Modeling of direct expansion (DX) air conditioning and heat pump systems can be necessary in developing energy saving methods required to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The artificial neural networks (ANN) can be simple and reliable as compared to traditional methods. A properly trained artificial neural network can provide accurate results, while being relatively straightforward…

This paper presents the synthesis of a dynamic space vector modulation for power matrix converters so that it is possible to implement a universal modulator that provides a control algorithm dynamically optimized according to the requirements for the matrix converter.

In general, the imbalanced dataset is a problem often found in health applications. In medical data classification, we often face the imbalanced number of data samples where at least one of the classes constitutes only a very small minority of the data. In the same time, it represent a difficult problem in most of machine…

In this paper, we investigate the performance of channel inversion schemes for interference cancellation with compensation network in multi-user MIMO broadcasting channel. To achieve good performance, mutual coupling between two-element compact arrays is characterized by the receiving mutual impedance method (RMIM) to formulate the compensation network-operating matrix. A prototype of two-element compensation network with an…

A new architecture of multi-standard transmitter that combines single and double frequency conversion is presented. The transmitter is able to generate waveforms of different cellular standards (GSM, UMTS, Wimax), LAN standards (Bluetooth, Zigbee, IEEE802.11 b/g) and Radio navigation standards (GPS, Galileo) as well. Depending on the selected standard and frequency, the transmitter routes the intermediate…

The article deals with the problem of increasing the accuracy of determination of aircraft’s navigation flight parameters. Increasing the accuracy and sensitivity of navigation parameters determination will improve the efficiency of air conveyance by optimizing the flight trajectories and reducing the flight time and simultaneously will ensure the sufficient level of air conveyance safety. The…

In this paper, Novel (Gʹ/G)-expansion method is used to find new generalized exact travelling wave solutions of fractional order coupled Burger’s equations in terms of trigonometric functions, rational functions and hyperbolic functions with arbitrary parameters. For the conversion of the partial differential equation to the ordinary differential equation, complex transformation method is used. Novel (Gʹ/G)-expansion…

This paper presents a Release Management model to support requirements management. Requirements development and management can be integrated with a release-planning approach to achieve lesser Requirements spillover problems which is an innovative way to capture, control and evolve the user requirements based on integer linear programming.

In the aim to manage and retrieve the organizational knowledge, in the last years numerous proposals of models and tools for knowledge management and knowledge representation have arisen. However, most of them store knowledge in a non-structured or semi-structured way, hindering the semantic and automatic processing of this knowledge. In this paper we present a…

In this paper, we evaluate a list of classifiers in order to use them in the detection of vandalism by focusing on metadata features. Our work is focused on two low resource data sets (Simple English and Albanian) from Wikipedia. The aim of this research is to prove that this form of vandalism detection applied…

In urban, rural and indoor applications, diffraction mechanism is very important to predict the field strength and calculate the coverage accurately. The diffraction mechanism takes place on NLOS (non-line-of-sight) cases like rooftop, vertex, corner, edge and sharp surfaces. S-UTD-CH model computes three type of electromagnetic wave incidence such as direct, reflected and diffracted waves, respectively.…

Frequency diverse array (FDA) employs a small frequency increment across its array elements to provide range, angle and time dependent beampattern. In most radar systems, FDA with linear frequency offsets have been employed. But, its transmit beampattern is coupled in range and angle dimensions, which may degrade the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio performance. Note that nonlinear…

The aim of this paper is to continue our study of information in the setting of Pseudo-Analysis. We shall present, by axiomatic way, the definition of measures of general conditional information and we shall study particular measure by using a system of functional equations in which it is present a pseudo-operation. We know that J.Aczel…

The World Health Organization (WHO) report on the circumstances of clinical facilities in developing countries indicates that, there is considerable efficient delivery of medical services to the rural inhabitants where the services are available, these services are very expensive and not affordable to the average citizen. This has risen inadequacies such as prolonged suffering and…

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…

The automation surveying is one of the most influential changes to surveying concept and profession has had to go through, this has taken effect in two major courses, hardware (instrumentation used in data collection and presentation), and the software (the applications used in data processing and manipulation). Automation is majorly computer based and just like…

Zika virus (ZIKAV) is a flavi-virus, first isolated in 1947 in the Zika Forest of Uganda. ZIKAV is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. ZIKAV is made up of two noncoding regions (5′ and 3′ ) that verge an open reading frame, which put into code a polyprotein smote into the capsid, precursor of membrane, envelope,…

A process for the determination of a required spatial resolution in the collection of the Received Signal Level (RSL) is discussed. This method considers RSL measurements as a three dimensional surface that is sampled through the data collection process. In addition, it is difficult to collect RSL measurements for an entire coverage area because of…

The IEEE 802.16e standard, known as mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) becomes the most demanding broadband wireless access (BWA) technology recently. Its main advantage is rapid delivery of services in remote areas due to the cost efficiency factor. The base station (BS) supports data rate up to 70 Mbps, mobile stations with 5–15…

Hasty software development can produce immediate implementations with source code unnecessarily complex and hardly readable. These small kinds of software decay generate a technical debt that could be big enough to seriously affect future maintenance activities. This work presents an analysis technique for identifying architectural technical debt related to non-uniformity of naming patterns; the technique…
