The properties of insulation have been improved by many research and the ability of nanocomposite material that composes the characteristic of improving electrical performance due to the addition of nanofiller into the based material gets serious attention. Polarization and Depolarization Current (PDC) measurement that has the ability to assess the condition of HV insulations with the initial periods after a DC step voltage application was favoured compared to other non-destructive monitoring techniques. This paper presents the works on moisture absorption in LLDPE-NR nanocomposite with different amount and percentage of nanofillers. The study of PDC level of the LLDPE-NR compound, filled with different amount of SiO2, TiO2 and MMT nanofiller using Polarization and Depolarization Current (PDC) measurement technique is the main objective of this research. These results show that sample A1 has the lowest polarization current value and sample B5 has the lowest depolarization current value.

Data privacy in the mobile ad-hoc network is a problem due to wireless medium, frequent node movement and lack of any centralized infrastructure support. In such case, it is very important to build a reliable and secure network and achieve high throughput in MANET. The reliability and security of a network depend on whether the network remains linked to different failures and malicious activities, which is the fundamental issue that needs to be focused when designing a secure routing protocol in MANET. This paper proposes an effective privacy mechanism to handle data security through a novel secure session key exchange model, which provides the node data privacy and network stability for a longer period of time and prevents abnormal behavior changes due to malicious behavior and different type of attacks in the network. The simulation results show improvement in throughput with nominal overhead and end-to-end delay in different malicious conditions against existing protocols.

With increasing tendency of users to distributed computer systems in comparison with concentrat-ed systems, intrusion into such systems has emerged as a serious challenge. Since techniques of intrusion into systems are being intelligent, it seems necessary to use intelligent methods to en-counter them. Success of the intrusion systems depends on the strategy employed in these sys-tems for attack detection. Application of eXtended Classifier Systems (XCS) is proposed in this paper for detection of intrusions to databases. The extended classifier systems which are known as one of the most successful types of learning agents create a set of stochastic rules and com-plete them based on the methods inspired from human learning process. Thereby, they can grad-ually get a comprehensive understanding of the environment under study which enables them to predict the correct answer at an acceptable accuracy once encountered with new issues. The method suggested in this paper an improved version of extended classifier systems is “trained” using a set of existing examples in order to identify and avoid attempts to intrude computer sys-tems during phases of application and encountering these attempts. The proposed method has been tested on several problems to demonstrate its performance while its results indicate a 91% detection of various known intrusions to the databases.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i5.4034

Process scheduling means allocating a certain amount of CPU time to each of the user processes. One of the popular scheduling algorithms is the “Round Robin” algorithm, which allows each and every process to utilize the CPU for short time duration. Processes which finish executing during the time slice are removed from the ready queue. Processes which do not complete execution during the specified time slice are removed from the front of the queue, and placed at the rear end of the queue. This paper presents an improvisation to the traditional round robin scheduling algorithm, by proposing a new method. The new method represents the time slice as a function of the burst time of the waiting process in the ready queue. Fixing the time slice for a process is a crucial factor, because it subsequently influences many performance parameters like turnaround time, waiting time, response time and the frequency of context switches. Though the time slot is fixed for each process, this paper explores the fine-tuning of the time slice for processes which do not complete in the stipulated time allotted to them.

Image transmission over Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication system is prone to distortion and noise due to the encountered High-Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio (PAPR) generated from the OFDM block. This paper studies the utilization of Residue Number System (RNS) as a coding scheme for digital image transmission over Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) – OFDM transceiver communication system. The use of the independent parallel feature of RNS, as well as the reduced signal amplitude to convert the input signal to parallel smaller residue signals, enable to reduce the signal PAPR, decreasing the signal distortion and the Bit Error Rate (BER). Consequently, improving the received Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and enhancing the received image quality. The performance analyzed though BER, and PAPR. Moreover, image quality measurement is achieved through evaluating the Mean Squared Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and the correlation values between the initial and retrieved images. Simulation results had shown the performance of transmission/reception model with and without RNS coding implementation.

In this paper a design of a new antenna with modified ground plane is validated for multiband applications. The proposed modified ground structure is incorporated with a patch antenna to boost the performance. The antenna’s entire area is 59.5x47mm2 and is printed on an FR-4 substrate and fed by a 50 Ohm microstrip line. This structure is validated in the GPS (1.56-1.58 GHz) band at 1.57 GHz, in the ISM (2.43-2.49 GHz) band at 2.45GHz and in the WiMAX (3.50-3.56 GHz) band at 3.53 GHz. These three frequency bands have good matching input impedance for, S11≤-10 dB. The antenna presents a good performance in terms of radiation pattern, and it is designed, optimized, and miniaturized by using CST-MW whose results are compared with other solvers HFSS and ADS. The results obtained by the use of the three EM solvers are in good agreement. After realization, we have tested and validated this antenna. The measurement results of the antenna present a good agreement with the numerical results.

Advances in smartphone technology have led to the strong emergence of mobile learning (m-learning) on the market to support foreign language learning purposes, especially for the Japanese language. No matter what kind of m-learning application, their goal should help learners to learn the Japanese language independently. However, popular Japanese m-learning applications only accommodate on enhancing reading, vocabulary and writing ability so that user experience issues are still prevalent and may affect the learning outcome. In the context of user experience, usability is one of the essential factors in mobile application development to determine the level of the application’s user experience. In this paper, we advocate for a user experience improvement by using the mental model and A/B testing. The mental model is used to reflect the user’s inner thinking mode. A comparative approach was used to investigate the performance of 20 high-grade students with homogenous backgrounds and coursework. User experience level was measured based on the usability approach on pragmatic quality and hedonic quality like effectiveness (success rate of task completion), efficiency (task completion time) and satisfaction. The results then compared with an existing Japanese m-learning to gather the insight of improvement of our proposed method. Experimental results show that both m-learning versions proved can enhance learner performance in pragmatic attributes. Nevertheless, the study also reveals that an m-learning that employs the conversational mental model in the learning process is more valued by participants in hedonic qualities. Mean that the proposed m-learning which is developed with the mental model consideration and designed using A/B testing is able to provide conversational learning experience intuitively.

The occurrence of voltage instabilities or voltage collapses depend on the duration of the persistence of the fault and on the type of fault, some faults lead to voltage instabilities, others lead to voltage collapse. Evaluation of fault durations causing occurrence of voltage instabilities is the main goal of this paper. This paper searches for the effect of nodes short circuit levels NSCL and its duration periods initiation of voltage instability, with lagging and leading load power factors at certain loads buses. In this paper, the power system dynamic simulation program is developed for dynamic analysis of voltage stability. This paper is concerned with the fault duration which lead to the occurrence of voltage instability phenomena due to NSCL. The fault which lead to voltage instability is found to be short circuits at certain nodes cleared without any variation in the transmission system elements, i.e. the post-fault conditions will be the same as the pre-fault conditions. Models for loads considered in this study are induction motors with three different shaft mechanical loads, constant impedance CZ loads, constant current CI loads and constant power CP loads are used, as they depict the behavior of most power system loads. The influence of the transmission network impedances, which are nearly the inverse of the NSCL, on the fault duration which lead to the occurrence of voltage instabilities are studied and evaluated using various load representations.
