Semi-automatic segmentation is common in medical image processing because anatomical geometries demonstrated by human anatomical parts often requires manual supervision to provide desirable results. However, semi-automatic segmentation has been infamous for requiring excessive human intervention and time consuming. In order to reduce a forementioned problems, seed labels have been generated automatically using superpixels in our previous works. A fixed threshold method has been implemented to classify cartilage and background superpixels but this method is reported to lack the adaptiveness to changing image properties in 3D magnetic resonance image of knee. As a result, the coverage of background seeds are not sufficient to cover whole background area in some cases. In this work, we proposed a local mean based adaptive threshold method as a better alternative to the fixed threshold method. We calculated local mean for each block in an integral image and then use it to differentiate background superpixels from cartilage superpixels. The method is robust to illumination changes and simple to use. We tested the adaptive threshold on 35 knee images of different anatomical geometries and proved the proposed method could provide more comprehensive background seed labels distribution compared to fixed threshold method

This paper presented the energy harvester circuit to enable wireless charging method. The wireless RF spectrum is abundant and potent in the public locations, which can be used for energy harvesting purpose. This is supported by the fact that RF signals are ubiquitous and do not require propagation media of any sort. The system is developed using optimal antenna, matching circuit and charge pump circuit. The 2x2 array type patch antenna operated at 924 MHz is designed and simulated using High Frequency Simulator. The antenna works as a transducer to capture and measure the RF signals from freely available energy source. The field study was conducted at three different highly populated locations such as place of education, place of residence, and place of transport using Software Defined Radio (SDR). The respective acquired RF energy values are -10.45 dBFS (morning), -10.45 dBFS (noon), and -13.33 dBFS (night) at the place of transport for the demonstration purpose. The antenna parameters study also conducted and proved that the antenna gain is good which is greater than 6.6 dB and also return loss greater than -43dB. In addition, charge pump circuit is designed and shown to be capable of boosting the voltage more than 2.5 V easily at the different frequencies for wireless charging purpose.

The article in hand describes a processing line for preparation of feed for farm livestock and the design of an infrared drying unit integrated into this line. The main objective of this study is to find ways to provide a full-value feeding of farm animals throughout the calendar year. At present, there are various methods for preserving feed proposed with the aim of providing a full-fledged diet. However, following the recommendations for feed storage according to the recommended conditions, as a rule, results in high losses of its total weight and nutritional properties due to a long winter period with low-temperature regimes, typical of the Amur Region of Russia. This article presents the results of the study of a prospective processing line for the preparation of feed for long-term storage, which ensures the preservation of their basic nutritional properties, with an integrated infrared drying unit.

At a recent time voltage distortion is one of the foremost power quality problem at all level of power system. Power electronic controllers like various filtering technology have been used for more desirable solution of power quality problems to users. But still there is a voltage and frequency deviations problem in the power system leads to reduce in quality of power and thereby reduce the life of consumer equipment. To overcome this drawback and protects the sensitive loads from power quality problems, custom power devices are used. Among various custom power devices, Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is an ultimate solution to address the voltage correlated power quality problems. DVR is a usual three phase inverter which transforms DC to AC and vice-versa using DC link capacitor. Whenever utility is distorted by voltage correlated faults, DVR is dynamic and it shields the load from utility distortions. Whenever distortion arises, the control strategy for the DVR plays significant role to make the DVR in active condition. Among all control strategies, Synchronous reference frame theory is simple and suitable for DVR. The DVR topology is verified and validated using SIMULINK/MATLAB.

The performance of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) proved that it was an excellent technique for 4G.It provides good spectrum efficiency and it has excellent throughput in different situations. This technique can be improved to be suitable for 5G systems. Wavelet transform has many advantages that make it suitable and efficient approach to replace Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in conventional OFDM systems. Wavelet transform is employed in modern cellular networks to remove the use of cyclic prefix, which leads to decreasing the bandwidth losses and the power of transmission. Wavelet based OFDM system is designed in order to overcome the drawbacks of OFDM system so that the proposed system is good candidate for next generation of wireless communications.

Acoustic problem is a main issues of the existing classroom due to lack of absorption of surface material. Thus, a feed forward neural network system (FFNN) for classroom Reverberation Time (RT) estimation computation was built. This system was developed to assist the acoustic engineer and consultant to treat and reduce this matter. Data was collected and computed using ODEON12.10 ray tracing method, resulting in a total of 600 rectangular shaped classroom models that were modeled with various length, width, height, as well as different surface material types. The system is able to estimate RT for 500Hz, 1000Hz, and 2000Hz. Using the collected data, FFNN for each frequency were trained and simulated separately (as absorption coefficients are frequency dependent) in order to find the optimum solution. The final system was validated and compared with the actual measurement value from 15 different classrooms in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The developed system show positive results with average validation accuracy of 94.35%, 95.91%, and 96.42% for 500Hz, 1000Hz, and 2000Hz respectively.

Software testing is very time consuming, labor-intensive and complex process. It is found that 50% of the resources of the software development are consumed for testing. Testing can be done in two different ways such as manual testing and automatic testing. Automatic testing can overcomes the limitations of manual testing by decreasing the cost and time of testing process. Path testing is the strongest coverage criteria among all white box testing techniques as it can detect about 65% of defects present in a SUT. With the help of path testing, the test cases are created and executed for all possible paths which results in 100% statement coverage and 100% branch coverage .This paper presents a systematic review of test data generation and optimization for path testing using Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). Different EAs like GA, PSO, ACO, and ABCO based methods has been already proposed for automatic test case generation and optimization to achieve maximum path coverage.
