The problematic of plastic pollution in the world has led to an interest in the research and development of thermoset starch-protein blend bioplastics as a possible alternative for single use non-recyclable plastics. However, these bioplastics lack the physico-chemical characteristics that make them useful as a replacement for the currently used plastics. This work aims to…

A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented to visualize the multipaths generated by COST 2100 channel model (C2CM) and the results of clustering the wireless propagation multipaths using Modified Simultaneous Clustering and Model Selection (MSCAMSMA). The usual practice of authors is to show their data and results using figures, tables, and graphs which are already…

Fault-tolerant applications are created by replicating the software or hardware component in a distributed system. Communications are normally carried out over an Ethernet network to interact with the distributed/replicated system, ensuring atomic multicast properties. However, there are situations in which it is not possible to guarantee that the replicas process the same data set in…

This paper is carrying out a practical identification of a DC servomotor from input and output data. The system’s step response was obtained from an acquisition card that we have developed using a microcontroller. The data is collected and downloaded to the PC Thought RS232 Protocol to process the identification process using polynomial models (ARX,…

In this study, an adaptive nonlinear sensorless controller for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) driven by a wind turbine is proposed. The aim is to maximize the extracted power by tracking the wind turbine optimal torque-speed characteristic without the need for rotor speed measurement. This controller ensures a satisfactory tracking of both stator flux and…

In a radial distribution system, component failure leads to service interruption and subsequent disconnection of a few load points. An abnormal variation in the voltage levels and high power loss gives rise to reliability issues. In this work, feeder reconfiguration is performed to improve reliability, minimize voltage deviation and power loss. A Binary Particle Swarm…

One of the open domain challenges for Spoken Dialogue System (SDS) is to maintain a natural conversation for rarely visited domain i.e. domain with fewer data. Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) is a component of SDS that converts user utterance into a semantic form that a computer can understand. If we scale SDS open domain challenge…

This paper presents an integrated solution for a fault-tolerant three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) field-oriented control drive subjected to an open-phase fault (OPF) integrated with effective fault-tolerant detection methodology. The fault detection methodology is based on model predictive current control (MPCC), which is easy to apply, detect OPF in a range of microseconds, and…

This paper describes methods of eliminating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) non-destructively, using Electronic Warfare Methods. The aim is to introduce certain methods of UAV detection and elimination in a complex environment and terrain, e.g., in an urban and battlefield environment, that will result in finding the control device position and the UAV itself. Neural networks,…
