With the advent of Big Data, we are witnessing a rapid and varied production of huge amounts of sequential data that can have multiple dimensions, we speak of data streams. The characteristics of these data streams make their processing and storage very difficult and at the same time reduce the possibilities of querying them a…

In devices using Windows operating system based on x86 system, the real-time performance is not guaranteed by Windows. It is because Windows is not a real-time operating system. Users who develop applications in such a Windows environment generally use commercial solutions such as the RTX or the INtime to provide real-time performance to the system.…

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a key technology for preventing an ongoing global coronavirus epidemic. Due to the limited corpus database and the morphological diversity of the Thai language, Thai speech recognition is still difficult. In this research, the automatic speech recognition model was built differently from the traditional Thai NLP systems by using…

Educators should be considered the learning style of students so that the best practice approach can be applied in learning activities. As students understand their learning style, they will be able to integrate it into their learning process. Kolb Learning Style was the learning style that was widely used based on the theory of learning…

Multi-Robot System (MRS) is a complex system that contains many different software and hardware components. This main problem addressed in this article is the MRS design complexity. The proposed solution provides a modular modeling and simulation technique that is based on formal system engineering method, therefore the MRS design complexity is decomposed and reduced. Modeling…

The Ministry of Finance is the state ministry in charge of state financial affairs which has two functions, namely the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as the State General Treasurer and the Chief Operating Officer (COO) as a Budget User. As COO, the Ministry of Finance is expected to be able to provide information related to…

This paper is an extended version of work published in IPFA 2020. In the previous paper, advanced physical failure analysis (PFA) techniques for rescuing damaged samples with cracks, scratches, or unevenness in delayering are introduced. In the present work, the techniques will be further exploited and summarized for the potential applications in general devices. The…

A reconfigurable Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) radar prototype for supporting the italian financial police to contrast smuggling, is proposed in this work. In particular, the proposed radar can provide information related to the container contents and the presence of false bottoms speeding up the control operations at borders and ports. Moreover, it is able…

FPGAs constitute a flexible and increasingly popular controlling solution for robotic applications. Their core advantages regarding high computational performance and software-like flexibility make them suitable controller platforms for robots. These robotic applications include localization / navigation, image processing, industrial or even more complex procedures such as operating on medical or human assistant tasks. This paper…

At the conference “System timing, shaping and signal processing” “SYNCHRONO-2020” there was report: “Simulation of steady state microwave oscillator with dielectric resonator” and “Microwave generators, driven by voltage-based microassemblies with dielectric resonators”. An algorithm for calculating a generator with an open dielectric resonator is described. Based on the DesignLab 8.0 simulation environment, the analysis of…

Efficient real-time clustering is a relevant topic in big data streams. Data stream clustering needs necessarily a short time execution frame with bounded memory utilizing a one-scan process. Because of the massive volumes and dynamics of data streams, parallel clustering solutions are urgent. This paper presents a new approach for this trend, with advantages to…

Erosion affects large parts of Moroccan land, particularly in the mountains leading to soil quality deterioration and less vegetation cover. Located in the South-west of Morocco, the Site of Biological and Ecological Interest (SBEI) of Ain Asmama, where erosion threatens a major part of the region was investigated. The site has a terraced transitional bioclimate,…

Collaborative E-learning is highly dependent on the well functioning of a complex socio-technical system that comprises information technology and various social processes. Large-scale infrastructures like the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) provide access to research and educational resources and provide collaboration between educational and research organizations, thus providing a set of essential services for…

The article further extends the researched issue of the unmanned aircraft use in the pre-flight and post-flight visual check of aircraft. Procedures of pre-flight inspection are fulfilled by the aircraft maintenance certified staff or the crew member before flight. The process is similar for all categories of aircraft, but its implementation differs for individual specific…

A competitive manufacturing environment dictates to be conscious of the real cost of production to increase profitability, to have a precise cost estimation, and to avoid cost distortion. Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is one choice to achieve these objectives. This paper aims to build an ABC method, consequently, to explore its application for a local Aluminum…

Encouraged by the huge publicly available genomic databases, research in the field of steganography was recently extended to utilize DNA sequence data to conceal secret information. As an extension of the work presented earlier by the author, this paper proposes an approach for a secure data communication channel between two parties. At one side of…

The TAM is a model that is widely used to understand IT adoption and usage process accordingly and the reason for its popularity is that the model clarifies variances like behavioral intention (BI) relevant to IT appropriation and use over a broad range of settings. The model’s main factors for system use is perceived usefulness…

Distributed Solar Photovoltaic (DSP) Plants are one of the fastest growing renewable energy systems in South Africa. The primary components forming an integral part of the point of common coupling (PCC) are, the inverter used to convert dc voltage to ac voltage and step-up transformers which step-up low voltage input to the desired output level.…

PT XYZ has an Enterprise Resource Planning application that is used by the Planning Department to view stocks and plan production materials.
