"The routine dailyactivities that tend to be sedentary and repetitive may cause severe healthproblems. This issue has encouraged researchers to design a system to detectand record people activities in real time and thus encourage them to do morephysical exercise. By utilizing sensors embedded in a smartphone, many researchstudies have been conducted to try to recognize user activity. The most commonsensors used for this purpose are accelerometers and gyroscopes; however, wefound out that a gravity sensor has significant potential to be utilized aswell. In this paper, we propose a novel method to recognize activities usingthe combination of an accelerometer and gravity sensor. We design a simplehierarchical system with the purpose of developing a more energy efficientapplication to be implemented in smartphones. We achieved an average of 95% forthe activity recognition accuracy, and we also succeed at proving that our workis more energy efficient compared to other works."

"The antimicrobial properties of bagasse paper sheets coated withnatural polymers (chitosan, different ratios of (gelatin/glycerol) + chitosan,hemicellulose, hemicellulose + glycerol, hemicellulose+chitosan) orsynthetic organophosphorus dimer compounds were evaluated in this work.Hemicelluloses showed moderate activity against Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans, while chitosan showed weakactivity against B. subtilis. The condition that offered the highest inhibitoryactivity of bagasse paper was the onecoated with 1,3-diaryl-2,2,2,4,4,4-hexachlorocyclodiphosph(V)azane(where aryl is p-chloroaniline or p-anisidine). The developed bagasse paperswere evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. The highest inhibitory activity was obtained at a concentration of 200mg/mL for p-chloroaniline with an inhibition zone that varied for differentmicrobes from 6.9 mm to 26 mm. The highest inhibitory activity was obtained at300?250 mg/mL for p-anisidine against most of the pathogenic microorganismswith an inhibition zone that varied for different microbes from 8 mm to 14.75mm. The observed antimicrobial and antifungal activity properties for bagasse paper coated with 1,3-diaryl2,2,2,4,4,4-hexachlorocyclodiphosph(V)azane could be attributed to the presence of Cl, P atoms, and the lone pair ofelectrons on N atoms in the structure of the dimers."

"In any heterogeneous system, porting reconfigurable computing is often a highperformance platform for a broad range of computationally challenging issues.However, efficiently utilizing the maximum potential of these reconfigurablesystems is a difficult job without understanding their performancecharacteristics. This work proposes an analytic performance model using PetriNets (PN) for a Reconfigurable OR1200 (ROR1200) soft-core processor with modelvalidation and verifications. By modeling the ROR1200 system using Petri Nets,both behavioral and structural properties existing in parallel systems wereanalyzed. The Bound Level Analysis with respect to the dependency level of datais also performed on Soft Core Processors (SCP) like the ROR1200, the OR1200and the MicroBlaze."

"Avacuum drying system is being designed and developed at National Institute ofVacuum Science & Technology (NINVAST) to dry various materials under vacuumconditions. Its performance and capabilities are tested by carrying outdifferent experiments on green (freshly cut) wood samples of Poplar andEucalyptus with dimensions of 990.6 mm x 76.2 mm x 25.4 mm and 469.9 mm x 50.8mm x 25.4 mm, respectively. These samples were dried from green moisturecontent (MC) 78% to 10% by this system at ultimate vacuum of about 1.6 x 103pascal and at a temperature ranging from 35oC to 55oC forabout 20 hrs. Drying quality tests included: prong test, warp measurement,surface checking and moisture content measurement, which were all performed.The resulting wood samples showed no dislocation and no excessive stressbuildup. If compared to ordinary drying process, the vacuum drying is rapid andthe drying rate increases with rise in temperature. The designed system isbeneficial for commercial use."

"Time synchronization is a vital process in wireless sensor networks, where energy sources are highly limited. In this work, we propose a broadcast-based skew correction technique that will improve both the accuracy and the lifetime of any time synchronization protocol that only corrects time offsets among sensor nodes. Using time information transmitted periodically by the root node, each client node can compensate its software clock frequency in real time after an initial offset correction. The experimental results show that a clock skew below 0.05 us/s can be consistently achieved with appropriate compensation parameters after the correction process is stabilized."

"The low-cost Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of small battery powered devices called sensors, with limited energy capacity. Once deployed, accessibility to any sensor node for maintenance and battery replacement is not feasible due to the spatial scattering of the nodes. This will lead to an unreliable, limited lifetime and a poor connectivity network. In this paper a novel bio-inspired cluster-based deployment algorithm is proposed for energy optimization of the WSN and ultimately to improve the network lifetime. In the cluster initialization phase, a single cluster is formed with a single cluster head at the center of the sensing terrain. The second phase is for optimum cluster formation surrounding the inner cluster, based on swarming bees and a piping technique. Each cluster member distributes its data to its corresponding cluster head and the cluster head communicates with the base station, which reduces the communication distance of each node. The simulation results show that, when compared with other clustering algorithms, the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the number of clusters by 38% and improve the network lifetime by a factor of 1/4."

"We propose a simple design of 1×3 optical power splitter which uses gallium nitride (GaN) on sapphire. The design consists of widely used large cross section input rib waveguide, a rectangular multimode interference (MMI) structure, and three-branch rib waveguides. The MMI structure is selected since their attractive performances, such as compactness, low excess loss, wide bandwidth and ease to fabricate. The power splitter is designed for the third telecommunication window, i.e., l = 1.55 µm. Optimization of the geometrical structure parameters for the design is conducted theoretically utilizing 3D FD-BPM method. It is found that the power splitter exhibits excess loss of 0.46 dB and imbalanced of 0.001 dB at l = 1.55 µm for ..."

"ABSTRAKPerkembangan teknologi dan transformasi sosial-ekonomi telah menyebabkan bisnis jaringan seluler 5G mengalami perubahan, sehingga jaringan seluler 5G diharapkan dapat mengirim informasi dengan cepat dan mendukung kasus penggunaan yang banyak bermunculan dari berbagai aplikasi. Salah satu kasus penggunaan pada jaringan 5G adalah massive Machine Type Communication (MTC). Salah satu aplikasi massive MTC adalah jaringan sensor nirkabel (JSN). Tantangan bagi jaringan seluler 5G ini adalah bagaimana memodelkan arsitektur/topologi untuk mendukung JSN dan bagaimana mengatasi masalah efisiensi konsumsi energi di JSN. Untuk menjawab tantangan ini, maka diterapkan sistem HAP yang terintegrasi JSN dan menggunakan protokol routing Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy. Sistem HAP dirancang untuk digunakan di ketinggian 20 km dengan topologi tanpa dan dengan clustering, menggunakan 1.000 node sensor. Sistem ini telah disimulasikan dengan menggunakan MATLAB. Simulasi dilakukan untuk melihat konsumsi energi, jumlah node yang mati dan rata-rata total paket yang dikirim ke HAP untuk topologi tanpa dan dengan clustering. Dari serangkaian simulasi, terlihat bahwa topologi dengan clustering dapat mengurangi konsumsi energi dan jumlah node yang mati, sekaligus meningkatkan total paket yang dikirimkan ke HAP."
