This paper presents a comprehensive deep learning-based system to evaluate the educational videos' suitability for students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Current methods frequently ignore important instructional elements that are necessary for improving learning experiences for students with ADHD, such as instructor hand movements, video length, object variety, and audio-visual quality. We emphasize two key issues for how to address these difficulties, first, we present the ADHD online instructor (AOI) dataset, a particular benchmark for assessing instructional hand movement in video suitability to solve the absence of a reference dataset for classifying educational videos relevant to ADHD. Second, the system includes creating an enhanced multitask deep learning model that increases classification accuracy by using task-specific enhancements and optimized architectures. This solves the requirement for a strong model that can distinguish between suitable and unsuitable instructional content. Comprehensive tests using pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) models indicate that the enhanced VGG16 model outperforms baseline methods by achieving a highest accuracy of 97.84%. The results highlight the value of integrating deep learning methods with structured benchmark datasets, exposing up the path to more resilient and flexible instructional materials designed for students with ADHD.

Synthesis of nonlinear multilinked control systems of thermal power plants

10.11591/ijece.v15i5.pp4500-4507
Oksana Porubay , Isamiddin Siddikov
The paper addresses the synthesis of nonlinear control laws for the technological parameters of drum boiler steam generators in thermal power plants, based on a synergetic control approach. The controlled system is considered to be multidimensional and highly interconnected. The inherent nonlinearity and interdependence of the technological parameters in thermal power plants necessitate the use of nonlinear control laws to achieve effective regulation. This approach enables the expansion of the range of permissible variations in regulator parameters, thereby ensuring the desired dynamic behavior of the controlled variables. An analytical method for synthesizing nonlinear vector control laws for steam generators is proposed. A methodology is developed for designing dynamic regulators capable of compensating for uncertain disturbances while accounting for control constraints. A Lyapunov function is constructed to describe the internal state dynamics of the control object. The proposed method for constructing the dynamic regulator ensures the asymptotic stability of the control system and stabilization of the controlled parameters over a wide range of load variations.

Right in the context of digital marketing, this paper presents a comprehensive integrated system that combines the latest artificial intelligence advancement – large language models and diffusion models – to generate marketing email subjects and content that result in higher engagement. The system uses finetuned large language models for compelling email subject generation and finetuned Stable Diffusion model for visually appealing and convincing email content images creation. For the latter, both knowledge graphs and vector embeddings have been incorporated to improve contextual relevance. Experimental results demonstrated significant improvement in all engagement metrics that marketers rely on, including 46% growth in open rates, 56% higher click-through rates, and an 51% boost in conversion rates, all compared to human generated content. The unified approach presented by this paper outperforms standalone models and human-generated content in terms of engagement, as the comparative analysis shows. We also discuss the ethical considerations related to content bias and personalization boundaries, alongside challenges faced in this type of projects, such as computation demands and probable solutions. Finally, this paper proposes future directions to be taken, including expansion to other digital marketing channels, the use of other advanced artificial intelligence techniques, and the development of real-time content adaptation mechanisms based on user feedback.

The internet of things (IoT) is a key element of the future internet, enabling the acquisition and transfer of data to improve efficiency. One challenge in IoT networks is managing the energy consumption of nodes. IoT innovation constantly evolves dynamically, contributing significantly to sustainable cities and economies. Clustering techniques can help conserve energy and extend the operational lifespan of network nodes. Cluster heads (CH) manage all cluster member (CM) nodes within their group, establishing intra-cluster and inter-cluster connections. Enhancing the CH selection process can further prolong the network lifespan. Various algorithms aim to extend the active duration of IoT nodes and the overall network lifespan. A comparison of the five algorithms shows that one algorithm is better than the others in some cases. This paper discusses how fusion techniques using the random forest (RF) algorithm can enhance energy efficiency in IoT networks. Five algorithms are compared using RF, a robust machine-learning algorithm renowned for its ensemble learning capabilities. It selects the best one based on active nodes per round, residual energy for each round, and the average end-to-end delay.

Tomographic image reconstruction enhancement through median filtering and K-means clustering

10.11591/ijece.v15i5.pp4395-4408
Nguyen Quang Huy , Nguyen Truong Thang
Ultrasound tomography is a powerful and widely utilized imaging technique in the field of medical diagnostics. Its non-invasive nature and high sensitivity in detecting small objects make it an invaluable tool for healthcare professionals. However, a significant challenge associated with ultrasound tomography is that the reconstructed images often contain noise. This noise can severely compromise the accuracy and interpretability of the diagnostic information derived from these images. In this paper, we propose and rigorously evaluate the application of a median filter to address and mitigate noise artifacts in the reconstructed images obtained through the distorted born iterative method (DBIM). The primary aim is to enhance the quality of these images and thereby improve diagnostic reliability. The effectiveness of our proposed noise reduction approach is quantitatively assessed using the normalized error evaluation metric, which provides a precise measure of improvement in image quality. Furthermore, to enhance the interpretability and utility of the reconstructed images, we incorporate a basic machine learning technique known as K-means clustering. This method is employed to automatically segment the reconstructed images into distinct regions that represent objects, background, and noise. Hence, it facilitates a clearer delineation of different components within the images. Our results demonstrate that K-means clustering, when applied to images processed with the proposed median filter method, effectively delineates these regions with a significant reduction of noise. This combination not only enhances image clarity but also ensures that critical diagnostic details are preserved and more easily interpreted by medical professionals. The substantial reduction in noise achieved through our approach underscores its potential for improving the accuracy and reliability of ultrasound tomography in medical diagnostics.

Remote sensing applied to cocoa crop identification, a thematic review

10.11591/ijece.v15i5.pp4848-4855
Luisa Fernanda Cuellar-Escobar , Vladimir Henao-Céspedes
This article presents a thematic review of 25 publications related to the use of remote sensing techniques for the identification of cocoa crops from 2000 to 2023. Although the use of remote sensing techniques is widely used for mapping different covers because it is very useful in discriminating them, the generation of maps of cocoa crops presents challenges due to their spectral behavior similar to that of forests. This is because cocoa cultivation, being an agroforestry system that is developed in association with timber trees, causes the classification algorithms used to fail to differentiate between forest cover and cocoa crops. For this reason, this study seeks to investigate the different remote sensing techniques used in the mapping of cocoa crops, as well as an analysis of the structure of the publications highlighting the connections between countries and the factors that motivated the authors to research this crop.

Decomposition of the surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is vital for separating the composite, complex, noisy signals recorded from muscles into their integral motor unit action potentials (MUAPs). By precisely identifying each motor unit’s activity, this method offers greater insights into the functioning of the neuromuscular system, which helps isolate each motor unit's contribution, making it essential for understanding muscle coordination and diagnosing neuromuscular disorders. In this study, we employ the maximal overlapping discrete wavelet transform (MODWT), which is well-suited for analyzing signals in the time-frequency domain. The study decomposed the sEMG signal into six levels to identify the neural activity of finger movements and analyzed the motor unit action potential (MUAP). In the frequency range of 30.2 and 64.6 Hz, the signal exhibits the highest MUAP which is independent of movement. Using inverse MODWT, it was rebuilt from the decomposed levels. With 95.8% accuracy, the similarity between the reassembled signal and the original signal was determined using correlation analysis to assess the efficacy of the method.

In India, overspeeding causes more than 60% of deaths. Therefore, we need a system that tracks the median speed of cars and identifies those who regularly violate the law. Road fatalities can be reduced as a result of maintaining law and order. In this paper, we present an embedded system that can read the license plates of passing cars in real time. Using optical character recognition technology, the proposed system will capture images of license plates. In addition, it sends short message service (SMS) notifications regarding the highway speed of a specific moving vehicle violating the rules to the relevant authorities. By using this technique, several manual operations that were previously required to detect over-speeding automobiles with RADAR guns are eliminated. On the roadway, the device can only be operated by one operator due to its well-developed user interface. As part of this work, a downloadable database is developed which includes information about speeding vehicles as well as vehicles travelling on a roadway at the moment they are detected.

In Indonesia, growing fish consumption demands necessitate expanded, yet sustainable, fish production without sacrificing quality. The process of feeding and the quality of the surrounding water are important factors influencing fish quality. To address this, Parahyangan Catholic University's Fishery 4.0 project pioneers a unique technology that integrates water quality monitoring with a fish feeding feature. The design and implementation of an independent, reliable power module, which is fundamental to the functionality of this system, is at the focus of this research. This study shows that a designed power module adapted to the specific needs of Fishery 4.0 is feasible. The system powers all modules with a 12 V battery and is recharged with a solar panel. The battery can be charged to 95% capacity, yielding 8550 mAh from a 9000 mAh capacity. A UC-3906 charger IC controls the charging process, deliberately managing the parameters required for optimal battery charging. Particularly, when exposed to ideal solar radiation, the charger recharges a 9 Ah battery from 30% to full capacity in about 10 hours and 10 minutes. This study proposes a novel to battery management, which is critical for the operation of aquaculture equipment at isolated locations.

10.11591/ijece.v15i5.pp4355-4365
Ahmed Amine Barakate , Sami Choubane , Abdelkader Hadjoudja
In this paper, we present a procedure for extracting data from a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) panel to program a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller based on the fuzzy logic (FL) method, aiming to optimize the performance of the photovoltaic system. Photovoltaic data acquisition enables the determination of the input and output speech universe for the MPPT controller using fuzzy logic. This method adapts to nonlinear systems without requiring a complex mathematical model. Additionally, it improves the performance of the photovoltaic system in both dynamic and steady-state conditions. To further enhance the method’s efficiency, an asymmetric membership function concept is proposed based on the dynamic behavior study of the photovoltaic system. Compared to the symmetric method, the asymmetric fuzzy logic controller achieves higher maximum power output and better tracking precision. This technology is essential for maximizing photovoltaic panel efficiency, a key requirement as solar energy gains prominence as a clean and renewable energy source.

Ngoc Trung Dang , Quynh Nga Duong
This article investigates the discount factor-based data-driven reinforcement learning control (DDRLC) algorithm for completely uncertain unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) quadrotors. The proposed cascade control structure of UAV is categorized with two control loops of attitude and position sub-systems, which are established the proposed discount factor-based DDRLC algorithm. Through the analysis of the Bellman function's time derivative from two perspectives, a revised Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation including a discount factor is developed. Then, in the view of off-policy consideration, an equation is formulated to simultaneously solve the approximate Bellman function and approximate optimal control law in the proposed DDRLC algorithm with guaranteed convergence. According to the modified state variables vector, the development of the discount factor-based DDRLC algorithm in each control loop is indirectly implemented by transforming the time-varying tracking error model into the time invariant system. Finally, a simulation study on the proposed discount factor-based DDRLC algorithm is provided to validate its effectiveness. To validate the tracking performance of the quadrotor, four performance indices are considered, including IAE_p=3.0527, IAE_Ω=0.1175, ITAE_p=1.8408, and ITAE_Ω=0.0144, where the subscript p denotes position tracking error and Ω denotes attitude tracking error.

10.11591/ijece.v15i5.pp4387-4394
Omar Elkhoundafi , Rachid Elgouri
Solar energy is a viable alternative to fossil fuels, but its efficiency is limited by photovoltaic panel overheating, which causes a decrease in efficiency. This paper suggests a passive cooling method that incorporates aluminum heat sinks beneath the solar cells. This simple, low-cost device maximizes heat dissipation using natural convection. It requires no external energy. The goal is to provide a solution to the challenge of selecting an effective, sustainable, and flexible cooling system while considering technological, economic, and environmental constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that modules fitted with heatsinks experience an average 8.13 °C drop in temperature, as well as a 0.51 V rise in open-circuit voltage when compared to the reference panel. This increase demonstrates how well-designed passive solutions can dramatically improve the energy performance of solar panels. The study emphasizes the relevance of thermal design in photovoltaic system optimization and provides specific opportunities for the development of more efficient solar technologies, particularly in high-temperature situations.
