In this study, a control system of a feedback device of temperature sensation for myoelectric prosthetic hand users was improved. The device is mounted on a user’s upper arm in contact with the skin, and transfers the temperature sensation in the upper arm corresponding to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor at the fingertip…

This paper presents a Release Management model to support requirements management. Requirements development and management can be integrated with a release-planning approach to achieve lesser Requirements spillover problems which is an innovative way to capture, control and evolve the user requirements based on integer linear programming.

Frequency diverse array (FDA) antenna employs a small frequency increment, as compared with the carrier frequency, across antenna array elements. The use of a frequency increment generates an array factor that is dependent on angle, time, and the range and this yields a range and angle dependent beampattern. In this paper, a transmit array beamforming…

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

In this paper, we evaluate a list of classifiers in order to use them in the detection of vandalism by focusing on metadata features. Our work is focused on two low resource data sets (Simple English and Albanian) from Wikipedia. The aim of this research is to prove that this form of vandalism detection applied…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) employs a small frequency increment across its array elements to provide range, angle and time dependent beampattern. In most radar systems, FDA with linear frequency offsets have been employed. But, its transmit beampattern is coupled in range and angle dimensions, which may degrade the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio performance. Note that nonlinear…

The aim of this paper is to continue our study of information in the setting of Pseudo-Analysis. We shall present, by axiomatic way, the definition of measures of general conditional information and we shall study particular measure by using a system of functional equations in which it is present a pseudo-operation. We know that J.Aczel…

The World Health Organization (WHO) report on the circumstances of clinical facilities in developing countries indicates that, there is considerable efficient delivery of medical services to the rural inhabitants where the services are available, these services are very expensive and not affordable to the average citizen. This has risen inadequacies such as prolonged suffering and…

In many semi-arid countries in the world like Libya, drinking water supply is dependent on reservoirs water storage. Since the evaporation rate is very high in semi-arid countries, estimates and forecasts of reservoir evaporation rate can be useful in the management of major water source. Many researchers have been investigating the suitability of estimates evaporation…

Purpose: To conduct preliminary research for developing a program to enhance resilience, a topic that has generated attention of late. Methods: We compared the Structured Association Technique (SAT) resilience program and an exercise program. The citizen’s lecture on stress management occurred 1 month after East Japan Earthquake, and the intervention was carried out in the afternoon of…

Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic in the Europe Union (EU). In the year of 2015 the EU established an Alliance of Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) and this alliance included the IoT European Research Cluster (IERC) on the Internet of Things in the work group 01. IERC was established in 2007 and…

This manuscript presents a prototype and design implementation of an advance home automation system that uses Wi-Fi technology as a network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system consists of two main components; the first part is the server, which presents system core that manages and controls user’s home. Users and system administrator can locally…

Lip movements have long been the subject of research. There are many methods of lip movement recognition, such as the calculation of the amount of movement compared to a matching face pattern. In a previous study, we investigated utterance recognition based on the power spectrum by focusing on lip movements, which is one aspect of…

This paper extends some of our research results disseminated in the most recent awarded international conference paper concerning the implementation in real time of a sliding mode observer state estimator. For the same case study developed in the conference paper, more precisely a DC servomotor angular speed control system, we extend the proposed concept of…

High Frequency Signal Injection based techniques are robust and well proven to estimate the rotor position from stand still to low speed. However, Injected high frequency signal introduces, high frequency harmonics in the motor phase currents and results in significant Output Torque ripple. There is no detailed analysis exist in the literature, to study the…

We explore the dependency of MIMO performance on azimuthal spread (AS) and elevation spread (ES) using correlated-based stochastic models (CBSMs). We represent the transmitter as uniform rectangular array (URA), and derive an analytical function for spatial correlation, in terms of maximum power when phase gradient of the incident wave follows a Student’s t-distribution. We model…

Technology has become more affordable and penetrates every aspect of daily life, even in developing country like Nigeria. However many of the users in developing countries are still finding difficulty in using the technologies due to lack of experience as they undergo a technology leap. The aim of this research work explores the approach in…

The exchange of electronic medical records can reduce the preservation and the use of papers of medical records for management issues. The sharing of electronic medical records has been effective in Taiwan. Now days, enterprises are sharing their electronic medical records through the Exchange Center of EMR under the Virtual Private Network but slightly less…

In learning environment, portfolio is used as a tool to keep track of learner’s progress. Particularly, when it comes to e-learning, continuous assessment allows greater customization and efficiency in learning process and prevents students lost interest in their study. Also, each student has his own characteristics and learning skills that must be taken into account…

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is a short range (range about 10cm) standard extended from the core standard Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID). These technologies are a portion of wireless communication technology. Even though NFC technologies benefit in various field, but it’s still exposed to multiple type of privacy attacks and threat as well since the…

The objective of this paper is to provide a new simulator framework for mobile WSN that emulate a sensor node at a laptop i.e. the laptop will model and replace a sensor node within a network. This platform can implement di?erent WSN routing protocols to simulate and validate new developed protocols in terms of energy…

To implement a new secure network with high mobility and low energy consumption, we use smart sensors. These sensors are powered by micro batteries generally non rechargeable. So, to extend their lifetime, it is necessary to implement new energy conservation techniques. Existing works separate the two features (security, energy conservation) and are interested specifically in…

Precision agriculture in recent times had assumed a different dimension in order to improve on the poor standard of agriculture. Similarly, the upsurge in technological advancement, most especially in the aspect of machine learning and artificial intelligence, is a promising trend towards a positive solution to this problem. Therefore, this research work presents a decision…
