A proposed project, the bus rapid transit (BRT) project supported by the World Bank, is a major step towards achieving the sustainable transportation system. Yet, the realization of this goal is highly dependent on the effectiveness of this project. This research presents a probabilistic cost-benefit analysis (CBA) on the BRT section that spans from Tabarja to Beirut. The CBA accounts for all the costs incurred to construct and operate the system, whereas the benefits considered are savings in travel time, emissions, and crash cost. Using the probabilistic approach is adopted considering the high uncertainties that surrounds the BRT design variables. The probabilistic approach is performed using Monte Carlo Simulation where the uncertain parameter in the CBA analysis are identified and their probability distributions are constructed that can better represent the variability in these parameters. This approach has proven that modal shift is a key element to the success of the project. Finally, a financial analysis is conducted showing that an operating subsidy is needed if the fare revenues are lower than 20%, thus the prominence of modal shift and the number of BRT passengers.","PeriodicalId":432120,"journal":{"name":"2019 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Computational Tools for Engineering Applications (ACTEA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123456286","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 increase network scalability, service flexibility and to improve mobility management in 5g wireless networks, two new concepts have emerged, namely Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Wireless Networking (SDWN). In this study, we designed and implemented a network architecture based on an open-source software-based LTE implementation named as OpenAirInterface (OAI). OAI emulation platform is an integrated tool allowing large-scale networking experimentation. The latter can be used for prototyping innovation scheduling algorithms, making the majority of new architecture. SDWN network technology has emerged in order to deliver a high quality multiple performance system with cost benefits that includes several processes such as live monitoring, reconfiguration, control delegation and faster data-transfer. In order to test some key enablers and features of 5G mobile networks, we provide a topology that combines SDWN and NFV technologies to handle the fulfilment of network slices by running Mosaic 5g FlexRAN software on top of the OAI platform. Moreover, Clearwater IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is integrated to provide voice over IP (VoIP) service between subscribers and a Wi-Fi Access point (AP) is added to network in order to establish a heterogeneous wireless network (HetNet). Our results can serve as a reference for future optimization by the open source community.","PeriodicalId":432120,"journal":{"name":"2019 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Computational Tools for Engineering Applications (ACTEA)","volume":"27 22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126191716","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 occurrence of seizure is not predictable; the duration between seizures, as well as the symptoms, varies from patient to another. Since the seizures are not predictable, and most of epileptic patients suffer from physical risky symptoms during the seizure, such patients are not able to perform daily work activities. The objective of this project is to design and implement a monitoring system for epileptic patients; the system should continuously check some vital signs, analyze the measurements, and decide whether the patient is nearly to have a seizure or not. Whenever a seizure is predicted, the system initiates an alarm. In addition, a notification should be sent to the health care responsible, as well as one preferred contact. By implementing the monitoring system, people who suffer from epilepsy will have more chance to work and live a normal life. Thus, this paper presents the concept of the overall system and shows results of the implemented systems: EEG, ECG and Fall Detection system. Results have shown that the fall detection accuracy reached 99.89% whereas the accuracy of the prediction using the ANN was about 97.34%.","PeriodicalId":432120,"journal":{"name":"2019 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Computational Tools for Engineering Applications (ACTEA)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122128627","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}

Although the fragment assembly approach has shown a lot of potential, it still requires substantial improvements. Not only are its predictions largely inaccurate whenever a protein exceeds 150 amino acids in length, but also, even for short targets, inconsistencies of the energy function associated with the enormous search space too often lead to the generation of erroneous conformations. Moreover, as it relies on the creation of a large number of decoys, it is highly computational expensive. Based on its secondary structure content, a protein can generally be classified into one of the standard structural classes, i.e. all-alpha, all-beta or alpha-beta. Since structural class prediction has reached a prominent accuracy, it is proposed to amend the standard pipeline of fragment-based methods by including some constraints on the template proteins from which fragments are extracted. Using Rosetta, a state-of-the-art fragment-based protein structure prediction package, the suggested customized method was evaluated on 67 former CASP targets ranging from 47 to 149 amino acids in length. Using SCOP-based structural class annotations, improvement of structure prediction performance is highly significant in terms of GDT (53 out of 67 targets show higher scores of 6.1% on average, $mathbf{p}-mathbf{value} < 0.0005$).","PeriodicalId":432120,"journal":{"name":"2019 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Computational Tools for Engineering Applications (ACTEA)","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133384458","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}

Additionally, for this estimation, the effect of seasonal changes of air density has been incorporated. As a reference, the SIEMENS 160/6 turbine has been adopted and wind energy potential has been expressed as the capacity factor (CF) associated to this turbine. The spatial distribution of CF provides an idea of available wind energy potential in the Lebanese coast. The impact of seasonal air density changes has been assessed as percentage reduction in this indicator. In summer, the CF reduction due to high temperatures and lower air density, reaches in some Southern regions of the Lebanese coast to values around 5.5%. The use of such reanalyses is likely to increase in the future, thus making consultancy work easier since a lot of computational work with state-of-the-art meteorological models like WRF or MC2 (used to draw the National Wind Atlas of Lebanon) may not be necessary. Therefore, most likely in the future, for wind potential estimations, rather than heavy calculation efforts, the know-how for consultancy companies will focus into deeper analysis and interpretation of readily-available data from reanalyses.","PeriodicalId":432120,"journal":{"name":"2019 Fourth International Conference on Advances in Computational Tools for Engineering Applications (ACTEA)","volume":"99 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117298132","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}
