FitLife Brands (FTLF) is a profitable and fast growing nutritional supplements company that is the #1 vendor in the GNC franchise system. The company has showcased a 39% CAGR over the last three years, and expects to grow at a double digit CAGR over the next 3-5 years. John Wilson, CEO of FitLife, and his management team have successfully turned the company around since he joined the company in 2009. In September of 2013, the company completed a recapitalization, which cleaned up the share structure and balance sheet. We feel the perceived customer concentration risk with GNC isn’t well understood by the market, and creates an interesting value proposition for investors.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

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

The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
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.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE 2015 3
4. We deliver
As we enter 2016, I am proud to report that it was with
sound results, a strengthened organisation and with
renewed confidence from the market place.
In 2015, total revenue for the group was up 13
percent and the operating profit margin, adjusted for
extraordinary items related to changes in the pension
scheme in Norway, was 5 percent. All regions in the
group contributed to the results that we achieved in
2015. Our financial strength and solidity improved
in 2015 as a result of the capitalisation of the group,
and we now have a solid base for further strategic
development in the years to come.
GOOD BUSINESS LANDSCAPE
The global testing, inspection and certification (TIC)
industry is steadily growing. New products are
being launched at shorter intervals, whilst trade and
production is becoming more and more global. We
see an increase in regulatory changes, laws and
new requirements. At the same time, businesses are
restructuring and streamlining their organisations,
increasingly relying on outsourcing the highly
specialised TIC services, thus making companies
like Nemko a more integral part of their value chain.
We guide our customers through this complexity and
support them in enhancing global trade. Our customers
want to work with responsible partners and Nemko,
through its business model and transparency in the way
we work, satisfies these requirements.
With our international approval services we are
particularly well positioned to grow together with our
customers. In 2015 we have seen an increase in the
number of certificates sold, new markets and high
demand, especially for our Indian route for international
approval.
ONE NEMKO
In 2015, we initiated a number of internal programmes
under the umbrella of the ONE Nemko philosophy,
supporting our main focus – to deliver as promised!
We have developed and launched our next generation
leadership training with the ambition to persistently
enhance our intercompany collaboration and to better
serve our customers in all markets.
In order to increase company-wide transparency,
we have incorporated the identification of individual
employee goals derived from company strategic goals
through our annual employee dialogues. We have
further developed our ONE Nemko culture programme
– and in March all employees were encouraged to share
how our common cultural statements assist and guide
each and every one of us in our daily work.
In our home market, Norway, in cooperation with
selected stakeholders, we have initiated a programme
aimed at better positioning Nemko with the end-users
by increasing their awareness and understanding. This
will be launched early in 2016.
CUSTOMER CENTRIC
Are we yet again facing a major technology shift in the
market place? How will transitions, like the internet
of things, cloud computing, big data analytics and
mobility, further affect our business and that of our
customers? I am adamant that we shall relentlessly
and consistently improve our listening skills, our
anticipation of and adaption to our customers’ needs,
both present and future.
Our annual customer satisfaction survey tells us that
we are on the right track, with 85 percent
of our customers being satisfied or very
satisfied with our services. This is an
improvement on last years’ good results.
I am proud of what we have achieved
together this year and I would like to
thank all our employees, customers and
business partners for contributing in
making 2015 a very good year for
Nemko.

international networks and bi-lateral agreements we obtain
regulatory access for our customers products in each and
every market globally.
We live in an age of ever-shorter time-to-market
requirements and a constant pressure in keeping costs
down. Globalization requires products to be sold in more
and more countries worldwide. Delays in obtaining access
We are loyal to our ethical guidelines by being compliant
with professional frameworks, regulations, standards and
agreed processes and by abiding to our ethical policy.
Our leaders will
– Set the example. As in any business practice, honesty
and integrity must be top priority for our leaders.
– Have an open door policy and welcome suggestions
and concerns from employees. This will allow employees
and their leaders to be comfortable in discussing issues
and making sound decisions. In addition, employees are
herewith in a better position to alert leaders to concerns
within their teams.
Our promise
Our ethical commitment
to new markets around the world will be costly and
result in lost sales.
Rules and regulations are changing rapidly, making
it time consuming to be up-to-date. Interpretation of
new regulations and approvals is often difficult and
takes time.
Nemko has local expertise and global knowledge.
Our employees will
– Treat everyone fairly, have mutual respect and promote
a harmonious team environment.
– Challenge harassment and discrimination.
– Support our colleagues in making the right choices
ethically, responsibly and based on our values.

14. Nemko is a private, independent company owned by the
NEMKO foundation.
Objective
The objective of the foundation is to promote safety in
the sale and use of electro-technical equipment.
History
Nemko’s history goes back to 1933, when it was
established as an independent association to promote
product safety for electrical products in Norway. Nemko
had the monopoly for testing and approval of electrical
products and material manufactured, imported and sold
in Norway.
The NEMKO foundation was established 19 December
1990, as a continuation of the former state-owned
company Nemko. All such national monopolies were later
abolished by the EU – in 1991.
Mission
The foundation shall, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Nemko AS, maintain internationally competitive and
recognized test laboratories and certification bodies,
who, through their expertise and independent positions,
can contribute to safety within the sale and use of
electro-technical equipment in Norway and worldwide.
Nemko creates value by being a customer-oriented
and knowledge-driven company. Profitable growth
is achieved by assisting our customers with testing,
certification and international market access for electrical
products.
How we are organised
Ownership structure
The foundation ownership structure ensures that Nemko
has the necessary independence and integrity towards
the authorities, accreditation bodies, the customers and
the safety of the product.
The foundation is managed by a board of 10 members, of
which three are employee representatives elected by the
employees of Nemko in Norway and 7 representatives
designated by the following Norwegian industry and
trade associations:
• Elektroforeningen (Norwegian association of electrical
manufacturers, importers and wholesalers)
• Energi Norge (Energy Norway)
• Industriens Forening for Elektroteknikk og
• Automatisering (The Association for Electrotechnics
and Automation in Industry)
• IKT-Norge (The voice of the Norwegian ICT industry)
• Elektronikkbransjen (Consumer Electronics Trade
Foundation)
• NELFO, foreningen for EL- og IT bedriftene (Norwegian

President CEO
Nemko AS is owned by the NEMKO foundation, which
is a private, independent foundation with the purpose
of working for safety in the trade and use of electronic
equipment. The Nemko Group has separate subsidiaries
in 11 countries in Europe, North America and Asia, and is
a world-leading provider of test and certification services
within electro-technical products. Nemko’s headquarters
are in Oslo. The global network is supplemented by
several strategic alliances and partnerships.
In 2015 operating revenue for the group amounted to
NOK 527.3 (460.9) million. The group’s operating revenue
adjusted for currency rate fluctuations increased by two
percent in 2015. The operating result for the group came
to NOK 48.7 (15.1) million with an EBITA margin of 9.5
percent and pre-tax result of NOK 52.5 (17.0) million.
In the autumn of 2015 Nemko AS decided to transition
from a defined benefit to a defined contribution pension
scheme for all employees in Norway. The transition led
to a positive effect through the reduction of net pension
liabilities of NOK 31 million in 2015.
In 2015 the NEMKO foundation decided to sell the
property at Gaustadalléen 30, and in connection with this
Nemko AS entered into a five-year lease with the new
owner. Part of the sales price was used for recapitalization
of Nemko AS, whose liquidity now is significantly
strengthened.
For a number of years Nemko has been a leading global
supplier of CB certificates and has in 2015 retained third
place within the CB scheme. Nemko holds first place in
the TRON (audio/video) and HOUS (household products)
product categories. Nemko is also one of the leading
providers in the number of certificates recognized by
others in the CB scheme. This reinforces Nemko’s strong
position in the area of global market access.
In 2015 Nemko launched a new certification service for
the European market, Nemko Europe. The service helps
customers identify which requirements that apply to safely
sell electrical and electro-technical products in Europe.
Samsung was the first customer to receive a Nemko
Europe certificate, which is a service that is unique to
Nemko.
In Asia Nemko has expanded its facilities in Korea, and
in August a 660 sqm extension with offices and test
facilities was ready. This extension enables further growth
ambitions in Korea, particularly aimed at environmental
and energy testing, and represents a great opportunity
in the region. In October 2015 Nemko’s premises in Salt
Lake City destroyed due to fire. No one was injured, and
the cause of the fire was not related to Nemko’s activities.
The NRTL certification for market access to North
America, which is linked to the Salt Lake City office, has
been continued without interruption, and the negative
consequences of the fire are thus significantly reduced.
For several years Nemko in Norway has worked to
strengthen profitability and customer satisfaction, and this
purposeful work also continued in 2015. The high level of
costs in Norway emphasizes the importance of ensuring
cost-effective operations, and also to concentrate services
in areas that provide better margins.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Nemko AS, which
comprise the financial statements of the parent company Nemko AS, showing a
profit of NOK 16 538 000, and the consolidated financial statements of Nemko AS
and its subsidiaries, showing a profit of NOK 35 162 000. The parent company’s and
the consolidated financial statements comprise balance sheet as at 31 December
2015, and the income statement and cash flow statement for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director’s Responsibility for the Financial
Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the
preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally
accepted in Norway, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the
Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and
auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including
International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
