Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Magnetic Wheel Adhesion Force for Climbing RobotHaydn Welch, Shyamal MondalThis paper describes the aim of designing, building and testing magnetic wheel based an autonomous climbing robot, for use in conjunction with Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection on vertical towers. Through extensive review of previous generations of climbing robot, a hybrid wheel and permanent magnetic adhesion system has been designed and discussed in this paper. Using mathematical modelling and Finite Element … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2019 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Optimization of Gradient Tree Boosting Using Dragonfly Algorithm in Crime Forecasting and AnalysisAlif Ridzuan Khairuddin, Nor Azizah Ali, Razana Alwee et al.Crime forecasting and analysis are very important in predicting future crime patterns and beneficial to the authorities in planning effective crime prevention measures. One of the challenges found in crime analysis is the crime data itself as its form, representation and distribution are varied and unpredictable. To handle such data, most researchers have been focusing on applying various Artificial Intelligence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 7 Aug 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Prescriptive Specialized Learning Management System for Academic Feedback towards Improved LearningAnnette van der Merwe, Tiny du Toit, Hennie KrugerThe dynamic nature of technological advances is causing changes in many fields and especially in tertiary education. Student numbers are increasing annually and institutions need to maintain education quality whilst ensuring student retention. A specialized learning management system (SLMS) was developed in this study that provides students with comprehensive feedback which will enable them to better manage their academic performance. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 24 Oct 2018 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Standard Statistical Distributions for Modeling Glass FractureDavid Kinsella, Johan Lindström, Kent PerssonExperimental data on the strength of new annealed float glass tested in an ambient environment was collected. A comparison was made between four standard distributions, the normal, lognormal, Gumbel and Weibull, with respect to the performance in modelling the strength. The Weibull distribution outperformed the normal and lognormal distributions when the data contained edge only failure origins. When the data … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractKnowledge Acquisition of Existing Buildings by Means of Diagnostic Surveying. Case StudiesGiovanna Concu, Nicoletta Trulli, Monica ValdésThe issue of assessing the structural safety of existing buildings involves several problems when a unique and reliable strategy of modelling and analyzing is looked for. This is mainly related to the peculiarity of each construction in a context of broad variety. In this light the structural model and consequently the judgment on structural safety should be derived from a … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRental Estimation of Reverse Mortgages (RM): The Case of Home as Rental in RetirementGurudeo Anand Tularam, Ali Abdullah Al IbrahimThe aim of this paper was to compare the rental market conditions in retirement with an RM contract that involves a retiree’s home and its valuation. It is noted that the current rental market conditions are to be examined thoroughly before any engagement in RM is to be instituted. The rental value per week for 1, 2-Bedroom Units and 3 … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
