Abstract: Abstract: In recent years, there is a need to expand the performance of studying in order to build national power and improve the well-being for our country¡¦s people. At the 7th national scientific meeting, leaders drafted 6 tactics to guide the first stage of the national scientific development plan of Cheng (the 94-97th year of R.O.C.) for promoting the development of science and technology until 2008. The plan is to use the pool of operating dollars to fund improvement activities. As a result, the theme of Scientific and Technological Education International became the main theme for research in 2005-2008. The purpose of the research is to: 1. Design a course with an emphasis on the transnational digit platform (d-learning) as a way to produce research and study internationally cooperatively and to promote the international exchange and study of science and technology education to a great extent. 2. Provide a clearing house for an international collection of!
science and technology teaching materials, teaching methods, teaching policies, and a means for distributing the information to small and medium school districts in Taiwan. 3. Provide an impetus to cooperatively study teaching and exchange the findings with the world. Aviation technology education is the focus of the transnational d-learning course.

Abstract: This paper focuses on minimizing makespan of identical-machines scheduling problems with mold constraints. In this kind of problems, jobs are non-preemptive with mold constraints and several identical machines are available. Feasible solutions are randomly generated and evolved by the proposed approach and an adjustment operator is designed to fill up the empty time slot due to the mold constraint. The proposed approach can also be easily extended to solve the same problem but with the fitness function of the total complete time. Experiments with and without the adjustment operator are made to analyze the performance of the proposed approach. Experimental results show that the adjustment operator does increase the performance of the scheduling.

Abstract: The potential environmental suitability and economic viability of growing two biodiesel crops in marginal regions of Australia were explored. Firstly, we used spatial analysis techniques to identify marginal regions suitable for growing pongam (Pongamia pinnata) and Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), and determined the base socio-economic viability of investments for the production of biodiesel in the identified areas. Secondly, we used climate change projections (target years 2030 and 2070) from the CSIRO Mk3.0 Global Circulation Model (GCM) generated for two emission scenarios (A1B and A1FI) to determine the shift in potential areas for these crops. Under the climate change scenarios tested, the total area of suitability of growing pongam is not substantially different from the suitable area under current climate, indicating that long term investments in this perennial tree crop could be viable. There is greater variation in suitability projections for Indian must!
ard, although there is more flexibility for cropping options given that this it is an annual crop. However, future economic viability is likely to depend on the ability to receive renewable energy certificates (RECs) for both crops, and certified emission reductions (CERs) for pongam only. Opportunities for pongam agroforestry to supply biodiesel to regional towns, cattle stations and mines in northern Australia are likely.

Abstract: Medical images display incredibly complex anatomical or functional scenes which have a meaning only for specialists. It is an interesting question how radiologists analyze medical images. Of course the radiologists are trained to extract pathological pixel grey-level compared to normal tissues grey level. In many medical image segmentation applications identifying and extracting the region of interest (ROI) accurately is an important step. The usual approach to extract ROI is to apply image segmentation methods. In this paper we focus on extracting ROI by segmentation based on visual attended locations. Chan-Vese active contour model is used for image segmentation and attended locations are determined by SaliencyToolbox. For the telemedicine application we have integrated image segmentation with adaptive compression technique. When the set of regions of interest is selected, these regions need to be represented with the highest quality while the remaining parts of !
the processed image could be represented with a lower quality. In result, higher compression is obtained.

Abstract: In this paper we present a new method for analyzing some properties of the Mandelbrot Set. The algorithm used for our visual analysis is closely connected to Pickover Stalks and Buddhabrot method. Pickover Stalks method created biomorphs, diverse and complicated forms greatly resembling invertebrate organisms. Our method extends these previously developed methods that introduce the concept of preserving information about calculation steps when calculating the Mandelbrot Set. We create images that visualize statistical information for the calculation-paths of points tested for belonging to the Mandelbrot Set. Two variations of this method are presented: one that only takes into account the paths taken and one that also uses information about their lengths. We have developed software that enables us to analyze new properties of the Mandelbrot Set that can be seen when these new display methods are used. In this paper we also present in detail important features of ou!
r software.

Abstract: A technique is presented in which satellite solar insolation estimates are used to predict daily reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using the Penman-Monteith (PM), Preistly-Taylor (PT) and Hargreaves-Samini (HS) methods for Puerto Rico. For this approach, average, minimum and maximum daily air temperatures were obtained from a regression procedure that depends on surface elevation and day of the year. The air temperature was adjusted using actual daily temperatures from several locations in Puerto Rico. Dew point temperature was assumed to be equal to the daily minimum temperature, and a value of 1.9 m/s was assumed for wind speed. As an example, ETo was estimated for March 5, 2009 using the three methods, with the Penman-Monteith method producing the lowest values. This paper also presents a comparison between estimated and observed solar radiation from April 1 through June 21, 2009, which indicates a need for calibration of the solar radiation remote sensi!
ng product. As a practical example application of the use of the methodology, the Hargraeves-Samani ETo was estimated for a crop season. The crop evapotranspiration (ET) was estimated by multiplying the ETo by a crop coefficient (Kc). The goal of the analysis, which considered five different crops and seven locations, was to determine the cumulative seasonal water consumptive use. Determination of the seasonal water consumptive use is valuable for determining water supply infrastructure for farms and irrigation districts. This research represents a preliminary step in the development of an ETo product for PR. This product is a potentially valuable tool for conducting water resource studies and for supporting irrigation scheduling efforts.

Abstract: Describing the architecture of complex software systems need a comprehensive models and complete tools. The description of software systems can be achieved by using an architecture description language (ADL) or an object oriented modeling language. In this article, we show how we can build a hybrid model to describe the architecture of software systems. This model is based on the two approaches. First we define a metamodel for software architecture, next based on this metamodel we implement an environment for describing the architecture of software systems.

Abstract: Many practical applications including speech and audio processing, signal processing, system identification, econometrics and time series analysis involve the problem of reconstructing a dynamic system model from data observed with noise in all variables. We consider an important class of dynamic single-input single-output nonlinear systems where the system model is polynomial in observations but linear in parameters, which captures a wide range of such systems. Assuming white Gaussian measurement noise that is characterized by a magnitude and a covariance structure, we propose a nonlinear extension to the generalized Koopmans-Levin method that can estimate parameters of dynamic nonlinear systems with polynomial nonlinearities given a priori knowledge on the noise covariance structure. In order to estimate noise structure, we apply a covariance matching objective function. Combining the extended Koopmans-Levin and the covariance matching approaches, an identificati!
on algorithm to estimate both model and noise parameters is proposed. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulations.

Abstract: Examining the special model which belongs to Dudzinski and Mykytowycz (1961), and was used in a study made by them to find the age of Oryctolagus Caniculus, which lives in Europe and is known as the European rabbit, with live eye lens weight, we showed that similar results can be obtained with the Gompertz and Logistic nonlinear regression models. We determined that the results given by the models are showing the goodness of fit, as a result of a statistical analysis. Furthermore we showed that adding various parameters to Dudzinski and Mykytowycz model will not change the results.

Abstract: This paper presents the modeling of an optical diaphragm behavior for human pulse pressure detection. In this study, the comparison between the performance of the polyimide and silicon nitride diaphragm has been presented. The effects of diaphragm radius and diaphragm thickness on static and frequency response are also investigated. The findings show that the polyimide diaphragm is more sensitive than the silicon nitride diaphragm. In addition, deflection of both diaphragms has linear relationship with the applied pressure The diaphragm radius has more effect on the deflection, sensitivity and resonance frequency as compared to the diaphragm thickness. It can be concluded that the polyimide diaphragm achieves the optimum performance in terms of the deflection, sensitivity, and resonance frequency for human pulse pressure detection. Thus, the polyimide diaphragm has been chosen as the best model in designing an optical micro-diaphragm.

Abstract: This paper provides a novel technique for designing the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) stabilizer. In the power system, STATCOM stabilizer plays an important role, which will affect the damping and synchronizing torque components. Furthermore, the damping and synchronizing torque have great impact on the stability of the power system. Based on above, a new concept namely torque-area is introduced. Through the torque-area method, the design and optimization of STATCOM stabilezer are performed easily. The optimized STATCOM stabilizer can maintain enough sycshronizing torque as well as damping torque, and consequently the problem of synchronizing torque deteriorated due to the stabilizer is solved. At the end of this paper, a simulation case is provided, and the results demonstrate that the method works effectively.

Abstract: Prototyping of wireless radio is one of the major stages of the entire development process. It invariably has an interface to the Analog to digital converters (ADC) / Digital to Analog converters (DAC) and RF front end. This paper discusses in detail the design issues and solutions for baseband- RF front end interface, of a wireless radio. In these kinds of systems, the FPGA tends to be connected to the baseband DSP processor through the system bus. The FPGA is then used to implement additional baseband processing, hardware accelerators, ADC/DAC interfaces and RF control, to name a few. The DSP processor will need to communicate with these components through the system bus. Some of these components require high bandwidth and others requires low bandwidth from the system bus. There is a need for a design approach where that avoids slow interfaces, such as RF control interface, from hogging the system bus, which in turn will affect the overall performance of the ent!
ire system. This paper presents a System Bus-SPI bridge design approach to mitigate the interfacing issues in wireless system prototyping, especially when the supporting hardware, like RF module, is predefined. The proposed design enables the DSP Processor to access the System Bus concurrently while the SPI programming is in progress. Verilog hardware description language is used to design the System bus –SPI Bridge and Modelsim is used to verify the functionality of the design. The proposed design was implemented on an Altera STRATIX II FPGA.

Abstract: UPFC is one of the FACTS devices that it is used for power flow control and voltage stabilizing. UPFC has four control loops that with adding an extra signal to one of the control loops dynamic stability is increased and load angle oscillations are damped. It is usually used from speed duration of synchronous generator as input signal for designing damping controllers. In this paper, it has been used from state-space equations for designing damping controller and it has been considered influences of active and reactive power flow durations as input of damping controller. For stability increasing, in addition to Lead-Lag and LQR controllers adaptive controller has been used that it is able to identify power system parameters. The simulation results obviously show appropriate application of adaptive controller for decreasing rotor speed oscillations against perturbations such as input mechanical torque.

Abstract: In recent years, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) has demonstrated excellent performance in a variety of pattern recognition problems. In this paper, we proposed modified KNN for the Chinese minority scripts classification, using wavelet energy distribution and wavelet energy proportions features generated from the discrete wavelet multi-resolution decomposition. The experimental results show that the method achieves high accuracy in testing dataset that consists of Chinese, English and Chinese minority scripts such as Tibetan, Tai Lue, Naxi Pictographs, Uighur, Tai Le, Yi. The results also show that this method is feasible and reasonable, and the recognition rate is up to 96%.

Abstract: This study discusses the interaction effects of organizational factors and individual factors on safety performance. 465 employees from four colleges in central Taiwan completed a self-administered questionnaire. The researchers used a two-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to analyze the data. The researchers found that there are interaction effects on safety performance between 1) size and accident experience; 2) safety committee and gender; 3) safety committee and accident experience; 4) location and accident experience. Because the interaction effects discovered are disordinal, safety managers must take measures to improve safety for different classes of employees in different kinds of organizations. Based on these results, the authors advise safety managers to take note of these interaction effects in order to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of safety improvements.

Abstract: This paper deals with parameter estimation of sinusoids within a Bayesian framework. Bayesian inference about the parameters is a challenging computational problem and requires an evaluation of complicated high-dimensional integrals and a solution of multi dimensional optimization of posterior probability density function, which has many local minimum. In this context, we make an attempt to improve an efficient stochastic procedure, proposed by Gregory, which is based on a parallel tempering Markov Chain Monte Carlo method (MCMC). Its algorithm is coded in Mathematica and then tested for estimating parameters of noisy sinusoids. Computer simulations support its effectiveness and demonstrate its performance, according to Cramér-Rao lower bound for sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratios and data lengths.

Abstract: We consider here a problem of simultaneous detecting and estimating of sinusoids corrupted by random noise within a Bayesian framework. Unfortunately, all Bayesian inference drawn from posterior probability distributions of parameters requires evaluation of some complicated high-dimensional integrals. Therefore, an attempt for performing the Bayesian computation is made to improve an efficient stochastic algorithm based on Reversible Jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) methods, which allows to obtain all the features of the a-posteriori distribution. Its algorithm is coded by using Mathematica programming language and evaluated in a number of simulation studies on synthetic data sets. All the simulations results support the effectiveness of the method for detecting and estimating sinusoids embedded in noise.

Abstract: We have simulated the behaviors of nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The generalized nonlinear equations governing these structures are solved by a method which uses a Fourier series procedure and a simple iterative method. All of the nonlinear effects are considered. Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs are studied. We found that the first order dispersion can causes time shifting in the input pulse peak. It is shown that FBGs are proper for optical switching too. They can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc.

Abstract: An important ingredient of health care is the correct initial diagnosis of chest ailments using images of chest radiograph. This paper develops a simple graphical method to aid the initial screening and discrimination of pneumonia patients (PNEU) from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, lung cancer (LC) patients and normal healthy individuals (NL). Approximate confidence regions using principal component methods on selected texture measures detect and discriminate PNEU from PTB, LC and NL. A brief simulation study indicates that the probability ellipsoid is robust to mild deviation from normality with the presence of two outliers. The main result of this study is that the PNEU-ellipsoid when applied to test data is capable of detecting pneumonia in the sense that 100% of NL, 85% of LC and 65% of PTB will be rejected when using contrast texture measures. Using the combination of twelve features gives similar results. Membership of PNEU-ellipsoid obtained fro!
m the chest radiograph image can be used as a useful first stage detection of pneumonia.

Using the combination of twelve features gives similar results. Membership of PNEU-ellipsoid obtained fro!
m the chest radiograph image can be used as a useful first stage detection of pneumonia.

Abstract: In this research, modal analysis of a second stage blade in a gas turbine was investigated by experimental and analytical examinations and results were compared together. The blade was made of a nickel-base alloy Nimonic115. The analytical calculation by using finite element method was utilized to determine natural frequencies of turbine blade in various conditions. The dynamic characteristics of the turbine blade were evaluated by the finite element modal and harmonic analysis. Finally by using a Campbell diagram there was a good agreement between the experimental and FEM results.

Abstract: Long-wavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (LW-VCSEL) have profound advantages compared to traditional edge-emitting lasers and its commercialization is gaining momentum as the local and access network in optical communication system expands. In this paper, we present the design parameter variations of multi quantum wells (MQW) in the active region of an InP-based long-wavelength vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (LW-VCSEL) utilizing an air-post design. The MQW and barrier thickness were varied and their effect on the device threshold current, optical power, gain, lattice temperature, peak wavelength and reflectivity were analysed and presented. Quantum well thickness of 5.5 nm and barrier thickness of 8 nm gives the optimum threshold current of 0.579 mA, optical power output of 4.2 mW, modal gain of 27 cm-1, lattice temperature of 310.6 K and peak wavelength of 1.562 ìm.

Abstract: This paper examines the relationships among credit default swaps (CDS), government bailout, and default risk in bank equity returns. In a model where CDS trading is the transaction for controlling credit risk, changes in the bank¡¦s CDS demand or structural changes in the CDS provider, caused by government-bailout affect bank¡¦s default risk. An increase in CDS increases the optimal bank interest margin and decreases default risk in equity return when the CDS provider is healthy. Structural changes in the CDS provider caused by government¡¦s increasing bailout decreases the optimal interest margin and increases default risk. This scenario causes bank concern that CDS issues plaguing the insurer will affect bank margin management.

Abstract: In recent years, the theoretical models of mass consumer behavior have change to buy from websites rather than in stores. Because the high-growing of e-commerce, a new demand emerges: the special-purpose search engine for searching goods from network shop. How to meet the customer¡¦s requirement in product search is an import problem. Although it is easy for human eyes to determine the existence of clothes styles, recognizing it automatically from a computer program is not a trivial problem. Our work focuses on the garment retrieval from the e-shopping database, which supports feature-based retrieval by shape categories and styles. Traditionally the rigid shape-based algorithms unable to apply well on garment images. Because the clothing is essentially a non-rigid soft object: it is apt to self-occlusion, folding, and has deformation among every part (such as sleeve and tube). While producing deformation, it also influenced by light which lead to various kinds of s!
hade at clothes, and the surface might include various kinds of pattern, texture, little piece, and decorate, these will all cause the great interference on image analysis.

Abstract: In the modern electronic era, multiplier is used in various systems ranging from a simple calculator to complex control system and plays an important role in digital and analog systems. The performance of many computational problems is often influenced by the speed at which a multiplication can be executed. That is multiplication is a bottleneck in speed of many computational devices. Therefore it has become a necessity to design fast multipliers. We can increase the multiplication speed by introducing fast adders using the property of parallelism. But the main problem coming across while introducing this is the increase of Silicon area. Hence while designing a multiplier these facts must be kept in mind. Here the coding is done using the hardware description language VHDL. Simulations are done with the help of ModelSim XE II 5.7g and the synthesis is done using Xilinx ISE 6.

Abstract: This study presents an experimental procedure of reverse engineering system for rapid modeling and manufacturing of products with complex freeform surfaces. Its ultimate purpose is to explore a fast, efficient, economical and practical route to reproduction of existing physical objects with digital camera and CNC machine tools for small and medium-sized manufacturers on a P2P-based multimedia collaborative environment. This paper focuses on developing a prototype of photogrammetry based 3D digitization, B-spline surface model reconstruction, and tool path generation based on Open CASCADE kernel. Experiments show that the method is applicable for reverse modeling of freeform objects with moderate accuracy requirements. Therefore, the presented schema is a valid alternative to laser scanning techniques and coded light-based triangulation approaches with an important reduction of the hardware costs and time.

Abstract: Forest soils and the nutrients within it are impacted by spatial activities. The concentration of soil organic carbon (SOC) was evaluated in different forest management location sites in relation to the environmental condition and management status of each forest site. Three distinct forest soils were collected in three locations (0-25 and 25-50cm profiles) of different forest management regimes in Guangdong Province, China. SOC concentrations, as well as physical and chemical soil properties were measured in the laboratory in relation to industrial, urban and protected forest locations. SOC concentration was highest at the Deqing forest site (30.24±1.35 and 26.65± 2.49) as a state regulated management system than in the industrial and urban sites. SOC was significantly highest in the Deqing site (48 g/kg). Duncan's test of SOC density revealed a critical statistical difference between Deqing and the other sites. Soil metal concentrations at the Dongguan industrial!
site showed significant differences in high amount of copper, lead and cadmium (15.1±2.67, 42.30±4.91 and 35.09±5.89). SOM concentration evaluated as sequestration parameter at the Deqing site (47g/kg) was statistically different from the others. Pearson's correlation and multiple comparison analysis on chemical and physical properties indicated critical differences (0.01 level) between the Deqing site (SOC, SOM, TotN, AvK) and the Guangzhou site (SOM, TotN, Avk and AvP) compared to the Dongguan site. The Deqing and Guangzhou forest sites showed attributes of better forest management systems. We strongly recommend an active effluent discharge policy, a Nutrient sensitive zones policy, a land Use policy, a Compulsory industrial implementation best management practices policy; and an Implementation and mitigation option policy.

Abstract: This paper investigates the vehicle rear impact and its consequences and analyzes the research developed in this field. In road traffic, especially in urban traffic, numerous rear collisions have taken place, resulting in serious injuries for passengers. The numerous studies that have been carried out lead to today's internationally recognized demand on the car driver's head restraint adjustment for an optimal protection of the neck spinal column (HWS) with regard to rear end collisions. Mathematical modeling of passenger movement during head impact may be a successful tool in establishing the neck injury mechanism, especially when working in parallel with experimental studies. In order to accomplish experimental studies for data acquisition and video and image samples analysis, the preparation of testing device are needed. Validation mathematical models using experimental tests, offers a vast range of their use. Thus, the simulation on the computer of the phenomen!
a that take place during road events can be studied more comprehensively, and may allow optimize passive safety systems in order to diminish adverse effects of these phenomena.

Abstract: Experiments with the V. A. Medical center, Long Beach, Heart Disease database have concentrated on attempting to distinguish presence and absence of heart disease. The classifiers based on various neural networks, namely, MLP, PCA, Jordan, GFF, Modular, RBF, SOFM, SVM NNs and conventional statistical techniques such as DA and CART are optimally designed, thoroughly examined and performance measures are compared in this study. With chosen optimal parameters of MLP NN, when it is trained and tested over cross validation (unseen data sets), the average (and best respectively) classification of 98.57±2 % (and 100%), 98±2.73% overall accuracy, sensitivity 97.14±3.91, specificity 100% are achieved which shows consistent performance than other NN and statistical models. The results obtained in this work show the potentiality of the MLP NN approach for heart diseases classification.

Abstract: A modular system for processes simulator and control diagram implementation can replace a vast number of expensive systems used to simulate, to design and to test the programming of programmable logical control (PLC) systems graphically and practically. Different processes are simulated and associated with different types of control application and with different complexity factors in order to develop control algorithms and implement them into the PLC unit. The process and control simulator is hardware and software intergraded system for multifunctional educational platforms that enables training and practical work. The system's modularity allows an easy development of the system and can be use in future development by adding FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) components.

Abstract: In this paper, dynamic audit fair queueing (DAFQ) scheme is proposed, which is capable of supporting robust fairness of bandwidth sharing. The main idea of the DAFQ is to detect the malicious flows and then adequate control policies are applied to restrain those ones. Furthermore, a simple and effective probabilistic model is adopted to determine the detection periods which are used to capture the randomly generated malicious flows. Computer simulation compares the fairness of the DAFQ with that of some well-known mechanisms. The simulation results show that the DAFQ is suitable to be deployed in the high-speed core routers due to its simplicity. Besides, the DAFQ is able to support robust fairness of bandwidth sharing more than the other compared mechanisms under various traffic situations.

Abstract: We constructed a new fifth order five-stage singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (DIRK) method which is specially designed for the integrations of linear ordinary differential equations (LODEs). The restriction to linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) reduces the number of conditions which the coefficients of the Runge-Kutta method must satisfy. The best strategy for practical purposes would be to choose the coefficients of the Runge-Kutta methods such that the error norm is minimized. Thus, here the error norm obtained from the error equations of the sixth order method is minimized so that the free parameters chosen are obtained from the minimized error norm. The stability aspect of the method is also looked into and found to have substantial region of stability, thus it is stable. Then a set of test problems are used to validate the method. Numerical results show that the new method is more efficient in terms of accuracy compared to the existing met!

Title of the Paper: The Relationship of Sample Size and Accuracy in Radial Basis Function Networks
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Hyontai Sug
Email addresses of all the authors: hyontai@yahoo.com
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Even though radial basis function networks are known to have good prediction accuracy in several domains, it is not known to decide a proper sample size like other data mining algorithms, so the task of deciding proper sample sizes for the networks tends to be arbitrary. As the size of samples grows, the improvement in error rates becomes better slowly. But we cannot use larger and larger samples, because we have limited training examples, and there is some fluctuation in accuracy depending on the sample sizes. This paper suggests a progressive resampling technique to cope with the fluction of prediction accuracy values for better radial basis function networks. The suggestion is proved by experiments with promising results.

Abstract: Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a recent remote sensing system which has been gradually expanding as a network among the countries actively concerned about the atmospheric contaminants, earth radiation budget, rain variations, clean air index, etc. In this work, the design of a typical Lidar, ground based system for three wavelengths is explained. Essential parameters for the atmospheric characterizations such as Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Angstrom coefficient (Å), and Aerosol Size Distribution (ASD) are explored and the obtained results are discussed. These parameters have been calculated and plotted based on three Lidar system wavelengths of 355, 532, and 1064 nm using the data obtained from Lidar in the Western part of Puerto Rico (location of UPRM Lidar system). The relationship between the essential parameters presented by the plots and the atmospheric behavior is explained using the collected data during two different days.

Title of the Paper: A fuzzy DEMATEL method for segmenting critical factors of successful KM implementation

Number of paper pages: 18
Abstract: Knowledge is a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. In response to increasingly drastic and competitive environments, many organizations wish to better utilize and manage knowledge for business success. For the purpose to execute formal knowledge management (KM) effectively, some works have suggested several critical factors of KM implementations. However, in a strategic view, such a list of critical factors must be further honed to increase practical usefulness, as not all critical factors necessarily share the same importance. Moreover, assessing the importance of critical factors inevitably involves the vagueness of human judgment. Hence, this paper presents a favorable method combining fuzzy logic with the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to segment the critical factors for successful KM implementations. Also, an empirical study is presented to illustrate the proposed method and to demonstrate its usefulness.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the study and design of a simple MOS generator circuit which provides the first derivative of the Gaussian pulse from input rectangular signal. To generate wavelets required in an ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio, the first derivative of the Gaussian function is approximated by combining four hyperbolic tangent (tanh) functions. Afterwards, four differential pairs are used. The output generator circuit is ultra short monocycle pulses of about 244 ps width alternately in phase and in opposition of phase. The generated width pulse can be adjusted by changing the rise and fall time of the input signal. Simulations show that a good approximation of this waveform is possible while using integrated coefficients. A MOS transistor circuit implementation is presented and its simulation results are shown. Comparisons between theoretical and simulation tests are detailed in order to validate the design and the good functioning of the complete structure!
. . Furthermore, the 2.5 V voltages supply, relative to the chosen MOS 0.35µm technologies (AMS foundry), allows the reduction of the system power consumption.

Abstract: In this paper, dynamic audit fair queueing (DAFQ) scheme is proposed, which is capable of supporting robust fairness of bandwidth sharing. The main idea of the DAFQ is to detect the malicious flows and then adequate control policies are applied to restrain those ones. Furthermore, a simple and effective probabilistic model is adopted to determine the detection periods which are used to capture the randomly generated malicious flows. Computer simulation compares the fairness of the DAFQ with that of some well-known mechanisms. The simulation results show that the DAFQ is suitable to be deployed in the high-speed core routers due to its simplicity. Besides, the DAFQ is able to support robust fairness of bandwidth sharing more than the other compared mechanisms under various traffic situations.

Abstract: The calculation of wideband digital beamforming using traditonal methods is so large that it is hard to realize in project. This paper describes a wideband digital beamforming method on the base of stretch processing for linear frequency modulated (LFM) waveforms. This method offers advantages that are moderate data rate for wideband signal processing by reducing the signal bandwidth greatly. In addition, the method not only can get high range resolution of wideband array radar, but also can form good shape pattern with null at interference, as the simulation results show. To the most important, this method compared to traditional methods is easier for engineering implementation greatly.

Abstract: A projection algorithm to detect rain cloud pixels in visible and infrared satellite data is introduced in this work. The algorithm is based on the angle formed by two vectors in the n-dimensional space. This algorithm takes advantages of the geometrical projection principle: when two vectors are collinear the radiative variables of clouds used to create the vectors may exhibit similar properties, and when the vectors are orthogonal the radiative variables may have no elements in common. Rain/no rain pixels are identified by using radar rain rate over the studied area. Satellite data from visible and infrared channels are used to create rain and no rain pixel populations. The central tendency of each population is used to generate rain and no rain calibration vectors. A pixel from an independent data set is used to create a third vector, which is projected into the previously calibrated vectors, with the purpose of classifying the third vector in one of the t!
wo populations, rain or no rain. Classification is made depending of the magnitude of the projection angle and the probability distribution of the visible and infrared radiation variables. The proposed algorithm was implemented to detect rain clouds over a tropical area with the special purpose of developing an application to improve the Hydro-Estimator, which is an operational and high-resolution rainfall retrieval algorithm that has been applied over the United States since 2002.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effects of renewable distributed generation on the operational characteristics of meshed power distribution systems. Meshed power distribution systems are more reliable than radial and closed-loop ones; however, their structures and operating conditions are more complex than the latter. Hence, operating these types of systems is not easy for power engineers, especially in the case of combining renewable distributed generation sources. This paper first develops the constant power model of a renewable distributed generation source, then constructs the network model of a medium-voltage meshed distribution system in the professional simulation software, Matlab/Simulink. The effects of renewable distributed generation sources on the operational characteristics of meshed distribution systems are evaluated in detail. The evaluation takes into account the generation capacity, connecting location, and operating power factor of renewable distributed g!
eneration sources. The results shown in this paper can contribute well to electrical utilities with meshed power distribution systems.

Abstract: Forecasting quarterly accounting earnings is an important task in prospective analysis and seasonality is an important phenomenon in those data¡¦s behavior. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of applying grey group model to forecast the earning per share. Unlike traditional statistical model such as Foster Model, grey group model inheres not only easy to calculate but also few observations needed than statistics methods when model building. Furthermore, the model liberates the users from the sample data assumptions from statistics analysis such as identically independent distribution. A data sample with fifty firms trading on Taiwan Stock Exchange is employed here and the forecasting performances are compared with those obtained by Foster Model. The results demonstrate that the grey group model is a competitive and competent one in prospective analysis.

Abstract: To reduce the effect of fuzzy vein edges and tips of the infrared finger vein recognition, this paper presents a tri-value template fuzzy matching algorithm, which segments the vein feature image into three areas: subject area, fuzzy area and background area, and computes the average distance of non-background point to non-background area as the dissimilarity score between the two templates. The proposed matching method is robust against the fuzzy edges and tips. The experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and practical by the recognition accuracy rate, 99.46 %, to 456 near-infrared finger vein images.

Abstract: Generally, when someone refers to architectural property he inclines to consider only that part of architecture and monuments belonging at remote epochs far since our days. However authors' opinion is that the diffusion and the spreading of the culture cannot leave out from the analysis, the study and the conservation also of architecture and all things realized in more recent times. However, the characteristics of the modern and contemporary architecture with respect to those precedents lead to the development of a definition for new approaches and adequate representation forms because of the presence both of materials and innovative technologies like the tubular or trellis structures, that show then different difficulty in the interpretation and definition of the acquired data. In such direction, the new digital technologies allow, from a part, a rationalization and rapidity of the relief operations, from the other they allow to create some new representations wh!
ich can easily fit to the scholars and operators (architects, engineers, restorers, historians, etc) demands, or to be used to produce faithful copies through quick prototype techniques, but also, more simply, to give back enjoyable such information easily by town councils or web users. The developed and described, in this article, experiences have the aim of verify the potentialities of laser scanner in surveying of structures, for whom traditional techniques of relief could result disadvantageous in terms of realization's times, costs and precision. A particular attention has addressed to elaboration phase, data filtering and 3D modeling through the use of specific and opportune algorithms of best-fitting, useful for individualization and extraction of forms.

Title of the Paper: A multi-phased framework for selecting ERP projects
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Wei-Wen Wu
Email addresses of all the authors: itmike@thit.edu.tw
Number of paper pages: 14
Abstract: Many enterprises are showing increasing interest in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. However, when enterprises attempt to adopt the ERP system, the important problem is how to make use of the ERP system judiciously and thus to improve the performance of organizations successfully. As ERP project selection is a kind of Mu1tiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problem, we need to employ MCDM methods to handle it effectively. Several methods have been proposed for selecting appropriate ERP projects, but their models use few criteria and contain insufficient information for evaluation. In a real world, to ensure the alignment of ERP investment and strategic needs, it is necessary to consider a variety of financial and non-financial factors within the evaluation structure. This paper proposes a multi-phased framework that considers financial and non-financial factors, applying the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method combined with !
the Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach and with the zero-one goal programming (ZOGP) model, and attempt to find more useful ways for solving ERP project selection problems. Additionally, an empirical study is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method.

Abstract: Abstract: How to simultaneously involve and merge four distinct kinds of modes, i.e., voltage, current, trans-admittance, and trans-impedance modes, into an analytical synthesis method (ASM) for synthesizing a complicated versatile mode high-order universal (namely, low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, band-reject, and all-pass) filter transfer function is presented in this paper employing (i) all single-ended-input operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs), (ii) all grounded capacitors, and (iii) the minimum number of active and passive components. The new filter structure enjoys the important merits of digital programmability and low sensitivity in addition to have a controllable gain (except the current-mode one), cascadable voltage input and current output terminals, and the absence of the need to impose component matchings. H-spice frequency-dependent simulation results, using TSMC 0.18£gm process and ¡Ó0.9V supply voltages, demonstrate precise filtering respo!
nses (for example, the current-mode high-pass response has only 0.3% error) at the operating frequency, 10 MHz.

Abstract: Possibility of making queries on a spatial database, in order to obtain a decisional support is one of the most interesting features of GIS systems. This is possible through the expression of information which are implicit into database and useful for Geoprocessing operations in order to make a sort of data clustering. However, it is not sufficient to represent a priori non-modeling interactions, even if they are present into the informative layers. Case study presented in this paper just concerns this category, taking into account tracking of isoseismic lines on a well-known geographical area. It is very useful in order to generate an affordable map for seismic risk. Proposed procedure, exploiting Neural Networks, can retrieve information about isoseismic lines propagation, starting from information related to examined territory, hypocenter of considered earthquakes, and seismic intensity calculated by standard procedures. Preliminary results we obtained have been!
used in a GIS software in order to create an Artificial Intelligence informative layer (called OverlayAI). Experimentation carried out shows a preliminary nature and needs further tests and refinement; however, it illustrates useful results to realize an operative plan based on perception of seismic risk in a defined territory.

Abstract: The first-order sampling of multi-band bandpass signals with arbitrary band positions is considered in this paper. Gaps between the spectral sub-bands are utilized to achieve lower sampling rates than the Nyquist. The lowest possible sampling rate along with other permissible sampling rates is identified via a unique partition of the frequency axis. With the complete identification of all the permissible sampling rates, a necessary and sufficient sampling theorem for multi-band bandpass signals is presented in terms of a series of csinc-interpolators.

Abstract: Multi-segmented robots earn some basic advantages of assembling and disassembling of their body parts and different types of movement in a single body structure. Snake robots can manifolds four types of motion in the surface level using different transfer function. The main task is to derive the transfer function of each segment that can control the snake body to navigate with Active Cord Mechanism. Lead compensators are subject to improve the speed of response of the snake body while lag compensators optimize its errors in deviation while obstacle avoidance. A composite of lag-lead compensator is discussed and examined for SUPRA Institutional Serpentine robot to be employed in a coal mine for disaster management. The side winding movement is taken into consideration and wireless control of snake robot is a matter of importance. This paper holds a discussion over the controller design procedure using frequency response approach and shows a comparison between the le!
ad-lag and only lag compensators with their transient and impulse responses. Finally results are shown to support the stability analysis of the designed control system.

Abstract: Feedback control was applied to the steady Marangoni convection in a horizontal layer of fluid with variable viscosity and free-slip at the lower boundary heated from below and cooled from above. Prediction for the onset of convection are obtained from the analysis by numerical technique.The effects of feedback control are studied by examining the critical Marangoni numbers and wave numbers. It is shown that the onset of Marangoni convection with variable viscosity can be delayed and the critical Marangoni number can be increased through the use of feedback control.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: In urban transit systems, rail passenger vehicles are often required to negotiate tight curves. Running curve railway, the wheelsets of conventional vehicles generally misalign radically with the track increasing wheel/rail contact forces and resulting in increased wheel and rail wear, outbreak of squeal noise, fuel consumption, and risk of derailment. To solve these problems, modified suspension system designs, application for alternate wheel profiles, active and semi-active steering techniques have been proposed. Active steering system has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. This paper presents a technique for improving the performance of active steering fuzzy control systems by adequately changing the widths of triangular fuzzy membership functions. Experiment results show that the proposed fuzzy controller robustly yields good performance comparing with conventional controller.

Abstract: Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. Generally scaled railway vehicles were developed to reproduce the fundamental dynamic behavior of the full size railway vehicle in laboratory conditions. This paper describes the design of the braking/traction control systems as a part of a 1/5 scaled railway vehicle for active steering testbed which is to alleviate wheel/rail contact forces and to decrease wheel/rail wear. This system consists of two steering actuators, a steering controller, and various sensor systems to detect lateral displacement, vibration, track curvature, and so on. The control strategy of the braking/traction is founded on the velocity difference of two axle speed of the driving bogie. Running test results of 1/5 scaled active steering vehicle on the curved track show that the proposed braking/traction control systems has good performance.

Abstract: This study had identified the profiles of statistics learners' attitude toward statistics through the classification process of discriminant function. This multivariate technique method is used to profile the subjects' attitude into either positive or negative attitude towards statistics. The study had characterized each profile of learners by relating to his/her perceived attitudes toward statistics, types of learners, mode of study, programme structure, age, gender and learners' evaluation towards the statistics course. Learners' attitudes toward statistics were measured using the Attitudes Toward Statistics (ATS) instrument which comprised four sub-scales or dimensions, namely, Affect, Cognitive Competence, Value and Difficulty. These variables are examined as predictors that discriminate learners with positive and negative attitudes toward statistics. The results indicate that learners with positive attitudes can be reliably distinguished from learners wi!
th negative attitudes toward statistics across the four ATS sub-scales, types of learners, mode of study and learner's evaluation towards the course. The results would assist instructors to fine-tune their teaching methodologies to optimize the teaching and learning of statistics in the classroom.

Abstract: Utilization of advanced manufacturing technology is considered as one of the key factors that help manufacturing companies worldwide to reduce the cost of manufacturing, improve the quality of their products, increase the throughput as well as production flexibility and altogether it should help them to maintain or even enhance their competitiveness on global markets. Moreover, manufacturing companies in economically developed countries cannot rely on cheap labor force and massive investments into advanced manufacturing technology seem to be inevitable necessity for them. On the other hand, these companies are under constant economic pressure and their managers are pushed to economize and cut cost whenever possible. Taking into account that investment into advanced technology is as a rule rather expensive, long-term nature and associated with a higher degree of risk especially if the particular company lacks experience with the particular type of technology, it is !
clear that the relevant decision making processes are not easy and straightforward ones. We will describe here some problems associated with investment into advanced manufacturing technology from the management point of view. We will demonstrate that managers show rather reserved attitude towards relevant projects and admit many difficulties when deciding about investment into particular advance manufacturing projects in their companies. We will support our views by selected results of two surveys that we did in the Czech Republic and we will compare our findings with outcomes of the similar surveys in other countries too.

Abstract: Due to the reduction of the fossil fuel reserves of the world and the strict environmental protection standards, one of the main research direction on the construction field is the reduction of the energy consumption, which suppose materials, technology and conception of buildings with lower specific energy need on one hand and equipment with high performances on the other hand. In this paper a complex energy analysis of the forward temperature is developed depending on the insulation level of the building and control of the heating system using different types of radiators in the rooms. Using the presented method the optimum value of forward temperature and the mass flow of hot water in the central heating system could be determined. Also, the energy consumption for water pumping in heating systems with reduced forward temperature is analyzed, for different types of radiators and control systems.

Abstract: Since business workflows are closely related to enterprise performance, successfule execution of workflow is a critical driving force for strategic advantages of enterprise. Therefore, it is quite essential to customer satisfaction and productivity enhancement that structural errors in workflow instances must be detected and their performance must be evaluated before their enactments. For a structural verification and performance evaluation of workflows, this paper integrates the strengths of UML activity diagram and Petri net, proposes the mapping scheme from UML activity diagram to Petri net, verify the structural errors of workflow using the reachability tree analysis, and finally predict the workflow performance before its execution using the business process simulation. Through the proposed workflow analysis procedure, workflow modelers in enterprises can analyze the qualitative and quantitative aspects of workflow in an integrated way.

Abstract: In this paper successive interference cancellation (SIC) based on optical code division multiple access (O-CDMA) systems has been investigated. SIC scheme refers to a family of low complexity multi-user detection (MUD) methods for direct sequence CDMA systems. Performance of optical CDMA system is influenced by multiple access interference (MAI) resulted from the overlapping between the users. This kind of noise is became a primary concern in optical CDMA systems. To overcome this problem, we applied successive interference cancellation technique to a spectral amplitude coding (SAC) system that uses modified quadratic congruence (MQC) codes as signature sequence codes, taking into account the effect of all major noise sources, such as phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN), shot noise, and thermal noises. Furthermore, in SIC scheme we have taken into account the impact of imperfect interference cancellation. The system is analyzed for two cases: same effective power !
for all the users and different effective power from each user. We have successfully shown that under ideal effective power the SIC/SAC optical CDMA systems have potential to suppress the intensity noise and mitigate multiple access interference. Hence, using SIC/SAC cancellation scheme, the system can accommodate much more number of users as compared to the one without cancellation. Further, under ideal power the system using SIC scheme with direct sequence encoding (SIC/DS) shows much lower BER performance as compared to the one without cancellation (i.e. conventional receiver) or to SIC/SAC cancellation scheme. Hence, much more number of users can be accommodated by SIC/DS receiver system. Furthermore, SIC/DS scheme still shows much lower BER performance as compared with SIC/SAC scheme under different effective power.

Title of the Paper: Designing Neural Networks for Tackling Hard Classification Problems

Abstract: When designing neural networks for tackling hard classification problems researchers face the trivial problem of deciding the appropriate size of the neural network. The problem of optimizing the size of a neural network for obtaining high classification accuracy in datasets is indeed a hard problem in the literature. Existing studies provide theoretical upper bounds on the size of neural networks that are unrealistic to implement. Alternatively, optimizing empirically the neural network size may need a large number of experiments, which due to a considerable number of free parameters may become a real hard task in time and effort to accomplish. Hard classification problems are usually large in size datasets. Such datasets derive from collection of real world data like from multimedia content and are usually rich in training samples and rich in features that describe each collected sample. Working with neural networks and hard classification datasets will !
make even harder the task to optimize the neural network size. This work highlights on a mathematical formula for a priori calculating the size of a neural network for achieving high classification accuracy rate. The formula estimates neural networks size based only on the number of available training samples, resulting in sizes of neural networks that are realistic to implement. Using this formula in hard classification datasets aims to fix the size of an accurate neural network and allows researchers to concentrate on other aspects of their experiments. The focus on this approach turns to the number of available data for training the neural network, which is a new perspective in the neural network theory and the characteristics of this perspective are discussed in this article for designing neural networks for tackling hard classification problems.

Abstract: This paper describes a web based session and error management with a whiteboard agent running on home network environment. It suggests a system that is capable of detecting and recovering software error for distributed multimedia with an integrated whiteboard model which supports object drawing, application sharing, and web synchronization methods of sharing information through a common view between concurrently collaborating users for home network environment. DOORAE is a framework of supporting development on multimedia application for distributed multimedia running on home network environment. This paper explains a performance analysis for a session and error management agent based on home network environment by using the rule-based DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification) modeling and simulation techniques. In DEVS, a system has a time base, inputs, states, outputs, and functions. The DEVS formalism introduced by Zeigler provides a means of specifying a mathem!
atical object called a system.

Abstract: An ad-hoc wireless sensor network is also called self-organized networking that wireless sensor nodes can automatically communicate for each other. Therefore, each sensor node is no need for the information such as location of each sensor. Similarly, it consumes much energy on the information exchanged of each sensor node in order to maintain the entire ad-hoc wireless sensor network alive. Therefore, there are totally three phases in this paper. First, the setup phase is that all sensor nodes are randomly deployed and the ad-hoc wireless sensor network is divided into many clusters in each round. Therefore, every cluster has only one cluster head. Second, each sensor node transmits its message to the cluster head where it belongs to and then the cluster head transmits the messages coming from sensor nodes and deliver it to forwarding station. Finally, the forwarding station forwards the integrated messages from all cluster heads back to the base station. However, !
it consumes less energy for all cluster heads to transmit directly back to the base station. Hence, the far away location of the base station usually consumes the cluster head much energy to transmit the message to the base station. With the proposed three-phase scheme, the ad-hoc wireless network lifetime can be extended very well. Also, the simulation results show the entire ad-hoc wireless network lifetime can be extended very well.

Abstract: An ad-hoc wireless sensor network organizes itself as a network that many sensor nodes automatically communicate each other in a certain area. Each sensor node consists of a transmitting unit, receiving unit, central processing unit, and battery unit. Because of the sensor node¡¦s battery unit that may not be reachable or rechargeable, it is important for both the base station and sensor nodes communicating very well for less energy consumption of sensor nodes to extend the entire ad-hoc wireless sensor network lifetime. Moreover, in this paper, the ad-hoc wireless sensor network is divided into many clusters and every cluster contains only one cluster head. All wireless sensor nodes will transmit their messages to the cluster head where they belong to. Then, the cluster head will return a confirmed message back to every sensor. However, it dissipates much energy to retransmit a confirmed message from the cluster head to the sensor node. Since the base station is f!
ar away from the sensed area, it is necessary to have a forwarding station forwarding the message from the sensed area to the base station. Finally, this paper proposes the forwarding station integrated the non-confirmed routing protocol so that the network lifetime can be extended very well. Also, simulation results show the network lifetime extended well and the performance is much better.

Abstract: In this paper we propose a new Weighted Bootstrap with Probability (WBP). The basic idea of the proposed bootstrap technique is to do re-sampling with probabilities. These probabilities become the control mechanism for getting good estimates when the original data set contain multiple outliers. Numerical examples and simulation study are carried out to evaluate the performance of the WBP estimates as compared to the Bootstrap 1 and Diagnostic-Before Bootstrap estimates. The results of the study signify that the WBP method is more efficient than the other two methods.

Abstract: Under self- protecting noise jamming, mono-pulse radar can track the target by tracking noise jamming because noise jamming comes from the same direction as echo of target. In order to reduce angular tracking error, a method of introducing pulse modulation circuit and adjusting the bandwidth of intermediate frequency amplifier and video amplifier is proposed based on the main causes of angular error. Simulation studies verifies its effectiveness. In order to solve the problem of arranging stations in direction-finding cross-location technology, a method of station distribution arrangement is put forward based on the principle analysis of direction finding location with two stations. The receiving angle range to achieve higher location accuracy and the distance between two stations to meet the range of receiving angle are chosen. At last the easier calculation method of location accuracy in passive tracking is given. The studies show that the proposed methods can ef!
fectively improve tracking accuracy in tracking noise jamming with mono-pulse.

Abstract: Thousands of equipments of the wireless local access network and the mobile devices are widely used and the demand of dynamic spectrum resources is significantly growing. How to maximize the social utility in modern technique becomes an important issue. In this paper, the simulated annealing based approach which dynamically allocates the power spectrum is proposed to enhance the system efficiency. The objective is to maximize the sum of individual Shannon utilities in a multi-user communication system. Experimental result shows that our approach obtains the acceptable result within an acceptable amount of run time for the larger test cases.

Abstract: Multi-segmented robots earn some basic advantages of assembling and disassembling of their body parts and different types of movement in a single body structure. Snake robots can manifolds four types of motion in the surface level using different transfer function. The main task is to derive the transfer function of each segment that can control the snake body to navigate with active chord mechanism. Lead compensators are subject to improve the speed of response of the snake body while lag compensators optimize its errors in deviation while obstacle avoidance. A composite of lag-lead compensator is discussed and examined for SUPRA Institutional Serpentine robot to be employed in a coal mine for disaster management. The side winding movement is taken into consideration and wireless control of snake robot is a matter of importance. This paper holds a discussion over the controller design procedure using frequency response approach and shows a comparison between the l!
ead-lag and only lag compensators with their transient and impulse responses. Finally results are shown to support the stability analysis of the designed control system.

Title of the Paper: a novel method of DOA estimation based on subarray beamform for uniform circular arrays

Abstract: A novel method of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation based on subarray beamform for uniform circular arrays is proposed. In this method, the beamform manifold of uniform circular arrays is transformed via virtual structure, and then the virtual arrays is divided into two subarrrays. The target DOA is estimated from the phase shift between the reference signal and its phase-shifted version by subarray beamforming. The computation of the proposed method is simple, and the number of the signal sources of target is not bounded by the number of antenna elements. Simulation results demonstrate that proposed method has significantly improved estimation resolution, capacity, and accuracy relative to other method.

Abstract: This paper proposes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based integrated circuit (IC) for computing apparent powers and power factors of power systems. In a nonsinusoidal and unbalanced three-phase power system, the calculation of apparent powers and power factors has many definitions. Load characteristics of harmonic and unbalance can not be expressed in the traditional apparent power and power factor, which only consider the fundamental and three-phase balanced sinusoidal conditions. This paper utilizes the FPGA chip to develop the platform to implement the calculation methods of apparent powers and power factors. The proposed design scheme is developed using the very high speed integrated-circuit hardware description language (VHDL), which provides high flexibility and technology independence. This paper discussed the effective power and power factor, the arithmetic power and power factor, and the fundamental power and power factor. The design of filters for !
the computation of fundamental frequency components is given. ModelSim is used at first to simulate the calculation of apparent powers and power factors to ensure the accuracy of timing and function. Research results show that the designed chip can compute accurately the apparent powers and power factors considering the effects of nonsinusoidal and unbalanced conditions.

Abstract: This paper proposes a method for detecting copy-move forgery over images tampered by copy-move. To detect such forgeries, the given image is divided into overlapping blocks of equal size, feature for each block is then extracted and represented as a vector, all the extracted feature vectors are then sorted using the radix sort. The difference (shift vector) of the positions of every pair of adjacent feature vectors in the sorting list is computed. The accumulated number of each of the shift vectors is evaluated. A large accumulated number is considered as possible presence of a duplicated region, and thus all the feature vectors corresponding to the shift vectors with large accumulated numbers are detected, whose corresponding blocks are then marked to form a tentative detected result. Finally, the medium filtering and connected component analysis are performed on the tentative detected result to obtain the final result. Compared with other methods, employing the r!
adix sort makes the detection much more efficient without degradation of detection quality.

Abstract: This paper investigates uncertainties in the existing deterministic approaches for evaluating steady-state voltage deviation due to distributed generation. Nowadays, deterministic approaches are widely adopted by the persons proposing the interconnection of distributed generation. However, the existing deterministic approaches overlook some operation conditions that may give rise to incorrect results and lead to wrong decisions in practical applications. In this paper, the interconnection rules for distributed generations and the existing deterministic approaches for evaluating steady-state voltage deviations are introduced first. Then, various factors effecting steady-state voltage deviation and the determination of maximum allowable DG capacity are discussed. Finally, the uncertainties of the existing deterministic approaches are discussed. It is intended for reference by utility engineers processing distributed generation interconnection applications.

Abstract: In this paper, the data compression technique using the normalized embedded zero-tree wavelet (NEZW) coding is presented for the long-duration monitoring of a DC electric arc furnace and a railroad tracking load. For those power quality disturbing loads, harmonics, voltage fluctuation, and loading fluctuation are critical and stochastic load characteristics. In the power quality measurement, while keep enough stochastic load information, it is desired to reduce data size in long duration recording of voltage and current waveforms. The effects of multi-resolution analysis levels and threshold values in the NEZW coding are investigated. From the calculation results of field measurement data, the NEZW coding almost preserves the values of voltage fluctuation and power quantities. For storage of the field measurement voltage and current waveforms, the NEZW coding can not only greatly reduce data size, but it also can preserve sufficient load information.

Abstract: A new method based on adaptive GA(genetic algorithm) for optimizing the parameters of CMOS operational amplifier is presented in this paper. The synthesis of the Op-amp(operational amplifier) can be translated into multiple-objective optimization task, in which a large number of specifications have to be taken into account. Such as DC-gain, bandwidth of unity gain, phase-margin, power, noise and others. The feature of the method is that combining the skills of manual experience of analog circuits design and genetic algorithm, through adjusting the GA with the evolution process, the problems of convergence and multiple objective optimization tasks can be solved; and operational amplifiers for different use can be designed depending on various performance specifications. The results of groups of simulation show that this method can optimize the parameters of analog circuits accurately and efficiently.

Abstract: In this work, an Touring Ant colony Optimization (TACO) for the solution of the optimal power flow (OPF) with use of controllable FACTS devices is studied. This method can provide an enhanced economic solution with the use of controllable FACTS devices. Thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC) is considered in this method. In deregulated power system environment it is necessary to maintain specified power in contract transmission line path. Hence the specified power flow control, constraints due to the use of FACTS devices are included in the OPF problem. The sensitivity analysis is carried out for the location of FACTS devices. The proposed method can be considered for solving two sub-problems. The first sub-problem is a power flow control problem by incorporating TCSC in the contract path of power system network and the second sub-problem is the conventional OPF problem. The two sub-problems are simultaneously solved using Touring Ant Colony Optimization !
(TACO) algorithm. The solutions are compared and tested using a standard IEEE 30-bus system thereby validating feasibility of this approach.

Abstract: In this paper it is presented the prototype of a multifunctional Health Information System for the Comprehensive Management of a Sleep Clinics Franchise Chain. This prototype should facilitate the process by which it obtains, uses or displays a variety of basic resources to support the objectives of a Sleep Clinic, should facilitate the decision-making process, the control of the administrative and other day-to day workflow activities and the clinical management for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders and related diseases. The rationale of the project is the creation of a system to ensure the availability of highly skilled and well trained staff that takes care of patients attending a specialised centre of this kind. The system has three main sub-systems, these are: a system to manage all the administrative and (or) day-to-day workflow activities aspects of the clinic. The second, is a diagnostic and treatment (decision) support system and an electronic !
health record, it suggests the physician a diagnostic–therapeutic plan (following standard and updated guidelines) for each patient; this rule-based subsystem has been developed following the method for building Expert Systems (ES). The third subsystem supports an educational program and training tool for the staff to ensure that they will manage appropriately all the activities of a specialized centre for diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. The paper describes the ideas supporting the design, some comments about the system architecture, the methods that we follow to build it, some conclusions, and further research.

Abstract: The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method is the most popular technique in statistics and is often use to estimate the parameters of a model because of tradition and ease of computation. The OLS provides an efficient and unbiased estimates of the parameters when the underlying assumptions, especially the assumption of contant error variances (homoscedasticity), are satisfied. Nonetheless, in real situation it is difficult to retain the error variance homogeneous for many practical reasons and thus there arises the problem of heteroscedasticity. We generally apply the Weighted Least Squares (WLS) procedure to estimate the regression parameters when heteroscedasticity occurs in the data. Nevertheless, there is evidence that the WLS estimators suffer a huge set back in the presence of a few atypical ob¬servations that we often call outliers. In this situation the analysis will become more complicated. In this paper we have proposed a robust procedure for the estimat!
ion of regression parameters in the situation where heteroscedasticity comes together with the existence of outliers. Here we have employed robust techniques twice, once in estimating the group variances and again in de¬termining weights for the least squares. We call this method Robust Weighted Least Squares (RWLS). The performance of the newly proposed method is investigated extensively by real data sets and Monte Carlo Simulations. The results suggest that the RWLS method offers substantial improvements over the existing methods.

Abstract: The paper presents a device for measuring full displacement fields working on the principle of speckle interferometry. The proposed interferometer was designed with the aim of obtaining a lightweight self-contained device, easy to assemble with cheap and standard equipment. The investigated area is illuminated by three laser diodes emitting 50 mW at 660 nm, and observed by a B&W firewire CCD camera. The accuracy of the measurements is improved by means of a PZT actuator realized on purpose and driven by a control electronics able to provide a very accurate supply voltage. Furthermore by the control electronics it is possible to turn on and off the diodes and to control the single light intensity of each laser. The paper describes in details all the parts of the interferometer and the systems implemented for optimizing the working conditions of the device. Furthermore all the steps necessary for performing the measurements are reported, and typical sets of experimen!
tal data are shown.

Title of the Paper: Data Attribute Reduction using Binary Conversion

Number of paper pages: 11
Abstract: While learning with data having large number of attribute, a system is easy to freeze or shut down or run for a long time. Therefore, the proposed Binary Conversion (BC) is a novel method to solve this kind of large attribute problem in machine learning. The purpose of BC is to reduce data dimensions by a binary conversion process. All the attributes are reserved but combined into few numbers of new attributes instead of that some attributes are removed. To prevent the information loss problem during the conversion, each binary type data value occupies its own digital position in BC. In addition, 4 data sets: nbuses, ACLP, MONK3, and Buseskod data are used in this study to test and compare the learning accuracies and learning time. The results indicate that the proposed BC can keep about the same level of accuracy but increase the learning efficiency.

Title of the Paper: Noisy Image Restoration Based on Boundary Resetting BDND and Median Filtering with Smallest Window

Abstract: In this paper, a restoration approach for noisy image is proposed where a boundary resetting boundary discriminative noise detection (BRBDND) and a median filtering with smallest window (MFSW) are applied. In the proposed image restoration approach, two stages are involved: noise detection and noise replacement. The BRBDND is used to detect noisy pixels in an image. If a pixel is uncorrupted, then keep it intact. Or replace it with an uncorrupted neighborhood pixel through the MFSW. Note that miss detection happens in the BDND presented in [17] when the noise density is high. The miss detection is even worse for cases with unbalanced noisy density where the portions for the salt noise and the pepper noise are different. A boundary resetting scheme is incorporated into the BDND. By this doing, the problem of miss detection described above can be prevented. Note that a larger window used in the median filtering leads to a stronger smoothing effect on the restored ima!
ge. The reported median filtering approaches, like the modified noise adaptive soft-switching median filter (MNASM) in [17], uses larger windows generally. Thus, a median filtering with smallest window (MFSW) is proposed to improve the visual quality of restored image. Two examples are provided to justify the proposed image restoration approach BRBDND/MFSW where comparisons are made with the BDND/MNASM. The results indicate that the proposed BRBDND is able to deal with the miss detection problem in the BDND. It also shows that the proposed MFSW indeed improves the visual quality of restored image as expected. The simulation results suggest that the proposed restoration approach BRBDND/MFSW generally outperforms the BDND/MNASM both in the PSNR and the visual quality of restored image.

Abstract: Abstract: -In integrated circuits, ring oscillator (RO) has many applications. In these applications, how to obtain the accurate oscillation frequency is an important issue for the design. In this paper, we explore the feedback problem of a N-stage ring oscillator. This paper proposes a more rigorous approach to analyze the ring oscillator. It can be approximated that the feedback system of a ring oscillator can be a nonlinear Lur¡¦e problem. With this Lur¡¦e problem, circle criterion can be used to determine the stability of overall feedback system. With this Lur¡¦e problem, the describing-function method is used to determine the oscillation frequency of the ring oscillator. A new formula will be presented. It can be also observed that if N (number of inverters) is large enough, the proposed formula will approach the conventional formula. Moreover, with describing function method, a ¡§necessary condition¡¨ for the existence of fundamental mode and higher order mo!
des of oscillations are presented. Furthermore, it can be shown that as and the voltage gain is large enough; the higher harmonic oscillation may exists. Finally, with Tsypkin Function method, a more accurate formula for the oscillation frequency of ring oscillator will be presented. Finally, Simulation examples will illustrate these results.

Abstract: A web-based peer-assessment system for enhancing students' creativity and animation skills is presented. Through a quasi-experiment instruction, this paper was to examine the learning effects of the system with mechanisms of diverse assessment. Participants were 88 sophomores of 2D animation courses taught by the same instructor. A two-way ANOVA was conducted to analyze the independent variables by self-regulation (high vs. low) and perceived initiative (stronger vs. weaker) on project performance as the dependent variables. The results revealed that (a) there are no significantly interactions between self-regulation and perceived initiative, (b) students of the high-group of self-regulation outperformed the low-group on the peer assessment, (c) students who showed stronger initiative outperformed the weaker ones on the tutor assessment, (d) most of the learners showed positive attitude toward peer-assessment.

Abstract: In recent years, there has dramatic proliferation of research concerned with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The RFID technologies are getting considerable attentions not only academic research but also the applications of enterprise. One of most important issues of applications is the indoor position location. Many researchers have used varied technologies to perform the tracking of indoor position location. In this paper, we will purpose a new method using RFID tags to perform indoor position location tracking, too. This method uses Received Signal Strength (RSS) to collect signal strength from reference tags beforehand. Next, signal strength is used to set up Power Level areas of ranges by reference tags. And then, using signal strength from reference tags to match signal strength by track tags. Finally, when track tags is set up into indoor environments, it will find out the position of neighboring reference tags, and using arithmetic mean to calculate t!
he location values. A preliminary experiment proves that our method provides a better precision than LANDMRC system.

Abstract: We propose a new LMS algorithm with an adaptive neural network cost function (ANNCFLMS) for application to unknown channel estimation or system identification. The algorithm employs the weighted average of a neural network with two input signals¡Xthe squared errors at adjacent time intervals¡Xto modify the cost function and update the respective weight according to a gradient descent algorithm designed to track the minimum mean squared error (MSE). For fast convergence, the step-size updates recursively until the modified cost function attains its minimum value. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm converges faster and is especially robust in low-SNR or colored input environments.

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to investigate instability phenomena in low-current metal vacuum arc using the calculation data comparison with the experimental data. The instability phenomena are characterized by noise on the current trace prior to the actual current chopping. The instability current was investigated for various electrode materials. A cathode spot model is used to analyze the instability phenomena of vacuum arc. The experiment of major commercial switching electrode such as Ag-Pd is performed in this study. To study the parameters affecting the stability arc factors, the parameter scan of cathode materials and ion current fraction by numerical analysis, it was found that the critical current of the stable current is highly dependent on the thermal conductivity of the cathode material. However, the thermal conductivity effect on the instability phenomena of low-current metal vacuum arc was important for low surge switching electrode material deve!
lopment. An electrostatic probe was used to confirm these findings, and the analytical results were found to be similar to the measurement results. This is very important result for the development of cathode materials for low-surge vacuum interrupters.

Abstract: The topics on resources capabilities, competencies and relationship in IT outsourcing (ITO) are not widely researched especially in developing world context. Despite this, ITO has experienced a considerable growth in recent years, so much so that some authors suggest we find ourselves in the outsourcing era. Even though some authors view that ITO has come to its maturity stage, ITO growth seems to be guaranteed at least in the near future due to its favourable tangible and intangible benefits. Many past researches on IT outsourcing were done in North America, Europe and Australasia contexts with little evidence from developing countries perspectives. IT outsourcing relationship researches revealed its importance in improving the success of IT outsourcing arrangements. Many researches on relationship, however, were investigated from demand-side perspectives. Hence, it is the aim of this study to complement these unidimensional findings by investigating the IT outsou!
rcing relationship from service providers' perspectives in Malaysian context. This report presents the qualitative findings from interviews and literature reviews on IT outsourcing relationship. We interview five senior managements executives in service provider firms as key informants. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and analysed based on Miles and Huberman recommendations. The study found that all the variables are, in practice, important determinants of successful outsourcing projects as claimed by many other researches in the western context. The ranking of the factors, however, were of varying disputes depending on the types of ITO configurations the parties entered into. This study contributes to the literature on IT outsourcing and also serves as a useful reference for business managers before undertaking any ITO projects.

Abstract: IT changes very quickly and influences business, industry and the public in an enormous manner. The issue of IT outsourcing (ITO) impact on IT workforce has been discussed widely in many developed countries so much so that the concerns have been tense in that more IT jobs will be transferred to developing countries which provide IT outsourcing services. In addition, with the growth of IT outsourcing and emerging new outsourcing business models such as utility demand, application service provider, business process outsourcing, offshore outsourcing and many more servicing different industry vertical sectors increase the demand for multiple IT skills and capabilities of IT workforce. In this study, we review relevant literature, newspapers and non-academic articles, websites of companies, governments and non-governmental organisations and others. An outsourcing Malaysia (OM) CEO roundtable discussion is also held to get inputs from the practitioners on the topic. In a!
ddition, we seek in-depth insights from seven senior executive managements in service provider firms on the skill sets requirements of fresh IT graduates to fulfill the market needs of IT outsourcing in Malaysia. The four-member research team found that technical, soft and problem-solving skills are the main concerns raised by the key informants. This is in line with the literature review and also the present higher education policy concerns by the Malaysia government.

Then, we suggest here, an alternating teaching approach to better fit with the new student's needs: Indeed, far from the theoretical and difficult traditional courses, "learning by project" can be an interesting alternating practical way of teaching. We describe, as example, a GPS navigation project to illustrate this approach. Technical specifications and some design details are given. Finally, we show how Hermann brain modelling and team management tools are helpful to guarantee the success of this pedagogical process.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a design method of the narrow band FIR filter in a Fluency signal space. As a result, we can make superior narrow band FIR filters than ordinary one. While an FIR filter has advantages that it is stable and can realize perfect linear phase, its transfer function can be of higher order according to desired accuracy. One of such difficult classes that indeed requires lots of multipliers is the narrow band filter. In proposed method, it is possible to design a narrow band FIR filter with multipliers much less than Remez method, a typical conventional method. In the first step of the proposed method, a pair of mother filters that are basic for the desired filter are defined. In the next step, scaled filters of the mother filters will be taken. Finally, we take an appropriate cascade connection of the scaled filters and make it the approximation model of the desired characteristics of narrow band FIR filter. By a numerical experiment, the propo!
sed method is shown to be supeior to Remez method, as stated above.

Abstract: This paper treats the comparison between the Volterra model and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) model in Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) case. The RKHS model uses the Statistical learning theory to find a solution of a regularization risk. It is characterise by a linear combination of the kernels function. The complexity of Volterra model is depending of the degree and the memory of the model contrarily of the RKHS model which depend only of the number of observations. The performances of both models are evaluated first by using Monte Carlo numerical simulations and then have been tested for modelling of a chemical reactor and results are successful

Abstract: The transportation industries have been subjected to unprecedented scrutiny and regulatory mandates in the post-9/11 era. On the other hand, the inner border inspections were closed down in Europe with the Schengen agreement. Freedom of movement has brought new challenges to the authorities and transportation companies. Effective camera surveillance with a facial recognition system (FRS) could be a realistic solution. FRS requires camera(s) and a control device; a computer with special software. The software processes the material, face images, collected by the cameras. FRS has been used as monitoring and controlling tool in major events and border crossings. The aim of FRS is to maintain and improve safety and security in a cost efficient way by saving manpower. However, FRS is an additional security tool and therefore not to be trusted only. FRS is being used mainly as a verification method where the human face functions as an access or pin code. Optimal operatio!
nal environment for FRS is a dry environment with stable illumination; most likely indoor environment is needed to guarantee the operational ability. Images of the faces should be collected in close distance and the persons, who are to be identified, should cooperate. FRS is composition of technical elements and applications which are commonly used in everyday life. Profiling the environment and setting reasonable aims, FRS could be used in various places. Hence FRS is challenging the traditional methods as a sophisticated security tool for the sophisticated situations. So far, the only operational FRS in Finland started in summer 2008 at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. This paper examines and collects experiences from the airport pilot project, from literature and by interviewing experts of the security and facial recognition field. The aim of the paper is to specify the desired goal state, how FRS could be applied as a new seaport and maritime security tool.

Abstract: - In this paper, we consider the modelling of a Single Input Single Output (SISO) and Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) non linear communication channels using two modelling techniques. The first titled Volterra model built using Volterra series and possesses several important properties that make them very useful for the modelling and analysis of non linear systems and the second named RKHS model developed on a particular Hilbert Space the kernel of which is reproducing. This space known as Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) uses the statistical learning theory to provide RKHS model.The performances of both models in SISO case and in MIMO case are evaluated and the results were successful.

Title of the Paper: Fault Induced Voltage Sag Mitigation Using Dynamic Voltage Restorer.
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Nita Patne K. L. Thakre
Email addresses of all the authors: nitapatne@yahoo.com
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: In this paper aim is to study the effectiveness of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) in mitigating the voltage sag due to different types of faults at every point of the power network under study. The comparative study is done with conventional DVR along with series insertion transformer and proposed DVR at the tertiary winding of already existing step down transformer in the system at the load point. The effectiveness of DVR is studied in terms of critical fault length. It is observed that there is reduction in critical fault length with DVR in the system. Further the study shows that the voltage sag compensation with transformer tertiary winding DVR is effective. But the conventional DVR are more effective to compensate fault induced voltage sag at the cost of additional insertion transformer. The system considered is simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC to do the required study.

Title of the Paper: new code construction method and high-speed vlsi codec achitecture for repeat-accumulate codes
Authors as they appear in the Paper:

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Repeat-Accumulate code has been widely used in various practical communication systems due to its special structure that can be encoded with a low complexity turbo-like encoder and decoded with a high-speed parallel algorithm. However, the construction of RA codes with large girth is still a challenging problem. In this paper, the girth upper bound of RA codes is analyzed and a novel RA code construction scheme is proposed. This scheme generates the parity-check matrix with superimposed structured interleavers, guaranteeing the resulting matrix to be globally optimized. Compared with the RA codes constructed with traditional structured interleavers such as \pi-rotation interleavers, pseudo-random interleavers, combinatorial interleavers, and modified L-type interleavers, the codes constructed with the proposed method exhibit better error-correcting performance. Moreover, a parallel VLSI codec architecture is proposed for the RA codes generated with the proposed met!
hod in this paper. Modifying the conventional RA encoder architecture, the codec for RA codes from our proposed method may have the same hardware implementation complexity as that for traditional RA codes, while the data throughput of our codec may achieve up to 450Mbps, which may be of great value for practical applications.

Abstract: This paper presents matrix inversion normalized least mean square (MI-NLMS) adaptive beamforming algorithm for smart antenna in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. The proposed algorithm for adaptive beamforming in OFDM system was developed by combining the sample matrix inversion (SMI) and the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithms taking the individual good aspects of both algorithms; the block adaptive and sample by sample techniques. Based on the obtained results, it appears that the MI-NLMS has more reliable and faster convergence compared to the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. The algorithm provides faster convergence speed, low bit error rate (BER) and less complexity. Computer simulation results showed that the less complexity MI-NLMS yields 81% BER improvements by using 8 elements antenna array compared to single element antenna and 92% at 256 pilots compared to BER at 32 pilots for the MI-NLMS algorithm. The MI-NLMS algori!
thm achieved overall 63% BER improvement for MI-NLMS algorithm at angle spread 0 degree compared to LMS algorithm.

Abstract: - In this paper is offered a method for non-linear still image representation based on pyramidal decomposition with a neural network. This approach is developed by analogy with the hypothesis for the way humans do image recognition using consecutive approximations with increasing similarity. A hierarchical decomposition, named Inverse Difference Pyramid (IDP), is used for the image representation. The approximations in the consecutive decomposition layers are represented by the neurons in the hidden layers of the neural networks (NN). This approach ensures efficient description of the processed images and as a result – a high compression ratio. This new way for image representation is suitable for various applications (efficient compression, multi-layer search in image databases, etc.).
