On the backdrop of lower transportation cost, outsourcing paved the way for borderless production activities and ushered in the era of Supply Chain Management (SCM). For many organizations, achieving the goals of their Supply Chain (SC) is constantly threatened by increased competition and disruption. In this study, the aim is to identify, and rank, SC threats in a developing country using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) with Fuzzy Logic (FL). FMEA parameters were derived for 44 supply chain threats (SCT1 – SCT44) and their Risk Priority Number (RPN) determined. Subsequently, the Mamdani Fuzzy Inference system was utilized to arrive at a Fuzzy-RPN with 125 rules using severity as a determining factor. The rules were ranked to prioritize SC threats. From the conventional FMEA, demand variation (SCT42) and long-distance sourcing (SCT27) had the highest and lowest RPN, respectively. After fuzzification and defuzzification, Fuzzy-RPN identified raw material delay (SCT1), government policy (SCT11), poor transport infrastructure (SCT18) and political instability (SCT19) as threats with the highest Fuzzy-RPN (210) and product recalls (SCT28) with the lowest Fuzzy-RPN (99). Based on these results, it is concluded that a Fuzzy-FMEA approach can identify and rank SC threats with the use of an RPN devoid of sentiments and inaccuracies.

Multimodal biometric system combines more than one biometric modality into a single method in order, to overcome the limitations of unimodal biometrics system. In multimodal biometrics system, the utilization of different algorithms for feature extraction, fusion at feature level and classification often to complexity and make fused biometrics features larger in dimensions. In this paper, we developed a face-iris multimodal biometric recognition system based on convolutional neural network for feature extraction, fusion at feature level, training and matching to reduce dimensionality, error rate and improve the recognition accuracy suitable for an access control. Convolutional Neural Network is based on deep supervised learning model and was employed for training, classification, and testing of the system. The images are preprocessed to a standard normalization and then flow into couples of convolutional layers. The developed multimodal biometrics system was evaluated on a dataset of 700 iris and facial images, the training database contain 600 iris and face images, 100 iris and face images were used for testing. Experimental result shows that at the learning rate of 0.0001, the multimodal system has a performance recognition accuracy (RA) of 98.33% and equal error rate (ERR) of 0.0006%.

This article aims for analyzing under an axial stress, the behavior of earth blocks reinforced by various proportions of coconut fibers. For this fact, compressive and flexural tests were carried out after 28 days of maturation, on dry blocks elaborate with clay stabilized at 8% of cement and containing 0 to 1% of fibers 30 mm length. The experimental results show that the incorporation of fibers in the blocks improves their mechanical characteristics, increases their ductile deformation and delays their cracking. The best mechanical resistances are obtained at 0.8% of fibers because at this content, the distance between fibers is optimal.

In recent years, technology and innovation have also reached the field of waste. They provide an excellent opportunity to improve policies aimed at minimizing waste generation and achieving resource efficiency. However, the degree of introduction of innovative equipment and practices varies significantly from one territory to another. The comparative analysis carried out on within 5 years, showed noticeable changes in the counties in Romania and Poland initiated by the EU and national legislation which indicated an increase in the amount of waste recovered. However, the achieved efficiency of limiting the deposited waste was different at the level of exceeding 70 % and higher of 0.10 kg an average indicator of waste accumulation per capita in Bacau County. Two counties mainly difference composition of municipal waste with predominance of biodegradable waste (60 %) in Bacau County and glass waste (35 %) in Nowy Sącz County with raw material properties. Differences were also noticeable in the case of hygiene fees with exceed of average value 20 EUR in Nowy Sącz County. The gradual increase in the amount of recycled waste and covering all residents with hygiene services should be considered beneficial which indicates an improvement in environmental awareness.

This paper focusses on the use of Newton Raphson iteration in determining gas compressibility factor (z) while performing tubing system performance for dry gas wells through the development of a computer model (TBG_SPARK). However, tubing performance analysis performed on the case study (Well-A and Well-B) revealed that the production system of Well-B performed better – since its tubing size and wellhead pressure was lower than that of Well-A. Also, investigations made using modified data revealed that, lower tubing sizes and higher wellhead pressures yield higher gas rates. Conversely, reverse was the case when wellhead pressures were not varied.

Security is an essential need for man. Without the sense of security, daily human activities will be greatly affected. Most people go to great lengths to ensure there is a presence of security in their environment, often employing dedicated personnel to keep watch over them and their property. This paper proposes a design of a microcontroller based electronic security system which helps to detect possible intruders to a home. This security system is designed to reduce the need of having personnel stationed as security guards over a home. It has the primary unit called the Area Watch Unit (AWU) consisting of a motion detection unit that effectively detects motion around specified perimeters which is then followed by a computer vision to identify and classify what caused the motion. A facial recognition algorithm is run on the face extracted from the image captured after the object that caused the motion is identified and classified as human. Access is then granted to the individual if the results from the facial recognition is positive otherwise a message is sent to the owner of the home indicating a possible intruder is present. There is also a Final Recovery Unit (FRU) which sends a message to the owner of the home and sounds an alarm whiles flashing lights in the event that the Area Watch Unit (AWU) is by-passed without authority.
