Consequently, the app may be developed several times to match different platforms. Therefore, there is a need to have solutions that enable the developers to develop the app once, and run it everywhere to reduce the cost of development and reach out to maximum users across several platforms. In this paper a tool is provided with the most popular languages /frameworks (native, cross platform) based on their market share to select the desired framework among them to code with, get the developed application written in the target language that meets their business requirements, and give the ability to convert native application to cross platform one. A trans-compiler based solution is introduced to convert the UI and UI-related backend code of application from a set of languages to any other language in the set and ability of adding more languages and frameworks in the future to achieve the concept of generalization of code conversion.","PeriodicalId":249153,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129756741","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}

Therefore, a proper supply chain management is vital for business continuity. One of the most challenging parts of SCM is the contract negotiation, and one main aspect of the negotiation is to know the risk associated with each range of quantity agreed on. Currently Managers assess the quantity to be supplied based on a binary way of either full or 0 supply, This paper aims to assess the corresponding quantities risks of the suppliers on a multilayer basis. The proposed approach uses fuzzy logic as an artificial intelligence tool that would develop the verbal terms of managers into numbers to be dealt with. A company that produces fresh frozen vegetables and fruits in Egypt who faces the problem of getting the required quantities from the suppliers with a fulfilment rate of 33% was chosen to apply the proposed model. The model allowed the managers to have full view of risk in their supply chain effectively and decide their needed capacity as well as the negotiation terms with both suppliers and customers. Future work should be the use of more data in the fuzzy database and implement the proposed methodology in an another industry.","PeriodicalId":249153,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128731038","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}

These problems can be reduced using implant- retained dentures, implant- supported dentures and hybrid prostheses to restore the chewing mechanism. The hybrid prosthesis is suitable for patients suffered bone loss. This prosthesis consists of bar (framework) attached to the copings of the abutments and implants. Acrylic artificial teeth are arranged on the bar and secured with acrylic material. The bar supports the artificial teeth, decreases the number of needed implants and reduces the bone stress. Protocol bars in hybrid prosthesis are usually made of metallic materials such as titanium and gold. The limitations of metal coupled with increasing demands of the patients for metal-free prosthesis led researchers to search for alternatives of metals. Polymers such as PEKK and PEEK have recently been introduced in the dental prostheses to eliminate metallic taste, allergic reactions and the high cost. PEEK properties can be improved by adding others materials such as carbon fibers (CFR-PEEK) or ceramic fillers (Bio-HPP). This paper studies the possibility of using polymers and their composites in the fabrication of bar in hybrid prosthesis as alternative to titanium, by using Finite element model. 3D model of mandible with hybrid prosthesis is constructed and different bar materials (Titanium, CFR-PEEK 30&60%, BIO-HPP, PEKK and PEEK) are stimulated, then the results are extracted and compared together. The simulation results clarify the ability of using the polymers and composites as a bar material. Moreover, CFR-PEEK 60% can be used as alternative to titanium.","PeriodicalId":249153,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129077579","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 objective of this work is to provide a survey that describes the techniques by which a facility planning problem can be solved and also the effect of these techniques on the efficiency of the layout. The multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques can be classified according to the previous researches into three categories which are the use of Single MCDM, Combining two or more MCDM and the integration of MCDM with another technique such as genetic algorithms (GA). This paper presents a review of different MCDM techniques that have been proposed in the literature to pick the most suitable location or layout design for a facility.

The cost of generated kwh obtained from the PV system is always compared with the cost of generated kwh obtained from conventional systems. Recently, the cost of PV modules has drastically decreased so that the cost of generated kwh of PV systems is significantly dropped. However, the stand-alone systems include battery storage to guarantee power supply day and night. As for battery storage increases, The system Reliability increases, but the increase of battery storage size increases the cost of generated kwh. The decision of how storage size is selected depends on the required reliability. For critical loads, such as refrigerators used to keep drugs in remote areas, the reliability should be 100% and it is allowed to be less than 100% for loads such as lighting, it is allowed to have reliability less than 100% if lower cost is required. Thus the accepted Reliability depends on the system design vision. This paper presents a study on a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system to provide the required electricity for a single residential household in a remote area. The complete design of the suggested system is carried out, such that the site radiation data and the electrical load data of a typical household in the considered site are taken into account during the design steps. Also, the life cycle cost (LCC) analysis is conducted to assess the economic viability of the system. The results of the study encouraged the use of PV systems to electrify in remote sites of tropical areas.","PeriodicalId":249153,"journal":{"name":"2021 3rd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126787190","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}
