Aging is a natural process that progressively introduces limitations in a person’s life, which can have dramatic effects on the person’s lifestyle and wellbeing and in most cases is related to the strength of the person’s social bonds with the family and friends group. Therefore, it is important to maintain these bonds in the various…

In this paper the front-end power solution for automotive ADAS electronic systems is analyzed. The increased complexity of electronic systems in ADAS automotive brings new challenges for hardware design, especially with regard to improving the efficiency of the switched-mode power supply while maintaining the overall cost reasonably low and keeping the occupied area on the…

The increased motivation (by service providers) to offer user-centric and seamless communication services – that satisfies users’ quality of experience (QoE), has manifested a myriad of challenges in the field of wireless communication; and given the increased traffic capacity and sudden explosion of cellular devices, communication systems are constantly threatened by performance related issues –…

Radiation hardened devices are mostly extremely expensive. The continuously downscaling of microelectronic structures and the unavoidable presence of particle radiation on ground and in space leads to unwanted failures in electronic devices. Furthermore it is expected that in the next few years around 8000 new satellites will be launched around the world. Due to the…

The full service life of a technical product or system is usually not completed after an initial failure. With appropriate measures, the system can be returned to a functional state. Availability is an important parameter for evaluating such repairable systems: Failure and repair behaviors are required to determine this availability. These data are usually given…

Education is the raising of the thinking process and developing the mind in a broader perspective. However, education that is comprehensive and appropriate to the individual according to its potential, ability and skill is too hardest to describe. Thus, matching and referral institutions, including education model that suits the person’s behavior has been receiving attention.…

When two robot systems can share understanding using any agreed knowledge, within the constraints of the system’s communication protocol, the approach may lead to a common improvement. This has persuaded numerous new research inquiries in human-robot collaboration. We have built up a framework prepared to do independent following and performing table-best protest object manipulation with…

Recent task scheduling algorithms for a generalized workflow job in heterogeneous system adopt list-based scheduling. In those algorithms, the response time cannot be effectively reduced if the given workflow job is data-intensive. If the workflow job is computationally intensive, an attempt is made to assign tasks to many processors, which can lead to resource starvation.…

Cloud providers seek to maximize their market share. Traditionally, they deploy datacenters with sufficient capacity to accommodate their entire computing demand while maintaining geographical affinity to its customers. Achieving these goals by a single cloud provider is increasingly unrealistic from a cost of ownership perspective. Moreover, the carbon emissions from underutilized datacenters place an increasing…

Interconnection of the power system utilities and grids offers a formidable dispute in front of design engineers. With the interconnections, power system has emerged as a more intricate and nonlinear system. Recent years small signal stability problems have achieved much significance along with the conventional transient constancy problems. Transient stability of the power system can…

The great cards are getting a charge out of a critical part inside the on-line managing wherever we have tendency to can’t check the cardholder up close and personal. The phishing sites may parody the data in the middle of the customer website and along these lines the common webpage. To protect the data and…

All multimedia devices now incorporate video CODECs that comply with international video coding standards such as H.264 / MPEG4-AVC and the new High Efficiency Video Coding Standard (HEVC), otherwise known as H.265. Although the standard CODECs have been designed to include algorithms with optimal efficiency, a large number of coding parameters can be used to…

In this paper, Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection of spatially distributed targets embedded in compound Gaussian clutter with Inverse Gamma texture is addressed. By taking into account the fact that clutter parameters are unknown in practical situations, we propose mean level based on Lookup Tables detectors, that operate as a two-step approach, which consists…

In this work, a compact system for the automatic estimation of the tilt angle at any location of the world is presented. The system components are one computer, one GPS receiver and one Python program. The tilt angle is calculated through the maximization of the flux of direct radiation incident upon a flat solar collector.…

A Linear Wireless Sensor Network (LWSN) is a kind of wireless sensor network where the nodes are deployed in a line. Since the sensor nodes are energy restricted, energy efficiency becomes one of the most significant design issues for LWSNs as well as wireless sensor networks. With the proper deployment, the power consumption could be…

Computer programming course that utilizes languages such as C/C++ is always packed with dreary syntax details that consume most of the students’ learning time to obtain ‘grammatically’ correct source code. Consequently, it is difficult for most of the students to apply the theory they have learned in a real life context. Thus, this project proposed…

The For the last three decades, end-to-end computing paradigms, such as MPI (Message Passing Interface), RPC (Remote Procedure Call) and RMI (Remote Method Invocation), have been the de facto paradigms for distributed and parallel programming. Despite of the successes, applications built using these paradigms suffer due to the proportionality factor of crash in the application…

Listening to auditory stimuli during study can give positive and negative influence on human cognitive processing. Thus, it has attracted researchers to conduct studies using various types of auditory stimuli. Some researchers believe that Mozart music and white noise are able to give positive influence on cognitive performance. However, most of the past studies gave…

The problem of multi-criteria or multi-objective intercropping crop planning makes it vital to consider all related factors under the constraints that will produce the highest revenue and minimum cost. Principles of intercropping elements including soil type, plant area, plant diseases, planting and harvesting time and economics factors (e.g. price, cost) are some of the factors…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of integrated content and English education. To fulfill this, 30 studies conducted in elementary school setting matching the meta-analysis criteria, such as being quantitative, experimental, or having affective statistical results after searching for the key words of “content-based”, “theme-based” and “integrated learning” on the accessible…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2017 6th International Conference on Industrial Technology and Management (ICITM) [53]. This research focuses on the mobilization of human resources in the Asian electrical industry and analyzes the impact of engineers’ international mobility on the innovation of enterprises in the host countries. I examine the…

The paper explores an issue of efficient public transportation network design as a part of the urban developing process. Having data about everyday residents travelling inside of an urban area, we can consider this data as people’s requirements for the public transport system. We propose a novel method for initial public transportation network design based…

Network security is often built on perimeter defense. Sophisticated attacks are able to penetrate the perimeter and access valuable resources in the network. A more complete defense strategy also contains mechanisms to detect and mitigate perimeter breaches. Deceptive systems are a promising technology to detect, deceive and counter infiltration. In this work we provide an…

In this paper we propose our genetic algorithm for solving the SAT problem. We introduce various crossover and mutation techniques and then make a comparative analysis between them in order to find out which techniques are the best suited for solving a SAT instance. Before the genetic algorithm is applied to an instance it is…
