Together with quality power supply criteria, Composite Power System (CPS) reliability is also one of the important aspects of deciding the security of the CPS for a given load demand. In the current paper, the reliability of CPS is evaluated. The Newton Raphson (NR) approach is implemented in Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSSE) software to take into account, the load flows, then the power available to the load points, to evaluate the reliability of CPS. Newton Raphson NR Method was implemented by considering different contingencies of the CPS. Power available to the load points obtained by the NR method is critical in identifying the successful operating state of the CPS. Expected Load Curtailment (ELC), Number of Load Curtailment (NLC), Expected Energy Not Supplied (EENS), and Severity Index (SI) are the crucial dependability indices that are assessed. The main objective of the Reliability evaluation of the CPS is to investigate the scope for the improvement of reliability and explore the possible schemes to improve CPS reliability. The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) one of the Flexible AC Transmission Systems is incorporated into the CPS to analyze the improvement in the reliability of the system. Further, the effect of UPFC on the power-carrying capacity of the lines under contingency conditions, resulting in the failure mode of CPS operation is examined. Improvement in the reliability indices of the system is observed due to UPFC incorporation.

The world's growing economy and demographic advancement are driving an increase in global energy demand. As worries about carbon emissions grow and the demand for electrical energy production continues to rise, it is necessary to develop new methods of electricity production. Fuel cell energy system is one of the promising factors for addressing this problem due to its low emissions, easy accessibility, and fuel flexibility. In this paper, a mathematical model of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is designed and used as an input for the KY converter. As the output voltage of the fuel cell is low, a KY Converter is desired to raise the output voltage for required applications. To regulate the electrical output voltage of the KY Converter, PID, Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), hybrid fuzzy PID, and an ANFIS feedback control mechanism have been simulated and investigated. The function of a fuel cell with a KY Converter, as well as state-space modelling, is developed. The Ziegler-Nichols technique is used to determine the gain parameters of a PID controller, which are Kp, Ki, and Kd. The fuel cell with a Closed-loop system of KY converter is developed using MATLAB/Simulink software. Thus, the fuel cell power system can be used for a variety of applications, including rural and military.

The use of an electric vehicle (EV) in place of an internal combustion engine reduces pollution and produces zero emissions. EVs need considerable electrical energy from the grid, and therefore it is necessary to evaluate the performance of the radial distribution system, including the Electrical Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) load. The future EVCS load is forecasted using Holt's model, and then it is applied uniformly to the distribution system. This increases the magnitudes of currents, which are calculated using the backward and forward sweep method of load flow analysis. The increased magnitude of current moderates the operating temperature of the components and results in an increase in the average failure rate of feeder line sections. The percentage change in the average failure rate is assumed to be directly proportional to the percentage change in current, which in turn affects reliability indices such as SAIDI and ENS. The reliability analysis needs proper modelling of loads on the system and is taken as light and heavy load, considered this as two load model. The existing load without EVs of the distribution system is taken as a light load and the future load including the EV load during the charging period (5hrs) on the distribution system is taken as a heavy load. In this paper, the reliability indices of a radial distribution feeder are calculated for different cases like without EV load, with EV load and for different percentages of faults during EV load duration and the results are compared. This work is validated on IEEE33 standard distribution system.

Image Retrieval is the process of retrieving images from the image/multimedia databases. Retrieval of images are carried out with various types of queries, free-form query is a text-query that consists of single or multiple keywords and/or concepts or descriptions of images with or without the inclusion of wild-card characters and/or punctuations. This work aims to handle image retrieval based on free-form text queries. Simple & complex queries of conceptual descriptions of images are explored and an intelligent processing system with free-form queries based on the Bag-of-Words model is modified and built for natural scene images and on Diverse Social Images using the Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance measure. The efficacy of the proposed system is evaluated by testing 1500 free-form text queries and has resulted in a recall accuracy of 91.3% on natural scene images (of Wang/Corel database) and 100% on Diverse Social Images (of DIV400 dataset). These results show that the system proposed has produced satisfactory performance compared to published results such as the harmonic mean of precision and recall (i.e. F1-Score) of 76.70% & 63.32% at retrieval of 20 images etc in reported works.

SOCIAL DISTANCE MONITORING USING A LOW-COST 3D SENSOR
Authors: Hossen Amran
Published: June 2023

With its devastating spread, the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has caused devastation worldwide. Due to the lack of successful restorative medications as well as the shortage of vaccinations against the virus, the communities have been left highly vulnerable. While a handful of countries have vaccinated the majority of their populations, for many countries, the virus still presents a big challenge. Social distancing is considered to be an effective preventative measure against the transmission of the pandemic virus, and virus propagation can be considerably curbed by preventing physical contact between individuals. The objective of this work is, therefore, to provide a depth image-based and cost-effective method for social distance monitoring. A widely used human detection algorithm from depth images has been used to estimate body joint position in real-time. To approximate social distance violations between individuals, the distance between individuals can be estimated, and then, compared to a predefined threshold. Outcomes of the work indicate that the proposed method can successfully identify individuals who violate the social distancing rules, with over 98% detection accuracy. The results are significant, as it can be implemented to assist enforcement agencies to ensure that social distancing rule is abided by the population, to limit the spread of COVID-19 among the population.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease due to smoking. It is avertable as well as treatable. COPD is a one of the main cause of morbidity and mortality affecting developed and developing countries. We aim to estimate burden of anemia at a tertiary care public sector hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study, done at JPMC Karachi in 2014. All COPD patients admitted in medicine and pulmonology departments were enrolled in this study. After informed consent, data of complete blood count was accessed from medical record and anemia was labeled as per operational definition. Data analyzed by SPSS version 16.0. Frequency and percentage proportion of qualitative variables, mean and standard deviation of numerical values were calculated with P value <0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Of 137 cases, 118(86.13%) were males and 19(13.87%) were females while male to female ratio was 6.2: 1. The average age and weight of the patients was 58.31±12.17 years and 59.36±10.56kg, similarly average duration of disease and hemoglobin of the patients was 5.69±4.42 years and 12.34±1.58 mg/dl respectively. 37.96% (52/137) patients were anemic in our study. Rate of anemia in COPD patients was not significant among age groups (p=0.076) and with duration of disease (p=0.22). Conclusion: Anemia seems to be a common feature in COPD (37.96%), mechanisms involved in the genesis of anemia in COPD are poorly studied. Low hemoglobin level can have adverse effects on certain respiratory parameters in COPD, increasing morbidity and mortality.

Published: June 2023

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Unlike most other cancers, HCC can be diagnosed solely on imaging for high-risk patients. However, this is frequently complicated by atypical or indeterminate features necessitating biopsy or close follow-up with serial imaging. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to allow for more accurate tumour classification and, thus, avoid unnecessary biopsies. Additionally, earlier diagnosis opens up the potential for curative therapies and improves patient outcomes. A number of artificial intelligence models, including machine learning, convolutional neural networks and radiomics-based models have been tested on ultrasound, CT and MRI images of liver lesions. The following review will outline the most impactful papers in this field.

To evaluate handgrip strength (HGS) as a diagnostic tool for frailty risk in elderly patients with asthma, as well as to investigate the prevalence of frailty in this population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 96 patients = 60 years of age diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma and treated at a tertiary referral center in Brazil. We measured HGS using a calibrated hydraulic hand dynamometer. We used a frailty scale and the AUC to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the HGS test. Results: The median age of participants was 67 years. Most (78%) were women and non-White (91%) of low socioeconomic status. HGS identified those at risk for frailty, with an AUC of 71.6% (61.5-80.4%; p < 0.002), as well as a sensitivity of 73.58% and a specificity of 67.53%, on the basis of a cutoff of = 19 kgf. Conclusions: HGS appears to be a simple, reliable tool for clinicians to determine frailty risk in older asthma patients in a point-of-care setting.

Neste trabalho foram executadas técnicas de extração de características a partir da análise de textura, espalhamento e distribuição estatística dos níveis de cinza das imagens dos trilhos. As características extraídas serviram de dados de entrada para um classificador de Máquina de Vetores de Suporte SVM. O método de classificação proposto atingiu uma acurácia média de 95,74% e uma precisão média de 96,21%. Os resultados alcançados mostram que a ferramenta proposta é promissora e pode ser aplicada na inspeção de trilhos.
MODELLING THE PROCESS OF OXIDISING IMPURITIES IN A METAL BATH USING COHERENT NOZZLES
Authors: Golub Tetiana , Molchanov Lavr , Semykin Sergiy , Koveria Andrii
Published: June 2023

The main task of the oxygen-converter process is to produce a liquid metal semi-product with specified properties. It is directly related to the optimization of the blowing mode and devices responsible for the process and technical and economic parameters of melting. The effectiveness of the organization of the process of introducing oxygen into the melt, and, accordingly, assimilation by the metal bath basically depends on the design of the lance nozzles. In electrometallurgy, coherent nozzles are used to improve bath mixing performance and activate processes (a central nozzle for supplying oxygen and a peripheral one surrounding it for supplying gas as a fuel that forms an enveloping flame). Therefore, the authors conducted a study of the influence of coherent top nozzles on the oxidation of impurities in the metal bath under the conditions of the use for the oxygen-converter process (with oxygen supplied to both parts of the nozzle). A high-temperature simulation of the oxidation process of Si from hot metal was carried out by using a Cu-Zn melt (1%) when comparing blowing through a nozzle of a coherent type with a peripheral part of 75% and a conventional nozzle of the equivalent diameter.

Published: June 2023

The present work deals with assessment of tensile strength, hardness, fracture behavior and microstructural changes in welded Al-6061 plates. MIG welding has been done with filler rod whereas no filler metal has been applied during TIG welding for comparing the results with FSW, a filler-less solid-state welding. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of MIGW sample has been found 75% and 111% higher than that of FSW and TIGW samples respectively. Also, the elongation shown by MIG joint is nearly 50% higher than that of other two welds. The tensile properties of two non-filler welds, i.e., FSW and TIG have been found similar. The fractography results have established the ductile behavior of all the three joints. The primary phase (bright Al-grains) of base metal zone (BM) with thin solid boundary has changed into thick dendritic shapes in the welded zone (WZ). Also, the coarse secondary phase of BM has converted into fine particle in WZ under the influence of rapid cooling. The WZ has been reported harder than HAZ in MIG and FSW plates whereas the HAZ of TIGW plate has been found harder than WZ due to accumulation of fine equiaxed secondary phase.

Fonio is one of the lost crops of Africa, and part of the reasons it has been neglected is inadequate information on Fonio growth and yield potential across its growing areas, hence the need to assess the response of available germplasm to fertilizer application. The objectives of the study were to determine the growth and yield response of Fonio accessions to fertilizer application, and to evaluate the interactive effect of fertilizer and Fonio accession on growth and yield. The study was conducted in Northern Ghana, during the 2019 cropping season. The research used a 4 x 5 (four fertilizer levels and five accessions) factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The finding showed that growth and yield parameters were significantly (P< 0.05) affected by fertilizer application. The result also revealed that accession OUSAI recorded the highest grain yield of 1015.10 kg/ha and NFAS4 recorded the least grain yield of 713.23 kg/ha. Also, the most lodged accession was OUAS1 which recorded 65% lodging of its total plant population and the least lodged accessions (NFAS4 and EYAS5) recorded about 10% lodging each. There was significant (P ˂ 0.05) variations among accessions for most of the attributes measured. The interactive effect of fertilizer and accession was significant ((P˂0.05) for most of the traits studied.
