This paper presents a method for automatic 3D segmentation of brain tumors in MRI using optical scanning holography. Automatic segmentation of tumors from 2D slices (coronal, sagittal and axial) enables efficient 3D reconstruction of the region of interest, eliminating the human errors of manual methods. The method uses enhanced optical scanning holography with a cylindrical…

Our world is characterised by uncertainty and complex, relational structures that carry temporal information, yielding large dynamic probabilistic relational models at the centre of many applications. We consider an example from logistics in which the transportation of cargoes using vessels (objects) driven by the amount of supply and the potential to generate revenue (relational) changes…

This study tests the feasibility of manufacturing concrete blocks made of recycled materials. The paper is an extension of work originally presented in ASET conference in Dubai. The paper, depicts and analyzes how the characteristics of the blocks (strength/durability) are affected by the presence of recycled concrete ingredients (recycled aggregate (RA)) and recycled water (RW).…

The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be a valuable contribution in disaster situations or life-threatening exploration. Using wireless mobile robots, it is possible to explore vast areas without human intervention. However, the wireless network coverage that can keep mobile robots connected to the base station / gateway is a major limitation. With this…

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…

There are many works in construction in Nepal. To build the country, there must be different buildings, roads, bridges, etc. with rapid flights. But here it seems to be slowly delayed for various reasons. Many people have studied in this regard. But no one seems to have thought about reducing it. Therefore, I have prepared…

Demak is located on the north coast of Java, precisely in Central Java Province, Indonesia which has many problems related to erosion and shoreline degradation. This study attempts to analyze, identify, and select the materials to build eco-friendly permeable breakwater in Demak. The research was conducted during 2014, consist of several activities, i.e. identified the…

This paper shows a method applied during the reconstruction of an existing middle size Italian hospital. In fact, during this delicate phase, the project had a significant decrease in storage space and access gates for goods, medicines and medical devices. This aspect has a negative impact on road traffic. There was no consensus among the…

Due to their efficient flight control systems and their camera of high quality modern drones can fly precisely and take aerial photos of high resolution. Although these multi-rotor devices are not able to fly long distances yet, they are very efficient instruments for taking aerial photographs of their proximate environment. As they are able to…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in conference name. The goal is to propose new fault detection and fault isolation techniques for a polytypic linear parameter-varying system (LPV). In this work, an adaptive observer design is formulated for a given polyquadratic Lyapunov function. Subsequently, new sufficient conditions are given in terms of…

This paper proposes a novel approach to sensor and actuator integrity monitoring in a dynamic system. Multiple sensor and actuator faults can be detected. Furthermore, faulty sensors and actuators are isolated by contribution analysis. Most importantly, fault magnitudes can be correctly estimated and failed sensors or actuators outputs can be reconstructed. The proposed approach is…

Remote control switching device for household application is a home device used to control the switching of household appliances from a distance. It serves to make the switching of household appliances easy for the elderly, physically challenged, the young and anyone who, in any circumstance, needs comfort and security. This paper develops a remote control…

Among the most popular methodologies for development of data mining projects are CRISP-DM and SEMMA, This research paper explains the reason why it was decided to compare them from a specific case study. Therefore, this document describes in detail each phase, task and activity proposed by each methodology, applying it in the construction of a…

Road surface coating using concrete paving block cement has been used for a long time. As an aggregate binding agent, asphalt can be made into paving blocks. Utilizing waste in the recycling process is an activity to control the sustainability of natural resources. Waste Engine Oil and Recycled Concrete Aggregate can be used as road…

This study presents an “Omnidirectional multi-view image measurement system”, which can be used to provide multi-camera 3D reconstruction and multi-view image information. Its characteristic is that four cameras take images from multiple perspectives in the co-sphere framework. The C0 is the middle camera fixed as the geometric center point of measurement, and provides a front…

Owing to the recent development of AI technology, various studies on computer-aided diagnosis systems for CT image interpretation are being conducted. In particular, studies on the detection of lung cancer which is leading the death rate are being conducted in image processing and artificial intelligence fields. In this study, to improve the anatomical interpretation ability…

In this research we developed an BIM-based system to monitor and visualize the real-time building users information. Concentrating on building in-use stages, advantages in tracking facial recognition should be revealed through the availability of real-time information. In this way could explore the possibility of how BIM and IoT could improve data-oriented facility management. The integration…

Technical safety and health are especially important for mining-extracting industry. Even though the respective lows and good engineering practices exist, technologies develop and could address even better security for humans and equipment. The research question is to survey microclimate sensors in underground mining and to find whether they are ready for automation. The article is…

The construction industry has undergone several changes in recent years linked to new laws and international conventions aimed at protecting the environment and combating pollution. Construction industry alone produces tons of waste annually due to debris produced either during construction or during deconstruction. To combat this, companies are forced to control their debris either by…

Within the results of scientific research, vibrations and their reduction have been described for the brushless direct current motor with permanent magnets (BLDC motor). In this paper, calculations (the finite element method using commercial Finite Element Software Ansys) and measurements were performed to identifying the sources of vibrations in BLDC motor. The article presents numerical…

A very large number of workers is occupationally exposed to Optical Radiation (OR) worldwide, while indeed nowadays an exposure to Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can occur in almost all workplaces. OR origin can be natural, including the most relevant source, i.e. the sun, or artificial, that can be further classified in incoherent and coherent, i.e. the…

Many countries all over the world are promoting the recycled aggregate concrete for its advantage to solve the problem of shortage of natural resources in aggregates as well as promoting the recycling of waste and the reuse of materials. Recycled aggregate concrete replaces natural concrete with various rates of restitution of natural aggregates into recycled…
