To handle this issue, it is so essential that we need figure out solutions to assure the growth of crops effectively. In this paper, we propose the new solution to plant automatically and monitor remotely. Firstly, the model of plantation is described in depth. Then, CPU plays a central role to handle the irrigation and aftercare the whole system. It is implemented several sensors and actuators to manipulate the environmental farm. The system parameters are updated in cloud frequently. Furthermore, all of plantations is supervised by digital cameras. The host PC will analyze the image to predict the process of development in agriculture. Therefore, via Internet of Things (IoT) and image processing technology, farmers are able to estimate the best harvesting time and assure the mass production of food.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116141177","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}

Obviously, the only one obstacle we must face is the dependence upon weather conditions which have been, so far, the unpredictable variants of most RE systems. Hence, in this paper, we propose a new algorithm using weather forecast and historical weather data in order to optimize performance of RE systems. Basically, this algorithm is not only making full use of weather data base but also helping us decide whether to discharge the load or have it operates on high performance at least in the next three hours [1]. We have already embedded it into our RE system combining with Darius wind turbine and photovoltaic (PV) system, the result is showed below.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125149566","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}

Experimental specimens were made under identical conditions using the hot press process. Dispersion of nanosilica in an natural rubber matrix was conducted by a sonication method, and a high-speed shear mixer was used for mixing the curing agent and resin. Following the manufacturing of the nanosilica/natural rubber nanocomposites, characterization of the mechanical properties of the material was performed by tensile testing. In addition, the morphologies of the fractured surface of nanosilica/natural rubber nanocomposites were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results of mechanical tests exhibit improvements of tensile strength and elongation by 52.5% and 20.4%, respectively, at 6.0 pphr (part per hundred of rubber) nanosilica as compare to those of the pure polymer specimen. Besides, with the SEM images of the tensile fracture surface of nanosilica/natural rubber composites, a good adhesion between the nanosilica and the resin can be observed. It is expected that the experimental results will lead to the offering of a low-cost, high-strength and sustainable material for applications in the industry of automobile’s tire manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130349818","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 reduce this power consumption and make a product greener it is essential to have design processes that help the designer choose lower power processors. This paper outlines a process for designing real time control systems where a key problem is that lower power processors have more delays and timing jitter. A novel simulation method allows the designer to predict the effects of these defects and thus choose a lower power, lower performance controller which will still be adequate for the control task at hand. A simple thermal control application is used to demonstrate the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130570276","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 crash analysis using finite element models showed that the serious damage to the vehicle structure occurred when the vehicle model impact to Pole 250. The results demonstrate that the improvement of local structure such as A-pillar, rocker panel and hinge pillar can promote the crashworthiness of the vehicle, but the further improvement needs a major change of the vehicle structure.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132017950","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}
