STATCOM a shunt connected Flexible Alternative Current Systems (FACTS) device using for fast control of voltage and reactive power control in the power grid. To optimize Nouakchott power system at 2030 year, we anticipate both generation and demand grow. A set of nonlinear equations are solved through Newton Raphson method and programmed in PSS/E and…

Zirconium trisulfide ZrS3 is a representative of transition metal polysulfides containing sulfur as S–1 in polysulfide, usually disulfide S22– groups. Semiconductive zirconium trisulfide which absorbs visible light near UV edge was considered as a possible photocatalyst. We experimentally studied photodecoloration of methyl orange in presence of ZrS3. It was shown for the first time that…

Exploring the ocean underneath has always been an area of great scientific and environmental concern. However, the study of underwater environment was very difficult due to the extreme conditions. Undersea descriptions undergo severe distortion attributed to absorptive as well as scattering properties. Absorption substantially removes illumination, whereas a ray of light redirected in several path…

Language skill is a rule-like operation, based on generalized connections. The main property of language skills is awareness. They are formed with conscious mastery of the language means of communication (phonetic, lexical and grammatical). Language acquisition is a complex process which includes a large number of different parameters. Therefore, the study and improvement of language…

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become one of the most advanced techniques that is used currently in many fields. The role of education is extremely important in every society; therefore, it should always be updated to be in line with new technologies and lifestyles. Applying technology in education enhances the way of teaching and learning.…

The development of agent-based systems is negatively impacted by the lack of process standardization across the major development phases, such as the requirements analysis phase. This issue creates a key barrier for agent technology stockholders regarding comprehending and analyzing complexity associated with these systems specifications. Instead, such fundamental low-level infrastructure is loosely attended to in…

Diabetes is a condition of the body in which blood sugar level is higher than the normal average value. It is considered as a major cause of morbidity worldwide. According to the data reported in 2015,420 million people had diabetes worldwide, type 2 diabetes account for 85% of these cases. This shows 9.2% of the…

In this work, a representative combinational circuit is visualized in various ways. It is abstracted (concretized) from transistor level to gate level and a structure-preserving transition is carried out into a signal flow graph. For creating a signal flow plan it is necessary to swap the nodes and the edges in the signal flow graph.…

CdTe-based photovoltaic (PV) cells provide the lowest EBPT (energy payback time) and emit less amount of GHG (green house gases) among different types of PV cells. Thus, it is very essential to enhance the efficiency of CdTe-based solar cells. A high efficiency CdTe/CdS p-i-n heterostructure solar cell is designed and the performance of the cell…

The key objective of this study is to analyse the heat transfer processes involved in the evaporation and condensation of water in a water distillation system employing a thermoelectric module. This analysis can help to increase the water production and to enhance the system performance. For the analysis, a water distillation unit prototype integrated with…

Abstract— The process of mapping large numbers of markers is computationally complex, as the increase of numbers of markers results in an exponential increase in the mapping runtime. Also, having unreliable markers in the dataset adds more complexity to the mapping process. In this research, we have addressed these two issues and proposed our solution.…

Command and control (C2) systems direct operators to make accurate decisions in the stressful atmosphere of the battlefield at the earliest. There are powerful tools that fuse various instant piece of information and brings summary of those in front of operators. Threat evaluation is one of the important fusion method that provides these assistance to…

A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be employed to investigate brain activation by measuring the absorption of near-infrared light through the intact skull. The general linear model (GLM) as a standard model for fMRI analysis has been applied to functional near-infrared spectroscopic (fNIRS) imaging analysis as well. The GLM has drawback of failure in fNIRS…

Extensive increases in electricity cost added to the numerous power outages encountered in developing countries has led to the deployment of hybrid energy supplies that mainly ensure continuity of power supply while attempting a reduction of electricity generation cost. This paper, specifically deals with the cost optimization of electricity generation from a grid connected hybrid…

The heat transfer process from a 6.4 Watt blue light flexible phototherapy mattress to a human hand has been studied. The intended use of the mattress is the provision of neonatal jaundice phototherapy during Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) or skin-to-skin care. The heat transfer process has been studied with temperature and heat flow sensors inside…

This paper presents a developed low cost system for human gait analysis. Two web cameras placed in opposite sides of a treadmill are used to acquire images of a person walking at different speeds on a treadmill, carrying a set of passive marks located at strategic places of its body. The treadmill also has passive…

The Static Var Compensator (SVC) is used to improve the stability of the power system because of its role in injecting or absorbing the reactive power in the electrical transmission lines. The Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is also a control device which ensures maximum power transfer and thus the stability of the power system enhancement.…

In many semi-arid countries in the world like Libya, drinking water supply is dependent on reservoirs water storage. Since the evaporation rate is very high in semi-arid countries, estimates and forecasts of reservoir evaporation rate can be useful in the management of major water source. Many researchers have been investigating the suitability of estimates evaporation…

With the advancement of technology intelligent devices are fast approaching the realm of necessity from the status of luxury. With limited energy resources, it is the need of time to revolutionize the traditional methods of counting visitors inside hotels, recreational places, meeting rooms and cinemas to control the electrical appliances. Moreover, the improved living standards…
