ANALYTICS AND DATA SCIENCE APPLIED TO THE TRAJECTORY OUTLIER DETECTION

Print
Nowadays, logistics for transportation and distribution of merchandise are a key element to increase the competitiveness of companies. However, the election of alternative routes outside the panned routes causes the logistic companies to provide a poor-quality service, with units that endanger the appropriate deliver of merchandise and impacting negatively the way in which the supply chain works. This paper aims to develop a module that allows the processing, analysis and deployment of satellite information oriented to the pattern analysis, to find anomalies in the paths of the operators by implementing the algorithm TODS, to be able to help in the decision making. The experimental results show that the algorithm detects optimally the abnormal routes using historical data as a base.

DESIGN OF MODIFIED SECOND ORDER SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER BASED ON ST ALGORITHM FOR BLOOD GLUCOSE REGULATION SYSTEMS

Print
The type1 of diabetes is a chronic situation characterized by abnormally high glucose levels in the blood. Persons with diabetes characterized by no insulin secretion in the pancreas (ß-cell) which also known as insulin-dependent diabetic Mellitus (IDDM). In order to keep the levels of glucose in blood near the normal ranges (70-110mg/dl), the diabetic patients needed to inject by external insulin from time to time. In this paper, a Modified Second Order Sliding Mode Controller (MSOSMC) has been developed to control the concentration of blood glucose levels under a disturbing meal. The parameters of the suggested design controller are optimized by using chaotic particle swarm optimization(CPSO) technique, the model which is used to represent the artificial pancreas is a minimal model for Bergman. The simulation was performed on a MATLAB/ SIMULINK to verify the performance of the suggested controller. The results showed the effectiveness of the proposed MSOSMC in controlling the behavior of glucose deviation to a sudden rise in blood glucose..

MEASURING PROPENSITY OF ONLINE PURCHASE BY USING THE TAM MODEL: EVIDENCE FROM ITALIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Print
This study aims to investigate the dynamics of online purchasing behavior through the analysis of a sample of students from Italy. The objective is twofold: firstly, to outline a descriptive picture of the type of relationship with the web and the use of the TAM model to highlight the propensity to use electronic commerce by the analyzed sample. An interesting evidence is the prevalence of using the Internet for social activities rather than for purchases. In fact, the propensity to purchase online is still very limited and mainly concerns cultural and tourist services rather than physical products. Mobile devices are the main devices for connecting students to the Web and, consequently, the most used for purchasing online.

A CUSTOMER-CENTRIC APPLICATION FOR A CINEMA HOUSE

Print
Imagine a cinema with different branches and because of diverse regions, there may be a need to have different services for such regions. Uniformity is needed for systems like this. In this research, we developed a customer-centric online booking system for a cinema house called FLOW Inc. We used Hypertext Mark-Up Language, Cascading Style Sheet and JavaScript for the front end and MySQL database as the back end; and PHP as the scripting language. The system was implemented using the XAMPP package and Apache as the server. It was successfully tested on a computer system with a 4GB RAM and a CORE i5 processor with a processor speed of 2.16GHz.

FUZZY CONTROLLER OF MODEL REDUCTION DISTILLATION COLUMN WITH MINIMAL RULES

Print
In this paper the control of a binary distillation column is described. This control is done with fuzzy logic, one with PI- like fuzzy controller and the other with modified PI fuzzy controller, using the minimal rules for fuzzy processing. This work is focused on model reduction of Wood and Berry binary distillation column to get the best performance. It is desired to minimize the rules in order to reduce the computation time to make a faster decision. Comparisons will be made between two versions of fuzzy controllers utilizing reduced rules to verify the outputs. The controlled variables are top composition with high concentration and bottom composition with low. To demonstrate the performance of the fuzzy PI control schemes, results are compared with a classical PI controller and optimal methods, like Differential Evolution (DE), Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO).The proposed structure is able to quickly track the parameter variation and perform better in load disturbances and also for set point changes. Then all the processes of the distillation column with it? s fuzzy controllers are simulated in MATLAB software as the results are shown.

EVALUATION OF ROBOTIC CLEANING TECHNOLOGIES: PRESERVING A BRITISH ICONIC BUILDING

Print
The engineering building of the University Leicester built-in 1963 has been a British icon for decades now. Applications of Robotic technologies are uprising nowadays, which provides a contingency to manipulate the benefits of robotics for executing challenging and precarious facade cleaning processes. This paper surveys the facade cleaning robotic technologies exist in the market. It exhibits the comparative analysis of four notorious robotic facade cleaning solutions namely Sky Pro, Gekko, BFMR (Building Façade Maintenance Robot) and Sirius_c. The comparison is executed using Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) techniques. This study analyses the performance of the robots based on the critical parameters such as water consumption, cleaning efficiency, cleaning dimensions and ease of implementation. Although none of these robotic solutions are implemented off the shelf, some adaptation on these solutions is necessary for the development of robotic techniques work successfully in real time. This paper proposes a hybrid robotic solution combining the vacuum pump adhesion and wheeled locomotion for the effective cleaning of the complex external building structure based on the MCDA and QFD analysis. It highlights the significant future research directions in this field.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF MASSIVE MIMO SYSTEM

Print
This article examines the performance of massive MIMO uplink system over Rician fading channel. The performance is estimated regarding spectral efficiency versus number of base station antennas utilizing three plans of linear detection, maximum-ratio-combining (MRC), zero forcing receiver (ZF), and minimum mean-square error receiver (MMSE). The simulation results reveal that the spectral efficiency increments altogether with expanding the quantity of base station antennas. Additionally, the spectral efficiency with MMSE is superior to that with ZF, and the last is superior to that with MRC. Furthermore, the spectral efficiency diminishes with expanding the fading parameter.
