This work presents the analysis and formulation for optimizing the dynamic model and parameter estimation of all the six joints of a 6DOF industrial robot manipulator by utilizing swarm intelligence to optimize two excitation trajectories for the first three links at the arm and the last three links at the wrist of the robot manipulator.…

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…

Social skills are a set of partially independent and situationally specific verbal or nonverbal responses, in terms of resilience, it is the set of qualities, resources or strengths that favor adolescents to face the adversities of life, therefore the objective of the research work is to determine the social skills and resilience in adolescents of…

Social skills are the behaviors that the individual adopts on a regular basis at specific moments in everyday life. Resilience is the way in which the individual faces the adversity that life imposes on them, as well as manages to overcome it. In adolescence, problems are perceived because important changes are generated in an accelerated…

This research shows the study carried out on the Health Related to Quality of Life (HRQL) focuses on aspects related to the perception of health experienced and declared by the person, in different dimensions such as physical, mental, social, general perception of health and satisfaction achieved measured at different levels; the objective of the study…

Interpolation tools are used daily in hydrology and climatology. With the purpose to regionalize spot´s registration parameters, such as depth of precipitation, temperature, humidity, among others. The accuracy of these methods is not fully validated. This research presents a comparative study between the most used interpolation methods for the regionalization of hydrological and climatological parameters.…

This research presents an effectively autonomous method that can save time and increases productivity for an assembly line in industry by using a 6DOF manipulator and computer vision. The objects are flat, aluminum type and randomly stacked in a box. Firstly, 2D color image processing is performed to label the object, then using 3D pose…

The role of creativity techniques in the design of prototypes is of particular interest given its potential for innovation. At same time, despite the efforts of decades in terms of policies and programs of action, humanity has not yet come close to global sustainability. Sustainability design must involve society and creatively employ all available knowledge…

Despite that groundwater is an important and vital water resource, it is not well managed; depletion of aquifers around the world due to overexploitation is of serious concern especially in arid regions where the situation is much more alarming. Tafilalet plain in Morocco which belongs to this type of environment is certainly no exception and…

This study is based on the challenges related to the low quality of education in Indonesia. One of the reasons for these challenges is the low ability of teachers to conduct professional tasks. Future demands for teachers’ professionalization will be higher, considering the rapid development of society, science and technology, and current global competitiveness. In…

It is the age of information. Social networks are the main reason why, following the increasing activity of online users. With this comes a big impact on the real world, it can be positive and highly negative as well. Therefore, research in this field is highly needed for the betterment of societal behaviors within social…

This study used 15 VECM analysis models to analyze the relationship among exchange rates of South Korea, China and Japan; and between exchange rates of each country and international financial market variables. The analysis variables are the Won, Yuan, Yen spot exchange rates and international financial market variables. The results of the analysis are as…

This paper presents the results of the research conducted with the help of cognitive cybernetics about the “mass” factor from the theory of totalitarianism. According to the expert system model, “big data” analysis sought to discover knowledge for assessing the future status of digital social connectivity. Originally developed models and methods of cognitive and computer…

Nowadays, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is very important especially in the era of smart cities and intelligent transport systems. Fully automated number plate detection and recognition system helps in reducing time, error, and cost for tracking of vehicles and for recording traffic violations. The main goal of this paper is to design a low…

The income generated from the tourism sector exhibits the main driving force for national revenues in Indonesian. Based on data from the Ministry of Tourism in Indonesia, it turns out that the potential tourist category originated from the cluster of college students or school-aged cohort. In this line, social media signifies a similar age of…

One drawback of the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem with the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is that the origin of the network cannot be clearly defined. In addition, it is not possible to specify internal relationship between criteria and sub-criteria. The application of Design Structure Matrix (DSM) with the Partitioning Reachability Matrix method resulted…

This paper presents an adaptive step-size and variable leaky least mean square algorithm based on nonlinear adaptive filter with the adaptive lookup table using spline interpolation. An adaptive step-size approach is proposed with the energy of squared previous and present errors to boost up the convergence rate. A modified variable leaky mechanism is proposed with…

This work presents the development and improvement obtained by implementing inventory managing practices during the COVID 19 pandemic in a Mexican company, a leader in the industrial sector to overcome the effects on the Company’s economies due to constrained market to maintain liquidity and preserve employment by increasing customer service level ensuring the availability of…

This research describes new traffic congestion analysis method “Traffic Congestion Triangle” based on more than one month real traffic big data analysis in India.
