In this paper, hexa spacer damper is proposed and its vibration damping effect on the 765 kV power transmission network under the influence of fluctuating wind (10-60 Hz) loading is validated. This asymmetrical loadings led the bundle of Zebra ACSR conductor to be twisted and hence, cause mechanical and electrical instabilities across the span length.…

Since its release in 2013, 4.4 billion people around the world have used Kahoot!. Various topics with multiple languages have been made so that there are at least 200 billion games. A very high number for an educational application. Why Kahoot! So interesting? This study aims to analyze the gamification elements found in Kahoot! as…

In this paper, one of the “problem zones” in mathematics concerned with the surface area of three-dimensional bodies is presented by computer and mathematical modeling with synergetic effects using intelligent system support. The problems of personal self-organization and technological stages of student’s research activity in the process of modern achievements in science adaptation in teaching…

In the Global sphere, the social, environmental, and economic pillars are the main contributors and accelerators to the sustainable development goals. As a result, the latter creates a platform for interdisciplinary researchers, society and decision-makers to collaborate in formulating ways to minimize factors contributing to environmental concerns. Energy is currently referred to as one of…

There are pressures to adopt sustainable behaviour more so in generating profits and benefiting the society to accelerate green efforts through a green framework. The overarching goal of the paper is premised through various works of literature, building the ecosystem the elements highlighted by most researchers in the field of environmental entrepreneurship. The various models…

Rescuers escorted search dogs into the disaster area, using their unique sense of smell to find the injured. First, researchers summarize the design requirements in the search process from interviews with rescuers, and construct a conceptual prototype to confirm the interaction mode between the user and the dog. User central design invited people melt into…

Data aggregation, gathering and gossiping are all vital communication tasks in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). When all networking devices are always active, scheduling algorithms for these communication tasks have been extensively investigated under both the protocol and physical interference models. However, wireless devices usually switch between the sleep state and the active state for the…

Sales behavior and the technical development of products influence their fabrication. As market influences become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, factories will have to adapt their manufacturing to market trends even more in the future. Adaptation is referred to as convertibility and can be achieved, among other things, by mobile and intercompatible machines. Enabling machines to…

Solar energy becomes widely used in the global power grid. Therefore, enhancing the accuracy of solar energy predictions is essential for the efficient planning, managing and operating of power systems. To minimize the negatives impacts of photovoltaics on electricity and energy systems, an approach to highly accurate and advanced forecasting is urgently needed. In this…

Internet Protocol version 6 is being adopted on slow pace and it is taking a long time. This paper intends to discuss the transition process between IPv4 and IPv6 and the major obstacles that prevent deploying IPv6 worldwide. It presents the IPv4 exhaustion reports results and where are the IPv4 address pool. Then it presents…

“This paper is an extension of work originally presented in the 4th International Conference on Systems of Collaboration, Big Data, Internet of Things & Security -SysCoBIoTS’19”. The use of complex and dynamic systems modelling to social systems is quite recent and its pertinence in the case of an educational system is continually increasing. For the…

This research designed an image encryption system that focused on securing teledermatology data in the form of skin disease images. The encryption and decryption process of this system is done on the client side using chaos-based encryption with confusion and diffusion techniques. Arnold’s cat map is the chaotic map model used for confusion, while the…

The development of wind farms requires an optimal design of wind turbines layout. The main goal of this optimization is to minimize the wake effect through the optimal placement of the wind turbines. The current study aims to standardize the wake losses among all wind turbines in the wind farm and bringing their losses to…

This paper has conducted the study of the impact and effectiveness of Google Classroom in online teaching and learning. Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2), the first aim was to rank the 8 constructs namely: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, Habit, Behavioral Intention, and…

The problem of Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) DC-DC converter simulation is faced in this paper. It is shown how the analysis of this kind of circuits, nonlinear and switching for their nature, can be easily and quickly executed by using symbolic analysis techniques. The paper also presents the program SapWinPE, which performs an automatic symbolic…

The purpose of the study was to describe the experiences of teachers in the distance teaching-learning process in early childhood education during the covid-19 pandemic. The methodology used was qualitative descriptive. Interviews were conducted with thirteen teachers from four state educational institutions at the infant level in Lima city through the virtual platform. As a…

To create a Virtual Reality (VR) system for Wing Chun’s basic hand movement training, capturing, and classifying movement data is an important step. The main goal of this paper is to find the best possible method of classifying hand movement, particularly Wing Chun’s basic hand movements, to be used in the VR training system. This…

Indoor positioning system (IPS) has become a high demand research field to be developed and has made considerable progress in recent years. Wi-Fi fingerprinting is the most promising technique that produces an acceptable result. However, despite the large amount of research that has been done using Wi-Fi fingerprinting, only a few Wi-Fi based IPS in…

Enrolment figures have been expanding in South African institutions of higher-learning, however, the expansion has not been accompanied by a proportional increase in the percent- age of enrolled learners completing their degrees. In a recent undergraduate-cohort-studies report, the DHET highlight the low percentage of students completing their degrees in the allotted time, having remained between…

This paper presents a simple method for correcting the error of commutation windings for sensorless control of a brushless DC motor with a small inductance. Switching error analysis is performed based on the phase currents of the switched-off and switched-on phases. To correct the commutatiuon signals for the inverter, a speed-independent function is used, calculated…

The Blockchain technologies enable decentralized networking consisting of large number of nodes. To determine the shared states and failures of all nodes in a fully distributed peer-to-peer system, the appropriate consensus algorithm needs to be selected for each Internet of Things system. In this paper, a novel hierarchical voting-based byzantine fault tolerance (HBFT) consensus algorithm…

The widespread team project method is more effective when used in conjunction with heuristic methods. The large number of heuristic methods and the variety of their descriptions create a problem to prepare students for the use of these methods. A method based on two areas of knowledge – heuristics and psychology – is proposed. The…
