The harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on aquatic animals, due to ozone layer reduction, have been long studied in recent years. Exposure of Rainbow Trout larvae (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) at different doses (68.75 µw/cm2 and 94.83 µw/cm2 as the minimum and maximum dose of UV-B in natural environment respectively) for 15 minutes once a day in dark condition in...

Tuning of PID controllers is a hard task, sometimes that’s almost an art. Different paradigms have been proposed to optimize the tuning of these controllers, some of them have given acceptable results, others have not done it. From heuristics to artificial intelligence have been used, but in this paper we used Type-2 Fuzzy Logic to tuning a PID controller applied in three transfer functions, an...

The forecasting problem is one of the main environmental problems that need efficient software tools. More concrete, it can mean meteorological/weather forecasting, air/soil/water pollution forecasting, flood forecasting and so on. Several methods based on artificial intelligence were proposed by taken into account that they can offer more informed methods that use domain specific knowledge, an...

Smart-home concept has been around for many years and played a very important part in the design and implementation of future houses. Early research focus on the control of home appliances but current trends are moving into a creation of self-thinking home. In the recent years many research projects were performed utilizing artificial intelligence tools and techniques. This article highlights r...

Solar energy is a significant, environment-friendly source of renewable energy. The solar absorber transforms radiation into heat as an effective green source. Therefore, increasing its absorbing capacity can improve absorber’s effectiveness. This paper proposes tungsten tantalum alloy with silicon dioxide (WTa-SiO2) ceramic layer-based system two different metasurfaces to enhance absorptivity ...

Most solar applications and systems can be reliably used to generate electricity power in many homes offices. Recently, there is an increase required that found not only generation but other such as distillation, water heating, heating of buildings, meteorology producing conversion energy. Prediction radiation very significant order accomplish the previously mentioned objectives. In this paper,...

The need for successful software projects has been a major area of discourse amongst researchers and software developers in academia and software industry respectively. Failure of software projects has been tied to flawed estimation at the early stages of software development life cycle. Recently, soft computing techniques such as Fuzzy logic models has been seen as an alternative to handle unc...
