As the building sector has the largest share of energy consumption in most countries of the world, this paper focused on the study of one of the most important of the buildings which are the airports. Airports can play a major role in reducing the burden on the electrical grid as they have several factors that make them optimum models for applying energy efficiency strategies. Accordingly, the contribution in this paper is achieved by applying a Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) scheme to improve the energy efficiency of the Egyptian airports without compromising the comfort level of the occupants and validating the obtained results by the aid of “DesignBuilder” software conducted with the “EnergyPlus” simulator, which is a state-of-the-art 3D simulator tool for checking building energy, carbon, lighting, and comfort performance. The applied 3D simulator evaluates the impacts of implementing the proposed fuzzy control system instead of ON/OFF control schemes or Building Management System (BMS). In this context, case studies were conducted at three different Egyptian airports as a high, medium, and low occupancy level airports respectively to discuss the opportunities and challenges of applying the fuzzy logic scheme in airports according to the occupancy level.

Multilevel inverters have been opted for high power applications due to reduced harmonic distortion, less device voltage stress and modular structure. This work proposes new modified hybrid H-bridge multilevel inverter using auxiliary switch. This proposed inverter produces five levels output with five power devices and clamping diodes as a phase voltage and nine levels as a line voltage.The levels of the inverters are decided based on the phase voltage not on the line voltage. In this paper the performance of the proposed inverter are measured in terms of line voltage. However, by increase in the number of levels the proposed inverter with reduced number of switches produces low switching losses and improves the efficiency of the inverter. This method achieves the variation of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the inverter and output voltage is observed for various modulation indices. Simulation is performed using MATLAB-SIMULINK for line to line output voltage. Variable Amplitude Phase Disposition (VAPD) strategy provides output with relatively low distortion for all the strategies. It is also seen that VAPOD is found to perform better for all strategies since it provides relatively higher fundamental RMS output voltage.

The problem of forecasting mortality has been widely discussed and is being considered as an important issue among actuaries and demographers. Using age and sex-specific mortality data in Malaysia, we compare and evaluate the point forecast accuracy of six principal component methods. These six methods are the lee-carter (LC) method, the unadjusted LC method (LCnone), the lee-miller (LM) variant, the booth-mandonald-smith variant (BMS) and the two versions of the hyndman-ullah (HU). The overall performance of all methods was evaluated using out-sample forecasts based on the six error measures of three different data spanning with three different step-ahead forecasts. The data set consists of annual age-specific death rates (ASDR) for 17 age groups for both genders for the years 1980 to 2011. Results show that when the fitted period is longer, the LM method exhibits a better fit in Malaysia male ASDR and the HU6 method attains a better fit in Malaysia female ASDR. When the fitted period becomes shorter, the BMS method outperforms for male and HU1 for female ASDR. However, for overall performance, the LM method consistently outperforms others for Malaysia male ASDR and the LM and HU methods are the best good of fit for Malaysia ASDR.

The failure reasons of reciprocating sealing in OPI-1800AWS fracturing pump is analyzed by scanning electron microscope technology (SEMT). The lubrication mechanism of plunger seal friction pair is analyzed by hydrodynamic lubrication theory. During its discharge and suction stroke, the reciprocating sealing friction pair meets the conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication, a certain thickness of oil film can be formed and maintained between the plunger and V-shaped sealing interface, which can lubricate sealing pair, reduce friction and improve lifetime. The axial pressure distribution of the V-shaped sealing are carried out by theoretical analysis and experimental testing. According to the distribution curve of axial pressure, the V-shaped sealing failure and the determination of the number of loops are discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v10i3.610

Organic Light Emitting Displays (OLED) is a new type of display device which has become increasingly attractive and popular. Due to the complex manufacturing process, various defects may exist on the OLED panel affecting the quality and life of the display panels. These defects have the characteristics of fuzzy boundaries, irregular in shape, low contrast with background and especially, they are mixed with the pixel texture background increasing the difficulty of a rapid recognition. In this paper, we proposed an approach to detect the defects based on the model of independent component analysis (ICA). The ICA model is applied to a perfect OLED image to estimate its corresponding independent components (ICs) and create the de-mixing matrix. Through estimation and determination of a proper ICi row vector of the faultless image, a new de-mixing matrix can be generated which constitutes only uniform information and is then applied to reconstruct the texture background of source OLED images. Through the operation of subtraction of the reconstructed background from the source images and the binary segmentation, the defects can be detected. Based on the algorithms, a defect detection system for the OLED panels was implemented and the testing work was performed in this study. The testing results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v10i8.1968

In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of multi-node relay network under equal power allocation (EPA) scheme. Due to the mobility of relay nodes, we proposed to design a method that considers random relay location based on random model. We conduct deep experiments which demonstrate that there exists optimal relay location to minimize the outage probability of multi-node relay networks. Finally, simulation results show that the outage performance of the multi-node relay network is closely related to the relay location. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i8.2742

Particle filter for object tracking could achieve high tracking accuracy. To track the object, this method generates a number of particles which is the representation of the candidate target object. The location of target object is determined by particles and each weight. The disadvantage of conventional particle filter is the computational time especially on the computation of particle’s weight. Particle filter with Gaussian weighting is proposed to accomplish the computational problem. There are two main stages in this method, i.e. prediction and update. The difference between the conventional particle filter and particle filter with Gaussian weighting is in the update Stage. In the conventional particle filter method, the weight is calculated in each particle, meanwhile in the proposed method, only certain particle’s weight is calculated, and the remain particle’s weight is calculated using the Gaussian weighting. Experiment is done using artificial dataset. The average accuracy is 80,862%. The high accuracy that is achieved by this method could use for the real time system tracking.

Optimal queueing control of multi-hop networks remains a challenging problem, e specially in two-way relaying systems, even in the most straightforward scenarios. In this paper, we explore two-way relaying having a full-duplex decode-and-forward relay with two fifinite buffers. Principally, we propose a novel concept based on the multi-agent reinforcement learning (that maximizes the cumulative network throughput) based on the combination of the buffer states and the lossy links; a decision is generated as to whether it can transmit, receive or even simultaneously receive and transmit information. Towards this objective, chieflfly, based on the queue state transi tion and the lossy links, an analytic Markov decision process is proposed to analyze this scheme, and the throughput and queueing delay are derived. Our numerical results reveal exciting insights. First, artifificial intelligence based on reinforcement learning is optimal when the length of the buffer is superior to a certain threshold. Second, we demonstrate that reinforcement learning can boost transmission effificiency and prevent buffer overflflow.

Along the implementation of Information Technology (IT), there are incident, request, problem, and event. According to this, organizations need to implement a function which can be a single point to provide communication between IT service provider and IT users. Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) mentions service desk as a function to operate solution of this matter. But, recently organizations find new challenge which is related to service desk staffs’ motivation. The repeated activities which are run by service desk may cause saturation. This situation will affect workplace enviroment and productivity. In this research, we propose a design to help organization build game-like activities as solution to boost service desk’s motivation which can give good impact to service desk’s quality. Our proposed design uses game approach and ITIL practices to ensure that game-based service desk is well designed.
