A Survey on Smart Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power Systems and Its Issues
No full textPhotovoltaic power generation refers to the use of solar photovoltaic cells to the solar radiation can be directly transformed into electricity generation. Distributed photovoltaic power generation, refers to the construction in the vicinity of the user\u27s location, the operation mode to the user side of spontaneous self-occupied mainly, the excess power on the Internet, and in the distribution system to balance the characteristics of the photovoltaic power generation facilities. Distributed photovoltaic power generation follow the principle of local conditions, clean and efficient, decentralized layout, the principle of the nearest use, and make full use of local solar energy resources, alternative and reduce fossil energy consumption. This paper aims to investigate and emphasize the importance of the grid-connected PV system. The investigation was conducted to critically review the literature on expected potential problems associated with issues of PV based grid system. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the basic understanding of photovoltaic (PV) based distributed generation power system and how these power flows will influence the performance and stability of a power system. Some of the PV grid integration issues such as voltage regulation, voltage sags, harmonic distortion, etc are also discussed and possible solutions are also mentioned
Design and Development of Sports Intimate Apparel - A Review
No full textIt is necessary to evaluate and analyze the brassiere design problems to alleviate theproblems in terms of fit, support, elastics and fastening. With an aim to achieve a perfectbrassiere, designers have a strong drive to develop a super quality brassiere with highperformance and proper usage of components and materials. The encapsulation brassiere wasmore effective than compression brassiere in controlling breast displacement. The mainproblems were shoulder straps digging into the shoulder and shoulder straps slipping off theshoulder. There are several design flaws associated with these sports brassiere which lead todiscomfort, pain and swelling of the breasts. Tightness around the chest may also cause beastsoreness. The straps are often very thin and cut into the shoulders of women. The mosteffective brassiere had a unique inverted-u shape bounded seam over the upper and sideboundaries of the cups with a wide cross-back design. Wicking materials are used in this typeof brassieres to give comfort and breast supporting pads having pad components to giveadequate support. The inner layer consists of silicone material which can increase theadherence capacity due to its high coefficient of friction. This review paper contains detailsabout the design and development of sports brassiere

A Study on Bandwidth-Aware Routing Protocol based on SIC
No full textWireless Sensor Networks has a greater advantage in today‘s communication application such as environmental, traffic, military, health monitoring. In such smart environments, people with smart devices (nodes) can freely self-organize and form self-configuring ad-hoc network to send and forward data packets to a destination over multiple hops via intermediate nodes. To achieve these applications it is necessary to have a reliable routing protocol. The main motivation of this paper is to review various routing schemes in ad-hoc network that have recently been proposed to enhance throughput when transmitting and receiving packets during active communication. The review also focuses on the design of SIC routing protocol aiming at achieving high overall throughput compared to that of the hop count routing. In addition, the performance evaluation metrics are also discussed
A Review on Speech Emotion Recognition
No full textEmotion recognition from Audio signal Recognition is a recent research topic in the Human Computer Interaction. The demand has risen for increasing communication interface between humans and digital media. Many researchers are working in order to improve their accuracy. But still there is lack of complete system which can recognize emotions from speech. In order to make the human and digital machine interaction more natural, the computer should able to recognize emotional states in the same way as human. The efficiency of emotion recognition system depends on type of features extracted and classifier used for detection of emotions. There are some fundamental emotions such as: Happy, Angry, Sad, Depressed, Bored, Anxiety, Fear and Nervous. These signals were preprocessed and analyzed using various techniques. In feature extraction various parameters used to form a feature vector are: fundamental frequency, pitch contour, formants, duration (pause length ratio) etc. These features are further classified into different emotions. This research work is the study of speech emotion classification addressing three important aspects of the design of a speech emotion recognition system. The first one is the choice of suitable features for speech representation. The second issue is the design of an appropriate classification scheme and the third issue is the proper preparation of an emotional speech database for evaluating system performanc
Mouth Breathing During Exercise May Lead To many Health Deseases
No full textOne of the most basic requirements for an effective exercise session is better oxygenation of yourmuscular tissues and organs. You can actually find out how well your tissues are being oxygenated byhow you emit.While breathing is a fundamental natural function of human beings, it can be negatively influenced bymany components of modern living such as accent, sitting at a desk all day, and excessive talking. In fact,about 80 percent of the Western population breathes incorrectly.Nasal breathing has a number of physiological advantages for your health and your fitness. The amount ofbenefit you derive from your exercise efforts is largely manipulated by your breathing habits, which standupon your performance, endurance, post-exercise energy levels, and even your ability to metabolize fat.Most people overbreathe – in other words, they chronically hyperventilate. Distinctive characteristics ofoverbreathing include mouth breathing, upper chest breathing, sighing, noticeable breathing during sleep,and taking large breaths prior to the oral presentation. Overbreathing during exercise can cause a numberof harmful effects. The means to forbid this, is to "retrain" your nose to do the job it was designed toanswer

Indian Society With Sports & Physical Education
No full textPhysical Education & Sports forms an important part of educational system even then it never received the importance it deserves. Even though it is included as part of the curriculum from the early stages of education, it has never been taken seriously by the educational administrators, the academicians and the students. Physical Education is the only profession where you talk as well as play / perform. The concept of Physical Education in the mind of the general public is big, round, just play and no work. Abraham Lincoln quoted in one of his addresses, “Sportsman is the best Ambassador of the Nation.” Hence, the Physical Education Director/Teacher can also be the best Ambassador of our Institution / University. Compared to earlier years, we can find decline of physical education in education. One needs to overcome the hurdles and battles to improve the structure and infrastructure status for developing the overall discipline in physical education and sports
A Dog\u27s Breakfast of Champions This Twenty20 Tournament Will Be Fun, but Standards Are Questionable
No full textSoccer\u27s UEFA Champions League is the world\u27s foremost competition for professional clubs.In field hockey, the FIH Champions Trophy is the international game\u27s premier annualtournament.But when it comes to cricket, it seems that every tournament with "Champions" in its title isdestined to be devalued, disparaged and generally to suffer from a serious credibility deficit.For appetizers, there\u27s the ICC Champions Trophy, whose greatest problem is irrelevance: Thisalways-the-bridesmaid tournament styled itself as a mini World Cup, but has never seized theimagination of participants or fans amid the glut of international fixtures. It is to be shelved in2013.And so there\u27s the Champions League Twenty20, which began Tuesday in South Africa. Itstroubles are more systemic—this is a tournament that was fated from the start to be undercut byits own format and conventions
