Continuous Conduction Mode of Bridgeless SEPIC Power Factor Correction Rectifier
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
This paper deals with modelling and simulation of Single phase AC-DC Bridgeless Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) with Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) for Power Factor Correction (PFC) rectifier. The topology is improved by the absence of an input diode bridge and the presence of only two semiconductor switches in the current flowing path during each switching cycle which results in lesser conduction losses and improved thermal management compared to the conventional SEPIC converters. By implementing the improved topology in CCM it ensures almost unity power factor in a simple and effective manner. The CCM operation reduces the complexity of the control circuitry. An operating principle and a detailed analysis of the proposed converter are presented. It is shown that the efficiency of the SEPIC Converter can be significantly improved. Performance Comparisons between the improved and conventional SEPIC PFC rectifier are carried out using MATLAB software and result is presented.

Performance of Steel Frame by Pushover Analysis for Solid and Hollow Sections

  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
The research concentrates on a computer based push-over analysis technique for performance-based design of steel building frame works subjected to earthquake loading. Through the use of a plasticity-factor that measures the degree of plasticisation, the standard elastic and geometric stiffness matrices for frame elements (beams, columns, etc.) are progressively modified to account for nonlinear elastic–plastic behaviour under constant gravity loads and incrementally increasing lateral loads. The analysis is performed for two steel frameworks of solid and hollow members. This investigation aims to analyse the difference in structural behaviour between hollow and solid frames. The technique adopted in this research is based on the conventional displacement method of elastic analysis.

Utility Fp-Tree: An Efficient Approach for Mining of Weighted Utility Itemsets
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Conventional association rules mining cannot satisfy the demands emerging from certain real applications. By regarding the diverse values of distinct items as utilities, utility mining concentrates on discovering the itemsets with high utilities. In recent times, high utility pattern mining is one of the most significant research issues in data mining because of its ability to account for the non-binary frequency values of items in transactions and diverse profit values of each item. In this paper, we have presented an efficient tree structure for mining of high utility itemsets. At first, we have developed a novel utility frequent-pattern tree structure, an extended tree structure for storing crucial information about utility itemsets. Then, we have utilized the pattern growth methodology for mining the complete set of utility patterns. The efficiency of the high utility itemsets mining is achieved with two major concepts: 1) a large database is compressed into a smaller data structure as well as the utility FP-tree avoids repeated database scans, 2) our proposed FP-tree-based utility mining utilize the pattern growth method to avoid the costly generation of a large number of candidate sets in which it dramatically reduces the search space. Experimental analysis is carried out on our mining trees structure concept using different real life datasets. The performance evaluation of our proposed approach is efficient in mining high utility itemsets.

Erodibility and Runoff Potential of Three Well Defined Series of Laterite Soils in Kerala under Simulated Rainfall Conditions
  • Abstract
  • Keywords

  • Full Article
Soil erosion is one of the most serious environment degradation problems. However reliable measurement of soil erosion remains limited and estimates of soil productivity are even rare. Identification and assessment of erosion problems play an important role in influencing better land use and conservation practices. Rainfall simulators are considered as an effective tool in soil conservation research. Simulators make it possible to produce predetermined storms at any desired instant and location. Laterite soils are by far the most important soil group occurring in Kerala. The present study was undertaken to estimate the erodibility and runoff potential of the three well-defined series of laterite soils, viz. Mannamkulam series, Naduvattom series and Vellanikkara series under various simulated rainfall intensities and land slopes. The results of the study showed that soil loss and runoff increased with increased rainfall intensity for all the slopes in all the selected soil types. A general trend of increase in soil loss and runoff with slope was also observed in all the three series of soils studied.

A Proposed Data Mining Technique to Improve Decision Support System in an Uncertain Situation
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Decision Support System (DSS) is equivalent synonym as management information systems (MIS). Most of imported data are being used in solutions like data mining (DM). Decision supporting systems include also decisions made upon individual data from external sources, management feeling, and various other data sources not included in business intelligence. Successfully supporting managerial decision-making is critically dependent upon the availability of integrated, high quality information organized and presented in a timely and easily understood manner. Data mining have emerged to meet this need. They serve as an integrated repository for internal and external data-intelligence critical to understanding and evaluating the business within its environmental context. With the addition of models, analytic tools, and user interfaces, they have the potential to provide actionable information that supports effective problem and opportunity identification, critical decision-making, and strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. The proposed system will support top level management to make a good decision in any time under any uncertain environment.

Optimization of Magnetic Levitation System
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
In magnetically levitated system in certain applications like magnetically levitated train or bearingless motors the distance between the magnet and the levitated object has to be constant. The nonlinear system in such cases can be linearized and transfer function of the system is obtained. But a proper controller is required to manipulate the current through the magnet coil. The simplest controller to achieve this is the PID controller. But it was observed that as the levitated object deviated from the desired position, the gain of the PID controller set for one position did not hold good for some other position. Hence particle swarm optimization technique was implemented to determine the gains. Though optimal performance can be obtained for only one value of desired position y1d of the object, but acceptable performance can be there for a small range of values of y1d. PID with PSO is found to be easy to implement, has stable convergence and good computational efficiency.

Performance of Stone Waste Aggregate Concrete Slabs under Impact Loading
  • Abstract
  • Keywords

  • Full Article
This paper presents the behaviour of stone waste aggregate (SWA) concrete slabs under impact loading. The stone waste was obtained during extraction of layered stone (at mines) and at polishing stone industries. This stone waste is converted in useful aggregate and used in the concrete as coarse aggregate in the place of natural aggregate with replacement levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. For each replacement level, three slab specimens were cast and tested. 0% replacement level consider as Natural Aggregate Concrete (NAC) slabs. The SWA slabs were compared with natural aggregate concrete (NAC) slabs. The results showed that the SWA slab performance is less than the natural aggregate concrete slabs. From experimental results, regression models were developed to estimate energy absorption at first and ultimate crack stages. In addition to the slab specimens cubes were cast and tested. The cube strength results were used during development of regression models.

Novel Approach for Content-based Image Retrieval System
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
The content based image retrieval (CBIR) is one of the most popular, rising research areas of the digital image pro- cessing. Most of the available image search tools, such as Google Images and Yahoo! Image search, are based on textual annotation of images. In these tools, images are manually annotated with keywords and then retrieved using text-based search methods. The performances of these systems are not satisfactory. The goal of CBIR is to extract visual content of an image automatically, like color, texture, or shape. This paper aims to introduce the problems and challenges concerned with the design and the creation of CBIR systems, which is based on a free hand sketch (Sketch based image retrieval - SBIR). With the help of the existing methods, describe a possible solution how to design and implement a task specific descriptor, which can handle the informational gap between a sketch and a colored image, making an opportunity for the efficient search hereby. The used descriptor is constructed after such special sequence of preprocessing steps that the transformed full color image and the sketch can be compared. We have studied EHD, HOG and SIFT. The SBIR technology can be used in several applications such as digital libraries, crime prevention, photo sharing sites. Such a system has great value in apprehending suspects and indentifying victims in forensics and law enforcement. A possible application is matching a forensic sketch to a gallery of mug shot images. The area of retrieve images based on the visual content of the query picture intensified recently, which demands on the quite wide methodology spectrum on the area of the image processing.

This paper presents development of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) model of an outdoor environment using TelosB sensor nodes. Extensive real-time measurement of the RSSI was done at the library field of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka for several months. The average of the measurement was taken and used for the development of the RSSI model. Least Mean Square Error (LMSE) method of linear regression analysis was used to develop the model. The developed model was tested and the goodness of fit (R2) of the model was determined to be 0.83. This confirmed that the model can be used to determine the RSSI at any given distance of an environment with similar radio characteristics.

Coal bed methane (CBM) in the coal seam is the hydrocarbon gas that mainly component methane and adsorbed on coal surface. Some Coal bed methane (CBM) free in the coal pore or dissolved in water. Coal bed methane (CBM) was emerging in nearly one hundred and twenty years of high quality clean energy. This paper is mainly introduce the characteristic of coal seam and it's differences between home and abroad ,and the current development of Coal bed methane (CBM) as well as it's exploration technology, and the method of enhancing Coal bed methane(CBM) production. This paper also compared the differences between rapid developing countries and China from the point of view of economic benefit and prospect on the development of Coal bed methane (CBM) industry in our country in the future.

Analysis of Dense Osteoblast Surface Tension in a Micro Chip
  • Abstract

  • Full Article
Surface tension of a osteoblast cell in a micro chip is analysed. The effects of electrical pulse, electrode configuration ,micro channel dimension and specific property of suspension media on cell surface tension of osteoblast cell, were investigated. The effective surface tension of outer layer is exposed at micro scale pulse but for inner layer it is in peco scale pulse although pulse interval is micro scale in both cases. We find that the surface tension is non uniformly and sinusoidal distributed over the membrane In every respect position the minimum surface tension is obtained at pole θ=90 &θ=270 . But their numerical values are varied. Minimum surface tension is exposed near the high density point of high permeable area of the osteoblast cell. we also consider the effect of neighbour cells on membrane surface tension to make the result more important and realistic.
