Application of Repetitive Control and ANFIS-PI Compound Control Strategy in APF
Authors: Zhang Mengtao , Sui Tao 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIn order to effectively solve a series of problems caused by harmonics in power system, an active power filter based on ANFIS-PI and repetitive control is designed. The traditional single control method cannot balance control accuracy and response speed, so a compound control strategy is adopted. Repetitive control can produce the same output as the harmonic current, so it can achieve zero steady-state error tracking compensation for each harmonic, but its dynamic performance is not good. As a traditional control method, the PI control method has a fast response speed, but in the actual application process, when the load changes suddenly, that is, when the system parameters change, its tracking effect is not ideal. Therefore, a composite control strategy of ANFIS-PI and repeated control is proposed. It has been proved that its compensation accuracy and dynamic response speed have been significantly improved.

Authors: Zhao Tengfei , Nie Yongjie , Cao Min 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The cross-linked polyethylene cable will undergo thermal aging during service, which will seriously affect the service life of the cable. The current integration method can analyze the charge injection and conduction parameters from the dynamic change rate of the charge over time, and then analyze the insulation state of the polymer. Aiming at the field 10KV fault breakdown cable, this paper uses the current integration method to compare the dynamic change characteristics of the charge of the faulty cable and the new cable, and uses the ratio of Q(t) at t=600s and t=4s to study Charge injection and accumulation situation. Through analysis, it is found that the fault breakdown of the cable, the maximum charge accumulation under high voltage is 9000 Q/nC, the charge change rate is about 2, and the dielectric constant is 3.1, which is much greater than that of the new cable, indicating that the breakdown of the three-phase cable is mainly caused by the cable. It is caused by aging and eventually leads to insulation deterioration and breakdown.
Robust path-following control of underactuated AUVs with multiple uncertainties and state constraints
Authors: Deng Kankan , Miao Jianming , Sun Xingyu 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel robust controller for horizontal path-following problem of an underactuated AUV subject to multiple uncertainties and state constraints. Firstly, four reduced-order extended state observes (ESOs) are designed to estimate the multiple uncertainties, and the estimated values are adopted in the design of kinematic and dynamic controller. Secondly, to address the state constraints, the barrier Lyapunov function is incorporated with the kinematic controller. To resolve the problem of input saturation, the auxiliary design system is utilized in the dynamic controller. To address the problem of “explosion of complexity” inherent in the conventional back-stepping method, a nonlinear tracking differentiator is utilized to obtain the derivative of the desired yaw speed. Finally, the results of numerical simulation are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The life of the healing in concrete is many years old and when the study was done on this, outcomes were coinciding with the auto-genus healing process which was capable to heal the micro cracks inside cementitious based materials and hereafter research led to the study of autonomous healing. In the autonomous healing process, the main aim was to fill the cracks and heal the fracture at the macro level. This was possible with the help of bacteria that were embedded in the cementitious based material with different technologies and methods. In this paper, Enterobacter species and Cohnii bacteria were incorporated into concrete. The behaviour of bacterial concrete was investigated in terms of compressive, tensile, flexural strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity. It observed that the compressive strength of concrete was increased by 11.5%, flexural strength increased by 11.9%, tensile strength increased by 12.8% with the replacement of Cohnii bacteria as compare to conventional concrete. These bacteria have been proved a positive approach to the healing process in cementitious based material. Also, the important criterion has been studied which is essential when dealing with the autonomous healing process. Both the bacteria generate the calcite that helps to fill the concrete crack and voids if water come in to contact.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The goal of this research was to learn more about heavy metal pollution in groundwater in North Chennai during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The total no. of 108 groundwater samples were utilized for this study retrieved from both dug and bore wells. The analytical results indicate that all the determined trace metals show wide spatial and temporal variations. Spatial variation is mainly due to the different sources of contamination, and temporal variation is mainly due to the influence of rainfall and the associated changes in the hydrogeochemical conditions. The abundance order of trace elements based on average ionic concentration in pre-monsoon is Iron (Fe)> Manganese (Mn)> Chromium (Cr)> Copper (Cu)> Lead (Pb)> Nickel (Ni)> Zinc (Zn) and during post-monsoon Fe>Mn>Pb>Zn>Cr>Cu>Ni. Nemerow’s pollution index (NPI) gives an idea about the range of pollution for individual water quality parameters concerning a standard value. Our result showed that North Chennai city is polluted by Lead in both seasons.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
During construction, Engineers often face difficulty related to the stability of soil with or on which the structure is being constructed as the unstable soil cannot not withstand the loads imposed over it. Since the layers of pavements distributes the load evenly over the subgrade, the design of pavement layer is very much dependent on the strength of the subgrade soil over which they are to be laid. So, there is an urgent need to improve the properties of subgrade. An effort to treat the earth with an enzyme that proves very much advantageous for engineering purposes. It is a natural solution which is generated by the enzymatic action on fruits, edibles, saccharine and water by means of fermentation. In this research, a bio-enzyme labelled as Terrazyme is being utilized that significantly improves the properties of soil. Terrazyme being cost effective, efficient, non-toxic, non-inflammable increases the stability by accelerating the enzymatic reactions between the argil and cations(organic) and accelerates the cationic interchange operation to lower down the diffused double layer thickness. The paper deals with all the information about terrazyme including its working mechanism and different properties of soil. It has been investigated that on incrementing the dosage of terrazyme in test sample, notable improvement in the value of UCS and CBR value of soil is observed.

Abstract
Waste is not waste unless someone wastes it. Solid waste collection and its management is one of the burning issues of environment today in most nations worldwide. Although many methods have been proposed and implemented for proper solid waste disposal but some of these treatment and disposal strategies can cause severe environmental issues. The present manuscript intends to give an overview of studies on use of garden leaf litter waste around us as a substrate for vermicompost formation. Vermicomposting is aerobic process in which detritivorous earthworms play an important role in decomposition of organic waste converting it to nutrient rich medium for plant growth known as vermicompost. They do so by interacting with wide range of microorganisms and variety of other fauna acting as decomposers and this interaction results in stabilization of organic matter leading to alteration of its physical and biochemical properties. In recent years, vermicomposting technique has advanced considerably because it is eco-friendly, economically feasible and socially acceptable approach for waste management. In simple words, it is a way of converting waste to wealth. Furthermore, the end product of vermicomposting (Vermicast) - the nutrient rich compost is an efficient soil conditioner.

Abstract
Sustainable development goals aim to attain food security by 2030. To attain food security, it becomes extremely important to target various aspects of food security where safety of food is a major factor. In order to meet the growing population demand, efforts are being made to increase production of food and thus the safety aspect is often ignored. Irrational anthropogenic activities have impacted and deteriorated the ambient environment. Degradation of soil and water has resulted in buildup of contaminants in these spheres and further transfer of contaminants into the food chain. Increase in heavy metals in our surroundings is reported in many parts of the world. Further, increase in concentration of metals in soil and water result in the transfer of these metals into food chain. Unlike other metals copper is although is an essential element for living organisms but excessive consumption of copper is known to cause toxic impacts to living organisms. Green leafy vegetables are considered as hyperaccumulators for copper. The excessive concentration of copper in vegetables is not limited to any one region of the world. The present review summarizes the reports of copper content in vegetables in various parts of the world and health effects associated with it.

Abstract
Pod sucking pest, Riptortus linearis, is one of the important pests on soybeans which cause high yield losses. In order to reduce yield loss, information related to the development stages of resistant varieties and appropriate cultivation technology is needed. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the development stages of soybean varieties and cultivation technology on the population and intensity of pod sucking pests, R. linearis, attack and soybean yield. The study was conducted in a split plot design with two factors, namely cultivation technology [recommendation technology (TR) and existing technology (TE)], and soybean varieties: [Detap-1 (V1), Dega-1 (V2), Anjasmoro (V3), Biosoy (V4), and Dena-1 (V5)]. Each treatment combination was replicated three times resulting in 30 experimental plots. The results showed that soybean varieties affected the population and intensity of R. linearis. Development stages of soybean varieties that positively correlated with pest populations were plant height with a correlation coefficient value r=0.52, followed by pod trichome density (r=0.12), and the number of pods attacked (r=0.49). While the character that correlated with the intensity of pest attack was the density of trichomes (r=0.20). Recommended cultivation technology can increase soybean productivity between 0.1 – 0.47 ton/ha compared to farmers’ existing technology.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Pests and diseases attacks are major limitation for white potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production, and therefore intensive treatments are employed during the cultivation. There is an increasing constraint of the intensive pest control to sustainable potato production and environmental impacts; therefore it is crucial to select suitable cultivar, particularly for the rainy, off-season cultivation, at which production is scared. This research evaluated the intensity of pest attack and yield of two variety of white potato, designated as cv. Chitra and Atlantic, during rainy season. Experiment was conducted in Sajang Village, of Sembalun District, West Nusa Tenggara from March to June 2021. In the field, the plants were maintained according to common maintenance employed farmer in Sembalun, and data collected at two weekly basis. The results showed that symptom of pest attached was visible since the plants was 4 weeks old with no real different intensity between the two variety. A higher rate of pest intensity was recorded in Chitra variety compared to the Atlantic. However, the yield of the two varietie was not differing significantly. The results indicated that the two varieties could be cultivated during off-season and insects are not a major problem during offseason that limits potato plant growth and production in Sajang Village. Further study is needed to evaluate the potential cultivation of the two varieties whole year.
Effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9763 concentration and fermentation time on bioethanol content from corn stover crude cellulose substrate

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Corn stover is a waste from the corn plant that dried in the fields after the corn cobs were harvested. From many corn wastes produced, there is very little utilization to corn stover. Delignified corn stover contains 65.46% cellulose, 14.58% hemicellulose, and 8.66% lignin. Lignocellulosic biomass is very difficult to biotransform, therefore it must be delignified to break the bonds between cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Then the cellulose is converted into sugars by saccharification using crude cellulose enzymes so it can be converted into bioethanol through a fermentation process using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) method. This study aims to determine the concentration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9763 and the optimum fermentation time in order to obtain high content of bioethanol from corn stover. Bioethanol production at different concentrations of S. cerevisiae and fermentation time uses a factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of two factors. The first factor was the concentration of S. cerevisiae which consisted of 3 levels, namely 3%, 5%, and 7% (v/v). The second factor was the fermentation time which consists of 4 levels, namely 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours. Observed variables included pH value, total dissolved solids, reducing sugar content, and ethanol content. The data obtained were analyzed for its diversity using analysis of variants (ANOVA) and continued with the HSD Tukey. The results showed that the concentration of S. cerevisiae 7% (v/v) and a fermentation time of 96 hours was the best treatment to obtain a maximum ethanol content of 7.53 ± 0.330 g/L, with a final pH value of 4.25 ± 0.07, total dissolved solids 2.9 ± 0.14 °Bx and reducing sugar content of 0.334 ± 0.03 g/L. Increasing the concentration of S. cerevisiae and fermentation time can increase the ethanol content.
