Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Hybrid Power Module for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks: Towards a Livestock Tracking and Identification SystemMolaletsa Namoshe, Oduetse Matsebe, Obakeng MaphaneSmart technology and Internet of Things (IoT) applications have gained popularity in the development of agricultural systems with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) increasingly becoming the building blocks for IoT applications. However, WSNs have a limited power supply. As a result, these systems have a short lifespan, limited memory and low computing power. This paper describes the development of a hybrid … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2017 · 7,772 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Power Uprate in Nuclear Power PlantsAlejandro Nuñez-Carrera, Ana Lidia Carreño-Padilla, Erick Gilberto Espinosa-Martínez, Raúl Camargo-CamargoThe three main strategies used by the utilities in order to obtain more benefits from the nuclear installations focused on electricity production and in order to satisfy their demand without carbon dioxide emissions are: (1) Power uprate, (2) plant life management and (3) plant life extension. Alone in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved more than 140 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2017 · 7,603 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInventory Models with Power Demand and Inventory-Induced Demand with Holding Cost FunctionsRakesh Prakash Tripathi, Sarla Pareek, Manjit KaurIn real life customers are motivated to buy more if there is more availability of product. In this study, we develop inventory model for inventory dependent demand with different holding cost function. Mathematical formulations are discussed for two situations i.e., power demand rate with inventory dependent holding cost functions and inventory-induced demand rate with time and inventory dependent holding cost … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 6 Apr 2017 · 7,544 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Permutation Test for Comparing Two Correlated Receiver Operating Characteristic CurvesOkeh Uchechukwu Marius, Onyeagu SidneyThe area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) is a summary measure when comparing two ROC curves. However, this summary measure is less informative when two ROC curves cross and have the same AUCs. In order to detect differences between ROC curves and to be able to tackle the problem of exchangeability of the labels between two diagnostic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 May 2020 · 8,132 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneralized Statistical Inference for Quantiles of Two-Parameter Gamma DistributionMalwane AnandaGamma distribution is a widely used distribution to analyze data in many disciplines such as hydrology, meteorology, environmental monitoring, lifetime testing and reliability. In this study, we look at the statistical inference for the quantiles of two-parameter gamma distribution. The testing and estimation of gamma quantile are required especially in areas such as flood frequency analysis and life testing. For … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2024 · 5,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeveraging COBIT 2019 to Measure the Accounting Software Implementation in High Schools for Better TransparencyJennifer Felicia, Johanes Fernandes Andry, Fransiskus Adikara et al.Technology is a tool that is always used in every human life today. Technology cannot just be used; technology must also be studied to find out whether it has played a good role or not. The research was conducted on business processes in secondary schools where the importance of technology is often underestimated, even though technology in schools also has … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2024 · 6,508 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractLoad Balancing Technique Based on Broadcasting and Residual Energy Using Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Protocol (LBEACH)Abdullah Soliman Alshraa, Venus Wazeer SamawiOne of the important factors of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is sensors lifetime. Elongating sensors lifetime increases the benefits from the network capabilities as much as possible. To elongate WSNs lifetime, power consumption should be reduced. To do so, load balance technique is applied to distribute the energy consumption among cluster’s nodes in the WSN. In each cluster, the node … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 13 Oct 2015 · 6,614 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWelded Connections of Wind Turbine Towers under Fatigue Loading: Finite Element Analysis and Comparative StudyNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosIncreased contemporary energy needs have led to multiple investments on wind power plants and structural improvements are considered necessary for the construction of taller, more robust and more economical structures. Tubular steel wind turbine towers that are the prevailing structural configuration, demand welding of circular subparts to construct the tower structure. These circumferential welds between tower subparts and between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Aug 2015 · 8,899 accessesView PDF Cite
