An Intelligent Speed Control of Brushless SEDC Motor by using PID, Fuzzy Logic Controller and Neuro- Fuzzy Logic Controller[Full-Text ] R.C.Chourasia, Dr. A.K. BhardwajIn modern era, there are not less than six billion motors built in worldwide every year. The Brushless separately excited DC motors are an integral part of industrial plants. In industrial application the demand of BLSEDC motors for low-cost and good quality have increased. The electric appliances, electric aircraft and electric trains have continuous demand growing for automotive industry. The many researchers have proposed different control method for advancing DC motor. Using conventional methods we cannot derive or control multi-variable and non-linear system. In this paper, we proposed BLSEDCM (Brushless Separately Excited DC Motor) using conventional PID controller, Fuzzy Logic controller and Neuro-fuzzy logic controller technique. The proposed methodology gave low-cost excellent flexibility, good robustness, adaptability and also gave high precision to the system. The speed estimator Neuro-fuzzy controller shows that the speed is very closed to desired speed over transient operating conditions and large operating range.

Retrofitting Process of an Existing Building With Respect To Seismic Consideration in Bangladesh[Full-Text ] Munshi Md Rasel, Md Asif Rahman, Ayesha Binta Ali, Md Moinul Islam, Dr. Md Mahmudur RahmanThere might be many buildings in Bangladesh which do not meet the current seismic requirement and as a result may suffer much damage during the earthquake. Especially the older buildings which were constructed without the consideration of proper seismic forces should be evaluated for seismic load and retrofitted accordingly. If remedial measures are taken based on seismic evaluation, much damage can be overcome. The objective of the research here is to evaluate the existing building for earthquake performance. For applying earthquake loads, Equivalent Static Force Method is used according to BNBC 1993. Reinforcement details of the considered building were not available. For the purpose of study, in the first step an analysis is done applying only Dead and Live Loads according to BNBC 1993. The building is then designed for Dead Load and Live Load only without the consideration of seismic load. In the second step, the building is analyzed for seismic loading in addition to Dead Load and Live Load with proper load factor. Three dimensional analyses is done using design software STAAD-Pro. The Demand Capacity Ratio (DCR) is carried out for beams and columns in order to evaluate the member for seismic loads. Then retrofitting is carried out for the failed beams and columns. Steel Plating Retrofitting Method is applied for the beams and Concrete Jacketing Retrofitting Method is applied for the columns. It is recommended from this study that the buildings which were not built with seismic consideration can be evaluated and retrofitted following the research presented in this study.

Object-Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks with A novel Energy Efficient Algorithm[Full-Text ] Majed Elbishti, Khaled Elleithy, Laiali AlmazaydehIn this paper we propose and simulate an energy efficient protocol for object-tracking over Wireless Sensor Networks. The proposed algorithm aims to use virtual clustering among the observation region to initiate duty-cycle across the border nodes and the nodes in the inside region. The main idea is to keep the outer nodes active and the interior nodes sleep for energy saving until an object is detected by the outer nodes. Castalia 3.2 wireless sensor network simulator is used to simulate the proposed protocol. Results indicate that an improvement of 42% is achieved in terms of energy consumption. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that S-MAC protocol is a better choice in high load traffic applications in terms of energy consumption.

An efficient method of segmentation for handwritten devnagari word recognition[Full-Text ] Saniya M.Ansari, Dr. Udaysingh Sutar Devnagari is the most popular and widely used script in India. It is used for writing Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit and Nepali languages. Moreover, Devnagari script consists of vowels, consonants and various modifiers. Detection and extraction of text in images have been used in many applications. Document segmentation is one of the difficult and important phases in machine recognition of any language. The accuracy of character recognition engine depends on the correct segmentation of individual symbols. It is used to segment lines and words into sequence of characters into sub images of individual symbols. Hence proper segmentation of Devnagari word is challenging task. Especially the modifiers (both vowels and consonants) most of the time coincide with the modifying characters. These kinds of non-trivial combinations of characters make the whole process of character segmentation extremely challenging. Besides, some symbols, like Chandra- Bindu, often come between two consecutive characters in a word; then isolating those becomes a tough job.

Control Strategy for Total Harmonic Distortion Reduction in Generated Voltage for Grid Connected DFIG under Symmetrical & Unsymmetrical Fault Conditions[Full-Text ] Sarika Shrivastava, Anurag Tripathi and K.S. VermaVariable-speed DFIG wind energy system is one of the main WECS configurations in today’s wind power industry. The variable-speed operation is possible due to the power electronic converters interface allowing a full (or partial) decoupling from the grid. For a DFIG based wind energy system, the rotor-side converter (RSC) controls the torque and active/ reactive power of the generator while the grid-side converter (GSC) controls the DC-link voltage and its AC-side reactive power. The stability of DC link capacitor voltage is very important in ensuring that a nearly sinusoidal voltage is delivered by the grid side converter which is used as inverter. The fluctuations in the dc-link voltage cut down the lifetime and reliability of capacitors in voltage source converters. The present paper explores one of the extremely important issues regarding the WECS i.e. wind energy conversion system and its reactive power management under certain common types of faults which are both symmetrical and unsymmetrical. With continuously increasing penetration of the wind energy in the overall energy market, this issue is gaining significant prominence. The paper compares the capability of the DFIG based wind energy conversion system to maintain the value of its DC-link capacitor constant. The analysis was performed for normal, symmetrical fault and unsymmetrical fault conditions on DFIG integrated with grid using MATLAB/ SIMULINK.

Dynamic Log Session Identification Using A Novel Incremental Learning Approach For Database Trace Logs[Full-Text ] D.Kavitha, B.KalpanaIdentification of session is very significant task in database for determining helpful patterns from database trace logs files. In recent years, several number of work have been done to dynamic log session identification among them n-gram models is recently proposed, which produces higher log session identification results. But the major issue of the n-gram model is that it assumes the entire database query to be static, so dynamic query type is not applicable. In this paper, a novel online incremental learning for dynamic log data trace session identification schema based on the adaptation method to database trace logs is proposed. It is applied for dynamic log session identification with automatic selection of threshold based on the standard deviation schema, so it is named as DS-OILSD. The proposed novel DS-OILSD schema is varied from normal n-gram model since the proposed work consists of two major modifications. The first one is to solve the parameters adjustment problem of the IL in online and offline manner incrementally. The second one is used to dynamic management of query types and allocating initial probabilities to the n-grams models. The proposed DS-OILSD leaning method is based on modified MAP estimation schema for dynamic changing adaptation of the query types and is instinctively reasonable. It directly solves the problem of dynamic log session identification, in which three types of learning are performed such as labeled data, semi-labeled, unlabeled data for various categories of training data. Finally experimental work is conducted to proposed and existing state of art schema for dynamic log session identification and experimentation results are evaluated based on the parameters like, F-measure, and precision for clinic database log files.

DETERMINATION OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF LATERITIC SANDCRETE CUBES[Full-Text ] Ibearugbulem, O. M., Okonkwo, E. N. Nwachukwu, A. N. and Obi, L. O.This paper presents the determination of compressive strength of lateritic sandcrete cubes. In the course of the study we investigated the suitability of laterite as a partial replacement of sand, and specifically sought to determine whether lateritic sandcrete cubes would satisfy the minimum compressive strength requirement of Nigeria Industrial Standard for load bearing blocks for use in sandcrete blocks. This strength is 3.45N/mm². Potable water was used for this work and Dangote brand of Ordinary Portland Cement was used as binder. Various combinations of Laterite and sand were used. The least cement content of all the mixes is 10% of dry mass. Compressive cube strength and saturated surface dry (SSD) bulk density tests were conducted. Batching was by weight. Twenty-five mix ratios comprising of cement: laterite: sand were used. A total of 100 standard 150 mm x 150mm x 150mm lateritic sandcrete cubes were cast, cured for 28 days, weighed and crushed. The method of casting was the same as the method of casting traditional sandcrete blocks. The results show that the average SSD density of the lateritic sandcrete cubes are approximately 2334.97 Kg/m³, a value higher than the average value of 1983Kg/m³ conventional sandcrete blocks. Also, all mix ratios had compressive cube strengths higher than 3.45N/mm². Therefore, laterite could be used as part of fine aggregate for making sandcrete blocks. More so, since lateritic sandcrete cubes has a higher compressive strength than the minimum standard, it could be used as load bearing blocks in building construction. However, the cement content should not be less than 10% of dry mass.
