Rain rate and Rain Attenuation predictions are important in radio system operating at Ku and Ka bands as they affect telecommunication systems performance. To adequately estimate rain-induced attenuation and fading, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommends use of rainfall data collected using 1-minute integration time. For Tanzania, no rainfall data with 1-minute integration time is available either through measurements or conversion from rainfall data with longer integration time. In this paper the rain attenuation is predicted for seven locations in the coastal area of Tanzania. The 1- minute rainfall rate is determined by Chebil’s model using long-term measurements from Tanzania Metrological Agency (TMA) collected for a period of forty years, results obtained are used to estimate rain attenuations. By using the International Telecommunication Union-Recommendation (ITU-R) model, rain attenuation is predicted at horizontal polarization at Ku and Ka band. The results show that Unguja has the highest average annual rainfall accumulation with rain attenuation as high as ~53.22dB for Ka band and ~15.14dB for Ku band making the difference of about 38.08 between the two frequency bands. On the other hand, Kibaha which has the lowest average annual rainfall accumulation along the coast has rain attenuation of ~47.27dB for Ka and ~13.41dB for Ku bands, making the difference of 33.86dB between the frequency bands. Results obtained from this study can be useful in designing earth-satellite microwave links in the coastal area of Tanzania.

There is an increasing focus on utilizing the renewable energy resources, especially solar energy as the fossils are expected to deplete in near future. Solar Photovoltaics have remained of particular interest because of their relative lower overall efficiencies .Most researchers are trying to enhance the overall performance of Solar Photovoltaic and trying to study factor that may possible lead to an increase in the overall performance of a Solar Photovoltaic Panels. A thorough investigation was carried out to study the influence of solar power and solar flux on the performance parameters of Photovoltaic (Polycrystalline). The data used in the research was obtained by in-situ measurement approach using an SM206 precision digital solar power meter, a digital solar flux meter, and an M890C+ digital Multimeter. The result obtained shows an interesting correlation for current, efficiency and solar power as well as for solar flux which indicates that high solar power and solar flux positively enhances the performance of the photovoltaic. The results also reveal that once the solar power or solar flux reaching the photovoltaic exceeds 200W/m2 or 20Klux, the voltage from the photovoltaic approaches maximum and remains fairly stable irrespective of the amount of solar power or solar flux reaching the photovoltaic. The data collected for three months, July, August and September shows prediction efficiency of 87 %, 63% and 71% at 11:30am, 12:30 pm and 10:30 am respectively.

Faults in any components of PV system shall lead to performance degradation and if prolonged, it can leads to fire hazard. This paper presents an approach of early fault detection via acquired historical data sets of grid-connected PV (GCPV) systems. The approach is a developed algorithm comprises of failure detection on AC power by using Acceptance Ratio (AR) determination. Specifically, the implemented failure detection stage was based on the algorithm that detected differences between the actual and predicted AC power of PV system. Furthermore, the identified alarm of system failure was a decision stage which performed a process based on developed logic and decision trees. The results obtained by comparing two types of GCPV system (polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon PV system), showed that the developed algorithm could perceive the early faults upon their occurrence. Finally, when applying AR to the PV systems, the faulty PV system demonstrated 93.38 % of AR below 0.9, while the fault free PV system showed only 31.4 % of AR below 0.9.

Evolutionary Programming (EP) is one of many types in Evolutionary Computation (EC) that used for optimization process. EP technique is used to find the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) since it is one of the accessible options schemes that can be used on the system as a reactive power support. Sometimes, it is not necessary to operate all generators in order to perform ORPD to in achieve the objectives. Also, increment of reactive power load to the system will cause voltage decomposes with the increase in transmission loss in the system. Therefore, the proposed method decides the best grouping of generators that should be operated in system by bearing in mind the transmission loss reduction. ORPD will be used to minimize the transmission loss as well the increasing reactive power loading. This method conducted on IEEE 30-bus Test System with multi cases scenario. The best combination of operating generators determined and the transmission loss after optimization is smaller compared to the transmission loss before optimization resulted.

Locating files in an exact time is considered one of the greatest problems and the tedious process in universities nowadays. This problem becomes greater when the university has a large number of departments and transactions, as well as the documents are moving from one department to another. Especially, developing countries that have many problems and unstable environment and that may lead to lost or damage the important documents that influence on the decision making. Furthermore, the traditional manner not only wasted the time and energy, but also the paper cost for printing copies of required file. And with the advancement of technology and the increase of Internet users, documents are still being sent in Iraqi universities manually between departments. Although the higher education and scientific research ministry was recommended the public universities for using modern technologies during the daily transactions between the departments or amongst the units. Therefore, this study sought to design and evaluate the prototype system which tracks movements of the documents from one department to another as well as check the completion rate for each department. For providing opportunities to assess how well the use of e-file tracking system meets the needs of management units in universities. The systems implementation research notes the need to fit between tasks, technologies and users. Thus, this empirical study utilized the task technology fit model for this purpose. The results from selected participants indicated that all the factors significant effect on the employee’s performance in E-file Tracking System, excepted, task characteristics. This study will be contributed to reduce the corruption and enhance the transparency and help the decision-makers make the right decision at the right time.

An experiment has been carried out to prove the practicality of converting the waste heat from PV panels into electrical energy by observing the temperature levels and distribution of a conventional monocrystalline silicon (Mono c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) panels for photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator (PV-TEG) hybrid application of a Hybrid Agrivoltaic (HAV) Greenhouse System project. From the observation, highest temperature of the PV backside panel surface reached 81.1°C during solar noon and expected to reach even higher during hot season. The highest power output from the 160 numbers TEG modules in series and parallel configuration were calculated to reach 119 Watt during that time at ΔT 56.1 °C. This output is expected to fluctuate over the weather temperature fluctuation throughout the day. Meanwhile, for the heat distribution, it is best to apply the TEG arrays with optimized PV angle setup, where the temperature seems to be distributed evenly at all time, to provide optimum heat source to the TEG modules. It was concluded that the excess heat from the bottom surface of PV panels can be utilize by converting the heat via temperature differential to harvest additional electrical energy by integrating TEG system, hence maximizing the potential of solar radiation capacity in generating clean renewable energy.

Intelligent systems are created to automate decision making process that is similar to human intelligence. Incorporating intelligent component has achieved promising results in many applications, including in education. Intelligence modules in a tutoring system would bring the application and its capability closer to a human's ability to serve its human users and to solve problems. However, the majority of the online learning provided in the literature review especially in Malaysia, normally only provide the lecture notes, assignments and tests and rarely suggest or give feedbacks on what the students should study or do next in order to fully understand the subjects. Hence, the researchers propose an online learning environment called Intelligent Online Assessment and Revision (I-OnAR). It facilitates the learning process at multiple learning phases such as test creation, materials revision, feedback for improvement and performance analysis. These components are incorporated into the tutoring system to assist self-pace learning at anytime and anywhere. The intelligent agent uses a Rule-based Machine Learning method for the adaptive capabilities such as automated test creation and feedbacks for improvement. The system has been tested on a group of students and found to be useful to support learning process. The results have shown that 60% of the subjects’ performance have improved with the help of the system. The students were given feedbacks on the topic they did poorly as well as how to improve their performance. This proves that the Intelligent Online Assessment and revision (I-OnAR) can be a useful tool to help online students intelligently, systematically and efficiently. For the future works, the researchers would like to apply the usage of other techniques such as Fuzzy Logic to strengthen the analysis and decision of the current system.

Although many equipments and techniques are available for plantar pressure analysis to study foot pressure distributions, there is still a need for mathematical modelling references to compare the acquired measurements. In order to derive formulas in this concern, this research proposes a measurement-based method which adopts the reference measured parameters such as; the weight of a subject, contact-area size, age, and the pressure level distribution over a plantar image captured by the EMED plantar pressure system. The proposed analysis and algorithm were verified by a group 79 volunteers through data collection with four various measurement conditions. Three mathematical modelling equations have been proposed that describe the relationships between the foot plantar pressure levels and the subject’s body mass, foot size, and age. The modelling of foot plantar pressure could be useful for various applications such as gait analysis, hospitals, clinics, custom shoe making, and early detection of ulceration in the case of diabetic patients.
