Abstract: The European exchanges are in a development process that means consolidation through mergers and acquisitions and also, innovation of structured and derivatives products. The Romanian capital market has a marginal position on European continent because of its small dimensions and modest offer of derivatives products. Some steps have been made in the development process in Romania, but some measures must be taken in the future: the launch of commodities derivatives, the calculation of new stock indices and mergers between the Romanian exchanges.
Keywords: capital market, exchange, derivatives, innovation, crises.

Abstract: Natural images recognition is an important area of machine vision. This paper presents a novel approach for natural images recognition, based on the non-Gaussian distribution property of natural images. In this new method for recognition, first supervised classification is conducted to the natural images based on their label value, then independent components linear transforms are conducted to each category of samples, high-dimensional data are transformed to irrelevant independent components, and finally the probability distance between independent component subspaces is used for unsupervised classification. This classification tree also shows some features of signal processing of biological optic nerve. Experiment on ORL Face Database identity recognition shows that this method is featuring high recognition rate and low time consumption; meanwhile, another experiment is conducted on direction determination of intelligent robots autonomous navigation, also produci!
ng a good result.

Abstract: Irregular distribution of precipitation in time and space in north part of Iran results in frequent flooding. Two extreme floods have occurred in north eastern part of Iran in year 2001 and 2002 (August) which had not been reported till that time. These catastrophes resulted in loss of human and properties. In spite of research and executive works on floods, still flooding occurs in northern part of Iran. Therefore flood disaster management and flood prevention must be revised in this region. Due to insufficient gauging stations in this region, regional flood frequency analysis was applied. For each homogenous region flood model for different return period was developed. Percent areas of NDVI classes besides other parameters were used in developing models as independent variables. The result showed influence of this parameter on flood in some return period.

Abstract: Landslides are significant natural hazards in southern hilly region parts of India with respect to economic losses and casualties. The work presented in this paper is to use of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology for developing techniques for landslide susceptibility mapping using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and assessed the accuracy of hazard map with artificial neural networks model. The AHP method assigns scores to each landslide causing factors of micro-topography of landslide-prone areas identified in aerial photographs, and assesses the susceptibility of landslide from the total score. The landslide-related factors (slope, aspect, curvature, topographic type, soil, rainfall, geology and land use) were extracted from the spatial database. Using those factors, landslide susceptibility was analyzed by artificial neural network (ANN) methods. For this, the weights of each factor were determined by the back propagation ne!
twork, which is a type of artificial neural network method. Then the landslide susceptibility indexes were calculated and the susceptibility maps were made with a GIS program The results of the landslide susceptibility maps were verified and compared using landslide location data. A GIS was used to efficiently analyze the vast amount of data, and an artificial neural network was turned out be an effective tool to maintain precision and accuracy.

Abstract: : This article proposes, a reconfigurable FEC system based on Reed-Solomon codec for DVB and WiMax networks. The proposed architecture implements various programmable primitive polynomials. A lot of VLSI implementations have been described in literature. This paper introduces a highly parametrical RS-coder-decoder on FPGAs. The implementation, written in a hardware description language (HDL), is based on an Berlekamp massey, Chain and Formey Algorithms. We have defined an advanced RS encoder-decoder architecture based on parameterization approach which is a key solution for software defined radio (SDR) systems. Our parameterization approach is used in order to implement on FPGA a generic RS coder-decoder for DVB and WiMax networks. IEEE Std. 802.16 specifies that the codec performs a variable number of check symbols in a codeword ( ranges from 0 to 32, inclusive). The value of check symbols are specified for each burst profile by the MAC layer according to cross !
layer concept.

Abstract: The IT revolution has encompassed within its realm the electrical power sector by the application of Intelligence in Metering, Protection, Monitoring and Control. The amalgamation of communication and IT has made it possible for a Real time IT systems to monitor and control, from a central place, by SCADA for the operation of Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution. A hierarchical structure exists in the transmission and distribution of power since the power is received at a high voltage level in a substation and delivered to a load center through another substation at reduced voltage level. These substations are being transformed from hardwired configurations to a networked platform by leveraging the technological advancements. The technological transformations have brought within its purview Comprehensive Automation of Substation. This paper brings out the current trend in communication & systems in Substation Automation IEC61850 Standard along with!
its benefits. Also, this paper highlights the case study of a real time process control scheme.

Abstract: The amount of software has increased in several products. Software projects have become more complex and their management requires significant amount of skills from every project manager. The amount of available resources, strict budgets, cost control and need for accurate reporting and documentation as well as good quality are part of every project managers' life. As business challenges project managers more and more it would be useful to know what areas of project management create biggest value to the projects. Value Engineering has been a usable method for developing high value products for several years. It has been applied successfully to software processes as well as to software product development. This research analyses the value of project management using Value Engineering based value assessment. This is done in part by defining the concepts of value, worth, cost and in part by outlining the Value Engineering process with project management practices. !
The practical industrial case shows that there is big variety in value between typical project management tasks. It also shows that value of project management tasks can be improved using value Engineering based value assessment.

Abstract: A new procedure is presented for the synthesis of linear multivariable system subjected to plant model perturbations. Multiplicative perturbation is used to model the plant uncertainty. The controller has been designed by taking the plant perturbations. Robust stability is achieved by integral feedforward compensation and control law was synthesized such that the controlled system would maintain the system performance and the tracking of the error signals with plant perturbations in the steady state. The procedure simultaneously ensures conditions for a variety of specific design goals such as 1) closed loop stability, 2) static decoupling with complete and arbitrary closed loop pole placement, and 3) dynamic decoupling. The compensation scheme is presented in the frequency domain.
Keywords: Model perturbations, Robust control, Feedforward compensation, and Multivariable control.

Abstract: LVDS has become a popular choice for high-speed serial links in large-sized display units. This work presents the design and implementation of I/O interface circuits for Gbps operation which is fully complied with the IEEE STD. 1596.3 (LVDS). A step-down voltage regulator is employed to reject the noise coupled in the system power supply. A DC biasing circuitry is utilized in the transmitter to stabilize the common mode voltage in a pre-defined range. Additionally, a regenerative circuit provides a positive feedback loop gain between the cascaded preamplifiers and the output buffer in the receiver. A typical 0.25 um 1P5M CMOS technology is used to realize the proposed LVDS transceiver. The data rate has been justified on silicon to be 1.0 Gbps.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the decision-making behavior based on the complex adaptive system. Firstly, the paper reviewed the related work of the complex adaptive system and the edge of chaos in complex systems in different fields. Secondly, a general decision model of an agent is established and the condition that an agent is just at the edge of chaos is defined. Thirdly, making use of Langton¡¯s coefficient widely used in the research on cellular automata, the paper defines the edge of chaos that describes the decision behavior of agent. Finally, the paper conducts an evolutionary artificial life experiment. Then the connection between the behavior at the edge of chaos and the individual adaptability is illustrated.

Number of paper pages: 11
Abstract: All of us know the earth magnetic field come to be less and this problem can be a serious problem in future but now we find other problems that can destroy our planet life or in minimum state can damage it such as FTE theory , solar activities , reversing magnetic poles, increasing speed of reversing that last reverse, reducing magnetic strength ,finding leaks in magnetosphere ,etc. some of these reasons will be factors for increasing the solar energy that hit to the Earth and perhaps changing in our life and conditions of the Earth . In this paper , I try to show a way to against to these problems and reduce their damages to the Earth perhaps The Earth will repair himself but this repair need many time that humans could not be wait. In the past time magnetic field was reversed but now we are against to the other problems that can increase the influence of reversing magnetic field for the Earth and all these events can be a separated problem for us, these pr!
oblem may be can not destroyed humans life but can be cause of several problems that occur for our healthy and our technology in space. This way is building a system that produce a new magnetic field that will be in one way with old magnetic field this system will construe by superconductors and a metal that is not dipole. This paper explain all the problems in addition to the way of repair their damages on the Earth and show the suitable shape of system that can help us for future programs .

Abstract: Abstract:-A new hybrid-drive system taking flywheel energy storage system instead of chemical battery as assistant power source for hybrid electric vehicle is put forward. According to the particular energy characteristics of flywheel system, an energy management strategy based on fuzzy logic control is also developed with overall consideration on the optimization of both ICE (Intenal Combustion Engine) and ISG (Integrated Started Generator). The strategy determines the optimal torque distribution between ICE and ISG through inputs of rotary speed of flywheel, rotary speed of ICE crankshaft and travel of accelerator pedal or brake pedal. Simulation results indicate that flywheel energy storage system is quite suitable for hybrid electric vehicle and with fuzzy logic control strategy both the performance of ICE and ISG are optimized that reduces fuel consumption of vehicle to greater extent.

Abstract: Regularly millions of data is being collected and warehoused. These data contains very useful information, such as, ATM transactions, credit card bills, emails, advertising campaigns etc. Competitors always having dream to get extracted knowledge from it. Although, analysis on customer relationship is getting more realistic and interesting factor for the augmentation of every organization similarly, finding the hidden gold is also promoting for the success of organization. The major critical success factor for any Customer Relationship Management (CRM) includes, Relationship Management, Sales Management, Use of Technology, Opportunity Management etc. In this paper we proposed, analyzed and validated that data mining is also a major success factor in the success of CRM. We first proposed the CRM model and then described the main role of each characteristic, further more, we applied data mining techniques for the generation of new rules and patterns. Most of the orga!
nization only put their stress on the competitive forces, sales forces, advertising campaign, marketing strategies and management of customer services. But behind of these all circumstances they are storing a huge data in their databases. We discussed and evaluated that after implementation of CRM strategies in a organization why the problem is continuing and what will be the positive effect after implementation of data mining. And in which manner data mining techniques can be applied in the CRM model.

Abstract: Microfinance business is a prevailing business in third world countries and proves beneficial to improve economies of the country. In our paper we conceived and designed some algorithms by using data mining techniques to have general micro currency exchange businesses for a developing country. Our algorithm process two years historical records of currency rates and applies data mining techniques i.e. Median Method and Rise & Fall Method with probabilistic approach conceived by us. It can apply to N year's data with unless desired results are achieved. This is to give best choice to micro currency business men to take decision to buy or sell currency. Some previous currency rates (i.e. Ups & Down) are also recorded from a popular bank of Canada & currency open markets as a proof of concept using our algorithm. Our algorithm can be efficiently used by all those who wish to initialize a small business (Cottage Industries) with a profitable income with less investment!
. We guarantee them to successfully launch their businesses with trust and courage.

Abstract: In this paper, a neural network model of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is proposed. Various ANN approaches have been tested; the back-propagation feed-forward networks show satisfactory performance with regard to cell voltage prediction. The model is then used in a power system for residential application. The models of fuel cell system proposed include an ANN fuel cell stack model, reformer model and DC/AC inverter model. Furthermore a fuzzy logic (FLC) controller is used to control active power of PEM fuel cell system. The controller modifies the hydrogen flow feedback from the terminal load. Simulation results confirmed the high performance capability of the fuzzy logic controller to control power generation.

Abstract: Medical diagnosis is considered an art regardless of all standardization efforts made, which is greatly due to the fact that medical diagnosis necessitates an expertise in coping with uncertainty simply not found in today's computing machinery. The researchers are encouraged by the advancement in computer technology to develop software to assist doctors in making decision without necessitating the direct consultation with the specialists. The neural network algorithms can possibly give good solutions to medical problems. In this paper, application of artificial intelligence in typical disease Hepatitis B diagnosis has been investigated. In this research, an intelligent system based on logical inference along with a radial basis function network is presented for the diagnosis. An expert system based on logical inference is used to decide what type of hepatitis is possible to appear for a patient, whether it is Hepatitis B or not. Then artificial neural networks wil!
l be used in order to do the predictions regarding hepatitis B. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) network structure trained by Orthogonal Least Square (OLS) algorithm is applied to hepatitis data for predictions. Results obtained show that radial basis function network can be successfully used for diagnosing hepatitis B. The role of effective diagnosis and the advantages of data training on neural networks-based automatic medical diagnosis system are suggested by the outcomes.

Abstract: In order to increase the output efficiency of a photovoltaic generates system it is important to have an efficient Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The constant voltage (CV) method is impossible to exact acquire the maximum power (MP) point because of some problems is not be resolved, i.e., the efficiency is very low, and only one maximum power point (MPP) is tracked in the whole tracking course. Theoretical and simulative results show that the optimal output voltage is changing with the weather. This paper describes a new variable voltage MPPT algorithm based on the actual n and Io, which is combined perturb and observe (PO) method in order to acquire the actual diode factor and reverse saturation current. The proposed control scheme and the Sepic converter are used to verify the correctness and validity of MPPT algorithm.

Abstract: In this paper, the RFID middleware system that can process bulk data in real time has been designed and implemented. The characteristics of this middleware system support the following points: Expandability and integration of infrastructure, processing the bulk data coming from heterogenous readers in real time, management of the integrate process, Java based XML, and lightweight-oriented technology for speedy and efficient performance. Also a filter file managing process(XML Process) is designed to process bulk data in real time. With this processor in place, the middleware can run without any problem even when several clients from many locations get connected to the server at the same time. The RFID middleware system consists of reader interface, event manager, application interface, and an adapter for heterogenous readers. In the integrated function test of the RFID middleware system, the system showed a stable performance in processing even thousands of filter!
ing and tag data per second, and was able to process the bulk tag data from heterogeneous readers in real time. Also from the test of the implemented filtering management system interlocked with the RFID middleware and the client, it was confirmed that the RFID middleware and the filtering management system ran properly.

Number of paper pages: 17
Abstract: Ferroresonance has more damaging effects on transformers and other equipments in distribution networks such as oscillating over voltages and over currents, distortion in voltage and current waveforms, transformer heating, loud noise due to magnetostriction and mal-operation of the protective devices. This paper proposes a novel method for identification of Ferroresonance in distribution networks. Using this method Ferroresonance can be discriminate from other transients such as capacitor switching, load switching, transformer switching. Wavelet transform is used for decomposition of signals and Competitive Neural Network is implemented for Ferroresonance identification. Ferroresonance data and other transients are obtained by simulation of a real 20kV distribution feeder using Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP). Using Daubechies mother wavelet signals are decomposed up to six levels. The energy of detail signals that obtained by wavelet transform are used for!
training and trailing Competitive neural network. The results show that the Competitive neural network is effective for discriminating Ferroresonance from other transients.

Abstract: In this paper, a preliminary result about the melancholia diagnosis scheme based on the analyses of depression questionnaire and the meridian energy of human body using CMAC (Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller) neural network approach is proposed. Firstly, a large amount data obtained from hospital, recorded the aged patients¡¦ depression rating scales and the 12 sets meridian energy signals, are sieved out three disease groups¡¦ patterns. Assuming the recorded data can describe the necessary features of the melancholia patient. Then, we built a CMAC neural network to learn the melancholia features depending on the three disease groups¡¦ patterns. By the sufficient training, the diagnosis architecture will memorize the features of the selected melancholia patient patterns. Finally, the built diagnosis system can used to diagnose the depression scale by inputting the 12 sets meridian energy signals of human body into CMAC neural network. To benefit the pattern!
collection, re-training, diagnosis and the data analyses, a PC-based friendship operation interface is developed in this paper also. Such as the function of new pattern addition, retraining, and the memory weights distribution plots are appeared in the interface.

Abstract: The meat industry is seeking to establish reassurance on traceability and production techniques that may help to promote confidence in the integrity and origin of the products. The overall tracing of beef quality is actually the risk identification and control along the supply chains of beef production. This study focused on the identification and control methods of quality risks in China traditional beef cattle breeding with optimization approaches concerned. The quality risks in beef cattle breeding were classified by features to develop the disseminated model of these risks and its algorithms. Then the theory of quality traceability was used and a concept model of quality risk control was proposed. Tracing units were divided and tracing nodes were set through optimization. The proposed risk identification and control models were capable of identifying and handling a product and the information attached to it throughout the whole production process to retail pack!

Abstract: Land cover mapping is very important for evaluating natural recourses, understanding the societal and business activities. The remote sensing techniques provide effective and efficient methods to create such maps. To high spatial resolution imagery such as SPOT5 imagery, the land cover classification precision will be improved with the knowledge, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and the spatial information such as texture and. Both the pixel-based classification method based on the knowledge rule and the object-oriented fuzzy classification methods have been studied in this paper using SPOT5 high spatial resolution imagery. Some GIS dataset and the texture are integrated into the two knowledge-based classifications in this paper. And the result of accuracy assessment indicates that the two classifications can catch good classification precision, but the objected-oriented classification method does better. Besides, the shape and context information can be used ful!
ly to distinguish the roads from the buildings with the objected-oriented fuzzy classification method, which is hard to accomplish in pixel-based classification. Furthermore, the objected-oriented classification method is more suitable in land cover mapping due to its meaningful objects.

Abstract: Image texture analysis has received a considerable amount of attention over the last few years as it has played an important role in the classification of the remote sensing images. This paper provides an overview of several different approaches to image texture analysis and demonstrates their use on the problem of land cover classification. We used grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method to assistant the land cover classification and then compared and evaluated all of the result of classifications. In the experimentation, by comparing the classification result of contrast, energy and entropy we find out that the preferable texture features of grey level co- occurrence matrices method was contrast. In this thesis, it used the feature images helping the classification of remote sensing and obtained good result. And it also used C++ programming language to write a programme to compute the number of the feature of texture.

Abstract: : Land consolidation is a tool for increasing the area of the arable land and improving the effectiveness of land cultivation. With the development of high resolution image, the progress of land consolidation project can be monitored by acquiring information from the image objectively. This paper presents a method to extract the wells and roads in land consolidation project from high resolution images. The well extraction method is based on the gray-level template matching algorithm. The road extraction method is based on mathematical morphology, which is a method for detecting image components that are useful for representation and description. The vector planning maps and high resolution images used to monitor the completion of land consolidation project are registered. The candidate areas are created using the functions of buffer and extraction by mask in GIS. The well template is selected manually from the image. The template is used to find the wells which mat!
ch the template perfectly. In the road extraction section, Top-hat transform and gray dilation are used to filter the noise of the image. In this way the road feature in the image became wider and even more obvious to be recognized. Then image binarization and thinning algorithm are used to extract the one-pixel centerline of the road. At last, the thinning results are converted to the final vector detection results.

Abstract: Soil environmental quality is the capacity of a soil to function, within ecosystem and land use boundaries, to sustain biological productivity, maintain environmental quality, and promote plant, animal and human health'. In the long-term, vegetative rehabilitation of mining wastes aims at, as far as possible, the proper ecological integration of the reclaimed area into the surrounding landscape, which is sustainable and requires minimal maintenance. This article presents here an indicator-based system of soil environmental quality that evaluates sustainable rehabilitation of mine waste through a set of 2 subindicators, chemical fertility and stocks of organic matter, and further combines them into a single general Indicator of Soil Quality (GISQ). The design and calculation of the indicators were based on sequences of multivariate analyses. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to assess soil quality overall. A GISQ combined the different subindicators provid!
ing a global assessment of soil environmental quality. Our findings provide evidence that selected indicators can provide a definitive, quantitative assessment of soil environmental quality and lend credence to the value of our approach in quantifying relationships between soil function and indicators for specific areas.

Abstract: Land rehabilitation is being carried out throughout the whole country. But in many areas, the main purpose of land rehabilitation is to increase the overall cultivated land area which neglects the eco-construction. Important tasks of modern landscape ecology are to monitor and assess natural resources, to examine the impacts and effects of human intervention and, last but not least, to observe the state of the environment over long periods of time. The objective of this research was to create a method for land rehabilitation project using landscape ecology by combining Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Landscape Ecology Analysis (LEA). GIS technologies were developed for the digital preparation and analysis of historical maps, and subsequent digital land use mapping. The landscape spatial pattern and influence on landscape were expressed by dominance index, contagion index, cohesion index, etc. Applying those landscape ecology indexes landscape spatial pat!
tern influence caused by the land development and rehabilitation planning of Haizhou coal mine waste area was studied by comparing landscape characteristics between those before and after planning implementation. The analysis of the structural landscape changes proved to be an important aspect.

Abstract: Land cover classification with a high accuracy is necessary, especially in waste dump area, accurate land cover information is very important to eco-environment research, vegetation condition study and soil recovery destination. Funded by the international cooperation project Novel Indicator Technologies for Minesite Rehabilitation and sustainable development, a hierarchical object oriented land cover classification is produced in this study. The ample spectral information, textural information, structure and shape information of high resolution SPOT 5 imagery are used synthetically in this method. There are two steps in object oriented information extraction: image segmentation and classification. First, the image is segmented using chessboard segmentation and multi-resolution segmentation method. Second, NDVI is used to distinguish vegetation and non-vegetation; vegetation is classified as high density vegetation, middling density vegetation and low density veget!
ation using spectral information, object oriented image texture analysis; non-vegetation is classified as vacant land and main road using length/width. Accuracy assessment indicate that this hierarchical method can be used to do land cover classification in waste dump area, the total accuracy increases to 86.53%, and Kappa coefficient increases to 0.7907.

Abstract: With the rapid growth of Internet technology, data security protection has become an important issue. As a tool for improving the effectiveness of land cultivation, land consolidation plays an important role in enlarging farming plots and enhancing crop productivity. To fulfill land consolidation, more and more remote sensing images are widely used. This paper presents a LSB watermarking algorithm to protect the images data security. In the proposed scheme, the land reorganization planning map is embedded into a remote sensing image of the same area for information security and copyright protection. Before being embedded, the land reorganization planning map is compressively encoded. The contradiction between large information quantity and invisibility of digital water marking is perfectly eliminated. To avoid the shortcoming of being easily attacked in the original LSB method, the host image is preprocessed by exclusive-OR (XOR) operation. That is, the value of th!
e least significant bit is decided by the XOR result of the first several bits. The watermark signal is embedded into the LSB of the processed host image by XOR operation. Moreover, by applying an optimal adjustment process, the watermarked image has the ability of distortion tolerance. The experimental results fully illustrate that the embedded watermark is not only imperceptible to the human eyes, but also has better security in the statistical sense. Moreover, the proposed scheme is superior in terms of its distortion tolerance.

Abstract: In this paper models of Wind Parks (WPs) appropriate for simulation purposes of large power systems with high wind power penetration are developed. The proposed models of the WPs are developed using system identification theory with NARX model structures. Data obtained from the simulation of detailed WP models are used for system identification. The obtained models are general and they can be applied to different configurations of WPs as only system's input/output data are used and not any internal states of the model. Simulation results confirm the accuracy and the advantages of the proposed wind parks equivalent models.

Abstract: This paper presents our method to improve lightweight reservation protocol. This was inspired by the ever increasing volume of multimedia traffic over the Internet is demanding quality of service beyond the traditional best-effort. The Integrated Services model relies on the Resource reservation Protocol (RSVP) for signaling and reserving resources. RSVP uses the receiver-initiated reservation mechanism to set up the reservation which executes protocol complexity and incurs additional processing and storage overheads on the routers. Due to heavyweight characteristic, many researchers changed the focus to the lightweight reservation protocol. In this paper, we propose a lightweight signaling protocol of Sender-initiated and Mobility-support Reservation Protocol (SMRP) with Crossover Router (COR) as an extension to SMRP. COR scheme cannot provide smooth handover as it affects the SMRP in Mobile hosts. This is the main disadvantage of COR scheme. Pointer Forwarding S!
cheme makes an advance resource reservation only a forwarding one-step path from the sender along the forwarding chains. In order to make SMRP more suitable for Mobile hosts, we propose a hybrid method to combine the advantages of COR scheme with Pointer Forwarding scenarios. We have selected ns2 Java version network simulator to test it. We evaluate the performance of SMRP in a mobile network environment. The results show that the hybrid scheme can support seamless and also efficient SMRP path rerouting during handoff in respect of decreased the drop probability.

Abstract: This paper presents our method to improve lightweight reservation protocol. This was inspired by the ever increasing volume of multimedia traffic over the Internet is demanding quality of service beyond the traditional best-effort. The Integrated Services model relies on the Resource reservation Protocol (RSVP) for signaling and reserving resources. RSVP uses the receiver-initiated reservation mechanism to set up the reservation which executes protocol complexity and incurs additional processing and storage overheads on the routers. Due to heavyweight characteristic, many researchers changed the focus to the lightweight reservation protocol. In this paper, we propose a lightweight signaling protocol of Sender-initiated and Mobility-support Reservation Protocol (SMRP) with Crossover Router (COR) as an extension to SMRP. COR scheme cannot provide smooth handover as it affects the SMRP in Mobile hosts. This is the main disadvantage of COR scheme. Pointer Forwarding S!
cheme makes an advance resource reservation only a forwarding one-step path from the sender along the forwarding chains. In order to make SMRP more suitable for Mobile hosts, we propose a hybrid method to combine the advantages of COR scheme with Pointer Forwarding scenarios. We have selected ns2 Java version network simulator to test it. We evaluate the performance of SMRP in a mobile network environment. The results show that the hybrid scheme can support seamless and also efficient SMRP path rerouting during handoff in respect of decreased the drop probability.

Abstract: We extend the Solow-Swan model with a logistic-type population growth, introduced by Ferrara and Guerrini (2008), by incorporating technological progress in pollution abatement, in a way similar to Brock and Taylor (2004). Within this framework, we determine the model's solution and prove the economy to be convergent in the long-run. In addition, we investigate sustainable growth and show that this occurs if technological progress in abatement is faster than technological progress in production. Moreover, an environmental Kuznets curve may result along the transition to the balanced growth path.

Abstract: Currently, tree mining techniques have a wide area of applications because of the usage of tree structure in many data representation formats like DNA, XML databases, computer networks simulation, and pattern recognition and so on. In this paper we are present an efficient approach to discover all the closed and maximal frequent embedded and unordered sub-trees because current tree mining algorithms are only interested in generating the frequent unordered sub-trees. Our experiments with both synthetic and real datasets against the known algorithms for mining closed embedded and unordered trees, demonstrate the effectiveness and the efficiency of the technique.

Email addresses of all the authors: ran_hsin@ms.chinmin.edu.tw
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: This study proposed to address a new method that could select subsets more efficiently. In addition, the reasons why employers voluntarily turnover were also investigated in order to increase the classification accuracy and to help managers to prevent employers¡¦ turnover. The mixed feature subset selection used in this study combined Taguchi method and Nearest Neighbor Classification Rules to select feature subset and analyze the factors to find the best predictor of employer turnover. All the samples used in this study were from industry A, in which the employers left their job during 1st of February, 2001 to 31st of December, 2007, compared with those incumbents. The results showed that through the mixed feature subset selection method, total 18 factors were found that are important to the employers. In addition, the accuracy of correct selection was 87.85% which was higher than before using this feature subset selection method (80.93%). The new feature subs!
et selection method addressed in this study does not only provide industries to understand the reasons of employers¡¦ turnover, but also could be a long-term classification prediction for industries.

Abstract: The basic features of complex dynamical and control systems, including systems having hierarchical structure, are considered. Special attention is paid to the problems of synthesis of dynamical models of complex systems, to the construction of efficient control models, and to the development of simulation techniques. An approach to the synthesis of dynamic models of complex systems that integrates expert knowledge with the process of modeling is proposed. A set-theoretic model of complex system is defined and briefly analyzed. A mathematical model of complex dynamical system with control, based on aggregate description, is also proposed. The structure of the model is described, and architecture of computer simulation system is presented, requirements to and components of computer simulation systems are analyzed.

Abstract: Today, the world are moving towards e-commerce application in completing their daily jobs. An e-commerce application becomes the preferred medium to complete the day’s tasks. Electronic commerce or e-commerce is a potentially growing business for today’s market. Basically, online shopping eliminates conventional purchase approach which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Through cyber space, order can be placed electronically and the product will be produced and shipped with the middleman. The potential for wide-ranging surveillance of all cyber activities presents a serious threat to information privacy. It gives more bad results in personal information privacy. In any e-commerce activities, all personal information should be controlled including their disclosure in order to protect its privacy. This paper discusses how personal information is used in e-commerce application and how it should be controlled.

Abstract: As organizations come to rely on the collection and use of personal information in order to complete the transactions and providing good services to their users, more and more user personal information is being shared with web service providers leading to the need to protect the privacy. Personal information is processed, stored and disclosed and often it generated in the course of making a commercial exchange. Credit card numbers, individual identity number, purchase records, monthly income, and related types of personal information all have important role with his this commercial information system. However this creation and use of personal information raises issues of privacy not only for the individual, but also for organizations. Easy access to private personal information will cause the misuse of data, no control over the information and others. Because of this, it’s important to protect the information not only from external threats but also from insider !
threats. Data disclosure when performing a task in web-based application should be ensured. Within the electronic scenario, personal information have been collected, stored, manipulated and disclosed without the owner’s consent. This paper will discuss on the relationship between personal information and its privacy. We also extended the model introduced by Al-Fedaghi as a way to control the personal information disclosure. We also suggested that the use of Hippocratic Database concepts as a way to control the personal information disclosure.

Abstract: Intelligent safety-critical systems, such as intelligent automotive systems or intelligent robots, require a stringent reliability while the systems are in operation. As system-on-chip (SoC) becomes prevalent in the intelligent system applications, the reliability issue of SoC is getting more attention in the design industry while the SoC fabrication enters the very deep submicron technology. The system bus, such as AMBA AHB, provides an integrated platform for IP-based SoC. Apparently, the robustness of system bus plays an important role in the SoC reliability. In this study, we propose a useful bus system vulnerability model and present a thorough analysis of system bus vulnerability in SystemC transaction-level modeling (TLM) design level by injecting faults into the bus signals, which can assist us in predicting the robustness of the system bus, in locating the weaknesses of the bus system, and in understanding the effect of bus faults on system behavior during!
the SoC design phase. The impact of benchmarks on system bus vulnerability is also addressed. The contribution of this work is to promote the dependability verification to TLM abstraction level that can significantly enhance the simulation performance, and provide the comprehensive results to validate the system bus dependability in early design phase for safety-critical applications.

Abstract: Orthogonal signal MIMO radar adopts wide low-gain transmitting beam and long integration time to survey the responsible space domain. The range migration of moving target is a pivotal problem faced in the MIMO radar. Orthogonal LFM signals are one of the most familiar waveforms in MIMO radar, and this paper discusses the range migration compensation problem in the MIMO radar using Stepped Frequency Division Linear Frequency Modulation (SFDLFM) signals. A new method utilizing the proper range-direction coupling relationship is put forward to resolve the range migration problem. This method can obtain a good compensation effect with low computation complexity. Theory deduction and simulation results proved the valid of this method.

Abstract: The Persian Gulf is a water basin which connects Iran to surface waters and the oceans. This basin is important with regards to biological, fisheries, shipping and chemical. Tides, winds, evaporation and precipitation considerably happen there. According to past researchs, baroclinicity and stratification are two properties in the Persian Gulf happening and varying seasonally. In fact, thermocline development and its variation in space and time represent turbulence formation so internal waves propagation through water environment. Turbulence and internal waves due to baroclinicity, tidal and wind stresses propagate along baroclinic pressure gradient and in vertical direction through water column. In this paper, vertical component of internal waves velocity would be gotton to solve for the first four modes. These modes are predominant presenting turbulent behavior of baroclinicity in the Persian Gulf. As a result of depth variations of thermocline in the Gulf, baro!
clinic pressure so internal waves due to turbulence would happen. Development of seasonal thermocline due to forcing in the case zone and its trend would be the main result of the research.

Abstract: In this paper we propose a method for Web page-ranking based on a theoretic model that is introduced and tested by examples of order relationships among IP addresses. The goal is, through a self-organizing procedure, to learn from these examples a real-valued ranking function that induces ranking via a convexity feature. We consider the problem of learning from self-organizing IP data to be represented by a semi-random convex polygon procedure, in which the vertices correspond to IP addresses. Taking into account recent developments in our regularization theory for convex polygons and corresponding Euclidean distance based methods for classification, we develop an algorithmic framework for learning ranking functions based on a Computational Geometric approach. We provide some example for this algorithm, as well as some experimental verification of the potential advantages of the framework presented in this study.

Abstract: Tilted air curtains are used as barriers between two environments of different temperature, humidity and quality and are the core elements in Refrigerated display cabinets. Energy consumption and performance became the concern of end users of cabinets as the Entrainment of one environment Fluid (air) into the curtain by shear layer mixing contributes to both the sensible and the latent heat load on the other environment and the impingement of the air curtain formed. Obstructions of any type on the path of the air curtain endanger its integrity. Protrusion present in the direction of the flow impacts the performance of the air curtain and defeats its purpose of existence. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software method is used to evaluate the impact of such intentional and non intentional obstructions, on the performance of the air curtain formed by the tilted jet plane and is also validated by comparing the CFD calculations results with experimental results. Qu!

Abstract: Abstract: - The problem of path generation for the autonomous vehicle in environments with the infinite number unmoving and moving obstacles is considered. Generally, the problem is known in the literature as the path planning. In this paper the algorithm, named MKBC, is connected with a characteristical idea of Kohonen rule and expiriance with RBF neuaral network. Among other things, Kohonen rule is connected with the weighting coefficients. The MKBC algorithm does not use the weighting values as values from the previous time, but permanentlly uses the training values as weighting values. This enables an intelligent system to learn from the examples (operator's demonstrations) to control a vehicle in avoiding obstacles, like the human operator does, which is known as behavioral cloning. Following the given context the problem narrow passage avoiding and the goal position reaching fundamentally is treated. Namely, defining if – then rule according to the!
problem the previously is observed as destroying of the consistency of the reached methodology. Then the problem the robot vehicle speed is treated in the manner to save consistency of the reached methodology. At the end, the robot distance holding according to the closest obstacle is also considered.The advantage of this approach lies in the fact that a complete path can be defined off-line, without using sophisticated symbolical models of obstacles. Important characteristic of the MKBC algorithm is polynomial complexity, while most other path planning algorithms are exponential. Experiments determined that it is robust to parameter change and suita¬ble for real time application. In the next phase it is expected to attempt to find optimal path.

Abstract: Fault diagnosis is very important for development and maintenance of safe and reliable electronic circuits and systems. Many k-fault diagnosis methods were put forward such as branch method, node method, loop method, mesh method, cut set method. But the tolerance effect as well as non-linear problems exist and are difficult to deal with. A fault diagnosis method for analog circuit is proposed in this paper, including the mathematical model and two improved algorithms about K-node method and K-branch method. The potential of the algorithms is demonstrated by an order active circuit example and the workload of the verification can be reduced. For the testability problems of analog circuit, testability analysis and testability design are researched under prescriptive condition. A testable topological condition which has nothing to do with the circuit parameters is put forward, and the testability analysis and testability design are carried out by a variety of convenie!
nt and flexible ways. The method is extended to the testability problems of analog circuit, and result shows that the testability problems of analog circuit can be resolved effectively without any other complex numerical computation.

Abstract: This manuscript proposes a novel control technique for three-phase shunt active power line conditioner to determine the compensation current associated with three-phase parallel converters. The proposed control scheme is effective in achieving purely sinusoidal balanced source currents in phase with respective source voltages. The method assumes that the active power line conditioning system (APLC) supplies all the real power and imaginary power of the load that differ from positive sequence fundamental average power consumed by the load. Asymmetry, unbalance and distortion in the terminal voltages and load currents have been considered in this manuscript. Since the proposed control technique considered asymmetry, unbalance and distortion in both terminal voltages and load currents, the developed APLC system can be treated as a universal power quality conditioner for the power quality problems. The supremacy of the proposed approach has been discussed and compare!
d with synchronous detection equal current approach (SDECA).

Abstract: Cantonese is an important Chinese dialect spoken in some regions of Southern China. Local online users often represent their opinions and experiences with written Cantonese on the Web. The information in these reviews is valuable to both manufacturers and potential consumers. Although search engines like Google can help people find most of reviews about certain product, it is difficult, if not impossible, to personally read all the returned pages by any one. Sentiment classification would be helpful by automatically classifying reviews of customers for a product or service as recommended (thumbs up) or not recommended (thumbs down). In this research, sentiment classification techniques were incorporated into the very noisy domain of online Cantonese-written restaurant reviews. Using two machine learning-based classifiers, this paper conducted a series of experiments to explore appropriate methods for automatic sentiment classification in the very noisy domain of on!
line Cantonese-written reviews. The results show that, the support vector machine classifier based on a Mandarin Chinese word segmentation tool performed surprisingly well. The accuracy, precision and recall respectively for positive and negative reviews all reach above 85%, when the training corpus contained 5000 or more reviews.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a complete design and analysis of new HMIC 3.5-4.5 GHz broadband balanced amplifier modules using microstrip technology. Two different modules are designed and analyzed. Each module is implemented in a single substrate. The first module used Lange couplers as power splitters and combiners while the second used branch couplers. The components of the modules are designed using full-scale computer simulation program, performed by the author and named as MSDES, which takes fully into account all the discontinuities included in the microstrip lines; while the modules are analyzed and optimized using APLAC V7.61 software. A short and efficient CAD procedure for the broadband amplifier design is introduced. The first step is to design an initial narrowband high-gain microstrip amplifier at a center frequency equal to 4 GHz. The second step is to optimize the initial lengths and widths of the input and output microstrip-mat!
ching circuits to get the broadband amplifier over the range 3.5-4.5 GHz. The analyses of both narrow and broadband amplifiers are introduced in addition to the complete analysis of the designed 3.5-4.5 broadband balanced amplifier modules. The analysis of the designed balanced amplifier modules shows better efficiency and good performance. The complete AC schematic diagrams of the designed balanced amplifier modules are presented. These modules can be used in many applications including sensors, pulse Doppler communications, airborne radars, traffic control radars and satellite communications.

Abstract: The introduction of distributed generation through renewable sources of energy has opened a challenging area for power engineers. As these sources are intermittent in nature, variable speed electric generators are employed for harnessing electrical energy from these sources. However, power electronic control is required to connect these sources to the existing grid. The grid interconnection issues are to be dealt with before connecting these to the local grid. Power conditioners using self commutating devices are necessary to have grid friendly inverters. In this paper, the MATLAB based simulation studies have been done to realize a grid friendly inverter system for harnessing energy from a variable speed wind energy system. The system is designed for low harmonic injection into the grid and fast control of voltage so as to meet the IEEE standard-1547 requirements.

Abstract: This paper presents a new method to improve performance of DSR in Ad Hoc Network. We present an analysis of DSR protocol and propose our algorithm to improve the performance of DSR protocol by using ACK reply path as a backup route when an original route fails in Mobile Ad Hoc networks. In the traditional DSR protocol, a backup route will be initiated to transfer data in route cache when a route is broken. However, if the backup route is also failed, it will affect the overall network performance. We modify the DSR so-called Modified DSR protocol (MDSR) with the aim that the source node can still receive the ACK reply from destination node when an original route is broken, which means data packets can be transferred along with the ACK path. MDSR deploys the idea of TCP-BuS to solve unnecessary resending of lost data packets. We simulate our proposed model in NS2, compare the MDSR with DSR in the performance of end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio. The result !
shows that the performance of MDSR is better than the traditional DSR protocol.

Abstract: An ideal conceptual design model should support multi-level innovative design through rational mapping layer and mapping relationship. In this paper, five existing conceptual design models are reviewed from this perspective, and a new model which supports the alternation of cyclic mappings among functional decomposition£¬functional solving and combination of solutions in turn is presented. Then the knowledge representation scheme for principle solving and the feature-based scheme for interface representation are discussed. Finally a cyclic solving approach to conceptual design is put forward, and an interface matrix is applied to facilitate computer processing.

Number of paper pages: 13
Abstract: For enterprises, customer relationships have been commonly recognized as a critical factor to succeed their business. Effective customer relationships could help enterprises deliver services/products to customers based on their needs, preferences, or past transactions. This model however emphasizes on the use of customer information for benefiting enterprises; customers in contrast receive less information from enterprises. To address this issue, such technologies have been proposed as recommendation systems and intelligent agents that provide customers with more sufficient information for their possible needs/helps. These technologies, nevertheless, have still some shortcomings that initiate the recent discussion of a new paradigm, namely Consumer Support Systems (CSS). CSS is specifically structured to support effective information provision from enterprises to consumers where sophisticated information management mechanisms are necessarily employed to help on con!
sumer decision making. In this paper, we present an architecture for the construction of such a new CSS paradigm that provides an advanced management of customer relationships by emphasizing on the information provision from enterprises to consumers. The architecture starts from the identification of CSS characteristics, through the recognition of architectural components that support the realization of these issues, and finally ends with the specification of collaborations among architectural components to realize these issues. The architecture is modeled by UML notations and illustrated by a CSS for book publishing.

Abstract: In processing the medical data, choosing the optimal subset of features is important, not only to reduce the processing cost but also to improve the classification performance of the model built from the selected data. Rough Set method has been recognized to be one of the powerful tools in the medical feature selection. However, the high storage space and the time-consuming computation restrict its application. In this paper, we propose two new concepts: discernibility string and feature forest, and an efficient algorithm, the Feature Forest Based (FF-Based) algorithm, for generation of all reducts of a medical dataset. The algorithm consists of two phases: feature forest construction phase and disjunctive normal form computation phase. In the first phase, the discernibility strings that are the concatenation of some of features between two different cases construct the feature forest. In the second phase, the disjunctive normal form is computed to reduct features !
based on feature forest. The experimental results on the medical datasets of UCI machine learning repository and a real liver cirrhosis dataset show that the algorithms of this paper can efficiently reduce storage cost and improve the classification performance.

Abstract: Many lecturers question the necessity to incorporate changes in the methodology of their subjects and the lack of instruments to verify if the changes that these active methodologies have a desirable effect. In this sense, the validation of the JDS adapted to university teaching, allow to fill up this deficiency. Any lecturer that want to know the satisfaction of students with his teaching, have with this tool a robust procedure that can complement or clarify the information that arrives by the student's surveys or other sources. The model consists of seven scales that measure the characteristics of the job as well as an indicator of the motivate profile of the work (MPS) and six scales of satisfaction with diverse aspects of the job. The scales vary significantly when we compared the data obtained from an experimental group with active methodologies teaching with respect to two control groups with traditional teaching. The adapted version of JDS scales has suitab!
le values of internal consistency. Only the models hypothesized with correlated factors, display accepted values respect to the reliability of construct and the variance extracted and also the best values of goodness-of-fit indicators.

Abstract: The design and realization of the spot data acquisition system based on zigbee protocol standard is a system to accomplish the communication between the wireless sensor motes and also with the sink through which the environmental data is sent to the workstation which is then used by the decision support system. The communication in the Wireless Sensor Network is achieved through the 802.15.4/Zigbee protocol. This paper also concentrates on another criterion in which the component-based development can make developers take full advantage of the existing components in the component library. This paper has researched the component-based development model and characteristics. For the shortcoming of traditional sensor networks protocol development model this paper gives out a method that the application components can call the underlying components directly. This is a new attempt in which the applications are made to address the hardware component directly by skipping t!
he middle layers which will preserve the resources. And after the test, at the end, it has been proved that the new method has a higher development efficiency and implementation efficiency than the process in which the middle level layers are used.

Abstract: Defects in underground pipeline images are indicative of the condition of buried infrastructures like sewers and water mains. This paper entitled Automated Assessment Tool for the depth of pipe deterioration presents a three step method which is a simple, robust and efficient one to detect defects in the underground concrete pipes. It identifies and extracts defect-like structures from pipe images whose contrast has been enhanced. We propose to use segmentation and feature extraction using structural elements. The main objective behind using this tool is to find the dimensions of the defect such as the length, width and depth and also the type of defect. The detection of defects in buried pipes is a crucial step in assessing the degree of pipe deterioration for municipal operators. Although the human eye is extremely effective at recognition and classification, it is not suitable for assessing pipe defects in thousands of miles of pipeline because of fatigue, subje!
ctivity and cost. Our objective is to reduce the effort and the labour of a person in detecting the defects in underground pipes.

Abstract: The mobile integrated sales management (MISM) tool is a road-map, leading the end users through the complex financial solution cycle, determining the best route and enabling full transition to a financial solution. Some of the complexities encountered in MISM, however, are because of the conventional approach used in software development. This study presents a Mobile Financial Application system (MFAS) which implements Pocket PC (PPC) to apply component-based development (CBD): it presents a unique approach to developing software in that it reuses completed components instead of developing everything from the very beginning. This research paper describes how to make use of CBD by adopting a multi-tiered design and suggests how Human Computer Interaction (HCI) approach can be used to develop MFAS for the interface. The research approach helps the user by automating data collection processes, analysis calculations and customer management as much as possible, as well !
as improving data storage for historical analysis purposes. The results present a multi-tiered architecture for MFAS and a MFAS system that shows how the modules or packages in MFAS are separately divided according to their functionality.

Abstract: Currently, people are spending a lot of time, cost and effort in looking for and buying a house. Potential buyers usually approach housing developers by visiting sales offices to look for suitable houses, which is not a very convenient method. Therefore, this research paper will discuss a web-based house information system called WebHouse that can provide buyers and housing developers with two-way communication. The paper also discusses an enhanced feature of WebHouse, which is a virtual walk-through of houses in 3D-mode rather like a film. The first phase focuses on the development of WebHouse at Klang Valley, Selangor, in the centre of Malaysia. The results are a web-based housing information system that provides information about new residential and housing projects such as house models, price ranges, specifications and descriptions of each house, etc. The results of the questionnaires distributed to six housing developers and 50 potential house buyers are also !
presented.

Abstract: Arnica montana is a phytotherapic commonly used for a medicinal purpose due to its anti-inflammatory effects. The ultrasound equipment is used the same way in Physiotherapy to control inflammatory signs like pain and edema, besides propagating substances through the skin, by phonophoresis, due to its capacity of altering the cell membrane permeability, this way providing substance absoption increasing. Considering the Arnica montana effects, from phonophoresis technique through the ultrasound and the medicines technological development of vegetal origin, this study's general aim is to investigate Arnica montana degradation when undergone to the therapeutic ultrasound use through phonophoresis using Chronoamperometry and cyclic and cyclic voltammetry techniques. Samples of Arnica montana glycolic extract in a glycolic extract in a 100 mL/L dilution were used. The ultrasound was put into practice at pulsate and continuous mode (at a 100 Hz with 20% pulse duration cyc!
les) at a 1.0 W/cm2 intensity and in times of 0, 5, 15 and 25 minutes. The cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were performed before and after the Arnica montana samples exposure to ultrasound, thus forming analytic curves compared to the ones obtained in the absence of radiation. As a result it was concluded that the ultrasound physical and chemistry's action provides electrochemistry alteration of studied substrate (Arnica montana) involving solvent (water) and extract as well. Furthermore, the findings show the possibility of Arnica montana's possibility of degradation detection through cyclic voltammetry and/or chronoamperometry techniques.

Abstract: Aspect mining is a research direction that tries to identify crosscutting concerns in already developed software systems, without using aspect oriented programming. The goal is to identify them and then to refactor them to aspects, to achieve a system that can be easily understood, maintained and modified. In this paper we aim at presenting a partitional clustering algorithm for identifying crosscutting concerns in existing software systems. We experimentally evaluate our algorithm using the open source JHotDraw case study, for three distance functions, providing a comparison of the proposed approach with similar existing approaches. The experimental evaluation conducts us to the best semi-metric distance function to be used in the clustering process.

Abstract: In the paper, a modular climbing-wall mobile robot with four magnetic wheels is presented. It can move on the vertical steel wall and inspect the weld seam. First, the structure of the mobile robot is analyzed. It is modular, which consists of a light manipulator module, an ultrasonic probes module and a weld testing sensors module. Then, the magnetic wheels are designed and analysed. One magnetic wheel consists of two pieces of magnet and three pieces of pure steel plates. Second, the motion of the robot on the vertical cylindrical vessel is analysed in detail. The position deviation and angle deviation are adjusted with the geometric method. At last, the experiments of the modular climbing-wall robot on real vertical steel vessel are shown to verify the above motion analysis and design requirements at Nanjing refinery factory in China. It is of high reliability and simple control.

Abstract: The combination of MIMO and OFDM becomes a key standardization work for the downlink channel in 3G Long-Term Evolution (3G-LTE). This paper studies one of the core techniques of 3G-LTE downlink: the coding and decoding schemes in a time-variable multipath environment. It discusses the MIMO schemes for 3G-LTE downlink, the STBC/SFBC, SFTC/STTC and Group layered SFC coding-decoding schemes. This paper also discusses channel estimation scheme based on pilot symbol assistance (PSA), including the pilot pattern and the channel tracking algorithms. The computation complexity, frequency efficiency, BER performance and the effects of channel estimation are analyzed under multi-path fading channel environments. Then we give computer simulation results for the coding-decoding schemes. We believe that results will provide beneficial information to design the 3G-LTE downlink channels.

Abstract: Induction generators in self excited mode are found to be suitable for remote and windy locations. Prior to installation there is a need to predict the behaviour of machine under all possible operating conditions. This is possible through steady state modeling of such generators. Steady state analysis of self excited induction generator (SEIG) needs an estimation of generated frequency and magnetizing reactance under all possible operating conditions. So far most of the researchers have used loop impedance, nodal admittance or iterative techniques to determine the steady state performance of such machines. In this paper a new model based upon phasor diagram of induction generator has been proposed to analyze the behaviour of self excited induction generator. Modeling results in a third order equation in generated frequency and a simple expression for magnetizing reactance. Complete mathematical analysis to derive the different expressions is presented here. Compu!
ted results have been compared with experimental results on test machines. Closeness between the two proves the validity of proposed modeling.

Abstract: Three phase supply system is found to be quite balanced in both magnitude and displacement at the generation levels but it is not so at distribution end. Voltage unbalance which is a common and global phenomenon is found to be very effective in deteriorating the performance of electrical apparatus at user end. Such environment badly affects the performance of induction motors, an important class of electric machines which is widely used in industrial. Present paper is an attempt to tackle such operations with specific recommendations & proposals. Symmetrical component approach is adopted to estimate the performance of a three-phase induction motor operating with unbalanced supply system. Further MATLAB/SIMULINK & PSIM environments have been used simultaneously for simulation purpose. A new approach is proposed to rerate the motor operating with voltage unbalance.

Abstract: The increasing need for efficient image storage and transmission in hospitals imposes heavy requirements on the design of picture archiving and communication systems. Thus new methods are needed for efficient image compression. Recent reviews of wavelets in biomedical applications showed that wavelets should be used with caution and that a particular solution should always be motivated by the problem itself. This study discovers the best design parameters for a data compression scheme applied to medical images of different imaging modalities. The proposed technique aims at reducing the transmission cost while preserving the diagnostic integrity. Experimental results show that the selection of the best parameters has a dramatic effect on the data compression rate of medical images. Statistical significance tests were performed on the experimental measures to conduct the most suitable wavelet shape for each imaging modality. Image quality measures are used to evaluat!
e the performance of different wavelet filters for different imaging modalities. Image resolution is found to have a remarkable effect on the compression rate. In this paper we will show that modified simple but efficient calculation scheme foe all wavelet transformation in image compression.

Abstract: Zero wastewater discharge has been the ultimate goal of green water utilization in process industries. To make the water network with zero wastewater discharge economically beneficial, the system should be optimized. Alumina industry is a heavy water consumption industry, hence studying water re-use and zero wastewater discharge (ZWD) for water system in alumina plants is very important. This paper analyzes a practical water system of an aluminum plant on the basis of graphical method for ZWD water system. The water system of aluminum plant features great amount of water loss and consists of several operation with fixed flowrate constraints. On the concentration-mass load diagram, the optimal water supply line considering water loss for the water system with ZWD is constructed. The optimal regeneration water flow rate and optimal regeneration concentration are targeted. Base on these targets and local recycling scheme, the optimal water using network with ZWD consi!
dering fixed flowrate constraints is obtained. The alumina plant accomplishes the goal of zero wastewater discharge and the freshwater saving rate achieves 62.7%.

Abstract: The delivery of multimedia that efficiently maximizes its quality in changing network conditions is one of the most challenging tasks in the design of live streaming systems. This study attempts to improve current P2P (peer-to-peer) live streaming systems by allowing users to enjoy high-quality service under the limitations of network resources. The proposed improvement method involves summing up and analyzing the consideration factors and restriction factors involving live stream quality during system operations. The proposed R-D (Rate-Distortion) optimized dynamic nodes join algorithm is based on multipath streaming concept and receiver-driven approach. This distributed algorithm enables the system to evaluate the current network status, in order to optimize the end-to-end distortion of P2P networks. Results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) aims to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and retailers, not merely to ensure that merchandise is produced and distributed in the appropriate quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, but also to minimize system wide costs while satisfying customer requirements. With global transnational enterprise layout trend, data consistency convergence study is a key of improving competitions and Bullwhip Effect problem in the GSCM. Besides, data consistency issues might induce different dependency relations in different extranet applications and partial dependency to several distributed original data source (ODS). In this paper, we consider the problem and solve it using a service routable consistency framework (Distributed Heterogeneous Web Service Routing based Portal; DHWSRP). The model based on a scalable routing service algorithm that dynamic reconfiguration forwarding data path within hierarchical !
enterprise region portals. By ripple propagate updating; SCM copies that existed in heterogeneity of enterprise database with specified ODS partially dependency relationships can be automatically updated. About efficient integrate SCM partner, we propose a Dynamic Information Exchange Center (DIEC) for creating a dynamic supply chain network in an Internet environment. Agent technology supports users in negotiating with upstream suppliers or downstream demanders and making decisions regarding partner selection. The framework allows enterprises to find more opportunities to cooperate with other partners. In business, such a framework not only reduces purchase costs and saves time for enterprises in reaching agreement but also eliminate Bullwhip Effect problem in GSCM.

Abstract: The purpose of this research employs concepts of control charts to establish a new evaluation standard for a test quality index. First, this study establishes criteria for assessing test quality by exploring the item discrimination index (D) in the general test areas. Further, data of this one index are normalized, and standard deviation is applied for the control limit of the control chart. Thus, the zone rules for the standardized D (SD) control chart proposed in this study are found to be an excellent evaluation method for test quality from the perspective of control charts.

Abstract: Least flow time priority (LFF-PRIORITY) load distribution approach is developed to deal with task size priority and task deadline priority. One of the most critical problem of this approach is that it does not consider the task interdependency. In this paper we propose a dynamically load balancing technique called INTERDEP-PRIORITY which takes into consideration the task interdependency. The testing results clearly show that approximately 70% of tasks meet their deadlines under INTERDEP-PRIORITY strategy.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Abstract: - This paper presents dynamic compensations in a micro hard drive. It reviews dynamic models of the drive in low-and high-frequency regions. The nonlinear friction compensation for low-frequency dynamic is achieved via a fuzzy logic controller. Forward and backward micro-step motion of the read/write head can be nicely performed. Resonance compensation for high-frequency dynamic is achieved via linear compensation. The paper presents some comparison studies of using a cascaded lead compensator, a complex lead-lag compensator, and a searched polynomial compensator. The compensated system's performance is enhanced further by stable nonlinear control. Detailed descriptions of modelling, design, simulation results, and analysis can be found in the paper.

Abstract: This paper describes a new rule discovery algorithm called Distributed Relational Inductive Learning DRILA, which has been developed as part of ongoing research of the Inductive Learning Algorithm (ILA) [11], and its extension ILA2 [12] which were built to learn from a single table, and the Relational Inductive Learning Algorithm (RILA) [13], [14] which was developed to learn from a group of interrelated tables, i.e. a centralized database. DRILA allows discovery of distributed relational rules using data from distributed relational databases. It consists of a collection of sites, each of which maintains a local database system, or a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. The basic assumption of the algorithm is that objects to be analyzed are stored in a set of tables that are distributed over many locations. Distributed relational rules discovered would either be used in predicting an unknown object attribute!
value, or they can be used to extract the hidden relationship between the objects' attribute values. The rule discovery algorithm, developed, was designed to use data available from many locations (sites), any possible 'connected' schema at each location where tables concerned are connected by foreign keys. In order to have a reasonable performance, the 'hypotheses search' algorithm was implemented to allow construction of new hypotheses by refining previously constructed hypotheses, thereby avoiding the work of re-computing. Unlike many other relational learning algorithms, the DRILA algorithm does not need its own copy of distributed relational data to process it. This is important in terms of the scalability and usability of the distributed relational data mining solution that has been developed. The architecture proposed can be used as a framework to upgrade other propositional learning algorithms to relational learning.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: IQ signal processing is widely utilized in today¡¦s communication system. However, it usually faces a common problem of front-end distortion such as IQ imbalance and frequency offset. Effective algorithms exist for estimating and compensating for IQ imbalance as well as frequency offset, when the two problems are treated separately. With both effects present, such algorithms do not lead to useful estimates of the related parameters. In this paper, we propose a robust technique to estimate and compensate for the IQ imbalance in the presence of carry frequency offset (CFO) by using a known preamble of repeated training sequence. In addition, to solve the problem of performance degradation when CFO is small we developed an adaptive scheme with small residual degradations. The performance of such a scheme has been validated by computer simulations on IEEE 802.11a signals. And it is shown that the proposed method is more robust and renders better performance than existi!
ng algorithm.

Abstract: In this paper we propose an algorithmic verification technique to check generalized noninterference. Our technique is based on the counterexamples search strategy mainly which generating counterexamples of minimal length. In order to make the verification procedure terminate as soon as possible we also discuss how to integrate the window induction proof strategy in our technique. We further show how to reduce counterexamples search and induction proof to quantified propositional satisfiability. This reduction enables us to use efficient quantified propositional decision procedures to perform generalized noninterference checking.

Abstract: The image source-reverse transform is proposed for image structure representation and analysis, which is based on an electro-static analogy. In the proposed transform, the image is taken as the potential field and the virtual source of the image is reversed imitating the Gauss's law. Region border detection is effectively implemented based on the virtual source representation of the image structure. Moreover, the energy concentration property of the proposed transform is investigated for promising application in lossy image compression. Experimental results indicate that the proposed source-reverse transform can achieve efficient representation of image structure, and has promising application in image processing tasks.

Abstract: Steganography is an application of data hiding which can attain camouflage and increase security by embedding the secret message into digital media for sending to the receiver without leaking to the third party. Several proposed methods which construct stegoimage by embedding the secret message into the colour palette. The person who receives the stegoimage can extract the secret message from the palette obtained by the received image. This method, however, greatly degrades the quality of the stegoimage and tends to arouse the intention of the intruders. In this paper, we propose a method for constructing stegoimages with high quality which greatly eliminate the above problem. The advantage of the proposed method is that the image quality is highly improved by accompanying with improvement of security and camouflage of the secret message. In order to avoid the intruder to attack the generated palette when transmission, the sender does not need to send the palette !
to the receiver directly, but instead asking the receiver to own a copy of the original secret image or obtain one when needed for extracting the secret message. Fortunately, there are several image pools which contain a lot of images allowing to be accessed by the public. The experimental results show that our method outperforms EZ stego and the methods proposed by Fridrich and Wu et al.

Abstract: SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) sector forms as much as 99% of business entities around the world. While SMEs in developed economies are getting fair attention of policy makers, those in developing economies, particularly in South Asia, are yet to get such attention. Being the primary suppliers to most exporting firms, or being exporters themselves, the performance of SMEs can be fairly expected to contribute to industrial development and growth of an economy. With the recent emphasis by businesses around the world on "core-competence", more and more activities are being outsourced to SMEs in developing economies. However the performance and business practices of SMEs in developing economies remain much lower than those of SMEs from developed economies. Considering the lack of required policy support for SMEs, effective Supplier Development by large buyers presents a potent tool for developing the performance and business practices of SMEs in developing economie!
s. Based on the literature base addressing current supplier development practices around the globe, particularly in developing economies, this paper presents the results of a survey of Supplier Development activities undertaken by manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The results offer an insight into the most and least used techniques with discussion on the reasons of adoption or otherwise. The results will be of interest to large firms that outsource their business activities to South Asia.

Title of the Paper: joint optimization algorithm for network reconfiguration and reactive power control of wind farm in distribution system
Authors as they appear in the Paper:
Email addresses of all the authors:
Number of paper pages: 13
Abstract: In recent years, the number of small size wind farms used as DG sources located within the distribution system are rapidly increasing. Wind farm made up with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) is proposed in this paper as the continuous reactive power source to support system voltage control due to the reactive power control capability of DFIG. In the distribution system, considering network reconfiguration and wind farm reactive power control are both used to improve power profile and they have an inherent coupling relationship, in this paper, a joint optimization algorithm of combining reactive power control of wind farm and network reconfiguration is proposed. In the proposed joint optimization algorithm, an improved hybrid particle swarm optimization with wavelet mutation algorithm (HPSOWM) is developed for voltage profile improvement which utilized reactive power output of wind farm as the control variable. In each particle updating instance at each iterat!
ion of reactive power output optimization algorithm, a binary particle swarm optimization algorithm (BPSO) is utilized to find the optimal network structure. Finally, classical 16-node feeder is used as a test case to evaluate the algorithm. The experimental result demonstrates the correctness of the algorithm.

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to design a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) based fuzzy controller for a Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) device like the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) to enhance the transient stability performance of the power system. The UPFC controls the real and reactive power flow along the transmission lines and thereby improves the power oscillation damping. It can provide dynamic control of transmission parameters such as voltage, line impedance and phase angle. Here the versatile UPFC has been implemented in the standard nine bus system. The application of TS fuzzy controller provides a wide range of control gain variations by including both linear and non-linear terms in the consequent part of the fuzzy rule base. Several computer simulation tests on the nine bus system illustrate the efficiency of the TS fuzzy controller in damping the electromechanical oscillations and thereby enhance the transient stability of the system.

Abstract: GPS receivers have been profitably employed by researchers for investigations into ionospheric and atmospheric science. However, a number of improvements in measurement accuracy are necessary for today's applications. The ionosphere has practical importance in GPS applications because it influences transionospheric radio wave propagation. Total Electron Content (TEC) is one of the parameters of the ionosphere that produces the most effects in many radio applications such as radio communications, navigation and space weather. The delay of the GPS signals affects the accuracy of GPS positioning. The determination of the TEC will aid in reliable space-based navigation system. By modelling this TEC parameter, the evaluation of the ionospheric error and the correction of these ionospheric errors for differential GPS can be done. Determination of the differential ionospheric error to sub-centimetre accuracy is described in this paper utilizing a developed model. An ionos!
pheric delay model was developed to accurately determine the difference in ionospheric delay expected over a short baseline so that a more accurate differential GPS correction could be made. An ionospheric error correction model should be made applicable to any location including the equatorial region. The results showed that the developed algorithm is a function of elevation angle and TEC from the reference station path to the satellite and could give differential ionospheric delay in sub-centimetre accuracy.

Abstract: Many studies have been carried out to develop a suitable statistical model in order to describe wind energy potential. The most important parameter in estimating the wind energy potential is wind speed. Wind speed is a random phenomenon; statistical methods will be very useful in estimating it. For this reason, wind speed probabilities can be estimated by using probability distributions. An accurate determination of probability distribution for wind speed values is very important in evaluating wind speed energy potential of a region Based on the past literature; Weibull and Rayleigh are two widely used distributions. However, in this paper, Burr, Lognormal and Frechet distribution were applied to data sets for a specific location in Pahang, Malaysia. In determining the proper distribution, an approach consisting Kolmogorov-Smirnov (Ks), Anderson Darling (AD) and chi square (��2) test also the fitted graphics of probability distribution function (PDF) !
and cumulative distribution function (CDF) have been used. Based on the graphical and the computed goodness of fit results, general inference can be made that Burr distribution would be the best model which fitted the data very well.

Abstract: In this study, a thermodynamic simulation of a solar absorption refrigeration system has been carried out. The binary mixture considered in the present investigation was NH3-H2O (Ammonia-Water). The influences of operating conditions and effectiveness of heat exchanger on the thermal loads of components, coefficients of performance (COPc, COP) and efficiency ratio (į) are investigated. It is concluded that the COPc and COP values increase with increasing generator and evaporator temperatures but decrease with increasing condenser and absorber temperatures. The (į) value varies with these temperatures. Also, the effects of solution heat exchanger on the performance, efficiency ratio of the system and fluid temperatures are compared. It is found that the effectiveness of heat exchanger determines the maximum temperature that can be used in order to obtain the maximum COP out of the system.

Abstract: : GPS has become the buzzword in the navigation industries which include automotive, satellite, avionics and marine sectors. It is widely recognized as the most accurate method of navigation in the world. The Earth¡¯s ionosphere plays a crucial role in Global Positioning System (GPS) accuracy because this layer can lead to errors in positioning which may exceed 100 m. However, positioning accuracy can be reached after the removal or mitigation of different error sources. The influence of the ionosphere is one of the main problems in ambiguity resolution for carrier phase. Resolving the initial phase ambiguities of GPS carrier phase observations has always been considered an important aspect of GPS processing techniques. In this study we are reviewing the ambiguity resolution problem under the new aspect of using ionospheric models over equatorial region for single frequency over short baseline distance. The observation data is at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Joho!
r (1¢ª 33¡¯ 56.93¡±N, 103¢ª 38¡¯ 22.42¡±E), UTMJ, and Kukup, Johor (1¢ª19¡¯59.791¡±N, 103¢ª27¡¯12.354¡±E), KUKP on 8 November 2005 from Malaysia Department of Survey and mapping, JUPEM was used. From the model, we can get differential ionospheric delay in sub-centimetre accuracy. This can also be used by a single frequency receiver for a short time in short baselines. Findings show improvements in the correction of the differential ionospheric error over short baselines. The ambiguities were resolved when the variance ratio increased and the reference variances decreased.

Abstract: E-learning offers great opportunities for education quality improvement in both - the classical teaching combined with e-learning, and distance learning. Zagreb School of Economics & Management (ZSEM) is one of the few higher education institutions in Croatia that systematically uses e-learning in teaching. Systematically means that all courses are developed in e-learning form and that among all courses is used the same LMS (Learning Management System). School management played an important role in the systematic introduction of e-learning in the educational process. At ZSEM there are currently enrolled around 1100 students, and it has developed around 100 different e-learning courses. In order to motivate students to be more active, except obligatory syllabus parts, we developed additional online activities. Discussions are very important part of each e-learning system. In this paper we will analyze the online discussion in the framework of the course Information !
and Communication Technologies (ICT), which is taking place in 1st semester. Especially, we will analyze the impact of closed discussions on the final grade of the student and see whether there is correlation among closed discussion and other Syllabus's parts as well as with the basic parts of e-learning systems such as quiz activity, calendar, mail or other sites.

Abstract: Underwater images are comes under the special category images because they have some special characteristics which are different from the other images. They often have a background color mostly blue or green also they often suffers from verity of problems such as limited range, non-uniform lightening, low contrast, color diminished etc. this paper deals with a novel algorithm which is n automatic algorithm mainly concerning on enhancing contrast, adjusting colors of underwater images based on the adaptive histogram equalization Technique. The histogram equalization (HE) method is widely used for image contrast enhancement. The histogram equalization uses the complete image plane. On the other side our technique i.e. adaptive histogram equalization technique first divides the complete image into small sub images and then applies histogram equalization technique on those sub images. Although the AHE it self not able to remove the noises present in the underwater ima!
ges, the algorithm uses combination of median and Gaussian filter for efficient noise filtering. Thus the algorithm not only provides image enhancement as well as provides noise filtration also. The proposed algorithm is a spatial domain approach. The spatial domain is nothing but the image plane it self. The methods in the spatial domain are based on direct manipulation of the pixels and therefore provides faster and efficient image enhancement.
Keywords: Underwater image enhancement, Histogram, Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Median filter, Gaussian filter.

Abstract: In this paper, the high performance tools like distributions are presented, modeled, simulated and applied to solve difficult control problems. First, there are introduced the distributions defined on fundamental space Km and the elementary distributions pulse and step are synthesized, modeled and simulated and then applied on significant examples. Next, are presented several new theorems and properties in order to ensure the necessary tools to solve three typical control applications. These are: DC servo adaptive controller, three phase PWM controller and water drain process controller. For each of these, there is presented the mathematical model which is then simulated. The simulation results prove the simplicity and correctness of the proposed solutions. The distributions based solutions can be easily coded in any programming language, even in a hardware description language to be downloaded in an ASIC chip as part of an embedded controller.

Abstract: Hybrid mechanical press is an innovative sheet metal stamping press that has the advantages of both mechanical press and the hydraulic press. This paper focuses on the control of the hybrid mechanical press, including trajectory planning, trajectory optimization and real time feedback control. The trajectory planning is based on inverse kinematics and cubic spline interpolation. The trajectory optimization is used to realize the desirable punch trajectory under multiple constraints on velocity, acceleration and jerk of the servomotor. Finally, an improved PID algorithm, called the integral separated piecewise PID scheme, is used for real time feedback control. Based on the experiments on a 25 ton industrial prototype, the control ensures the desirable performance of the press.

Abstract: One of the most effective project time and cost controlling systems is called Earned Value Management (EVM). This system is applied worldwide in different projects of many kinds. Australia, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Sweden and Japan were the pioneers of applying this system and new reports show that other countries are joining this list. EVM metrics are the three primary concepts of planned, accomplished and actual work, which are integrated measures of time and costs. A number of researchers have found that the time metrics didn't judiciously refer to the schedule performance of a project. One of the recent improvements to the EVM is the application of new time metrics (Schedule Variance (time) (SV(t)) and Schedule Performance Index (time) (SPI(t))), which are based on time units instead of monetary units. A 15-month Iranian pipeline project, called "Ardak-Mashad Water Supply", was controlled by the EVM in this paper. The stages of applying the EVM in!
this project are described and the difficulties that the EVM team encountered are also presented. In addition, the paper attempts to clarify the application of common time EVM metrics and compare them with the new set of time metrics to interpret the schedule performance of a project. All satisfactory results of the EVM application, are displayed in this paper.
