{"title":"LoRa flood messaging applied to remote soil-moisture monitoring","authors":"Raeth Peter, Branch Philip","doi":"10.5897/jece2022.0205","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5897/jece2022.0205","url":null,"abstract":"Soil-Moisture sensing has proven to be an important factor in decreasing the need for irrigation while maintaining crop yield and quality. Farmers’ finding ways to minimize water use is necessary given the world’s obvious climate change and, in some areas, the resulting onslaught of drought. As the world’s population grows and the demand for higher-quality food increases, precision irrigation becomes even more essential. As sensors are deployed, these have to be monitored in some way. Our project employs radio broadcasts over unlicensed frequencies to implement wireless remote sensing. Internet and cellular are alternative solutions. However, those require more than the acquisition and implementation of certain equipment and software. Those two approaches also involve third-party services, and their continuing fees. An additional assumption is that those services are available, cost effective, and reliable. Radio broadcast using the LoRa (Long Range) protocol is essentially a low-power means for implementing transceivers for low-rate data exchange. These are effective over longer ranges than technologies such as Bluetooth. LoRa is often deployed using LoRaWAN (LoRa for formal Wide Area Networks) but that involves additional equipment. This paper discusses a means of using only relatively low-cost hardware (Arduino-Uno microcontrollers with attached Dragino transceivers). A wireless network is formed upon which messages flow from sensors attached to microcontrollers, through relays (to account for terrain variability and other obstructions), to a receiver connected to some external system. The LoRa hardware unit remains consistent across all components, with only the installed software varying. Relays and receivers utilize their own unchanging software. However, the sensor units' baseline software is adapted based on the types and numbers of sensors attached. Each sensor, relay, and receiver has its own unique assigned network address. The authors have constructed and demonstrated a proof-of-concept of the ideas expressed in this paper. Discussion is offered on future work required as the project moves toward field application.","PeriodicalId":34329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74934642","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":"Applying AquaCrop-OSPy to real-time irrigation","authors":"Peter G. Raeth","doi":"10.5897/jece2023.0206","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5897/jece2023.0206","url":null,"abstract":"Crop and irrigation modeling based on fundamental physics can be very valuable in forecasting requirements and production in preparation for next season's planting/harvesting cycle. AquaCrop is such a model. It forecasts daily watering needs and allows for simple through detailed data input. Its supplied input files offer configurations for various crop, soil, terrain, and irrigation types. If one knows historical weather, it is possible to estimate daily crop water needs in the coming season, assuming the weather of the coming season is similar to previous years. AquaCrop-OSPy is an open-source implementation of AquaCrop, created in cooperation with AquaCrop’s authors. Looking at this irrigation modeling tool from a computer engineering perspective, one begins to realize that AquaCrop-OSPy could be expanded to input real-time weather data and produce real-time signals to an irrigation system. A simple new console would show communication with the irrigation system. This paper discusses and illustrates a proof-of-concept for that possibility. The author started with basic software for querying up-to-date weather data and estimating ETo for a single crop under normal conditions. Those modules were coupled with a microcontroller to confirm what is possible. Those results encouraged an expansion to AquaCrop-OSPy so that it can be used to support fully-automated human-supervised irrigation.

This will enable us to create a bridge between management and the materials used in the construction industry. It is all too common for construction projects to encounter a number of problems along the way, including a lack of communication between builders, laborers, and vendors. As a result of these issues, the proposed timelines and quality of construction end up being compromised. Oftentimes, stakeholders involved in the project are not quite aware of the quality and quantity of materials that will be used to complete the project. It is precisely this problem that we aim to solve through the use of blockchain technology. As a result of the use of blockchain technology, smart contracts offer transparency and trust to their stakeholders. In order to achieve our primary objective, we intend to leverage the advantages of blockchain. This will enable us to ensure clear visibility of construction materials, deadlines, subcontractors and any other elements that are part of a construction project.","PeriodicalId":34329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72422807","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}

Majdi","doi":"10.4028/p-gdl41l","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-gdl41l","url":null,"abstract":"Both the air-water dispersion coefficient and the air-nanofluid (CuO) dispersion coefficient were studied and measured in a double-pipe heat exchanger. Pumping air into a tank fitted with a Rushton turbulent impeller resulted in gas-liquid dispersion. In order to test the effects of varying operating conditions on the air-water and air-nanofluid dispersions, they were heated and pumped into the tube of a double-pipe heat exchanger. Reynolds numbers of Rec= 4750-13100 on the shell side and Reh=19900-64000 on the tube side were used to get the total heat transfer coefficient (Uo). The dispersion in the hot fluid tank was achieved by combining the two-phase fluids using a Rushton turbine impeller. It was discovered that the conscious phase saw a significant drop in the heat transfer coefficient when the air bubbles dissipated. Because the impeller's agitation speed affects the rate at which air bubbles are broken, the heat transfer coefficient in the case of dispersion rises as Reh and Rec rise. For all examined parameter values, CuO nanofluid showed significant heat transfer improvement. The heat transfer rate of gas-liquid dispersion increases by nanofluid by as much as 135.5% compared to gas-liquid dispersion which is considered the first attempt for heat transfer enhancement of two phase flow (gas-liquid dispersion) using Nano fluid.","PeriodicalId":34329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82074213","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 widely used in various applications due to its reliability and less complexity. This paper presents the extended Dijkstra Algorithm with lower latency and consumes less computing memory intended for implementation in many AGVs networks for effective decentralized task distribution path planning. This paper proposed linear regression normalization across the node network in Dijkstra architecture to reduce computing time and memory consumption. The issue addressed through this optimization focused on reducing the possibilities of collision between AGVs and deadlock. The extended Dijkstra algorithm significantly reduces computing time compared to the traditional Dijkstra algorithm. In addition, the proposed solutions suggest better AGV routing for collision avoidance and deadlock prevention possibilities.","PeriodicalId":34329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89233203","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}

Bituminous Ukhaa-Khudag coal in the form of an enriched, dense coal product is currently used as an energy source by Mongolian consumers for everyday need. There are three types of samples from one source: it is a raw coal (sample 1) and two of industrial prod- ucts as an enriched, dopant (organic based) added coal (sample 2) and simply enriched coal (sample 3). The raw coal general characterization is given through the elemental analysis, thermogravimetry analysis, moreover functional groups were identified by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy. The differences in the FTIR spectra of the samples were done.Some details are as follows: hydroxyl group vibrations are existing, rather weak in agreement of TG result; vibrations of aliphatic group were rarely in the long wave near region, carbonate minerals in the region of 1300-900 cm−1 are visible but overlapped, and an isolated out-of-plane deformational vibration (around 800 cm−1) or two-adjacent (800-750 cm−1) or three-adjacent (around 700 cm−1) of sp2-hybrid bonded aromatic CHx-groups were still presenting.After the processing hydroxyl group bands were affected in enriched coals, sample 2 and 3. In the spectrum of the sample 2 the long wave bands were intensively blurred.Industry processing retains an amount of water in the productions. Water excess influenced absorbance bands were able to be removed via the drying processing, however, the affection to the spectral struc- ture in sample 2 was unrecoverable.","PeriodicalId":34329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80495892","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}

In order to simulate the dynamic response, the equations of motions are developed based on the rotor-bearing system where two identical rotors mounted on symmetric flexible shaft and supported by ball bearings are considered in this model. The presence of defect is introduced on a bearing outer raceway and lubrication effect between bearing components is also included. The numerical results are obtained by applying Runge–Kutta method to solve governing equations of motions. It has been observed that the vibration spectrum of the ball pass frequency outer race and its harmonics for the defect bearing is relatively higher than the good one.
