The power market in China is faced with problems such as the continuous widening of terminal load peak-valley difference and the imbalance between supply and demand. Under this background, this paper to establish the mathematical model of the contract price of active demand response. The first is to consider the load component of the user’s…

This paper reports on an empirical study (an extension of a pilot study) that analyses the design of icons in a German 3-D virtual art gallery interface. It evaluates the extent to which a sample of typical computer users from a range of ages, educational attainments and employments can interpret the meaning of icons from…

Due to their efficient flight control systems and their camera of high quality modern drones can fly precisely and take aerial photos of high resolution. Although these multi-rotor devices are not able to fly long distances yet, they are very efficient instruments for taking aerial photographs of their proximate environment. As they are able to…

In densely located loosely coupled wireless charger environments, cross-connection errors can occur when wireless chargers operate at the same time within the same wireless communication range. In this work, an effective algorithm is proposed to prevent cross-connection error. The algorithm based on the cross-connection abatement technique with the received signal strength indicator of out-band BLE…

This article presents the design and realization of decoder mobile for distress beacon 406 MHz. The use of the sparse Fourier transforms in the processing of distress beacon signals. The characteristics of these decoders are mobility, able to decode all the frequencies of the beacons. It locates with great precision the location of the emitting…

Almost every cells in human’s body contain the same number of genes so what makes them different is which genes are expressed at any time. Measuring gene expression can be done by measuring the amount of mRNA molecules. However, it is a very expensive and time consuming task. Using computational methods can help biologists to…

With the introduction of new services and new more sophisticated mobile devices the radio network operators are faced with new challanges to increase the system performance. The most recent standards introduced by 3GPP for the new architectures of the Long Term Evolution network address these issues and outline possibilities for optimizing network performance and user…

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women in low to middle income group countries (LMIC). Various methods for screening cervical cancer are practiced, such as the Conventional Pap Smear (CPS), Liquid Based Cytology with its ancillary techniques like Cell Block with immunocytochemistry. VIA is another method which is being advocated as a…

In this age of smart devices, many people are carrying a smartphone with them all the time. When they are at home, most of them are connected with the home Wi-Fi network. In this paper, a Wi-Fi network based architecture is proposed to control home appliances using a smartphone and also with a touchscreen-based wall…

A mobile retail app is a growing innovation in a retailing setting and there is an argument on the prominent status of a mobile application in contrast with a mobile website and web applications. The study used quantitative data to run multiple regression analysis with keen attention to linear regression assumption and compare four models…

This is a comparative study on the behavior of a dual medium height building with different walls solutions, in a high seismic area (Bucharest, Romania). The main feature of those buildings is the placement of load bearing walls on the perimeter of the building. This is done to limit the lateral displacement when the structure…

The paper shows the influence of nonbearing masonry walls for medium rise framed buildings placed at higher stories but not at the ground floor. The building studied here is a hotel that will be built in Bucharest, Romania. This is a high seismic area according to the seismic codes in force. The structure is composed…

The drive for this report is to inaugurate the innumerable techniques espoused by the refactoring tools in coding development. The software product is a very complex and time-consuming process of development. Difficulty understanding and maintaining poorly designed software systems Software maintenance can take up to 50% of total development costs for software production. As a…

This paper showed visualization of technics about cardiopulmonary resuscitation contributed to acquiring the skills and understanding them. Especially, this system is focused on the individuality in each object (men, women, and babies) There are problems of a general cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training because learners are generally taught by instruction based on a subjective judgment. Because…

This was a study on the behavior of a confined masonry bearing wall in a medium height dual building. This wall had to be placed at one corner of the building. It had to be a masonry wall, not to be too stiff and drag the rigidity center too far from the building’s center. The…

This is a study on a confined masonry slender walls building in a high seismic area. The structure also contains frames, but the walls bear most of the gravity and seismic loads. The building will be used as a school. It will be built in Bucharest, Romania. It contains a ground floor and 2 stories…

This is a study on non-bearing masonry walls, in a high, reinforced concrete walls building. It will be built in Bucharest, Romania. This is a high seismic area. The building will be used as a dwelling. The structure is composed of a ground floor and 10 stories above. It is interesting to see the interaction…

Exploring the ocean underneath has always been an area of great scientific and environmental concern. However, the study of underwater environment was very difficult due to the extreme conditions. Undersea descriptions undergo severe distortion attributed to absorptive as well as scattering properties. Absorption substantially removes illumination, whereas a ray of light redirected in several path…

Power consumption is becoming more and more important in the Internet of Things (IOT). The ADC is the main power hungry in multi-sensor electronic systems and effectively reducing ADC power consumption without affecting ADC characteristics is an important. This paper is extended from the conference paper. The segmented SAR ADC presents reconfigurable 9 to 12-bit…

This study presented a prototype augmented reality (AR) application that helps visualize the affordances of everyday objects for infants in their home environments to prevent accidents and promote development. To detect and visualize affordances, we observed 16 infants regarding how they perceive and handle common objects from 4 to 12 months of age in their…

There are high expectations for commercial cloud services as an economical computation resource when executing scientific computing workflows, for which the computation is increasing on a daily basis. However, no method has been developed for determining whether a scientific computing workflow can be executed at a low usage cost, and thus scientists have difficulty in…

Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack), a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the major killers worldwide. Around one thousand data has been collected from AMI patients, people are at risk of maybe a heart attack and individuals with the significant features closely related to heart attack. The sophistication in mobile technology, health care applications…

This article discusses IoT security in situations whereby devices do not share the same security domains, which raises security, privacy and safety concerns.
