In the last year, especially in Europe, the expression “digital sovereignty” has been used very frequently to describe, above all, the primacy of a State. Indeed, the “digital sovereignty” is a complex concept, which entails cross-reference with several sectors and contexts. We believe that the concept of “digital sovereignty” can be two sides of a…

This paper investigates the trajectory tracking control (TTC) problem of a networked control system (NCS) against a replay-attack. The impact of data packet dropout and communication delay on the wireless network are taken into account. A new mathematical representation of the NCS under network issues (packet dropout, delay, and replay-attack) is proposed, the resulting closed-loop…

Visible light communication (VLC) that simultaneously gives illumination and information transmission abilities, is recognized as a hopeful competitor for prospective wireless net- works. Furthermore, a channel adaptive collaborative constellation (CASCC) with the capacity of adapting according to the channel condition to enhance the bit error rate (BER) while concurrently improving the versatility of the receiver…

Among the most popular tools in security field is the anomaly based Intrusion Detection System (IDS), it detects intrusions by learning to classify the normal activities of the network. Thus if any abnormal activity or behaviour is recognized it raises an alarm to inform the users of a given network. Nevertheless, IDS is generally susceptible…

The emerging trend of modern industry automation requires intelligence to be embedded into mobile robot for ensuring optimal or near-optimal solutions to execute certain task. This yield to a lot of improvement and suggestions in many areas related to mobile robot such as path planning. The purpose of this paper is to review the mobile…

With the current amount of data nowadays, the need for processing power has vastly grown. By relying on CPU processing power, current processing power is depending on the frequency and parallelism of the current CPU device. This means this method will lead to increased power consumption. Current research has shown that by utilize the power…

This paper presents a solution that automates Abaca fiber grading which would help the time-consuming baling of Abaca fiber produce. The study introduces an objective instrument paired with a system to automate the grade classification of Abaca fiber using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this study, 140 sample images of abaca fibers were used, which…

In this paper, we are proposing a device that generates vibration to possibly reduce the duration required for the orthodontic treatment by enhancing the tooth movement. This is achieved by harmonically exciting a bio-compatible material, namely polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to generate vibration and consequently a cyclic force at a low frequency of 30 Hz. (PVDF)…

The increasing cost of fishmeal and soybean meal forces us to look for unconventional sources of protein to feed guinea pigs, being able to use earthworm meal Eisenia foetida (EF) with 60-80% high quality raw protein; for this, the contribution of digestible nutrients and metabolizable energy must be known to formulate rations. The objective is…

Blockchain is a new generation technology that allows the central control mechanism or trusted authority to be removed, spreading the encrypted data across all participants in the network in a distributed database structure instead of central trust. The Smart Contract structure, which defines the rules and flow that allow the things we value to operate…

This research makes the improvement of the errors surrounding edges and corners of thin electromagnetic regions by means of the magnetic field finite element formulation. Classical thin shell electromagnetic models are usually replaced by impedance-type interface conditions throughout surfaces that ignore errors in the calculation of the local fields (magnetic vector potentials, magnetic fields, eddy…

Analytical researches on a potential performance of multipath multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems inspire the development of new technologies that decompose a MIMO channel into independent sub-channels on the condition of constrained transmit power. Moreover, in current studies of inter-symbol interference (ISI) MIMO systems, there is an assumption that channel state information (CSI) at receivers and/or…

Vegetable oils are often proved to be promising for industrial lubrication applications among which soybean oil found to be better due to its attractive and desirable thermo physical properties for machining compared to other vegetable oils. However, already it was established that influenced desirable thermophysical properties necessary for a vegetable oil through which better machining…

Most buildings are equipped with various types of sensors to detect smoke in the event of a fire, though most are located internally. Practically, smoke has to reach the sensor in order for the sensor to react. The limitations of these sensors are their inability to respond in the early stages of a fire, and…
