The study introduces an objective instrument paired with a system to automate the grade classification of Abaca fiber using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this study, 140 sample images of abaca fibers were used, which…

In this paper, we are proposing a device that generates vibration to possibly reduce the duration required for the orthodontic treatment by enhancing the tooth movement. This is achieved by harmonically exciting a bio-compatible material, namely polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to generate vibration and consequently a cyclic force at a low frequency of 30 Hz. (PVDF)…

This research makes the improvement of the errors surrounding edges and corners of thin electromagnetic regions by means of the magnetic field finite element formulation. Classical thin shell electromagnetic models are usually replaced by impedance-type interface conditions throughout surfaces that ignore errors in the calculation of the local fields (magnetic vector potentials, magnetic fields, eddy…

This research paper portraits the technique to determine location of submerged nodes with Cayley-Menger determinant and associated problems with non-parallel states. Cayley-Menger determinant is considered to be the usual means to determine the coordinates of the nodes with a single node where the plane of beacon i.e. beacon’s surfing plane and the plane created by…

Analytical researches on a potential performance of multipath multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems inspire the development of new technologies that decompose a MIMO channel into independent sub-channels on the condition of constrained transmit power. Moreover, in current studies of inter-symbol interference (ISI) MIMO systems, there is an assumption that channel state information (CSI) at receivers and/or…

The differences of stunting through socio-economic and productive indicators in high Andean community of Peru were evaluated ((11°42′58.16′′ S, 75°37′31.13′′ W, altitude 3470 m). Cross-sectional study in 52 mothers with children under 5 years old was carried. A validated nutritional survey was applied. Z-scores height for age and nutritional status were determined using anthropometric methods…

Vegetable oils are often proved to be promising for industrial lubrication applications among which soybean oil found to be better due to its attractive and desirable thermo physical properties for machining compared to other vegetable oils. However, already it was established that influenced desirable thermophysical properties necessary for a vegetable oil through which better machining…

The main assets of universities are students. The performance of students plays a vital role in producing excellent graduate students who will be the future viable leader and manpower in charge of a country’s financial and societal progress. The purpose of this research is to develop a “University Students Result Analysis and Prediction System” that…

The European drone market has been showing steady growth year after year. New EU drone rules will come into force as of July 1st, 2020, with the European Union setting itself the target to replace national rules with a common regulation with the ultimate goal of creating a harmonized European drone market. This study will…

Location-based services have become increasingly prevalent with the advancement in the positioning capabilities of smart devices and their emergence in social networking. In order to acquire a service, users must submit their identity, query interest and location details to service providers. Such information shared by users are accumulated continuously, stored and analyzed in order to…

In recent years, cyber security has been received interest from several research communities with respect to Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Cyber security is “a fast-growing field demanding a great deal of attention because of remarkable progresses in social networks, cloud and web technologies, online banking, mobile environment, smart grid, etc.” An IDS is a software…

Over time, several routing protocols have been suggested for use in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Because of availability of so many MANETs routing protocols, network engineers and administrators face difficulties in identifying an appropriate routing protocol for a particular scenario. This challenge results from the unavailability of adequate technical analytic studies designed to examine…

This study presents the design and construction of the Dual Axis Solar Tracking System to ensure maximum energy gain. The solar tracking system will automatically follow the sun’s position to maximize the intensity of the light emitted from the sun. When the light intensity decreases, the system automatically changes its direction to get the maximum…

To build a precise mathematical model describing a natural phenomenon, parameter estimation is needed to achieve the best parameter value.
