The structural, compositional, morphological and optical analyses of the samples are characterized by XRD, EDAX, SEM and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The XRD analysis shows tetragonal rutile structure formation in…

In this paper we propose the application of supervised learning techniques to recognize stress situations in drivers by analyzing their Skin Potential Response (SPR) and the Electrocardiogram (ECG). A sensing device is used to acquire the SPR from both hands of the drivers, and the ECG from their chest. We also consider a motion artifact…

Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…

Novel ionic polymers were synthesized by crosslinking of poly (vinylalcohol) (PVA) with sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) and silicotungstic acid (SiWA) with or without silica. The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was developed using solution casting method. Infrared (IR) spectra revealed that the Keggin structure was insered in the PVA films. The thermal decomposition of the…

Several challenges like changes in brightness, dynamic background, occlusion and inconsistency of camera position make the recognition of hand gestures difficult in any vision-based method. Diversity in finger shape, size, distribution and motion dynamics is also a big constraint. This leads to the motivation in developing a dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) flow based…

This examination plans to investigate the task issue in the educational program designer group utilizing the Ones Assignment Method. The calculation of this technique as follows. At first characterized the task grid, at that point by utilizing determinant portrayal acquired a diminished framework which has in any event one in each line and segments. At…

Estimation of displacement is an information required for daily operation monitoring systems to monitor human health or to locate users in buildings, basements, tunnels and similar places which under the same conditions that the global positioning signal (GPS) level is from very weak to completely absent; and is the measurement technique by using multimetric data…

The crisis linked to the COVID-19 and the uncertainty it generates in the unprecedented health, societal, economic and financial fields have had a strong impact on the stock markets. Indeed, in such a climate of very high uncertainty, it is to be expected that the excessive stock market price movements will continue, with both declines…

The objective of this article is to highlight the relationship between the integration of sustainable development practices in Moroccan Small and Medium Enterprises (Smes) and the challenge sought by managers in order to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Indeed, present-day Smes are operating in a world where economic, social, societal or environmental constraints are constantly evolving.…
