The advancement in medical imaging modality has made it possible to produce many types of digital medical images. However, limited effort has been done so far to utilize these valuable resources towards understanding the abnormalities' characteristic that the images might have. This is due to time consuming and expensive medical experts' interpretation processes. A case study on dental images has...
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gaining popularity in aiding search and rescue teams in the wake of a disaster. When searching through ruins such as a collapsed building or a building under fire, it is almost impossible for the first rescue team to navigate inside the ruins in search for survivors. Small UAVs such as the quadcopter which is equipped with autonomous capabilities has the potential...
An introductory research about a data-driven PID tuning for the control of liquid slosh system based on Safe Experimentation Dynamics (SED) is presented in this paper. A performance comparison between the SED and Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) based method for data-driven PID tuning is observed and discussed. The performance is evaluated by numerical examples in terms of...
This paper presented an enhanced of SINR based on serving and neighboring path loss to mitigate co-channel interference by using DSSS technique in LTE-Wi-Fi network. The proposed technique is the continuity from the earlier work which enhanced the DSSS with new coefficient: chip rate coefficient and radius fraction coefficient. The earlier works only consider its serving BS for path losses values...
Knowledge of dynamic behavior of process plants is essential in designing, commissioning and operating process plants. Several advanced model based technologies require explicit dynamic models of the process plant. However, even the development of the dynamic model of a simple unit operation is very daunting, costly and time-consuming. This paper presents a rigorous dynamic simulation using Aspen...
Providing stable and robust power signals for electrical consumers and apparatuses is the most important responsibility of all electric power providers. Whenever the electric power signals suffer from disturbances which affect their quality and consequently peril the safety and right operation of electrical appliances, it is the main task of suppliers to detect and solve such obstacles. For defect...
Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) is a type of lightning events occurs at the upper atmosphere or in the D region of the ionosphere during a thunderstorm. The occurring of TLEs is fast and difficult observed by human eyes. Therefore, a camera sensitive to low light condition is needed for observation of this phenomenon. In this paper, the camera is coupled with 50 mm f1.4 lens and Digital Video Recorder...
PoP or (Point of Presence) is a part of the outermost infrastructure of an ISP that is used to connect the ISP to the customer. PoP is a room which contains servers and aic conditioners. The air conditioners are used to make room remains cool and prevent servers from overheat. In most PoP out there, the operator monitors room every month in order to ensure the cool temperature. In this research, a...
This paper explains the process carried out in identifying the legal significance of National Digital Cadastral Database (NDCDB). The research was initially a part of a larger research exercise to identify the significance of NDCDB from the legal, technical, role and land-based analysis perspectives. The research methodology of applying the Delphi technique in this study is substantially discussed...
Human detection has now become an important and integral part of the maximum of computer vision applications. Surveillance is one such significant application. Surveillance with automatic human detection and event understanding is a faster and smart solution for today's surveillance. There have been a number of techniques which can be utilized for achieving human detection in an image or video. Each...
This paper presents the comparison of the MPC and PID control in compact hydro distillation process. Both of PID controllers and MPC undergone the performances of controller tests such as set point, set point change and load disturbances. The comparative performances of MPC and PID controllers (PIDCC and PIDZN) were evaluated and analysed based on transient responses performance and also in term of...
A compact and sensitive AC magnetometer is developed for evaluation of magnetic nanoparticles solution. The developed AC magnetometer consists of two main parts; excitation and detection coil systems. A Helmholtz coil configuration was used as the excitation coil to ensure a high homogeneity of excitation magnetic field. To reduce AC resistance due to eddy current effect in the wire of the excitation...
With the advent of cloud computing more and more IT and business organizations are migrating to cloud for its entrancing features of computing and storage infrastructure. At the same, security, privacy of cloud computing is not at satisfactory level. To make things worse, clouds inherent nature brought new set of security issues. Specially, the cloud storage causes dilemma between two important factors:...
Technology nowadays is growing very rapidly, so many systems have been digitized. Most of the digitization of this system leads to the development of web-based systems, it's also combined with embedded systems, to create a system called Web of Things. Besides, digitalization will be very useful if applied to the public service system, one of which is the queuing system. In this research, we are making...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are spread everywhere throughout the world and are ordinarily used to gather physical data from the encompassing scene. WSN play a focal part in the Internet of Things (IoT) vision. WSN is rising as a noticeable component in the middleware connecting together the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Web of Things (WoT). But the integration of WSN to WoT brings new challenges...
This research describes skin disease recognition by using neural network which based on the texture analysis. There are many skin diseases which have a lot of similarities in their symptoms, such as Measles (rubeola), German measles (rubella), and Chickenpox etc. In general, these diseases have similarities in pattern of infection and symptoms such as redness and rash. Diagnosis and recognition of...
Traffic light congestion normally occurs in urban areas where the number of vehicles is too many on the road. This problem drives the need for innovation and provide efficient solutions regardless this problem. Smart system that will monitor the congestion level at the traffic light will be a new option to replace the old system which is not practical anymore. Implementing internet of thinking (IoT)...
This paper presents a representation of land cover from a popular low spatial resolution of remote sensing image, MODIS 250 m. The spatial resolution of the MODIS image is enhanced using super-resolution mapping to a resolution that is equal to resolution of Landsat ETM+, which is 30 m. Two super-resolution mapping techniques, Hopfleld neural network and pixel swapping are used to represent the land...
