The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) in electronics, computer, robotics, and internet technology is inevitable and has rapidly accelerated more than before as the IoT paradigm is a promising solution in terms of solving real world problems, especially for digitizing and monitoring in real time. Various IoT schemes have successfully been applied to some areas such as smart health and smart agriculture. Since the agriculture areas are getting narrow, the development of IoT in agriculture should be prioritized to enhance crop production. This paper proposes the IoT scheme for long range communication based on Long Range (LoRa) modules applied to smart agriculture. The scheme utilizes the low power modules and long-distance communication for monitoring temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and pH soil. Our IoT design has successfully been applied to agriculture areas which have unstable network connections. The design is analyzed to obtain the maximum coverage using different spreading factors and bandwidths. We show that as the spreading factor increases to 12, the maximum coverage can be transmitted to 1000 m. However, the large coverage also comes with the disadvantages of the increased delays.

The problem of power factor in the industry is critical. This is due to the issue of low power factor that can make the vulnerability of industrial equipment damaged. This problem has been resolved in various ways, one of which is the Automatic Power Factor Correction, with the most popular device called capacitor bank. There are also many methods used, but several methods require certain calculations so the system can adapt to the new plant. In this study, researchers proposed a capacitor bank control system that can adapt to plants with different capacitor values without using any calculations by using an Artificial Neural Network with a closed-loop controller. The system is simulated using Simulink Matlab to know the performance with two testing scenarios. The first is changing the value of the power factor on the system and changing the value of the capacitor power at each bank, the second comparing it with the conventional methods. The results show that the system has been able to adapt to different capacitor power values and has a better performance than the conventional method in power factor oscillation due to the extreme power factor interference

Classifying epitopes is essential since they can be applied in various fields, including therapeutics, diagnostics and peptide-based vaccines. To determine the epitope or peptide against an antibody, epitope mapping with peptides is the most extensively used method. However, this method is more time-consuming and inefficient than using present methods. The ability to retrieve data on protein sequences through laboratory procedures has led to the development of computational models that predict epitope binding based on machine learning and deep learning (DL). It has also evolved to become a crucial part of developing effective cancer immunotherapies. This paper proposes an architecture to generalize this case since various research strives to solve a low-performance classification problem. A proposed DL model is the fusion architecture, which combines two architectures: Transformer architecture and convolutional neural network (CNN), called MITNet and MITNet-Fusion. Combining these two architectures enriches feature space to correlate epitope labels with the binary classification method. The selected epitope–T-cell receptor (TCR) interactions are GILG, GLCT and NLVP, acquired from three databases: IEDB, VDJdb and McPAS-TCR. The previous input data was extracted using amino acid composition, dipeptide composition, spectrum descriptor and the combination of all those features called AADIP composition to encode the input data to DL architecture. For ensuring consistency, fivefold cross-validations were performed using the area under curve metric. Results showed that GILG, GLCT and NLVP received scores of 0.85, 0.87 and 0.86, respectively. Those results were compared to prior architecture and outperformed other similar deep learning models.

The early identification of plant diseases is crucial for preventing the loss of crop production. Recently, the advancement of deep learning has significantly improved the identification of plant leaf diseases. However, most approaches depend on a single convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract the leaf features, ignoring the opportunity to take full advantage of the feature richness available in the images. This paper explores a novel CNN model with multiple automated feature extractors, namely, dense fusion CNN (DFNet), for classifying plant leaf diseases. DFNet aims to increase the diversity of extracted features in order to improve discrimination. Instead of using a single‐CNN model, DFNet relies on a double‐pretrained CNN model, MobileNetV2 and NASNetMobile, as the feature extractor. The features extracted from each CNN are fused in the fusion layer using a fully connected network. The proposed method was evaluated using corn (Zea mays L.) and coffee (Coffea canephora) leaf disease datasets and compared to the existing models. The experiment showed that DFNet is superior and consistent to other CNN methods by achieving an accuracy of 97.53% for corn leaf diseases and 94.65% for coffee leaf diseases.
