Clustering is a branch of data mining which involves grouping similar data in a collection known as cluster. Clustering can be used in many fields, one of the important applications is the intelligent text clustering. Text clustering in traditional algorithms was collecting documents based on keyword matching, this means that the documents were clustered without…

Perishable inventory management contributes simultaneously to society and the economy, by reducing food wastage and capitalizing on the freshness of goods. For this reason, countless mathematical models have been developed for their effectiveness and cost-efficient management. Yet, the majority of these models can only optimize systems for a limited time frame, allowing for small gains…

3D-printing technologies have greatly influenced the field of fabrication of medical devices. In particular, Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printing has emerged as one the most popular and most promising technologies for fabricating upper-limb prostheses. Over the last years, a variety of types and designs of 3D-printed hand prostheses have been created and are commercially available.…

In Latin America, there is a need for better security systems in different national or sectional votes, which is why this study was carried out, to show a proposal for a security model that helps to obtain better results and to this purpose has been selected information on the database for different Latin American countries,…

Current work demonstrates how open-source optimization library ”Extremum” (OSOL Extremum) can be used to build feedback controller of a satellite. Proposed software was developed to as an attempt to eliminate current problems that are present in scientific area: black-box effect (i.e. there is no opportunity to explore source code, modify it, or simply verify), no…

All forms of skin cancer are becoming widespread. These forms of cancer, and melanoma in particular, are insidious and aggressive and if not treated promptly can be lethal to humans. Effective treatment of skin lesions depends strongly on the timeliness of the diagnosis: for this reason, artificial vision systems are required to play a crucial…

The importance of programming skills has increased with advances in information and communication technology (ICT). However, the difficulty of learning programming is a major problem for novices. Therefore, we propose a logic error detection algorithm based on structure patterns, which are an index of similarity based on abstract syntax trees, and error degree, which is…

In this paper, a multiple-objective Metaheuristics study is discussed. Initially, three mono-objective metaheuristics will be explored in order to design and optimize Radio-Frequency integrated inductors. These metaheuristics are: An evolutionary algorithm called The Differential Evolution (DE), An algorithm supported on Newton’s laws of gravity and motion called the Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and, finally, A…

Spatial and temporal isolation is a crucial issue in embedded systems executing multiple tasks with several levels of criticality. This is considerably significant in the context of multi-processor (or multi-core) embedded systems running multiple mixed-criticality applications in parallel. This work deals with the issue of isolation of different application classes on Network on Chip (NoC)…

Modern universities aim at carrying capacity human resources component in its tri dharma (Three Pillars of Higher Education). UPI with sufficient conditions in the management of several resources has undoubtedly tried to establish itself as a modern university. The superior human resource support in every competition and the university’s tri dharma is the primary resource…

Metals of lead and some lead alloys, lead oxide, nickel and cobalt were recovered from exhausted battery by combined hydrometallurgy and pyro metallurgical method. The spent batteries were dismantled and leached in hot 2M and 5M nitric acid. The unleached fraction was heated with sodium carbonate to produce lead oxide. Salts in the leached solution…

The integrating model becomes one of key trends in engineering design. The more the product has functional specifications, the more the industrial consumer apply in many fields. In this paper, a fusion design of architecture platform for autonomous system is demonstrated. It is greater due to combining the specifications of various types in commercial market…

An artificial neural network (ANN) computing system can be significantly influenced by its implementation type. The software implemented ANN can produce high accuracy output with slow computation time performance compared to hardware implemented ANN which runs at a faster computation time but with low accuracy. Normally, software implementation reduces the proficiency and efficiency of the…
