The design of microelectronic systems is often complex, therefore metaheuristics can be of a great interest, because in most cases these systems have conflicting objectives and constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of multi-criteria design strategies to a CMOS current conveyor. This provides designers with the ability to develop solutions that can meet…

Sustainable urban development and utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is driving cities globally to evolve into Smart Cities (SC). The power of IoT services and applications will enable public agencies to provide personalized services to the citizens and inevitably improves their much-needed quality of life. However, although the use of IoT technology proves…

Today, the costs of most Renewable Energy (RE) technologies especially hydrogen energy technologies such as fuel cells, are still beyond the means of poorer economies in developing countries. Hence, there is little public awareness and local expertise in RE in these countries and even lesser in hydrogen energy. To solve this problem, it is important…

Other points addressed in this extension are the…

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is considered a relevant health risk for the workers of the maritime and port sectors, but scant data are available on actual exposure measured using personal dosimeters. Moreover, in outdoor workers sun protection habits are usually poor, while some promising data suggest that sun-safety campaigns can be effective in increasing self-protection…

Recently, numerous scholars have suggested fuzzy time series (FTS) models to forecast many different fields. One of the vital issues for high accurate forecasting in FTS model is method of partitioning in Universe of discourse (UoD). In this research, we propose a novel FTS model, which is established by using hedge algebra (HA) and particle…

Everyone needs fast response or output against its request or need. Therefore, technologies are used to make the processing fast and accurate according to our needs. But in some situations, still we need to do more. Especially, when we need to process a massive or huge crowd of people in limited time frame such as…

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are having large demands in enormous applications for the decade. The main issue in WSNs is estimating the exact location of unknown nodes. All applications are dependent on the location information of unknown nodes in WSNs. Location information of mobile anchor node is used to estimate the location of unknown nodes.…

The use of heuristic methods in teaching is not possible without the cooperation of all or part of the students’ academic group. That is, the teacher who made the decision to apply the heuristic method de facto solves the issues of organizing project method in teaching. There are a large number of indications on the…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

The article investigated the banking determinants of loans’ growth using the quarterly data of Albanian banking sector during 2003-2018. We estimated the linear model of control variables to examine the bank’s sound effects on loan’s capacity. Empirical results demonstrated the initial positive outcome of the growth of non – performing loans on the loans’ growth,…

In the modern marketing system in a mass consumer society, the central place is given to the formation and promotion of brands. Professional conceptual approaches to brand management are able to preserve and increase the value and stability of the brand and allow the brand to survive in the most difficult competitive and crisis market…

Despite the significant progress made in data mining technologies in recent years, breast cancer risk prediction and diagnosis at an early stage using DNA microarray technology still a real challenging task. This challenge comes especially from the high-dimensionality in gene expression data, i.e., an enormous number of genes versus a few tens of subjects (samples).…

The main issue that is being presented in 2020 is the impact that all organizations are having due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is not for less given the global collapse that is occurring in all aspects. Many organizations have been affected by this catastrophe and in the face of an unforeseen scenario, the…

This paper aims to simulate the current trajectory of the pandemic growth in the UAE; when it is likely to end and at what cost? It also examines the current and additional possible measures to contain the second wave of the pandemic. The method used is a simple Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model called covid19_scenarios. The key…

The research objectives were to identify, analyze needs, as well as designing a mobile application for student online learning at PT. Ruang Raya Indonesia, particularly in the process of working on tasks assigned by the teacher. The methods used in this research are data collection method using Slovin theory, systems analysis by focusing on the…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

The paper treats a problem for detection and recognition objects in computer vision sector, where researchers recommended OpenCV software and development tool, it’s several and better-remembered library resource for isolating, detecting, and recognition of particular objects, what we would find an appropriate system for detecting and recognition traffic roads signs. The robustness with optimization is…

Modulation type classification is a part of waveform estimation required to employ spectrum sharing scenarios like dynamic spectrum access that allow more efficient spectrum utilization. In this work multiple classification features, feature extraction, and classification algorithms for modulation type classification have been studied and compared in terms of classification speed and accuracy to suggest the…

In this COVID-19 pandemic, it has been registered that children with autism are not learning properly with this virtual modality in Peruvian education. The main objective of this research work is to design a mobile application with augmented reality so that autistic children can improve their cognitive development in their virtual and face-to-face classes, the…

Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT) is proposed in general to look more forward in responding to the demands of the developing educational community, including how students develop and learn and how teachers prepare Learning Objects (LO). The variety of characteristics of students’ abilities in a class has always been a problem that is often faced by…

This paper presents a new floating-point technology: Bounded Floating Point (BFP) that constrains inexact floating-point values by adding a new field to the standard floating point data structure. This BFP extension to standard floating point identifies the number of significant bits of the representation of an infinitely accurate real value, which standard floating point cannot.…
