To detect PD in medical scenery, physicians commonly use experimental indicators like motorized and non-motor symptoms and the severity rating depends on the unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS). However, these medical assessments highly rely on expertized clinicians and lead to inter-variability discrepancies. Nowadays, gait sensor data assists doctors in diagnosing PD and estimates the severity level of gait abnormalities in patients. However, the gait sensor data increases the dimensionality issues and is subjected to high non-linear complexity. Hence, this study suggests an innovative deep learning (DL) technique for accurate PD analysis using gait patterns. Initially, the gait sensor data is preprocessed by performing data cleaning, and decimal scaling normalization (DS- Norm) to enhance the data quality. The Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale is a commonly used rating scale for measuring the progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms. It's typically used to assess motor symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. The scale ranges from 0 to 5, with higher numbers indicating more severe symptoms and disability. The preprocessed data are then fed into the proposed Duo spatiotemporal convoluted kernel boosted ResNet (DSCK-RNet) model for classifying the PD severity rating by learning the gait spatiotemporal features. The developed method is processed and scrutinized via the Python platform and a publicly available Physio- Net dataset is utilized for the simulation process. Various assessment measures like accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, FPR, and MCC are examined and compared with traditional studies. In the experimental section, the developed DSCK-RNet model achieved an accuracy of 100%, 99.6%, 99%, and 99.64% for different classes like healthy, severity-2, severity-2.5, and severity-3 respectively. Compared to the conventional techniques, our suggested approach performs better. The experimental findings demonstrate the clinical significance of the suggested approach for the impartial evaluation of gait motor impairment in PD patients.","PeriodicalId":507791,"journal":{"name":"International journal of electrical and computer engineering systems","volume":"75 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140371444","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}

Electric Vehicles (EVs) can be a good option because of their high efficiency under stop-and-go conditions and ability to gain energy from braking. However, limited battery energy makes EVs less efficient and degrades their lifetime. In contrast to a Li-Ion battery, supercapacitors work well under high power charge and discharge cycles. However, their high cost and low energy density prevent them from being viable replacements for batteries. Due to the slow charging and discharging process of batteries, they have a low power density, but a high energy density compared to the supercapacitor. In this paper, we discussed our system design consisting of both a battery and a supercapacitor. The main aim is to design and develop a scheduling algorithm to optimize energy flow between the battery, supercapacitor, and motor. We further described an analogue-based control methodology and algorithm for the supercapacitor, augmented battery-powered motoring process. This is in addition to a charge controller designed to optimize the supercapacitor bank's current-based charge-discharge profile.

For that, in this paper, the impact of using Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices, with their promising material properties, on the reliability of boost converters is presented. Because the results showed that more than 80% of boost converter failures are caused by semiconductors, the use of SiC materials is assessed by determining its reliability using MIL-HDBK-217 standard. In addition, a comparative study with the use of traditional Silicon (Si) is conducted. The results showed that the failure rate of boost converters based on SiC devices reduced from 8.335 failure/10-6h to 6.243 failure/10-6h. This notable shift in failure rates establishes SiC as a pivotal material in the evolution of boost converter technology, offering a compelling solution to address the persistent challenges associated with semiconductor-related failures.","PeriodicalId":507791,"journal":{"name":"International journal of electrical and computer engineering systems","volume":"27 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140372359","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}

However, it is difficult to select the right course from available online education resources due to the demands and needs of learners with different knowledge domains. To solve this problem, an online course recommendation model has the important factor of enhancing learner's knowledge. Many existing recommendation systems (RS) use collaborative filtering (CF) to recommend courses to learners. The major problems with the Collaborative Filtering Recommendation System (CFRS) are the sparse preferences and the scalability of the data. According to the similarity of items, many recommendation models are proposed and developed, but none of these provide suggestions to users without their associations or preferences. We propose a deep hybrid model-online course recommendation (DHM-OCR) that uses high-level learner behavior and course objective features. We demonstrate the improvements and efficiency of the model for suggesting online e-learning courses.

The objective is to identify the most effective approach for accurately detecting bananas in various real- world scenarios. The analysis involves training and testing multiple models using different datasets and evaluating their performance based on precision, recall, and overall accuracy. The results provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, enabling researchers and practitioners to make informed decisions when implementing banana detection systems. To detect banana objects, several convolutional neural network (CNN) models were used, including MobileNetV2, YOLOv3-Nano, YOLO Fastest 1.1, YOLOv3-tiny-PRN, YOLOv4-tiny, YOLOv7, and DenseNet121-YOLOv3. The training process utilizes the Darknet algorithm to facilitate the identification of banana types/classes captured by a camera, resulting in an MP4 film file. In this research, various experiments were carried out using different CNN models. However, these six models achieve optimal accuracy above 80%. Among them, the YOLOv7 model shows the highest average accuracy (MAP) at 100%, followed by the small model YOLOv4 at 92%. Meanwhile, for performance measurements, the accuracy of the YOLOv4-tiny model was 87%, followed by the YOLOv7 model at 84%. In the banana fruit experiment, several models showed very good performance, such as recognition of the Ambon, Kepok, and Emas banana classes up to 100% using the YOLOv7 and YOLOv4-tiny models. The YOLOv7 model itself can recognize other banana classes up to 100% in the Barangan, Rjbulu, Uli, and Tanduk classes. Furthermore, theYOLOv4-tiny model can recognize other banana classes, up to 90% of the Barangan, Rjbulu, Rjsereh, and Uli banana types. Thus, this experiment provides very good average accuracy results on 2 CNN models, namely YOLOv7 and YOLOv4-tiny. Future research will involve grouping pictures of bananas, which produces different image shapes, so it requires a different way to recognize them. It is hoped that this research can become a basis for further research in this field.","PeriodicalId":507791,"journal":{"name":"International journal of electrical and computer engineering systems","volume":"124 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140369958","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}

Developing reliable and strong cooperative collision avoidance (CCA) strategy to mitigate the growing number of road fatalities each year is one of the main difficulties facing vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs).A proper and successful routing method aids in the successful expansion of vehicular ad hoc networks. This study explains the architecture, interface layers, safety features, and implementation of a novel priority-based direction-aware collision avoidance system (P-DVCA). It distinguishes our study in the collision area of VANETs by accounting for realistic bi-directional traffic. The scheme begins with the development of dynamic clusters, which is difficult because of the bi-directional diverse traffic and the need to avoid collisions within and between clusters. The target node is sent an early warning message that includes the safe speed and the likelihood of a collision in order to notify it of an impending danger. To determine the least expensive, shortest one with the fewest hops between the source and the endpoint. A crucial problem with VANETs is the transmission of data from a source node to the base station. Cross-layer issues must be solved for a robust and stable collision avoidance programme to function properly in a VANET communication architecture. The results of the simulation show that the suggested scheme significantly outperforms CCM and C-RACCA in terms of cluster stability, fewer collisions, low latency, and low communication overhead. According to the findings, P-DVCA offers stable clustering, minimises network congestion, and lowers communication overhead and latency.","PeriodicalId":507791,"journal":{"name":"International journal of electrical and computer engineering systems","volume":"8 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140436581","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}
