The proposed strategy employs sound signals to detect and distinguish starling birds within the vineyard environment. Through an analysis of audio inputs from the surroundings, the system can effectively recognize unique sound patterns associated with starling birds, utilizing deep learning techniques. Furthermore, this project incorporates ultrasonic sensors for distance estimation, enabling the calculation of the bird’s proximity from a fixed point within the vineyard. All of these detection and estimation processes are executed on a RP2040 microcontroller, specifically the Cortex-M0+ 133 MHz variant.

In Canada, they contribute to around 25% of the total final energy consumption. Notably, space heating emerges as the primary energy consumer, accounting for approximately 57% of energy utilization in institutional and commercial buildings. This paper presents a feasibility analysis of converting the space heating system of the Core Science Facility (CSF) building of Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). Analysis is done using RETScreen Clean Energy Management Software, known as RETScreen Expert, a software package developed by the Government of Canada, and the thermal modeling of the building using Energy3D, developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The feasibility study indicates that significant savings can be achieved if space heating is switched to electric resistive heating. The results indicate a 24.2% savings in annual energy costs, with a simple payback period of 10.5 years. The simulation results from Energy3D are compared with the measured building energy consumption data provided by the MUN Facilities Management Department. The thermal model indicates less energy consumption than the actual measured values, which is a result of transmission losses, the interconnection between the CSF building and the University Center, building occupancy, the ventilation system, and degradation of equipment that are not considered in the model.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":12001,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Engineering and Technology Research","volume":"14 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139964441","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 signal at this location is either nonexistent or too weak to be detected or monitored. There may sometimes be coverage gaps or places with poor radio frequency (RF) performance due to wireless infrastructure components’ inability to adapt to changing RF dynamics and offer adequate coverage of the locations. Finding coverage gaps and RF problem spots needs a client-side approach rather than the traditional infrastructure-driven solution because of the importance of network intuition. This article’s goal is to locate coverage gaps or weak signal places in a variety of scenarios, including 5G KPIs and QoS parameters (QCI, or quality of service class identifier). The primary objective is to apply classification techniques to determine which use cases or network slices are impacted by the decreased signal strength. Training and test datasets for supervised machine learning techniques are pre-collected measured report data from a live 5G network monitoring counter and data system. Since most KPIs are numerical data, the study uses the classification methods ANN, RF, NB, and LR. This is not at all like the traditional methods—such as driving tests, etc.—for gathering data for coverage-hole detection.
