In this paper, we delve into the pressing necessity for proficient battery cell balancing, an imperative in the context of the escalating adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles. While traditional methodologies, including the passive technique, offer a straightforward and cost-effective solution, they compromise on efficiency. The active technique, though superior in efficiency, is hindered…

Harmful algal blooms (HAB) or “Red tides” are organisms which produce toxins which are harmful to humans, fish, and other marine mammals. The said toxins come from dinoflagellates of genus Pyrodinium Bahamense var Compressum that cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) and Dinophysis Caudata and Prorocentrum lima which results to Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP). In the…

We consider the following Neumann elliptic problem \( \left\{ \begin{array}{rl} -\Delta u =\alpha\,m_{1}(x)\,u+m_{2}(x)\,g(u)+h(x)\quad & in \: \Omega,\\ \quad\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu} = 0\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad& on\: \partial\Omega. \end{array} \right. \) By means of Leray-Schauder degree and under some assumptions on the asymptotic behavior of the potential of the nonlinearity g, we prove an existence result for our equation…

Small animal modeling is an exciting research field where human pathogenic frameworks can be replicated in a controlled environment. Accurate Imaging is in high demand when modeling abnormalities and, magnetic resonance imaging plays a vital role due to its demonstrated lowest intrusion when compared with other imaging methods. However, the required high-resolution yields low-quality images…

Being known as an irreversible neurodegenerative disease which has no cure to date, detection and classification of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in its early stages is significant so that the deterioration process can be slowed down. Generally, AD can be classified into three major stages, ranging from the “normal control” stage with no symptoms shown, the…

For its importance nowadays in a wide range of applications such as the anechoic chamber, we introduce a microwave ultra-broadband polarization-independent metamaterial absorber (MA) in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF)/ Super High Frequency (SHF) frequency bands. Through this work, we improved the Relative Absorptive Bandwidth (RAB) of the conventional pyramidal absorber (CPA) by modifying its…

In this paper, a regenerative energy recovery system for electric vehicles charging a battery at a low speed is proposed. When a permanent magnet synchronous motor driving the electric vehicles is driven by a generator, the generated voltage is controlled to rise or drop by using the L-C resonance circuit. As the circuit only has…

In this paper, we present a broadband frequency tunable antenna embedding varactor diodes. The reference antenna structure is a square antenna of patch dimensions [39,2 × 39,2] mm², operating at a single resonance frequency 2.45GHz. The recommended procedure to achieve the frequency shifting is to etch rectangular slots on the patch and to embed two…

This paper presents a novel six band frequency reconfigurable antenna for 2.4 GHz (Lower Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)), 5.3 GHz (Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)) and 9.1-10.2 GHz (X-band) frequency bands. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 22mm_30mm at lower resonance of 4.2 GHz and is printed on FR4 material with…

Brain tumor is the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in Brain. The development of automated methods for segmenting brain tumors remains one of the most difficult tasks in medical data processing. Accurate segmentation can improve diagnosis, such as evaluating tumor volume. However, manual segmentation in magnetic resonance data is a laborious task. The main problem…

As the contribution from renewable energy sources increase, the power quality degradation has become a challenge for the power system operator. There are major two factors causing power quality deterioration. First is the current harmonic generation by the power electronic converters used in renewable energy sources, and second is the magnification of harmonic voltage due…

Analysis of magnetic resonant wireless power transfer systems aims to achieve maximum efficiency of the power transfer. From the analysis we wish to derive the maximum power and the frequency at which this occurs. This paper presents a method to estimate these two required values and to achieve this requires the solution of the input…

Brain tumor is such an abnormality of brain tissue that causes brain hemorrhage. Therefore, apposite detections of brain tumor, its size, and position are the foremost condition for the remedy. To obtain better performance in brain tumor and its stages detection as well as its position in MRI images, this research work proposes an advanced…

In this paper, a hybrid system solar cell antenna was studied. Our contribution lies in the combination of both optical and radio-frequency signals in a solar cell antenna. Hence, we propose a new method to merge antenna and solar cell. The leaf- shaped patch solar cell antenna was dedicated at a time to the energy…
