it is well known that an economy based on knowledge has a strong potential for human capital. In this sense, universities have a key role in student’s professional development and performance, as well as to increase the number of professional population in science, technology, engineer, and mathematics. The aim of the present study is to obtain student’s individual, structural and external characteristics by considering their context, which represents a condition that shape student’s interest, persistence and goals in computing engineering discipline through career development. To accomplish this, we used self-reports based on Social Cognitive Career Theory in a sample of system engineering students (n=270) from three universities in the north of Lima. In addition to this, we evaluate the model through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) under the partial least squared (PLS-SEM) approach. Results showed different associations and effects in individual and contextual variables among system engineering students.

The current work presents the implementation of a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a small radar system. The GUI was built using three different platforms: Matlab, Octave and Java. In this paper, we describe each of them and accomplish a comparative study of the performance of these three implementations.

The growth of wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) applications happened in many areas, such as electronics, hardware, sensors, operational systems and protocols. However, it is noticed that, while there are many efforts to reduce energy consumption and develop leaner applications, the application protocol of the IoT communications has remained the same for all hardware. This paper presents CoEP, a simple, secure and lean protocol for the IoT which relies on very low-power and low footprint features.

This work employs a 2DOF (2 Degrees of Freedom) PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller to control the angular position of the rotational load of a rotary torsion plant. Such a plant consist of a DC servomotor with gear train mounted on a cubic solid aluminium frame, whose horizontal shaft is able to rotate a flexible coupling attached to a rotational load. The performance of the 2DOF PID control system is compared with the performance of a PID control system. Experimental results demonstrate that the former control system performs better because the controlled angular position of the rotary load shows no overshoot as well as a smaller settling time.

A fluorescence detection and quantification platform, termed "FluoPoC", is demonstrated. It runs on an Android™ smartphone that images and automatically analyses fluorescent assays confined within a disposable and customizable sample holder. The fluorescent samples are excited with light-emitting diodes, and the resulting fluorescence emission is filtered by a long-pass filter and captured by the smartphone camera. Then, the image is analyzed through digital image processing techniques, and results are displayed on the phone. Tests with Atto-488 dye showed a lower and upper detection limit of 0.1 µM and 2.5 µM, respectively. This portable and cost-effective sensing tool could be useful for rapid detection of molecular biomarkers of infectious and chronic diseases.

The use of fires represents one of the principal methods to convert tropical forest ecosystems into other land-uses. To better target forest fire management and regulation policies, a better understanding of the areas prone to forest fires is needed. This study focuses on forest fires in the Peruvian Amazon and tropical Andes regions. First, the areas where forest fires are most prevalent are identified using Kernel Density Analysis. Second, the risk on fire within two forest fire hotspot locations is assessed using the AdaBoost algorithm. The results of this study show that forest fire is most extensive in the departments of Ucayali/Huánuco and San Martín. Furthermore, forest fire risk maps show that most of the highly to very highly susceptible areas in Ucayali/Huánuco are clustered within a single region, while in San Martín, susceptible areas are more widely scattered throughout the department. The fire risk maps generated in this study could contribute to forest fire management and research efforts in the Peruvian Amazon and tropical Andes regions.

In this paper, a probabilistic unit commitment model by incorporating wind energy and battery energy storage is developed, as well as a methodology based on forward dynamic programming with the aim of solving the problem. To test the model, a test system with four thermal generating units was used, including a wind farm and an energy storage system. The results of the simulation demonstrate the applicability and good performance of the proposed method and consequent decrease in pollution by using less fossil fuels. Besides, it shows the advantages of using energy storage systems to help at reducing the cost of unit commitment and make the system less susceptible to the uncertainties arising from the inclusion of wind power units in the power system.

In this study, a control architecture is developed using the Mach3 software adapted to the Modbus TCP/IP network together with the programmable logic controller S7-1200. The implementation of this nonstandardized control system yielded high-precision results in the independent axes and in their overall performances. For 90 samples, we achieved an average precision of 27.7 µm for the independent movement of the axles and an average precision of 30.3 µm for the simultaneous movement of all the axles in three dimensions.

This research presents a simple mapping methodology for gait biomechanics of a human being into joint angles of a 10 degrees of freedom (DOF) biped robot. The joint angles are mapped by considering the zero moment point (ZMP) criterion. The walking control of the robot is performed by an optimal state feedback controller. The walking trajectories are planned in the sagittal plane, and they are generated in compliance with the ZMP of the robot – keeping the robot within the support polygon – by dividing the control process in two stages: unique support and double support. A linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM) is used as an approximate single mass model of the robot during gait. Results of this research include simulation-based analysis and real-time implementation results, which show accurate robot movements with limited robustness under slippery platforms.
