Agriculture is also the main supply of the world’s food and fabrics. Diseases affecting plants in the agriculture process is considered a crisis since it is a threat to the basic human food supply. Early detection of these diseases will save a large amount of the crops. Our proposed approach aims to detect plant’s diseases grown in greenhouses. This is done by monitoring a greenhouse model using an automated intelligent system. The proposed system is used to speed up the plant growth and detect the plant’s diseases. We used tomatoes to test our proposed system. The detected diseases are early blight, late blight, leaf mold, spider mites, target spot, mosaic virus, septoria, bacterial spot, and yellow leaf curl virus. These diseases usually appear on the leaves of the plants and it is hard to differentiate between them by the naked eye. A deep learning library Fast.ai, is used in building a training model from the given dataset of the diseases to get the highest accuracy. The proposed approach achieved 94.8% accuracy in detecting different types of tomato’s diseases. A Web application is developed to track greenhouse’s growth statistics and get notified if there is any disease found on their plant inside the greenhouse.","PeriodicalId":253090,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130247070","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 shown that the Steady State Availability obtained when using the proposed enhanced model is occasionally different than that obtained when using more conventional models. The proposed model can be used to support decision making regarding the appropriate amount of training for the maintenance personnel and the factory’s spare part stocking policy.

This is due to the fact that slightly increasing the threshold voltage causes a dramatic decrease in the subthreshold-leakage current. However, the decision on the sizing of the sleep transistor is a critical issue because there are various trade-offs that the designer must face with this respect. In this paper, the area, the static and dynamic-power consumption, and the time delay are investigated with respect to the aspect ratio of the sleep transistor with compact-form expressions derived for them. Accordingly, the optimal size of the sleep transistor is determined quantitatively. The results are discussed for NAND and NOR gates. The results obtained are based on adopting the Berkeley predictive technology model (BPTM) of the 22 nm CMOS technology with a power-supply voltage, VDD, equal to 0.8 V.","PeriodicalId":253090,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116507279","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}

Moreover, in order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed approach , it is compared to a baseline scenario where the conventional vehicles operate under traffic lights.

Recently, self-balancing robots attracted more attention and showed impressive performance. A self-balancing robot is simply a two-wheeled robot; hence it needs to be balanced vertically using a closed-loop control algorithm. In this paper, a new hybrid two-wheeled self-balancing robot is fully designed and implemented, which is able to track objects and to avoid obstacles efficiently. The proposed robot consists of a two-wheeled chassis equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, camera, gyroscope and accelerometer allowing a multi-directional navigation of the robot tracker. Additionally, the Internet of Things (IOT) framework has been used for remote control and monitoring via wireless interface. The Fuzzy Logic Controller is designed considering all the realistic hindrances in order to achieve high performance and meet robust stability. To approximate the position of an object about the robot, vision system and ultrasonic sensor coupled with a camera are used. Finally, it has been observed via simulation and hardware implementation the efficiency of fuzzy control technique which achieved both stability and robustness outcomes; however, due to processing restrictions other control techniques are also successfully implemented. Regarding the experimental results it can be concluded that, balancing and tracking techniques can be achieved by applying sequential algorithm in Simulink combined with vision system and sensors like ultrasonic, accelerometer and gyroscope.","PeriodicalId":253090,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129264542","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}
