Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA New Approach to a Self-Organizing Federation of MQTT BrokersNicolas Kolling Ribas, Marco Aurélio SpohnIn the Publish/Subscribe (PS) communication paradigm clients producing content (i.e., publishers) send it to a broker, which relays the content to consumers (i.e., subscribers). Communication can happen asynchronously, leaving all the hurdles to the server/broker. MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is the most used P/S protocol in designing IoT applications. The usual MQTT scenario comprises a single broker, making it a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 7 · 29 Jul 2022 · 6,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Study to Assess the SkooolTM Healthcare Education Program Among Midwifery Students of the Koforidua Nursing and Midwifery Training CollegeAugustine Kumah, Nicholas Adzaho, Hillary Selassi Nutakor et al.The SkooolTM Healthcare Education program came because of an identified need for improving the quality of pre-service education in Ghana. This was inspired by a desire to tackle the high failure rate of midwifery licensing examinations. The program was piloted in six nursing and midwifery schools. To broaden and reinforce lessons taught and learned in the classroom and skills labs, … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2021 · 8,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIterative Feedforward Control for Bearing-Free Multibody SystemsNicola Y. Bailey, Christopher Lusty, Patrick S. KeoghAutomated machinery and robotics are commonly conventional multibody systems containing bearing components, which exhibit uncertain, discontinuous and complex tribological characteristics. These generate wear and fundamentally limit the precision of small scale motion due to the tribological effects being difficult to compensate for using model-based active control. However, they can be eliminated through the replacement of traditional bearing joints with flexure … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2021 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Econometric Analysis of Home Field Advantage in the World’s Largest Sports: Pre and Post COVID-19 OutbreakNazmul Islam, Peter LeRoux, Nicholas CorreiaThe purpose of this study is to measure the home field advantage across sports and within sports. The study also sets forth an analysis of the soccer games played in empty stadiums during the COVID-19 pandemic. We measure whether there is any difference between playing in front of fans and without fans: Something that has not been captured before. We … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2021 · 8,100 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Brief Review of the Latest Advances of Attapulgite as a Reinforcing Agent in Polymer Matrix NanocompositesThais Ferreira da Silva, Gabriel Portilho Monteiro de Souza, Guilherme Ferreira de Melo Morgado et al.The development of polymeric nanocomposites using clay minerals as a Nano filler is of great interest to researchers and industry. Many clay minerals are used to modify the properties of the polymers; this strategy improves the thermal and mechanical performance and changes the surface finishing and the processing characteristics. The Attapulgite (ATP), which is a clay mineral of the hydrated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2021 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGenetic Diversity and Drug Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolates and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Identification from Presumptive Tuberculosis Cases in Oaxaca, MexicoNakamura-Lopez Yuko, Valencia-Carmona Oscar Daniel, Martinez-Cruz Perla Monica et al.Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging health problem worldwide. In Mexico, information about genetic diversity and drug resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex (MTBc) is limited. Samples from 463 Presumptive TB cases were tested for TB by smear, culture and PCR, from which 19.2% were identify as MTBc and 16% as nontuberculous mycobacteria. MTBc isolates were characterized by Large Sequence Polymorphisms (LSPs), … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2020 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Energy of the Sea Must Begin to be Massively ExtractedNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe present paper is intended to be a plea for the extraction of energy from the seas and oceans because this energy is very large quantity from an objective point of view and in addition it is clean, renewable and sustainable, friendly and totally non-dangerous, being a very high energy which it is permanently lost, energy from which if we … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 21 Oct 2019 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPermanent Magnetic FluidsNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuA team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has accidentally obtained the first magnetized permanent liquid in the world, the droplets of this liquid moving in unison and able to associate in different forms while being manipulated exterior by means of a magnet, according to a new study published in the latest issue of the journal Science, reports … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 22 Aug 2019 · 8,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEnergy Sources TodayNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper intends to go through some major energy sources that need to be further developed in order to provide the energy needed for an indefinite period of time. It is proposed that both water and solar energy, as well as wind energy together with nuclear energy, are important, but other modern energy sources capable of generating energy directly or … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 21 Aug 2019 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn IoT based House Intruder Detection and Alert System using Histogram of Oriented GradientsNico Surantha, Wingky R. WicaksonoThis research aims to design and implement a home security system with human detection capability. Traditional home security systems, i.e., Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) can only capture and record videos without the ability of giving warning feedback if there is any suspicious object. Therefore, an additional object detection and warning method is required. The proposed design is implemented using Raspberry Pi … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 8 Aug 2019 · 9,216 accessesView PDFCite
