Automated systems are increasingly exerting influence on our lives, evident in scenarios like AI-driven candidate screening for jobs or loan applications. These scenarios often rely on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) algorithms to meet legal requirements and provide understandable insights into critical processes. However, a significant challenge arises when some XAI methods lack determinism, resulting in…

The integration of fluctuating renewable resources such as wind and solar into existing power systems poses challenges to grid reliability and the seamless incorporation of these resources. To address the inherent variability in renewable generation, direct load control emerges as a promising method for demand-side management. Thermostatically controlled appliances, like air conditioners, hold a significant…

Diabetes presents a significant public health issue for Native Americans, exacerbated by cultural nuances often ignored by conventional healthcare. To address this, we introduce a mobile app designed with the cultural context of Native American populations in mind. The app’s development followed participatory design principles, with direct input from Native American stakeholders through focus groups…

The air compressor of a railroad vehicle is an important equipment that produces compressed air used in braking systems. New visual interaction techniques were proposed and evaluated to develop effective augmented reality content for maintenance support and training of this device. To this end, modeling techniques capable of fast animation, storyboard production to support light…

Machine Translation (MT) has come a long way toward reducing linguistic gaps. However, its progress in efficiently handling low-resource languages—such as the Wa language in the Myanmar-Wa corpus—has not received enough attention. This study begins with a thorough investigation of the historical development of MT systems, painstakingly following their development against the complex background of…

South African Drainage and Stormwater Systems in urban roads has been of great concern, more so with recent flash floods in Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal Province in South Africa. Pervious concrete can be used to mitigate these challenges for urban roads. Pervious concrete is a concrete that contains no fines or only a small amount…

We present an inverted pendulum design using readily available V-slot rail components and 3D printing to construct custom parts. To enable the examination of different pendulum characteristics, we constructed three pendulum poles of different lengths. We implemented a brake mechanism to modify sliding friction resistance and built a paddle that can be attached to the…

Cloud computing has emerged as a pivotal component of contemporary IT systems, affording organizations the agility and scalability required to meet the ever-changing demands of business. However, this technological evolution has introduced a new era of cybersecurity challenges, as attackers employ increasingly sophisticated strategies to breach cloud networks. Such breaches can have far-reaching consequences, including…

Mental stress assessment remains riddled with biases caused by subjective reports and individual differences across societal backgrounds. To objectively determine the presence or absence of mental stress, there is a need to move away from the traditional subjective methods of self-report questionnaires and interviews. Previously, it has been evidence that EEG Oscillations can discriminate mental…

Designing efficient control strategies for opinion dynamics is a challenging task. Understanding how individuals change their opinions in social networks is essential to countering malicious actors and fake news and mitigating their effect on the network. In many applications such as marketing design, product launches, etc., corporations often post curated news or feeds on social…

Condition assessment of medium voltage assets is essential to ensure reliability and cost-effective operation of power distribution networks. This article presents a literature review of condition assessment of medium voltage assets related to a distribution system in a non-interconnected zone in Colombia, namely, power transformers, photovoltaic systems, switchgear, lines and cables, and instrument transformers. Advanced…

The increase electricity production based on renewable energies sources responds to the requirements of sustainable development. In recent years, the investment in the wind energy sector has increased to satisfy green electricity generation and environment protection. Wind energy is currently the most competitive energy resource that is part of the world’s countries views on the…

Early warning systems have had a significant impact on society by providing timely information to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. To enhance early warning capabilities, researchers are exploring the use of digital terrestrial television systems to broadcast alerts across large urban and rural areas. In this research project, the aim is to integrate the…

In this article, we propose a new tutoring strategy to combat school dropout in Morocco. This strategy is based on a collaborative approach involving educational administration and teachers at the national level to ensure equity and equal opportunities for all Moroccan students, on the one hand, and the quality of the training, on the other.…

Due to the variations in weather conditions, photovoltaic systems adopt a technique based on maximum power point tracking to extract the maximal power of the solar module. In the literature, there are many different methods classical and intelligent of maximum power point tracking (MPPT). But, due to the semiconductor effect, the current-voltage characteristics of the…
