Edge AI for Real-Time Vision: Challenges, Limitations, and Future Research Directions
type: item
description: This survey synthesizes methods that enable real-time computer vision on edge hardware under tight latency, energy, and memory constraints. We conducted a systematic review of 150+ studies (2018–2025) spanning lightweight CNNs and ViTs, compression (pruning, quantization, distillation), compiler/runtime optimization, hardware acceleration (NPUs/TPUs/FPGAs), and edge–cloud collaboration. Across comparable settings, INT8 quantization typically yields 2–4× higher throughput and 2–5× lower energy than FP32; representative mobile backbones (e.g., MobileNetV3-L) achieve millisecond-level latency with competitive accuracy on NPUs; and hybrid CNN–ViT models offer a ~15–20% better accuracy–latency balance than pure CNN or ViT baselines when compiler fusion is effective. We also document trade-offs where preprocessing/postprocessing can account for 20–60% of end-to-end time, and cases where compression underperforms due to operator support gaps. Our unique contribution is a unified taxonomy aligned to practical deployment choices (model class × optimization × hardware), plus prescriptive “when-to-use-what” recommendations for mobile, embedded, and micro-edge targets. Recommendations: prefer INT8 with hardware-supported ops; pair hybrids with fusion-aware toolchains; budget for pre/post-processing; and consider split inference for heavy workloads.

Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor- Submersible Pump System with V/f Algorithm under Stator Short Circuit (SSC) Fault
type: item
description: Three-Phase Induction Motors (IM) has been used widely in AC drives. Rotating machines, like IM's and Centrifugal Pumps (CP) including Submersible Pump (SMP), play a basic role in industrial applications as desalination stations and petro-chemical industries. This paper aims to study and design the mathematical model of Induction Motor-Submersible Pump (IM-SMP) system, and the simulation of the system done by using Matlab environment. We used V/f control algorithm for pump speed regulation. We presented a study and simulation of Stator Short Circuit (SSC) fault of induction motor. We used a mathematical Sequence Analysis technique for detection the SSC fault. The simulation results showed ability and efficient of drive system algorithm for achieving the research goals, such as regulation of pump speed at different load torques, and overcoming some system faults such as, no load pump operation, and SSC fault. The simulation results showed the current, speed, torque and flow rate waveforms compared with a healthy motor state. The simulation results showed a variation on the negative component in sequence analysis as pointer to SSC fault.

A Comparative Study of Safer Electrical Systems in Developing Countries-Quantitative Approach in Egypt and Iraq
type: item
description: This study presents a comparative quantitative analysis of electrical safety systems in developing countries, using Egypt and Iraq as case studies. The objective was to evaluate critical factors influencing electrical safety and identify areas for improvement by comparing practices with those in industrialized nations. Structured questionnaires were distributed to 156 chartered engineers, certified electricians, and lecturers, of which 122 valid responses were collected (response rate = 78.2%). The survey measured the perceived significance of five variables—installation codes and standards, product standards and economic factors, inspection and testing enforcement, risk attitude and cultural factors, and educational and training factors-using a 5-point Likert scale. Statistical analyses, including Chi-square (χ² = 525.75, p < 0.001) and ANOVA (F = 261.02, p < 0.001), confirmed significant differences in importance among factors. Educational and training aspects received the highest rating (91.8% “very important”), whereas risk attitude and cultural factors ranked lowest (6.6%). Reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach’s α of 0.76, indicating moderate internal consistency. Additional data from 42 lecturers identified deficiencies in training units on “Inspecting, Testing, and Commissioning” (17%) and “Ensuring Safe Site Working” (22%). The findings underscore that enhancing vocational education, revising inspection frameworks, and enforcing safety codes are pivotal for reducing electrical hazards. The study recommends reforming technical training curricula, strengthening enforcement capacity, and promoting intersectoral collaboration to achieve sustainable safety improvements in developing contexts.

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Hypereutectic Al–14%Si Alloy by Adding Alumina Particles of Different Sizes Using the Taguchi Method
type: item
description: This study examines how adding 3 weight percent Al2O3 particles with different particle sizes (25 μm, 50 μm, and 100 μm) using the stir casting technique can improve the mechanical and tribological characteristics of a hypereutectic Al–14%Si alloy. To create the composites, preheated Al2O3 particles were evenly distributed throughout the molten Al–Si alloy and solidified carefully. Vickers hardness and pin-on-disc dry sliding wear tests were used to assess the mechanical performance, whereas optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterise the microstructures. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array design was used to systematically optimise the experimental parameters, such as the particle size, applied load, and sliding time. The effects of these parameters on the wear behaviour were examined using ANOVA. The finest 25 μm particles achieved the most uniform distribution and the highest hardness of 110 HV, compared to 92 HV for the unreinforced alloy. The results showed that the addition of Al₂O₃ significantly improved the particle–matrix interface and refined the grain structure of the composites. A strong correlation between increased surface hardness and decreased wear rate was confirmed by the wear resistance, which significantly improved as the particle size decreased. According to the statistical analysis, the most important factors influencing the wear rate were particle size, applied load, and sliding time. This study demonstrates how optimising the particle size can improve the performance of Al–Si– Al2O3 composites. High wear resistance and durability are crucial for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial components, and these composites show great promise owing to their fine particle reinforcement and optimised processing conditions.

Surface Analysis Using Cloud Computing: An Applied Study on the Google Earth Engine Platform
type: item
description: Objectives: This study aims to retrieve a digital elevation model (DEM) and perform surface analyses using Google Earth Engine (GEE) as a free and open-source cloud-based platform. It seeks to highlight the efficiency and capability of GEE in processing and analyzing large-scale spatial data without relying on advanced local computing resources or licensed software. The study also aims to enrich the Arabic scientific literature with research focused on GEE applications. Methods: A descriptive-analytical approach was applied to Saudi Arabia through surface analyses including hillshade, slope, slope classification (Young, 1997), area and percentage of each class, aspect, and contour lines at 200 m and 500 m intervals, using the open-source SRTM30 DEM via GEE. Results: Seven maps were produced to represent the surface analyses of the study area, namely: elevation, hillshade, slope, slope classification according to Young (1997), aspect, and contour lines at 200 m and 500 m intervals. These layers underwent basic processing, including tile merging into a unified raster, color gradient adjustment, and final map layout using ArcGIS Pro. A table was also prepared showing the area of each slope class. Conclusions: The findings confirm that GEE offers a practical alternative to traditional software for performing surface analyses across large geographic extents due to its cloud-based capabilities and access to open data. The post-processing steps were simple and can also be performed efficiently using open-source GIS software such as QGIS, supporting the use of flexible and cost-free tools in spatial research, especially in academic environments with limited resources.

The impact of the Vision 2030 projects on contemporary architecture: Analytical study of Saudi architecture map
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the impact of the Saudi Vision 2030 projects on contemporary architecture and to demonstrate the importance of contemporary architecture in preserving national identity. Its significance stems from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which has had a clear impact on improving the quality of contemporary architecture through large projects such as the Public Investment Fund projects, NEOM, the Red Sea projects, and the tourism sector. These contribute to creating innovative designs that enhance the quality of innovation and strengthen national identity by integrating national heritage, resulting in an urban scene with specifications and contemporary Saudi architectural designs. In this research, we present an analytical study of the map of Saudi architecture, illustrating how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia combines contemporary and traditional architecture under Vision 2030 and how the projects of this vision contribute to the future of contemporary architecture. I relied on a questionnaire as a data collection tool, distributing it to citizens in areas where the map of Saudi architecture was implemented, with a sample size of 150 citizens, of which 82% were male and 18% female. The statement regarding the impact of the Kingdom's Vision projects on architecture received a high percentage, followed by Saudi architecture map.

Large Language Models in Intellectual Discourse: An Empirical Evaluation of Performance
type: item
description: Large language models (LLMs) have witnessed a qualitative leap that enables them to generate long, coherent texts with advanced contextual understanding and reasoning. Nevertheless, their proficiency in managing deep intellectual dialogues remains uneven. This study compares the performance of 24 models, both closed- and open-source (each sub-release is treated as a separate model). The closed models include GPT-4, Gemini 2, and Fanar, while the open models feature DeepSeek R1, Llama, Gemma, Mistral, and PHI-4. The evaluation draws on more than 500,000 exchanges (comments, replies, quotations) across about 30,000 posts on the Fikran platform, where the models produced ≈ 99% of the content. Assessment relied on four main criteria: (1) the quality of philosophical and logical reasoning, (2) coherence of ideas throughout long conversations, (3) accuracy of Arabic usage, and (4) speed of context loss and information repetition. Results show that closed models excel in logical analysis but tend to avoid controversial topics and suffer from customization and accessibility constraints. Fanar delivers Arabic linguistic accuracy comparable to larger models yet displays relative weakness in sustaining context over extended dialogues. Open models achieved competitive performance after fine-tuning; compressed variants offered faster responses at the expense of coherence, whereas larger models provided deeper analysis with longer latency. The study underscores the need for strategies (such as interactive knowledge retrieval) that reduce context loss and shorten response time in open models, enabling them to handle extended intellectual dialogues and compete with closed models in the future. Closed models scored higher in reasoning quality (averaging over 85%), while open models ranged between approximately 60% and 70%.

The Effect of Iron Slag Powder Addition on the Performance of Self-Compacting Concrete
type: item
description: This study aimed to utilize iron slag as a cementitious binder in varying proportions (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) by weight of ordinary Portland cement (42.5 KN). To achieve this, the iron slag was ground to match the fineness of cement and subsequently replaced in the designated proportions. Laboratory experiments were conducted on self-compacting concrete to assess the impact of iron slag addition on its properties in both fresh and hardened states. In the fresh state, performance was evaluated using tests such as the slump flow test, J-Ring test, and others. In the hardened state, the compressive strength of concrete cubes was measured at different curing ages (7 and 28 days), along with the absorption test, providing insights into the relationship between permeability and concrete durability. This study contributes to industrial waste reduction by repurposing iron slag instead of disposing of it in open sites, thereby conserving vast land areas and mitigating environmental impacts. Additionally, it offers a local alternative to imported materials. Despite the use of a lower water-to-cement ratio (0.42) compared to conventional concrete (0.45–0.375), the results confirmed the efficiency of this concrete type, demonstrating satisfactory mechanical and engineering properties. The findings indicated that incorporating iron slag enhances concrete workability, reduces bleeding, and improves mix homogeneity and resistance to segregation. Moreover, its inclusion increases compressive strength by reducing permeability. The study concluded that replacing 10–15% of cement with iron slag produces high-performance concrete while minimizing environmental impact, making it a viable option for sustainable construction, particularly in heavily reinforced structures or those exposed to chemical environments.

Improvement of Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Rayleigh Fading and AWGN Environments for Cognitive Radio Networks
type: item
description: Cognitive Radios (CRs) improve spectrum efficiency by tracking users' movements using spectrum-aware devices. However, inadequate spectrum sensing can cause interference and incorrect detection. This paper explores cooperative spectrum sensing using OR-rule's detection performance in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels, revealing that cooperative spectrum sensing only slightly improves detection in low signal-to-noise ratio situations. The authors propose an adaptive threshold method for CRN receivers, which outperforms fixed threshold approaches and reduces sensing errors in low SNR situations, highlighting the effectiveness of adaptive thresholds in improving CRN sensing performance to improve detection efficiency. The study uses MATLAB to analyse the relationship between signal to noise ratio (SNR), detection probability, and false alarm probability. Results show that adaptive detection thresholds improve detection efficiency, especially in low SNR cases, addressing the issue of interference and enhancing detection accuracy.

Review on building energy effeciency through optimized building envelopes
type: item
description: Energy-efficient building envelopes consider material thermophysical properties and wall section configuration to optimize energy consumption for cooling and heating in response to climate. A review of 80 papers revealed that published information on this subject is diverse, contains inconsistencies in findings, and shows contradictory results. Therefore, hypothesizing a suitable building envelope for efficient year-round performance per climate is difficult through published literature alone. The aim of this paper is to identify trends and gaps in studies regarding efficient year-round building envelopes. Relevant literature published from 1997 to 2023 was reviewed. A data extraction process was used to organize performance parameters of thermal insulation and thermal mass. The relationships between climate, wall configuration, and thermophysical properties in published experimental studies were then analyzed. Results of static thermal insulation investigations revealed a trend where the most common placement is interior or embedded, however inconsistencies in results were found depending on climate. Dynamic insulation is predicted to show promising results, although it is a novel solution under research. Moreover, multilayer walls of thermal insulation and thermal mass show better mitigation for thermal discomfort in climates with high diurnal fluctuation compared to other climates. Furthermore, latent heat storage using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) was found to be more advantageous than sensible heat storage. This study highlights future potential research on building envelopes in different climates and microclimates and their respective thermophysical properties requirements.

Designing a Hybrid System based on between Deep learning Network with Face Detection algorithm for Emotion Recognition through Facial Features Analysis
type: item
description: Objectives: In recent years, the demand for automatic emotion recognition systems has increased for use in various fields, including efforts to modify an individual's mood to improve mental health, as well as assisting in identifying the emotions of children with autism spectrum disorder who struggle to express their emotional states. Deep learning networks are linked with face Detection algorithms. If a deep learning network is used alone, any object detected in the image will be considered as a face and will be processed to determine whether it has emotions or not. This results in high computational complexity, very high response time, and low accuracy if there is more than one face in the same image. Methods: In this research, images were first introduced into the Fer-Net convolutional neural network after performing some preprocessing operations. The Fer-Net was selected after experimenting with several other CNN. Facial features were then extracted from the network, and these extracted features were classified into four basic emotions. Additionally, several standard databases were tested individually, such as FER-2013 and AffectNet, for training and evaluating the network. Subsequently, the previous databases were merged with other databases like RAF-DB and CK+ to increase the number of training samples and evaluation samples in order to avoid the issue of overfitting. Finally, we linked facial detection with the classification network obtained from the trained model using the MTCNN algorithm to identify the faces present in the image before analyzing the facial features and determining the emotions extracted from them. Results: First, Data Augmentation was implemented on the data in standard database (Fer-2013), and the overfitting problem was resulted.
