Industry 4.0 implementation stipulates effective actuator control. In the present work, a complex order PIa+jb Dc+jd (COPID) controller was designed for a fractional order model of a direct current (DC) motor system. For comparisons, the DC motor system model was also controlled using the conventional proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID), proportional resonant (PR) and fractional…

Quality of service is a significant part of formulating a composing of web services to satisfy the user’s request, especially when several services exist and have been implemented in the same field and functionality. The selection process of web services among many options can be taken based on the quality of service considerations, fitness parameters,…

Biodiesel was produced from lard using a CaO catalyst derived from eggshells. The effects of catalyst loading and transesterification reaction time were investigated. The results revealed that the increase in yield of biodiesel occurred at all catalyst loading when the reaction time was increased. The optimal reaction time was obtained at 60 minutes. The results…

Effective Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) Extraction provides medical workers with precise knowledge for monitoring fetal health condition during gestational age. However, Fetal ECG Extraction still remains a challenge as the signal is weak and contaminated with noises of different kinds, more significantly maternal ECG. In this work, a new Moth Flame optimization algorithm (MFO)-based adaptive filter…

This paper aims to measure the acceptance level of Indonesian customers to JD.ID X retail and to reveal the driving factors of behavioral intention to shop at the retail. JD.ID X is new retail that implements a new shopping technology called Just walk-out technology (JWOT) also known as retail without a cashier. JWOT is one…

This paper is an extension of previous research that has been done on factors affecting digital payment adoption in the UAE. This study focuses on analyzing which relevant demographic factors affect new e-payment technologies, mainly in the smart city Dubai, with more complexities and dynamics of variables that affect users’ behavior toward adopting new technologies.…

The optimum performance of power plants has major technical and economic benefits. A case study in one of the Malaysian power plants reveals an escalating harmonic failure trend in their Continuous Ship Unloader (CSU) machines. This has led to a harmonic filter failure causing performance loss leading to costly interventions and safety concerns. Analysis of…

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is considered a relevant health risk for the workers of the maritime and port sectors, but scant data are available on actual exposure measured using personal dosimeters. Moreover, in outdoor workers sun protection habits are usually poor, while some promising data suggest that sun-safety campaigns can be effective in increasing self-protection…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) technology is expected to provide many benefits for the society such as providing safe transportation to the community and reducing the number of accidents on the roads. With the emergence of AVs, the conventional safety infrastructure in which humans drive their vehicles will need to be upgraded in order to take full…

Motivation significantly influences the outcome in the rehabilitation of patients. Several developments have been made to assess and increase patient motivation by addressing factors linked to motivation such as the personality of the patient, professional administering rehabilitation, and the rehabilitation environment. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the reliability of a gamified…

The use of heuristic methods in teaching is not possible without the cooperation of all or part of the students’ academic group. That is, the teacher who made the decision to apply the heuristic method de facto solves the issues of organizing project method in teaching. There are a large number of indications on the…

The objective of this article is to determine if the self-perception of professional competences has been affected, in systems engineering students, during the health emergency declared in Peru by Covid-19; The results will allow the public university of Peru to make corrective decisions and formulate proposals to improve the functioning of the variable under study.…

The current concept of open innovation corresponds to the R&D products transfer model – “role changes”. One of the fundamental provisions of the model is that R&D products are considered for commercialization not only at the final stage of technological readiness, but at any of them. In today’s changing market environment, special attention is paid…

Harmful algal blooms (HAB) or “Red tides” are organisms which produce toxins which are harmful to humans, fish, and other marine mammals. The said toxins come from dinoflagellates of genus Pyrodinium Bahamense var Compressum that cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) and Dinophysis Caudata and Prorocentrum lima which results to Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP). In the…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

The Coriolis force in the ocean at mid to high latitudes can cause significant deviation of flow over bottom topography, including formation of Taylor columns. Structures in a tidal zone will experience zero inertial current between every tidal change. Around periods of directional change, the Coriolis force may be tapped into for energy. Factors like…

Cardiovascular diseases are the group of conditions produced in the heart or blood vessels. This is one of the main causes of death in Peru and the world, produced mostly by non-communicable diseases and harmful habits, which makes it an extremely predictable disease. These factors include body mass index, smoking, diabetes, age, blood pressure, total…

The textile industry is one of the prioritized industries, because it contributes to the country’s foreign exchange, absorbs a large number of workers, and fulfills the need for national clothing. To increase work efficiency and productivity, the textile industry must use ERP. However, ERP implementation still has a relatively high failure rate. ERP readiness assessment…

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…

A healthy watershed is important not only for the ecosystem but also for human socioeconomic activities. Therefore, a compatible assessment model is required to recognize watershed health. In Indonesia, the watershed health assessment is directed by the Ministry of Forestry regulation number 60/2014. A critic might be posed to this directive for not including the…
