This paper presents a novel direct torque control (DTC) strategy aimed to four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverter-fed an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM), using a fuzzy logic toolbox in speed control loop. In fact, the introduced DTC approach is based on the emulation of the operation of the standard six-switch three-phase (SSTP) inverter. This fact…

Today, computing devices of various types with wireless interconnections are used for diverse tasks and increasingly in ad hoc manners. It is not always obvious which devices are present, reachable, and connected when users and their devices are mobile. In such mobile computing environment, the number of registered lines on the network via network operators…

Currently the use of distributed energy resources, especially renewable generation, and demand response programs are widely discussed in scientific contexts, since they are a reality in nowadays electricity markets and distribution networks. In order to benefit from these concepts, an efficient energy management system is needed to prevent energy wasting and increase profits. In this…

This application developing for the project OCEMA comes as result of architecture building in Android, then the development of a professional modeling in Talend Open Studio for Big Data, which enabled the integration of data from many data sources. One of its uses is the quick identification of people found in areas affected by natural…

In this paper we focus on the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) techniques, makes use of the channel state information (CSI) to improve the spectral efficiency (SE) in wireless communication systems. To achieve higher data rates and lower bit error rate (BER’s) channel coding can be carried out in OFDM, called COFDM. The NLMS channel…

Smoking has been proven to negatively affect health in a multitude of ways. As of 2009, smoking has been considered the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States, continuing to plague the country’s overall health. This study aims to investigate the viability and effectiveness of some machine learning algorithms for predicting…

Tenants associated with a cloud-hosted application seek to reduce running costs and minimize resource consumption by sharing components and resources. However, despite the benefits, sharing resources can affect tenant’s access and overall performance if one tenant abruptly experiences a significant workload, particularly if the application fails to accommodate this sudden increase in workload. In cases…

Patient generated data, or personal clinical data, is considered an important aspect in improving patient outcomes. However, personal clinical data is difficult to collect and manage due to its distributed nature. For example, they can be located in multiple places such as doctors’ offices, radiology centers, hospitals, or some clinics. Another factor that can make…

Safety-critical systems are well documented and standardized (e.g. IEC 61508, RTCA DO-178B) within system design cycles. However in Defence and Security, systems that are critical to the success of a Mission are not defined within the literature nor are there any guidelines in defining criticality in their design or operational capabilities. When it comes to…

Nowadays, text annotation plays an important role within real-time social media mining. Social media analysis provides actionable information to its users in times of natural disasters. This paper presents an approach to a real-time two layer text annotation system for social media stream to the domain of natural disasters. The proposed system annotates raw tweets…

The necessity of navigation in people and mobile robots (MR) through specific environments (indoors or outdoors) has become more and more relevant nowadays. For indoors, generally speaking, the positioning systems can be divided into 2D (two dimensions) or 3D (three dimensions) approaches, where Ultrasonic Local Positioning Systems (ULPS) are often a common solution for MRs…

On-ramping is being widely used as e method to increase the freeway operational efficiency. The main traffic parameter that must be taken in consideration for the implementation of the feedback control strategies for the on-ramp metering is density on the main section of road. In this paper is given discretized model of traffic which is…

Probabilities topic models are active research area in text mining, machine learning, information retrieval, etc. Most of the current statistical topic modeling methods, such as Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). They are used to build models from unstructured text and produce a term-based representation to describe a topic by choosing…
