This paper introduces a simple non-invasive technique for real time monitoring of medical equipment modes of operation based on its power consumption pattern. Mode of operation detection is needed to specify the medical equipment reliability, availability, maintainability and usability. The Electrical Signature Analysis technique (ESA), is applied to monitor the overall power consumption of the electromechanical and power components inside the medical equipment. ESA is extracted using the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the electric current measured by a meter interfaced to a PC via its USB port. The ESA of the medial equipment is recorded, analyzed and correlated with the stored electric current consumption patterns of each specific mode of operation. The results were promising to accomplish the medical equipment monitoring application.}, keywords = {Clinical engineering,asset management,Medical equipment monitoring,ram,usability}, url = {https://jesaun.journals.ekb.eg/article_109852.html}, eprint = {https://jesaun.journals.ekb.eg/article_109852_cc8f7ab75441c3a0d5ed6dddc7d2c54c.pdf} } @article { author = {Kamal, Noha and Hammad, Abdallah and Salem, Talaat and Omar, Mohie}, title = {EARLY WARNING AND WATER QUALITY, LOW-COST IOT BASED MONITORING SYSTEM}, journal = {JES.

However, there is still a lack of real-time water quality data that influences the urgent decision making process. The field acquisition of such data has still been costly, lengthy and laborious. Therefore, this paper aims to present a low-cost and labor-saving Early Warning Framework (EWF) for water quality monitoring of the River Nile based on the Internet of Things (IOT). A newly developed Prototype was introduced to monitor the in-situ water quality parameters; pH, turbidity and temperature at a pilot location along the River Nile within Egypt. The same parameters were also monitored using the current state-of-the-art multi-probe EXO.Then, both sets of data measurements were sent to a real-time monitoring control center for comparison and calibration. The comparison results revealed that there is no significant difference between the two measurements according to a statistical analysis done using the Minitab 16 statistical model. The Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values showed that the error percentages were accepted for the three monitored parameters (0.19 for pH, 0.056 for temperature, and 0.52 for turbidity). Moreover, the overall cost of the developed Prototype including sensors, raspberry Pi and all other expenses was found to be only 197 $ as compared to 11,130 $ when using EXO. Accordingly, it could be concluded that the developed Prototype can provide a low-cost early warning system for water quality monitoring. Finally, it is strongly recommended to install developed real-time water quality monitoring stations as economic wireless hotspots at a number of strategic sites along the River Nile within Egypt.}, keywords = {Water quality monitoring,Internet of Things,Raspberry Pi,EXO}, url = {https://jesaun.journals.ekb.eg/article_115742.html}, eprint = {https://jesaun.journals.ekb.eg/article_115742_caaaa77d3a2d46fd2ada51e8a1952471.pdf} } @article { author = {F.

The external envelope of the building is one of the most important factors affecting the thermal gain or loss within the residential spaces. As the designer tries to enhance the natural lighting within the residential spaces, he may sometimes ignore the convex thermal load of the glass used in the openingsTherefore, there are many different reasons to control the amount of solar radiation within the spaces, because increasing in thermal loads leads to an increase in consumption of cooling energy.The thermal performance of the exterior envelope of the buildings (wall, ceiling, openings, and floor of the building) is one of the most important problems that consume energy in a large amount in order to achieve the requirements of thermal comfort inside the buildings. The thermal loss of single-storey buildings is estimated at 45% of the walls and outside windows, while the thermal loss in the multi-story building is estimated at about 70% of the walls and outside windows.[1] Therefore, the external envelope of the building represents one of the most important factors affecting the achievement of thermal comfort and reduction of thermal loads to reach the highest energy efficiency in residential buildings because of continuous exposure to solar radiation.The type of glass used and the well-designed sun shading devices can significantly reduce the peak heat acquisition and cooling requirements and improve the natural lighting quality, the annual cooling capacity reduction would reach 5% to 15%.The aim of this research is to review the modern ideas of the types of glass used in the openings to achieve the highest reduction in the requirements of cooling within the residential spaces and clarify the differences between the different types of glass.The methodology includes reviewing the literature and the different types of glass used in the openings and methods of treatment of the openings to reduce the thermal loads which gained inside the spaces.
