Many coherent cooperative diversity techniques for wireless relay networks have recently been suggested to improve the overall system performance in terms of the achievable data rate or bit error rate (BER) with low decoding complexity and delay. However, these techniques require channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side, at the receiver side, or at both sides. Therefore, due to the overhead associated with estimating CSI, distributed differential space-time coding techniques have been suggested to overcome this overhead by detecting the information symbols without requiring any (CSI) at any transmitting or receiving antenna. However, the latter techniques suffer from low performance in terms of BER as well as high latency and decoding complexity. In this paper, a distributed differential beamforming technique with power allocation is proposed to overcome all drawbacks associated with the later techniques without needing CSI at any antenna and to be used for cooperative communication networks. We prove through our analytical and simulation results that the proposed technique outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques in terms of BER with comparably low decoding complexity and latency.

Wind Energy has received great attention in this century. It influences the new power systems, adding new challenges to the power system expansion problem. Nowadays, double feed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines are used majorly in wind farms, due to their advantages over other types. Therefore, the analysis of the system using this type has become very important. In this paper, a wind turbine modelling was introduced with suggested controllers, in order to enhance the system response, with respect to both pitch control and maximum output power. Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA), a meta-heuristic optimization technique, was implemented to determine the gains of a proportional-integral (PI) controller and fractional order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller to optimize the system, which considered three control loops: pitch, rotor-side converter, and grid-side converter control loop. Simulation results were determined using MATLAB/Simulink. The comparative analysis of the results showed that the PI Controller gave the simplest and the best response in case of the pitch and rotor-side control loops while the FOPID was the best when applied to the grid-side control loop. Based on the results and discussion, a suggestion of using a compination of each controller was introduced.

In addition to its monotonous nature and excessive time requirements, the manual school timetable scheduling often leads to more than one class being assigned to the same instructor, or more than one instructor being assigned to the same classroom during the same slot time, or even leads to exercise in intentional partialities in favor of a particular group of instructors. In this paper, an automated school timetable scheduling is presented to help overcome the traditional conflicts inherent in the manual scheduling approach. In this approach, hill climbing algorithms have been modified to transact hard and soft constraints. Soft constraints are not easy to be satisfied typically, but hard constraints are obligated. The implementation of this technique has been successfully experimented in different schools with various kinds of side constraints. Results show that the initial solution can be improved by 72% towards the optimal solution within the first 5 seconds and by 50% from the second iteration while the optimal solution will be achieved after 15 iterations ensuring that more than 50% of scientific courses will take place in the early slots time while more than 50% of non-scientific courses will take place during the later time's slots.

In the following article, it is presented a human-robot interaction system where algorithms were developed to control the movement of a manipulator in order to allow it to search and deliver, in the hand of the user, a desired tool with a certain orientation. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was used to detect and recognize the user's hand, geometric analysis for the adjustment of the delivery status of the tool from any position of the robot and any orientation of the gripper, and a trajectory planning algorithm for the movement of the manipulator. It was possible to use the activations of a CNN developed in previous works for the detection of the position and orientation of the hand in the workspace and thus track it in real time, both in a simulated environment and in a real environment.

In this paper, the author proposes a sliding mode controller with the fractional-order for the two-link robot arm. Firstly, the model and dynamic equations of the two-link robot arm are presented. Based on these equations, the author builds the controller for each joint of the robot. The controller is a sliding mode controller with its order is not an integer value. The task of the controller is to adjust the torques acted on the joints in order for the angular coordinates of each link to coincide with the desired values. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is demonstrated through Matlab-Simulink software. The robot model and controller are built to investigate the system quality. The results show that the quality of the control system is very high: there is not the chattering phenomenon of torques, the response angles of each link quickly reach the desired values, and the static error equal to zero.

Myoelectric prostheses are a viable solution for people with amputations. The challenge in implementing a usable myoelectric prosthesis lies in accurately recognizing different hand gestures. The current myoelectric devices usually implement very few hand gestures. In order to approximate a real hand functionality, a myoelectric prosthesis should implement a large number of hand and finger gestures. However, increasing number of gestures can lead to a decrease in recognition accuracy. In this work a Myo arm band device is used to recognize fourteen gestures (five build in gestures of Myo armband in addition to nine new gestures). The data in this research is collected from three body-able subjects for a period of 7 seconds per gesture. The proposed method uses a pattern recognition technique based on Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN). The results show an average accuracy of 90.5% in recognizing the proposed fourteen gestures.

In the field of electrical network, it is necessary, under different conditions, to learn about the behavior of the system. Power Flow Analysis is the tool per excellent that allow as to make a deep study and define all quantities of each bus of the system. To determine power flow analysis there is a lot of methods, we have either numerical or intelligent techniques. Lately, researchers always work on finding intelligent methods that allow them to solve their complex problems. The goal of this article is to compare two intelligent methods that are capable of predicting quantities; Artificial Neural Network and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System using real electrical networks. To do that we used few significant discrepancies. These methods are characterized by giving results in real time. To make this comparison successful, we implemented these two methods, to predict the voltage magnitudes and the voltage phase angles, on two Moroccan electrical networks. The results of the comparison show that the method of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System have more advantages than the method of Artificial Neural Network.

Despite the rapid growth in the market demanding for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), they are far from being secured or efficient. WSNs are vulnerable to malicious attacks and utilize too much power. At the same time, there is a significant increment of the security threats due to the growth of the several applications that employ wireless sensor networks. Therefore, introducing physical layer security is considered to be a promising solution to mitigate the threats. This paper evaluates popular coding techniques like Reed solomon (RS) techniques and scrambled error correcting codes specifically in terms of security gap. The difference between the signal to nose ratio (SNR) of the eavesdropper and the legitimate receiver nodes is defined as the security gap. We investigate the security gap, energy efficiency, and bit error rate between RS and scrambled t-error correcting codes for wireless sensor networks. Lastly, energy efficiency in RS and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) is also studied. The results of the simulation emphasize that RS technique achieves similar security gap as scrambled error correcting codes. However, the analysis concludes that the computational complexities of the RS is less compared to the scrambled error correcting codes. We also found that BCH code is more energy-efficient than RS.
