Bird watchers and people obsessed with raising and taming birds make a kind of motivation about our subject. It consists of the creation of an Android application called ”Birds Images Predictor” which helps users to recognize nearly 210 endemic bird species in the world. The proposed solution compares the performance of the python script, which…

With the significant spread of 5G telecommunication systems, the demand for high quality of service and better coverage is growing rapidly. Multiple-input–multiple-output is planned to be among the key technologies in 5G telecommunication’s field. In this article, a new fully digital 2×2 MIMO testbed is implemented, using USRP B210 and 2 pairs of microstrip antennas…

Seto Inland Sea is situated between Japanese islands Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. It is separated from the ocean by the Bungo Channel, Kii Channel, and other narrow straits around Shikoku Island. The objective of the article is to draw the attention to the question of how well the coastal population and infrastructure of those locations…

Process mining is an innovative technique through which inefficiencies in production systems can be eliminated. This technique has therefore become very important internationally in recent years and is also useful for pursuing the improvement of production systems by extrapolating process knowledge from event logs recorded by information systems. Process mining has easy application in production…

Many consequences can be resulted in mismanagement of crowd, which might get people injured or even lose their lives. Thus, crowd management helps in controlling overcrowded areas during events, and allowing authorities to monitor, manage and reduce incidents. Space science and technology have made huge leap in crowd management, let alone when this technology integrated…

The paper aims to describe a new technological and organizational approach in order to manage teleconsultation and telemonitoring processes involving a Physician, who remotely interacts with one or more Specialists, in order to evaluate and discuss the specific clinical conditions of a patient, based primarily on the sharing of digital clinical data, reports and diagnostic…

The knowledge and understanding of the technology of quantum computers and their superiority over classical computers are still insufficient or uncertain for many communities of researchers, manufacturers, investors and the general public. For this reason, we try in this article to present and explain some of the basic concepts of quantum computers. We explain how…

Emotion is the most important component of being human, and very essential for everyday activities, such as the interaction between people, decision making, and learning. In order to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, most of the academic institutions relied on online video conferencing platforms to continue educational activities. Due to low bandwidth in many…

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially small and light multicopters driven by electrical motors and batteries, have experienced a boom in applications. The electrical drive system is a central component of these UAVs. This paper introduces the basics of these drives and presents control methods for them using permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs).…

The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) is distinguished by heterogeneous technologies that provide cutting-edge services across a range of application domains. However, by eavesdropping on encrypted WiFi network traflc, attackers can infer private information such as the types and working status of IoT devices in a business or residential home. Moreover, since…

In complex swarm robotic applications that perform different tasks such as transportation and observation, robot swarms should construct and maintain a formation to adapt and move as a single large-scale robot. For example, transportation and observation tasks require unique robot swarms with either high densities to support the weight of the transported objects or low…

Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most common and benign methods for analyzing and identifying abnormalities in the human brain. EEG is an incessant measure of the activities of the human brain. In contrast, when the measurement of EEG is bounded by time and the EEG is synchronized to an exterior stimulus, is known as…

We present in this contribution the distribution of a global multi-input-multi-output system in a sensor and actuator network. Based on controllability and observability, the global system is decentralized and the system properties are preserved as a result. This results in multiple decentralized local single-input-single-output systems with the same system order as the global system. As…

In recent years, people-counting problems have increased in popularity, especially in crowded indoor spaces, e.g., public transport. In peak hours, trains move significant numbers of passengers, producing delays and inconveniences for their users. Therefore, analysing how people use public transport is essential to solving this problem. The current analysis estimates how many people are inside…

Given the strict Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) criteria for video transmission, such as delivery ratio, transmission delay, and mean opinion Score (MOS), video streaming is one of the hardest challenges in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Additionally, VANET attributes, including environmental impediments, fluctuating vehicle density, and highly dynamic topology, have an…

In agile manufacturing, due to the desire to meet customer’s requirements, processing times are stochastic because operations could be done by robots or humans. This can cause several problems in scheduling the jobs, and it is necessary to select the dispatch rule with the least change in costs and times, to respond quickly to different…

In current societies, web application systems take central roles in computer systems. Thus, web client programming using JavaScript has increased values to add dynamic features and functions in web pages by well working with HTML and CSS. In this paper, as a new type of exercise problem for its self-study, we propose a code modification…

The impact of previous energy crisis gives an insight into what happens when the oil price crashes. Μany countries were affected due the slow reaction in boosting the economic growth in key sectors such as oil-importing activities and the economic restructuring progress to face the challenges. But the present energy crisis resulting from the COVID-19…

Electrifying or connecting remote and isolated communities to the national grid is very difficult and expensive. This challenge is due to the geographic locations of these isolated communities and terrain that needs navigation when installing transmission lines to transmit power to the communities. This article presents a case study of the design of a hybrid…

This paper builds on the realization that since mobile devices have become a common tool for researchers to collect, process, and analyze large quantities of data, we are now entering a generation where the creation of solutions to difficult real-world problems will mostly come in the form of mobile device apps. One such relevant real-life…

A nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration whose phase shifters are placed in parallel is suitable for silicon-silica hybrid structure to realize a high-speed optical switch. Even when the signal wavelength deviates from an optimal wavelength, the crosstalk of the nested MZI optical switch can be suppressed by employing phase generating couplers (PGCs) in place of…

The false nearest neighbors (FNN) method estimates the variables of a system by sequentially embedding a time series into a higher-dimensional delay coordinate system and finding an embedding dimension in which the neighborhood of the delay coordinate vector in the lower dimension does not extend into the higher, that is, a dimension in which no…

The aim of the article is to analyze the annual reports on cyber security of Central European countries, i.e. the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, and Austria. The article focuses on the development of the state of cyber security, actors of threats in cyberspace, cyber threats, and the most common types of attacks. The article…

Applying black-box ML models in high-stakes fields like criminology, healthcare and real-time operating systems might create issues because of poor interpretability and complexity. Also, model building methods that include interpretability is now one of the growing research topics due to the absence of interpretability metrics that are both model-agnostic and quantitative. This paper introduces model…
