Abstract

In recent years, the demand for wireless body area network (WBAN) technology has increased, driven by advancements in medical and healthcare applications. WBAN consists of small, low-power, and heterogeneous sensor devices attached inside or outside the body for continuous health monitoring. Medium access control (MAC) is pivotal in addressing WBAN challenges by ensuring reliability and energy efficiency under a dynamic environment caused by body movement. Therefore, to tackle these challenges, this paper presents a MAC protocol based on time division multiple access (TDMA) to enhance the WBAN performance. The proposed TDMA-MAC protocol employs a one-periodic scheduled-based access method to provide reliable data transmission while satisfying the WBAN requirements. The proposed protocol is compared to the IEEE 802.15.6 MAC, enhanced packet scheduling algorithm MAC (EPSA-MAC), and concurrent MAC (C-MAC) protocols based on the performance metrics of packet delivery ratio (PDR), network throughput, energy consumption, and average delay. The simulation results show that the TDMA-MAC protocol outperforms its competitors as it could achieve up to 98% PDR, 30% enhanced throughput, 30% energy optimization, and 20% improvement in average delay.

Abstract

The prompt emphasizes the importance of identifying victims in a disaster area within 48 hours and highlights the potential benefits of using drones in search and rescue missions. However, the use of drones is limited by factors such as battery life, processing speed, and communication range. To address these limitations, the paper presents a detailed research study on the most effective flying pattern for drones during search and rescue missions. The study utilized energy consumption and coverage area as performance metrics and collected precise images that could be analyzed by the forensic team. The research was conducted using OMNET++ and fieldwork at Pulau Sebang, Melaka, in collaboration with search and rescue agencies in Malaysia. The results suggest that the square flying pattern is the most effective, as it provides the highest coverage area with reasonable energy utilization. Both simulation and fieldwork results showed coverage of 100% and 97.96%, respectively, for this pattern. Additionally, the paper provides technical specifications for rescue teams to use when deploying drones during search and rescue missions.

Abstract

Honey is produced exclusively by honeybees and stingless bees which both are well adapted to tropical and subtropical regions such as Malaysia. Stingless bees are known for producing small amounts of honey and are known for having a unique flavor profile. Problem identified that many stingless bees collapsed due to weather, temperature and environment. It is critical to understand the relationship between the production of stingless bee honey and environmental conditions to improve honey production. Thus, this paper presents a review on stingless bee's honey production and prediction modeling. About 54 previous research has been analyzed and compared in identifying the research gaps. A framework on modeling the prediction of stingless bee honey is derived. The result presents the comparison and analysis on the internet of things (IoT) monitoring systems, honey production estimation, convolution neural networks (CNNs), and automatic identification methods on bee species. It is identified based on image detection method the top best three efficiency presents CNN is at 98.67%, densely connected convolutional networks with YOLO v3 is 97.7%, and DenseNet201 convolutional networks 99.81%. This study is significant to assist the researcher in developing a model for predicting stingless honey produced by bee's output, which is important for a stable economy and food security.

Abstract

This review delves into the quest for optimal efficiency in the secondary cooling process of nuclear reactor water plant coolant systems. Modeling secondary cooling nuclear processes is hardly performed. Thus, Neural networks with traditional statistical methodologies are integrated to innovate a hybrid model to revolutionize nuclear reactor cooling systems' performance, reliability, and safety. A total of 63 indexed papers were reviewed in the nuclear field that analyzed critical research gaps, including the need for uncertainty modeling and resilience against external hazards. Insights into sensor technologies, data analytics, and real-time monitoring underscore the importance of continuous optimization and predictive maintenance were reviewed. A descriptive analysis for a month of sampling data was presented for the parameters of temperature for TT003 and TT004 and pressure for PT002 and PT003 of the secondary process. The confidence level of 95.0% is identified for the temperature and pressure parameters. The lowest standard error was recognized at 0.00032 and 0.01691, respectively. The review culminates with a forward-looking perspective, recognizing the pivotal role of hybrid machine learning models in shaping the future of secondary cooling processes for nuclear reactor water coolant plants to improve the efficiency and sustainability of nuclear reactor systems.

Abstract

QoS in computer networking is the capability to provide better service to network traffic over various technologies such as ethernet and IP networks. This paper presents a descriptive analysis of WAN flow control and internet traffic on a Metro-E campus network. Issues on network congestion and delay in network QoS where internet traffic is gradually increasing, resulting in bursts of network capacity that affect network QoS. The method implies 12 months data collection and analysis on protocol, bytes and packets inbound and correlation between parameters on the Metro-E 100 Mbps campus network. The result presents heavy-tailed distributions on an inbound packet kurtosis value of 347 and an outbound packet kurtosis value of 780. Bytes outbound and inbound are skewed at 122 and right at 17 respectively. The average amount of data inbound and outbound is 458.5 MB and 34.8 MB. Protocol 6 TCP presents the highest amount of -traffic and a weak positive correlation at 0.104 exists between the inbound and outbound packets and bytes on the network. The correlation coefficient's 95% confidence interval ranges between 0.096 and 0.111. This research is significant in the future deployment of traffic scheduling, policing, and shaping algorithms for QoS bandwidth management on the WAN Metro-E campus network.

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology developing recently. The technology of IoT allows users to communicate with controllers and sensors, which are widely used in the agricultural sector, such as farming and weather forecasts. Recently, it has been identified that traditional herbal home gardens are difficult to monitor where herbal plants are sensitive and need a proper monitor. This research has developed an IoT smart gardening for herbal plant systems that helps to analyze four herbal plant types: Aloe Barbadensis miller, Salvia Rosmarimus, Clinacanthus nutans, and Curcuma. The system was designed using a NodeMCU ESP32 controller, soil moisture sensor, and DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The collected data was monitored in real-time on the Blynk platform via mobile phones and web browsers on sunny and rainy days. The result shows that the highest temperature on a sunny day was captured at 30°C, and the lowest was 26°C. However, during a rainy day, the highest temperature captured is 28°C and the lowest was 24°C. The highest humidity percentage on a sunny day was 80%, and the lowest was 40%, while the highest humidity on a rainy day was 98%, and the lowest was 68%. The soil moisture data that captured the water content of the soil of each herbal plant on a sunny day has been lost due to high temperatures. However, each herbal plant barely lost its water content due to low temperature and high humidity percentage conditions. The comparison showed that temperature, humidity, and weather could affect the water content in the soil. This research has significantly improved the agriculture sector in monitoring herbal plants and moving from traditional planting with an IoT system concept.
