows is not a real-time operating system. Users who develop applications in such a Windows environment generally use commercial solutions such as the RTX or the INtime to provide real-time performance to the system.…

The intention of this research is to study and design an automated agriculture commodity price prediction system with novel machine learning techniques. Due to the increasing large amounts historical data of agricultural commodity prices and the need of performing accurate prediction of price fluctuations, the solution has largely shifted from statistical methods to machine learning…

Serious games (SGs) are interactive and entertaining digital games with a special educational purpose. Studies have shown that SGs are effective in enhancing educational skills. Cognitive skills training through serious games have been used in improving students learning outcomes. In this article, we introduce the ‘plants kingdom’ serious game for improving adolescents’ cognitive skills, mainly…

Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology that is used to monitor points or objects of interest in an area. Despite its many applications, this kind of network is often limited by the fact that it is difficult to provide energy to the nodes continuously, forcing the use of batteries, which restricts its operations. Network…

The energy states, transitions chances, oscillator intensities, and collision intensities were computed with FAC (fully relativistic flexible atomic code) program. The calculated results were utilized for identification of the reduced population to sixty-nine thin structural states in C-like Zn (XXV) and indicates the gain coefficients with several electron densities (from 10+20 to 10+22 cm3) and…

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a key technology for preventing an ongoing global coronavirus epidemic. Due to the limited corpus database and the morphological diversity of the Thai language, Thai speech recognition is still difficult. In this research, the automatic speech recognition model was built differently from the traditional Thai NLP systems by using…

Survivability of systems is a very important system property and consists major concern for organizations and companies. Survivable systems should maintain their critical services functional in a timely manner. There are several approaches, proposed in the literature, on how to develop survivable telecommunication systems, but the majority is based on node outages or path failures,…

Estimation of optimal Air or oxygen is important for the combustion process to be efficient and produce more energy. This is to be based on each component of the fuel and the air, considering their respective pressure and density.

Humans have experienced motion sickness and possessed the knowledge of stereopsis since classical antiquity. Knowledge of stereopsis dates back to approximately 300 B.C., when Euclid first recognized the concept of depth perception in human vision. Further, the motion sickness is including a sensation of wooziness and nausea that has been documented since approximately 400 B.C.,…

Transformers are habitually designed and manufactured for operation at a fundamental frequency of 50Hz and sinusoidal load current. Transformers are susceptible to non-linear loads. The inception of switching action characterises Non-linear loads and consequently nonsinusoidal load current which brings about higher transformer service losses, hotspot temperature rise, and degradation of cellulosic and liquid insulation, and…
