The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Redefining brain tumor segmentation: a cutting-edge convolutional neural netw...IJECEIAES
Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Use PyCharm for remote debugging of WSL on a Windo cf5c162d672e4e58b4dde5d797...shadow0702a
This document serves as a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to effectively use PyCharm for remote debugging of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on a local Windows machine. It meticulously outlines several critical steps in the process, starting with the crucial task of enabling permissions, followed by the installation and configuration of WSL.
The guide then proceeds to explain how to set up the SSH service within the WSL environment, an integral part of the process. Alongside this, it also provides detailed instructions on how to modify the inbound rules of the Windows firewall to facilitate the process, ensuring that there are no connectivity issues that could potentially hinder the debugging process.
The document further emphasizes on the importance of checking the connection between the Windows and WSL environments, providing instructions on how to ensure that the connection is optimal and ready for remote debugging.
It also offers an in-depth guide on how to configure the WSL interpreter and files within the PyCharm environment. This is essential for ensuring that the debugging process is set up correctly and that the program can be run effectively within the WSL terminal.
Additionally, the document provides guidance on how to set up breakpoints for debugging, a fundamental aspect of the debugging process which allows the developer to stop the execution of their code at certain points and inspect their program at those stages.
Finally, the document concludes by providing a link to a reference blog. This blog offers additional information and guidance on configuring the remote Python interpreter in PyCharm, providing the reader with a well-rounded understanding of the process.

problems for
For Who?
When?
• Owners
• Construction
Managers
• Direct Hire
• Early Planning
• Field Installation
• Turnover /
Commissioning
4. Addresses These Main Issues
Visibility into the planned and current project status
Material availability / engineering drawing production
Cost to complete
Information management / Aggregation
Reactive construction management
Productivity of field labor
6. Main Functionality
• Virtual Construction Model – dynamic updated daily with data from
engineering and construction
• Auto re-organize engr 3D data for construction tracking
– Spools (SpoolGen / IsoGen); Steel Piecemarks, etc …
• Provide construction views – area & systems (others)
• Work steps that relates to all small pieces (every pipe spool, steel
beam) – automatic
• Video game environment to build work packs (detailed planning
– Click, click, click -> print reports (spool list, field materials, checklist –
aka scorecard – for progressing … i.e. get paid)
• Status visualization …. See progress in 3D
– engineering production / Material availability / installation / testing
• Integration with schedule
– Visually produce schedule early in project
– During project … update schedule weekly with progress (summary
reports % complete per schedule )

9. Case Study – Off Shore Platform
Project Background
• Deepwater Offshore Platform - $150M
• Time and materials contract with Fab Yard
• ConstructSim Pipe purchased by Owner and
utilized by module Fab Yard contractor
Project Use-Case
• ConstructSim used to re-baseline schedule, prioritize by TO Systems
Finish project on-time, under budget
• At “sail away”, only 7 Punch List items (compared to 1000’s )
• Development of crew-level work face plans with ConstructSim
Project Return-On-Investment
Investment
Software and Services $1M
Savings
Reduced project cost from labour efficiency $17M
Project completes ahead of schedule 3 mo.
10. Project Background
• New Refinery Unit - TIC $320M.
• Lump Sum Contract with Mechanical Sub
• ConstructSim Pipe purchased by Owner and
utilized by Construction Management firm
Project Use-Case
• Actual progress not in alignment with progress reported in field ... Switch
to progressing through ConstructSim
Project recovers schedule losses to complete on time
• Excessive change order submitted by Mechanical Sub
ConstructSim used to analyze change order and provide visibility to
impact on work
Project Benefits / Savings
Change order reduced from 2.5M to 500K $2M
Project recovered and completed on-time
