The world is facing an unprecedented virus outbreak, COVID-19, hitting more than 200 countries. Governments have been striving to prevent the spread of the virus through the lockdown. During the strict lockdown in Jordan, people needed to stay home, and they used available social networks to keep updated on COVID-19, with Facebook, the most popular…

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,…

Currently, increasing penetration of the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECs) in Power generation systems has influenced the supply of electrical power reliability for the consumer in comparison with other traditional sources. In this paper, the performance and efficiency of a new optimization approach referred to as the “Differential Evolution Optimization Algorithm” (DEOA) to measure the…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in PM2.5 Prediction-based Weather Forecast Information and Missingness Challenges: A Case Study Industrial and Metropolis Areas, which focused on imputation algorithm to solve missingness challenge and demonstrated a basic prediction system to prove the proposed algorithm, II-MPA. Distributed and decentralized systems, recently, have been proven for…

There have been disruptions in local and global food supply chains around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has led to rethink various aspects and to consider various trends in the food sector, encourage a more rapid transition and evolution to the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), to counteract current problems and to…

Due to pandemic spreads of COVID-19 and increasing populations of se- niors, exercises or performance practices at home have become important to maintain healthy lives around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) has announced the physical health determines the Quality of Life (QoL) of a human. Unfortunately, a lot of people have no exercise and…

The proactive caching has been an emerging approach to cost-effectively boost the network capacity and reduce access latency. While the performance of which extremely relies on the content prediction. Therefore, in this paper, a proactive cache policy is proposed in a distributed manner considering the prediction of the content popularity and user location to minimise…

The undulated power supply has dropped to its worst reliability index in most parts of the city despite the installations of distribution transformers to improve the power. In this work, examination of Port Harcourt Town Zone 4 (Z4), Rivers State power distribution system forcing on its operation, planning for future expansion of the system, and…

The Covid-19 is a pandemic issue that is causing widespread global disruption forcing lockdowns in many countries including Malaysia as an effort in disconnecting the virus from spreading. As an initiative, the Malaysia government has call for the Movement Control Order (MCO) as one of the lockdown alternatives starting on 18th March 2020. Due to…

This investigation deals with the identification of the suitable empirical models for predicting radio wave propagation path losses in Erbil city of Kurdistan region in Iraq. For this purpose, two sites of Korek Telecom operating at 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz have been selected at urban and sub-urban environments in the city and seven different…

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.…

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…

A rarefied gas flow is modeled inside two cases of triangular lid-driven microcavity using single (SRT) and multi-relaxation time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann approaches. In the first one, the right angle is in the top-left corner and the upper wall moves with positive horizontal velocity. However, in the second case, the right angle is in the…

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…

Water is an important vital resource, and must be protected and saved. Unfortunately, millions of liters of water are wasted annually at the national level in Peru, one of the factors is the discomfort when people take a hot shower, because first the water is cold, which is contained in the pipes of domestic connections…

With recent advancements in medical filed, the quantity of healthcare care data is increasing at a faster rate. Medical data classification is considered as a major research topic and numerous research works have been already existed in the literature. Presently, deep learning (DL) models offers an efficient method for developing a dedicated model to determine…

The text’s production carried out in this research aimed to 5-year-old children from the IE 555 Inmaculada Concepción, under the modality dictated to adult, had a design and application of 22 sessions during three months with the experimental group. On their methodological approach was based on the expression ludocreative, articulating the written experience jointly with…

This paper studies a trade-off between security (intercept probability (IP)) and reliability (outage probability (OP)) for a multi-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relaying protocol in an underlay cognitive radio network, in presence of a multi-antenna eavesdropper. In the considered protocol, all primary and secondary terminals are equipped with multiple antennas, and they employ transmit antenna selection (TAS)…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) include a large number of sensor nodes that are connected to each other with the limitations in energy sources, battery life, memory, mobility and computational capacity. Since the traditional layered architecture was appropriate only for the wired network. It works within a strict boundary that leads to more energy usage as…

At present, in the era of digitization the organizations need Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to have the ability adapt to changes with rapid response in order to increase the competitive advantage. The fact, many companies have failed to implement ERP which is proven to be not go live on time, so that the implementation…

The aim of this work is to study the effect of infill brick panels on the response of multi-storey buildings under seismic loading. An eight storey building is investigated. The building is analysed under gravity and seismic loads. Infill panel is replaced by two struts according to FEMA306. Time history and pushover analyses are performed…

Estimation Solar radiation is the most significant part of the optimization of solar power. This may be achieved if the solar radiation is predicted well in advance. Meteorological stations have radiation measuring devices like pyranometer, pyrheliometer, radiometer, solarimeter, etc. however, it may not be available at the location of interest for researchers. Due to this…

Trust is essential in many interdependent human relationships. Trustworthiness is measured via the effectiveness of the relationships involving human perception. The decision to trust others is often made quickly (even at zero acquaintance). Previous research has shown the significance of voice in perceived trustworthiness. However, the listeners’ characteristics were not considered. A system has yet…

The article considers the task of developing a fuzzy-logical PID-type controller for a nonlinear dynamic system. A feature of the structure is presented, which consists in simplifying its controller by decomposition. In the simplest version, three fuzzy controllers are used with one input and one output and separate rule bases. Parameters of fuzzy controllers are…
