A Proposed Technique for Reliable and Energy Efficient Hierarchical Routing in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

: A wireless sensor network may consist of hundreds or up to thousands of sensor nodes and can be spread out as a mass or placed out one by one. The sensor nodes collaborate with each other over a wireless media to establish a sensing network, i.e. a wireless sensor network. Energy efficiency is one of the most important design constraints in wireless sensor network architectures. The lifetime of each sensor nodes depends on its energy dissipation. In applications where the sensor nodes are totally dependent on no rechargeable batteries, sensor nodes with exhausted batteries will cease operation. Therefore, to extend the lifetime of network, hierarchical routing is used. In hierarchical routing architecture, sensor nodes self-configure themselves for the formation of cluster heads. Hierarchical routing can be centralized or non-centralized. In non centralized hierarchical routing, the sensor nodes self configures for the cluster head on the basis of selecting a random number. They don’t consider the case of residual energy. But in centralized routing the base station is responsible to create cluster. In this paper, we have proposed a routing strategy which will consider the case of residual energy before making cluster head, so that it will be reliable and energy efficient.
Fusion of Panchromatic and Multispectral Image using PCA and Wavelet Transform

─ Fusion of two or more images into a single image would enhance the resolution of the resulting image leading to obtaining a more precise image. Image fusion technique in the field of remote sensing is the process of reconceliating two or more images that are obtained from remote sensing sensors or satellites at different times or different sensors at the same instant. Fusion results in transmission of spectral and spatial information without involving any artifacts. Most fusion techniques are used for spatial enrichment and spectral stability between the images. The objective of this paper is to enlighten about different fusion techniques to compare, analyze and estimate various quality measures for panchromatic and multispectral images. In this paper different fusion methods such as Intensity-Hue-Saturation(IHS),Principal
Fuzzy Boundary Attribute Transformation in Databases

A database is a collection of data. It stores information which can be useful in the future. Fuzzy Logic is a type of logic theory which uses reasoning which is not precise or pinpoint. It is used in many ways including control systems, decision making, artificial intelligence and databases. A fuzzy boundary is an area of transition between two zones. An example is the boundary between rural and urban areas. A fuzzy boundary can also be applied to a fuzzy set, such as, the boundary between two different membership functions. In this paper, we describe the fuzzy boundary problem in databases and its solution. If a variable falls close to the boundary between two membership functions, or falls within the “fuzzy” boundary area, its membership value will be decided by the use of another variable.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF CHANNEL ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES WITH OPTIMUM TRAINING SEQUENCES FOR OFDM-BASED SYSTEMS

: The minimum mean-square error (MMSE) channel estimation has well performance but higher complexity than least-square (LS) channel estimation, specially it requires the channel statistical properties including the channel autocorrelation matrix and the noise variance. However, it is difficult to obtain the channel statistical properties in practice. The aim of this paper is to investigate channel estimation methods based on LS and MMSE methods in MIMO-OFDM systems. According to this, with investigating the channel estimation method, we will design optimum training courses for these systems. First of all, pilots were inserted among subcarriers in transmitter with distances emerged of sampling theory then Least-Square method was chosen for initial channel estimation in pilots at receiver. The simulation results showed that the performance of MSE in the proposed method was close to the ideal MMSE estimator and better than the LS estimator.

Power System Transient Stability Enhancement by a Controlled (STATCOM) Using Intelligent Techniques

Because of increasing demand and restrictions on load day by day due to industrial development rapidly, AC Transmission lines become more stressed. One of the stressed system is losing stability after disturbance happened. Therefore, Flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices are used in transmission lines to get desired stability. Synchronous generator must be in balance with loads for all time. When the power generation less than loads, drops in voltage and frequency will happened. Improving transient stability of system by controlling on the excitation of generator when the faults or disturbance occur for short time, But that not sufficient to maintain the system stability when big fault or disturbance occur near the generator terminals for long time. The STATCOM regulates voltage at its terminal by controlling the amount of reactive power generated in power system, the benefit of STATCOM used to improve the system transient stability during disturbance or fault.
Intrinsic targeting strategies against acute myeloid leukemic stem cells

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is ranked as the sixth highest cause of cancer-related deaths. Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are suspected to be the cause of AML’s relapse and resistance to conventional chemotherapy. LSCs and normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) share many properties such as self-renewal capacity, which appears to be responsible for the maintenance of leukemia cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood. In recent years, significant achievement in understanding the LSCs’ biology and regulators has been made that opens new windows for targeting LSCs. Some of these strategies are directed against the signaling pathways such as Wnt, and others are directed against transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). Research is also ongoing to look for epigenetic reprogramming of LSCs by targeting DNMT3A mutation. This review highlights studies that target the intrinsic LSC regulators.

Zilpaterol Hydrochloride Effects on Red Meat Yield and Quality

Zilpaterol hydrochloride is a β-adrenergic agonist, which belongs to a group of compounds known as catecholamines. β-Adrenergic agonists activate β-receptors in muscle and fat causing increased lipolysis, decreased lipogenesis or increased protein accretion (Mersmann, 1998), or both. β-Adrenergic agonists vary greatly in their effect on meat animals. Supplementation of diets with β-agonists can result in increased rate of weight gain, feed efficiency, leanness, and dressing percentage (Moody et al., 2000). Supplementation of β-agonists has also been shown to decrease marbling scores, increase Warner-Bratzler shear force, and adversely affect consumer sensory scores.

GPS Position Estimation Using Integer Ambiguity Free Carrier Phase Measurements

— The GPS receiver position can be estimated either by using code or carrier phase pseudorange measurements. The navigation solution obtained using the carrier phase based measurements is more accurate than the code based pseudoranges. It is mainly due to the carrier phase wavelength of the GPS satellite transmitted on L-band signal is very small (i.e. 19cm for L1) compared to the code wavelength (i.e. 293m for C/A code). The receiver cannot accurately determine the integer number of wavelengths. Therefore, the carrier phase measurements observed at the receiver have some ambiguity in its estimation called integer ambiguity (integer number of carrier phase cycles). The key to precise carrier phase based positioning is to resolve these integer ambiguities which is extremely challenging when more noise or jamming is present. In this paper, a precise navigation solution algorithm based on integer ambiguity free carrier phase measurements is presented. This algorithm uses ambiguity free carrier phase measurements as well as least squares method.
Assessment of Risky Sexual Behaviors Among University Students in Kigali, Rwanda

Risky sexual behaviors (RSB) remain a public health concern among university students who are considered as key population for a nation’s economic development. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of sexually active students, RSB and their associated factors among students from two selected universities in Kigali. We employed a cross sectional study with data collection using a pre-tested questionnaire. IBM SPSS version 21 was employed for data analysis. Chi-square test was used to assess association between RSB and explanatory factors assuming a 95% confidence interval, 5% margin of error and statistical significance at P value less than 0.05. A total 269 university students with almost equal representation of both males and females, 49.8% and 50.2%, respectively were enrolled. Of these 269, 68.4% were sexually active during the period of data collection. RSB reported among university students include having multiple sexual partners with an average number of life sexual partners of 3.5, having at least one other sexual partner out of marriage (21%), paying for sex (16%), receiving payment for sex (10%), having unprotected sex with only 15% of them using always using condoms with risk sexual partners and only 6% using condoms while drunk or after using drugs. RSB were more common among younger aged (between 20 and 26 years old) with peak at 23 years old, unmarried (12.6%), widowed (50%), cohabitating (41.2%), prenuptial sex (22%) groups. Findings also revealed that working students, with self-employment or professional employment, are likely to engage in sexual activity after taking drugs or alcohol. All in all, RSB are still a major problem among university students. This calls for a review of current interventions addressing sexual health among this population. There is also a need for further studies with larger sample sizes.
Genetic Analysis of Grain Yield and Plant Height in full diallel Crosses of Bread Wheat

A full diallel cross study comprising of five bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars was carried out with parents and F2 progeny to determine combining ability, gene action, and correlations for grain yield, plant height and their components under irrigated and water deficient stress. Estimates of the genetic components of variation as well as ratio of GCA/SCA showed that all the characters were predominantly controlled by additive gene action. The results revealed insensitivity of both kinds of gene effects to the environmental variations. Partitioning the GCA and SCA effect to male and female showed that maternal effect case over estimate in value of general and specific combining ability. The estimates of general combining ability pointed out that the best general combiners for the plant height and its components were dwarf mutant (As-48) which appeared to appreciate parent for reduce plant height and also increase spike length in wheat breeding program. Our results revealed that selection for plant height and its components would be effective in early generation. The dwarf mutant (AS-48) might be helpful for wheat breeders to develop new varieties with semi-dwarf and lodging resistance.
DC Motor with Load Coupled by Gears Speed Control using Modified Ziegler-Nichols Based PID Tunings

The used of DC motor in various applications has been increased due to the ease with which it speed can be controlled to give the desired performance characteristics under various condition. PID controllers are widely used in DC motor speed control due to its simple structure and robustness to the modeling error, however their effectiveness is often limited due to the poor selection (or tuning) of its parameters. To facilitate the determination of the appropriate values of the parameters of the PID controller for the control of DC motor at any set point therefore required using appropriate tuning method. This paper provides a better understanding of how PID controller is tuned using Ziegler-Nichols Step Response, Cohen-Coon Method and Chien–Hrones–Reswick (CHR) method. Experimental results of PID control of DC motor with load coupled by gear shows that CHR-PID tunings gives a much improved performance over Ziegler-Nichols Step Response and Cohen-Coon PID-tuning with settling time of 355sec. , 112sec. , and 111 sec . respectively at each set point Keywords: DC motor, Ziegler-Nichols Step Response, Cohen-Coon method and CHR method
Efficient Routing Protocol for Highly Dynamic Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

— Data delivery of packets in broad cast using wireless medium is the main intention of this paper, this will be done through a MANETS and should achieve reliable delivery. To do this various protocols are available in the networks world with in that efficient protocol called Position based opportunistic routing protocol which holds stateless property of geographic routing. When a data packet is sent out, some of the neighbour nodes that have overheard the transmission will serve as forwarding candidates, and take turn to forward the packet if it is not relayed by the specific best forwarder within a certain period of time. The existing routing protocols like DSR, DSDV are susceptible to node mobility. The design of POR is based on Geographic Routing and Opportunistic Forwarding, which transfers the data packet based on the location of the destination.
Human Emotion Recognition using Electrocardiogram Signals

— Human emotions are recognized using face recognition, speech recognition, physiological signals recognition etc. This paper represents Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal for emotion recognition thorough analysis of its psychological properties to recognize human emotion, it can reflect people’s true emotion and provide smooth interface between human and computer. Each signal is empirically decomposed by using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) into finite set of small oscillatory activity called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF’s). The information components of interest are then combined to create feature vector based on the combination methods for exploiting the fission-fusion processes provided by Hilbert-Huang transform. In the next stage, classification is performed by using Multi class Support Vector Machines to identify four emotional states (joy, anger, sadness and pleasure) of human body. When we evaluated the algorithm on database recorded at university of Augsburg, the proposed method achieved improved recognition accuracy for subject-independent classification.
