To properly simulate and implement a quadcopter flight control for intended load and flight conditions, the quadcopter model must have parameters on various relationships including propeller thrust-torque, thrust-PWM, and thrust–angular speed to a certain level of accuracy. Thrust-torque modeling requires an expensive reaction torque measurement sensor. In the absence of sophisticated equipment, the study comes…

The crisis linked to the COVID-19 and the uncertainty it generates in the unprecedented health, societal, economic and financial fields have had a strong impact on the stock markets. Indeed, in such a climate of very high uncertainty, it is to be expected that the excessive stock market price movements will continue, with both declines…

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…

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…

Machine learning has been dramatically advanced over several decades, from theory context to a general business and technology implementation. Especially in healthcare research, it is obvious to perceive the scrutinizing implementation of machine learning to warranty the rewarded benefits in early disease detection and service recommendation. Many practitioners and researchers have eventually recognized no absolute…

In this paper, the multi-objective optimization process was applied for the surface grinding process of 3X13 steel using an aluminum oxide grinding wheel (WA46J7V1A). For each experiment, three cutting parameters, including the workpiece velocity, feed rate, and the depth of cut, were controlled to change according to the experimental matrix. At each experiment, surface roughness…

Application in the field of medical development has always been one of the most important research areas. One of these medical applications is the early prediction system for heart diseases especially; coronary artery disease (CAD) also called atherosclerosis. The need for a medical diagnosis support system is to detect atherosclerosis at the earlier stages to…

Practically level of design element (i.e., explore, sharing, connect) is an essential of heutagogical approach. The self-determined learning process can be at ease with the implementation of these elements, and the critical step is reliability to measure teaching and learning feedback. Although various instruments were proposed in the literature to assess heutagogy elements, the specific…

East Java province is a large province in Indonesia, in which Surabaya is the second largest metropolitan city after Jakarta. Various problems of development inequality in East Java have caused East Java to be defined as a disadvantaged area in 2015. The determination of disadvantaged regions is carried out every 5 years using 6 criteria…
