Game-based learning has been introduced as an interactive tool to facilitate learning and training processes in various fields, including supply chain management (SCM). Most of these games are specifically designed to focus on certain scenarios and concepts. For example, the original beer distribution game focuses on a single product supply chain without considering capacity and…

Reverse logistics activities are widely used application to preserve the environment in many developed countries from e-waste problem. Due to lack of public awareness in many emerging countries, implementation of reverse logistics program must be initiated by government. Besides that, reverse logistics practices often fail to balance among profit target achievement, the environmental conservation, and…

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become one of the most advanced techniques that is used currently in many fields. The role of education is extremely important in every society; therefore, it should always be updated to be in line with new technologies and lifestyles. Applying technology in education enhances the way of teaching and learning.…

This paper presents a resource-friendly dynamic digital beamformer for a portable ultrasound imaging system based on a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The core of the ultrasound imaging system is a 128- channel receive beamformer with fully dynamic focusing embedded in a single FPGA chip, which operates at a frequency of 40 MHz. The Rx…

The following work introduces the use of the available Redundant switching states introduced by the double star four level converter topology, for its application in a medium voltage variable speed drive under a wide range of operation loads. Redundant switching states are obtained using multi-carrier phase-shifted pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy. The converter performance is…

The object of this paper is to identify the unknown electrical parameters of solar photovoltaic generators in real time, through the application of a novel suggested hybrid method. The identification process is discussed with details, about the four steps of identification. In this issue, the first step describes the experimental data acquisition work done to…

Stream cipher can be used in constrained environments to provide information security and reduce energy expense at data transmission. In this paper, it is shown that Reed-Solomon (RS) code can be used to implement stream cipher, which is widely used for error corrections of data in transmission and storages. The proposed stream cipher combines the…

The torch relay for the 2017 Taipei Summer Universiade started June. The innovative torch design was altered and tested, follow-up production successfully. For preventing weather effect, the head of the torch embedded with a unique airflow structure that allowed the sacred flame to pass the wind and rain tests. The safety lantern displays a 3D…

Moderate exercise has been implemented in spaceflight programs to prevent muscle and joint damage under extreme circumstances such as microgravity. Although the physical effects of exercise have been investigated experimentally, advanced modeling and simulation techniques are powerful tools that could provide insight into the physical limitations, optimal conditions, and mechanisms that might lead to muscle…

A selective harmonic elimination system using fuzzy logic for the elimination of high magnitude harmonics with frequencies close to fundamental in the output voltage of single phase inverters is presented. The system does not require look up tables for storage of the data as in traditional harmonic elimination methods. The input of the fuzzy system…

Residential schools can be a great place for students to learn and develop a different set of skills if the right environment is given to the child. Constant communication with parents can help the child to stay motivated and feel comfortable away from home, hence schools tend to provide various solutions to allow the student…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in conference name” Study Performance of Speed Tracking Control with Frequency and Amplitude Dependence”. Though many PMSMs (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) control approach have already been published, little endeavors have been invested in the study of speed tacking control with frequency or amplitude dependence. The use…

Face recognition is one of the most well-known biometric methods. It is a technique used for identifying individual from his face. The recognition process takes the face and compares it with the one stored in the database for recognizing it. Many methods were proposed to achieve that. In this paper, a new technique is proposed…

To evaluate the effects of Ondansetron on the negative and depressive symptoms of patients with schizophrenia. A double-blind randomized control trial was conducted in 2016-17 in Lahore. 30 participants were included both in placebo and medicine group. The patients were assessed by using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Hamilton’s Rating Scale for…

Multitenancy isolation is a way of ensuring that the performance, stored data volume and access privileges required by one tenant and/or component does not affect other tenants and/or components. One of the conditions that can influence the varying degrees of isolation is when locking is enabled for a process or component that is being shared.…

The development of agent-based systems is negatively impacted by the lack of process standardization across the major development phases, such as the requirements analysis phase. This issue creates a key barrier for agent technology stockholders regarding comprehending and analyzing complexity associated with these systems specifications. Instead, such fundamental low-level infrastructure is loosely attended to in…
