General and specific combining ability is one of the important plant breeding tools used for best selection of F1 group based on the growth and yield contributing factors. This experiment was carried out during 2014 under agro-ecological condition of Tandojam, Sindh Pakistan.  In this study three lines of Bt-008, IR-1525 and neelam-131 as female parents and three testers such as NIA Sadori, NIA Ufaq and NIA Perkh as male parents were investigated based on randomized complete block design which were replicated thrice. In F1 generation, the mean squares for combining ability for target characteristics displayed highly significant GCA effects in lines for all traits except lint index. But in case of testers, the GCA effects were significant for sympodial branches plant-1, seed index and seedcotton yield plant-1 and highly significant only for monopodial branches plant-1, GOT%, staple length. While, mean squares values for the interaction of line x tester revealed highly significant SCA effects for plant height, monopodial branches plant-1, boll weight and GOT%. The two parents Neelam-131 and NIA Ufaq manifested higher general combining ability effects and were good general combiners for yield and yield components and can make a potential material for varietal seed development. For yield contributing characters, crosses IR-1525 x NIA Ufaq and IR-1525 x Perkh showed significant SCA effects among the rest of crosses. Consequently, it is advised that those crosses to be selected having high SCA with better GCA for refining a specific trait.

Current research was conducted to analyze the coefficient and distribution of direct and indirect influence of yield components and earliness characteristics in wheat genotypes. Both experiments were carried out at the Pot House of the (NIA Nuclear Institute of Agriculture, Tandojam) (Latitude: 25.433. Longitude: 68.533), the experiment was established as a randomized complete block design (RCBD). There were six varieties of wheat, namely IBWSN1010, IBWSN 1025, TD1, ESW9525 Chakwal86 and Khirman, which were used to study the correlation coefficient between morphological and physiological traits. The study was based on fifteen (15) morphologically and physiologically traits that were observed. The analysis of variance showed significant differences between the characteristics of the varieties. The ESW9525 showed better performance for all morphological and physiological traits. The correlation and the coefficient analysis showed that the days to maturity and the days to growth predicted significant positive predictions related to the height of the plant (cm) and the length of the ear. Days to 75% heading and days to 75% maturity showed negative and positive effects for osmotic potential, relative water content in% and total chlorophyll content in%. Plant height (cm) had negative and positive and significant with tiller plant-1. Therefore, in our research trial, variety ESW9525 may be favorable for hybridization in order to produce a promising and drought tolerant wheat cultivar

The availability of phosphorus is limited in calcareous soil because of the chemical reaction between calcium and phosphorus by converting it into calcium phosphate. The application of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria as biofertilizer might help in the availability of phosphorus in soil.  So, this study was aimed to enhance phosphorus use efficiency (PUE), growth, and yield of wheat planted by zero tillage drill after rice harvest using biozote-P as a microbial inoculant. Three treatments (T1 = Traditional wheat planting (control), T2 = Zero-tillage Drill wheat planting, and T3 = Zero-tillage Drill wheat planting + Biozote-P) were tested in the rice harvested field at Usta Muhammad, Balochistan during 2019-20. Each treatment was comprised of one acre and the collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics included minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, and standard error. The pre soil properties revealed that the soil was clayey, alkaline (pH>8.0) with low soil organic matter, total nitrogen, and available phosphorus contents. However, post soil properties showed increase in SOM with marginal level reduction in soil pH along with improvement in the availability of TN (0.051%) and P (4.31 mg kg-1) in T3. The ZT and ZT+Biozote-P increased grain yield by 32.09 and 36.94% over traditional wheat planting. So, phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) was increased by 41.77 and 29.22% in T3. It means that Biozote-P application under zero tillage drill improved PUE by 9.71% in comparison to sole zero tillage drill wheat planting. Subsequently, it is inferred that biozote-P (microbial inoculant) can be included in ZT wheat planting in rice-wheat cropping zone of Balochistan.

Authors: Ahmad Ishtiaq , Ahmad Izhar , Muhammad Zahir , Ullah Barkat
Published: February 2022

Seeds of four Sorghum vulgare L. cultivars (Asian, Indian, Mycho, Summer graze) exposed to various doses of gamma irradiation (15 krad, 20 krad, 25 krad, 30 krad) were critically examined for percent emergence, plumule & radical growth, fresh & dry weight and moisture contents. Irradiation doses were instrumental in creating significant variability for all traits except percent emergence, indicating that Sorghum vulgare L. cultivars did not perform uniformly across different gamma rays treatments. Cultivars varied significantly (P < 0.05) for all characters. Similarly, doses × cultivars effects were highly significant for radical growth, percent emergence, biomass as well as moisture contents, indicating greater instability of performance for mentioned characters across different irradiation treatments. Mutagenic treatments shifted mean values towards negative direction for almost all traits except moisture contents. Mutagenic effectiveness was found to be dependent upon dose and genotype concerned. The present study categorically showed that the applied doses of gamma irradiation were unable to enhance percent emergence and seedling growth. Inter cultivar genetic variations were observed among the cultivars.
A Careful Reassessment of Globular Cluster Multiple Population Radial Distributions with Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Johnson–Cousins Broadband Photometry
Authors: Hoogendam Willem B. , Smolinski Jason P.
Published: February 2022

Inconsistencies regarding the nature of globular cluster (GC) multiple population radial distributions is a matter for concern given their role in testing or validating cluster dynamical evolution modeling. In this study, we present a reanalysis of eight GC radial distributions using publicly available ground-based ugriz and UBVRI photometry; correcting for a systematic error identified in the literature. We detail the need for including and considering not only Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K-S) probabilities but critical K-S statistic values as well when drawing conclusions from radial distributions, as well as the impact of sample incompleteness. Revised cumulative radial distributions are presented, and the literature of each cluster is reviewed to provide a fuller picture of our results. We find that many multiple populations are not as segregated as once thought, and that there is a pressing need for better understanding of the spatial distributions of multiple populations in GCs.

Les précautions nécessaires dans l’évaluation des capacités attentionnelles de l’enfant : enjeux du bilan neuropsychologique
Authors: Rousselot-Pailley Bérangère
Published: February 2022

Le bilan neuropsychologique est un outil nécessaire et une aide précieuse au diagnostic du trouble attentionnel. Il est néanmoins indispensable d’avoir en tête sa portée pour l’enfant, mais également pour le parent. La passation n’est aucunement anodine pour l’enfant : si elle sert la cause du diagnostic, elle peut tout autant desservir la confiance en soi de l’enfant si certaines précautions ne sont pas prises. En outre, le diagnostic du trouble attentionnel demande également une subtilité clinique, permettant d’appréhender l’enfant dans la globalité de son développement et de son contexte de vie. Le psychologue, équipé d’une boîte à outils, va concevoir une passation sur mesure permettant d’obtenir des résultats qui reflètent au mieux les ressources et les limites de l’enfant. Tous les temps de la passation sont primordiaux et chacun est porteur d’enjeux.

Plastics have become vital assets for humanity; these materials are used widely in pharmaceuticals, healthcare systems, and many other applications. The rising demand and uses of articles made wholly or partly from synthetic polymers, coupled with their non-biodegradability, contributes to the massive volume of plastic wastes across cities in most developing nations. Thistrend has become an issue of significant environmental concern. However, the fight against COVID-19 would look almost impossible without personal protective equipment (PPE) primarily made from various plastics which in turn, contribute enormously to the volume of waste streams. To circumvent this present challenge, research has been recommending solutions. The existing literature primarily focuses on the most developed countries, emphasising Asian countries with less attention to other developing countries like Nigeria and African countries. This study, therefore, reviewed the personal protective equipment used in healthcare, plastic types employed for their production, and the appropriate technology for managing their associated wastes. The application of proper disposal methods can reduce the toxic effects of discarded plastics on human health and the environment. In this review, the SWOT analysis approach was employed to unveil the benefits, limitations, opportunities, and threats associated with respective waste management approaches. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to intensifier, its adverse impacts on human health and the economy are increasing; authorities are encouraged to address waste management, including medical, household, and other hazardous waste, as an urgent and critical public service to minimize potential secondary health and environmental impacts.

Suppose that $ a $, $ l $, $ m $ are positive integers with $ a\equiv1\pmod2 $ and $ a^{2}m^{2}\equiv-2\pmod p $, where $ p $ is a prime factor of $ l $. In this paper, we prove that the title exponential Diophantine equation has only the positive integer solution $ (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 2) $. As an another result, we show that if $ a = l $, then the title equation has positive integer solutions $ (x, y, z) = (n, 1, 2) $, $ n\in\mathbb{N} $. The proof is based on elementary methods, Bilu-Hanrot-Voutier Theorem on primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers, and some results on generalized Ramanujan-Nagell equations.

Authors: Chen Xianbin ,   School of Economics and Statistics, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou, 510006, China, Yin Juliang
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we study the problem of simultaneous variable selection and estimation for longitudinal ordinal data with high-dimensional covariates. Using the penalized generalized estimation equation (GEE) method, we obtain some asymptotic properties for these types of data in the case that the dimension of the covariates $ p_n $ tends to infinity as the number of cluster $ n $ approaches to infinity. More precisely, under appropriate regular conditions, all the covariates with zero coefficients can be examined simultaneously with probability tending to 1, and the estimator of the non-zero coefficients exhibits the asymptotic Oracle properties. Finally, we also perform some Monte Carlo studies to illustrate the theoretical analysis. The main result in this paper extends the elegant work of Wang et al. [1] to the multinomial response variable case.

In this paper, we investigate a derivative with the two variable orders. The first one shows the variable order fractal dimension and the second one presents the fractional order. We consider these derivatives with the power law kernel, exponential decay kernel and Mittag-Leffler kernel. We give the theory of this derivative in details. We also present the numerical approximation. The results we obtained in this work are very useful for researchers to improve many things for fractal fractional derivative with two variable orders.

This paper aims to investigate the fourth-order boundary value problems with distributional potentials. We first prove that the operators associated with the problems are self-adjoint and the corresponding eigenvalues are real. Then we obtain that the eigenvalues of the problems depend not only continuously but also smoothly on the parameters of the problems: the boundary conditions, the coefficient functions and the endpoints. Moreover, we find the differential expressions for each parameter.

Security of personal information has become a major concern due to the increasing use of the Internet by individuals in the digital world. The main purpose here is to prevent an unauthorized person from gaining access to confidential information. The solution to such a problem is by authentication of users. Authentication has a very important role in achieving security. Mutually orthogonal graph squares (MOGS) are considered the generalization of mutually orthogonal Latin squares (MOLS). Also, MOGS are generated from edge decompositions of complete bipartite graphs by isomorphic graphs. Graph-orthogonal arrays can be constructed by MOGS. In this paper, graph-orthogonal arrays are used for constructing authentication codes. These arrays are the encoding matrices of authentication tags. We introduce the concepts and basic theorems of MOGS, graph-orthogonal arrays, and authentication codes. After constructing graph-orthogonal arrays by MOGS, then there is an established mapping between graph-orthogonal arrays and message set. This manages us to construct perfect non-splitting and splitting Cartesian authentication codes. In both cases, we calculate the probabilities of successful impersonation attacks and substitution attacks. Besides that, the performance of constructed non-splitting and splitting authentication codes is analyzed. In the end, optimal authentication codes and secure authentication codes are constructed.

In this paper, we propose one step convex combination of proximal point algorithms for countable collection of monotone vector fields in CAT(0) spaces. We establish $ \Delta $-convergence and strong convergence theorems for approximating a common solution of a countable family of monotone vector field inclusion problems. Furthermore, we apply our methods to solve a family of minimization problems, compute Frechét mean and geometric median in CAT(0) spaces, and solve a kinematic problem in robotic motion control. Finally, we give a numerical example to show the efficiency and robustness of the proposed scheme in comparison to a known scheme in the literature.

Camera devices are being deployed everywhere. Cities, enterprises, and more and more smart homes are using camera devices. Fine-grained identification of devices brings an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of these devices. Identifying the device type helps secure the device safe. But, existing device identification methods have difficulty in distinguishing fine-grained types of devices. To address this challenge, we propose a fine-grained identification method based on the camera deviceso inherent features. First, feature selection is based on the coverage and differences of the inherent features type. Second, the features are classified according to their representation. A design feature similarity calculation strategy (FSCS) for each type of feature is established. Then the feature weights are determined based on feature entropy. Finally, we present a device similarity model based on the FSCS and feature weights. And we use this model to identify the fine-grained type of a target device. We have evaluated our method on Dahua and Hikvision camera devices. The experimental results show that we can identify the deviceos fine-grained type when some inherent feature values are missing. Even when the inherent feature pmissing rateq is 50%, the average accuracy still exceeds 80%.

Background: Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a crucial cardiovascular disease facing aging societies. Our research attempts to identify immune-related genes through bioinformatics and machine learning analysis. Two machine learning strategies include Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator (LASSO) and Support Vector Machine Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE). In addition, we deeply explore the role of immune cell infiltration in CAVS, aiming to study the potential therapeutic targets of CAVS and explore possible drugs. Methods: Download three data sets related to CAVS from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) looks for potential mechanisms, determines differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) by combining the ImmPort database with CAVS differential genes, and explores the functions and pathways of enrichment. Two machine learning methods, LASSO and SVM-RFE, screen key immune signals and validate them in external data sets. Single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT analyze the subtypes of immune infiltrating cells and integrate the analysis with DEIRGs and key immune signals. Finally, the possible targeted drugs are analyzed through the Connectivity Map (CMap). Results: GSVA analysis of the gene set suggests that it is highly correlated with multiple immune pathways. 266 differential genes (DEGs) integrate with immune genes to obtain 71 DEIRGs. Enrichment analysis found that DEIRGs are related to oxidative stress, synaptic membrane components, receptor activity, and a variety of cardiovascular diseases and immune pathways. Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1(AGTR1), Phospholipid Transfer Protein (PLTP), Secretogranin II (SCG2) are identified as key immune signals of CAVS by machine learning. Immune infiltration found that B cells naï ve and Macrophages M2 are less in CAVS, while Macrophages M0 is more in CAVS. Simultaneously, AGTR1, PLTP, SCG2 are highly correlated with a variety of immune cell subtypes. CMap analysis found that isoliquiritigenin, parthenolide, and pyrrolidine-dithiocarbamate are the top three targeted drugs related to CAVS immunity. Conclusion: The key immune signals, immune infiltration and potential drugs obtained from the research play a vital role in the pathophysiological progress of CAVS.

To address the problems of facial feature point recognition clarity and recognition efficiency in different human motion conditions, a facial feature point recognition method using Genetic Neural Network (GNN) algorithm was proposed. As the technical platform, weoll be using the Hikey960 development board. The optimized BP neural network algorithm is used to collect and classify human motion facial images, and the genetic algorithm is introduced into neural network algorithm to train human motion facial images. Combined with the improved GNN algorithm, the facial feature points are detected by the dynamic transplantation of facial feature points, and the detected facial feature points are transferred to the face alignment algorithm to realize facial feature point recognition. The results show that the efficiency and accuracy of facial feature point recognition in different human motion images are higher than 85% and the performance of anti-noise is good, the average recall rate is about 90% and the time-consuming is short. It shows that the proposed method has a certain reference value in the field of human motion image recognition.

This paper investigates and develops a novel compact broadband and radiation efficient antenna design for the medical internet of things (M-IoT) healthcare system. The proposed antenna comprises of an umbrella-shaped metallic ground plane (UsMGP) and an improved radiator. A hybrid approach is employed to obtain the optimal results of antenna. The proposed solution is primarily based on the utilization of etching slots and a loaded stub on the ground plane and rectangular patch. The antenna consists of a simple rectangular patch, a 50 Ƹ microstrip feed line, and a portion of the ground plane printed on a relatively inexpensive flame retardant material (FR4) thick substrate with an overall compact dimension of 22 × 28 × 1.5 mm3. The proposed antenna offers compact, broadband and radiation efficient features. The antenna is carefully designed by employing the approximate calculation formulae extracted from the transmission line model. Besides, the parameters study of important variables involved in the antenna design and its influence on impedance matching performance are analyzed. The antenna shows high performance, including impedance bandwidth of 7.76 GHz with a range of 3.65Ƀ11.41 GHz results in 103% wider relative bandwidth at 10 dB return loss, 82% optimal radiation efficiency in the operating band, reasonable gain performance, stable monopole-shaped radiation patterns and strong current distribution across the antenna lattice. The suggested antenna is manufactured, and simulation experiments evaluate its performance. The findings indicate that the antenna is well suited for medical IoT healthcare systems applications.
A hybrid-strategy-improved butterfly optimization algorithm applied to the node coverage problem of wireless sensor networks
Authors: Ma Donghui , Duan Qianqian
Published: February 2022

To increase the node coverage of wireless sensor networks (WSN) more effectively, in this paper, we propose a hybrid-strategy-improved butterfly optimization algorithm (H-BOA). First, we introduce Kent chaotic map to initialize the population to ensure a more uniform search space. Second, a new inertial weight modified from the Sigmoid function is introduced to balance the global and local search capacities. Third, we comprehensively use elite-fusion and elite-oriented local mutation strategies to raise the population diversity. Then, we introduce a perturbation based on the standard normal distribution to reduce the possibility of the algorithm falling into premature. Finally, the simulated annealing process is introduced to evaluate the solution's quality and improve the algorithm's ability, which is helpful to jump out of the local optimal value. Through numerous experiments of the international benchmark functions, the results show the performance of H-BOA has been significantly raised. We apply it to the WSN nodes coverage problem. The results show that H-BOA improves the WSN maximum coverage and it is far more than other optimization algorithms.

Professeur de littérature française à l’université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 durant trois décennies, poète lui-même, Pierre Caizergues a consacré sa vie de chercheur à trois poètes importants de la première moitié du xxe siècle, Apollinaire, Cendrars et Cocteau. Cet ouvrage réunit une sélection des articles qu’il leur a consacrés, ainsi qu’à son ami le poète Jean-Claude Renard. La plupart se lisent comme des enquêtes : porté par l’exigeant souci d’ajouter partout des éclairages révélateurs, un peu plus de lumière, Pierre Caizergues accède à des documents jusqu’alors tenus secrets ou réservés, à des collections particulières, à des archives d’éditeur, il reconstitue des correspondances, des collaborations de presse, en exhume d’inédites. Il y a en lui du détective, en même temps qu’un lecteur attentif aux enjeux de la création, qu’il sait irréductible aux enseignements des documents et de l’Histoire. Cocteau voyait dans le poète un « archéologue qui se fouille ». Remercions Pierre Caizergues d’avoir su nous faire connaître avec plus d’exactitude, à l’occasion de ses propres fouilles critiques, les mondes propres aux poètes qui ont occupé sa vie de chercheur.
Two Poetic Laboratories in Comparison: Dante’s Rime and Pasolini’s Poesie a Casarsa
Authors: Moretti Maddalena
Published: February 2022

The intention of this contribution is to investigate the relationship between Dante Alighieri and Pier Paolo Pasolini through a comparative approach. The object of comparison regards the early poetic work of each author, the first rime (ca. 1283-95) and Poesie a Casarsa (1942), which they both then included in later works, an act of repurposing that effectively constitutes the creation of long-term poetic laboratories. Dante reused some of the rime for the Vita Nova (ca. 1295) and for the Convivio (1304-07) and mentioned three of them in the Commedia (1304-21). Pasolini republished Poesie a Casarsa in La meglio gioventù (1954) and later in La nuova gioventù (1975). This study intends to compare Dante’s and Pasolini’s poetic laboratories with the aim of highlighting the strategies employed by the two authors to renew and repurpose their early work. In particular, the intention is to demonstrate that, for both poets, reusing their early poems implied a retrospective re-interpretation of the previous poetic work, which contributed to the construction of the author’s poetic autobiography.
Conceptualising the role of the translator in the global circulation of literature: The case of Look Who’s Back and Jamie Bulloch’s translatorship
Authors: Freeth Peter Jonathan
Published: February 2022

In the study of literary translation, the role of the translator has often been compared to that of the author. As such, and particularly within Anglophone contexts, questions pertaining to who takes ethical and auctorial responsibility for a literary translation dominate discussions of the translator’s role. However, as we expand the scope of literary translation studies to broader sociological and publishing practices, such as the selling and acquisition of translation rights, the creation of paratextual materials, and the promotion of translated literature within a receiving cultural or linguistic context, we similarly need to expand our understanding of the role of literary translators within such processes. To demonstrate this, this article presents a case study of Look Who’s Back and the role of translator Jamie Bulloch in the novel’s movement from German to English, referred to here as his translatorship. In doing so, this article argues that within the contemporary Anglophone context, literary translators serve as key agents in the selection and circulation of foreign-language literature into English that goes beyond their oft-perceived impotence within wider publishing practises.
Literature, Narrativity and Composition in the age of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Arathdar Debarshi
Published: February 2022

My paper attempts to briefly trace the interactions between A.I. and literature while noting the various ways in which machine intelligence participates in the generation and comprehension of narrative. Modern research in A.I. and narrative theory remains deeply involved in the pioneering field of narrative generation, while literary works composed by A.I. are scant, facing major issues with regard to comprehensibility and innovation. What are the factors that limit the literary potential of narrative creation by machines? Can such factors be curbed and how? My paper will briefly try and address these questions regarding the shortcomings of narrative generation and processing by A.I. I shall employ a cognitive-narratological framework in assessing several narratives created by A.I. programs, focussing on schema and frame designs and the lack of coherence in generating meaningful utterances. The paper shall also attempt to highlight how such incomprehensible or often dis-coherent compositions are apt to be cognised by human readers. What does this tell us about our own cognising and mentalizing abilities? The paper will address problems of cognition that play a major role in the development of logical and algorithmic structures for the process of writing as a whole and foretell the limitations of writing machines (whether sentient or not). I believe that the various interactive zones between literary narratives and artificially intelligent structures open up an entire new field of discourse that is worthy of exploration—a field in which the text, society and digital systems come together in a state of “libre jeu.”

The security in the nuclear fuel cycle process has demonstrated that the behaviour of international terrorism is one of the nuclear industrial challenges where the complex algorithm of systems dynamics (SD) is applied. The simulation results are shown by graphs of the security of the nuclear fuel cycle which is related to the security scenarios of nuclear power plant (NPP). The simulation results have higher values, when the security is in worse situations. The importance of the study is the performance of dynamical simulation of the nuclear fuel cycle, the security incorporated with safeguard, and the 10 years’ analysis.

This research article presents a proposal for prototyping a mobile application for adolescents, helping them to know more about their sexual health. This application aims to disseminate knowledge and particular attention to these adolescents that these issues should not be a matter of shame but rather something that will help them to be able to cope in today's society. That is why this application is presented in a dynamic way with interactive games, multimedia experiences and attention through a chat. The idea arose from a problem that was in northern Lima, Peru. Many adolescents have little knowledge of these issues and are exposed to sexually transmitted diseases or early pregnancies, and as a result, they stop studying or worse, die. The development of this project was carried out using an Agile Methodology called Scrum, since we had ideas or requirements of the functionalities that the application required in a short term delivering an already functional design. That's why Balsamiq Mockups was used to visualize how the design would look like by sprint of the stories that were held together. Therefore, in order to consolidate this research, a survey was launched among adolescents in Lima, Peru, showing the results we expect for this research. Keywords— Sexual Health, Agile Methodology, Scrum, teenagers, mobile application, sexually transmitted diseases, early pregnancies

The presence of cloud computing technology is driving changes in the way ERP vendors design, develop, implement, develop and sell ERP products that were previously treated as goods into services. The existing ERP product players who previously provided on-premise ERP solutions are now also providing SaaS solutions to compete with new players providing SaaS solutions. Previous research on the adoption of cloud computing-based ERP has always looked at the adoption factor from the SMEs side, even though the success of implementation is largely determined by the consultant. This study aims to see if there are differences in the priority factors for the adoption of cloud computingbased ERP. This is important because there is a change in the role of consultants who previously played a lot in technical matters for implementing on-premise ERP to SME business process management in SaaS ERP implementation because the technical complexity has been handled by the Vendor. This study uses descriptive statistics to perform different tests and the Entropy method to determine the priority weights of cloud computing-based ERP adoption factors. The results of the study indicate that there are differences in the priority of adoption factors from the consultant's side, the largest is the regulation factor and from the SME side is available resources. For the lowest priority, it turns out to be the same in terms of consultants and SMEs, namely data control. Keywords— Adoption Factor, Consultant, ERP, SaaS ERP, SMEs, consultant, Adoption factor, Entropy.

Solar energy, one of the renewable energy sources, is a solution that meets the increasing electricity consumption problem of humanity today. When the literature is examined, researches and industrial products on issues such as solar panel efficiency and obtaining maximum energy from the sun attract attention in recent years. Solar powered robot arm is an example of these industrial products. Industrial robots can be defined as machines operating in the industry, which have a certain number of axes and limbs, follow preprogrammed and taught trajectories in a reproducible manner thanks to rotational and/or sliding joints and actuators that activate these joints. Nowadays, such robot arms are used in many areas such as car making, phone production, as well as in places where human power is not enough. Industrial robot, which is an important part of the automation system the importance of arms is increasing day by day. Robots, which have recently become widespread in production systems, need to be introduced and adapted to the production systems in our country. This research a modeling study has been carried out for the production of solar powered arduino robot arm. In this context this study is an example of construction manufacturing and computer interaction. The designed 3D robot arm works on the vertical axis while moving in the horizontal plane with 4 servo motors. Keywords— Solar panel efficiency, Arduino software, Robot arm, 3D, Modeling Study.

Intelligent testing prototype for monitoring thermal variables in a thermal chamber according to optimize an ultrasonic washing machine

The following article shows the mathematical analysis, simulations, design and experimental tests of an intelligent prototype for monitoring the physical variables: temperature, which is measured and recorded from inside a system. It contains a platform in a movement more than 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) that is coupled to 4 springs that allow the mechanical movement of the platform that supports the monitoring system. The recording system has the ability to be inside the thermal system (not outside the data monitoring, which is the usual way) for monitoring the thermal variables regardless of mechanical disturbances of movement that generally physical-chemical processes require it. The complexity of the case is that the monitoring hardware must be inserted into a closed system at the controlled range of work from 25 to 70 degrees Celsius and the composition of 3 DOF adapts the recording system to achieve a robust control for a washing machine that uses ultrasound. Since connection and wiring problems disturb the transfer of information, if the monitoring system is outside the thermal system. For this reason, this designed system has the robustness of hardware to isolate the heat that is produced in the thermal camera with respect to the interior of the recorder. Also the appropriate isolation for the hardware that contains the monitoring system is thermally analyzed, which implies that outside the system the process can be from 25 to 70 degrees Celsius and inside the prototype, where the logger circuitry is located, it is around 25 degrees Celsius. However, the analysis of correct filtering and self-control of the system is also necessary during the processing of the information of registered thermal variables, since a large part of the disturbances for data collection is given by the mechanical movement of two degrees of freedom of the thermal system [1], [2]. Finally, it is suggested for a future improvement of this article, the replacement of traditional (electromechanical) sensors by sensors based on nanostructures, because a large part of solutions and strategies for filtering and control through software can be optimized with robust and fast-response sensors. Moreover, this new sensor can avoid mechanical and electromagnetic disturbances.
