Before the COVID-19 crisis, the Southern African Developing Countries (SADC) had a varied energy mix including renewable energy, fossil fuels, and military energy production. The use of fossil fuels in the energy mix is known to be the source of the growing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, there was a reduction in…

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can contribute to find solutions and add value to several agricultural problems, favoring thus productivity, better quality control processes and flexible farm management. In addition, the strategies that allow the acquisition and analysis of data from agricultural environments can help optimize current practices such as crop counting. The…

Harassment and violence against women have become one of the social security problems in Bangladesh. In this paper, we aim to develop safety devices for women named BOHNNI and BADHON which resemble legitimate jewelry. We used a microcontroller for the hardware device to make it most decisive and less immoderate. BOHNNI, a locating device, is…

Depth prediction plays a key role in understanding a 3D scene. Several techniques have been developed throughout the years, among which Convolutional Neural Network has recently achieved state-of-the-art performance on estimating depth from a single image. However, traditional CNNs suffer from the lower resolution and information loss caused by the pooling layers. And oversized parameters…

Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) has been introduced for LTE-Advanced system to overcome the inter-cell interference problems and enhance the signal quality of cell-edge UEs (User Equipments). With such concept, the overall system performance should be improved considerably to support the significantly increasing amount of demand on data transmission via mobile communication that happens nowadays. Dynamic Point…

Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is used to discover the MAC address of the connected hosts in Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) in a networked environment. Neighbor Cache Entry (NCE) table holds the association between a host’s IP address and MAC address. However, according to the protocol, the MAC address could be overwritten by sending a…

Waste is currently a serious problem often found in rural areas, rural areas, and even industrial areas. Waste is a side effect of activities carried out by humans to meet social or industrial needs. Increasing human productivity will also increase the amount of waste produced. To overcome this, a sorting management system is needed. Good…

A Japanese method in teaching at classroom show good result by implementing Kamishibai. On the other hand, technology is inseparable from daily life. Computer-based learning media innovations are fast and diverse, ranging from 2D animation to 3D environments. The hologram is one example of 3D object visualization to deliver the learning material. Based on Kamishibai’s…

The Public Administration is forced to transform itself by taking advantage of the contribution of ICT to in the process of reducing bureaucracy and increase transparency, promoting the dematerialization of processes, increasing the quality of online services, allowing greater ubiquity of access, reducing response times, in the search for improvement of the quality of life…

A significant problem of routing protocols in the Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET) is a significant overhead cost due to the high mobility of networking nodes. The problem is caused by a need to send information messages about locations of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In order to reduce the amount of service information, the following…

Quality of service is a significant part of formulating a composing of web services to satisfy the user’s request, especially when several services exist and have been implemented in the same field and functionality. The selection process of web services among many options can be taken based on the quality of service considerations, fitness parameters,…

Worldwide, the epidemiological situation is constantly changing and with the exponential increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, the number of health care workers has decreased significantly and this is due to the direct and daily contact of patients. One of the major challenges of the last few months is to prevent the spread…

Distribution is the main activity in integrated product supply chain management. In the pharmaceutical industry, the process of drug distribution is important because of the handling, storage, and distribution of medicinal products with good standards and quality. The problem that occurs in the pharmaceutical industry is the circulation of counterfeit drugs by related parties, for…

Consideration of building energy performance in the early stage of the design process is very important to help minimizing energy consumed by the built environment. Therefore, help in minimizing energy crisis problem. Optimization of building form and orientation at the early stage of the design process can save a significant amount of energy consumed by…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a promising trend in ship energy management systems (EMS). The motivations of this work are designing and implementation of an intelligent energy management system for ship’s electric power system based on an adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and the ship power source is an environmental friend system consists of proton exchange…

The design of microelectronic systems is often complex, therefore metaheuristics can be of a great interest, because in most cases these systems have conflicting objectives and constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of multi-criteria design strategies to a CMOS current conveyor. This provides designers with the ability to develop solutions that can meet…

Contracts may range from a simple agreement between a tenant and a landlord or a gym contract, or it could be as important as an employment or marital contract. No matter the level of importance, individuals are legally obligated to obey and carry out all clauses in the contract. In this paper, we have identified…

Today, the costs of most Renewable Energy (RE) technologies especially hydrogen energy technologies such as fuel cells, are still beyond the means of poorer economies in developing countries. Hence, there is little public awareness and local expertise in RE in these countries and even lesser in hydrogen energy. To solve this problem, it is important…

Recently, numerous scholars have suggested fuzzy time series (FTS) models to forecast many different fields. One of the vital issues for high accurate forecasting in FTS model is method of partitioning in Universe of discourse (UoD). In this research, we propose a novel FTS model, which is established by using hedge algebra (HA) and particle…

For systems using rotating machinery, diagnosing the faults of the rotating machinery is critical for system maintenance. Recently, a machine learning algorithm has been employed as one of the methods for diagnosing the faults of rotating machinery. This algorithm has an advantage of automatically classifying faults without an expert knowledge. However, despite a good training…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) technology is expected to provide many benefits for the society such as providing safe transportation to the community and reducing the number of accidents on the roads. With the emergence of AVs, the conventional safety infrastructure in which humans drive their vehicles will need to be upgraded in order to take full…
