The main principle that guided the choice of the sites and the contents was of illustrating the various cultures and types of settlements present in the Italian territory. Eight sites were chosen, spread across the national territory from north to south, founded by Etruscans, Greeks, Phoenicians, natives and Romans. e-Archeo has developed multimedia, integrated and multi-channel solutions for various uses and types of audiences, adopting both scientific and narrative and emotional languages. Particular attention was paid to multimedia accessibility, technological sustainability and open science. The e-Archeo project was born from a strong synergy between public entities, research bodies and private industries thanks to the collaboration of MiC and ALES with the CNR ISPC, 10 Italian Universities, 12 Creative Industries and the Italian National Television (RAI). This exceptional and unusual condition made it possible to realise all the project’s high-quality contents and several outputs in only one and a half years.","PeriodicalId":36273,"journal":{"name":"Applied System Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42777653","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}

We assign higher weights to the highest-ranked university to improve recommendation quality. Our approach is evaluated on eight parameters and outperforms traditional recommender systems. We claim that our approach saves storage space and solves the cold start problem by not requiring prior user preferences. Our proposed scheme can be applied to decision-making problems, especially in the context of recommender systems, and offers a new direction for human-specific task aggregation in recommendation research.","PeriodicalId":36273,"journal":{"name":"Applied System Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44760743","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 existing research on sign language translation has yet to utilize skin masking, edge detection, and feature extraction techniques to their full potential. Therefore, this study employs the speeded-up robust features (SURF) model for feature extraction, which is resistant to variations such as rotation, perspective scaling, and occlusion. The proposed system utilizes a bag of visual words (BoVW) model for gesture-to-text conversion. The study uses a dataset of 42,000 photographs consisting of alphabets (A–Z) and numbers (1–9), divided into 35 classes with 1200 shots per class. The pre-processing phase includes skin masking, where the RGB color space is converted to the HSV color space, and Canny edge detection is used for sharp edge detection. The SURF elements are grouped and converted to a visual language using the K-means mini-batch clustering technique. The proposed system’s performance is evaluated using several machine learning algorithms such as naïve Bayes, logistic regression, K nearest neighbors, support vector machine, and convolutional neural network. All the algorithms benefited from SURF, and the system’s accuracy is promising, ranging from 79% to 92%. This research study not only presents the development of an effective gesture-to-text translation system but also highlights the importance of using skin masking, edge detection, and feature extraction techniques to their full potential in sign language translation. The proposed system aims to bridge the communication gap between individuals who cannot speak and those who cannot understand Indian Sign Language (ISL).","PeriodicalId":36273,"journal":{"name":"Applied System Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49225109","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 control key for the proposed controller is based on a magneto-rheological (MR) damper, which supports the building. According to Lyapunov-based stability analysis, an adaptive synergetic control (ASC) strategy was established under variation of the stiffness and viscosity coefficients in the vibrated building. The control and adaptive laws of the ASC were developed to ensure the stability of the controlled structure. The proposed controller addresses the suppression problem of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) building model, and an earthquake control scenario was conducted and simulated on the basis of earthquake acceleration data recorded from the El Centro Imperial Valley Earthquake. The effectiveness of the adaptive synergetic control was verified and assessed via numerical simulation, and a comparison study was conducted between the adaptive and classical versions of synergetic control (SC). The vibration suppression index was used to evaluate both controllers. The numerical simulation showed the capability of the proposed adaptive controller to stabilize and to suppress the vibration of a building subjected to earthquake. In addition, the adaptive controller successfully kept the estimated viscosity and stiffness coefficients bounded.","PeriodicalId":36273,"journal":{"name":"Applied System Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44516640","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}

At the same time, during the transition of oil fields to the later stages of development, the issues of optimizing the consumed electricity become relevant. The purpose of this work is to develop a digital automated system for distributed control of production wells using elements of machine learning. The structure of information exchange within the framework of the automated system being created, consisting of three levels of automation, is proposed. Management of the extractive fund is supposed to be based on the work of four modules. The “Complications” module analyzes the operation of oil wells and peripheral equipment and, according to the embedded algorithms, evaluates the cause of the deviation, ways to eliminate it and the effectiveness of each method based on historical data. The “Power Consumption Optimization” module allows integrating algorithms into the well control system to reduce energy consumption by maintaining the most energy-efficient operation of pumping equipment or optimizing its operation time. The module “Ensuring the well flow rate” allows you to analyze and determine the reasons for the decrease in production rate, taking into account the parameters of the operation of adjacent wells. The Equipment Anomaly Prediction module is based on machine learning and helps reduce equipment downtime by predicting and automatically responding to potential deviations. As a result of using the proposed system, many goals of the oil company are achieved: specific energy consumption, oil shortages, and accident rate are reduced, while reducing the labor costs of engineering and technological personnel for processing the operation parameters of all process equipment.","PeriodicalId":36273,"journal":{"name":"Applied System Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47049729","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}

Smart bins in urban environments contain sensors that measure the status of containers in real-time and trigger wireless alarms if the container reaches a predetermined threshold, and then communicate the information to the operations center, which then sends vehicles to collect the waste from the selected stations in order to collect a significant waste amount and reduce transportation costs. In this article, we will address the issue of the Dynamic Multi-Compartmental Vehicle Routing Problem (DM-CVRP) for selective and intelligent waste collection. This problem is summarized as a linear mathematical programming model to define optimal dynamic routes to minimize the total cost, which are the transportation costs and the penalty costs caused by exceeding the bin capacity. The hybridized genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to solve this problem, and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by extensive numerical experiments on instances given by Valorsul, with some modifications to adapt these data to our problem.
