  • Abstract:

    Manual method of sorting out for result and computing it has posed a big problem to exams unit in ChukwuemekaOdumegwuOjukwu University (COOU), In Anambra State, Nigeria. During computation of results, the exam officers collect paper results from the department and either calculate them on papers or enter them on a computer for computation. Either of them is hard work and time wasting. Hence we propose a change and retrieval agent in computing results in ChukwuemekaOdumegwuOjukwu University, Uli. Since the University already has an existing website, we require a new format for uploading results to the website using Microsoft excel witheight (8) specific columns namely: names of students, registration numbers, continuous assignment, examination score, total score, grade and remarks done by course lecturers............

  • Assessment of the Dependence of Renewable Penetration Level in a Weakly Connected System on Available Control and Defence Systems
    Emanuele Ciapessoni, Diego Cirio, Antonio Gatti, Andrea Pitto
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    The integration of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources (RES) poses serious challenges to power system planning and operation. At system level, a major issue regards the short and long-term frequency stability due to the reduction of regulating reserve margins, in turn brought about by the displacement of conventional generation and lack of contribution by the RES. This problem is especially present in isolated or weakly connected systems, and may become the limiting factor for renewable penetration..........

  • Management of Drilling Cuttings in Term of Volume and Economics in Oil Field
    Dr. Biltayib.M, Eng. Mufazzal. S. Kabuli, Dania issa, Norah Ayyadand, Daliris Ramires
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    The process of drilling oil and gas wells generates large volumes of drill cuttings and spent muds. The American Petroleum Institute estimated that about 150 million barrels of drilling waste was generated yearly from onshore wells in the United States alone. Of the total drilling waste, approximately 50% is solid drilling waste. The biggest contributors of drilling wastes are drilling cuttings and mud. Reducing the drilling fluids not only it reduces the waste volume, but it also reduces the environmental effects associated with it. The main purpose of drilling waste management is to find to ways by which the generation of waste can be controlled to minimize or eliminate its negative impact on the environment. Minimizing waste is always the priority, however, it not always the most cost-effective solution. The objective of this report is to provide study in, the economics of management of drilling cuttings is explored in a case from West Kuwait

  • High- Throughput CAM Based On Search and Shift Mechanism
    Anagha Krishna N.V, Aparna K.C
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    This paper introduces a search and shift mechanism for high throughput content-addressable memory(CAM). A CAM is a memory unit that process single clock cycle content matching instead of addresses using well dedicated comparison circuitry. Most mismatches can be found by searching a few bits of a search word. The most critical design challenge in CAM is to reduce power consumption associated with reduced area and increased speed. To lower power dissipation, a word circuit is often divided into two sections that are sequentially searched or even pipelined. Because of this process, most of match lines in the second section are unused.............

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of ohmic heating and ultrasound on quality parameters of red grapefruit juice (Citrus paradisi). The juice was processed by ohmic heating (120 V, 70 and 80 °C, 30 and 180 s) and ultrasound (amplitude of 40 and 50 μm, and 2 and 10 minutes). The treatments did not significantly affect the cloud value, pH, non-enzymatic browning and colorimetric parameters. The taste was the determining parameter in the choice of juice by consumers. Juices processed with ohmic heating showed sensory characteristics more like the natural juice. The best juice was obtenied by processing with OH at 70 °C for 30 s. According to the present study it could be suggested that red grapefruit juice processed by ohmic heating could improve sensory characteristics without changes in quality parameter.

  • Plasma-Maser Instability of the Electromagnetic Radiation In The Presence Of Electrostatic Drift Wave Turbulence in Inhomogeneous Plasma
    Mahinder Singh
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    The generation mechanism of the electromagnetic radiation in case of inhomogeneous plasma on the basis of plasma-maser interaction in presence of drift wave turbulence is studied. The drift wave turbulence is taken as the low-frequency mode field and is found to be strongly in phase relation with thermal particles and may transfer its wave energy nonlinearly through a modulated field of high-frequency extraordinary mode (X-mode) wave. It has been found that amplification of X-mode wave is possible at the expense of drift wave turbulent energy. This type of high-frequency instability can leads to auroral kilometric radiation (AKR). The growth rate of the X-mode wave, in the form of AKR, has been calculated with the involvement of spatial density gradient parameter. This result may be particularly important for stability of various drift modes in magnetically confined plasma as well as for transport of momentum and energy in such inhomogeneous plasma.

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Rice husks fibre reinforced polypropylene composite (rhfrpc) is a natural plant fibre reinforced polymer composite having advantages of high strength, light weight and affordability. They are commonly used for light load structural and non structural applications. They are mainly used as particle boards, for fencing post, roofing tiles, for interiors of car and aircrafts among other usages. This material once cracked by impact forces cannot be repaired using traditional repair methods for engineering materials such as metals or other composites that can be repaired by welding or by patch repair methods respectively, thus a method of repair of rice husks fibre reinforced polypropylene composites by refilling the damaged volume by injection of various healing agents has been investigated. The composite coupons were produced by injection moulding, cooled sufficiently and prepared for charpy impact tests. Test results for pristine coupons were a maximum of 48 J/mm2.......

    Petroleum refineries have many process units that consume hydrogen.These process units are distributed in different places everywhere in the refinery.In order to feed them, it is necessary to have sources capable of supplying, in amount and quality, the hydrogen that every consuming unit needs.It is also needed to have a distribution network that it is correctly designed and which operation is adjusted in an optimal manner to the changing conditions of the refinery.This involves the minimization of the cost of installation and operation of the hydrogen network.The installation cost is dominated by the amount of pipelines, compressors and purifying units; while the cost of operation is dominated by the amount of fresh hydrogen that the plant consumes.In this work a mathematical model is developed for a hydrogen network,which is adapted to the different information levels available in the different stages of design of that system.The model is currently in use in the YPFLuján de Cuyo refinery (Mendoza, Argentina). In this first part, the basic model is presented; whereas in a second part, the model is enlarged to accommodate the incorporation of purifying units and new compressors.

  • Energy Efficient Bit Extension Type Accelerator Chip for Detection Algorithms
    Aparna.M.P, Punitha.V
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    This paper presents an energy efficient bit extension type accelerator chip that targets decoding tasks of MIMO(Multiple input multiple output) - orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The work is motivated by the adoption of MIMO and OFDM by almost all existing and emerging high-speed wireless data communication systems. MIMO is an antenna technology for wireless communications in which multiple antennas are used at both the source (transmitter) and the destination (receiver). MIMO decoder or sometimes called MIMO equalizer detects or decodes or recovers the transmitted signals from multiple antennas. MIMO decoding process for a certain application is hard and time consuming. This motivates the need for a programmable accelerator block to implement the MIMO decoder task as fast and easy application.

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Since its genesis, Pinch Analysis is continuously evolving and its application is widening, reaching new horizons. The original concept of pinch approach was quite clear and, because of flexibility of this approach, innumerable applications have been developed in the industry. Consequently, a designer gets thoroughly muddled among these flexibilities. Hence, there was a need for a rigorous and robust model which could guide the optimisation engineer on deciding the applicability of the pinch approach and direct sequential step of procedure in predefined workflow, so that the precision of approach is ensured. Exploring the various options of a novice hands-on algorithm development that can be coded and interfaced with GUI and keeping in mind the difficulties faced by designers, an effort was made to formulate a new algorithm for the optimisation activity...........

  • Preparation of Firefighting Hood for Cooling for Phase Change Materials
    Shu Hwa Lin, Lynn M Boorady, CP Chang
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    There are two types of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) which have been developed and adopted in textiles: heat (energy released) and cool (energy absorbed). This paper discusses current PCM applications and explores future applications in firefighting gear. Phase change materials are considered latent heat storage units because as they change phase from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and vice versa, energy in the form of heat is absorbed or released. The goal of PCM textiles is to create reusable energy to maintain body temperature, as well as to optimize the performance of protective wear such as hoods. When the wearer's body temperature increases or decreases, the PCMs applied to the fabric will change state helping to regulate the wearer's body temperature by providing warmth or cooling. Maintaining a stable body temperature can improve working conditions and comfort..

  • Abstract:

    Integration of Cryogenic Treatment and Cryogenic Cooling with EDM process results in a newer process called as the Cryogenically Assisted Electric Discharge Machining (CEDM) process. It is one of very recent developments for the enhancement of process capabilities of EDM. In this technique, either the tool or the workpiece, or tool and workpiece both, may be, cryogenically treated down to sub zero temperatures or the EDM tool is cryogenically cooled with an objective to modify their properties. The modifications in properties result in the reduction of tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR) and to increase material removal rate (MRR). An experimental set up for both the variants of CEDM has been discussed in the presented paper.

  • Abstract:

    Given the fact that loudspeakers have several nonlinearities during operation, one of the biggest challenges when designing systems for audio transmission is to ensure that the input signal will be properly reproduced, free of noise and free of spurious frequencies. This paper presents a model that incorporates the main nonlinearities of a loudspeaker in order to provide reliable results for the sound system design in low frequencies. The proposed model considers an acoustic system and also an electrical system that, coupled, represent the functioning of a general loudspeaker. The acoustic system is solved by the Finite Element Method. The electrical system is divided into two parts, one representing the electrical elements of the loudspeaker, and other representing the mechanical part of it.

    In Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) outlines, Carry Select Adder (CSLA) is one of the quickest adder utilized as a part of numerous data processing processors to perform quick number crunching capacities. In this paper we proposed the design of SQRT CSLA using parity preserving reversible gate (P2RG). Reversible logic is emerging field in today VLSI design. In conventional circuits, the logic gates such as AND gate, OR gate is irreversible in nature and computing with irreversible logic results in energy dissipation. This problem can be circumvented by using reversible logic. In ideal condition, the reversible logic gate produces zero power dissipation. The proposed design is efficient in terms of delay as compare to irreversible SQRT CSLA. The simulation is done using Xilinx.

  • Abstract:

    Multimedia applications are becoming increasingly significant in modern world. The mushroom growth of multimedia data of these applications, particularly over the web has increased the demand for protection of copyright. Digital watermarking is much more acceptable as a solution to the problem of copyright protection and authentication of multimedia data while working in a networked environment. In this paper, a DWT based watermarking scheme is proposed. We have used Genetic Algorithm (GA) in order to make an optimum tradeoff between imperceptibility and robustness by choosing an optimum watermarking level for each coefficient of the cover image. In addition to the suitable watermarking strength, the selection of best block size is also necessary for superior perceptual shaping functions.......

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    In the open access restructured power system market, it is necessary to develop an appropriate pricing scheme that can provide the useful economic information to market participants, such as generation, transmission companies and customers. Though many methods have already been proposed, but accurately estimating and allocating the transmission cost in the transmission pricing scheme is still a challenging task. This work addresses the problem of allocating the cost of the transmission network to generators and demands. In this work four methods using DC Power flow and AC power flow have been attempted. They are MW-Mile Method, MVA-Mile Method, GGDF method and Bialek Tracing method..

  • Abstract:

    Now a day's in RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) structure as an open first storey is generally provided for social and functional need in multistory building. They are used for parking, communicaton halls, intercourse hall or any other purposes. In RCC framed multistory building the walls are not considered as a part of structures, but from recent studies it shows that partition wall by using different infill materials helps to improve the strength of building against lateral load. An infill material provides stiffness to the RCC framed structures. Soft storey at different levels of multistory building is constructed. Investigations of past and recent earthquake damage have illustrated that the building structures are severe damage or collapse during moderate to strong ground motion. In this paper reviews various research works carried out by several researchers on seismic behavior of multi-storied buildings provided with different infill materials with soft storey..

    The objective of the electric utility is to deliver sinusoidal voltage at fairly constant magnitude throughout their system. This objective is complicated by the fact that there are loads on the system that produce harmonic currents. These currents result in distorted voltages and currents that can adversely impact the system performance in different ways. As the number of harmonic producing loads has increased over the years, it has become increasingly necessary to address their influence when making any additions or changes to an Installation............

  • Abstract:

    Reinforced Concrete is composed of concrete and steel, where compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel are utilized to achieve the required member strength. The high tensile property of steel is thus used to confine and increase compressive strength and ductility of RC columns. Confined concrete is defined as concrete that is restrained laterally by any internal or external means i.e. reinforcement consisting of steel stirrups or spirals, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP), Circular Concrete Filled Steel Tube, RC shell jacketing etc. An appropriate amount of confinement increases the strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of RC members. This paper focuses on finding out strength and ductility enhancement of low strength RC columns by reinforcement using existing confinement models...

  • Abstract:

    The optimal digital autopilot needed to control of the roll for an aircraft in the presence of an arbitrary unmeasured disturbances is addressed in this paper. Such autopilot has to achieve a desired lateral motion control of this aircraft via minimizing the upper bound on the absolute value of the difference between the given and true roll angles. It is ensured by means of the two digital controllers. The inner controller is designed as the discrete-time PI controller in order to stabilize a given roll rate. This variable is formed by the external P controller. The necessary and sufficient conditions under which the two-circuit feedback discrete-time control system will be stable are derived. To optimize this control system, the controller parameters are derived utilizing the so-called l1-optimization approach advanced in modern control theory....

  • Impediments to the Successful Utilization of Pakistan's Coal Resources
    Asghar, Zeeshan, Oshokoya, Praise Oluwatomisin
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Pakistan is endowed with a vast variety of minerals including coal. However, despite its significant amount of coal deposits of about 186billion tons, no significant contribution to the country's GDPhas been realized from this resource. Also, in the face of the possession of this 'richness' in coal deposits, the country is still facing acute shortage of electricity, which wipes off about 2% of GDP annually. The current deposits of coal can give Pakistan its much needed social and economic boost. Unfortunately, Pakistan has not been able to utilize its Thar coal potential fully since its discovery in 1992, for instance, due to policy issues and other concerns. This paper investigates the current markets, trends and utilization modes for Pakistan's coal with reference to the reasons for failure of the Thar coal project as well as opportunities available for Pakistan, going forward.

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Earthquakes create vibrations on the ground that are translated into dynamic loads which cause the ground and anything attached to it to vibrate in a complex manner and cause damage to buildings and other structures. Civil engineering is continuously improving ways to cope with this inherent phenomenon. Conventional strategies of strengthening the system consume more materials and energy. Moreover, higher masses lead to higher seismic forces. Alternative strategies such as passive control systems are found to be effective in reducing the seismic and other dynamic effects on civil engineering structures.......

  • Tutorial - Speech Synthesis System
    Sangramsing Kayte, Siddharth Dabhade
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Speech synthesis we can, in theory, mean any kind of synthetization of speech. For example, it can be the process in which a speech decoder generates the speech signal based on the parameters it has received through the transmission line, or it can be a procedure performed by a computer to estimate some kind of a presentation of the speech signal given a text input. Since there is a special course about the codecs (Puheen koodaus, Speech Coding), this chapter will concentrate on text-to-speech synthesis, or shortly TTS, which will be often referred to as speech synthesis to simplify the notation. Anyway, it is good to keep in mind that irrespective of what kind of synthesis we are dealing with, there are similar criteria in regard to the speech quality. We will return to this topic after a brief TTS motivation, and the rest of this chapter will be dedicated to the implementation point of view in TTS systems.............

    Now a day's accidents due to brake failure are increasing in a high margin, so safety has acquired a greater priority. In order to control this sudden brake failures we have modified the conventional braking systems in automobiles by adding an extra safety brake to the engine shaft. The idea of the work is to improve the safety parameters regarding the brakes. Engagement of the secondary brake without the assistance of driver is an advantage for this system. As it would make the vehicle to stop without any lag. A Hall effect sensor is used to detect the motion of wheel by noting the magnetic field. The signals given out from the sensor directs the microcontroller to operate the relay and hence to actuate the solenoid and thereby actuating the secondary brake

  • An Approach for Image Steganography Based on Huffman Encoding
    Monalisa Samal, Suman Tripathy
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Image steganography is the art of hiding information into a cover image. This paper presents a novel technique for Image steganography based on DWT, where DWT is used to transform original image (cover image) from spatial domain to frequency domain. Firstly two dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform (2-D DWT) is performed on a gray level cover image of size M × N and Huffman encoding is performed on the secret messages/image before embedding. Then each bit of Huffman code of secret message/image is embedded in the high frequency coefficients resulted from Discrete Wavelet Transform. Image quality is to be improved by preserving the wavelet coefficients in the low frequency sub-band. The experimental results show that the algorithm has a high capacity and a good invisibility. Moreover PSNR of cover image with stego-image shows the better results in comparison with other existing steganography approaches. Furthermore, satisfactory security is maintained since the secret message/image cannot be extracted without knowing decoding rules and Huffman table.
