The problematic of plastic pollution in the world has led to an interest in the research and development of thermoset starch-protein blend bioplastics as a possible alternative for single use non-recyclable plastics. However, these bioplastics lack the physico-chemical characteristics that make them useful as a replacement for the currently used plastics. This work aims to…

A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented to visualize the multipaths generated by COST 2100 channel model (C2CM) and the results of clustering the wireless propagation multipaths using Modified Simultaneous Clustering and Model Selection (MSCAMSMA). The usual practice of authors is to show their data and results using figures, tables, and graphs which are already…

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…

The paper addresses speeding up meetings in a networked environment during rescue works in a transport emergency. Several groups of representatives of various services and observers participate in those meetings. The number of wrong decisions tends to increase because remote participants cannot understand each other quickly. First, the meetings must be efficiently held to avoid…

The fight against poverty in the Peruvian Andes is a complex task in which various professionals, such as engineers, economists, anthropologists, among others, participate. The uncertainty of the decisions taken today, no matter how appropriate they may seem, such as million-dollar investments in irrigation infrastructure, can result in over-production and, therefore, in economic recessions. For…

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…

This paper describes methods of eliminating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) non-destructively, using Electronic Warfare Methods. The aim is to introduce certain methods of UAV detection and elimination in a complex environment and terrain, e.g., in an urban and battlefield environment, that will result in finding the control device position and the UAV itself. Neural networks,…

Teaching tax-related regulations have always been a challenge due to the inclusion of external variables that hinder the learning process, such as the high complexity of tax systems and legislation variability. Universities have sought different alternatives to support the teaching process both outside and inside the classroom, ranging from recreational activities to active learning. This…
