Sequencing and assembly of the Egyptian buffalo genome

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is an important source of meat and milk in countries with relatively warm weather. Compared to the cattle genome, a little has been done to reveal its genome structure and genomic traits. This is due to the complications stemming from the large genome size, the complexity of the genome, and the high repetitive content. In this paper, we introduce a high-quality

Real-Time Geometric Representation of Lane-Change Decision for Autonomous Vehicles Using Dynamic Optimization Algorithm

This paper develops a lane-change geometric representation that can be used in an on-road vehicle. The design of the proposed system uses the data collected from active a host vehicle and measures the relative speed between host vehicle and obstacle vehicles in real-time. The available distance to the target lanes measures the separated distance between the host and obstacle vehicles in real-time

Performance Evaluation of Research Reactors Under Different Predictive Controllers

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of nuclear research reactor under two types of predictive controllers. The first one is Receding Horizon Predictive Controller (RHPC) which is considered a simple linear predictive controller. The other one is Neural Network Predictive Controller (NNPC) which is a type of nonlinear predictive controller. These controllers are applied over multi-point

Optimal Design of PID Controller for 2-DOF Drawing Robot Using Bat-Inspired Algorithm

Tuning process which is used to find the optimum values of the proportional integral derivative (PID) parameters, can be performed automatically using meta-heuristics algorithms such as BA (Bat Algorithm), PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and ABC (Artificial Bee Colony). This paper presented a theoretical and practical implementation of a drawing robot using BA to tune the PID controller

Hybrid ARQ-CQI Feedback-Based Access Scheme in Cognitive Radio Networks

In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) network where the primary network's feedback information is utilized to develop an access scheme for the secondary network to exploit the underutilized primary spectrum resources. Secondary users (SUs) identify the spectrum opportunities by sensing the spectrum for primary users (PUs) activities and by listening to the PUs feedback. The feedback

Learning of mobile-traffic patterns for resource management and dynamic power controlling

Recently, the topology control solutions that use static transmission power, transmission range, and link quality, might not be useful. The objective of this paper adapts the transmission power to be adjusted with external changes by applying a machine learning algorithms. We develop a traffic signature algorithm based on traffic clusters of the network sites that have the same behavior then we

Effective capacity optimization for cognitive radio networks under primary QoS provisioning

Cognitive radios have emerged as a key enabler for opportunistic spectrum access, in order to tackle the wireless spectrum scarcity and under utilization problems over the past two decades. In this paper, we aim to enhance the secondary user (SU) performance while maintaining the desired average packet delay for the primary user (PU). In particular, we investigate the trade-off between delay

A Queueing Theory Approach for Maximized Energy Efficiency Traffic Offloading

Traffic offloading is considered a promising solution to relieve the explosive congestion of future cellular networks. Existing works in the literature focus on increasing the number of offloaded users. Nevertheless, users' traffic load plays a critical role in having the ability to relay the data intended for the cellular users. In this paper, we consider the traffic offloading problem in a

Electricity pricing in an emerging deregulated market: A Case of Nigeria and Egypt.

The globalization and rapid industrialization of any country is a function of availability of electricity in desired quality and quantity. Nigeria and Egypt are the most populated countries in West and North Africa respectively with incredible energy resources both renewable and non-renewable. Yet, the former is highly energy deficient when compared to the later. In recent time, the appropriate
