It was analyzed the reference information on Cybersecurity architectures, models, standards, evaluations, mechanisms, and procedures applied to IoT domains, and public and private health area. The problem is the lack of proposals for IoT Cybersecurity in public and private hospitals to minimize random failures, ensure the privacy of personal data of patients, avoid the paralysis…

The paper presents sharing several of experiences and practices on smart robotic application for overhead transmission line maintenance and inspection. First, the pilot-line pulling robot is an invention used to pull a pilot line which is an important step for additional high voltage conductor installation. The puller robot can traverse the overhead ground wire, OHGW,…

Oscillator phase noise (PN) has a strong impact on the spectral purity of the RF signal in wireless systems and is, therefore, a main challenge when designing a local oscillator. In this paper, we propose a new approach for designing a low PN oscillator based on the Time-Invariant Linear Model of phase noise. It leads…

In this work, we completed a validation of the Varian Clinac IX equipped with the High Definition Multi-Leaf Collimator (HD 120 MLC) instead of the removable jaws, using GATE Monte Carlo Platform version 8.2. We validated the multileaf collimator (MLC) geometry by simulating two dosimetric functions (Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and Dose Profile (DP)), for…

This project aims to demonstrate the importance that digital media can have to the development of loyalty programs, namely in creating empathy and proximity relationships between brands and their target audience: young people. This study consisted of the creation of a digital platform for Toyota Portugal, named Spot Toyota, to communicate actions promoted by the…

Degradation measurements are often treated and analyzed for improvement the reliability of system. Our objective in this paper is to study a class of non linear systems, whose dynamics and observations are non linear functions of the state. Obviously, we develop an Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) algorithm for detecting the additive failures in a two…

We proposed two robust confidence interval estimators, namely, the median interquartile range confidence interval (MDIQR) and the trimean interquartile range confidence interval (TRIQR) for the population mean (µ) as an alternative to the classical confidence interval. The proposed methods are based on the asymptotic normal theorem (ANT) for the sample median (MD) and the sample…

In the smart power grid, designing an efficient and reliable communication architecture has an important role in improving efficiency, and maintaining the connectivity of different network components. The home area network (HAN) provides an energy management system in houses since it enables home energy control and monitoring. So, it is imperative to determine a HAN…

In today’s Moroccan business environment, companies need to implement organization agility by developing an agile workforce that is able to deal with the environment volatility. Thus, the agile workforce concept has been appeared as a necessary and sufficient condition to achieve agility. Focusing on agile enablers influencing workforce agility is an important area but currently…

Our research investigates the use of causal modeling and its application towards mapping out cybersecurity threat patterns. We test the strength of various methods of data breaches over its impact on the breach’s discovery time as well as the number of records lost. Utilizing a Causal Modeling framework, we simulate the isolation of confounding variables…
