Analysis and Prediction of Cogging Torque and ripples in output Torque of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor and Line Start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Authors: Et.al Ravisankar B
Published: April 2021

Permanent magnet (PM) motors are rapidly replacing the squirrel cage induction motors for its energy efficient operation, smooth control and high power density. Although PM Motors are energy efficient, they are inherently affected by cogging torque and torque ripple. Magnetic alignment between teeth of stator and permanent magnet of rotors produce cogging torque. Torque ripple is a dynamic oscillation during steady-steady operation which leads to various mechanical anomalies like vibration, noise and rotor stress. Torque ripple is produced in PM motors because of non-sinusoidal distribution of flux, saturation, improper selection of slots etc., these ill effects will deteriorate the starting and steady-state performance of motors. So it is very vital to make analysis and prediction of cogging torque and torque ripples to make the motor more effective. Now a day's minimizing the torque ripples and cogging torque are gaining importance in PM motor designs. In this proposed work, the cogging torque analysis and torque ripple analysis of permanent magnet motor and line start permanent magnet motor has been done and reported.

Authors: Et. al. Ria Ambrocio Sagum, MCS
Published: April 2021

Recognition of license plate is the process of wherein photographic video or images of license plates are being captured and then processed using an application that implements series of algorithms that will provide the alpha numeric conversion of the captured data. In this study, the researchers developed a license plate recognition that incorporates image deblurring to accommodate multiple recognition from video sequences. The approach uses Background Subtraction and Connected Component Analysis for the detection of license plates, Image deblurring to enhance the image and reduce the difficulties in recognition, and LBP Cascade Classifier was implemented for recognition of characters. Since multiple detection for license plate produces different difficulties such as motion blur and camera angle view the approach attempts to minimize the effects of these problems while still being applicable to multiple detection. 30 videos with 3 minutes length each of actual traffic situation were gathered and recorded at the footbridge of UP Ayala Technohub, Commowealth Ave. Quezon City, Philippines and 10 of these videos were used as input for the testing and experiment of the system. The accuracy for plate detection were computed using F-measure which yields to 87.32% for both system with image deblurring and none, while the accuracy for character recognition is 62.66% for system with image deblurring and 48.25% for the system without image deblurring. The result shows that there is a significant difference in the accuracy of license plate recognition between the system with image deblurring and without image deblurring

Authors: Et. al. Shweta Dhondse
Published: April 2021

Image inpainting is a process of reconstructing damaged or missing part of an image. Initially the work of restoration was performed by skilled artists and was limited to paintings and other artwork of eminence but this process was very tedious and strenuous and therefore digital image inpainting was introduced. The application of inpainting in reconstruction of heritage images is garnering a lot of attention from researchers. The reconstruction of heritage images using inpainting poses a challenging task because of its very high resolution and high meaning full structure content. In traditional exemplar based algorithms the patch with the minimum distance or high similarity may not always be the best match patch.   One of the characteristic functions of the Intuitionistic fuzzy set is its definition of degree of hesitancy. In the proposed paper this concept is used to find best exemplars. The mathematical model of intuitionistic fuzzy set is studied and a modified exemplar algorithm based on Intuitionistic fuzzy sets is proposed to solve image inpainting problem. The proposed intuitionistic based inpainting algorithm is applied to heritage images. The results are compared with existing and earlier proposed algorithms on the basis of subjective inpainting quality assessment method

The Impact of Project Performance on Customer Satisfaction
Authors: Et. al. Ahmad Syamil
Published: April 2021

Project management performance, which means the overall capability of the performing project team to deliver the project to satisfy the customer’s requirements, has always been considered as one major key in achieving customer satisfaction, especially in a business-to-business organizational relationship. In this research, the researchers tried to find out how project performance actually impacts upon customer satisfaction. The project performance consisted of variables project scope management performance, project schedule management performance, project cost management performance, project human resource management performance, project risk management performance, project quality management performance, project communication management performance and project stakeholders management performance.

Method.

This research used quantitative approach. Data is collected through questionnaire distribution to companies in Jakarta and Bandung. Samples are respondent’s representative of companies, hold managerial position or decision maker. From around 400 distrubuted questionnaire, this researched managed to collect 112 valid response from 112 companies. Data is analyzed its validity and reliability and hypotheses testing employ regression analysis with SPSS software.

Findings

The research found that, In Indonesia, especially for the private sectors (93% of the respondents came from the private sectors, and only 7% come from public sectors), only four variables, which were project schedule, cost, human resources and risk management performance that significantly affected customer satisfaction. When the researcher interviewed 20 of the respondents most of them were the upper management in their organization, and most of them agreed on these findings.

One of the most acknowledged reason for this is because most of the projects in the respondents’ projects were triggered by senior management decisions rather than fulfilling the organizations’ needs or the project deliverables’ users. These users were the ones who actually would use the project deliverables either in the form of products, applications, SOPs or even services. It was a very interesting finding, that many organizations actually conducted projects without actually needing the project’s outcomes. An organization should create a project to support its program, portfolio, vision and mission.

To Be or Not To Be A Citizen: Young People Talks about Everyday Experiences of Citizenship in Malaysia
Authors: Et.al Noor Banu Mahadir
Published: April 2021

Citizenship is generally understood as an adult experience. Being young is seen as a transitional stage between 'childhood' and 'adulthood ' where young people either learn about becoming adults or where they pass through certain 'rites of passage'. This paper draws on some of the findings from a larger project on citizenship and citizenship education experiences among student teachers in multi-ethnic Malaysia. This article attempts to explore the citizenship experiences through the student teachers participation during the community service placement and their understanding of good citizens in multi-ethnic culture. It also intends to explore the young generations’ point of view as being citizens of Malaysia, such as their rights and duties, how they perceived good and bad citizenship and how they understand the language of citizenship. In the spirit of ethnographic design, twenty eight multi-ethnic student teachers (year 2 and year 4) who enrolled into citizenship and citizenship education course in Sultan Idris Education University (SIEU) had been interviewed and observed at university and on placement. The data was analysed using a thematic analysis.The findings revealed that student teachers ‘lived citizenship’ marked comprehensive yet complex elements of citizenship. They have clear understandings of citizenship in ‘Malaysian way’ that pointed more towards communitarian than liberal or civic-republican citizenship paradigms. They drew clear distinctions between what it means to be a ‘good’ and a ‘bad ‘citizen’. They also underlined how everyday understandings of citizenship can have both inclusionary and exclusionary implications. Further study need to be done as some of student teachers faced difficulty articulating their rights than their responsibilities.

Sexual Harrassment at Workplace: A Need for aSpecific Law in Malaysia

Published: April 2021

In Malaysia, there has appeared no specific and comprehensive legislation deals with sexual harassment in the workplace yet. Unlike other illegal behaviors such as rape and domestic violence, sexual harassment has seemingly been regarded as a mere workplace problem and hence given less attention by lawmakers and the government. The studies in 2019 show that 60% of people from various work fields reported that they experienced and were the victims of sexual harassment within the workplace setting in Malaysia. The report also indicates that the leader at their workplace or someone superior usually committed the harassment and sometimes their colleague did such act. Indeed, sexual harassment is conduct where males play a vital role as a harasser, but it is undeniable that men are also likely to be sexually harassed. Despite the provision in the Penal Code, Employment Act 1955, and Code of Practice on the Prevention and Eradication of Sexual Harassment in the workplace, the number of cases is still on the rise. Given the extent of the problem, the objective of this paper is to examine the existing legal provision in Malaysia governing sexual harassment and the judicial approach in dealing with sexual harassment cases in Malaysia. The authors contend the need for a specific law to address the sexual harasment in Malaysia, considering the insufficiency and inefficiency of the available legislative provisions.
