Solving optimal reactive power problem by improved variable mesh optimization algorithm
Get PDFIn this work Improved Variable Mesh Optimization Algorithm (IVM) has been applied to solve the optimal reactive power problem. Projected Improved VMO algorithm has been modeled by hybridization of Variable mesh optimization algorithm with Clearing-Based Niche Formation Technique, Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Mesh formation and exploration has been enhanced by the hybridization. Amongst of niche development process, clearing is a renowned method in which general denominator is the formation of steady subpopulations (niches) at all local optima (peaks) in the exploration space. In Differential Evolution (DE) population is formed by common sampling within the stipulated smallest amount and maximum bounds. Subsequently DE travel into the iteration process where the progressions like, mutation, crossover, and selection, are followed. Proposed Improved Variable Mesh Optimization Algorithm (IVM) has been tested in standard IEEE 14,300 bus test system and simulationresults show the projected algorithm reduced the real power loss extensively
Depth Estimation from Defocused Images: A Survey
Get PDFAn important step in 3D data generation is the generation of depth map. Depth map is a black and white image which has exactly the same size of the original captured 2D image that indicates the relative distance of each pixel from the observer to the objects in the real world. This paper presents a survey of Depth Perception from Defocused or blurs images as well as image from motion. The change of distance of the object from the camera has direct relation with the amount of blurring of object in the image. The amount of blurring will be calculated with a comparison in front of the camera directly and can be seen with the changes at gray level around the edges of objects
Mitigation of Selfish Node Attacks in Autoconfiguration of MANETs
Get PDFMobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile nodes connected by wireless links without using any pre-existent infrastructure. Hence the assigning of unique IP address to the incoming node becomes difficult. There are various dynamic auto configuration protocols available to assign IP address to the incoming nodes including grid based protocol which assigns IP address with less delay and low protocol overhead. Such protocols get affected by presence of either selfish nodes or malicious nodes. Moreover there is no centralized approach to defend against these threats like in wired network such as firewall, intrusion detection system, proxy etc. The selfish nodes are the nodes which receive packet destined to it and drop packet destined to other nodes in order to save its energy and resources. This behavior of nodes affects normal functioning of auto configuration protocol. Many algorithms are available to isolate selfish nodes but they do not deal with presence of false alarm and protocol overhead. And also there are certain algorithms which use complex formulae and tedious mathematical calculations. The proposed algorithm in this paper helps to overcome the attack of selfish nodes effect in an efficient and scalable address auto configuration protocol that automatically configures a network by assigning unique IP addresses to all nodes with a very low protocol overhead, minimal address acquisition delay and computational overhead
A Novel CAZAC Sequence Based Timing Synchronization Scheme for OFDM System
Get PDFSeveral classical timing synchronization schemes have been proposed for the timing synchronization in OFDM systems based on the correlation between identical parts of OFDM symbol. These schemes show poor performance due to the presence of plateau and significant side lobe. In this paper we present a timing synchronization schemes with timing metric based on a Constant Amplitude Zero Auto Correlation (CAZAC) sequence. The performance of the proposed timing synchronization scheme is better than the classical technique
Coding Schemes for Implementation of Fault Tolerant Parrallel Filter
Get PDFDigital filters are utilized as a one of flag handling and correspondence frameworks. At times, the unwavering quality of those frameworks is basic, and blame tolerant channel executions are needed. Throughout the years, numerous systems that endeavor the channels' structure and properties to accomplish adaptation to internal failure have been proposed. As innovation scales, it empowers more unpredictable frameworks that join many channels. In those perplexing frameworks, it is regular that a portion of the channels work in parallel. A plan in view of big rectification coding has been as of late proposed to protect parallel channels. In that plan, each channel is deal with as a bit, and excess channels that go about as equality check bits are acquainted with distinguish and rectify blunders. In this short, applying coding systems to secure parallel channels is tended to in a more broad manner. This decreases the assurance overhead and makes the quantity of excess channels autonomous of the quantity of parallel channels. The proposed technique is first described and then illustrated with two case studies. Finally, both the effectiveness in protecting against errors and the cost are evaluated for a field-programmable gate array implementation
Physical Properties and Compressive Strength of Zinc Oxide Nanopowder as a Potential Dental Amalgam Material
Get PDFIn this study, the application of nanotechnology was applied in the dentistry field, especially in the innovation of dental amalgam material. To date, mercury (Hg) has been used widely as dental amalgam material with consideration of the cheap price, ease of use, and good mechanical strength. However, last few years, many problems have been faced in the dentistry field due to the use of mercury.

Graph Based Workload Driven Partitioning System by using MongoDB
Get PDFThe web applications and websites of the enterprises are accessed by a huge number of users with the expectation of reliability and high availability. Social networking sites are generating the data exponentially large amount of data. It is a challenging task to store data efficiently. SQL and NoSQL are mostly used to store data. As RDBMS cannot handle the unstructured data and huge volume of data, so NoSQL is better choice for web applications. Graph database is one of the efficient ways to store data in NoSQL. Graph database allows us to store data in the form of relation. In Graph representation each tuple is represented by node and the relationship is represented by edge. But, to handle the exponentially growth of data into a single server might decrease the performance and increases the response time. Data partitioning is a good choice to maintain a moderate performance even the workload increases. There are many data partitioning techniques like Range, Hash and Round robin but they are not efficient for the small transactions that access a less number of tuples. NoSQL data stores provide scalability and availability by using various partitioning methods. To access the Scalability, Graph partitioning is an efficient way that can be easily represent and process that data. To balance the load data are partitioned horizontally and allocate data across the geographical available data stores. If the partitions are not formed properly result becomes expensive distributed transactions in terms of response time. So the partitioning of the tuple should be based on relation. In proposed system, Schism technique is used for partitioning the Graph. Schism is a workload aware graph partitioning technique. After partitioning the related tuples should come into a single partition. The individual node from the graph is mapped to the unique partition. The overall aim of Graph partitioning is to maintain nodes onto different distributed partition so that related data come onto the same cluster
