Abstract: |
California bearing ratio (CBR) for natural fine soils has wide range
values approximately from 1.5 to 40%, and according to Iraqi
specification (SOBR R5) CBR values should not be less than 5%. Many
studies use geogrid and geotextile meshes as layers and others use hair
fiber, waste plastic strip, jute fiber, fly ash and crushed waste glass
to improve CBR value of weak fill soil layers generally. This study
motivated to use new method approach for improving CBR value of weak
clay soils by using available not expansive fence BRC mesh and normal
construction BRC. Several trails has been conducted to construct soil
CBR sample with single and double BRC meshes layer with different mesh
sections to note the effect of using these meshes on soil CBR value, the
distribution of meshes was constructing depending on sample height.
Studying the effect of using BRC meshes on soil penetration has been
also conducted in order to measure the prepared natural soil behavior
during loading process. Results shows that CBR improvement ratio is
increased when the CBR value depends on (7.5mm) penetration and recorded
lower values if the CBR value depends on 2.5 and 5mm penetration. The
maximum improvement ratio was about 2 when the sample reinforced with
double two layers of normal construction (BRC). |

Kim |
Abstract: |
The infection of the titanium implants still remains a problem which is
usually difficult to treat and may lead to eventual implant removal. As
a result, preventive measures are necessary to mitigate implant-related
infection; one important strategy is to render the implant surface
antibacterial. The objective of the present study was to develop a
biomedical material for preventing and reduction the effect of
Escherichia coli bacteria type on the prosthetic implants; this was done
by investigating the effect of the radioisotope with CO60 as the source
of Gamma ray with thickness film of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) of
(Alumina and titanium) coated on Ti6Al4V alloy by using RF magnetron
sputtering for growth-inhibitory effect on Escherichia colibacteria. The
TiO2 coated as mid layer between substrate Ti alloy and Al2O3to increase
the adhesion between coated film and substrate, also to reduce thermal
expansion mismatch between substrate and Al2O3layer. The nanoparticles
size of Al2O3 was 380nm. The results refers that the increasing of the
thickness (t) of coated exposure of Gamma ray lead to increase the
absorption (A) of radiation and reflection (R). By increasing (R), the
material of coated become as source for Gamma ray around environment to
reduce the growth of bacteria. In this study, the Gamma ray and
increasing thickness at very high concentrations Al2O3 layer with
nanoparticle size380nm are contributed to reduce growth of Escherichia
coli. The effect of inhibited bacteria increased with increasing
thickness of thin film. |

Author (s): |
Nestor Enrique Cerquera, Jennifer Katiusca Castro and Eduardo Pastrana-Bonilla |
Abstract: |
Post-harvest losses of fruits such as passion fruit make it necessary to
introduce technologies and processes that allow the most efficient use
of the same. In the present work the dehydrated sheets of pulp of
passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa) was characterized and
was evaluated sensorially. For the dehydration tests, a static type
equipment was used and fresh and dehydrated passion fruit pulp was
characterized taking into account: moisture content, soluble solids, pH,
acidity and proximal analysis. The conservation parameters of the
dehydrated pulp were satisfactory, which was favored by the low water
activity reached in the dehydrated product; the sensorial evaluation
showed that temperature and speed of drying air used do not exert an
influence that can be perceived in the evaluation of the quality
factors. |

Mehdi A., Bantignies J. L. and Henn F. |
Abstract: |
Electrochromic nickel hydroxide film has been prepared for the first
time, using electrochemical template synthesis with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
as template. Such advanced Ni(OH)2/PVA composite film has improved
adhesion to substrate and can be potentially used for manufacturing
flexible electrochromic devices. Films obtained by template cathodic
deposition can be stored in a dry state without morphological changes
which allows for optimization of manufacturing of complete devices. The
optimal concentration of polyvinyl in electrodeposition solution has
been found 5% wt. It has been demonstrated that polyvinyl forms
nanosized 3-D matrix on substrate surface which promotes formation of
X-ray amorphous nickel hydroxide and is incorporated into the film. It
has been established, that at optimal current density 0.625 mA/cm2 the
deposition rate is 3.87µm/h. By simultaneously recording cyclic
voltammogramms and colorization curves high electrochemical and optical
properties of films prepared using template synthesis with PVA have been
demonstrated, with coloration degree of up to 80%. Significant effect of
drying temperature on electrochemical and optical properties of Ni(OH)2/PVA
composite films has been demonstrated. Low drying temperature (20°)
results in films with high electrochemical activity and coloration
degree. At 90° ? a drop in colorization degree has been observed. |

Abstract: |
In order to provide the most efficient indices of development of
underground excavations the main attention is paid to blasting
operations, namely, to determination of optimum parameters of drilling
and blasting operations. Development of new and reconstruction of
existing mines require for extended scope of excavating works, their
length can reach some tens of kilometers. Up till now excavations at
most of mines are developed using drilling and blasting operations.
Improvement of drilling and blasting operations is one of trends to
increase efficiency of excavation development. Reliability extent of
calculated parameters of drilling and blasting operations can influence
on technical and economical performances of excavation development. At
present numerous existing procedures are empiric dependencies, they are
based on primary determination of specific consumption of explosive. The
main drawback of such procedures is the application of coefficients of
specific consumption, which vary in wide range, their values depend on
the qualification of experts who perform such calculations. As a
consequence, the parameters of drilling and blasting operations are set
on the basis of averaged values, which impair efficiency of blasting
operations. We believe that calculations of parameters of drilling and
blasting operations should account for the most complete range of
factors playing important role in impact of blasting energy on
destructing massif. In addition, the proposed engineering approach
should enable improvement of efficiency of blasting operations with
desirable decrease in material and non-material expenditures. This work
describes briefly tock destruction by blasting of explosives, highlights
main factors influencing on efficiency of drilling and blasting
operations upon development of excavations. The work analyzes
calculation procedures of main performances of drilling and blasting
operations, recommendations are given for development of pattern of
drilling and blasting operations on the basis of calculation of
destruction zones of rock massif. |

Title: |
Improvement of palm oil biodiesel properties using ethanol as an
additive and its effect on diesel engine performance, combustion and
emissions |
Author (s): |
S. Madiwale, A. Karthikeyan, V. Bhojwani and M. Dombale |
Abstract: |
As we need an alternating fuel that will replace diesel fuel in order to
reduce the harmful emissions coming out of engine as exhaust by
products, which necessitates the improvement in engine performance and
increase in combustion characteristics of fuels in the combustion
chamber. As biodiesels are having high viscosity and higher flashpoint
than diesel, it will be difficult to use biodiesel as a fuel alone in
present diesel engines. Hence it is preferred to blend biodiesel with
diesel to get required properties of blend that will suit the present
diesel engines. But higher kinematic viscosity of biodiesel/diesel
blends as compared to diesel affects the atomization of fuel in the
combustion chamber which further reduces the combustion pressure and
temperature and reduces the power output of the engine. This
necessitates the addition of ethanol as an additive in the blends which
further enhances the hot flow, cold flow and thermo-physical properties
of the biodiesel/diesel blends. Therefore in this study feedstock of
palm oil biodiesel is used as fuel with 5% ethanol by volume as an
additive in the blends of palm oil biodiesel/diesel blends. Hot flow and
cold flow properties of blends of palm oil biodiesel/ethanol/diesel
blends are experimentally investigated as per IS 1448 standards.
Investigation outcome shows that ethanol as an additive improves the
kinematic viscosity of blends of palm oil biodiesel/diesel by 4% lesser
than biodiesel/diesel blend without ethanol and 12% higher than diesel.
But on the other hand calorific value of the blends with the addition of
ethanol decreases calorific value by 6.27% than biodiesel/diesel blend
without ethanol and 6.87 % than diesel. Most importantly the cold flow
properties are enhanced by the addition of ethanol in the blend such as
cloud point increases by 13 % than biodiesel/diesel blend without
ethanol and pour point increases by 14% than biodiesel/diesel blend
without ethanol. The combustion and performance analysis are improved
with the addition of ethanol and decreases the harmful emissions from
the exhaust manifold of the engine. The effect of ethanol as an additive
in the blends of palm oil biodiesel/diesel blend on properties,
performance, and combustion and on emissions are studied in this paper. |

Fractional Frequency Reuse and Dynamic Power Control methods |
Author (s): |
Azita Laily Yusof, Mastura Rosdi, Norsuzila Ya’acob and Nur Idora Abd.
Razak |
Abstract: |
In Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a femtocell as known as Home
Evolve Node B (HeNB) is a small base station that aims for indoor usage
such as at home or enterprise in order to fulfill the upcoming demand of
high data rates. It is very user deployed so it reduces operations cost
for mobile operators, and at the same time provide a high user
experiences to users. However, femtocell deployments caused interference
between femtocells itself and also to the existing macrocells due to
sharing the same frequency band between macrocell and femtocell. In
order to achieve a high network capacity and a good user experience,
more advanced interference coordination and radio resource management
schemes would be required as compared to the conventional cellular
network. Hence, the interference management methods which the are
Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and the Dynamic Power Control (DPC)
were proposed. This paper analyzed on the performance analysis of
handover strategy in macrocell and femtocell networks for balancing the
network User Equipment (UE) by offload traffic from macrocell to the
femtocell and hence the high load balancing of UE network can be
achieved and then minimize the interference occurrence in the network by
using the proposed methods. The simulation results showed that the
proposed combining methods give a significant reduction of number of
handovers and inter-cell interference in LTE HetNets by offloading the
macrocells traffic to the femtocells and higher load balancing
performance can be achieved. |

oil-contaminated wastewater meant for injection into geological
formation |
Author (s): |
Ivan Golubev and Yana Karpova |
Abstract: |
The paper deals with water conditioning issues in oil-field development
using water-flooding. It is common knowledge that injected water
contains oil residues and mechanical impurities, which affect
permeability of geological horizon. It has been shown that these water
impurities could intensify rock colmatation up to a full clogging of
pores and fractures. Hence, issues of improving quality of injected
water, aimed to ensure enhancement of reservoir properties, have been
studied from a variety of new angles. There are given results of
conducted test experiments as well as detailed description of elaborated
equipment design. It has been established that two-stage treatment
technology proposed in the paper, by making use of magnetic treatment
device and sewage tank with liquid hydrophobic layer, will allow to
considerably improve quality of injected water. Suggested water
treatment unit appears to be highly applicable, providing a maximum
effect at a minimum material cost. |

coils for wireless electricity |
Author (s): |
Chandrasekharan Nataraj, Sheroz Khan, Mohammed Hadi Habaebi and Asan G. A.
Muthalif |
Abstract: |
A basic analysis of inductive coils and its parameter calculations are
presented. The simulations of mutual inductance, coupling factor
calculations are demonstrated with graphical analysis. Three different
lab-scale coil models such as square, circular and rectangular coils are
wounded to evaluate the magnetic field by experiment, to validate the
performance of Wireless Power System (WPT). In the open literature,
circular coils are employed in most of the works, but lessworks were
shown in the parameter analysis. Further investigations on parameter
exploration seems as a prerequisite for magnetic field measurement by
estimating the parameters such as mutual inductance (M), coupling
factor( k), magnetic flux (F) and magnetic field (B). It helps us to select
the coils according to the applications. In this work, it is observed
that circular performs well than other shaped coils in terms of
parametrical analysis which are mentioned above. The simulation, and
experimental results are tabulated as well as supported graphical plots
are shown as proving circular coils performs well in the WPT scenario. |

Abstract: |
A small size ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna having dimensions of 12x 19
mm2incorporated with dual band-rejected properties and good gain is
recommended in this paper. The recommended antenna consists of
amicrostrip line fed rectangular-shaped patch with a circular slot on
one side of FR4 substrate and rectangular DGS (Defected Ground
Structure) on the other side. By etching a circle on the patch, dual
band notch properties are obtained from 5.08 to 6.14 GHz WLAN band and
9.58 to 10.69 GHz. The recommended antenna has an impedance bandwidth
ranges from 4.6 to 11.2 GHz. Simulation is carried out with HFSS
software and measurements are carried out with E5071C Vector Network
Analyzer. Simulated results are compared with measured results and they
are in good agreement. We have observed there is no significant change
in the return loss parameters even though the circular slot of same
dimensions etched on ground. This suggested antenna can be used to
overcome the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) between UWB systems and
WLAN systems. |

Methodology to reduce vampire power using
PIC microcontroller |
Author (s): |
Anup Kumar, K. Fathima, T. Mary Saranya and S. Hema |
Abstract: |
In the rapidly developing world, energy saving has become one of the
major aspect in day-to-day’s life. For an efficient energy saving, all
parts of the world are working in all possible ways to avoid the energy
crisis in order to conserve it for the future generation. Among the
various sources of energy crisis, vampire power plays a major role. Most
of us are not aware that the electrical device consumes power even when
they are in standby or sleep mode. Those are the power which must be
paid as tariff to the government. In olden days, vampire power was not
taken into account since they did not contribute much to the wastage of
energy. But now-a-days, due to the invention and introduction of many
advanced electrical and electronic equipment, there is a large amount of
wastage of energy due to vampire power which must be taken into account.
It contributes to about 20W of the total energy supplied at our
residents. This rating depends on the type and model of the appliance
used. So, our project proposes a system that controls the vampire power
using a microcontroller depending on the relation within the different
home appliances and the user’s behavior with the devices, thereby
saving the energy benefiting a safer future and reducing the tariffs of
electricity bills. |

Abstract: |
Blackhole attack is considered to be a virulent attack in mobile
Ad Hoc
networks (MANETs) that operate on reactive routing protocols. This paper
presents an efficient cross layer approach to detect the malicious node
that launches the blackhole attack. The proposed scheme uses Adaptive
Neuro- Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), which combines the benefits of
neural networks and fuzzy logic, in the detection process. Experimental
results prove that the cross layer approach using ANFIS outperforms the
scheme using single layer approach. The proposed scheme produces 100%
true detection when Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering is used and 95.9% for
subtractive clustering. The detection time has also been comparatively
reduced. |

Charger monitoring stream analysis using artificial neural networks |
Author (s): |
Junghoon Lee and Gyung-Leen Park |
Abstract: |
This paper develops a trace and prediction model for the energy load
imposed by electric vehicle charging in Jeju City, based on artificial
neural networks as well as the massive amount of charger monitoring
streams collected for about 1 year. The monitoring system generates a
data archive, in which a single report essentially embraces charger ID,
timestamp, and battery level reading. Our data analysis module,
consisting of MySQL, R, and C program implementation across Linux and
Windows PC domains, not only processes raw data files to insert into a
database table but also finds the active charger set. The distributions
of the number of reports and the power consumption for each charger are
investigated. For the day-by-day power consumption stream for vehicle
charging, a neural network model traces and predicts the time series
having 124 sequential values. The experiment result shows that our model
catches up with unpredictable spikes just with small time lag. |

Generation of liability reports for a retailer for third-party coupon
transactions |
Author (s): |
Sarbani Mallick, Sana S. and N. Srinivasan |
Abstract: |
Today Retailers process third party coupons by having an integration of
their POS terminals directly with the third-party vendor databases, to
validate the details of coupons, keeping the customers waiting at POS
machine. To eliminate the inefficient process of having customer wait
long, till the coupon approval response received from third-party vendor
database, redesign the entire validation process to be simple, faster
and real-time by having a solution where in the retailer maintains his
own local database holding third-party coupon details with real-time
integration of this database to the POS terminals. This solution
simplifies the validation process, makes it real-time avoiding customer
wait times thereby enhancing customer experience and customer
satisfaction. This solution is designed to achieve this major objective: Business process simplification - coupon validation simplified by
integration to one consolidated retailer local database rather every
time going to multiple third-party databases for every coupon
validation/redemption transaction. In addition all shop outlets of the
retailer can access consolidated retailer database to provide same
experience to customer across all its branches making validation process faster and real-time - use retailer
consolidated database only to pull coupon details real-time during
business hours; night time do a batch updates of coupon details from
multiple third-party vendor databases to the retailer database; this
ensures faster retrieval of coupon details from the database during
business hours enhance customer experience and satisfaction - wait time of customer for
coupon processing/approval at the POS terminal will be drastically
reduced making it more real-time thus giving a pleasant experience to
customer. |

Centralized clustering algorithm to enhance energy consumption in
Wreless Sensor Networks |
Author (s): |
Mustafa Fuad Ismail and Dahlila Putri Dahnil |
Abstract: |
A Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) composed of a large number of sensor
nodes within a sensing geographical area. Energy consumption is
considered a major WSNs issue. Therefore, a considerable number of
researches have investigated various ways to reduce energy consumption.
One of the best techniques used to reduce energy consumption is
clustering. Clustering helps to improve the network performance through
extending the battery lifetime. Our study improves the work on LEACH
Enhancements for WSNs based on the energy model by introducing the
K-means clustering approach to improve energy and increase network
lifespan. The proposed approach divides the nodes into member nodes and
cluster head nodes. The member nodes transmit data to the cluster head,
whereas, the cluster head nodes are responsible for communication with
the base station. This approach is a centralized election technique
where the base station makes the decision for selecting the cluster
heads based on the information received from each node. The advantage of
the proposed technique is that the information of each node is only sent
once to the base station during the initialization phase. The base
station performs weightage calculation for all nodes and nodes with the
highest weights are elected as cluster heads. The base station also
decides the cluster members and the decisions are then transmitted to
all nodes in the network. This research introduces weightage calculation
based on three important parameters which are remaining energy, number
of neighbor nodes and the node’s distance to base station. The proposed
technique consists of three phases: Initialization Phase, Setup Phase,
and Selection Phase. The results of our proposed technique shows
significant improvement of the residual energy, the total energy
consumption, the total alive nodes, and total packets delivered compared
to LEACH Enhancement for WSNs based on the energy model technique. In
conclusion, the results of this study show improvements and achieved the
objectives of this paper. |

Eye tracking electronic wheelchair for physically challenged person |
Author (s): |
Chee F. P., Duinong M., Chang H. W. J., Awang A., Francis A. S. and
Dayou J. |
Abstract: |
A robotic wheelchair with novel ideas which integrates three different
options to all kinds of impairment as well as disabilities was designed
in this project. The first option allows users that are not capable of
moving their limbs, to navigate the wheelchair using their eye, namely
the optical detector. The optical detector allows user that suffers
severe disability such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that
paralyzes the victim mobility entirely to move by moving their eye to
desired location. The secondary option provides common wheelchair users
who are suffering from less severe disability to navigate using a touch
input option which is accessible via their smart phones, namely touch
and go APP. The touch and go APP can be controlled easily as well as
adjusting the speed of the wheelchair. The third option works for users
with limited mobility by using a voice command application. In addition,
the robotic wheelchair is integrated with multiple safety features, an
ultrasonic sensor and dual bump sensor. The ultrasonic sensor is to
create a threshold distance between the user and obstacle in front and
to prevent collision. The bump sensor works as a failsafe, where an

Breakeven point and incremental analysis in decision making of
lease-purchase option of heavy equipment at nickel lateritic ore mining |
Author (s): |
Rini Novrianti Sutardjo Tui, Aryanti Virtanti Anas and Nur Fitriani |
Abstract: |
Production and cost planning were several important things to be
considered in making decisions for development of a company production.
Revenues from production process of lateritic nickel ore mining in PT.
ANTAM (Persero) Tbk, UBPN Sultra last few years only provided profit
that did not reach the company’s target. The costs greatly affected
economics of production and corporate profits, one of which was the cost
of procurement of heavy equipment. The company was still using heavy
equipment leasing services to carry out production activities. Based on
these problems, it was necessary to do an analysis about production and
decision making procurement of heavy equipment with a lease-purchase
alternative for year 2016 to 2020. The data used were costs, data
company's production and price data from factors that affected the heavy
equipments operation. Production was analyzed by using breakeven point
analysis, whereas for deciding on leasing or purchasing was using
incremental analysis and sensitivity analysis. Based on data processing
and analysis, it was indicated that laterite nickel ore production in
2012-2015 would still be in a state of breakeven. Estimation results of
production in 2016-2020 to maintain the safety limit production showed
that production of nickel laterite ore would also still be in the
breakeven point. Based on the analysis of incremental and sensitivity,
when the heavy equipments lifetime lasted for five years, the
procurement of heavy equipment by purchasing was more efficient compared
to the lease option. |

Vimal Kumar S., Vasudevan S. and Mary Posonia A. |
Abstract: |
“URBAN MODE OF DISPATCHING STUDENTS” is one which is aimed solely at
easing the parent’s concern of getting their wards dispatched. This work
is done in such a way that the wards are not allowed to leave the
premises without prior permission from their parents or guardians.
Compared to the traditional mode of student dispatch this model aims at
using the Short Code Service as a mode of seeking permission from the
institutions by the parents for their wards. Furthermore, a Quick
Response (QR) code will be sent to the concerned email id’s where at the
time of arrival or departure the code is to be scanned for proper
authentication of the concerned individual. An android application is
designed supremely for the purpose of scanning the QR code and verifying
the identity of the individual as well as the nature of the permission
being sought by their folks. |

Author (s): |
Sireesha T., Lakshmanan L. and Kavya T. |
Abstract: |
While steady spammers misuse the built up trust connections between
record proprietors and their companions to effectively spread noxious
spam, auspicious discovery of traded off records is very testing because
of the entrenched trust relationship between the specialist
organizations, account proprietors, and their companions. In the
proposed framework, we propose recognizable proof of same client in
various interpersonal organization destinations (SNS) and disposal of
fake client account from the SNS. This is accomplished by means of
checking screen name, photograph, companions list, sexual orientation,
area, birthday and school/school instruction and working spot. Utilizing
these behavioral components of client social conduct, it distinguishes
the fake client. In the adjustment procedure, aside from the evacuation
of unknown records we likewise add on distinguishing proof Friends in
view of client's attitude/Interest. We are observing Users Interest,
Likes posted by the client and Android based versatility design
examination. Closest companions are distinguished and security layer is
encompassed by observing client's conduct design. Revolting worded posts
are evacuated and the client is ended if there should be an occurrence
of trouble making. |

A. |
Abstract: |
Online shopping is the trend nowadays; there has been an increasing
demand for easy analysis of the many consumer reviews posted in the
internet. The more number of reviews there are about a product, the more
difficult it becomes for consumers to navigate through the reviews to
arrive at an informed decision about the product. We propose a product
feature ranking framework, which automatically identifies the important
aspects of products from online consumer reviews, aiming at improving
the usability of the various reviews. The important product aspects are
the specifications that are frequently commented on by the masses. The
more frequent an aspect is mentioned, the more important it is to
increase the overall opinion of the product by document level
classification and extractive review summarization. |

Disease predictive, best drug: Big data implementation of drug query
with disease prediction, side effects and feedback analysis |
Author (s): |
Sathish S. and Usha Nandhini |
Abstract: |
Nowadays medicine consuming has become day to day activities for the
people who were suffering from diseases. Hence many of the people are
not aware of the medicine which is prescribed by doctors or pharmacies.
Once they are affected by diseases they are approaching doctor and they
are in taking the medicines prescribed by them, without having any
knowledge about it and gets affected by its side effects. Due to the
advancement in medical field many different approach are proposed about
using medicines. Many medicines are available for one disease in which
some causes side effects. Some patients have an side effect in which the
medicine causes same side effects which results in increase in disease.
My proposed system is that first we will identify the disease based on
patient symptoms and do analysis in that and we will predict disease and
suggest the best tablet which do not causes side effects by doing
analysis on trained sets based on patient positive improvement and sort
the best medicine in ascending order and suggest the medicine to
patient, if the patient has some side effects in that top order
medicine, next medicine is prescribed and we make appointment for good
and best available doctors and book an appointment for that patient. |

Author (s): |
Yousif Ali Saadi, Rosilah Hassan and Dahlila Putri Dahnil |
Abstract: |
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) can be the key technology for the future
of wireless networks. However, WMNs implementation still has many issues
to be resolved especially on finding the best path to forward
information. According to many researches, one of the most important
component in WMNs is the routing protocol and how to make it efficient
in performing the requirements of WMNs. Directional Hierarchical Ad-hoc
On-demand Distance Vector (DH-AODV) routing protocol, proposed to
enhances Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for
WMNs. DH-AODV is performing well for WMN, but in this routing protocol
no mechanism is considered to deal with the energy consumption of the
nodes in the network. Therefore, in this paper we propose an
Energy-aware DH-AODV (E-DH-AODV) routing protocol to select a path
toward a gateway based on the energy balance. Furthermore, E-DH-AODV can
reduce the number of broadcasting route request (RREQ) packets, by
sending these packets toward the gateway considering the nodes with less
hop-count only. The simulation results shows that E-DH-AODV can reduce
the energy variance consumption by 10%, increase the packet delivery
ratio (PDR) by 9%, and reduce the overhead by 5% in comparison with DH-AODV. |

Effects of dual versus super single truck tire on flexible pavement
performance: A mechanistic approach |
Author (s): |
Ahmad M. Abu Abdo |
Abstract: |
With the widely observed premature failures of flexible pavements,
attentions have been directed to changes on heavy vehicles loads, axles
configurations, and tire types and pressure as a cause for such
phenomenon. Super single (wide-base) tires were introduced in early
1980s as a replacement to traditional dual tires, and considered
beneficial to the transportation industries. However, this type of tires
proved to cause more damage to flexible pavements. Recently, new
generation of super single tires were developed with a promise that the
damage issue was addressed. Many studies were conducted but were in
disagreements in their findings. Thus, this study was conducted. 3D Move
Analysis software was used to conduct analytical evaluation and compare
both tire configurations by utilizing existing project and actual
materials test data. Results showed that when compared to dual tires,
super single tire induced less normal stresses in the analyzed flexible
pavement by 28% in the z direction and 45% in the y direction and 47% in
the x direction. Therefore and as per the results of the analysis, super
single tires would inflect less percentage of bottom up cracking in the
asphalt concrete layer and less permanent deformation in all pavement
layers. |

Water and glycol coolants in the autonomous heat supply |
Author (s): |
Pavel Aleksandrovich Khavanov and Anatoly Sergeevich Chulenyov |
Abstract: |
The solution to the problem of defrosting in the autonomous systems of
heat supply in cases of an accidental power outage is often solved by
replacing the water in the "freezing" of heat carriers, which include
the water-glycol mixture. However, it must be borne in mind that the
water-glycol fluids can lead to significant violations of the mode of
operation of the heating system, which may lead to a decrease of heat
transfer and the ingress of air into the system, as well as boiler
malfunction that could lead to a decrease in performance or damage to
the heating surfaces due to the formation of domestic deposits. In this
study reviewed and analyzed thermal and hydraulic features of
water-glycol (WG), water-ethylene-glycol (WEG) and
water-propylene-glycol (WPG) coolants autonomous heating systems of
various types. Analyzed the cost comparison, coolant system pressure
losses and the principle choice of the volume of the expansion vessel. |

Author (s): |
Norlela Ishak, Mazidah Tajjudin, Hashimah Ismail and Ramli Adnan |
Abstract: |
Electro-Hydraulic actuator is common tools used in the industries. This
is due to accurate positioning toward the load and fast response make it
as major instruments for the industries process. This paper presents
experimental work on non-recursive identification of Electro-Hydraulic
actuator system that represented by a discrete-time model in open-loop
configuration. A least square method is used to estimate the unknown
parameters of the system based on auto regression with exogenous input (ARX)
model. The plant mathematical model was approximated using system
identification by aid of System Identification Toolbox of Matlab from
open-loop input-output experimental data. These models have been
validated by R2 or best fitting criterion, root mean square error and
correlation analysis to determine the adequate model for representing
the EHA system. By using pole-placement method, this controller is
designed for the model chosen through simulation in Matlab-Simulink. The
results show that the model chosen which is applied with the proposed
controller is able to perform position tracking with high accuracy. |

Sathyanathan |
Abstract: |
Nowadays the automation has become a basic need for emerging
technologies. Motors are the nerves of many industries. Hence Industrial
automation is required for precise and accurate operation. This project
proposes a wireless control and monitoring system for various industrial
machines based on Zigbee communication protocol for safe and economic
data communication in industrial fields where the wired communication is
more expensive or impossible due to physical conditions. Sensor module
is used to monitor the parameters of any industrial machine and transmit
the data through Zigbee Protocol. In case of fault in the main machine,
the controller analyze the data from sensor and automatically sends
signal to the alarm circuit and relay circuit which switches to standby
machine and also monitors the parameters. ARM processor based system is
used for collecting and storing data and accordingly transmits the
information to the control room through computer interface and stores
the data periodically. A prototype and Simulink model is developed and
tested to verify the performance of this proposed system. |

A system to optimize glucose tests in the hospitals of
Huila department
in Colombia |
Author (s): |
Albeiro Cortes Cabezas and Jose de Jesus Salgado Patron |
Abstract: |
Nowadays many health centers in the world have robust hospital
information systems capable of storing and processing the collected data
of all type of variables associated to the different medical and
laboratory tests that are made to the users of the service. A hospital
information system enables the integrity and readability of patient
information to be guaranteed. In addition, it makes it possible for such
information to be available at the point of care where the patient is,
independently of the institution providing health services where it is
attended. Unfortunately, hospitals in Huila do not yet have an adequate
information system, so that old-fashioned, complex and unstructured
methods are used, such as handwriting the results of tests performed in
paper formats, which are then examined and analyzed by the attending
physician and then make the relevant decisions. In this project, an
information system was implemented to optimize the process of glucose
testing (glucometry) in hospitals in Huila to improve the organization
of data, making access much more comfortable. The HL7 standard set was
used as a guide for good interoperability and to make the system
scalable. Access can be made through a mobile application, which was
developed using Android Studio or through a website. The information
system allows access to the data of a specific patient and also has the
option of graphing them to observe the evolution of glucose levels over
time and thus provide the appropriate treatments for each case. |

Title: |
On the conversion of automotive engines for general aviation |
Author (s): |
Luca Piancastelli and Stefano Cassani |
Abstract: |
Automotive engines have outstanding quality controls and extremely high
cost-effectiveness. This is typical to lean, mass production. For this
reason, the application of these engines on aircraft is most appealing.
Ultralight-sport aircraft have pioneered this approach. A few
automotive-aircraft certified engines are already available on the
market. However, this approach has not been as successful as foresaw a
few years ago. This is due to the differences between the automotive
application and the aircraft use. These differences have lead to
teething problems that have been solved in almost 20 years of research
work. The level now reached and the experience achieved makes it
possible to convert any "successful" automotive engine into an aircraft
engine. This work starts with the description of the data available from
automotive manufacturers. Automotive engines have a huge background of
statistical data on performance, reliability and TBO (Time between
Overhaul). The correlation of these data to an aircraft application is
not straightforward. Then the performance curves obtainable from the new
aircraft engine are introduced. Finally, an algorithm calculates the
residual life to TBO (Time between Overhaul) of an automotive engine.
The method was tested on a few small last-generation CRDIDs (Common Rail
Direct Injection Diesels) and spark ignition (gasoline) engines. These
engines were also converted for use into small aircrafts with power
ranging from 60 to 200HP. This very simple method is implemented
directly in the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Control) or
E-ECU (Engine Electronic Control Unit) of the engine with very few lines
of C-Code (C-Language Code). It is assumed that the engine undergoes
regular maintenance schedule and OBD (On Board Diagnostic) is
implemented. OBD is perfectly able to foresee the imminent failure of
the accessories like the starting motor, the generator, the
turbocharger, the injector's, the HPP (High Pressure Pump), etc. These
parts are external to the engine and can be changed during field
maintenance. Accidents, like prolonged under/overcooling, crankshaft
damper failure, over speed are monitored by the OBD and require specific
maintenance actions. Ordinary problems like excessive fuel, lubricant,
coolant consumption, pressures out of range... are also dealt by the OBD-related
service system. |
