The growing technology in mobile applications encourages developers to build educational apps to help kids learn to know alphabets, numbers, animals, and…

Since the release of of the IPv6 Routing protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks by the IETF ROLL working group, several enhancement schemes were proposed. In fact, They aim to extend the network lifetime, reduce congestion, mitigate end to end delay and moderate energy consumption. In fact, considering the vast area of Low-Power and Lossy…

In this paper, the performance evaluation of a line-start three-phase Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) with symmetrical distributed brass rotor bars is presented. The machine, which has been designed from a conventional three-phase induction motor (IM) NEMA frame stator is proposed as an alternative to a squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM). The 2D Finite Element Analysis…

This paper focuses on exploring efficient ways to find H2 optimal Structure-Preserving Model Order Reduction (SPMOR) of the second-order systems via interpolatory projection-based method Iterative Rational Krylov Algorithm (IRKA). To get the reduced models of the second- order systems, the classical IRKA deals with the equivalent first-order converted forms and estimates the first-order reduced models.…

With such a big volume of data growing tremendously every day, and the storage of important volume of data becoming increasingly more flexible, NoSQL(Not only SQL or Non-Relational ) database are designed to store a large amount of information and are growing for big data systems in web analytics. It an approach does not require…
