With the widespread evolution of new technologies and services, Internet has experienced explosive growth across the market that actively increases the impact of attacks where the attackers continuously find vulnerabilities and attack the system In an information system, intrusions are the activities that violate the security policy of the system. At this instant, it is fundamental to impenetrable the pc gadget which has end up the important problem over the few years so as to observe and forestall attacks. Intrusion detection is a necessary device to display networks for attacks or intrusions and document these intrusions in order to take an action. While Intrusion detection structures are ubiquitous defenses in current networks, there is no rigorous methodology to measure or enhance the effectiveness of the system. This paper is aimed to facilitate the extraordinary kinds of Intrusion detection systems, merits, demerits and the overall performance measurements that are desired. To determine these metrics, we evaluate previous empirical evaluations. We additionally existing the set of hurdles that have blocked the measurements and lookup associated in the direction of enhancing dimension competencies has been supplied.
An Effective Adaptive Threshold Based Compressive Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
Authors: S. Sureshkrishna S. Varalakshmi, K. Senthil Kumar, A. K. Gnanasekar,
Published: March 2021

Spectrum sensing is playing a vital role in Cognitive Radio networks. Wideband spectrum sensing increases the speed of sensing but which in turn requires higher sampling rate and also increases the complexity of hardware and also power consumption. Compression based sensing reduces the sampling rate by using Sub-Nyquist sampling but the compression and the reconstruction problem exists. In compression based spectrum sensing, noise uncertainty is one of the major performance degradation factor. To reduce this degradation, compressive measurements based sensing with adaptive threshold is proposed. In this technique compressed signal is sensed without any reconstruction of the signal. When the nodes are mobile in the low SNR region, the noise uncertainty degrades the performance of spectrum sensing. To conquer this problem, noise variance is estimated using parametric estimation technique and the threshold is varied adaptively. In the low SNR region, this proposed technique reduces the effect of noise and improves the spectrum sensing performance.

Authors: Dr. R. Manikandan Dr. Senthilkumar A, Dr. Lekashri S, Abhay Chaturvedi,
Published: March 2021

Trust is an essential parameter among sensor nodes to provide secured and successful communication. Many trust management schemes have been proposed earlier for large scale Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) however not cooperates well in terms of low dependability, memory overheads, large communication etc, therefore a system called Data Traffic Trust Scheme (DTTS) for clustered WSN is proposed here. Here the trust nodes are identified through the data traffic sampling rate. The trust rate is identified through the number of sent and receive data packets and the malicious packets are diagnosed through the un-matching packet rate. The simulation results are evaluated to show the efficiency for the proposed scheme.
AN EFFICIENTFUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-VALUED DATA SETS
Authors: D Lalitha Bhaskari P Gopala Krishna,
Published: March 2021

In data analysis, items were mostly described by a set of characteristics called features, in which each feature contains only single value for each object. Even so, in existence, some features may include more than one value, such as a person with different job descriptions, activities, phone numbers, skills and different mailing addresses. Such features may be called as multi-valued features, and are mostly classified as null features while analyzing the data using machine learning and data mining techniques.  In this paper, it is proposed a proximity function to be described between two substances with multi-valued features that are put into effect for clustering.The suggested distance approach allows iterative measurements of the similarities around objects as well as their characteristics.

For facilitating the most suitable multi-valued factors, we put forward a model targeting at determining each factor’s relative prominence for diverse data extracting problems. The proposed algorithm is a partition clustering strategy that uses fuzzy c- means clustering for evolutions, which is using the novel member ship function by utilizing the proposed similarity measure. The proposed clustering algorithm as fuzzy c- means based Clustering of Multivalued Attribute Data (FCM-MVA).Therefore this becomes feasible using any mechanisms for cluster analysis to group similar data. The findings demonstrate that our test not only improves the performance the traditional measure of similarity but also outperforms other clustering algorithms on the multi-valued clustering framework.

There are various important choices that need to be assumed when building and training a neural network. One has to determine which loss function to be used, how many layers to be include, what stride and kernel size to use for each layer, which optimization algorithm is best suited for the network and so on. Assuming all the above condition, it decided to initialize the neural network training by different weight initialization techniques. This process is carried out in affiliation or with respect to with random learning rate so that we can get better result. We have calculated the mean test error for newly proposed paradigm and traditional approach. The newly proposed paradigm Xavier Weight Initialization less error in comparison to the traditional approach of Uniform and Gaussian Weight initialization (Random Initialization).

On the Issue of Improving the Stay of Enforcement of Obligations
Authors: Osipov M. Yu.
Published: March 2021

. Improving the institution of stay of enforcement of obligations is one of the urgent problems in modern civil law. The need to reform this institution is relevant as in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and forced self-isolation many organizations of trade, public catering, provision of household services and others are forced to suspend their work in connection with the introduced regime of anti-epidemic measures. Due to the lack of income, these organizations often find themselves in a situation where they cannot fulfill a number of obligations, primarily obligations arising from the lease agreement. The purpose of the study is to consider the features of the

institution of stay of enforcement of obligations, to analyze the adequacy of this institution in the new conditions and to suggest ways to improve it. To achieve this goal, the author uses the following methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, formal-legal approach. In the course of the study, it was found that in the new conditions, in particular in connection with the spread of coronavirus infection, it is necessary to reform the institution of stay of enforcement of obligations. The reform of this institution should be aimed at expanding the grounds for stay of enforcement of obligations, including by introducing such grounds as suspending the activities of an organization based on a decision of state authorities or local self-government bodies. In this case, the obligations of the specified organization are considered suspended until the resumption of its activities. It seems that this institution of stay of enforcement of obligations makes it possible to account the interests of both the creditor and the debtor, and therefore, in our opinion, is an effective institution for regulating private relations.

Redomiciliation of Foreign Companies in the Russian Federation: Assessment of the Aggregate Financial Result
Authors: Konduktorov A. S.
Published: March 2021

The paper attempts to assess the fiscal, investment, and monetary repatriation results of the application of legislation on the redomicilation of organizations registered in offshore states to Russian special administrative regions. The study was conducted in the context of the fundamental adjustment of agreements on the avoidance of double taxation concluded with foreign countries, which began in the summer of 2020 on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the results obtained are more promising than current. In the course of the study, comparative legal and statistical methods were used, and the "reinvestment strategy" of economic entities, which is expressed in the reverse investment of funds previously transferred to the accounts of offshore organizations, was analyzed (In the context of changes in double taxation agreements).

The outcomes of the analysis show that direct taxation of an international company that is redomiciled in the Russian Federation does not give a tangible fiscal result and is nothing more than a tool to increase the attractiveness of the Russian legal jurisdiction. However, the volume of mandatory investments accompanying the redomicilation procedure is significant in terms of the degree of financial burden on international companies, which should provide a fiscal effect for the budget system in the medium and long term. Cash-repatriation result of redomiciliation will be equal to the amounts reinvested in Russia from offshore countries; it is expressed in the improvement of the financial system of the Russian Federation by means of displacement of offshore practices. The author summarizes that, in general, the analysis of legal regulation indicates that the Russian Federation does not set the goal of increasing current budget revenues because of the application of the procedure of redomicilation of foreign organizations, but expects a promising financial and economic effect.
The Content of Recovering and Compensating the Harm Caused by the Crime under the Legislation of the Russian Federation and Germany
Authors: Ploshkina Ya. M.
Published: March 2021

The paper examines the concept of recovery of harm caused by the crime under Russian law in comparison with the concept of compensation for harm under German law. The results of the comparative legal study represent characteristics of the legal regulation and disclosure of the content of recovery and compensation for harm caused by a crime under the legislation of the Russian Federation and Germany, as well as the problems related to restrictions associated with compensation of harm in a narrow sense and recovery of harm under German Law. In Germany, the law provides for the legal institution of compensation of harm to the injured person by the person who committed a criminal act, which envisages its comprehensive legal regulation in specific provisions of criminal and criminal procedure laws. Legal regulation of recovery of harm in the Russian Federation is still unsettled due to the fact that recovery of harm is a mandatory element of various legal institutions (for example, termination of the criminal case due to active repentance, reconciliation of the parties, imposition of a judicial fine or circumstances mitigating the sentence, etc.). To determine the content of the harm caused by the crime, it is necessary to refer not only to the text of the law, but also to the legal acts of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation with due regard to the article defining the contents of recovery of harm caused by the crime. Under German law, compensation for the injured person by a person who committed a criminal act is used in two senses: narrow and broad ones, including recovery. The paper presents the criteria that allow us to limit these forms of response to the crime committed, as well as the content of compensation for harm in a broad sense.

Published: March 2021

Este artigo vincula-se a uma tese doutoral cujo objetivo foi compreender, por meio da identificação de diferentes instanciações de frames semânticos, as redes de significado que (re)enquadram os direitos humanos e reprodutivos das mulheres no contexto das audiências públicas que debateram a Sugestão Legislativa (SUG) nº 15/2014 – tal proposta visou a regular o aborto nas primeiras doze semanas de gestação (SANTOS, 2020). Especificamente, o texto trata de alguns desdobramentos analíticos possibilitados pela integração da ferramenta de análise qualitativa NVivo ao recurso Sketch Engine, tendo em vista a necessidade de segmentação do corpus em unidades temáticas para posterior processamento dos dados no concordanciador. De modo a abordar tal percurso, o artigo discute a identificação de frames no discurso dos defensores da proposta da SUG nº 15, cujas escolhas lexicais refletem a conceptualização do abortamento como questão de saúde pública e de justiça social. Como resultados, o artigo destaca que o uso integrado de diferentes ferramentas de análise empírica permite uma descrição baseada em corpus que evidencia a dimensão multifacetada do frame semântico – uma estrutura sociocognitiva que se constrói nos entrelaçamentos entre léxico, discurso e cognição.
Pragmática do inglês aeronáutico
Authors: Prado Malila Carvalho de Almeida
Published: March 2021

A Escala de Proficiência Linguística da ICAO oferece parâmetros para o ensino e a avaliação do inglês aeronáutico focado nas habilidades orais. Serve para os governos em todo o mundo avaliarem a proficiência em inglês de pilotos e controladores de tráfego aéreo, licenciando-os para operações internacionais. Este estudo aborda duas das seis áreas linguísticas elencadas na Escala, quais sejam, fluência e interação, para compreender quais elementos conversacionais estão presentes nas comunicações entre pilotos e controladores com o objetivo de subsidiar materiais pedagógicos. A análise se baseia em um corpus de comunicações via rádio entre pilotos e controladores em situações anormais, revelando um código mais espontâneo, diferentemente da Fraseologia Padrão oficial mandatória nas situações rotineiras. A Linguística de Corpus é a metodologia utilizada nesta investigação, concentrada nos mais frequentes blocos de linguagem de três palavras evidenciados no corpus de estudo. A investigação desses blocos de linguagem revela que fluência e interação são interconectadas e deveriam ser consideradas a partir da perspectiva da língua em uso. Para ilustrar, ‘we’d like’ e ‘if you can’ são normalmente empregados como solicitações. Conclui-se sugerindo que a conscientização dos aprendizes sobre aspectos pragmáticos da língua é fundamental na sala de aula do inglês aeronáutico.
Linguística de corpus e formação profissional contínua
Authors: Viana Vander , Lu Lu
Published: March 2021

Estudos sobre a aplicação da linguística de corpus (LC) à educação examinaram uma série de contextos diferentes – principalmente aqueles em que os alunos recebem um diploma de colação de grau (por exemplo, cursos de graduação e mestrado). No entanto, pouco se sabe a respeito da aprendizagem informal da LC, especialmente por (mas não se limitando a) acadêmicos/profissionais que não tem uma formação educacional e/ou não trabalham em áreas relacionadas aos estudos da linguagem. A presente pesquisa preenche essas lacunas, examinando a perspectiva dos participantes de um projeto de formação profissional contínua destinado a acadêmicos/profissionais de várias disciplinas, que não precisavam ter conhecimento prévio de LC. Mais especificamente, administramos um questionário a 28 participantes de um projeto de formação profissional contínua na área de LC realizado no Reino Unido com o objetivo de pesquisar quatro aspectos principais: (i) a formação educacional em LC dos participantes; (ii) suas motivações para participar desse tipo de projeto; (iii) as vantagens e barreiras de empregar a LC em suas práticas pedagógicas; e (iv) suas avaliações sobre a integração da análise de corpus em suas práticas de pesquisa. Os resultados apontam para o papel dos projetos de formação profissional contínua na democratização do acesso à educação em LC para profissionais tanto da área de estudos da linguagem quanto de outras áreas e no potencial aumento do interesse desses profissionais na aprendizagem de LC. A falta de conhecimento é percebida como a principal barreira para a incorporação de abordagens de corpus para o ensino e a pesquisa, reforçando assim a relevância do desenvolvimento de oportunidades de aprendizagem formal e informal para acadêmicos/profissionais em diferentes áreas.
desenho de tarefas pedagógicas para o ensino de Inglês para Fins Acadêmicos
Authors: Bocorny Ana Eliza Pereira , Welp Anamaria
Published: March 2021

Nas últimas décadas, um grande número de instituições de ensino superior (IES) buscou a internacionalização de suas atividades. Sendo o inglês a língua franca da academia (AMMON, 2011; JENKINS, 2009; TARDY, 2004), publicar nesse idioma facilita a disseminação do conhecimento científico produzido no país e aumenta as chances de citação e de colaboração (BOCORNY et al., no prelo; MENEGHINI; PACKER, 2007 apud BAUMVOL, 2018). Tendo em vista o contexto descrito, este estudo objetiva propor princípios para a elaboração de tarefas pedagógicas (TPs) com a utilização de dados linguísticos extraídos de um corpus especializado e relativos à linguagem convencionalmente usada em artigos de pesquisa. Desse objetivo geral, derivam dois objetivos específicos. O primeiro, de ordem analítica, busca extrair, categorizar e classificar expressões multipalavra a partir de um corpus especializado de textos da seção introdução de artigos de pesquisa recentes (2003-2019) publicados em inglês em periódicos internacionais da área da Física. O segundo, de ordem pedagógica, visa usar os dados linguísticos coletados para informar a construção de TPs para o ensino e a aprendizagem de Inglês para Fins Acadêmicos (IFA). As TPs resultantes deste estudo estão disponibilizadas on-line e de forma gratuita no Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem LÚMINA Idiomas (BOCORNY, 2017).
Diseño de corpus específicos para el estudio histórico gramatical
Authors: Arellano Nicolás
Published: March 2021

Este artículo busca analizar las ventajas de una aproximación a los datos lingüísticos históricos a partir de la confección de corpus específicamente diseñados. Para ello, en primer lugar, se presentan las principales limitaciones de los corpus generales de referencia, particularmente del corde (rae) y Corpus del Español (byu), no solamente en cuanto al acceso de sus motores de búsqueda, sino también a la disponibilidad de los textos que los componen. En segundo lugar, se hace uso de un caso en específico, el del origen y desarrollo de las construcciones con clítico femenino, para ilustrar la propuesta. A continuación, se contrasta esta propuesta de abordaje de datos con otras investigaciones que utilizan corpus generales. Se evidencia, así, que este modo de acceso a las emisiones lingüísticas históricas favorece el estudio de procesos gramaticales novedosos de interfaz que se circunscriben a ámbitos informales, populares, orales y diatópicamente marginales.
Construindo corpora bilíngues quimbundo- português-quimbundo
Authors: Araújo Paulo Jeferson Pilar
Published: March 2021

Discute-se neste artigo as possibilidades para a construção de corpora bilíngues quimbundo-português-quimbundo para o estudo de fenômenos de contato linguístico entre essas duas línguas. Faz-se uma aproximação entre as áreas da Linguística de Corpus e da Linguística Africana, enfatizando-se o caso dos contatos linguísticos presentes nos corpora em vista. Defende-se que o quimbundo e o português têm uma relação histórica que permite a elaboração de um corpus escrito a partir de sua tradição descritiva iniciada no século XVII e de um corpus de fala decorrente de projetos de pesquisa recentes que se ocupam de variedades vernaculares do português e sua relação com a língua africana deste estudo. Para tanto, buscou-se fazer um estudo do estado da arte da descrição do quimbundo e do português angolano com o objetivo de demonstrar a necessidade e viabilidade da produção de corpora bilíngues escrito e de fala quimbundo-português-quimbundo. Espera-se que a produção de corpora bilíngues quimbundo-português-quimbundo possa contribuir para o conhecimento da situação de contato visualizado entre as duas línguas, pautando-se em material empírico necessário para o entendimento da real situação de contato entre essas línguas de Angola além de embasar com dados empíricos hipóteses como a de um continuum afro-brasileiro de português.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever os procedimentos metodológicos da pesquisa intitulada “ToGatherUp: um protótipo de ferramenta para a construção de corpora” que verificou o efeito da incorporação da ferramenta ToGatherUp no tempo e no esforço necessários para a construção manual de um corpus que elaboramos: o Corpus da Computação da Língua Inglesa (CoCLI). Para tanto, discorremos sobre como os autores da pesquisa desenvolveram um conjunto de métricas de medição de esforço – Esforço da Atividade (EA), Esforço Total de Coleta do Texto (ETCT) e Esforço Total do Projeto (ETP) – que serviram de base para a realização de um experimento estatístico comparativo entre os projetos de elaboração manual de duas versões idênticas do CoCLI que se diferenciam por em um deles utilizar o ToGatherUp e o outro não. O resultado do experimento demonstrou uma redução média de 7,47% no ETP do projeto em que o ToGatherUp foi incorporado em relação ao ETP do projeto em que a ferramenta não foi utilizada, o que corroborou a hipótese de que ela reduz o tempo e o esforço despendidos pelo pesquisador em projetos de elaboração manual de corpora.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é cotejar dados indicativos de inteligibilidade e convencionalidade em textos de divulgação da área médica em português para verificar sua adequação ao público brasileiro. Para tanto, apoiamo-nos nos pressupostos da Linguística de Corpus para a compilação e o processamento de um corpus paralelo, formado por textos escritos originalmente em inglês e suas traduções para o português, e um corpus comparável, composto pelos textos traduzidos em português e por textos originalmente escritos nesse idioma. A metodologia do estudo combina análises quantitativas – para levantamento de inteligibilidade, chavicidade e colocação – e qualitativas – para análise das palavras em contexto. Em relação à inteligibilidade, as ferramentas apontaram que os textos escritos em português são ‘difíceis’ para o leitor médio brasileiro, com grau de instrução inferior ao Ensino Médio. Já os textos traduzidos foram considerados ‘razoavelmente difíceis’, de acordo com esse mesmo critério de avaliação, que classificou os originais em inglês como ‘razoavelmente fáceis’, considerando-se seu público alvo, ou seja, o leitor médio estadunidense. A análise qualitativa apontou que os textos traduzidos apresentam quebras de convencionalidade, demonstrando preferência por equivalentes prima facie, nem sempre condizentes com os padrões observados nos textos de mesmo gênero escritos originalmente em português. Apesar de a ferramenta de acessibilidade textual indicar que tanto os textos escritos originalmente em português quanto aqueles traduzidos não se mostram totalmente adequados para o leitor-alvo brasileiro de textos de divulgação médica, acreditamos que a quebra da convencionalidade, identificada nos textos traduzidos, pode dificultar ainda mais a compreensão do leitor médio de resultados de pesquisas científicas da área da saúde.

Para las microempresas existen grandes dificultades para financiarse dada su poca calidad crediticia, haciendo que se les restrinja el crédito tradicional y, a su vez, motivando el uso de fuentes de financiación informales. No obstante, el microcrédito se establece como una alternativa de financiamiento de enorme potencial en el desarrollo económico regional, ya que incentiva la iniciativa empresarial y posibilita consolidar una respuesta empresarial a las necesidades de los sectores menos favorecidos, lo que sin lugar a dudas impacta sobre la pobreza y, por ende, en el desarrollo. El presente artículo, tiene como objetivo determinar las características del microcrédito y el nivel de satisfacción de sus usuarios, en el sector industrial manufacturero de Pasto. Para ello, la investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo, desarrollándose un tipo de estudio descriptivo, el cual se basó en una encuesta aplicada a 315 microempresas manufactureras del municipio de Pasto en el año 2016. Los resultados muestran que el 64,76% de las microempresas manufactureras accedieron al microcrédito, evidenciando la presencia moderada de exclusión y autoexclusión financiera en ese segmento empresarial. Adicionalmente, los usuarios del microcrédito revelaron una baja educación financiera debido a su desconocimiento sobre las características del servicio: tasa, cuota, plazo, etc. Por último, se destaca que, si bien los usuarios de microcrédito, por lo general, afirmaron que el microcrédito fue oportuno, suficiente y de fácil acceso, perciben el servicio como costoso, sin embargo, la gran mayoría estableció estar satisfecho con el servicio y un 67% estaría dispuesto a continuar haciendo uso del microcrédito.

This report captures the various ways in which the cultural heritage sector is adapting, not only to cope with the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to flourish in the future. It is the result of a joint virtual exchange between members of the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) and the International Federation of Television Archives (FIAT/IFTA). The aim was to gather professionals from the global archival community and to discuss how positive changes could be identified and sustained, to share best practices and individual experiences, and to collaboratively think out the best ways forward.
Reliability Estimation of Three Parameters Weibull Distribution based on Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Algamal Zakariya Y , Basheer Ghalia
Published: March 2021

The three-parameter Weibull distribution is a continuous distribution widely used in the study of reliability and life data. The estimation of the distribution parameters is an important problem that has received a lot of attention by researchers because of theirs effects in several measurements. In this research, we propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO) to estimate the three-parameter Weibull distribution and then to estimate the reliability and hazard functions. The real data results indicate that our proposed estimation method is significantly consistent in estimation compared to the maximum likelihood method. In terms of log likelihood and mean time to failure (MTTF).

The relations for moments of generalized order statistics (gos) for transmuted exponential distribution are obtained. These include relations for single, inverse, product and ratio moments. These relations are useful in for recursive computation of moments of gos for transmuted exponential distribution. Some characterizations of the distribution, based on single and product moments of gos, are also obtained.
An unusual presentation of a retroperitoneal gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Authors: Paruthy Samir , Paruthy Shivani B.
Published: March 2021

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are soft tissue mesenchymal tumor originating from intestinal cells of Cajal which are pace makers of the intestine. GIST commonly arises from stomach and intestine although they seem to appear occasionally in mesentery, omentum and esophagus, but origin from retro-peritoneum is very infrequent.  We herein report case of a huge retroperitoneal GIST measuring 16x13x9 cm size, in a 52-year-old lady occupying whole abdomen arising as pelvic mass. GIST was initially mistaken with associated large intramural fibroid uterus and a large pedunculated sub-serosa broad ligament fibroid. Patient was taken for abdominal open hysterectomy with complete tumor excision after all adhesions from adjoining intestine was separated. Histopathological examination of the mass confirmed it was retroperitoneal GIST with positive immune-histochemistry. Patient responded well to Imatinib therapy, and for last 4 years there has been no residual disease or recurrence as evidenced with regular follow up.
Nonlinear Dynamics Analysis of a Rolling Bearing
Authors: Smagala Arkadiusz , Kecik Krzysztof
Published: March 2021

A numerical analysis of the nonlinear bearing model about two degrees of freedom has been presented in this paper. The contact between a ball and ring by Hertz theory is described. Influence of the number of balls, shaft rotation and clearance on the acceleration were investigated in detail. Three numbers of balls from 11 to 16 were analyzed. The clearance level in the range of 0-71μm has been studied. It has been shown that the acceleration responses are different, depending on the vibration direction and are usually higher when the radial internal clearance and the shaft speed are increased. The higher ball number caused that the accelerations decreased in both directions. Moreover, two dynamic indicators that can be used for comparison bearing dynamics have been proposed. These obtained results are useful for understanding the vibration response mechanism from a practical point of view.

Published: March 2021

In this paper, a new controller design approach for DC-DC flyback converter has been proposed and compared with classic controller design approach. The proposed controller design method has been innovated from the identification LS method that previously applied on parameter identification. The proposed method exchanges the controller design problem to the identification problem. The proposed approach has two considerable superiority compared with common methods. It can design a controller with the desired structure and desired performance. Regard to these advantages, it can be notated that the proposed approach is well suited for SMPS application where benefits from analog controllers for the decreased total cost. For controller design purposes, the large and small-signal models of the flyback converter, using well-known state-space averaging and linearization methods have been extracted and controllers with classic and proposed approaches have been designed. Also, it proved that the conventional peak current controller used in commercial current-mode analog controllers is equivalent to a proportional average controller. One practical flyback converter has designed and implemented in continuous mode with two controllers and some experimental and simulation results have been provided for verification of the proposed method. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed design approach can provide a controller with the desired structure and performance.

Published: March 2021

Magnetic Levitation System (MLS) objective is to levitate objects to the desired height without any contact. MLS is highly nonlinear and inherently unstable. Such a system imposes a challenge when designing robust and high-performance controllers. This paper presents the design of a Sliding Mode (SM) controller with an Integral term called SM-I controller to achieve the desired levitation against nonlinearities and uncertainties of the system. The controller parameters are tuned using the Equilibrium Optimizer (EO) algorithm. The Effectiveness of the proposed controller is validated by simulation results. Simulations are performed for servo tracking with and without perturbations in the MLS parameters. The proposed controller is compared with the conventional SM, LQR, and PID controllers to show its superiority. The results prove that the SM-I is more efficient than the other controllers.
