Application of Data Fusion Based on Genetic Algorithm and BP Neural Network in WSN

Energy-saving is one of the inevitable problems of the routing design in WSN, while Data Fusion technology is widely utilized in energy constraint WSN to reduce the amount of messages exchanged between sensor nodes. This paper proposes a new algorithm based on Integrated Genetic and BP Neural Network(IGBP), IGBP uses the global search capability of GA to remedy the deficiency of BP artificial neural network. First, IGBP generates the best individuals in different networks by GA algorithm. Then it chooses the most optimize individual measure by Mean Squared Error to construct the BP network which was supplied to train of the WSN. Using the optimize individual nodes as initialization value training the BP network, it will enhance the learning rates of convergence and avoid falling into the local minimums . The simulation results show that the IGBP algorithm has made great progress in balancing the consumption of energy so as to prolong the network lifetime.

Exploratory Analysis of Fundamental Spiritual Support Factors to a Positive Attitude in Patients with COVID-19 Using Natural-Language Processing Algorithms

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 affects the respiratory tract and is highly infectious. Those patients who knew that the disease could cause death or that their healing process is quite painful because of the symptoms and conditions developed extreme stress, anxiety, and depression, which aggravated the effects of the disease. Therefore, it is vital to conduct research to analyze these effects and generate self-help and support mechanisms during the disease process. This paper presents exploratory analysis related to stress, coping attitudes, emotional responses, and sources of support that were vital in patients affected by COVID-19; the focus of this study is the consideration of the spiritual factor, which may influence religious resilience that allows for a positive attitude and tenacity. To carry out this research, interviews were conducted with patients who had suffered from COVID-19 disease, and the collected information was processed using text-mining techniques using a two-phase methodology. The first phase is based on the Colaizzi method. Interview responses were coded through the search for patterns in the key phrases, and these codes were grouped, forming semantic relationships. In the second phase, natural-language processing algorithms (WordCloud, WordEmbedding, sentiment analysis of opinions) were used, summarizing the interviews in relevant factors of the patient’s experience during the disease. Spiritual resilience stood out the most of all key phrases of the code group tables. Likewise, words such as security, confidence, tranquility, and peace indicated that the patients took a positive attitude towards the symptoms and complications of the disease. Therefore, it is important to be the resilience to face a crisis process, and one of the factors that generated such resilience in COVID-19 patients was religious faith, which was expressed in the interviews using the factors of security, trust, promises of healing, tranquility, and the impossibility of discouragement. All this contributed to the positive attitude of the interviewees during the process of recovery from the disease.
Congestion control for virtual-connection using a Smith predictor in high-speed Gigabit Ethernet networks

Recently, FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) has come under pressure from switched Gigabit Ethernet in the enterprise backbone. In high-speed Gigabit Ethernet networks, traffic is expected to be highly bursty. In particular, whenever data flows from the high-speed link to the low-speed one, congestion commonly occurs. The Virtual-Connection Network (VCN) is a switch-based network capable of implementing cell-based connections, link-by-link flow-controlled connections, and single- or multi-destination virtual connections. Virtual connections described differ from the virtual channel in the ATM literature in that virtual connections have link-by-link flow control and can be multi-destination. VCN's support both connection-oriented and connectionless data link layer traffic. Therefore, the worst collision scenario in Ethernet CSMA/CD with virtual collision brings about end-to-end delay. The goal is to guarantee the performance with respect to bandwidth and latency for selected VCs with different propagation delay, To this end, we propose a classical proportional controller plus a Smith predictor to overcome instability accompanying increased round-trip delays as well as to avoid cell losses. The proposed control policy is illustrated by a simulation study.

A comparison of Return voltage measurement and frequency domain spectroscopy test on high voltage insulation

Return voltage measurement (RVM) and low frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS) have been successfully used to assess moisture content of oil/paper insulation. This paper is focused on modeling the dielectric response of transformer insulation with RVM data and FDS data respectively to get a relationship between these two methods and to facilitate a better interpretation of test results. The model is based on linear dielectric response theory. A nonlinear least squares optimization algorithm is used to estimate the parameters in the model. Experiments have been performed on two transformers in the Pacific Power Advanced Technology Center (ATC). When the transformer is relatively "dry" good agreement was obtained between these two methods, but some difference was found when moisture content of oil/paper insulation in transformer increases.
Improving service quality by capitalising on an integrated Lean Six Sigma methodology

Today, service processes are usually slow processes which are consequently prone to poor service quality. In addition, service has the inherent characteristic of heterogeneity, which means there is variation in service quality that is unsatisfactory to the customer. Fortunately, these issues can be addressed by combining the speed advantage of Lean discipline with Six Sigma's capability of uniform process output. This paper aims to develop and apply an integrated Lean Six Sigma methodology in a service-quality improvement endeavour. An empirical case study of IT (Information Technology) help-desk service was utilised to examine the effectiveness of the methodology.

Establishment of semiconductor equipment purchasing evaluation model based on a knowledge management database

The conventional method for selecting a suitable equipment supplier may have disadvantages such as failing to consider the supplier's technical experience and knowledge and inability of supplier management to make further forecast analysis to aid the decision maker in strategy optimisation. The investment in equipment is expensive but is the key success factor in semiconductor manufacturers' maintaining a competitive advantage. Moreover, in order to effectively evaluate the candidate equipment of suppliers, it is critical to include an evaluation of a candidate supplier's historical and test data. This research constructed an explicit knowledge Semiconductor Equipment Evaluation Model (SEEM) primarily to extract tacit supplier knowledge in fulfilling the semiconductor equipment purchase process. SEEM integrates the analytical hierarchy process, grey relational analysis and knowledge management database. The proposed model supplements the conventional method that considers only qualitative criteria or acquisition cost and provides transparency in the purchasing information and process.

Self-reported seat discomfort amongst economy class aircraft passenger in the Netherlands

Air travel is becoming increasingly more accessible to people both through the availability of cheap flights and because the airlines are now able to cater for individuals of all ages and disabilities. Health problems may arise due to anxiety and unfamiliarity with airport departure procedures prior to flying, whilst during the flight, problems may arise as a result of the food served on board, differences in the environmental conditions inside the cabin (pressure, ventilation, relative humidity, noise and vibration), the risk of cross-infection from fellow passengers, seat position, posture adopted and duration of the flight. These can be further compounded by changes in time zones and meal times, which may continue to affect an individual’s health long after arrival at the final destination . Travel by air, especially long distance, is not a natural activity for human. Many people experience some degree of physiological and psychological discomfort and even stress during flying. Excessive stress may cause passenger to become aggressive, over-reaction, and even endanger the passenger’s health . A number of health problems can affect flying passengers.
High-efficiency low-volume starter/alternator for automotive applications

The amount of electric and electronic equipment in automobiles has grown continuously bringing generating requirements more in line with starting requirements, thereby increasing the appeal of combined starter/alternator (S/A) systems. As surface mounted permanent magnet machines achieve high torque and power densities, which are very attractive for S/A applications, this paper outlines the solutions adopted for the development of a direct-drive axial-flux PM (AFPM) S/A including design characteristics and experimental data taken from a 3 kW prototype. This machine topology, having a reduced axial length and low phase reactance, is particularly suited for S/A systems where reduced room along the engine shaft is available and low voltage drop in generating mode of operation is required. Moreover by using a Litz wire winding good efficiency is reached along the whole operating frequency range.
Zero-voltage-switching techniques and their application to high-frequency converter with piezoelectric transformer

This paper classifies the zero-voltage-switching, clamped-voltage (ZVS-CV) topologies for high-frequency switching dc-dc converters. These topologies are suitable for high-frequency operation because they can suppress the switching loss and voltage stress to the switching elements. In order to demonstrate this feature, we applied a ZVS-CV topology to the high-frequency dc-dc converter with a piezoelectric transformer which operates in megahertz frequency region. In our experiments, the efficiency of 77.8% at the switching frequency of 1.3 MHz was obtained. <<ETX>>
A new overmodulation strategy for induction motor drive using space vector PWM

In the overmodulation region, the operation of the three phase induction motor with a current controller is characterized by a rapid deterioration of the motor torque and speed. It is desirable to use the overmodulation strategy that can extend the normal operating range even in this case. In this paper, a new overmodulation strategy is proposed for the high performance motor drive and a comparison study with two conventional strategies are also described. In the proposed strategy, considering the motor dynamics, a suitable voltage vector is selected in order to extend the stable operating range in the overmodulation region. With this advanced algorithm, the normal operating range can be extended without any extra hardware. From the experimental results, it is verified that the proposed strategy provided the improved performance over the conventional strategies. <<ETX>>

Methodology to Estimate the Distance Traveled by Trucks on Rural Highway Systems

Truck travel, normally expressed in terms of truck vehicle-distance travel (VDT), is a critical data requirement for the design, construction, operation, and management of rural highway systems. The need to estimate and characterize truck travel on a system-wide basis, yet retain a compatible, site-specific mining capability, challenges the traditional approach of traffic monitoring programs. This paper develops and applies a two-phase methodology to estimate truck VDT on rural highway systems. The first phase, which leverages the approach recommended for developing truck traffic data inputs for mechanistic-empirical pavement design, processes vehicle classification data obtained from continuous, sample, and manual counts into annual average daily truck traffic (AADTT) estimates by vehicle class. The second phase attributes these site-specific AADTT estimates to highway segments comprising a rural highway network. The methodology, which is transferrable across jurisdictions, integrates standard statistical procedures with engineering judgment and trucking industry intelligence by establishing transparent decision algorithms and criteria. Application of the methodology using real data reveals relevant limitations and illustrative results that have application to a wide range of transportation engineering decisions.
