Modern power systems are topologically and structurally complicated due to their complex interconnections. Consequently, the complexity of the dynamic stability assessment be-comes more tedious, most especially, when considering a power electronics-based power system operating under faulty conditions. This paper, therefore suggests an alternative approach of Network Structural-Based Technique (NSBT) for the analysis and enhancement of…

Many countries all over the world are promoting the recycled aggregate concrete for its advantage to solve the problem of shortage of natural resources in aggregates as well as promoting the recycling of waste and the reuse of materials. Recycled aggregate concrete replaces natural concrete with various rates of restitution of natural aggregates into recycled…

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…

The purpose of this study is to show how to design the character used as the symbol or Mascot of the educational institution and how to apply the design results into advertising and Brand identity design such as printing art, poster, digital media, toy, and souvenir. In this study, the ideas of mascot design have…

Nowadays, robots are an important learning tool in education and are increasingly used inside and outside the classroom to foster the development of students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes connecting to a real-world situation. In past years, using robots in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education has been proposed as one of the strategies to…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…

The Internet of Things (IoT) application has been experiencing increasingly progressive demand, especially for embedded devices (ED). However, the ED has limited capabilities, low power consumption resources, and low bandwidth in connecting to the Internet by using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the WSNs form creates a necessity for new technologies and protocols for the…

Cyberattacks such as spear phishing and malspam pretending to be companies, institutes, and government officials are increasing and evolving. Malware has a variety of purposes, such as collecting personal information and illegal access to the system. New types of malware are increasing every day, and many malware programs spread all over the Internet, causing severe…

According to IEC 61805 and ISO 26262 standards requirement inclusion of LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) became mandatory to achieve safety critical application such as automotive field. In such systems, once device is switched ON LBIST (Logic Built in Self-Test) is activated and testing of digital logic is performed. After safety subsystem says that the…

Dynamic positioning, a system to maintain vessel position and heading, is a technology that is used in many vessels and being intensively used as research topic in marine engineering. In order to make this system work properly, an accurate parameters value is needed. This research focuses on finding several parameters needed in this control system,…

It is well documented that the average length of the queries submitted to Web search engines is rather short, which negatively impacts the engines’ performance, as measured by the precision metric. It is also well known that ambiguous keywords in a query make it hard to identify what exactly search engine users are looking for.…

Reconfigurable systems are considered as promising technology that enables the design of more flexible and dynamic applications. However, actually existent design flows are either low-level (so complex) or they lack support for automatic synthesis. In this paper, we present an ontology-based modeling approach for reconfigurable systems. Our approach is based on model-driven engineering process and…

A modern process plant is controlled, operated and safeguarded by the sophisticated distributed control system or a programmable logic controller and an emergency shutdown system. This process plant’s operation could be seriously affected by lightning, electrical switching, and power outrage. Lightning propagation can travel kilometers away, which has the risk of disturbing the control system’s…

The fight against poverty in the Peruvian Andes is a complex task in which various professionals, such as engineers, economists, anthropologists, among others, participate. The uncertainty of the decisions taken today, no matter how appropriate they may seem, such as million-dollar investments in irrigation infrastructure, can result in over-production and, therefore, in economic recessions. For…

Text classification is considered one of the most fundamental and essential problems that deal with automatically classifying textual resources into pre-defined categories. Numerous algorithms, datasets, and evaluation measurements have been proposed to address the task. Within the era of information redundancy, it is challenging and time-consuming to engineering a sizable amount of data in multi-languages…

In recent decades, the challenge of managing the development teams spread across different time zones has become increasingly common, raising the importance of the development of Global Software Development (GSD) techniques, in order to tackle its particular problems. This work discuss these issues in the context of Sidia, an R&D institute which implements technological solutions…

Learning styles studies have been discussed widely in academic field. It can be considered as a factor that contributes to the achievement of the students in their learning because everyone has a unique learning style when learning. In this paper, we aimed to examine the association of learning styles and attitude towards academic achievement. By…

The adoption of Engine-in-the-loop technology shows real behaviour. This study presents a test runs simulation platform with real engine data. In addition, a test bench model is a demand approach that offers a significant potential to provide an excellent reproducibility of test runs. The platform includes the data integration to upgrade tests run and a…

The purpose of this research is to study the relevance of factors for the analysis of the effectiveness of suitable educational institutions that illustrate the significance of the characteristics and attributes of the student’s academic achievements and to identify the acceptance and tolerance of each attribute, which supports lifelong learning. The data used in this…
