Transient stability is an important aspect in the operation of electrical power system. In case of fault occurs in the system, the determining of fault clearing time of circuit breaker is considered one of the main factors to ensure power transfer of the system. This paper is aim to study the transient stability of single machine infinite bus system (SMIB), based on the rotor angle stability. The study is performed to determine the influence of the critical clearing time of the circuit breakers on the rotor angle stability of the generator in the case of three phase fault. For obtaining and determining numerically the nature of the rotor angle of machine, we applied the Step-by-step method for different values of fault clearing time. The results of simulation indicate that determine of critical clearing time is a major evaluation in stability studies. The system model is created in MATLAB/ SIMULINK software.

The Twin Rotor MIMO System is a higher order non-linear plant and is inherently unstable due to cross coupling between tail and main rotor. In this paper only the control of main rotor is considered which is non-linear and stable by using adaptive schemes. The control problem is to achieve perfect tracking for input reference signals while maintaining robustness and stability. Four adaptive schemes were implemented, two using Model Reference Adaptive Control under which MIT rule and Modified MIT rule are used. The other two using Adaptive Interaction, namely, Adaptive PID and Approximate Adaptive PID. It is observed that adaptive schemes fulfill all the three system performance requirements at the same time. Modified MIT rule was found to give superior performance in comparison to other controllers. Also Approximate Adaptive PID was able to stabilize the main rotor and cancel the effect of cross coupling between tail rotor and main rotor when operating simultaneously without the need for designing decouplers for the system. Thus the main rotor can be made independent from the state of the tail rotor by using Approximate Adaptive PID.

The assessment model of coronary heart disease is so much developed in line with the development of information technology, particularly the field of artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, the assessment models developed mostly do not use such an approach made by the clinician, the tiered approach. This study aims to analyze the performance of a tiered model assessment. The method used for each level is, preprocessing, building architecture artificial neural network (ANN), conduct training using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and one step secant, as well as testing the system. The study is divided into the terms of the stages in the examination procedure. The test results showed the influence of each level, both when the output level of the previous positive or negative, were tested back at the next level. The performance evaluation may indicate that the top level provides performance improvement and or reinforce the previous level.

Despite the popularity of the Massive Open Online Courses, small-scale research has been done to understand the factors that influence the teaching-learning process through the massive online platform. Using topic modeling approach, our results show terms with prior knowledge to understand e.g.: Chuck as the instructor name. So, we proposed the topic modeling approach on helpful subjective reviews. The results show five influential factors: “learn easy excellent class program”, “python learn class easy lot”, “Program learn easy python time game”, and “learn class python time game”. Also, research results showed that the proposed method improved the perplexity score on the LDA model.

Nowadays, mobile communication is growing rapidly and become an everyday commodity. The vast deployment of real-time services in Long Term Evolution (LTE) network demands for the scheduling techniques that support the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. LTE is designed and implemented to fulfill the users’ QoS. However, 3GPP does not define the specific scheduling technique for resource distribution which leads to vast research and development of the scheduling techniques. In this context, a review of the recent scheduling algorithm is reported in the literature. These schedulers in the literature cause high Packet Loss Rate (PLR), low fairness, and high delay. To cope with these disadvantages, we propose an enhanced EXPRULE (eEXPRULE) scheduler to improve the radio resource utilization in the LTE network. Extensive simulation works are carried out and the proposed scheduler provides a significant performance improvement for video application without sacrificing the VoIP performance. The eEXPRULE scheduler increases video throughput, spectrum efficiency, and fairness by 50%, 13%, and 11%, respectively, and reduces the video PLR by 11%.

In this paper, a low-complexity model is proposed for linearizing power amplifiers with memory effects using the digital predistortion (DPD) technique. In the proposed model, the linear, low-order nonlinear and high-order nonlinear memory effects are computed separately to provide flexibility in controlling the model parameters so that both high performance and low model complexity can be achieved. The performance of the proposed model is assessed based on experimental measurements of a commercial class AB power amplifier by applying a single-carrier wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) signal. The linearity performance and the model complexity of the proposed model are compared with the memory polynomial (MP) model and the DPD with single-feedback model. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms the latter model by 5 dB in terms of adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) with comparable complexity. Compared to MP model, the proposed model shows improved ACLR performance by 10.8 dB with a reduction in the complexity by 17% in terms of number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) and 18% in terms of number of model coefficients.

In particle swarm optimization, a set of particles move towards the global optimum point according to their experience and experience of other particles. Parameters such as particle rate, particle best experience, the best experience of all the particles and particle current position are used to determine the next position of each particle. Certain relationships received the input parameters and determined the next position of each particle. In this article, the relationships are accurately assessed and the amount of the effect of input parameters is horizontally set. To set coefficients adaptively, the notion is taken from bee behavior in collecting nectar. This method was implemented on software and examined in the standard search environments. The obtained results indicate the efficiency of this method in increasing the rate of convergence of particles towards the global optimum.

To meet the growing computation-intensive applications and the needs of low-power, high-performance systems, the number of computing resources in single-chip has enormously increased. By adding many computing resources to build a system in System-on-Chip, its interconnection between each other becomes another challenging issue. In most System-on-Chip applications, a shared bus interconnection which needs an arbitration logic to serialize several bus access requests, is adopted to communicate with each integrated processing unit because of its low-cost and simple control characteristics. This paper focuses on the interconnection design issues of area, power and performance of chip multi-processors with shared cache memory. It shows that having shared cache memory contributes to the performance improvement, however, typical interconnection between cores and the shared cache using crossbar occupies most of the chip area, consumes a lot of power and does not scale efficiently with increased number of cores. New interconnection mechanisms are needed to address these issues. This paper proposes an architectural paradigm in an attempt to gain the advantages of having shared cache with the avoidance of penalty imposed by the crossbar interconnect. The proposed architecture achieves smaller area occupation allowing more space to add additional cache memory. It also reduces power consumption compared to the existing crossbar architecture. Furthermore, the paper presents a modified cache coherence algorithm called Tuned-MESI. It is based on the typical MESI cache coherence algorithm however it is tuned and tailored for the suggested architecture. The achieved results of the conducted simulated experiments show that the developed architecture produces less broadcast operations compared to the typical algorithm.

This paper investigate the transceiver design for single-user multiple-input multipleoutput system (SU-MIMO). Joint transceiver design with an improper modulation is developed based on the minimum total mean-squared error (TMSE) criterion under two different cases. One is equal power allocation (EPA) and other is the power constraint that jointly meets both EPA and total transmit power constraint (TTPC) (i.e ITPC). Transceiver is designed based on the assumption that both the perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and receiver. The simulation results show the performance improvement of the proposed work over conventional work in terms of bit error rate (BER).

The present article is designed to supply two different numericalsolutions for solving Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. We have madean attempt to develop a numerical solution via the use ofSinc-Galerkin method for Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, Sincapproximations to both derivatives and indefinite integrals reducethe solution to an explicit system of algebraic equations. The fixedpoint theory is used to prove the convergence of the proposedmethods. For comparison purposes, a combination of a Crank-Nicolsonformula in the time direction, with the Sinc-collocation in thespace direction is presented, where the derivatives in the spacevariable are replaced by the necessary matrices to produce a systemof algebraic equations. In addition, we present numerical examplesand comparisons to support the validity of these proposedmethods.
