Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) showed a booming trend due to its tunability as well as simplicity in fabrication. Researchers invested in exploring an appropriate equivalent circuit capable of describing the J-V curves of the PSCs as well as illustrating the physical phenomena associated with optical absorption and carrier transportation. In the same context, we propose a modified SCAPS model to demonstrate the optoelectronic behavior of PSCs through estimating the parasitic elements in the form of resistive and capacitive components. A previously reported PSC was selected as a reference where our enhanced model recorded only 4% mismatching. J-V, E-K and C-V curves have been simulated and analyzed where the appearance of the capacitive impact due to E-K charge accumulation has been addressed.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are projected to be an integral component in intelligent transportation systems, poised to support road safety services via the Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Roadside (V2R) units communication. With the evolution of technology and the growth in the number of smart vehicles, traditional VANETs face technical challenges in deployment and management due to less scalability and poor connectivity. Current smart vehicles are identified, authenticated, and connected through central cloud servers. This model will have limited scalability as the technology becomes pervasive, and the cloud servers will remain a single point of failure that can disrupt the entire network. Therefore, we need a secure distributed system to reduce the network traffic rate. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based distributed message exchange system that will handle the exchange of safety and periodic beacon messages among vehicles. Since blockchain is characterized as being a decentralized and non-tampering system. We considered saving the safety messages only in the blockchain as they occur less than the periodic messages and they are more important. We propose to implement the blockchain per country to reduce the number of nodes/vehicles joining the network. We also reduce the block body size by using the Kademlia Distributed Hash Table (DHT) to broadcast the beacon messages. Experimental evaluation shows that the system can protect a V2V network against different attack types, such as sybil attack and alteration attack with TPR more than 95%. The experiments also show that the block body size is reduced by a factor of 1:5, which helps in broadcasting the data faster.

This paper presents an identification technique, for the road - vehicle dynamic behavior of suspension systems, by implementing an autoregressive system with exogenous input (ARX). The ARX model was proposed as a simple and powerful tool, in terms of accuracy and computational time, compared to the complexity and significant computational cost involved with the neural networks approach which is commonly used. An experimental approach is introduced based on training data being extracted from sensors readings which are attached to specific locations, of a real car suspension, in an attempt to capture the dynamic behavior of a quarter car model. In addition, two different ARX models were created, once by using front-left wheel excitation only and another by front and rear wheels excitations. It is found that the ARX model, based on measurements extracted from only one wheel of a real car suspension, could accurately represent the vertical dynamics of the whole vehicle.

Time-series forecasting, the process of predicting values in the future given the present and previous history, is a challenging problem to tackle. Deterministic forecasting methods were thoroughly investigated but had limitations regarding reliability. Recent research efforts are exploring the advantages that come with probabilistic forecasting. The need to have large datasets for time-series to build more generalized models and thus being less dependent on data augmentation is also driving efforts to collect comprehensive data. This paper proposes a machine learning model to estimate prediction intervals on a large oil production dataset. Prediction intervals are estimated at different percentiles. Prediction Interval Coverage Probability (PICP) and Prediction Interval Normalized Average Width (PINAW) metrics are used for performance evaluation. The best results are obtained by removing trend and using differencing.

CMOS circuits that contain multiple branches in the pull-down network (PDN) suffer from the trade-off between the leakage-power reduction and the improvement of the propagation delay. As a solution, multiple threshold voltages can be used in order to reduce the subthreshold leakage in some paths while maintaining the speed requirement in others. In this paper, a novel multiple threshold-voltage CMOS (MTCMOS) subthreshold-leakage reduction algorithm is presented that optimizes the design of CMOS circuits with several branches in the PDN. Specifically, the threshold voltages of certain devices in the PDN are increased in order to reduce the subthreshold leakage while keeping the current-driving capabilities of these devices within certain limits in order not to degrade the performance. Simulation results using the 45 nm CMOS technology confirms this reduction with no speed penalty.

The majority of water pipelines suffer severe deterioration and degradation challenges. Therefore, this research aims at developing machine learning models that forecast the structural condition of water pipelines. The models are implemented using several techniques, including multiple linear regression, feed-forward neural network, general regression neural network, and support vector regression models. The performance of the aforementioned models is evaluated by measuring the coefficient of determination and root mean squared error using cross-validation. The results show that the general regression neural network model outperforms the other models with respect to the applied metrics. The models are developed using data collected from a water distribution network in Shaker Al-Bahery, Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt. The developed model is expected to assist the water municipality in allocating budget efficiently as well as scheduling of the needed intervention strategies.

The scarcity of adequate rehabilitation and treatment centers for post-stroke patients, a relatively common disease among the Egyptian populace, and the lack of awareness and trained physiotherapists, causes many patients to forgo treatment until they are transported to the hospital. Even then, the high cost of treatment will impede most rehabilitation attempts to those who survive. Thankfully, rehabilitation robotics can be used to replace the need for trained physiotherapists. This paper uses the Myo armband as a rehabilitation assessment device, tracking the progress of Post-Stroke patients and comparing them with healthy subjects. By taking a total of 60 samples from 3 healthy subjects and using self-organizing maps, a clustering system that can differentiate between regular and irregular motions using kinematic data with less than 10% error was produced.

Sensing is not only essential but also unavoidable in the medical fields to analyze different types of biological samples for diagnostic purposes. Although, the conventional laboratory based sensing method provides high accuracy, sometimes, it is not suitable in terms of cost, sensing time, and amount of samples needed for sensing. In this work, we design a novel optical micro ring resonator biosensor utilizing the properties of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) on insulator (LNOI) to detect the concentration of glucose in blood and urine. Optical micro ring resonator attracts researchers in the biomedical field for their compactness, tenability, and low cost. Moreover, LNOI offers some special properties like favorable optical, mechanical, pieozoelectrical, photoelastic, photorefractive, and photovoltaic properties. First, various samples of devices were designed in COMSOL to perform the modal analysis. Then, these devices were implemented in Opti-FDTD to evaluate the performance of the sensor. By varying different parameters like rib height and width, we optimized the structure of the device where rib height, rib width, top layer width of LiNbO3, ring radius, and the distance between ring and waveguide are 0.56 µm, 0.5 µm, 0.16 µm, 15 µm, and approximately 70 to 80 nm, respectively. This optimized structure shows high quality (Q) factor, sharp resonance wavelength, and more distance between two resonance wavelengths of two different concentration of glucose. For sensing purpose, Gaussian modulated continuous wave of 1545 nm wavelength was used as input and best results in output were obtained at 1250 to 1280 nm wavelength.

Losing the ability to speak exerts psychological and social impacts on the affected people due to the lack of proper communication. Thus, Sign Language (SL) is considered a boon to people with hearing and speech impairment. SL has developed as a handy mean of communication that form the core of local deaf cultures. It is a visual–spatial language based on positional and visual components, such as the shape of fingers and hands, their location and orientation as well as arm and body movements. The problem is that SL is not understood by everyone, forming a communication gap between the mute and the able people. Multiple and systematic scholarly interventions that vary according to context have been implemented to overcome disability-related difficulties. Sign language recognition (SLR) systems based on sensory gloves are significant innovations that aim to procure data on the shape or movement of the human hand to bridge this communication gap, as the proposed system. The proposed model is a glove equipped with five flex sensors, interfacing with a control unit fixed on the arm, translating American Sign Language (ASL) and Arabic Sign Language (ArSL) to both text and speech, displayed on a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI). The proposed system aims to provide an affordable and user friendly SL translator system, working on the basis of Machine Learning (ML). However, it adapts to each person’s hand instead of using a generic data set. The system achieved 95% recognition rate with static gestures and up to 88% with dynamic gestures.
