With increasing photovoltaic (PV) penetration on distribution feeders, voltage functions is always a challenge. To control these variations due to the intermittent nature of PV generation,many utility companies use the traditional voltage regulating devices such as ON/OFF load tap changers, voltage regulators, switched capacitor banks and reactors. The use of smart inverters (SI) has been…

In this paper, we present a broadband frequency tunable antenna embedding varactor diodes. The reference antenna structure is a square antenna of patch dimensions [39,2 × 39,2] mm², operating at a single resonance frequency 2.45GHz. The recommended procedure to achieve the frequency shifting is to etch rectangular slots on the patch and to embed two…

Over the past decades, huge efforts have been devoted for image enhancement under uncontrolled scene such as fog and haze. This work proposes Multi-stage de-hazing approach for improving the quality of hazy images. Four main stages are introduced, in our approach, to achieve an automated, efficient and robust de-hazy processing. The first two stages are…

The present paper details a queueing model with two kinds of repair facilities and server timeout. Here the customer arrives in compound Poisson process into the system and the lifetime of the server follows exponential distribution. At the point when the system is vacant, the server waits for customers for a settled time ‘c’. If…

The safety management system is recognized by safety leading and lagging indicators, and their correlation with injury rates. The background on this specific subject is vague in definition, labelling, and indicators measurement. The comparativeness between leading and lagging indicators have been introduced in the constructing safety performance projects evaluation. Safety performance leading indicators are the…

Nowadays the collaboration of organizations, systems or services becomes more and more answered in practice. Indeed, organizations try to expand their service, other to satisfy the needs of their customers. Thus, the need to work collaboratively with other partners whether internally or externally becomes trivial. However, process modeling in a collaborative environment becomes heavy because…

A fuzzy system is a rule-based system that uses human experts’ knowledge to make a particular decision, while fuzzy modeling refers to the identification process of the fuzzy parameters. To generate the fuzzy parameters automatically, an optimization method is needed. One of the suitable methods provides the Firefly Algorithm (FA). FA is a nature-inspired algorithm…

In this paper, we would like to discuss the methods and ideologies used to create a database to be used for Human Resource purposes. Because we want this database to be accessible anywhere at any time, it is safe to conclude that an internet-based (web-based) database would work best, therefore we chose MySQL as the…

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…

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) for remote sensing image data is a tedious process due to high resolution and complexity of image interpretation. Development of feature extraction technique is a major portion to represent the image content in an optimal way. In this paper, we propose a feature descriptor which combines the color coherent pixel…

In more recent times, researchers have turned their attention to link prediction and the role link inference can play in better understanding the evolutionary nature of social networking sites. The objective of this paper is to present an in-depth review, analysis, and discussion of the cutting-edge link prediction methods that can be applied to better…

Through the Electrical Discharge Machining, the temperature is very high, which can lead to the material phase’s transformation and affects material properties, which can lead to failure of the products in the industry. This study aims to investigate the effect of a new input parameter (pulse cycle time Tc), with other parameters on the EDM…

This paper presents the setup of eye tracking calibration methodology and the preliminary test results of the training model from the eye tracking data. Eye tracking requires good accuracy from the calibration process of the human eyes feature extraction from facial region. Viola-Jones algorithm is applied for this purpose by using Haar Basic feature filters…

Student dissatisfaction is of the utmost importance when it comes to establishing a process of continuous improvement in a University. Currently, at the National Technological University of Lima Sur (UNTELS) there is no information regarding the levels of student dissatisfaction with the services offered by UNTELS. In this context, the purpose of this research project…

This article presents an analysis on the existing correlation of the specific and global performance of teachers in UNTELS engineering schools, whose data collection was carried out during the development of the first academic semester of the year 2019, using the Survey technique; which presents indicators classified in two dimensions: “Specific Dimension of Teaching Performance”…

The Citrix NetScaler CPX, is one of the many Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs), which is used mainly for load balancing between the application servers in a datacenter network. ADCs are typically placed in the demilitarized zone in an organization’s network, handling the connectivity of the external clients to the organization’s servers. While performing load balancing…

In this paper, we present a joint source-channel decoding (JSCD) scheme for image transmission. The binary sequences, resulting from the compression of several number of image blocks using arithmetic coding (AC), are written line-wise in the so called read- matrix (RM). In succession, a systematic Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) encoding is applied to the…

Nowadays, as the Information and Technology rapidly growing all across the world, Indonesia as one of many developed countries always tries to keep up relating to this trend. Regarding to this situation, the use of Information and Technology in various fields are greatly enhanced, and not to mention businesses. There are a lot of businesses…

Recitation and listening of the Holy Quran with Tajweed is an essential activity as a Muslim and is a part of the faith. In this article, we use a machine learning approach for the Quran Reciter recognition. We use the database of Twelve Qari who recites the last Ten Surah of Quran. The twelve Qari…

It is widely known that students’ exposure to poor postures due to inappropriate classroom furniture design may contribute to the increase of the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders symptoms that if not identified on time could lead to severe health issues. In this context, due to the unavailability of scientific studies related to this topic in…

The technological advance as well as needs of human beings made that systems became more and more complex. In contrast, the use and creation of new modelling languages became simple and no more reserved for a handful of language experts. Consequently, many new practices of systems implementation emerged, among them, the use of different domain…
