It provides the necessary water requirement for the whole farm. But it is necessary for the irrigation system to be efficient, especially in providing the optimal distribution of available water resources. Also, since the water from an irrigation system will come from an underground reservoir, it requires electrical water pump to collect water. In a smart farm, proper allocation of resources is required. In order to control the usage of water resources for irrigation, this paper proposes the design of an automated organic irrigation system in controlling and properly allocating the available water resources for the irrigation system and available electricity for the use of the pump. Experiments through MATLAB simulation were done using a proposed system to achieve the optimum water and electrical resource distribution.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128436368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the result of the interaction of the user, system, and context. Measuring UX is important for the purpose of having a good product or service. User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) is one of the tools in measuring UX. It has six scales or attributes to be measured namely: attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, and novelty with twenty six (26) items in total. The goal of the study is to determine the UX of the web services for the students using UEQ. In the study, the researcher used the Misamis University Online Learning Environment (MUOLE) and My Misamis University (MyMU). There were 300 respondents who rated the two websites. It was found out that both web services gained positive UX scores on attractiveness, efficiency, perspicuity, dependability, and stimulation. However, novelty is neutral. Moreover, the results of the study provide additional ideas to the future development of the two systems.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116595281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BOF slag was also able to raise the pH of the effluent from 2.5 to 6.8 after 30 mins. The adsorption of Fe and Zn followed Langmuir isotherm and first order kinetics. The metal loaded BOF slag could be used in three cycles of adsorption experiments and was stable against further leaching. This research therefore provides opportunity for the utilisation of the slag as an adsorbent for acidic industrial effluents containing heavy metals.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126732273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wind regime at the site was evaluated by determining the Weibull parameters, annual mean wind speed, turbulence intensity and predicted annual energy yield. The Weibull parameters were calculated using different statistical estimation methods to predict the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of wind regime. The analytical results were compared with the numerical output obtained from commercial software such as WAsP. WAsP and Windfarmer were also used to perform numerical calculation that generates an observed wind climate report and to predict the annual net energy production at the site. Calculation results revealed that the site is suitable for Germanischer Lloyd (GL) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Class II wind turbine generator with characteristic turbulence intensity at reference height according to GL and IEC Subclass B. It was also found that the estimated annual energy production of wind farm based on the proposed turbine arrangement is ranging from 96.2 GWh to 98 GWh using WAsP and Windfarmer softwares, respectively.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127040377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"MFCC and VQ voice recognition based ATM security for the visually disabled","authors":"Ericson D. Dimaunahan, A. Ballado, F. Cruz, J. D. dela Cruz","doi":"10.1109/HNICEM.2017.8269516","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/HNICEM.2017.8269516","url":null,"abstract":"A biometrie based automatic teller machine which works with a two-tier security using voice and fingerprint recognition can help users which are visually challenged, allowing them to use the machine using only their biometric characteristics. An automated teller machine (ATM) requires a user to pass an identity test using their PIN before doing any financial transactions. The current method available for access control in ATM is based on cards and pins which increases the issues of unauthorized access on accounts via card skimming. It is eminently difficult to avoid another person from attaining and using someone else's card also regular smartcards can be lost, duplicated, stolen or falsified with accuracy. Another concern is the accessibility of ATM to differently abled people. These concerns can be overcome by using fingerprint recognition for authentication, as discussed from the researchers' previous study, and by adding up an additional voice recognition system feature as discussed on this paper. The four fingerprint sample patterns of an individual are completely separate and uncorrelated. The action of fingerprint recognition involves pre-processing, feature extraction and minutiae matching. Matching is done by comparing the user's fingerprint with the existing fingerprint database, images which were acquired at the time of opening an account in the bank account. Once the fingerprint of the user passes the authentication procedures of the system the user is now able to carry out further transactions using voice-based commands by speaking through a microphone. This model not only provides security but also accessibility to certain sections of the population like people with visual impairment and eye disabilities. The system uses biometric based user recognition. The authenticity of the account will be checked by the input of the user's fingerprint, this will then allow further transaction via voice recognition that implements a MFCC, DWT and VQ to continue. ATM users are identified by the lowest VQ distortion of each voice input. Out of 50 different legitimate user trials, 42 tries were identified while 8 legitimate user tries were denied of access in the system producing 84% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122217637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, a robust and efficient handwritten signature verification system still plays a key role in data security. This study presents the use of SVM, both one-class (OC-SVm) and bi-class (BC-SVM) to be used in signature verification. The experiment was conducted with random respondents who were asked to write their identical genuine signatures and forge signatures of another respondent. The collected images were then subjected to image processing to fine tune the features of the signature before subjecting the image to feature extraction. Feature extraction was carried out by zoning, rather than as a whole, to determine the features precisely. There were two verification system models trained and tested using the regional and geometrical feature vectors, the BC-SVM and OC-SVM model. The study resulted with high accuracy performance in verifying the signatures with low False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Recognition Rate percentage (FRR).","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123996978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, additives particularly admixtures introduced in the production of SCC to enhance some specific properties of fresh and hardened concrete may contribute to undesirable effects on the workability performance. In this study, superplasticizers blended with Accelerating and Air entraining admixtures were used in the mix and were tested for Slump Flow, V-Funnel, L-Box, U-Box, and Screen Stability tests to determine its influence on the rheological properties of SCC. Based on the results of the study, air entrainer provided microscopic bubbles acting as ball bearings between aggregates offering desirable effect in the workability of SCC. The highest dosage of 5.0% superplasticizers provided the best results in all the tests due to the dispersibility effect in the mixture causing a reduction in flow resistance. The accelerating admixture made SSC less susceptible to segregation, while the additive produced fresh concrete with lower flowability due to the rapid hydration and early strength development in the concrete. Among the two admixtures used, the air entrainer blended with 3.7% superplasticizer exhibited the best performance in all workability tests.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124301665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
