Analysis Of Sensors Used to Make Smart Homes

One of the most widely used Internet of Things applications is home automation. There has been a huge shift in the way humans live their lives, making it easier and more beautiful. It aids in the discovery of easy answers to a wide range of difficult problems. Every application of home automation is linked to the others through the Internet. All of these applications are interconnected through sensors. These sensors can be used to operate a variety of devices, including doors, fans, lights, gas, televisions, refrigerators, and air conditioning. As a result, there is no requirement for human intervention. Our homes have become exceedingly safe thanks to the use of sensors. So that if there is an accident, we will be able to detect it from a long distance without difficulty. It is also capable of preventing unintended mishaps with the use of this technology. The most important thing to understand is which sensors will be used to create this smart house. Aspects such as finances are taken into consideration so that we can use the sensors to build smart houses as needed. This paper describes a technique for smart home automation that is low-cost and wireless, and it makes use of several types of sensors and the Internet of Things to accomplish this. Following extensive investigation, we develop a viable prototype. Specifically, we are interested in suggestions about what types of sensors are utilized to create a smart house, how much they cost, and a thorough understanding of how the sensors are used for various purposes

Observation of non-chemical equilibrium effect on Ar-CO2-H2 thermal plasma model by changing pressure

金沢大学理工研究域電子情報学系The authors developed a two-dimensional one-temperature chemical non-equilibrium (1T-NCE) model of Ar-CO2-H2 inductively coupled thermal plasmas (ICTP) to investigate the effect of pressure variation. The basic concept of one-temperature model is the assumption and treatment of the same energy conservation equation for electrons and heavy particles. The energy conservation equations consider reaction heat effects and energy transfer among the species produced as well as enthalpy flow resulting from diffusion. Assuming twenty two (22) different particles in this model and by solving mass conservation equations for each particle, considering diffusion, convection and net production terms resulting from hundred and ninety eight (198) chemical reactions, chemical non-equilibrium effects were taken into account. Transport and thermodynamic properties of Ar-CO2-H2 thermal plasmas were self-consistently calculated using the first-order approximation of the Chapman-Enskog method. Finally results obtained at atmospheric pressure (760 Torr) and at reduced pressure (500, 300 Torr) were compared with results from one-temperature chemical equilibrium (1T-CE) model. And of course, this comparison supported discussion of chemical non-equilibrium effects in the inductively coupled thermal plasmas (ICTP). © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Transformational Leadership and its Relation to Organizational Loyalty among the Public Secondary Schools' Principals in Jeddah Governate from the Teachers' Point of View

The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which public secondary schools principals in Jeddah Governate practice the four aspects of transformational leadership behavior (idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration), as well as investigate the organizational loyalty in the public secondary schools in Jeddah Province. Moreover, the study investigated the extent to which transformational leadership behavior relates to the dimensions of organizational loyalty in the public secondary schools in Jeddah Province, and whether there are statistically significant differences in the responses of the participants about the dimensions of the study that can be attributed to their individual and job variables including educational qualifications, years of experience and specialization. The study used the descriptive relational methodology in order to fulfill its goals. The questionnaire designed for the purpose of this study was made of two parts, the first was made of 32 items distributed over four dimensions, and the second was made of 24 items distributed over three dimensions. The population of the study was made of the public secondary schools teachers working in the Educational Directorate of Jeddah Province. The sample was made of 363 teachers making up 10.3% of the secondary schoolteachers of Jeddah Province . The study indicated that the practice of transformational leadership of the public secondary schools principals in Jeddah Province was very high in the opinion of the secondary school teachers. On the other hand the organizational loyalty behavior of the secondary schoolteachers was also very high in their opinion. The study recommended the necessity of consolidating the behaviors of transformational leadership of the public secondary schools principals through training courses. On the other hand, teachers and students achievement should be advanced along with increase of power delegation by paying attention to linking organizational loyalty level with student achievement level in the secondary schools

Mini craniotomy for chronic subdural haematoma: surgical outcome from a single institution experience and predictors of success

Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is an increasingly common neurological disease in daily neurosurgical practice. Despite the wide prevalence of CSDH, there remains a lack of consensus regarding numerous aspects of its surgical management. The diagnosis and treatment are well established but there are different surgical procedures and outcome related to these procedures are not completely understood.Methods: The study conducted was conducted in department of neurosurgery at Ibrahim cardiac hospital and research institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh between January 2019 to July 2020, 105 patients were treated for chronic subdural haematoma This study evaluated the clinical features, radiological findings and surgical outcome by mini craniotomy assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS) score and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score in a large series of patients treated at single institution.Results: At 6 months follow up, only one patient died (0.95%) because of co-morbidities and not directly related to the chronic subdural haematoma, 15 patients (14.3%) improved to mRS 0, 33.33% showed only mild symptoms without any significant disability-mRS 1, slight disability was observed in 28.5% patients, moderate disability was observed in 17.14% patients-mRS 3, moderately severe disability was observed in 5.7%-mRS 4.Conclusions: GOS score at 6 months follow up which shows majority of the patient improved to GOS score 4 (45.71%) and 5 (38.09%). Based on these results, among various method of surgical management, mini craniotomy provides better outcome

A preliminary study on operation management for one-way EV car sharing system in university campus

Car sharing using electric vehicles(EVs) is effective in local society and community from the viewpoint of economy and the protection of the natural environment. For instance, Univerisiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), which has two large campuses, has a plan to use a small number of small EVs as one of transportation methods. When a large number of people share a small number of vehicles in this way, the confliction of usage requests by users may cause inconvenience to users and ineffective operation of vehicles. In addition, because the degree of legal compliance with usage time and operation rules relies on social and cultural backgrounds, operation methods may be affected by them. Therefore, a framework for supporting operation management in consideration of characteristics of the local society and community is necessary in order to efficiently operate a limited number of vehicles without detracting from the convenience of users. We have been developing an operation management support system for one-way EV car sharing in the university campus to improve user convenience and vehicle operation efficiency. In this presentation, we clarify the issues of operation management for car sharing system. We also introduce an overview of the operation management support system and propose several reservation methods of vehicles

Relocation intention to smart retirement village among elderly Malaysians

The rapid growth of the ageing population has contributed to an increased attention towards the provision of smart retirement village (SRV). SRV is a new form of housing that is a trustworthy solution for the elderly’s retirement lifestyle. Many studies have conducted in the past to examine the factors that influence elderly intention to relocate to SRV, however, the findings often contradicted to each other. As such, research outcome cannot be generalized due to the complexity of consumers in different cultural, time and geographical context. Therefore, this study focuses on finding of factors that influence the relocate intention of elderly in Malaysian SRV. This study extends from the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) by adding two variables (i.e. environmental concern and rewards) to measure the elderly relocation intention. In this study, a convenience sampling strategy is used to gather data. The 259 usable data collected from the survey were analysed using multiple regressions. The findings show that intention to relocate to SRV depends on attitude, social norm and rewards. The other two variables; perceived behavioural control and environmental concern were found to have no significant impact on the relocate intention of SRV. SRV service providers may use the results and customize marketing materials for their individual services

Potential determinants of salinity tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and modulation of tolerance by exogenous ascorbic acid application

Rice is a relatively salt-sensitive crop with the reproductive and seedling stages being the most sensitive. Two separate experiments were conducted to isolate potential determinants of salinity tolerance and to investigate the possibility of modulating salt tolerance by exogenous ascorbic acid (AsA) application. Rice plants were imposed to salinity (EC= 10.0 dS m-1) both at the seedling and reproductive phases of growth. Salinity at the seedling stage resulted a sharp decline in shoot and root growth related traits including leaf chlorophyll content, while hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased. Plants experienced with salinity at the reproductive phases of growth showed a significant reduction in yield attributing traits while the tissue levels of H2O2 increased. Exogenous AsA application reversed the negative impact of salt stress, modulating the root and shoots growth and yield related traits and lowering H2O2 and MDA levels. FL-478 was identified as the most tolerant genotype at the seedling stage, with Binadhan-10 being the most tolerant at the reproductive stage. Grain yield panicle-1 significantly and positively corrected with number of filled grains panicle-1, panicle length, plant height, and spikelet fertility, and negatively correlated with H2O2 levels. Stress tolerance indices clearly separated the tolerant and susceptible genotypes. A principal component analysis revealed that the first two components explained 87% of the total variation among the genotypes. Breeding efforts could therefore to undertake for developing salinity tolerance by manipulating endogenous AsA content in rice
