This paper proposes CAF algorithm to estimate localisation accuracy of a stationary emitter which is being monitored by a pair of sensors mounted on high altitudes. It computes joint Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) using Cross Ambiguity Function (CAF) and measures geolocation accuracy in presence of biasing in sensor position and velocity. Previous work in this area utilizes TDOA and FDOA measurements with known sensor kinematics which is fed to Maximum Likelihood or Least Squares algorithm for post processing. However it is computation demanding. In the present work, surface peaks of TDOA and FDOA values are directly mapped to geographic coordinates. This method is computationally efficient. As sensor and emitter geometry keeps changing over time due to moving sensors, multiple CAF snapshots are taken for emitter geolocation. Simulations are carried out using MATLAB. It is observed that at 30 dB SNR, location accuracy of stationary emitter is 100 m at known sensor kinematics and by introducing bias in the receiver position and velocity, it is 200 meters. These measurements are well within and in accordance with theoretical developments.

Raft foundations generally have the ability to reduce differential settlement, contrarily causing excessive settlement. In order to overcome this, piles are used along with the raft termed as combined pile-raft foundation system. Due to the lack of availability of simplified tools and intricacy of work, the combined pile raft foundation remains as an untouched area in research. This paper explores the performance of 2x2 numerically simulated combined pile-raft foundation embedded in sand exposed to pure horizontal load using ABAQUS 3D. The effect of horizontal loading in terms of displacement is studied by varying the raft thickness, length and spacing to diameter ratios respectively for the combined pile-raft foundation having a pile diameter of 500mm. The model is validated using the existing findings. Based on this study, it is inferred that the raft thickness effect remains inconsequential whereas the length to diameter ratio and spacing to diameter ratio has an impact on the static response of the combined pile-raft foundation system.

De-duplication technology is commonly used to decrease the space and bandwidth requirements of services by eliminating repeated data and store only a single copy of them. Unfortunately, it raises issues relating to security and ownership such as, unauthorized users may claim as owner of that file and security threat from curious server itself. To overcome these issues, Secure Block level de-duplication with Proof of Ownership Scheme is proposed in this work. Proof-of-Ownership Scheme allows any owner of the same data to prove to the server that he owns the data in a robust way. This scheme uses convergent encryption and it protects the data from attackers and honest but curious server. It also reduces storage space efficiently by checking the uniqueness of data at block level

Rolling element bearing health condition is monitored by analysing its vibration signature. Raw vibration signal picked up through suitably placed accelerometers is difficult to analyse hence many signal processing techniques have been proposed and developed by researchers to process the data for suitably extracting an effective signal feature set. Various machine learning techniques have been used for interpretation and accurate fault diagnosis using this extracted feature set. In this study “Empirical mode decomposition” is used for pre-processing the raw vibration data. Six “Statistical features” are extracted from the best Intrinsic mode function obtained through EMD and “Ensemble machine learning classifiers” are used for bearing fault diagnosis. A stacked ensemble of five classifiers is proposed for accurate fault diagnosis and results are compared with conventional ensemble classifiers to prove its effectiveness.

Flat slab system is widely used because of its architectural flexibility Punching is one of the major and critical problems in flat slab especially for the edge column. There are many traditional ways to increase the punching shear strength of concrete slabs like increasing the slab thickness or column dimensions which is against the architectural desire Using FRP strengthening for the flat slabs against punching shear can be considered as a new application. Sometimes an opening is needed to be punched through existing slabs to install cables, elevators and ventilation systems, etc. This causes weakening due to the cutting of concrete and reinforcing steel and also increases the punching problems especially if the opening beside the edge columns. This research is aimed to evaluate the effects of strengthening with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) on the punching shear behaviour of flat slab with an opening varying in location with respect to the edge column. Bearing capacity, deflection, ductility, energy absorption and stiffness obtained from the tested slabs are compared to the control specimen, which was without opening and strengthening. It is observed that, the punching shear capacities of the strengthened specimens significantly increased compared to control specimen. Creating openings in flat slab beside the edge column should be approached with great caution and avoided if possible because of its bad effects. In case of openings are of extreme necessity, it is recommended to be created in the front of the edge column not in the side.

This paper studies the potential for installing savonius type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine systems with the goal of maximizing the efficiency and reducing the cost. The wind turbine efficiency depends on the material of the blade, angle of the blade and shape of the blade. So material of the wind turbine blade plays an important role in the design of wind turbine. In this paper, Stainless Steel is used to design savonius wind blades of 1 m height and 0.5 m chord length with 4 different arc radii. For this purpose, CAD modeling software Solid Works is used to model savonius wind blade and static structural and modal analysis of the Stainless Steel blade is done by using ANSYS Workbench software. Static structural analysis is used to determine stress, strain, deformation and displacement under static loading condition. The response of structure for dynamic loading is determined by modal analysis. It is used to determine the natural frequency and mode shape of vibration of any structure. This wind turbine is suitable to install in small houses in urban areas.

Semantic web is not just a matter of translation from HTML to RDF/OWL languages. It is a matter of understanding the content of the web through knowledge graphs. Entities need to be related with relationships. This content is composed of resources (web pages) that contain, for example, text, images and audio. Thus, there is the need of extracting entities from these resources. Currently, most of the web content is in HTML5 format which is a W3C recommendation which enables describing the structure marginally with the help of annotations. The main challenge here is to transform unstructured data from plain HTML files to structured data (e.g RDF or OWL). The current work provides the first hand information for dealing with unstructured heterogeneous data residing on web using Twinkle, a Java tool for SPARQL query execution on FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) document.

Structural Evaluation of pavements is essential to assess the structural strength of different layers of pavement. It also helps in determining the remaining life of a pavement and the thickness of overlay required. Surface Deflection is the structural response that is easy to measure and hence, commonly used parameter in structural evaluation. In the present study, an attempt has been made to develop a relationship between surface deflection and various structural parameters of pavements selected on low volume flexible rural roads in Himachal Pradesh. Benkelman Beam has been used to determine characteristic deflection on selected 12 rural road stretches in Shimla and Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. Because the conduction of Benkelman Beam Deflection (BBD) test is costly and difficult to carry out in the region of Himachal Pradesh due to hilly and narrow rural roads leading to disruption of traffic, hence, models have been developed to predict surface deflection value using Soaked CBR, Un-soaked CBR, Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) and Age of pavement from last overlay (in years). Another model has also been developed to estimate surface deflection using K-value, AADT and age of pavement. Multiple models have been developed using linear regression model. The various developed models have been studied, compared and best model is suggested supporting better coefficient of determination value and root mean square error (RMSE).

the increasing utilization of online content, provides a large amount of data resources. People share their experiences, opinions, as well as day to day activities. This results in a large amount of online data which attracts developers to carry out data mining and data analysis. Thus, there is a necessity of social media screening so as to obtain results which can be used for analysis. This paper presents a system, that facilitates the generation of single rating which is obtained by analysis of social media platforms. This rating is generated by carrying out various process like Data extraction, pre-processing, Data analysis, Rating Generation. "ROCIAL" means "Rating Socially", where each enrolled user will be rated upon his social conduct. The idea behind this initiative came up because of the present requirement for online screening. So, basically what our system would do is connect the user’s different social media accounts and analyze them using the criteria which are usually required during the screening process. The main application of our system is during visa allotment process where social media screening is used. So, rather than screening each and every platform individually, our system rocial can be used to generate a rating which will act as a criterion for visa allotment. Another significant application is during the recruitment process. Various companies check the candidate’s social media behavior as a secondary criterion for judging the person. Thus, using ROCIAL this can be obtained quickly and efficiently.

Steel structures are generally subjected to damages and defects due to different causes such as corrosion, fracture cracking, fire, buckling…etc. Damaged or defected parts may include girders, columns, welds, splices, base plates…etc. There is a wide range of techniques used for repair and strengthening starting with using protective coatings and ending up with full replacement of the damaged parts. Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) laminates are widely used now in the field of repair and strengthening of different types of structures (reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, masonry structures, timber structures….etc.). The main goal of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) laminates in repair and strengthening of steel beams (in both flexural and shear). A total of five box-section steel beams were tested in three point load flexure test to determine the stiffness and ultimate load carrying capacity of the strengthened and repaired beams using CFRP laminates and compare the obtained results for these beams with those of the fifth beam which used as a control beam (without CFRP laminates). Test results showed that the effectiveness of using CFRP laminates for repair and strengthening of steel beams depends mainly on the obtained modes of failure. Highest effectiveness was obtained in tension failure modes while almost no effectiveness obtained in compression failure modes.

Published: March 2020

Electrical power generated and transmitted at a long distance away from the power stations is usually affected by inherent transmission line losses. The Ohmic and Corona losses which are predominantly common in power transmission lines are considered in this paper. These two losses are mathematically modeled with and without embedded bundled conductors. The resultant model which is a non-linear multivariable unconstrained optimized equation is minimized using the Hessian matrix determinant method for stability test purposes. The results obtained show that corona losses are minimized with embedded bundled conductors at a very low current value with large spacing distance between the bundled conductors. The decrease in the corona loss which is a consequence of spacing adjustment of the 2, 3, and 4 strands of bundled conductors was plotted using MATLAB 7.14. The plots obtained are in conformity with the inverse relation between corona loss and conductor spacing.

As per the studies on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the major concern of WSN is network lifespan and Quality of Service (QoS) improvement as the sensor nodes are having limited processing and battery capabilities. The clustering based methods delivered improved performance compared to non-clustering methods, but cluster heads (CHs) suffered from the excessive load which leads more energy consumption of sensor nodes that becomes the CH in each interval. The mobile agent’s technology solves such problems. But using mobile agent’s leads problems of data security and unreliable communications in WSN. In this paper, we proposed novel mobile specialists based clustering protocol utilizing the adjusted particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm called Secure Mobile Agent based Clustering using modified PSO (SMACP). To optimize the clustering performance we design modified PSO based in CH selection and cluster formation performed efficiently. To secure data communications using the mobile agents, we applied the trust evaluation scheme to evaluate each mobile agents and sensors using parameters such as residual energy, distance, and packet forwarding probability. The simulation results computed for different WSNs in terms of energy efficiency, average throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), also, start to finish delay. The exhibition demonstrates that SMACP outperformed the previous methods effectively.

Authors: Agus R Abu Hasan
Published: March 2020

Tulisan ini akan membahas tentang dimensi spiritual yang dipegang oleh KH. Abdul Wahid Zaini Mun’im dalam mengembangkan lembaga pendidikan di Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid, Paiton. Kyai Wahid, begitu dia dipanggil akrab oleh para santrinya, adalah pengasuh ketiga dan perintis banyak lembaga pendidikan formal, lembaga swadaya dan pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis pesantren, serta lembaga pendidikan tinggi–bersama dengan kakaknya KH. Hasyim Zaini. Secara kepemimpinan, Kyai Wahid adalah sosok paling lengkap secara pengalaman individu; sempat berproses di Nahdlatul Ulama’, Partai Politik, dan juga di bidang pendidikan, dia sempat menempuh pendidikan doctoral, meski belum terselesaikan karena ‘kepundut’ lebih dulu. Apapun itu, Kyai Wahid adalah sosok yang lengkap untuk pengalaman individunya. Maka dari itu, ketika memimpin Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid, corak kepemimpinannya seperti within the flow of empowerment process. Kendati, ada pula yang menyebutkan bahwa kepemimpinan Kyai Wahid memiliki dimensi spiritual (dalam makna kegigihan secara religiusitas). Pada bagian inilah, penulis ingin mencoba untuk menghadirkan apa saja keyakinan-keyakinan spiritual dari Kyai Wahid dalam melakukan pengembangan profesionalitas civitas akademik dan membangun nilai keunggulan lembaga formal yang dipimpin dibawah naungan Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid.

Islamic-School, Micro-Politics And Type of Kyai’s Policy, Behaviorial Reaserch and Shifting Paradigm of Kyai Pesantren
Authors: Mulyadi Mulyadi
Published: March 2020

Artikel ini hadir untuk mereaktualisasi dan mereduksi paradigma baru kepemimpinan pesantren; yang sejatinya sudah banyak diteliti oleh para akademisi. Sebuah model kepemimpinan yang dipengaruhi oleh dua aspek penting; pertama, pengetahuan dan pengalaman manajerial kiai dalam mengelola lembaga pendidikan yang didirikannya. Kedua, diskursus model ideal pengembangan dan pengelolaan pendidikan pesantren, di era yang serba modern ini. Tulisan ini akan didekati menggunakan dua pendekatan teorik. Pertama, teori perilaku organisasi dan model-model kepemimpinan. Kedua, melalui teori antropologi kepemimpinan. Pendekatan teoritik kedua ini digunakan untuk mencari format ideal bagaimana semestinya kiai mengelola lembaga pendidikannya. Dari dua kerangka teoritik di atas, maka dihasilkan kesimpulan bahwa; kiai pada satu sisi – melalui pengalaman dan pemahaman manajeria terhadap perubahan sosial – bisa membangun sendiri lembaga pendidikannya, tanpa harus melihat perubahan di luar pesantren. Di pihak yang lain, sistem pengembangan budaya kolaborasi, baik internal maupun eksternal, harus juga dibangun untuk membentuk pesantren yang bertahan dari gempuran modernis. Dengan syarat, kolaborasi ini dibingkai melalui kepemimpinan yang berintegritas, konsisten, dan profetik.
