The presented research investigates how the synergy enhances computing applications. The paper presents…

This manuscript exhibits a perfect design for a flexible number of modified DC nanogrids within an open energy distribution network (OEDN) that interconnected via a DC bus. Each modified nanogrid implies a single-input multi-output switched boost inverter (SIMO-SBI). The DC-output for each inverter is robustly controlled to keep the DC-bus interconnected voltage constant. The proposed…

Modern power systems are topologically and structurally complicated due to their complex interconnections. Consequently, the complexity of the dynamic stability assessment be-comes more tedious, most especially, when considering a power electronics-based power system operating under faulty conditions. This paper, therefore suggests an alternative approach of Network Structural-Based Technique (NSBT) for the analysis and enhancement of…

Harmful algal blooms (HAB) or “Red tides” are organisms which produce toxins which are harmful to humans, fish, and other marine mammals. The said toxins come from dinoflagellates of genus Pyrodinium Bahamense var Compressum that cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) and Dinophysis Caudata and Prorocentrum lima which results to Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP). In the…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

In this paper, one of the “problem zones” in mathematics concerned with the surface area of three-dimensional bodies is presented by computer and mathematical modeling with synergetic effects using intelligent system support. The problems of personal self-organization and technological stages of student’s research activity in the process of modern achievements in science adaptation in teaching…

In the Global sphere, the social, environmental, and economic pillars are the main contributors and accelerators to the sustainable development goals. As a result, the latter creates a platform for interdisciplinary researchers, society and decision-makers to collaborate in formulating ways to minimize factors contributing to environmental concerns. Energy is currently referred to as one of…

There are pressures to adopt sustainable behaviour more so in generating profits and benefiting the society to accelerate green efforts through a green framework. The overarching goal of the paper is premised through various works of literature, building the ecosystem the elements highlighted by most researchers in the field of environmental entrepreneurship. The various models…

The article describes the concept and architecture of a decentralized control system for a solid-state voltage regulator (SSVR). The SSVR is a universal device for controlling the mode and operation parameters of medium voltage electrical networks. SSVR manage the amount of current in line using the vector voltage control method. The SSVR control system consists…

“This paper is an extension of work originally presented in the 4th International Conference on Systems of Collaboration, Big Data, Internet of Things & Security -SysCoBIoTS’19”. The use of complex and dynamic systems modelling to social systems is quite recent and its pertinence in the case of an educational system is continually increasing. For the…

Sizing optimization should be used to design an efficient, sustainable, and feasible hybrid system. In this paper, a hybrid power plant consisting of an off-grid photovoltaic and wind energy system was planned to supply the demand of residential houses in Libya. To minimize installation and operational costs by sizing each part of the hybrid system,…

To create a Virtual Reality (VR) system for Wing Chun’s basic hand movement training, capturing, and classifying movement data is an important step. The main goal of this paper is to find the best possible method of classifying hand movement, particularly Wing Chun’s basic hand movements, to be used in the VR training system. This…

Indoor positioning system (IPS) has become a high demand research field to be developed and has made considerable progress in recent years. Wi-Fi fingerprinting is the most promising technique that produces an acceptable result. However, despite the large amount of research that has been done using Wi-Fi fingerprinting, only a few Wi-Fi based IPS in…

This research aims to investigate the energy and power management of a battery-supercapacitors Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for Electric vehicles (EVs). A bidirectional DC-DC converter, a battery and a set of supercapacitors were employed to construct the parallel semi-active architecture of HESS. Two strategies of Rule-Base Linear Quadratic Regulators (R-B LQRs) were proposed to…

The learning difficulties of Object-Oriented Programming can be one of the causes of failure in college students, which can even lead to student dropout. This article has the purpose of analyzing the main learning difficulties of object-oriented programming using the Java programming language in Systems Engineering students of the Universidad Nacional Tecnológica de Lima Sur…

Day to day huge medical data have been accumulating for diabetic diseases. The complexity of storing, processing ,analyzing and predicting the data related to diabetics is not so easy for healthcare professionals .The prediction of accurate results also has the limitation due to scale of data increasing worldwide for patients, symptoms and test results .In…

With the features of the application system make it easier for users to transact, make the user feel comfortable in using the application system. The problem is that the intensity of application usage decreases judging by the application rating given by the user each time they perform a transaction, this is because the company initially…

The need to update the news at this time is very important. Journalists have responsibilities as their job. Apart from conveying the correct news to the public, they must also deliver it quickly. Journalists who are tasked as news seekers must always be updated about the latest news that is viral, therefore a journalist must…

In an intelligent transportation system (ITS), time is a big challenge since processing a huge amount of data in a short time is very difficult, especially when the processed data is heterogeneous, consisting of a mixture of emergency data, normal data, and noise. In an ITS, an ambulance is one of the priority vehicles, and…

The current online shopping system does not provide the actual shopping experience to the users where they scroll through the web pages and select an item to purchase, which becomes monotonous soon and lacks the shopping experience. This paper describes the development of the SmartMart, a 3D shopping mart where the user can navigate around…
