Transformer health assessment techniques, based on applicable standards, such as the dissolved gas analysis (DGA), through laboratory testing or online monitoring are used to analyze the symptoms of a failure which develops in transformers from an early stage. The DGA from a sample of dielectric liquid taken from the main tank generates information on the…

This paper comprehensively focused on the information systems for purchase process optimization (IS) that are currently being used. It elaborates four crucial and important areas in relation to purchasing and supply management. These includes; Identifying the process involved in purchasing, how information systems are implemented and used in enhancing the supply process, understanding the key…

Until recent years, code quality was not given due significance, as long as the system produced accurate results. Taking into account the implications and recent losses in critical systems, developers have started making use of static code analysis tools, to assess the eminence of source code in terms of quality. Static code analysis is conducted…

Fault-tolerant applications are created by replicating the software or hardware component in a distributed system. Communications are normally carried out over an Ethernet network to interact with the distributed/replicated system, ensuring atomic multicast properties. However, there are situations in which it is not possible to guarantee that the replicas process the same data set in…

This paper is carrying out a practical identification of a DC servomotor from input and output data. The system’s step response was obtained from an acquisition card that we have developed using a microcontroller. The data is collected and downloaded to the PC Thought RS232 Protocol to process the identification process using polynomial models (ARX,…

In a radial distribution system, component failure leads to service interruption and subsequent disconnection of a few load points. An abnormal variation in the voltage levels and high power loss gives rise to reliability issues. In this work, feeder reconfiguration is performed to improve reliability, minimize voltage deviation and power loss. A Binary Particle Swarm…

One of the open domain challenges for Spoken Dialogue System (SDS) is to maintain a natural conversation for rarely visited domain i.e. domain with fewer data. Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) is a component of SDS that converts user utterance into a semantic form that a computer can understand. If we scale SDS open domain challenge…

Currently, increasing penetration of the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECs) in Power generation systems has influenced the supply of electrical power reliability for the consumer in comparison with other traditional sources. In this paper, the performance and efficiency of a new optimization approach referred to as the “Differential Evolution Optimization Algorithm” (DEOA) to measure the…

Wind energy is emerged rapidly as the most important and viable sustainable power source due to the mature technology and wide availability. The integration of wind energy sources and utilization of nonlinear loads having different characteristics results in several challenges in a distribution system. One of which is power quality issue .Hence, in this work,…

The main advantage of software-defined visible light communication (VLC) systems is that they allow us to reuse modulation, coding, synchronization and medium access techniques used in conventional radio systems. This article focuses on the implementation of an uplink alternative using an infrared (IR) light communication system. For this goal, analog front-ends are designed and implemented.…

Technology is advancing faster today than ever before with evidence of its impact in all facets of our lives. With the spread of the novel COVID-19 pandemic across the world, schools were closed as part of lockdown measures to contain the virus thereby disrupting academic curricula. Academic institutions leveraged ICTs to virtually engage students and…

The paper is aimed as a concise and relatively self-contained description of the educational environment TOST, used in teaching and learning Operating Systems basics such as Processes, Multiprogramming, Timesharing, Scheduling strategies, and Memory management. TOST also aids education in some important IT concepts such as Deadlock, Mutual exclusion, and Concurrent processes synchronization. The presented integrated…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

Smart agriculture concept uses innovative solutions including IoT and Cloud storage features, dedicated sensors for monitoring basic agricultural parameters, new communications protocols, etc. SmartAgro architecture comprises a telemetry system for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as air & soil temperature, air & soil relative humidity, leaf wetness, etc. The current paper outlines the reliability of…

The present work is undertaken as part of research studies aiming to provide sociotechnical systems with a decision-making tool that supports them in assessing the resilience of their processes. The ultimate objective is to fix the identified imperfections in order to steadily gain strength and effectiveness to cope with new and existing threats and challenges.…

This paper showcases our previous and continuously improving development at Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) and partners in designing and further enhancing the existing Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (LPLS) and Improved Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (ILPLS) to the new Smart Low-cost Phototherapy Light System (Smart LPLS) with non-invasive jaundice monitoring for newborns with Neonatal Jaundice (NNJ).…

Due to pandemic spreads of COVID-19 and increasing populations of se- niors, exercises or performance practices at home have become important to maintain healthy lives around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the physical health determines the Quality of Life (QoL) of a human. Unfortunately, a lot of people have no exercise and…
