Islamic finance development has grown into a focal point in many countries accros the globe. Sukuk, in particular, an Islamic investment product that has received growing attention from sovereigns, multinational and national organizations from both developed and emerging economies. Its uses has been aimed to finance investments in a varieties of economic activities and development projects. Despite the promising look of Sukuk, currently there is lack of studies had been to examine and predict the rating of the Sukuk. As a result, many practitioners adopted the conventional bond hence ignore the fact that these two instruments are different in nature. In order to fill the gap in the literature, it is the aim of this research to develop an ensemble model that can be used to predict Sukuk rating. The effectiveness of the proposed models were evaluated using dataset on Sukuk issuance for domestic from 2006 to 2016. The results indicate that the overall performance of the ensemble model is fall short behind the i duction decision tree (IDT) model. However, the class precision of the ensemble model improved, particularly in predicting the lowest rating of Sukuk.

The objectives of this work are focused on the application of strained silicon on MOSFET transistor. To do this, impact and benefits obtained with the use of strained silicon technology on p-channel MOSFETs are presented. This research attempt to create conventional and two-strained silicon MOSFETs fabricated from the use of TCAD, which is a simulation tool from Silvaco. In our research, two-dimensional simulation of conventional MOSFET, biaxial strained PMOSFET and dual channel strained P-MOSFET has been achieved to extract their characteristics. ATHENA and ATLAS have been used to simulate the process and validate the electronic characteristics. Our results allow showing improvements obtained by comparing the three structures and their characteristics. The maximum of carrier mobility improvement is achieved with percentage of 35.29 % and 70.59 % respectively, by result an improvement in drive current with percentage of 36.54 % and 236.71 %, and reduction of leakage current with percentage of 59.45 % and 82.75 %, the threshold voltage is also enhaced with percentage of: 60 % and 61.4%. Our simulation results highlight the importance of incorporating strain technology in MOSFET transistors.

Simulated Annealing algorithm (SA) is a well-known probabilistic heuristic. It mimics the annealing process in metallurgy to approximate the global minimum of an optimization problem. The SA has many parameters which need to be tuned manually when applied to a specific problem. The tuning may be difficult and time-consuming. This paper aims to overcome this difficulty by using a self-tuning approach based on a machine learning algorithm called Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The main idea is allowing the SA to adapt his own cooling law at each iteration, according to the search history. An experiment was performed on many benchmark functions to show the efficiency of this approach compared to the classical one.

Since last decades, the pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques have been an intensive research subject. Also, different kinds of methodologies have been presented on inverter switching losses, inverter output current/ voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter maximum output of DC bus voltage. The Sinusoidal PWM is generally used to control the inverter output voltage and it helps to maintains drive performance. The recent years have seen digital modulation mechanisms based on theory of space vector i.e. Space vector PWM (SVPWM). The SVPWM mechanism offers the enhanced amplitude modulation indexes (MI) than sinusoidal PWM along with the reduction in the harmonics of inverter output voltage and reduced communication losses. Currently, the digital control mechanisms have got more attention than the analog counterparts, as the performance and reliability of microprocessors has increased. Most of the SVPWM mechanisms are performed by using the analog or digital circuits like microcontrollers and DSPs. From the recent study, analysis gives that use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can offer more efficient and faster solutions. This paper discusses the numerous existing research aspects of FPGA realization for voltage source inverter (VSI) along with the future line of research.

Hematology tests are examinations that aim to know the state of blood and its components, one of which is leukocytes. Hematologic examinations such as the number and morphology of blood generally still done manually, especially by a specialist pathologist. Despite the fact that today there is equipment that can identify morphological automatically, but for developing countries like Indonesia, it can only be done in the capital city. Low accuracy due to the differences identified either by doctors or laboratory staff, makes a great reason to use computer assistance, especially with the rapid technological developments at this time. In this paper, we will emphasize our experiment to screen leucocyte cell nucleus by identifying the contours of the cell nucleus, diameter, circumference and area of these cells based on digital image processing techniques, especially using the morphological image. The results obtained are promising for further development in the development of computer-aided diagnosis for identification of leukocytes based on a simple and inexpensive equipment.

Most control engineering problems are characterized by several objectives, which have to be satisfied simultaneously. Two widely used methods for finding the optimal solution to such problems are aggregating to a single criterion, and using Pareto-optimal solutions. This paper proposed a Pareto-based Surrogate Modeling Algorithm (PSMA) approach using a combination of Surrogate Modeling (SM) optimization and Pareto-optimal solution to find a fixed-gain, discrete-time Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller for a Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) Forced Circulation Evaporator (FCE) process plant. Experimental results show that a multi-objective, PSMA search was able to give a good approximation to the optimum controller parameters in this case. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) method was also used to optimize the controller parameters and as comparison with PSMA.

Navigation in the physical environment is a challenge for those people who have very limited sense of sight or no vision at all. Assistive technologies for blind mobilization is not new and always have a room for improvement. Moreover, these assistive devices are limited in terms of its sensing and feedback abilities. This paper presents a microcontroller-based guiding stick capable of detecting several conditions of the environment such as obstacles in front, left and right positions of the user and detects ascending and descending staircases. The feedback is delivered by an audio output which dictates the direction to go or what condition the sensor detects in front of the user. Technical evaluation proves that the device was functional in terms of its accuracy, responsiveness and correctness. On the other hand, in the actual evaluation of the device with the visually impaired individuals, the device did not perform efficiently. It was also found that the device has the potential to be used effectively by the visually impaired who acquired their blindness in later stage of their life provided that they will have a proper training in using the device while navigating in the physical environment.

This paper presents data an Ant colony optimization (ACO) based data hiding technique. ACO is used to detect complex region of cover image and afterward, least significant bits (LSB) substitution is used to hide secret information in the detected complex regions’ pixels. ACO is an algorithm developed inspired by the inborn manners of ant species. The ant leaves pheromone on the ground for searching food and provisions. The proposed ACO-based data hiding in complex region establishes an array of pheromone, also called pheromone matrix, which represents the complex region in sequence at each pixel position of the cover image. The pheromone matrix is developed according to the movements of ants, determined by local differences of the image element’s intensity. The least significant bits of complex region pixels are substituted with message bits, to hide secret information. The experimental results, provided, show the significance of the performance of the proposed method.

The explosive demand of broadband services nowadays requires data communication systems to have intensive capacity which subsequently increases the need for higher data rate as well. Although implementation of multiple wavelengths channels can be used (e.g. 4 × 25.8 Gb/s for 100 Gb/s connection) for such desired system, it usually leads to cost increment issue which is caused by employment of multiple optical components. Therefore, implementation of advanced modulation format using a single wavelength channel has become a preference to increase spectral efficiency by increasing the data rate for a given transmission system bandwidth. Conventional advanced modulation format however, involves a degree of complexity and costly transmission system. Hence, carrierless amplitude phase (CAP) modulation format has emerged as a promising advanced modulation format candidate due to spectral efficiency improvement ability with reduction of optical transceiver complexity and cost. The intriguing properties of CAP modulation format are reviewed as an attractive prospect in optical transmission system applications.
