This study propose a method for classifying hand gestures by creating inaudible sound using a smartphone and reflected sound signal. The proposed method converts the sound data, which has been reflected and recorded, into an image using short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and the obtained data are applied to a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to classify hand gestures. The results showed classification accuracy for 6 hand gestures with an average of 92.17%.Furthermore, it is confirmed that the proposed method has a higher classification accuracy than other machine learning classification algorithms.","PeriodicalId":360924,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 5th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116636099","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}

Chemical analysis with GC-MS revealed the presence of eleven individual organic acids as a part of root exudates (acetic, acrylic, maleic, succinic, benzoic, phthalic, sebacic, myristic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acid). Based on these results, batch experiments were developed to determine the breakthrough time and the best kinetic model for adsorption of benzoic acid (as an indicator of these 11 organic acids) on two different types of carbon based adsorbents (GAC and SMC). The study revealed that SMC as a novel ordered mesoporous carbon is a promising alternative for the commercial GAC with regard to RNS recovery, leading to a higher quality and productivity. Pseudo first order, pseudo second order, intraparticle diffusion and Elovich models were employed to the experimental data to evaluate the adsorption kinetics. The pseudosecond-order kinetic model best represented the experimental data for both adsorbents at all dosages, exhibiting high linear correlation coefficients (R ≥ 0.98).","PeriodicalId":360924,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 5th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":"313 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114098969","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 integrated model was use to determinate the specific energy requirements to convey the material in horizontal and lifting applications. It allows to compare the energy consumption in bucket elevators, screw and belt conveyors, determining the most efficiency system for each application and explaining the differences between energy requirement of each system.","PeriodicalId":360924,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 5th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133879451","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}

Choice of refrigerant for next generation heating application is major point of interest for industry and policy maker. In this regard, an evacuated glass tube solar water eating system is simulated in TRNSYS software. In the first part, simulation is performed for choice of optimal parameters i.e. size of collector, heat exchanger, tank volume and height. In second stage optimized parameters are used to analyze the performance of system with different natural and synthetic working supercritical fluids. At the end of the study, system performance is evaluated in different cities with different climate by using available weather data in TRNSYS® library and all simulations are performed hourly and then monthly or annual efficiencies and solar fractions are exhibited. The implemented system is designed to fulfill the hot water demand of a single family home with fixed demand of 260 liters/day.

It is commonly found in drinkable freshwater sources that are not adequately chlorinatied, and able to produce many metabolites harmful to human and animal health, especially during toxin-producing bloom. Here we aimed to separate the major peptides and proteins of Microcystis aeruginosa using HPLC, and to identify their approximate molecular weights by fast silver staining followed by SDS-PAGE, for checking their cytotoxic activities in further studies. For this purpose, Microcystis aeruginosa was incubated at 28 °C in a shaking incubator at 110 rpm under continuous light source for 21 days in BG-11 medium and the algal cells were lysed using homogenizer. The fractionation of the algal cell extract was performed by using an optimized HPLC method. Separately collected fractions were first concentrated in a lyophilizator, and analyzed by gel electrophoresis utilizing fast silver staining. The determined molecular weights were then matched to the retention times of HPLC separation. The optimized chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques used in this study might be helpful for further studies on both cytotoxic peptides-proteins of Microcystis aeruginosa and their use in precise measurement of enviromental threats arising from Microcystis aeruginosa bloom.","PeriodicalId":360924,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 5th International Conference on Innovation in Science and Technology","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134458717","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}
