A New Scheduling Algorithm for Shortening Response Time of Static Priority Task
Authors: Suzuki Takaharu , Tanaka Kiyofumi
Published: June 2022

In scheduling algorithms based on the Rate Monotonic (RM) method which are widely used in development of real-time systems, tasks with shorter periods have higher priorities. In contrast, ones with longer periods are likely to suffer from increased response times and jitter due to their lower priorities. We propose an Execution Right Delegation (ERD) method based on RM where a high-priority server for particular (or important) task is introduced to shorten response time and jitter of the task. In the evaluation, it is confirmed that response times and jitter of a particular (important) task are reduced. We also show Response Time Analysis (RTA), which assures worst-case response time of the task. This paper shows the algorithm and RTA of ERD and evaluates it by comparing it to a Deadline Monotonic method. The evaluation by simulation shows that ERD can reduce the average worst-case response time by 13.45% at maximum compared to the Deadline Monotonic scheduling. In addition, we confirm that the RTA provides a worst-case response time close to the simulation results.
Two-Dimensional Error Correction Code for Spin-Transfer Torque Magnetic Random-Access Memory (STT-MRAM) Caches
Authors: Duangthong Chatuporn , Supnithi Pornchai , Phakphisut Watid
Published: June 2022

Spin-Transfer Torque Magnetic Random-Access Memory (STT-MRAM) is an emerging nonvolatile memory (NVM) technology that can replace conventional cache memory in computer systems. STT-RAM has many desirable properties such as high writing and reading speed, non-volatility, and low power consumption. Since the cache requires a high speed of writing and reading speed, a single-error correction and double error detection (SEC - DED) are applicable to improve the reliability of the cache. However, the process variation and thermal fluctuation of STT-MRAM cause errors. For example, writing ‘1’ bits has more errors than writing ‘0’ bits. We then design the weight reduction code to reduce the error caused by writing ‘1’ bits. Moreover, the performance of an SEC-DED code is improved by constructing an SED-DED code as the product code. The simulation results demonstrate that the two-dimensional error correction code consisting of product code and weight reduction code is roughly 5.67 × 10−4 lower than the SEC-DED code when the error rate of writing ‘1’ bits is equal to 6 × 10−3.
Synchrophasor-Based Online Transient Stability Assessment Using Regression Models
Authors: Chandrashekhar P. K. , Srivani S. G.
Published: June 2022

An online post-fault transient stability assessment method is proposed in this study using synchrophasor or PMU measurements. Initially, a post-fault multimachine system is converted into a suitable one machine infinite bus (OMIB) system using the single machine equivalent (SIME) method. Thus, the  - trajectory obtained through the OMIB system enabled a normalized transient stability index to be calculated offline. By using synchrophasor measurements before and during the fault as inputs, the regression model can be trained offline to predict the normalized stability margins. Following a fault, the synchrophasor measurements are used as input to this trained model for online stability margin prediction. If the predicted margin is negative, then the post-fault power system is indicated to be unstable. Alternatively, positive values for the predicted margin identify the system as stable. The proposed assessment method is verified using the New England (NE) 39 bus test system. The results obtained are then compared with offline simulations.

This work describes the procedure for determining the expected values of UAV radio-heat contrasts () and discusses its angular dependences, as well as the estimation of UAV detection distances at four points cm and mm ranges (12 GHz, 20 GHz, 34 GHz, and 94 GHz). This paper reveals the pronounced frequency dependence on brightness temperature () and  of a fiberglass unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) made from composite fiberglass materials. The quantified experiments are conducted against a sky background under various weather conditions and wave ranges. The qualitative physical interpretation of these properties and their frequency dependence is proposed, reflecting the coefficient values and radio brightness of the background. The weak influence of weather on the observed UAVs in the X and Ku bands are demonstrated along with the multiple decreasing detection characteristics and advantages of the W band under bad weather conditions (the appearance of rain or thick cloud). This work presents data on the values of UAV contrasts, observed against the background of the sky and the regularities noted could be useful for predicting the effectiveness of the proposed radiometric detection and tracking system.

Published: June 2022

This paper presents a self-tuning fuzzy logic speed controller (FLSC) with model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for an induction motor (IM) drive system. The MRAC is examined by output scaling the factor tuner for optimum motor speed performance. A detailed investigation is carried out on the scaling factor control of the input change error and main FLSC output increment. This proposed method utilizes seven simplified rules of the 5 × 5 matrix membership functions to minimize the computational burden and memory space limitations. All simulation work is conducted using Simulink and Fuzzy Tools in the MATLAB software and the experimental testing with the aid of a digital signal controller board, dSPACE DS1103. Based on the results, the output scaling factor makes a more significant impact on the performance effect compared to the input error scaling factor. The input change error and output SF also exhibit similar behavior, indicating that a large range of UoD tuners works well in terms of capability load rejection while a small range of UoD tuners performs well in terms of rise time. The analysis includes no-load and load tests to ascertain the overshoot percentage, rise time, and settling time for transient and steady-state conditions.
Development of Open Switch Fault-Tolerant Capability in CCS-MLI Topology
Authors: Kumar Dhananjay , Nema Rajesh Kumar , Gupta Sushma , Dewangan Niraj Kumar
Published: June 2022

Multilevel inverters (MLIs) are very popular in renewable energy applications and other DC to AC conversion systems due to their reliability, reduced voltage stress, low total harmonic distortion (THD), reduced filter size, low electromagnetic interference, etc. Consequently, the photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, mainly installed in remote areas, require highly reliable systems. The high failure rate of sources and power semiconductor devices results in very low reliability for inverters used in PV generation systems. The aim of this study is to develop a five-level MLI topology with fault-tolerant (FT) characteristics. Therefore, a highly resilient fault-tolerance topology, based on a cross-connected source-based MLIs (CCS-MLI) structure, is proposed in this paper. The developed CCS-MLI topology can tolerate open switch faults in any single switch failure. The proposed system and results developed in a MATLAB/Simulink environment are discussed under normal and faulty states. The simulation results are validated experimentally. Finally, the quantitative and qualitative superiority of the proposed CCS-MLI is demonstrated through the comparative analysis of other recent topologies.

Authors: Boonyapakdee Nattapon
Published: June 2022

The all-electric ship (AES) offers new hope for the reduction of fuel consumption and carbon emissions. To fully exploit the photovoltaics (PVs) installed on the AES, the two-axis solar tracker is proposed to find the best tilt and surface azimuth angles of PV panels. The tilt angle is computed by particle swarm optimization (PSO) regarding the time and ship location. The surface azimuth angle is adjusted according to the hemisphere. The dynamic performance of the proposed solar tracker is evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink simulation. According to the simulation results, the proposed solar tracker can obtain maximum energy all day, while the voyage time, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions are significantly reduced. Moreover, the proposed solar tracker can effectively operate under communication delay caused by the global positioning system (GPS).

Published: June 2022

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a measurement that reflects the overall electrical activity in the brain. EEG signals are effective for biometric authentication and robust against malware attacks and any kind of fraud activities due to the uniqueness of the signals. Significant progress in research on EEG-based authentication has been achieved in the last few years, with machine learning being extensively used for classifying EEG signals. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no investigation into the overall progress made in such research. In this paper, the literature on the various factors involved in state-of-the-art biometric authentication systems is reviewed. We provide a thorough comparison of different machine learning biometric authentication techniques. The comparison criteria include the research objectives, machine learning algorithms, computational complexity, source of brainwaves, feature extraction methods, number of channels, and so on. Alongside the discussion of existing works, directions for future research are suggested to improve authentication accuracy. This paper provides an in-depth discussion of different advanced biometric authentication techniques, and a vivid picture of state-of-the-art machine learning-based biometric authentication techniques using EEG.
Performance of DSSS Signal Transmission with SCM over Low-Frequency MMF Passbands
Authors: Patmanee Jaruwat , Kanprachar Surachet
Published: June 2022

The transmission of a high data rate signal over low-frequency passbands of multimode fibers is studied in this paper. The subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) technique is applied to mitigate the frequency-selective nature of the passbands, at which many nulls can degrade the signal transmission. The subcarrier frequencies must be chosen appropriately, especially for some low-frequency passbands; otherwise, poorly received subcarrier signals will be obtained, affecting the entire transmission. Rather than transmitting many subcarrier signals over these passbands, the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique can be adopted. In this work, a high data rate signal is transmitted over 1 km of multimode fiber using the 3-dB modal band and six other low-frequency passbands. The signal is separated into four sub-signals transmitted over four different channels: the 3-dB modal band, two low-frequency passbands, and one passband (containing four low-frequency passbands). In the last passband, the sub-signal is transmitted using the DSSS, while the other sub-signals are transmitted through amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation. The performance of the system is determined using the bit error rate (BER). The findings reveal that by applying the DSSS to some low-frequency passbands, robustness is obtained in the subcarrier frequency for use in the DSSS passband. A BER lower than 10-9 with a total data rate of 600 Mbps is achieved. This data rate is three times higher than the data rate obtained by the 3-dB modal band. This performance is achieved without applying any error-correction code.

Published: June 2022

This article presents the application of a complete methodology to predict the photovoltaic potential using solar panels on the facades of residential buildings in Biskra (Algeria). A theoretical study conducted on a representative urban residential area in Biskra as an example of the applicability of the methodology.It is based on the determination of the PV installations for the typical facade of the buildings, taking into account the architectural and technical aspects, the solar radiation on each facade is calculated by simulating the path of the sun throughout the year.The proposed solutions are then evaluated using a dynamic energy simulation to determine the most efficient ones, resulting in the potential to exploit PV and solar energy generation. The finding is the gap between the architectural availability and the overall solar suitability of the facade surfaces, and this difference is based on the following main factors: the high density of the built environment composed of high-rise street canyons and aspect ratio, the changing direction of buildings, and finally classified buildings, with complex geometry. The aim of this work is to discuss the potential of facades and other vertical elements for the photovoltaic potential of solar panels on buildings located in semi-arid regions.

Authors: Kalelioğlu Sezgi , Dokuzer Öztürk Leyla
Published: June 2022

In museum exhibition halls, two-dimensional artworks are displayed usually on vertical surfaces. The uniformity of illuminance distribution in the exhibition area is significant. The control of the illuminance distribution depends on the dimensions of the exhibition hall, the size and location of the exhibition area, and the type, luminous intensity distribution, and position of the luminaire. This study aims to identify the optimal conditions to acquire the targeted illuminance uniformity. For this purpose, sixteen situations were composed concerning four different heights of the exhibition hall and four exhibition areas of various sizes. The luminaires used in the investigation were small and linear with symmetrical and asymmetrical luminous intensity distributions. The position of each luminaire was arranged in the mentioned sixteen situations to obtain optimum conditions. The comparison of the results referred to the energy consumption.

Authors: Djarir Yahiaoui , Saadi Mohamed
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the behaviour of combined horizontal and vertical accelerations on the seismic response of reinforced concrete resting on shallow foundations. Five and nine-storey buildings are considered to represent low- and medium- rise buildings. The building was assumed to be founded on shallow foundation with soil class corresponding to soft soil deposits, the soil of foundation was modelled by an equivalent massless spring coupled with a gap. The accelergrams used in this investigation in the nonlinear range are the horizontal and vertical components of the New Hall earthquake. Although most building codes postulate that SSI generally decreases the force demand of buildings, and increases the deformation demand, it was found that the inclusion of the vertical ground motion with SSI, the horizontal displacement are decreased compared to the case with only the horizontal component.

The cisterns, which were built under the ground to meet the city's water needs, are cultural heritage historical structures that have lost their original functions today. Re-functioning historical buildings that lost their function in the process and contributing to urban life has been practiced in Turkey as well as in the world in recent years. The historical Şerefiye Cistern, a Byzantine water structure on the Historic Peninsula in Istanbul, was restored and re-functionalized in 2017 and opened to use as a cultural building. The aim of this study is to examine the Şerefiye Cistern in the context of reuse. The architecture of the Şerefiye Cistern, which could not maintain its original function, was compared before and after the restoration. After the restoration, a partial modern addition was made to the building. In the study, the socio-economic and cultural benefits of physical intervention in the cistern were questioned. After all; It has been seen that the reuse concept applied to the building both ensures its own sustainability and has positive effects on the historical environment in which it is located.

Authors: Mansouri Tarek , Benabid Abderahmane , Saadi Mohamed , Benaicha Amar Cherif
Published: June 2022

Owing to the comeback of small-scale models, this paper presents results of an experimental study based on the effect of underground circular voids on strip footing placed on the edge of a cohesionless slope and subjected to eccentric loads. The bearing capacity-settlement relationship of footing on the slope and impact of diverse variables are expressed using dimensionless parameters such as the top vertical distance of the void from the base of footing, horizontal space linking the void-footing centre, and load eccentricity. The results verified that the stability of strip footing is influenced by the underground void, as well as the critical depth between the soil and top layer of the void. The critical horizontal distancebetween the void and the centre were also affected by the underground void. Furthermore, the results also verified that the influence of the void appeared insignificant when it was positioned at a depth or eccentricity equal to twice the width of footing.

Although Theater activities inject a significant effect on outdoor public affairs, local urban planners do not sufficiently consider such impact while designing a new civic theater in Habiganj, a growing sub-urban district of Bangladesh. Incoherent theater buildings in such urban areas fail to engage people with theater at large, in consequence, the act of theater remains incomplete. The research was conducted through a semi structured interview, social demographic data analysis, case studies, technical aspects and literature survey providing the anthropomorphic image of a theater as an embodied space, elementary spaces of theater and affordable & inclusive theatrical form as major findings. A regional model is driven from the research for local theater (different types of performing spaces) practice that can guide future municipal theater planning for theater to sustain among society & people.

Assessing The Role of Natural Soundscapes in Urban Areas and Role of Landscape in Bringing Back the Lost Voices of Nature
Authors: Kavuri Maneesha Keerthi
Published: June 2022

Nature made every living being on earth to communicate and get lost in its voices. Imagining nature without its voices is impossible as everything in this world communicates and is interconnected. Landscape acts as a connecting link for the sounds of nature and organisms. “Cities” the hubs for the noises in this world are muting the nature’s hum. By muting un-wanted noises one can re-hear nature’s sounds. The inter-dependency of everything in this nature, either a living or a non-living thing is making these sounds possible. The ecological settings for any ecosystem are organised which enable to communicate to the other. When the system is disturbed, it faces an immense effect and creates communication gap between the living and the non-living things. The study focuses on the sources of nature’s sounds, noise causes that deplete nature's voices and the proposals of possibilities to overcome the loss of Natural-Soundscapes.
A felügyelet és az integritás lehetséges interferenciái
Authors: Héder Klára
Published: June 2022

Aim: In the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (2020-2022) issued in 2020, the Government declared zero tolerance for corruption. This complex value-based anti-corruption approach places great emphasis on several approaches. These are, public service in accordance with the law, upholding the progress that has been achieved in combating corruption so far, strengthening resilience to corruption, and the development of individual and organizational integrity as well.Methodology: However, the combined use of anti-corruption and integrity-focused tools can also lead to the emergence of interference that greatly degrades the effects of different tools in combination with each other. These interactions can not only reduce the results of individually effective methods, but also make it difficult to interpret the real results of combined approaches and to plan further actions.Findings: The present paper, as a thought experiment, would like to draw attention to the phenomenon by presenting five such possible interference effects. It presents surveillance measures that result in decreased intrinsic motivation and the possibility of a temporary change in behavior; the dangers of undifferentiated use of inadequate methods for organizations and individuals; the secrecy of the reasons behind law-abiding behavior; the negative emotional effects of strong supervision; and possible anomalies in training development as well as draws attention to the importance of further empirical research on the issue. The combined use of different tools of a complex, value-based anti-corruption approach is now inevitable, and the targeted and differentiated use of different methods contributes greatly to the common social goal of curbing corruption and strengthening organizational and individual integrity. However, recognizing and taking steps to eliminate efficiency-reducing interferences between commonly used methods may be a cardinal question for success.Value: The key to the success of anti-corruption action is the structured analysis of existing law enforcement efforts, effective evaluation of results and systemwide planning.

We present a self-consistent model of the Milky Way to reproduce the observed distributions (spectral type, absolute J-band magnitude, effective temperature) and total velocity dispersion of brown dwarfs. For our model, we adopt parametric forms for the star formation history and initial-mass function, published evolutionary models, and theoretical age–velocity relations. Using standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, we derive a power-law index of the initial-mass function of α = −0.71 ± 0.11, which is an improvement over previous studies. We consider a gamma-function form for the star formation history, though we find that this complex model is only slightly favored over a declining exponential. We find that a velocity variance that linearly increases with age and has an initial value of

km s−1 best reproduces the total velocity dispersions. Given the similarities to main-sequence stars, this suggests brown dwarfs likely form via similar processes, but we recognize that the sizable uncertainties on σ
0 preclude firm conclusions. To further refine these conclusions, we suggest that wide-field infrared imaging or low-resolution spectroscopic surveys, such as with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope or Euclid, could provide large samples of brown dwarfs with robust spectral types that could probe the thickness of the thin disk. In this way, the number counts and population demographics could probe the same physical processes as with the kinematic measurements, however may provide larger samples and be subject to different selection biases.

BACKGROUND: The Maternity Planning and Complications in Prevention (MPCP) program aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates in Indonesia and it is implemented in Bojonegoro Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. This program’s optimum implication is determined by community participation and cross-sector cooperation.

AIM: This study aims to analyze the influence of social capital, community development, and prepared village with MPCP on the behavior of pregnant women’s preparedness in Tanjungharjo Community Health Centre, Bojonegoro Regency.

METHODS: This is an observational analytical research with a cross-sectional design. The population is the community with 133 respondents selected through simple random sampling. The multiple logistic regression test was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS: Community development affects the preparedness behavior of pregnant women with p = 0.042, OR = 4.926 and prepared village with MPCP with p = 0.026, OR of 2.688.

CONCLUSIONS: Community development is the most influencing factor in the preparedness behavior of pregnant women.

Published: June 2022

Background: Postoperative ileus is a complication that may result in the longer duration of stay and decreases the quality of life of patients. Previous studies have found some factors related to postoperative ileus. This study aimed to determine the risk factor of postoperative ileus in laparotomic resection and anastomosis surgery.
Methods: Patients who underwent laparotomic resection and anastomosis surgery during January 2019 – July 2020 were included. Postoperative ileus was diagnosed in fourth day after surgery. The variables included in this study are age, gender, BMI, pathology site, duration of surgery, type of anastomosis, length of resection.
Result: Fifty laparotomic resection and anastomosis surgery patients were included in this study, 50% of subjects is patients with postoperative ileus. Patient aged 65 years old or older had a higher incidence postoperative ileus (68% vs 28%; RR 2.3 95% CI: 1.23-4.33; p value: 0.010). Study also found duration of surgery 180 minutes or longer also had higher incidence postoperative ileus (79% vs 36%; RR: 2.49 95% CI: 1.20-5.15; p value: 0.010).
Conclusion: This study concludes that age 65 years old or older and duration of surgery 180 minutes or longer are significant risk factor to postoperative ileus in laparotomic resection and anastomosis surgery patients.

BACKGROUND: Maternal and infant mortality is a global health problem, the direct cause of which is malnutrition. Dietary supplements and vegetables are mandatory to support the nutritional needs of pregnant women. Moringa oleifera and pumpkin seeds contain many nutrients, and the price is relatively cheap; therefore, they are very good for consumption by pregnant women. The aim of the study was to find literature on the effect of pumpkin seed biscuits and moringa capsules on the effects of malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and birth outcomes of pregnant women.

AIM: The objective of the study was to review journals related to the effect of pumpkin seed biscuits and moringa capsules on (MDA) levels and birth outcomes of pregnant women.

METHODS: Study literature by collecting relevant journal data based on PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest.

RESULTS: supplementary food that is cheap and easily available to pregnant women by giving pumpkin seeds and moringa leaf extract has an impact on improving nutritional status and preventing such as low birth weight (LBW). Moreover, the result found that food ingredients from pumpkin seeds and moringa have high nutritional value and are very beneficial for pregnant and lactating women.

CONCLUSION: The screened articles with inclusion and exclusion criteria support and recommend additional nutrients such as Moringa oleifera and pumpkin seeds to pregnant women. These two foods directly contribute to the prevention of MDA which causes stress, preeclampsia, LBW babies, severe anemia, babies growth and development, as well as maternal and babies mortality.
Assessment of the Level of Protein C in Hospitalized Iraqi Patients with COVID-19 and its Correlation with Hematological and Inflammatory Markers

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 coagulopathy manifests by elevation of certain marker of active coagulation as fibrinogen and this increment associated with increased markers of inflammations.

AIM: To measure protein C (PC) level in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and to find a possible correlation with hematological and inflammatory markers.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventy-five hospitalized Iraqi adult patients with COVID-19 were included in a descriptive cross-sectional research. PC, D-dimer, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) blood samples were collected, and further information was received from patient’s records. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 23 and Microsoft Office Excel 2019.

RESULTS: Mean age of 75 patients included in the study was 60.13 ± 14.65 years. Sixty-two (62.7%) of patients exhibited neutrophilia, whereas 41 had lymphopenia (54.7%). High ratio of neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) was seen in 66 (88.0%), eosinopenia was seen in 46 (61.3%), high lactate dehydrogenase level was seen 68 (90.7%), serum ferritin was high in 66 (88.0%), and high level of C-reactive protein was seen in 68 (90.7%), increased ESR was seen in 69 (92.0%) and high level of D-dimer was seen in 56 (74.7%), while low level of PC was seen in 12 (16.0%) patients. PC had significant negative correlation with prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time but no significant correlation with hematological and inflammatory parameters.

CONCLUSION: COVID-19 coagulopathy is common in majority of patients which include significant changes in WBCs counts, inflammatory markers, PC, and D-dimer levels. Such changes may have a great impact on morbidity and mortality and thus need to be monitored throughout treatment and convalescence.
