A hydroponics plant can grow healthily with sufficient nutrient, temperature, light, humidity as well as pH level that is indeed vital in ensuring the plants will absorb maximum nutrient elements required. This paper presents automated monitoring and controlling pH levels for the hydroponic cultivation technique. In this study, automated monitoring and controlling of pH levels are developed specifically for the hydroponic cultivation technique. There are three main methods that involved in the development of the system namely hardware, programming and functionality test. Firstly, users need to set the maximum and minimum pH levels as required by the plant. Then, the pH sensor will monitor the real-time pH level of the water. A syringe pump that contains a pH up solution (alkaline) and a pH down solution (acid) will drip the solutions to neutralize the water content if the water pH level is not within the stated ranges as set by the user. Results showed that the automated monitoring and controlling pH levels were successfully developed and functionality was tested and confirmed as desired. The syringe pumps responded perfectly upon changes of the water pH value based on the validation done that showed 100% accuracy of the syringe pump responds.

In this paper, the power system state estimation (SE) problem is formulated as a general non-linear programming problem with equality constraints and boundary limits on the state variables. The proposed SE problem is solved using an evolutionary based Artificial Fish Swarm Optimization Algorithm (AFSOA). The AFSOA is a global search algorithm based on the characteristics of fish swarm and its autonomous model. The detailed algorithm with its flow chart is presented in this paper. To show the effectiveness of the proposed SE approach, six bus test system is considered. The obtained results are compared with other algorithms reported in the literature.

The development of fully autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) plays a major contribution towards reducing the risk to human life in various applications including rescue teams, border patrol, police and inspection of buildings, pipelines, coasts, and terrains. Tiltrotor hybrid UAV exhibit special application value due to its unique rotor structure. The variation in the model dynamics and aerodynamics due to the tilting rotors are the major key issues and challenges which attracted the attention of many researchers. This vehicle combines the hovering capabilities of a helicopter along with the high-speed cruise capabilities of a conventional airplane by tilting its four rotors. In the present research work, the authors attempt to model a quad tilt rotor UAV using Newton-Euler formulation. A dynamic model of the vehicle is derived mathematically for horizontal, vertical and transition flight modes. A robust H-infinity control strategy is proposed, evaluated and analyzed through simulation to control the flight dynamics of the different modes of the UAV. Simulation results shows that the tiltrotor UAV achieves transition successfully.

This paper presents the physical and optical properties of AZO thin films on Teflon substrate at low deposition temperature by spray pyrolysis. In this study, the effect of different process parameters such as spray time and substrate to nozzle distance on the physical and optical characteristic of aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) deposited on Teflon substrates was investigated. The AZO thin films were successfully deposited onto Teflon substrate by spray pyrolysis technique at low deposition temperature. The physical analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that the deposited Teflon substrate films have a preferred orientation along the direction (100) and (101). Optical measurements were conducted using Jasco/V-670 Ex Uv-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer model to confirms that in visible ray it is possible to get good reflectance of AZO films with a reflection of 80%. The values of band gaps Eg were calculated from the spectra of UV-Visible reflectance that were vary between 3.06 and 3.14 eV.

This paper presents the ability of the fuzzy logic-based stabilizer used to generate the supplementary voltage control signal of the SVC to improve the damping of the inter-area mode oscillation in the power system. The base system is symmetrical, consisting of two identical areas connected by a relatively weak tie line. The SVC is chosen to be installed at the tie line midpoint. The active power of the local line will be used as an input signal for the stabilizer. The additional signal is calculated using fuzzy membership function to determine the quantity of reactive power supplied absorbed by SVC. The system oscillation is indicated by a 3-phase-to-ground short circuit occurring at 0.2s of the simulation and subsequently clearing after 100ms. Simulation with the sample power system shows that when subjected to a disturbance, fuzzy logic-based SVC stabilizer provides good damping in inter-area mode oscillation for the system. The effectiveness of the stabilizer applied with and without PSS will also be investigated.

The purpose of this empirical study was to examine e-health readiness, acceptance and use in hospitals and health centers in Ethiopia. In this study, 900 samples were taken using a simple random sampling method from 10 Hospitals and 20 health centers in northwestern Ethiopia. SmartPls software was used for the structural equation modeling and path analysis techniques. All of the e-health readiness indicators, except employees’ attitudes showed that hospitals and health centers were not ready to implement and use e-health systems. The intentions of users to accept and use e-health systems were evaluated and determinants were identified. Service quality from the technological factors, self-efficacy from the human factors and user training from the organizational factors were found to be significant determinants of user satisfaction, individual performance, and organizational performance respectively. Major determinants were an organizational performance with a contribution of 37.6% influence followed by an individual performance with 28.2% contribution (together accounted for about 65.8% influence) of the users’ behavioral intentions to use e-health systems. The model, which explained 47.6 % of the variances in the data, was found to be significant.

In oil and gas industry, productivity is very important as the industry involves high cost and can be considered as a large-scale industry. Therefore, time and budget should be kept minimal to avoid loss to the oil and gas company. An example of lack of productivity in the industry is there are many complaints in the oil and gas industry that welders do not perform their job on time. Therefore, this project discussed about a system that can be used to monitor these welding stations. This system is important because it can help supervisors track the welding works from afar or anywhere using internet of things (IoT). To achieve that, a system must consist of hardware and software that are capable of connecting to the internet and monitor the welding works. In this project, the hardware chosen were Arduino Uno for data processing, ESP8266 to connect the microcontroller to the internet, voltage sensor to detect the voltage of the welding machine and a website to show the data taken. Other than that, this system was able to warn the welder of overvoltage of the welding machine. Thus, the system solved the problem of welders not performing their job on time. Supervisors were also able to monitor the job of welders to ensure maximum productivity. Based on the testing done on the system, the prototype was able to work as intended. The welding station monitoring system was able to detect welding usage, measure voltage values of welding and send the data to IoT for monitoring.

Water quality monitoring is always the prior element to ensure the drinking water is safe to be consumed. A lot of researches have been carried out over the past decades to design and develop a robust and cost-effective water monitoring system. The conventional water monitoring techniques were based on laboratory instruments which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, it is not suitable when the water sampling point is far from the commercial laboratory centres. These limitations were then been solved by the developments of portable testing kits and microwave technique. The microwave techniques such as spectroscopy techniques and microwave sensor approach have improved the water quality monitoring experience which is convenient without sacrificing the measurement accuracy and sensitivity. Its portability enables the on-site measurement at rural areas and thus reduce the transportation and manpower cost. This paper intends to review the water contaminant detection techniques which include standardized drinking water parameter testing and microwave-based in terms of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Furthermore, this review also emphasizes the current trend of the water quality testing method in microwave technique. At the end of this paper, a significant advantages and drawbacks of the techniques are summarized, and recommendations are provided for future development in the water quality monitoring.

The initialization stage12 of a Soft Computing (SC) algorithm is vital as it affects the success rate of algorithms in solving multi-peak global optimization problems. The individuals in an initial population, which are known as search agents, are often generated randomly using pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) due to unavailability of prior information on the location of global peak (GP). The random nature of the generated search agents causes uneven distribution of the initial population over the search space (SS), which may lead the search towards unpromising regions from the very beginning. This paper proposes a new deterministic initialization method (DIM) for SC algorithms where search agents are evenly fixed in the SS by using a simple deterministic formulation. The performance of the proposed DIM is then compared to the conventional PRNG and more recent quasi-random number generator (QRNG). An optimization case study is carried out using two popular SC algorithms which are the Particle Swarm Algorithm (PSO) and the Evolutionary Programming (EP), and three relatively new SC algorithms which are the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), the Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO), and the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA). The optimization is done on various one-dimensional (1D) benchmark functions, as well as practical problems such as partial shading condition (PSC). Simulation results show that the proposed DIM successfully improved the performance of each SC algorithm under study in solving almost all tested functions with 99% success rate compared to 88.7% and 80.2% for the QRNG and PRNG approaches respectively. Furthermore, the WOA is the most reliable and robust among the five SC techniques under study with a success
