Currently, there is a growing interest for applying gamification in e-learning due to innovations in technologies and pedagogies. However, motivation and engagement related problems can arise when the gamification elements are not personalized to match the individual’s needs. Therefore, this research proposes a Hybrid Learning Model that combines both Gamification and Personality Traits to increase…

Electrostatic suspension systems have great potential applications in contactless transportation objects since they allow many different materials to be suspended. The electrostatic suspension will be widely applied in practice if the system cost is inexpensive. This paper presents an electrostatic suspension system controlled by using pulse width modulation (PWM). The use of PWM in electrostatic…

Lead concentration on surface soil (0-20 cm), root and aerial part of natural and cultivated pastures were evaluated, in the rainy season (March 2018), collected in 20 sites of a rural community located 20 km from the La Oroya metallurgical complex , which has been emitting to the environment particulate material with heavy metals since…

Medical images are transmitted via the Internet or the hospital intranet which include many important information about the patient’s personal information. Medical image encryption is a technology that can effectively protect the information contained in these medical images. In this paper, we give a secure and trusty Combined Cellular Automata (CoCA) based medical image encryption…

Circular data are common in biological studies which are involved angle and direction measurements. An outlier in circular biological data mostly related to the abnormality of the data set. The existence of outliers may affect the final outcome of a data analysis. Thus, an outliers’ identification method is essential in circular biological data to determine…

An emerging trend has been observed in the Trust and Reputation (T & R) systems in field of decision-making support for a majority of the provisions propagated by the Internet. It is the extreme importance that peers (users) are able to trust each other and rely on them for file sharing and for services. This…

Microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) are comfortable and have better anticipation compared to traditional antennas. Not only the weight of this type of antennas is lighter but also, they have little capacity, minimum price, reduced in measurement as well as affluence of fiction then observance. Recently, it has been many times reevaluated for the improvement of…

The character education program conducted through extracurricular areas of the Scout. The method used in this study is the Research and Development (R&D). The research objectives are scouts elementary and junior high school. This research resulted in 3 Prototype Free Model implementation of character education through extracurricular scouting programs in the form of three models…

In this paper, we present an experimental approach that allows a humanoid robot to effectively plan and execute whole body motions, like climbing obstacles and straight stairs up or down, besides jumping over obstacles using only on-board sensing. Re- liable and accurate motion sequence for humanoid employed in complex indoor en- vironments is a necessity…

This paper faces the topic of blood products transport by applying simulation, control and data exchange technologies in order to implement a safe and efficient integrated transportation system. As known, the bio-chemical properties of blood and its derivatives are subjected to deterioration whenever a well determined temperature range is not respected for an excessive time…

In this paper an offline motion-planning algorithm is presented for robotic manipulators. In this method to solve the path-planning task, the Transition-based Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (T-RRT) algorithm was applied, that requires a cost-function over the search space. The goal of this cost-function is to keep distance between the actual position and configurations that cause collisions.…

In recent years, development of aerial autonomous systems and cameras have allowed increasing enormously the number of aerial images, and their applications in many research areas. One of the most common applications is the mosaicking of images to improve the analysis by getting representations of larger areas with high spatial resolution. This paper describes a…

In recent years, researchers have focused on the development of many applications of information and communication which could lead to enhance human life. The congestion and road traffic are one of the most problems facing the ambulance transportation to provide fast healthcare services for patients. In this work, a tracking and data transfer system has…

The technical and vocational institutions are the key feeders for skilled human capital in the robotic revolution economy. It is essential to engage the students by creating new, affordable robotics at a fraction of the cost. This study presents the design and simulation of a six-axis robot manipulator specifically made for education and training. The…

Digitization forces industry players to adapt to transforming market situations and buyer behavior. Technological advances, buyer power, and sharpened competitive intensity imply that businesses are confronted with the menace of commoditization. For companies to perform successfully in the market, outdated business models ought to be rethought and new business models should be created. Unique selling…

Health Information Technology is playing a key role in healthcare. Specifically, the use of electronic health records has been found to bring about most significant improvements in healthcare quality, mainly as relates to patient management, healthcare delivery and research support. Health record systems adoption has been promoted in many countries to support efficient, high quality…

Thermo-acoustic technology is very potential to be applied to convert heat into another energy source. The complete thermoacoustic engine construction requires a resonator connected to a core where there is a heat exchanger. The thermoacoustic core has a function as an acoustic power generator while the resonator functions as a storage of acoustic power which…

This paper presents the use of Electromagnetic simulation tools such as ADS and CST in order to practice designing the RF front-end transceiver for a continuous-wave radar.
