This paper has explored the technology beliefs of university students considering four parameters. We have proposed an automatic belief identification system for academic institutions. For this, we used two different clustering algorithms to segment the student group with different beliefs about the technology. In the Hierarchical Clustering (HC), the Agglomerative approach was followed. The beliefs…

The insulation condition of a transformer decides the longevity of the equipment. The unpredicted failure of power transformer will lead to major disaster in the distribution network and it affects both environment and public safety. Nowadays synthetic oil and natural esters are alternatives to transformer oil because of the biodegradable nature. In this paper, investigations…

Storage-Class Memory (SCM) like OptaneTM has advanced as a fast storage medium, and conventional memory management systems designed for the hard disk storage need to be reconsidered. In this article, we revisit the memory management system that adopts SCM as the underlying storage medium and discuss the issues in two layers: file caching and virtual…

Feature extraction is an important process in image classification for achieving an efficient accuracy for the classification learning models. One of these methods is using the convolution neural networks. The use of the trained classic deep convolution neural networks as features extraction gives a considerable results in the remote sensing images classification models. So, this…

This paper proposes a closed association rule generation technique to investigate the association patterns of diseases that are frequent co-occurrence. Diseases records of 5,000 patients are studied to find the association patterns of disease co-occurrence. The CHARM algorithm is adapted to find frequent diseases that can cover all-important patterns with a small number. Then the…

The objective of this article is to highlight the relationship between the integration of sustainable development practices in Moroccan Small and Medium Enterprises (Smes) and the challenge sought by managers in order to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Indeed, present-day Smes are operating in a world where economic, social, societal or environmental constraints are constantly evolving.…

The most common non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, are a problem in global and national growth. The World Health Organization considers it a priority to study the specific causes of these diseases for trend monitoring. The aim of this paper is to identify a hierarchy of clusters of Portuguese mortality by non-communicable…

Increased recycling of PVC has become a requirement in industrial and scientific research level. Several studies will be realized. To confirm and check the recycled materials performance, it will be important to go through numerical modeling, which consists not only in validating the results of the experiments, but also in predicting what happens when the…

Modern digitalized cyber domains are extremely complex ensemble. Cyber attacks or incidents against system may affect capricious effects for another system or even for physical devices. For understanding and training to encounter those effects requires an effective and complex simulation capability. Cyber Security Exercises are an effective expedient for training and learning measures and operations…

Previous study of butterfly life-cycle algorithms (BLCA) has been done to construct a novel algorithm by impersonating the life-cycle of a real butterfly. The algorithm was tested in measuring the company’s growth performance using a balanced scorecard (BSC) strategic planning model. This paper is proposed to continue the previous study by expanding the concept in…

This study aims to provide a systematic and complete knowledge map for researchers in the field of virtual academic communities (VACs) and to help them quickly understand the key knowledge, evolution trends and research frontiers. This paper adopts the bibliometric method, with the help of bibliometric analysis software Citespace and VOSviewer quantitative analyze the retrieved…

The pre-reason of the Smolensk catastrophe was a dense fog. The pilots took three trials to find the proper way to airfield. Each case the tower communicated: you are on the curse and path. Pilots, however, resigned. In third critical trial the co-pilot prolonged the response second ring to 8 seconds and the engines could…

This paper deals with a multi closed-loop adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) design for the under-actuated quadrotor systems. First, the training data set for the fuzzy inference system is obtained using a proportional integral derivative controller. Then, an initial ANFIS controller is designed, where the integral control action is preserved in the multi-closed-cloop ANFIS for…

The paper is devoted to the presentation of a new methodological approach (new philosophy) to the formulation and solution of directed search and synthesis of electromechanical objects for a given function problems. The object under the study is a class of electrical machines and electromechanical devices which operation is carried out with a variable structure…

Age and growth are two essential rice biophysics parameters used to determine the health parameters and production rate. The spatial data of both parameters can utilize remote sensing technology, which in turn makes use of several vegetation indices to achieve accurate estimation. However, due to the rapid changes in rice plants’ characteristics, it is essential…

A distribution company in Mexico covers the travel expenses for 21 sales representatives. Currently, the routes they follow are not established clearly, which can lead to high costs in this subject. A reduction of such cost is sought after, by optimizing the routes for each one of them. The following research finds an improvement on…

There is some agricultural equipment for post harvesting of Orange fruit Juice, all the machine is geared towards extraction of the fruit juice. Fruit juice extraction is the act of wringing out the juice content of fruits by way of an effective processing and storage which enhance reduction in wastage. Fruit juices which literally have…

Nigerian power utility companies particularly the distribution and generation aspects were recently in the process of national power reform converted from public to private service by privatization. Prior to these development, power utility companies’ performance is low due to poor operational style that leads to inadequate revenue generation. Thus, the task before the privatized companies…

This paper studied the bending analysis of an isotropic rectangular plate for the effects of aspect ratio, shear and deflection on the critical lateral load of the plates using the polynomial shear deformation theory (PSDT). One of the plate is clamped at opposite edge clamped and the other opposite edge simply supported (CSCS). The other…
