The paper examines the impact on the product life cycle of reducing the duration of the development stages of aviation technology through the use of multi-criteria optimization. The subject of the study is the nose of a supersonic aircraft and the process of linking it. This example describes in detail the application of a comprehensive…

Power converters in automotive industries are needed to source electronic devices. DC-DC Buck converter allows to drive loads ensuring their safety operation taking the car battery voltage as an input to generate a sub-voltage or current. By means of a control loop, the system makes sure that the output variable has the desired value in…

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…

Digital twins act through application programming interfaces to their physical counterparts to monitor, model, and control them. Beyond these traditional functions of digital twins, they must also act to secure their physical counterparts. A multi-model scheme is presented to help digital twins towards the task of securing the physical system. Additionally, this work includes an…

Online transactions make it easy for people to get products or sell the products through online applications. The success and failure of online sales depends on how satisfied and loyal the customer is to the service of the product or business which can certainly influence and increase competition between the online sales industry. Based on…

This research sought to measure some socio-political indicators using millions of opinionated messages from social network sourced big data. Thus, and using an enhanced mixed method for sentiment analysis and a fusion model algorithm to infer topics from short text, this study attempted to demonstrate the value of computational approaches in measuring some phenomena in…

A happy employee with high morale is the best asset of an organization. The morale of an individual working in an organization can be impacted by both positive and negative ways by physical environment factors of the workplace. The physical environment of an organization impacts a lot on the work performance of an individual. It…

3D city modeling may be considered as one of the key applications, that are provided by the Automated Feature Extraction (AFE) techniques from LiDAR data. The authors attempt to prove that with growing availability of LiDAR surveying methods the resulted 3D city models become the most significant modeled features for any urban environment. Our paper…

The ability to think and the social abilities of junior high school students is a potential ability developed through learning based on the optimization of differences in learning abilities. For this reason, appropriate learning design and implementation model is needed in realizing this, especially in one of the social group subjects. This study uses research…

In this paper we are demonstrating the importance of building and achieving a renewable electrical power system that works in synchronization with the grid. The average of consumption, generation and the negative environmental effect of generating power were analyzed. This paper is divided into three parts, one was analyzed with Green Building Studio software and…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

The large and ever-increasing variety of remote sensing sensors used in satellite imagery today explains why detecting changes between identical locations in images that are captured, at two separate times, from heterogeneous capturing systems is a major and challenging recent research problem in the field of satellite imaging for fast and accurate determination of temporal…

The revolution in the electrification of conventional vehicles due to increased petroleum prices and environmental concerns has had its impact on three-wheeler vehicles as well. Motorized three-wheeled vehicles, known as Auto-rickshaws, are a standard mode of trans- portation in India. Existing battery operated electric rickshaws (known as E-rickshaws) available in major cities of India faces…

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…

After studying the aviation problems in Iraq, on one hand, and because Iraq has various weather characteristics due to its different terrains (i.e. mountains, plain fields, and deserts). We discussed these problems with pilots and aviation specialists, and came to the conclusion that the main offset faced is vision deficiency is foggy and dusty weather.…

This article is part of the field of Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), where several criteria must be considered in decision making. All criteria are generally as varied as possible and express different dimensions, and aspects of the decision problem posed. For more than four decades, several MCDA methods have emerged and have been applied perfectly…

This paper addresses essential features/issues and proposes solutions that would improve the overall performance of a multi-phase buck converter. Low efficiency at light load is addressed with phase shedding, load fast transient and regulated output voltage spiking/dipping is addressed with novel helper technique at the point of load (output node). An Integrated current sensing is…

Social skills and resilience are very important aspects for mental health; therefore, it is necessary to take into account the positive contribution in the development of adolescents, they are in a vulnerable stage, adapting to physical, mental, emotional, etc. changes. Adolescents, not knowing how to handle the difficulties that may arise, if they do not…

We describe the control design strategy used to control a soft robotic artificial muscle composed of silicone rubber using hand gesture signals. This artificial muscle is actuated with pneumatics, and therefore, the control strategy employed is through the regulation of air pressure within the inner chambers. Using the hand gestures of bringing the hands apart…

Horse power – the prime mover that has been there with humans for ages; chiefly used for transportation in the early days, and later, also used as an energy source leading to the conception of the term – horse power (hp). The current paper presents an interdisciplinary effort that brings forward an approach for evaluation…

In this paper, we present a new method to deduce minimal cut sets depending on the minimal path sets of the complex systems (networks) to generate the Incidence Matrix, and then compared it with the truth table of the system. This comparison, based on some algebraic properties, gives minimal-cut sets of the complex network with…

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…

Stop and Wait (SW) ARQ, Go Back N (GBN) ARQ, and Selective Repeat (SR) ARQ are the main ARQ (Automatic-Repeat-reQuest) protocols used to ensure reliable delivery of digital data at correct sequence. These protocols are implemented at the DLC (Data Link Control) sub layer of Data Link Layer (DLL) of OSI (Open System Interconnection) network…

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a potentially common sleep disorder manifested in upper airways’ collapse, either partially or completely. If diagnosed late and untreated, it may result in serious complications. The standard golden method, useful for treating OSA, remains the full night Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Yet, due to the ensuing discomfort it incurs…
