With the growth of smart grids, consumers now have access to new technologies that enable improvements in the quality of service provided and allow new levels of energy efficiency. Much of this increase in energy efficiency is directly related to cha...
Indoor localization technology is becoming increasingly widespread, but traditional methods for constructing Wi-Fi fingerprint databases face significant challenges, particularly in large, multi-room environments. These methods often suffer from low...
Today, the Vocational Education and Training (VET) curriculum in Greece is state-regulated, combining school-based and work-based learning, and it is offered at upper-secondary and post-secondary levels. There is a need to prepare a new agenda for VE...
This study introduces a novel method that addresses the challenge of visualizing and quantifying detection coverage areas in wireless sensor networks. The method involves projecting a network of range-free sensors and pre-existing transmitters, locat...
The main challenge of this scientific work was the implementation on an industrial olive oil extraction plant of an NIR device for the multispectral analysis of pomace to predict the percentage of humidity and oil contained in it. Subsequent to the i...
Assessment of the influence of vibration isolator parameters on the distribution of the system’s natural frequencies is a significant task in the design of vibration isolation systems. The root method was used to determine the natural frequenci...
Virtual studies involving pedestrians have gained relevance due to the advantage of not exposing them to actual risk, and simulation setups have benefitted from rapid technical advancements, becoming increasingly complex and immersive. However, it re...
This paper presents a comprehensive review of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models used for demand forecasting in supply chain management. By analyzing 119 papers from the Scopus database covering the period from 2015 to 2024, this stu...
This paper introduces the EGTL (extract, generate, transfer, load) model, a theoretical framework designed to enhance the traditional ETL processes by integrating a novel ‘generate’ step utilizing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI...
As the patent landscape continues to grow, so does the complexity of retrieving relevant “prior art”, “background art”, or “state of the art” from an expanding pool of publicly available patent data, a critical ste...
The surge in big data and analytics has catalysed the proliferation of cybercrime, largely driven by organisations’ intensified focus on gathering and processing personal data for profit while often overlooking security considerations. Hadoop a...
To minimize the environmental impact of energy enterprises, it is important to promptly identify cases of possible changes in the quality of wastewater generated at power plants, that is, cases of exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations of c...
This article advances the research on the intelligent monitoring and control of helicopter turboshaft engines in onboard conditions. The proposed neural network system for anomaly prediction functions as a module within the helicopter turboshaft engi...
In a labor-intensive cell production system, it is important to train operators effectively because their skills are essential for productivity. Our previous study proposed a method to classify these skills according to a “skill index” ba...
The N policy is a buffer and transmission management scheme proposed for nodes in wireless sensor networks to save energy. It exploits the concept that the output radio of a node is initially switched off until a critical queue of packets is built up...
In the footwear industry, occupational risks are significant, and work accidents are frequent. Professionals in the field prepare documents and reports about these accidents, but the need for more time and resources limits learning based on past inci...
Soft continuum robots, with their flexible and deformable structures, excel in tasks requiring delicate manipulation and navigation through complex environments. Accurate shape sensing is vital to enhance their performance, safety, and adaptability....
This paper explores the application of sliding mode control (SMC) as a robust security enhancement strategy for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems. The study proposes integrating advanced SMC techniques with security protocols to develop a dual-pu...
This article presents the results of research on the energy security index in Poland. Since the development of renewable energy sources forced by the transformation of the national energy system will require an increased supply of rare earth elements...
The procurement of goods is considered a critical part in supply chain management, and it often has several unprecedented barriers leading to failure of the project. Uncertainties in availability, cost and demand-supply matching combined with stringe...
The development of science and technology constantly injects new vitality into dance performance and creation. Among them, three-dimensional (3D) vision technology provides novel ideas for the innovation and artistry of dance performances, expands th...
Since in the automotive field colors play an important role, the present study tried to answer the following questions: is the perceived quality (PQ) of the vehicle interior color different after visually exploring the car body color? If so, how? Her...
This paper presents AI Asthma Guard, a novel wearable device designed to predict and alert users of impending asthma attacks using artificial intelligence. The system integrates physiological and environmental sensors to monitor health metrics such a...
Heart disease, a global killer with many variations like arrhythmia and heart failure, remains a major health concern. Traditional risk factors include age, cholesterol, diabetes, and blood pressure. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) offers a...
E-commerce has become uniquely relevant to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as an essential catalyst for their growth and sustainability. SMEs see e-commerce portals as a strategic way to engage in digital business activities without having...
Researchers tackled the challenge of finding the right parameters for a transformer-equivalent circuit. They achieved this by minimizing the difference between actual measurements (currents, powers, secondary voltage) during a transformer load test a...
Educational institutions are increasingly using audio-based learning resources and technologies nowadays, especially for students who are auditory learners and visually impaired. The ability to design and create online educational talking books with...
Emerging assistance systems are designed to enable operators to perform tasks better, faster, and with a lower workload. However, in line with the productivity paradox, the full potential of automation and digitalisation is not being realised. One re...
This study inaugurates an innovative field of research for Global Quality Management System (G-QMS) in System of Systems (SoS), integrating emerging and rapidly evolving disciplines of QMS, SoS Globalization, and Systems approaches, chiefly Systems T...
