http://ijaers.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us June 2018 The globalizing world and the growing economy cause the companies have to find new quests to survive in the economic competitive environment. The fact that raw materials and production costs are at almost the same level in the same sectors foreground the logistics. Because Logistics plays an active role at every stage from the supply of raw materials to the suplly of products to customers. An optimization that can be done at logistics will directly affect the corporate and enterprise economies. In this study, a multimodal transport optimization experiment was carried out with particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Logistic villages and commercial ports were selected which are suitable for transportation mode change for multimodal transport. With optimization, we have solved the distance parameter for Unimodal Road Transportation and Multimodal Transportation which are widely used in our country. The solution for distance’s parameter was compared and evaluated separately for Unimodal Road Transport and Multimodal Transport. Multimodal transport is seen to be more advantageous for distance’s parameter as a result of evaluation. Finally, the integration of the optimization into intelligent transport systems (ITS) has been investigated. http://ijaers.com/detail/distance-analysis-of-multimodal-transportation-based-on-traveling-salesman-problem-with-particle-swarm-optimization-method/ Omer Faruk Cansiz, Samed Göçmen http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/1-IJAERS-MAY-2018-59-Distance Analysis.pdf The authors aimed with this work to study the “vortex” on the wing tip of a “Blended Wing Body” aircraft using computational tools available that use the methods of“finite element” and “Computational Fluid Dynamics”. The purpose of it is to reduce the vortex intensity, improving stability, reducing the “induced drag” and promoting less turbulence in the aircraft. This new aircraft configuration is a little different from the ones we have today.

Several studies have reported the importance of the amino acid for several treatments, among them glycine that has immunomodulatory, cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of the synthesis of polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanoparticles adsorbed with glycine (NANO-PEG/GLY) on functional activity of colostrum macrophages. Human colostrum cells were obtaining from 18 clinically healthy women and used for bioassays of cell viability, phagocytosis, microbicidal activity and cytokines concentration. It was observed that the cell viability index in the presence of NANO-PEG/GLY was above 85%. Phagocytosis rates in colostrum cells treated with glycine and in the presence of EPEC, wheareas the higest microbicidal index were observed in macerophages treated with PEG-NANO-GLY. IL-1β and TNF-α levels increased in GLY and NANO-PEG/GLY groups. The levels of IL-12 and IL-17 also increased in the macrophages cultures under the NANO-PEG/GLY treatment. In the supernatant cell culture IL-8 and IFN-γ levels were similar among the treatments. The date suggest that NANO-PEG particles produced were able to adsorb the amino acid glycine, and this new bioengineered material is capable of modulating the functional activity of human colostrum macrophages and represents an alternative route for the treatment of inflammatory deseases. http://ijaers.com/detail/polyethyleneglycol-nanoparticles-adsorbed-to-glycine-as-a-bioengineered-neomaterial-for-application-in-inflammatory-processes/ Paulo Celso Leventi Guimarães, Eduardo Luzia França, Adenilda Cristina Honório rança, Ricardo Bentes de Azevedo, Paulo Cesar Morais, Sebastião William da Silva http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/3-IJAERS-MAY-2018-50-Polyethyleneglycol.pdf Typical environmental problems associated with the implementation of solar photovoltaic systems for the generation of peak electrical energy, on a larger scale, such as on the order of 1 MWp, is in the occupied area, usually more than 3 km2. This can be minimized by the use of water parks or water dam’s reservoir, small and large hydroelectric power plants dams. Both the terrestrial and aquatic systems can impact the site, the first one, for the need to promote earthworks, removal of extensive green areas in the surroundings, installation of new transmission line, among others; and the second, despite the fact that a flat surface is already used and that there is no need for new civil procedures for its installation and can normally take advantage of the existing power transmission line, may cause changes in the biota of the reservoir, depending on the shading areas on the surface of the lake. Due to these facts, this research was proposed to investigate, parameterize and tropicalize an electric power generation system based on floating silicon photovoltaic cell panels installed in the Santa Clara HPP reservoir, in terms of peak power, durability, aspects and environmental impacts, with the study of possible evolutionary improvements of the project such as "tracking" or solar tracking, as well as dynamism of the structure, allowing the shadow area to be shifted over time, minimizing its effects in the local biota. http://ijaers.com/detail/feasibility-and-environmental-sustainability-of-a-103-5-kwp-floating-photovoltaic-electrical-system-with-a-case-study-in-a-hydroelectric-power-plant-santa-clara-hpp-located-in-the-south-of-brazil-region/ Kleber Franke Portella, Rodrigo Paludo, Gelson Luiz Carneiro, Júlio Werner Yoshioka Bernardo, Marianne Schaefer França Sieciechowicz, Mariana D'Orey Gaivão Portella Bragança, Nicole Machuca Brassac de Arruda, Emerson Luiz Alberti, Augustus Caeser Fr http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/4-IJAERS-MAY-2018-47-Feasibility.pdf The world today faces a major problem that is the pollution of water resources, occurring a huge loss of water quality. The quality monitoring is of utmost importance for obtaining physical, chemical, biological and ecological information of water resources through sampling. However, this research will cover a study of the waters of São João river, an important water resource for the municipality of Porto Nacional-TO, to meet the demands of the city in relation to supply, fishing, leisure, among others. This project will be directed in three stages: study and demarcation of three points of the hydrographic basin, field methodology and then laboratory methodology. The parameters to be analyzed are: temperature, oxygen, pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, electrical conductivity, total of coliforms, total of solids and turbidity. The project will examine the quality of the water, verifying if the basin has the necessary parameters determined by Resolutions 274/2000 and 357/2005 of the National Environmental Council (CONAMA). http://ijaers.com/detail/monitoring-of-water-quality-in-the-s-o-jo-o-river-hydrographic-basin-in-the-municipality-of-porto-nacional-tocantins/ Rilben Ribeiro Sepúlveda Pereira Moraes, Angelo Ricardo Balduíno, Diogo Pedreira Lima, Polyana Lopes da Silva http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/5-IJAERS-MAY-2018-49-Monitoring.pdf Hydrostatic tests with water are used to evaluate leaks in welds and possible cracks and failures that may have occurred during construction in petroleum storage tanks and derivatives. Defects and cracks in the concrete foundations that support the tank on the ground are also observed in these tests. The use of seawater as a fluid for hydrostatic testing of petroleum storage tanks and derivatives can be a good option in areas lacking fresh water, especially when these tanks are near the sea. The use of seawater is economically attractive; on the other hand, corrosion by seawater is much more aggressive toward carbon steel than corrosion by treated fresh water. The potential advantages of the use of a mixture of silicates and zinc sulphate as a corrosion inhibitor are the effective protection of carbon steel, especially in saline fluids, low cost, and non-aggressive behaviour toward the environment. Gravimetric and electrochemical laboratory tests were carried out using synthetic seawater with the addition of a mixture of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and zinc sulphate (ZnSO4.7H2O). Gravimetric testing with an immersion time of 40 days using 1000 and 2000 mg/L of Na2SiO3 and 150 mg/L of ZnSO4.7H2O gave a good performance and can be used for hydrostatic testing with seawater. http://ijaers.com/detail/proposal-of-the-use-sodium-silicate-as-a-corrosion-inhibitor-in-hydrostatic-testing-of-petroleum-tanks-using-seawater/ Fernando B.

Therefore, the use of solar irradiation for the generation of electric energy is a viable option for regions that present climatic conditions favorable to this technology, as the state of Tocantins does. It is analyzed the feasibility of the energy generation system capable of supplying a building of up to 50m² with monthly consumption of 800kWh using the solar potential of the region. Following the norm that regulates the micro generation of energy in the country, according to the regulatory agency (ANEEL), presenting the components of the system and punctuating the advantages of its implementation. With a survey of energy costs based on the value determined by the concessionaire and the feasibility of deploying solar energy according to the monthly solar irradiation in conjunction with the equipment costs of the system. According to the results obtained from the method of implantation of the system, which is compact and flexible and capable of suiting any existing building structure, which allows a lifespan of close to 25 years, presenting a return on investment in 60 months of operation and providing a 75% reduction in the monthly energy bill, disregarding that this percentage may increase according to possible tariff readjustments.

The central Kwara state falls within the basement complex region of Nigeria known as the hard rock terrain, where availability of groundwater is dependent mainly on structural features. The general curve types obtained from the study area were H, HA, KH and HKH types with the H curve type more prominent in the study area. Three geoelectric sections generated with resistivity parameters ranging between 350 to 1900 ohm-meters, 7.7 to 99.1 ohm-meter and above 3000 ohm-meter; making up the topsoil, weathered layer and bedrock respectively. The topsoil is interpreted as laterite/hard pan within thickness range of 0.4 and 2.2 m while the weathered layer zone ranged between 0.9 to 36.1 m thickness respectively; making the overburden of the area with thickness range of 1.4 to 42.7 m. The bedrock resistivity ranges from 400 ohm-meter to 8192 ohm-meter, indicative of weathered/fractured and fresh basement respectively. The results of the vertical electrical sounding were used to generate clay horizon resistivity map, clay horizon thickness map, aquifer resistivity map and overburden thickness map. This study reveals that the study area is dominated by clay which lead to borehole failure and dry up of hand pump well because most of the hand pump well were terminated within the clayey formation. http://ijaers.com/detail/evaluation-of-groundwater-prospect-in-a-clay-dominated-environment-of-central-kwara-state-southwestern-nigeria/ Bawallah M.A., Adebayo A, Ilugbo S.O., Olufemi B., Alagbe O.A., Olasunkanmi K.N http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/8-IJAERS-MAY-2018-28-EvaluationOf.pdf The use of remotely piloted aircraft systems allows for practicality in the collection and monitoring of study areas or in the development of rehabilitation projects for degraded areas. As such, this technology is gaining space as an alternative for applications in studies and surveys of several areas. This work is justified by the demand for projects and the search for practical alternatives that will enable the framing of rural properties according to the new Brazilian Forestry Code (Codígo Florestal Brasileiro) and its environmental recovery plans (Plano de Recuperação Ambiental). The objective of this study is therefore to evaluate the use of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System in the monitoring of a rural property, seeking to include it in the framework of the Brazilian Forestry Code. To accomplish this work, information samples were taken in an area of 30.19 ha of a rural property with the use of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System - RPAS. After the data collection, the images were treated using the QGis software and through the generation of an ortho-mosaic, which enabled the data to be analyzed and interpreted. With the interpretation of land use and occupation data and with the generation of maps of land use and occupation, a diagnosis of the current situation of the area can be obtained. In a second phase, maps were created to include the property in the current legislative framework, seeking its regularization. After the completion of this work, the conclusion can be drawn that the use of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System - RPAS is viable and enables the monitoring of rural areas with efficiency and speed. http://ijaers.com/detail/characterization-of-the-use-and-occupation-of-soil-on-rural-properties-using-remotely-piloted-aircraft-systems-rpas/ Ivan Carlos Bertoldo, Francisco Nogara Neto, Gean Lopes da Luz, Sideney Becker Onofre http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/9-IJAERS-MAY-2018-41-Characterization.pdf Nowadays, asphalt roads are exposed to increasing traffic loads in recent times. It is important to obtain a quality and healthy asphalt road covering when considering the conditions of our country where freight and passenger transportation are carried out by roads. One of the most important issues in asphalt road design is the determination of the optimum percentage of bitumen. The Marshall stability test is utilized for optimum percent bitumen determination. In our work, instead of the long and laborious Marshall experiment process, Multi Linear Regression (MLR) Models are developed as an alternative. Models were developed for Marshall experiment result for Marshall stability prediction. In order to construct stability estimation models, pre-made test parameters are used. These parameters are; the bitumen penetration (P),weight of the sample in the weather (H), the temperature (C), the bitumen weight (G), the sample heights (Y), the bitumen percentage (W), weight of the sample in water (S), the stability (ST). In the performance evaluation of the models, the correlation coefficient (R), the mean percentage errors (MPE) and the meansquare errors (MSE) are used. It is seen that the model with the highest performance value is composed of six variable model in this study formed by the MLR. The R value of the best model is 0.571.The MSE value of the best model is 14841,81. The MPE value of the best model is 9.58. http://ijaers.com/detail/developing-multi-linear-regression-models-for-estimation-of-marshall-stability/ Omer Faruk Cansiz, Dilay Duran Askar http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/10-IJAERS-JUN-2018-1-DevelopingMulti.pdf The principle of maximum entropy can provide consistent basis for analyzing rainfall and for geophysical processes in general. The daily rainfall data was assessed using the Shannon entropy for a 10-years period from 189 stations in the northeastern region of Brazil. Mean values of marginal entropy were computed for all observation stations and isoentropy maps were then constructed for delineating annual and seasonal characteristics of rainfall. The Mann-Kendall test was used to evaluate the long-term trend in marginal entropy for two sample stations. The marginal entropy values of rainfall were higher for locations and periods with highest amount of rainfall. The results also showed that the marginal entropy decreased exponentially with increasing coefficient of variation. The Shannon theory produced spatial patterns which led to a better understanding of rainfall characteristics throughout the northeastern region of Brazil. Trend analysis indicated that most time series did not have any significant trends. http://ijaers.com/detail/an-analysis-of-rainfall-based-on-entropy-theory/ Vicente de Paulo Rodrigues da Silva, Adelgicio Farias Belo Filho, Enio Pereira de Souza, Célia Campos Braga, Romildo Morant de Holanda, Rafaela Silveira Rodrigues Almeida, Armando César Rodrigue s Braga http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/11-IJAERS-APR-2018-40-AnAnalysis.pdf In this paper, nanocomposite La2Ti2O7-Zeolite-MCM-41is synthesized by optimization of physical properties of MCM-41Zeolite and Nano powder La2Ti2O7  sol-gel method in stearic acid media.

In industrial designs generally the rigidity of the support is neglected in the analysis of flexibility. The work presents an evaluation of the loads transmitted the structures in function of the rigidity of the pipe support. The evaluation was done through computer simulation using finite element techniques. The computational simulation made possible the evaluation of the forces transmitted to the support structures of an existing project of an orifice station, when considering the rigidity of the support. The work also shows that it is possible to refine projects when taken into consideration the influence of the rigidity of the supports, making a more adequate sizing the structure, portraying more faithfully the behavior of the system. The work also evaluates the influence, advantages and disadvantages in the use of stiffness in the supports with regard to the load transmitted to the support structures (support, base and tube). http://ijaers.com/detail/evaluation-of-the-stiffness-effect-of-pipe-supports-in-relation-to-static-and-dynamic-loads-in-a-flexibility-analysis/ Pedro Américo Almeida Magalhães Junior, Tiago Martins Portela http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/14-IJAERS-MAY-2018-57-EvaluationOf.pdf Based on the basic principle of particles and the simple mechanical vibration system, then according to the wave equation and the traditional design theory of the amplitude transformer, we design an amplitude transformer commonly used in the equipment of Ultrasonic machining.

The material behavior analysis is important in this kind of process, since fabrication problems can compromise the final performance of bent components. During the bending process of metal sheets, the sheet undergoes a geometric variation after the withdrawal of the load. This effect, as known as elastic recovery, can be harmful when it is needed to fit two components with low tolerances. The comparative between elastic recovery problem analyses in folded sheets by numerical simulation and the experimental method seeks to anticipate possible inconveniences and additional costs during the try out tests. The numerical results are compared with the experimental laboratory tests. The contact and the interaction between the tool components and the sample boundary conditions are evaluated.

Energy conversion of the free flow in rivers and canals into electrical energy has been a good complementation for the conventional generation. The first application of hydrokinetic turbines, commercially, were in Mississippi’s river (Minnesota, USA), in 2008. The usage of Magnus effect in hydrokinetic turbines occurred in an innovative manner. In this project, rotational cylinders actuate as blades of an axial hydrokinetic rotor, converting kinetic energy of the flow into potency in the rotor axle. This effect was initially observed in 1853 by Henrich Magnus and, since then, few researches were carried out to its application in hydraulic generation of energy. Therefore, tests in reduced-scale prototype and numerical simulations were made for the development and executive design of a hydrokinetic rotor.

Thus, the objective is to make a descriptive analysis to subsidize the adaptation of a program of public policy for technical assistance and Environmental Services Provision (PSA), called the Socio-environmental Rural Family Production Program (PROAMBIENTE). In order to reach this intervention, it will be necessary to comply with a number of steps, which are mainly related to the elaboration of the Development Plan (PD), the Socio-Environmental Certification Standards (PCSA), Individual Diagnosis (DI) and Utilization Plan (PU) and the construction of Community Agreements (AC). In order to do so, future studies on the implementation of the program and its implications through the variables that will be generated will be essential, verifying those that are most influential in land use and landscape change, identifying the variables of change, in order to generate information capable of qualifying the application of integrative policies in NE / PA and RMB. http://ijaers.com/detail/perspective-of-environmental-services-and-management-in-the-amazon-region-par-brazil/ Marcelo Augusto Machado Vasconcelos, Paulo Celso Santiago Bittencourt, Cassiano Moraes Guerreiro, Paulo Alves DeMelo, Francivaldo AlvesNunes http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/24-IJAERS-JUN-2018-11-PerspectiveOf.pdf In this paper, we will present different methods for Power Flow Calculations.

The results that we obtained were presented in graphs at the end of the paper. http://ijaers.com/detail/power-flow-calculations-by-deterministic-methods-and-artificial-intelligence-method/ Meriem Fikri, Touria Haidi, Bouchra Cheddadi, Omar Sabri, Meriem Majdoub, Abdelaziz Belfqih http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/25-IJAERS-JUN-2018-5-PowerFlow.pdf The present study describes the determination and comparison of antibacterial activity, total phenolic content in seeds of seven popular grape cultivars and methanol content of grape juice grown in Turkey. It’s called Muskule, Gokuzum, Razaki, Akuzum, Eksi kara, Siyah pekmezlik and Buzgulu in Turkey. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by the microdilution method and the minimum inhibition concentrations of extracts from determined. The phenolic content was determined using spectrophotometer. Pollution from methyl alcohol, which is extremely harmful for human health was determined using GC. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of grape extracts with antibacterial activity ranged from 0,312 to 5 µg/ml. The total phenolic content of grape seed of EkÅŸi kara was found to be about one-half times as mg GAE/g compare to Büzgülü. The highest methyl alcohol ratios are found in EkÅŸi kara among juice of grape varieties (12.01 g/µl). http://ijaers.com/detail/proximate-analysis-of-seed-extracts-and-methanol-content-of-juice-of-some-grape-varieties-in-turkey/ Ozcan Baris Citil, Yener Tekeli, Aydin Akin, Fatih Sevgi, Tuba Tekeli http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/26-IJAERS-JUN-2018-27-ProximateAnalysis.pdf In Brazil, the root-knot nematode (Pratylenchus brachyurus) has gained importance, whatever because of the damage caused to soybean crops or because of its broad dispersion and incidences in producing areas. Therefore, this invention aimed at developing a new cultivar resistant to the major soybean diseases as well as to the root-knot nematode. As a result, we developed a soybean cultivar designated UFUS 8301. Generations were advanced by the single seed descent method. Value for Cultivation and Use assays were carried out during a 3-year period (2010/13). Distinctness, uniformity, and stability experiments were carried out during a 2-year period (2011/13). We used the reproduction factor (RF) statistics to assess damage and reproductive potentials of P. Brachyurus; analysis of variance tested differences between means. We accepted the null hypothesis there was no difference between UFUS 8301 and the parameter of resistance Crotalaria spectabilis. UFUS 8301 was found distinct from any other cultivar, homogeneous to the descriptors that had identified it and stable through generations. UFUS 8301 presented 19% oil and 39% protein on the seeds, and yield (3687.5 kg ha-1) above Brazilian national average. http://ijaers.com/detail/soybean-breeding-aiming-at-increasing-productivity-and-root-knot-nematode-resistance/ Osvaldo Toshiyuki Hamawaki, Raphael Lemes Hamawaki, Ana Paula Oliveira Nogueira, Jacqueline Siqueira Glasenapp, Cristiane Divina Lemes Hamawaki, Makyslano Rocha Resende, Tuneo Sediyama, Marcio Pereira http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/27-IJAERS-JUN-2018-9-SoybeanBreeding.pdf The optimization of experimental relevance parameters can be considered one of the most critical steps in a scientific work according to the chosen model may contribute to a result that does not match the true great. Thus, it is of utmost importance to the observation of the effects of the variables and the interaction between them in a given system, and the multivariate optimization systems, based on factorial design of experiments, a useful and simple alternative, given the need to assess simultaneously the effect of a large number of variables and their interaction between them from a small number of trials.

Such information is extremely useful even under non-irrigated systems, for it makes possible to adjust sowing date within the crop growing season as a function of the local soil water availability, conditioning therefore a better reclamation of rainfall regime. Crop yield is significantly affected by the atmospheric conditions in order to galvanize researchers to scrutinize the regime of physical environment variables which directly interfere into the consumption of natural resources of crops in production fields. The aim of the current work was to investigate which of the atmospheric evaporative demand estimation methods are more suitable to depict physical reality of the water loss process in order to maximize crop yield and optimize irrigation scheduling under the climatic conditions of Southern Paraná, Brazil. The following methods were tested at two distinct sites of the studied region concerning its performance, taking into account the Penman-Monteith (FAO-56) approach as a standard reference for comparison purposes: simplified Penman, modified Bowen, Hargreaves-Samani, Camargo, and Linacre. The meteorological elements used for the calculation of ETo were monitored by an automatic weather station from Campbell Scientific Inc. throughout the years of 2008 through 2013. We concluded that empirical methods showed an unsatisfactory performance, whereas those methods that took into consideration net radiation as an input variable performed better, being the latter hence to be considered for agricultural planning and also for agrometeorological studies aiming at sustainability of the regional agriculture. The simplified Penman and modified Bowen methods were more accurate for estimating ETo in order to provide irrigation scheduling and indicate local soil water status at the region in study, because dismiss information on wind regimes that govern evapotranspiration rates. http://ijaers.com/detail/performance-of-reference-evapotranspiration-estimation-methods-at-the-southern-paran-brazil/ Luis Miguel Schiebelbein, André Belmont Pereira http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/30-IJAERS-JUN-2018-37-PerformanceOf.pdf Study in 21st century having much transformation in science and technology.

Through this work, AERBETON, which is an air entraining material, was used as an additive to concrete mixture. The purpose is to study its properties when added to concrete before and after hardening, as well as comparing the results with concrete having the same ingredients but without adding this material. In general, the test results has shown it is possible to add AERBETON by 5%, 10%, 15% of the weight of cement to the concrete mixture and so there is a change in the strength of concrete which becomes higher than that of normal concrete mixes. for the durability of concrete, samples of normal concrete and concrete containing the AERBETON air entraining material with different rates of 5%, 10% and 15% of cement weight have been prepared. The test of compressive strength at 7 and 28 days and through the results it showed that the durability of concrete gradually decreases when increasing the proportion of the added material to normal concrete. In addition to this, the ratio of absorption of water of test samples was at its best percentage when adding 5% of the air entraining material by weight of cement. Moreover, among regular concrete mix results, it is shown that the percentage of absorbed water is less than normal concrete absorption and this shows the extent of resistance to moisture, salt water and sea water. http://ijaers.com/detail/effect-of-aerbeton-on-the-mechanical-and-physical-properties-of-concrete/ Ali I.

The present study aimed to compare the technical viability and the cost elementsin different growth medium for A. platensis cultivation. For that purpose, it was proposed the use of three different growth medium, named as M1, M2 and M3 in a lab scale. The growth of the treatments presented a microbial process with characteristic phases. M1, M2 and M3 maximum concentration (Xmax), productivity (Px) and the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) showed no significant difference among treatments. However, M3 presented the lowest cost element, about 45.75% less than the M1 and 38.92% lower than M2. Therefore, the comparison enabled the result that M3 presented the best performance to be used, thus increasing profitability of this production in a lab-scale analysis. http://ijaers.com/detail/comparative-analysis-of-three-growth-medium-for-arthrospira-platensis-cultivation-based-on-lab-scale-results/ Fernando Caixeta, Monica Hitomi Okura, Marlei Barbosa, Lucia Helena Pelizer http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/33-IJAERS-JUN-2018-42-ComparativeAnalysis.pdf We thought to set up a system of interconnection which allows sharing the communication network of data without the intervention of a human being. The Internet of Things system allows many devices to be connected for a long time without human intervention, data storage is low and the level of data processing is reduced, which was not the case with older solutions proposed to secure the data for example: cyber-attack and other systems. But other theories like for example: artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning have a lot to show their ability and the real values of heterogeneous data processing of different sizes and many researchers had to work on it.In the case of our work, we have used deep learning theories, to achieve a light data interconnection security solution; we also have TCP/IP protocol for data transmission control, algorithm drillers for classifications. In order to arrive at a good solution; First, we thought of a model for anomalies detection in Internet of Things and we think about the improvement of architectures of the Internet of the existing objects already proposed a system with a light solution and especially multilayer for an IoT network. Second, we analyzed existing applications of machine learning, deep learning to IoT, and cybersecurity. The recent hack of 2014 Jeep Cherokee, iStan pacemaker, and a German steel plant are a few notable security breaches. Finally, from the evaluated metrics, we have proposed the best neural network design suitable for the IoT Intrusion Detection System. With an accuracy of 98.91% and False Alarm Rate of 0.76 %, this research outperformed the performance results of existing methods over the KDD Cup ’99 dataset. For this first time in the IoT research, the concepts of Gated Recurrent Neural Networks are applied for the IoT security. http://ijaers.com/detail/network-data-security-for-the-detection-system-in-the-internet-of-things-with-deep-learning-approach/ Kalubi Kalubi Deiu-merci, Mayou http://ijaers.com/uploads/issue_files/34-IJAERS-JUN-2018-30-NetworkData.pdf Innovation may be limited by the scarceness of resources, such as financial, homogeneous area, skilled labor or other research needs, for example the difficulty in experimental control of large areas in the field.
