http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us December 2019 The geometric heights obtained from GNSS observations cannot be used for engineering works as they are not reduced to the geoid. This study presents practical local geoid modelling from gravimetric observations using the modified Stokes integral for engineering applications in Benin City. A total of 52 points were observed with GNSS receivers and a gravimeter to respectively obtain their positions and absolute gravity values. The theoretical gravity values of the points were computed on the Clarke 1880 ellipsoid to obtain their local gravity anomalies. The modified Stokes integral was applied to compute the geoid heights of the points. The combined topographic effect was applied to the computed geoid heights of the points to obtain their precise geoid heights. The mean of the precise geoid heights of the points was computed to obtain the local gravimetric geoid model of the study area. The determined geoid model was validated for its reliability as well as the accuracy using the RMSE index. It is recommended that the use of assumed, as well as handheld GPS receiver heights for engineering works should be totally abolished as this study has established the local geoid model of Benin City. http://ijaems.com/detail/practical-local-geoid-modelling-of-benin-city-nigeria-from-gravimetric-observations-using-the-modified-stokes-integral/ Oduyebo O.

Based on the consideration of the primary control of the turbine governor and the reserve power of the generators for secondary control, the minimum amount of load shedding was calculated in order to recover the frequency of the power system. Computation and analysis of Voltage Sensitivity Index (VSI) of the load bus to prioritize distribution of the amount power load shedding at these positions. The lower the load bus have the Voltage Sensitivity Index (VSI), the higher the amount of load shedding will shed and vice versa. With this technique, frequency and voltage value are still within allowable range, and a large amount of load shedding could be avoided, hence, saved from economic losses, and customer service interruption. The effectiveness of the proposed method tested on the IEEE 37 bus 9 generators power system standard has demonstrated the effectiveness of this method. http://ijaems.com/detail/a-voltage-sensitivity-index-application-for-power-system-load-shedding-considering-the-generator-controls/ L T Nghia, T T Giang, Q H Anh, P T T Binh, N T An, P H Hau http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/2IJAEMS-11220193-Avoltage.pdf This study determined the expected skills of newly hired Business Education Graduates.

The first year conducted last year found a draft learning model was found, namely the OSGIPE model. In this second year a formative trial was carried out on the OSGIPE model through individual, small group, and limited field trials. In the second year it was found that the OSGIPE model was feasible and effectively used to improve the soft skills of vocational high school technology students. There was a significant increase in students' soft skills by 23.05%. In the third year, a summative trial will be carried out, namely through a wide-scale test to see the effectiveness of the OSGIPE model for further dissemination. http://ijaems.com/detail/the-effectiveness-of-the-osgipe-learning-model-based-on-the-indonesian-national-qualification-framework-to-improve-soft-skills-of-vocational-high-school-technology-students/ Julaga Situmorang, Siman, Yuniarto Mudjisusatyo http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/4IJAEMS-11220194-Theeffectiveness.pdf Nanotechnology is a most fascinating area of research now a days. The unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, that is, catalytic reactivity, high surface area, size and shape, have the potential to open new paradigms and to introduce new strategies in agriculture. Specific agronomic applications of nanotechnology include enabled delivery systems of release of agrochemicals allowing a controlled release of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, field-sensing systems to monitor the environmental stresses and crop conditions and improvement of plant traits against environmental stress and diseases. In the present review, a brief introduction about the recent nano-innovations in agriculture is introduced. This will paves the way to further investigations in this regard. http://ijaems.com/detail/nano-approach-towards-sustainable-agriculture-and-precision-farming/ Vedpriya Arya http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/5IJAEMS-11220196-Nano-approach.pdf In recent years, research work has increasingly taken a new direction, allowing the analysis of certain intangible factors, in particular information and economic intelligence. On the other hand, at the strategic level, economic information management has become one of the essential drivers of the global performance of companies and nations. To keep abreast of changes, and to contribute to theoretical and practical debates, through our contribution we will try to analyze the relationships which exists between the economic intelligence practices and performance, and then propose a conceptual framework http://ijaems.com/detail/the-mediating-effect-of-the-information-systems-use-on-the-relationship-between-economic-intelligence-and-organizational-performance/ Salma EL BOURIMI, Mustapha Belaissaoui http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/6IJAEMS-11220191-Themediating.pdf In this paper we present a deep Literature Survey on Personality. Personality is a psychological concept intended to explain the broad range of human behaviors in terms of a few, consistent and observable individual characteristics. In this regard, any technology that includes knowing, predicting and synthesizing human nature is likely to gain from technologies to Personality Computing, i.e. technologies that can deal with human character.This paper is a study of these technologies and seeks to provide not just a strong knowledge and understanding on the state-of – the art, and also a conceptual model underlying the three main issues discussed in the literature, Electronic Recognition of Character(Inference from behavioral knowledge of an individual or group true character),Automatic recognition of identities(Personality inference other people attribute to an applicant based on observable actions) and Automatic combination of identities (Artificial personality production by means of embodied agents). http://ijaems.com/detail/survey-on-personality-predication-methods-using-ai/ Jadhav Saloni, Jaras Mansi, Patil Payal, Sonawane Sunita. http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/7IJAEMS-112201913-Surveyon.pdf Informal lending is one of the Philippines ' most common sources of funding for households.

The question serves as an instrument to gather the needed information to sustain the problem stated. The profile of the respondents also asked to complete the data needed. Statistical treatment was used to get the percentage of the question. Based from the data gathered, the researchers drawn conclusions regarding to the effects of prohibiting smoking in public places in Cabanatuan City on the users of cigarettes of Cabanatuan Terminal, Cabanatuan Market and NEUST Campuses. The main cause of smoking is weak legislation cause users of cigarette. On the result of the effects of smoking is air pollution and it is one of the major causes of global warming. Therefore, the researchers formulated the following recommendation based on the smoker’s responses: there should be a strict implementation of the rules and regulations to avoid smoking and at the same time to lessen a person smoking in public places; there should be an increase of tax of cigarette to lessen the buyers; and the government should add more police officer to secure the public places if there’s anyone who violates the law about smoking ban. http://ijaems.com/detail/the-effects-of-prohibiting-smoking-in-public-places-in-cabanatuan-city/ Mary Chris Austria-Cruz http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/9IJAEMS-112201910-TheEffects.pdf
