An Improved Crow Search Algorithm for Data Clustering
No full textMetaheuristic algorithms are often trapped in local optimum solutions when searching for solutions. This problem often occurs in optimization cases involving high dimensions such as data clustering. Imbalance of the exploration and exploitation process is the cause of this condition because search agents are not able to reach the best solution in the search space. In this study, the problem is overcome by modifying the solution update mechanism so that a search agent not only follows another randomly chosen search agent, but also has the opportunity to follow the best search agent. In addition, the balance of exploration and exploitation is also enhanced by the mechanism of updating the awareness probability of each search agent in accordance with their respective abilities in searching for solutions. The improve mechanism makes the proposed algorithm obtain pretty good solutions with smaller computational time compared to Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization. In large datasets, it is proven that the proposed algorithm is able to provide the best solution among the other algorithms

Energy Efficiency Optimization for Intermediate Node Selection Using MhSA-LEACH: Multi-hop Simulated Annealing in Wireless Sensor Network
No full textEnergy usage on nodes is still a hot topic among researchers on wireless sensor networks. This is due to the increasing technological development increasing information requirements and caused the occurrence of information exchange continuously without stopping and impact the decline of lifetime nodes. It takes more effort to manually change the energy source on nodes in the wireless sensor network. The solution to such problems is to use routing protocols such as Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH). The LEACH protocol works by grouping nodes and selecting the Cluster Head (CH) in charge of delivering data to the Base Station (BS). One of the disadvantage LEACH protocols, when nodes are far from the CH, will require a lot of energy for sending data to CH. One way to reduce the energy consumption of each node-far is to use multi-hop communication. In this research, we propose a multi-hop simulated annealing (MhSA-LEACH) with an algorithm developed from the LEACH protocol based on intra-cluster multi-hop communication. The selection of intermediate nodes in multi-hop protocol is done using Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm on Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Therefore, the multi-hop nodes are selected based on the shortest distance and can only be skipped once by utilizing the probability theory, resulting in a more optimal node path. The proposed algorithm has been compared to the conventional LEACH protocol and the Multi-Hop Advance Heterogeneity-aware Energy Efficient (MAHEE) clustering algorithm using OMNeT++. The test results show the optimization of MhSA-LEACH on the number of packets received by BS or CH and the number of dead or alive nodes from LEACH and MAHEE protocols
A Study of Chip Formation on Turning with Minimum Quantity Lubrication Method (MQL)
No full textThe cutting fluid is one of the essential factors in machining to increase machinability. The issuance of ISO 14000 about reducing the use of cutting fluid for its danger for operator and environment has encouraged many researchers to find ways to minimize its use. The Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is an answer to it. To further reduce the use of cutting fluid, a device that complies with MQL criteria for controlling the spray based on the tool temperature has successfully designed. This paper is discussing the effect of applying this device to the chips formation. The experiments were on turning of AISI 4340 using carbide tools. The Taguchi method L9 used to design the experiments. The variations made on the method of applying the cutting fluid, depth of cut, and cutting fluid composition. The chips formation was calculated based on the value of the degree of serration. Analysis of the S/N ratio, followed by ANOVA, revealed that the cutting fluids application method is the least factor affecting the chips formation. In contrast, the depth of cut influences the chips formation by 75 per cent more. The highest degree of serration achieved when applying the combination of depth of cut of 1.8 mm, the composition of 5:5, and flood method of applying cutting fluid
Implementation of Oxymetry Sensors for Cardiovascular Load Monitoring When Physical Exercise
No full textThe performance condition of an athlete must always be maintained, one way to maintain that performance is by training. Each individual has different abilities and physiological responses in receiving the portion of the exercise. Physical exercise that exceeds the body's ability can worsen the condition of the athlete itself which can result in excessive fatigue (overtraining) or can even result in injury. Therefore a system is needed to monitor the condition of the physiological response when given the intensity of the training load so that the portion of the training provided provides positive benefits for the athlete. This system was developed using an oxymetry sensor, microcontroller and wifi module ESP8266. This system is used to collect heart rate and oxygen saturation data, then with the existing formula the heart rate value is converted to a CVL (Cardiovascular Load) value to determine the level of fatigue in athletes when given the intensity of the training load. By using a web-based application, measurement data is displayed in realtime to make it easier to see the results of monitoring. From the experimental results the system can monitor changes in the physiological condition of the athlete when given the intensity of the training load. Finally, the developed system can collect athlete's physiological data, and can store the data in a database and display it in a web application
A New MATLAB GUI Tool for Instructing Operation of Power Electronic Rectifiers
No full textThis study seeks to present an interactive tool, which exploits the GUI related abilities in MATLAB, to investigate power electronic rectifiers operation. The present paper aims to show a flexible and extendable environment for steady state simulation of ideal controlled, uncontrolled, single-phase and three-phase power electronic rectifiers. This is accomplished at the presence of R, L and E loads with or without a flywheel diode. The easy application of our tool makes it feasible to be used by the teacher in the classroom. Also its short running time and the PSpice output netlist make it a remarkable alternative to the MATLAB PowerSim toolbox and PSIM software for studying ac-dc converters. Furthermore, in this paper some basic equations were introduced to analyze single and three-phase rectifiers. Because these equations are common between ac-dc converters, analyzing the different types of rectifiers will be easy for the students.
The penultimate issue refers that, the proposed program can cause a variety of single and three phase controlled rectifiers accompanied by various combinations of R, L and E loads to be simulated. Ultimately, obtained results are compared to another well-known simulator’s such as PSpice to verify their accuracy
Cluster-Based News Representative Generation with Automatic Incremental Clustering
No full textNowadays, a large volume of news circulates around the Internet in one day, amounting to more than two thousand news. However, some of these news have the same topic and content, trapping readers among different sources of news that say similar things. This research proposes a new approach to provide a representative news automatically through the Automatic Incremental Clustering method. This method began with the Data Acquisition process, Keyword Extraction, and Metadata Aggregation to produce a news metadata matrix. The news metadata matrix consisted of types of word in the column and news section of each line. Furthermore, the news on the matrix were grouped by the Automatic Incremental Clustering method based on the number of word similarities that arised, calculated using the Euclidean Distance approach, and was done automatically and real-time. Each cluster (topic) determined one representing news as a Representative News based on the location of the news closest to the midpoint/centroid on the cluster. This study used 101 news as experimental data and produced 87 news clusters with 85.14% precision ratio
Wavelet Based Fault Detection and Classification Algorithm for a Real Distribution Feeder
No full textAs the importance of protection in power systems increase, knowing the type of malfunction occurring in the system has become crucial. Especially in the distribution system where electricity is delivered to the consumer, detecting the right fault type with a short amount of time is important. For this purpose in this study, Akyazı-Düzköy distribution feeder in Trabzon province, where faults commonly occur, is modeled with Digsilent Powerfactory. The model is performed with actual parameters including 465 lines, 243 loads, 233 transformers and 1093 busbars. First, the load flow and short circuit analysis have been carried out for the validation of the model. Then a fault detection and classification algorithm is enhanced using the wavelet transform and the energy of the coefficients. Different types of short circuit faults are created at different points on the model to test the accuracy of the algorithm. The fault inception time and the effect of the fault resistance are also investigated
Design and Implementation of Embedded Water Quality Control and Monitoring System for Indoor Shrimp Cultivation
No full textMaintaining the water quality of a pond is one of the main issues on aquaculture management. Water quality represents the condition of a pond based on several water parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pH, and salinity. All of these parameters need to be strictly supervised since it affects the life-sustainability of cultivated organisms. However, DO is said to be the main parameter since it affects the growth and survival rate of the shrimp. Therefore, a water quality control and monitoring system is needed to maintain water parameters at acceptable value. The system is developed on a mini-PC and microcontroller which are integrated with several sensors and actuator forming an embedded system. Then, this system is used to collect water quality data that is consisting of several water parameters and control the DO as the main parameter. In accordance with the stability needs against the sensitive environment, a fuzzy logic-based controller is developed to maintain the DO rate in the water. This system is also equipped with SIM800 module to notice the farmer by SMS, built-in wifi module for web-based data logging, and improved with Android-based graphical user interface (GUI) to perform user-friendly monitoring. From the experiment results, a fuzzy controller that is attached to the system can control the DO at the acceptable value of 6 ppm. The controller is said to have high robustness since its deviation for long-time use is only 0.12 ppm. Another test shows that the controller is able to overcome the given disturbance and easily adapt when the DO’s set point is changed.  Finally, the system is able to collect and store the data into cloud storage periodically and show the data on a website
Content-Dependent Image Search System for Aggregation of Color, Shape and Texture Features
No full textThe existing image search system often faces difficulty to find a appropriate retrieved image corresponding to an image query. The difficulty is commonly caused by that the users’ intention for searching image is different with dominant information of the image collected from feature extraction. In this paper we present a new approach for content-dependent image search system. The system utilizes information of color distribution inside an image and detects a cloud of clustered colors as something - supposed as an object. We applies segmentation of image as content-dependent process before feature extraction in order to identify is there any object or not inside an image. The system extracts 3 features, which are color, shape, and texture features and aggregates these features for similarity measurement between an image query and image database. HSV histogram color is used to extract color feature of image. While the shape feature extraction used Connected Component Labeling (CCL) which is calculated the area value, equivalent diameter, extent, convex hull, solidity, eccentricity, and perimeter of each object. The texture feature extraction used Leung Malik (LM)’s approach with 15 kernels. For applicability of our proposed system, we applied the system with benchmark 1000 image SIMPLIcity dataset consisting of 10 categories namely Africans, beaches, buildings historians, buses, dinosaurs, elephants, roses, horses, mountains, and food. The experimental results performed 62% accuracy rate to detect objects by color feature, 71% by texture feature, 60% by shape feature, 72% by combined color-texture feature, 67% by combined color-shape feature, 72 % combined texture-shape features and 73% combined all features
