Abstract: We present a simple sequential data protocol (SSDP) - an implementation of a lightweight message encoding and exchange protocol for Arduino-based sensor devices. The protocol supports simple data types, strings and binary arrays with low overhead. It defines several types of messages used to di...     Read More

Abstract: Recent research and practice have shown that cloud-based ERP systems if implemented correctly can be beneficial to the maritime logistics and supply chain process. It allows the entire Maritime Industry to share and analyze data across all divisions and help with the improvement of inefficient ...     Read More

Abstract: The need to find a sustainable method easily understood and applied by a common construction engineer in less technically advanced countries compels us to start the work presented in this paper as a pushover method in bridge-vehicle interaction research. Handling limited scientific resources to ...     Read More

Abstract: Experiments and computations were conducted on infrared radiant burner operated on natural gas/air mixtures. The burner had not porous media and consisted of plates (recuperative elements) of heat-resistant metal alloy (Fe base, Cr 25%, Al 6%) with high thermal conductivity. The height of the r...     Read More

As the digital technology displaces the traditional customer services and experience economy employee's work, ...     Read More

Abstract: A vibro-impact system driven by an DC electric motor is analyzed. The vibro-impact system is consisting of a crank-slider mechanism and one oscillator attached to it. Oscillator can impact in a fixed wall. The impact model has been assumed as inelastic, causing the change of velocity in sign and int...     Read More
