The ability to verify the critical risk factors related to an effective diagnosis is very crucial for improving accuracy on coronary heart disease prediction. The objective of this research is to find the best predictive model for coronary heart disease diagnosis. Three approaches are set up to achieve the goals (1) investigating the classifier algorithms…

Harmonic distortion is a problem that can be caused by the use of power electronic devices. The effect of harmonics has an impact on changes in the input voltage source waveform which is referred to as wave defects. This incident has an impact on electronic faults and overheating of the power transformer coil as a…

Suppose we want to classify a query item Q with a classification model that consists of a large set of predefined classes L and suppose we have a knowledge that indicates to us that the target class of Q belongs to a small subset from L. Naturally, this filtering will improve the accuracy of any…

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…

Global changes caused by the IV Industrial revolution and globalization processes resulted in a redistribution of roles of participants in innovative infrastructures of countries. Universities are leading both in terms of generating R&D products and in terms of developing business activities. Now there is a problem of insufficient methodological support of technological universities for pricing…

Low power OTAs are the most preferred circuits in the realization of continuous time filters of analog front end of wearable healthcare devices. A low transconductance OTA with series parallel current mirror to realize large time constant of the filter is designed. The differential pair of the OTA uses bulk driven PMOSFETs and the subthreshold…

In modern deregulated power industry, private sector has invested a lot to supply for extended power demand using the preexisting power system framework. This resulted into increased loading of transmission lines which has to work now to hit their thermal limits. The overloading of transmission line resulted in congestion and hence increase in loss of…

The performance ratio (PR) based on IEC 61724 standard is calculated under the influence of seasonal variations and the capability of the system. On the other hand, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the U.S. Department of Energy proposed the weather-corrected performance ratio (PRcorr). This PRcorr index calculates the performance of the PV system…

The integration of renewable energy distributed generation (REDG) into the energized distribution power grid has become more popular in recent years. This has been escalated by the general global energy shortages. The REDG has proven to be effective for energy sustainability and reliability. However, there are technical challenges which arise from integrating REDG into the…

Tinnitus is a phenomenon for which the patient hears sound in the absence of any external sound source. To this day, there is no cure for this phantom sound perception. But it can be masked temporarily to help relief the patient’s pain. In order to allow this, a better understanding of the phenomenon is needed.…

It was analyzed the reference information on Cybersecurity architectures, models, standards, evaluations, mechanisms, and procedures applied to IoT domains, and public and private health area. The problem is the lack of proposals for IoT Cybersecurity in public and private hospitals to minimize random failures, ensure the privacy of personal data of patients, avoid the paralysis…

This project aims to demonstrate the importance that digital media can have to the development of loyalty programs, namely in creating empathy and proximity relationships between brands and their target audience: young people. This study consisted of the creation of a digital platform for Toyota Portugal, named Spot Toyota, to communicate actions promoted by the…

The banking industry is very competitive. To utilize the information, they have in order to be a competitive advantage winner is reasonably very crucial for the company. At present, the company does not only focus on the company’s strategy that prioritizes products (e.g. product or service oriented), however also necessitates to focus on the company’s…

Vegetable oils are often proved to be promising for industrial lubrication applications among which soybean oil found to be better due to its attractive and desirable thermo physical properties for machining compared to other vegetable oils. However, already it was established that influenced desirable thermophysical properties necessary for a vegetable oil through which better machining…

It is difficult to accurately segment brain MRI in the complex structures of brain tumors, blurred borders, and external variables such as noise. Much research in developing as well as developed countries show that the number of individuals suffering tumor of the brain has died as a result of the inaccurate diagnosis. The proposed article,…

Dementia is one of the three primary diseases that increases the level of nursing care required for the elderly. Dementia can lead to an increased burden not only on those who have contracted it, but also their families and the surrounding environment; initiatives for preventing dementia and slowing the decline of cognitive function are expected…

Different models and standards of information security were analyzed, to adopt a model that mitigates vulnerabilities, risks and threats in the quota allocation process for the State University in Ecuador. The main objective is defining a prototype for the management of processes and information security in this type of organization. It was used the deductive…

The need for air conditioning in rural areas where there is no source of electricity, leads to look for alternative solutions. Usage of Solar thermal system drive vapor jet refrigeration cycle (VJRC) instead of the traditional air conditioning systems, contributes in the reduction of the Global Worming and Ozone Depletion. The main objective of this…

This paper represents analysis of principles providing maximally reliable delay estimation of signal synchronization devices in telecommunication. Clock synchronization schemes on the base of stochastic models, graph-analytic interpretation, analytical functional description and their parameters selection in case of real complex hindrance are analyzed. Dependences between dispersion of maximally reliable estimation of synchronization devices and signal…

In the present article, we introduce a foveation-based optimized embedded and its optimized version image coders thereafter called VOEFIC/MOEFIC and its related foveation wavelet visible difference predictor FWVDP coding quality metric. It advances a visually advanced foveal weighting mask that regulates the wavelet-based image spectrum before its encoding by the SPIHT encoder. It intends to…

This paper studies and compares the effectiveness of four different features and their combinations on the recognition accuracy of handwritten Bangla characters. The longest run, chain code histogram, shadow, and Gabor filter-based features and their eleven (11) combinations were tested on a standard Bangla database of 15; 000 basic handwritten characters to compare their recognition…

It was analyzed certain information about cyberattacks in Latin America and methods to counteract the aggressions that affect services, data and infrastructure. The problem is the cyberattack on information networks where there is interdependence between processes, people and devices within public organizations with the negative consequence of denial of services. The objective is to propose…

This paper focuses on the issue of distributed reinforcement learning (RL) for decision-making in cooperative multi-agent systems. Although this problem has been a topic of interest to many researchers, results obtained from these works aren’t sufficient and several difficulties have not yet been resolved, such as, the curse of dimensionality and the multi-agent coordination problem.…
