Authentic leadership, transparent organizational communication, and employee arrangements are linked to employee trust. Each and every employee has different strengths, and knowing you can count on your team members to fill in your missing gaps helps reduce stress and improve productivity. Trust forms the basis for effective communication, employee retention, and employee motivation and contribution of flexible energy, the extra effort that people voluntarily invest in work. When trust exists in an organization or in a relationship, nearly everything else is easier and more comfortable to achieve. Modern-day employees have a lot of expectations when it comes to their companies. Highly skilled top performers can afford to be selective about the type of company they work for and it has been increasingly shown that employees want to be part of honest, authentic and transparent organisations. Transparency in business is something that has been discussed a lot recently, with a recent Forbes poll revealing that majority of employees think their organizations were held back by a lack of transparency. But it is one thing to be aware of the value of work place transparency and quite another to conscientiously build it into your corporate culture.

Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) being expensive and to be placed optimally, a meta-heuristic approach of Binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) and Binary artificial bee colony optimization (BABC) is made for the optimal allocation of PMU in a power system. The PMU locations resulted are served by basic system conditions like network configuration, critical generators, and loads. The pattern of locations on including Zero-Injection Buess (ZIB) is also discussed. The redundancy in case of PMU loss is coined so as to obtain a complete observability of the power system. the channel limitations of device is also taken into consideration for better results in real-time systems. Optimal PMU locations for IEEE 30-bus and 14-bus systems with channel limits are compared with all above considerations. The number of PMU locations is reduced as channel limits increases. The simulated PMU locations are decreased with improved observability by Binary Artificial Bee Colony Optimization as compared to Binary Particle Swarm Optimization.

In an automotive, the headlights are the most needed equipment to help the drivers to get a proper viewing at night. Major difficulties of visibility while driving at night will be either due to bad weather conditions or due to approaching vehicles high beam striking on the driver. High beams create a problem called glare which makes the driver have partial blindness for a small-time period. The solution for this glaring effect is to either deviate the incident high beam light of the vehicles or to reduce the brightness of the light so that the glare caused can be reduced. This work is an experiment to show how the glare can be reduced by reducing the brightness of the high beam light, by taking inputs of the vehicle speed and proportionally altering the voltage supplied to the head-lamps. With embedded C program language, an experimental setup was made where the voltage supply to the bulb is controlled according to the program. This results in reducing the luminous of the light source. This methodology can be adapted to the existing vehicles

In recent times, the natural resources are demolished due to the technological growth. The agricultural and the forest area are transformed to industries, Storage Warehouse and Container logistics companies to facilitate the living standards. This leads to scarcity of natural resources for the people to live a comfortable life. Due to the change of natural environment and fluctuations in the climate conditions, the forest has the chance of occurrence of fire. The forest fire is the resultant of high temperature, land mine, flight crashes and satellite damages from the environment. The precaution must be taken in advance to protect the coverage of fire. The less attention to fire control may lead to entire damage of the forest and the spreading of fire occurs due to the high wind blow. This makes researchers to focus on helping the forest area to overcome from the fire attack. The detection of fire type is a challenging task after the occurrence of the damage. With this view, we address the prediction of fire type classification using machine learning classification algorithms. The Forest Cover Type dataset is downloaded from UCI Data warehouse repository and done with classification analysis. The prediction of absent hours is achieved in the methodology of four steps. At first, the important feature attributes are found and depicted as a chart. Secondly, the raw dataset is applied to all the classification models like Logistic regression, Kernel SVM, KNN, Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes and Random Forest. Thirdly, the dataset is reduced with PCA and then the reduced dataset is fitted to all the classifiers. Fourth, Performance analysis is done by analyzing the performance metrics like Accuracy, FScore, Recall and Precision. The real time execution is performed by python in Anaconda Spyder Navigator Integrated Development Environment. Experimental Result shows that the Random Forestclassifier is obtained with the accuracy of 92% before applying PCA. After applying PCA, the classifier namely Random forest is analyzed to be having the accuracy of 78% for 15 components, 83% for 20 components and 89% for 25 components.

One of the major factors that affects the performance of adaptive filters like Particle Filter (PF), Marginalized Particle Filter (MPF) and Adaptive Marginalized Particle Filter (AMPF) is sample degeneracy. Sample degeneracy occurs when the weights associated with particles converges to zero making them useless in state estimation. Resampling is the most common method used to avoid sample degeneracy problem, in which a new set of particles are generated and weights are assigned. Performance and execution time of these filter depends a lot on what type of resampling technique is employed. AMPF is the modified version of MPF which is typically faster than PF and MPF. The main aim of this paper is to find the effect of different types of resampling on the performance and execution time of AMPF. For this, a typical target tracking problem is simulated using MATLAB. AMPF with different types of resampling techniques is used for state estimation for the above-mentioned problem and the best in terms of performance and execution speed will be found out. From the simulation, it will be clear that AMPF with systematic resampling is found to be best in terms of execution speed and performance i.e. minimum Root Mean Square Error.

A systematic literature review of 124 studies considering the usage of Massive Online Courses (MOOCs) in higher education of Arab Countries (AC) from 2013 to 2020 is presented in this research. The aim of the research is to provide a broad and systematic literature review regarding MOOCs used among universities’ students. Therefore, based on certain areas, such as, research methods, year of publication, journal, country, type of respondents and author, studies of using MOOCs for educational purposes were analyzed. A great portion of the findings is for the utilization of quantitative and survey research methods with a percentage of 78%, 13% is for the qualitative research methods and 9% for the mixed methods. As shown by the findings, the interest on the topic has increased in the past few years which also indicate that this particular topic will be of great importance for the academic researches to come. Nevertheless, in order to promote and improve the use of (MOOCs) for educational purposes, it is of great significance that the coming studies utilize an extensive utilization of theoretical and methodological approaches like the qualitative methods to inspect the factors which will urge the students to utilize (MOOCs).

This paper proposed on Poisson process-based algorithm is to carry out content-level deduplication for the streaming data. Since Poisson processes are meant to do the counting of different events happening over a period of time and space, it becomes appropriate to use it for identifying duplications of data as it gets streamed based on time and space, which can allow the deduplication process to be carried out in tandem. Some of the research on deduplication has been focusing on File-level and Block-level deduplication while the focus can be brought to content-level, as data get streamed lively and becomes more dynamic. With this approach, the content-level deduplication will allow the data to be scanned intelligently and at the same time, it can save the deduplication operation time. Also, streaming data has its randomness which is innately there and by having Poisson process based deduplication it will address the random behaviour of the data transfer and can work efficiently in the dynamically connected environment. The proposed method identifies the unique data to store in the Database. Based on the experimental result, the Poisson Process-based algorithm produce 0.912 Area Under Curve (AUC) accuracy on real-world streaming data, which means that if AUC is greater than 0.8 then the performance of algorithm is pretty good. So, the machine intelligence-based deduplication model produced reliable and robust deduplication on streaming data compared to existing approaches.

The electrical power consumption in the domestic areas and homes are very large as compared to the urban areas, the domestic purpose is significantly increased to a great extent. Since people forgets to switch OFF the electrical appliances connected to the home electrical power supply, the electricity bill comes with high charges, as the person in the house forgets to switch OFF the electrical appliance. This paper presents a system for automatically switch ON/OFF the electrical appliance upon the presence of a person inside the room, the system will count the number of person enters/exits from the room and then accordingly switches ON/OFF the electrical appliances. This system is affordable and can be used by everyone for saving huge amount of electricity bill by saving electrical energy when no one is present in the room.

swelling soils exist in many developing urban regions in egypt. Most of these urban regions have new huge developments under constructions. The structures constructed on these swelling soils may be exposed to high damage if any significant change in the moisture content of these swelling soils occures, so the presence of such swelling soils represents a significant hazard. Investigation the behaviour of these swelling soils as well as determination of their swelling parameters has become highly necessary. In this paper, intensive experimental testing program has been conducted on some soil samples collected from some of these regions to determine their swelling parameters. Through this experimental testing program, oedometer swell test has been firstly conducted on same soil with two different techniques; namely different pressure method and huder-amberg method. The procedures and obtained results of the two used methods are discussed and compared showing advantages and shortages of each method. After that, all subsequent experimental tests were perfomred using huder-amberg method as it demonstrated high superiority in determining swelling parameters. Grob’s 1d swelling law was applied to all obtained experimental results to give exact and complete determination for all swelling parameters. Furthermore, swelling soil has been simulated numerically via the new user-defined swelling constitutive model which has been recently implemented for the finite element software plaxis. The suitability of this model to simulate the performance of swelling soil is verified by conducting a numerical simulation to one of the huder-amberg oedometer tests through the oedometer soil test facility available in plaxis software. Finally, based on the above-selected experimental approach, swelling parameters were determined from the experimental tests conducted on different soil samples collected from some selected arid/semi-arid regions in egypt. Such test results were summarized and presented as a useful key-parameters of these swelling soils which can be used as pre-determined inputs in any further numerical analyses.
