This study introduced the Inversed Bi-segmented Average Crossover (IBAX), a novel crossover operator that enhanced the offspring generation of the genetic algorithm (GA) for variable minimization and numerical optimization problems. An attempt to come up with a new mating scheme in generating new offspring under the crossover function through the novel IBAX operator has paved the way to a more efficient and optimized solution for variable minimization particularly on premature convergence problem using GA. A total of 597 records of student-respondents in the evaluation of the faculty instructional performance, represented by 30 variables, from the four State Universities and Colleges (SUC) in Caraga Region, Philippines were used as the dataset. The simulation results showed that the proposed modification on the Average Crossover (AX) of the genetic algorithm outperformed the genetic algorithm with the original AX operator. The GA with IBAX operator combined with rank-based selection function has removed 20 or 66.66% of the variables while 13 or 43.33% of the variables were removed when GA with AX operator and roulette wheel selection function was used.

PV emulator (PVE) is a power supply that produces similar current‑voltage (I‑V) characteristic as the PV module. It simplifies the testing of the PV system during the development phase. Since the output voltage and current of the PVE change based on various factors (load, irradiance and temperature), the computation of the operating point for the PVE is crucial. The resistance feedback control strategy is a robust and fast approach to find the operating point for the PVE. Nonetheless, it uses an uncommon current‑resistance PV model, which cannot be computed using the conventional approach. This work introduces the reverse triangular number to compute the PV model and obtained the operating point of the PVE. The reverse triangular number is based on the variable step sizes that allow fast computation of the PV model. The operating point is then used by the PI controller and the buck converter to produce the output voltage and current similar to the PV module. The results show that the reverse triangular number is able to compute the PV model accurately. In addition, the proposed PVE not only works well with resistive load but adapts accurately under the integration with maximum power point tracking converter.

This paper addresses the problem of robust altitude and attitude control of ‘×’ mode configuration quadrotor UAV using Lyapunov stability based sliding mode control with saturation function. The dynamic model of the quadrotor was derived by considering nonlinearity factor. MATLAB Simulink was used to simulate the model in two different conditions; without and with the presence of external disturbance. This was done to test the robustness of the control method. Simulation results showed that the sliding mode controller provides good performance and robustness against disturbance.

A 3D printed horn antenna at ka-band is presented in this paper. The horn antenna is well known for high gain performance. The performance of the horn antenna manufactured using 3D printed technology is investigated in this work. The horn is designed based on WR-28 waveguide standard. The proposed horn is simulated by computer simulation technology (CST) software and fabricated using 3D printing direct metal laser melting technique. The 3D printing technique gives the antenna an advantage of being not just rapid manufactured but also low-cost and lightweight. However, several works reported on 3D printed devices highlight the effects of surface roughness and dimensional tolerance on the performances. Therefore, the printed horn is profiled to correlate the surface roughness and dimension tolerance towards the performance. The printed horn is measured using standard VNA. The results showed that the measured performance agreed fairly with the simulation with directive radiation pattern at 15 dBi gain. The printed horn has a weight of less than 130g and considerably working at Ka band regardless of the surface roughness resulted from the fabrication process.

This study aims to investigate the memory performances of graphene as a charge storage layer in the floating gate with difference doping concentration of n-channel and p-channel substrates using Silvaco ATLAS TCAD Tools. The simulation work has been done to determine the performance of flash memory in terms of memory window, P/E characteristics and data retention and have been validated with the experimental work done by other researchers. From the simulation data, the trend of memory window at low P/E voltage is nearly overlapped between simulation and experimental data. The memory window at ±20V P/E voltage for n-channel and p-channel flash memory cell are 15.4V and 15.6V respectively. The data retention for the n-channel flash memory cell is retained by 75% (from 15.4V to 11.6V) whereas for the p-channel flash memory cell is retained by 80% (from 15.6V to 12.5V) after 10 years of extrapolation with -1/1V gate stress which shows that p-channel flash memory cell demonstrates better data retention compared to n-channel flash memory cell.

This paper presents modeling and finite element analysis of a thermopneumatic micropump with a novel design that does not affect the temperature of the working fluid. The micropump is operated by activating a passive wireless heater using wireless power transfer when the magnetic field is tuned to match the resonant frequency of the heater. The heater is responsible for heating an air-heating chamber that is connected to a loading reservoir through a microdiffuser element. The solution inside the reservoir is pumped through a microchannel that ends with an outlet hole. The thermal and pumping performances of the micropump are analyzed using finite element method over a low range of Reynold’s number ⩽ 10 that is suitable for various biomedical applications. The results demonstrate promising performance with a maximum flow rate of ∼2.86 μL/min at a chamber temperature of 42.5 ºC, and a maximum pumping pressure of 406.5 Pa. The results show that the developed device can be potentially implemented in various biomedical areas, such as implantable drug delivery applications.

In most cases, the quantum time length is taken to be fix in all applications that use Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm. Many attempts aim to determination of the optimal length of the quantum that results in a small average turnaround time, but the unknown nature of the tasks in the ready queue make the problem more complicated: Considering a large quantum length makes the RR algorithm behave like a First Come First Served (FIFO) scheduling algorithm, and a small quantum length cause high number of contexts switching. In this paper we propose a RR scheduling algorithm based on Neural Network Models for predicting the optimal quantum length which lead to a minimum average turnaround time. The quantum length depends on tasks burst times available in the ready queue. Rather than conventional traditional methods using fixed quantum length, this one giving better results by minimizing the average turnaround time for almost any set of jobs in the ready queue.

The usage of batteries in recent years has become widespread in many fields e.g. in electric vehicles, energy renewable and stand-alone systems which require a robust approach for estimation of the state of charge (SOC). The SOC represents an important factor to guaranty safe operations. A lot of methods have been used to predict the state of charge. The coulomb counting method is the famous and widely used among them, but have limitation due to its accuracy. Another used approach is the Kalman Filter, which improves the estimation efficiency, to reach a good performance in SOC prediction. The version of adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) technique is applied in this paper. This paper presents an experimental performance of technique of Kalman filter, for solving the problem of accurate SOC. The method is used to compute the terminal voltage in such a way to estimate the SOC. The proposed algorithm is based on preselected Thevenin model after the identification of its parameters. It has been used to predict the SOC based on nonlinear equations, and evaluation of the approach is verified with the experimental results. The final results signify that the estimation matched with the proposed model and the algorithm is performed optimally, thus the maximum soc estimation error is the finest

In photovoltaic system, solar energy is not able to be directly utilized to the grid. This is because the the generated output voltage from solar array are fluctuating depends on the environmental condition, such as the intensity of solar irradiance and temperature. Any changes from those variables will affect the generated output voltage. Boost converter is one type of power converter that is able to regulate the output voltage of solar array to dc grid. However, the dynamics of boost converter is nonlinear and non-minimum phase. Therefore, it requires an appropriate control method that can force the output voltage follows the desired reference voltage, by considering the fluctuation of environmental conditions and loads. To reduce the number of sensors and cost investment, nonlinear observer technique is employed to estimate the input voltage and load variations. By considering this problem, this paper is aimed at designing nonlinear observer based on adaptive sliding mode control with PI sliding surface for boost converter. The stability of proposed system is investigated through analytical and simulation proof. As comparison with PID controller, the performance of proposed system has produced Integral Absolute Error (IAE) about 7 times smaller than PID controller when it is tested under various conditions.
