Abstract: Based on accelerometer, we propose a 3D handwriting recognition system in this paper. The system is consists of 4 main parts: (1) data collection: a single tri-axis accelerometer is mounted on a handheld device to collect different handwriting data. A set of key patterns have to be written using the handheld device several times for consequential processing and training. (2) data preprocessing: time series are mapped into eight octant of three-dimensional Euclidean coordinate system. (3) data training: weighted LCS and SVM are combined to perform the classification task. (4) pattern recognition: using the trained SVM model to carry out the prediction task. To evaluate the performance of our handwriting recognition model, we choose the experiment of recognizing a set of English words. The accuracy of classification could be achieved at about 96.85%.

Abstract: Imbued with the conviction that continuous improvement of the workforce is vital for the sustainability and competitiveness of construction, various training initiatives have been introduced to promote the improvement of workforce performance within construction industries. The failure to contend with fragmented nature of construction exacerbated further by change have often been quoted as leading to mismatches between the training offered and the workforce training needs. Consequently, many training initiatives have fallen short of its intended objective and the challenge of meeting the needs for improved performance of the workforce continue to persist. In recognition of the need to circumvent this phenomenon, this paper draws from some of the findings of a research on the UK construction industry. It posits that the way forward for the construction industry workforce improvement is to critically rethink the training and by assimilating best practice concep!
ts within the training processes. In conclusion, it suggests a best practice training framework to underpin the effective design, delivery and outcomes of training.

Abstract: Inadequacies in the provisions for training have been cited as one of the reasons for the small numbers of well-trained and qualified construction site managers in the UK construction industry.  Underpinning this argument is that the job of the site managers are significantly influenced by the situational, organizational and personal variables that impact their job, but this was not adequately considered in the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) when designing the training at the industry level.A research was carried out to investigate the validity of this claim.  On the assumption that these variables can have a significant influence on the roles and tasks of site managers, the research sought to establish the impact of these variables on the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and the consequent training offered.  The findings suggest that the roles and tasks of site managers' are generally common across the varied background site managers, construction organisations and ty!
pes of projects.  This suggests that a generic training model can be established at the industry level.  The roles and tasks identified should be a key terms of reference in the design and delivery of the training.

Abstract: This paper is part of the research conducting by the researcher on 'The Adaptation of SBRS (Sustainable Building Rating System) for Malaysian Buildings'. This paper reveals the scenario of Sustainable Building Rating System issues in Malaysia. This is to explore the hindering and facilitating factors that contribute to the success implementation of SBRS in Malaysia. The Malaysian building industry has over the years been developing and working towards a more sustainable and green architecture. The needs for SBRS become more apparent with the increasing demand from building end-user for Green rated building. This was also supported by objectives of many companies today where good corporate social responsibility (CSR) calls for them to support environmental friendly including their office premises. Government support is important to establish confident among building industry players. However, according to Ar. Lee Chor  Wah, the PAM President, the roadblocks to build!
ing green in Malaysia is the lack of knowledge and the key is education .(NST Property, ). This research will support on the knowledge and understanding of the building industry key players on the implementation of SBRS to their building projects.

Abstract: Abstract- Most of the household electronic products and office equipment circuitry are designed to plug directly into wall outlets and draw 120 or 240 volts of alternating current (AC), internally they operate at a much lower DC voltage. The AC to DC conversion is performed by devices called power supplies. As most of the domestic electrical and electronic appliances require power supplies to operate, their efficient functioning is of serious concern to the energy efficiency community. A vast majority of the end users consume excess energy owing to the use of inefficient, bulky and outdated power supply systems. Hence there is a great scope for energy saving in this area. In this paper an overview of the power supply energy consumption pattern and the effects of different operation modes on the system overall power consumption is presented with adequate recommendations to achieve energy efficiency.

Abstract: The term replication in a distributed database refers to the operation of copying and maintaining database objects in more than one location. There are three types of replication in distributed system that are snapshot, transactional and merge. A partial failure may happen when one component in such system fails. This failure may affect the proper operation of other components while at the same time leaving yet other components totally unaffected. An important goal in such systems design is to construct the system in a way that it can automatically recover from partial failures without seriously affecting the overall performance and continue to operate in an acceptable way while repairs are being made. The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the d!
esired degree of configurability, scalability, and customizability. To address these issues, researchers are investigating a variety of innovative approaches. The most promising and intriguing ones are those based on the ability of moving code across the nodes of a network, exploiting the notion of mobile code, the agent toolkit can be chosen as a platform for the replication. So, this paper introduced the topic of agent replication for distributed database and examined the issues associated with using agent replication in a multi-agent system as well as the main issues of agent communication, read/write consistency and state synchronization.

Abstract: Man is main actor in any system created in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT). From conception to system discard, man is the system designer, system developer, system user and man is affect by the system, positively or negatively. Although man is the main actor, several systems engineering methods do not include the human aspect during the system development. Given the cost involved in system changes after understand its requirements; we must include the humanism in system requirements elicitation phase. This requirements engineering process is a system inside the system to be treated, it is a system where the components are human activities. This paper proposes the use of soft system approach to this process as a way to identify human requirements for reduce the discrepancy between the expected systems features and the ones that will be perceived.

Abstract: The modal share of highways transportation in Turkey has very high value opposite to railway transportation. The energy consumed on highways transportation per ton-km (tkm) or passenger-km (pkm) is much higher than railway transportation. In Turkey, during the 1988-2005 periods, it was observed that energy intensity on highways transportation was decreased remarkably. However, the activity share of highways increased during this period. Although, the modal share of activity on railways transportation was shown declining tendency, the energy intensity of railways was showing increasing propensity. In this study, the ANN model was built to take advantage of the relationship between modal activity share and modal energy intensity in transport of Turkey. ANN model is constructed by using the modal share of freight on highways, the modal share of passenger transportation of highways, the modal share of freight on railways and the modal share of passenger transportation !
on railways are used as inputs and the energy intensity of freight on highways, the energy intensity of passenger transportation on highways, the energy intensity of freight on railways, the energy intensity of passenger transportation on railways as outputs variables. The best ANN model for the estimation of energy intensity has 0,9844, 0,0157 and 5,59%, Rsquare, mean square error and average percent error, respectively. The explicit mathematical formulation of this ANN model is formed by using optimum weights and bias. The ANN model reflected the fluctuations in the data set to the predicted values. The proposed ANN model can be used to develop energy efficiency scenarios, which can be performed by changing modal activity share.

Title of the Paper: New Inquiry on Prediction Model of Fatality Number in Traffic Accidents
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Omer Faruk Cansiz
Email addresses of all the authors: ofcansiz@mku.edu.tr
Number of paper pages: 15
Abstract: The Smeed Equation (SE) is the first model improved to estimate the dead number in accidents which consists of the independent variables of population and number of vehicles and the dependent variable of dead number. In this study, population variable in SE is replaced with vehicle-kilometer (vehicle-km). At first, SE is made suitable for the USA data and Revised SE is obtained. Then the coefficients are calculated again by the replacement of the vehicle-km with population and Improved SE is obtained. Afterwards, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models are formed in both variable groups of population and vehicle-km. The best ANN model, whose inputs are number of vehicles and vehicle-km, has 15 neuron, tan-sig and purelin transfer functions and LM train algorithm. In the comparison of the best ANN model and Improved SE models, the value of R2 increases from 0,9428 to 0,9793, the value of mean square errors (MSE) decreases from 36.414 to 27.337 and the value of averag!
e percent errors (APE) decreases from 20,31% to 19,71%. As a result the replacement of the vehicle-km variable with population has a contribution in the estimation of the dead numbers in traffic accidents. This study showed that use of vehicle-km instead of the population in the dead number prediction can be improved accuracy of the proposed models. Moreover, ANN models can be used to predict the dead number in traffic accident with high correlation coefficient, low MSE and APE according to the SE and Loglinear regression methods.

Abstract: The term replication in a distributed database refers to the operation of copying and maintaining database objects in more than one location. There are three types of replication in distributed system that are snapshot, transactional and merge. A partial failure may happen when one component in such system fails. This failure may affect the proper operation of other components while at the same time leaving yet other components totally unaffected. An important goal in such systems design is to construct the system in a way that it can automatically recover from partial failures without seriously affecting the overall performance and continue to operate in an acceptable way while repairs are being made. The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the !
desired degree of configurability, scalability, and customizability. To address these issues, researchers are investigating a variety of innovative approaches. The most promising and intriguing ones are those based on the ability of moving code across the nodes of a network, exploiting the notion of mobile code, the agent toolkit can be chosen as a platform for the replication. So, this paper introduced the topic of agent replication for distributed database and examined the issues associated with using agent replication in a multi-agent system as well as the main issues of agent communication, read/write consistency and state synchronization.

Abstract: A broad look at modern digital learning shows that the effect of incorporating technology into learning is the improvement of learning efficiency and ensuring learning results. However, the main factor that influences the results of digital learning is the way teachers and students use this resource, and not the technology itself. This study used Davis et al.¡¦s Technology Acceptance Model as its framework, and incorporated learning motivation, system characteristics, and material characteristics as its external variables, and used mind mapping to conduct a teaching experiment in an economics class. Results showed that ¡§material characteristics¡¨ and ¡§learning motivation¡¨ and ¡§perceived usefulness¡¨ and ¡§perceived ease of use¡¨ in the Technology Acceptance Model positively influenced learners¡¦ ¡§using attitudes¡¨ and ¡§learning effectiveness.¡¨ Therefore, the more diversity in the contents and design of materials and the more positive the learning attitudes o!
f learners, students will have more positive attitudes based on their perceived usefulness of the cognitive knowledge technology of Mind Mapping and thus improve their learning efficiency levels. Based on the findings, its implications and limitations are discussed.

Abstract: This paper is part of the research conducting by the researcher on the adaptation of SBRS (Sustainable Building Rating System) for Malaysian Buildings. Indicators of sustainability are necessary for determining how well buildings perform against environment, social, socio-cultural and economic criteria on regional, national and global scales.The primary role of an environmental building assessment method is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the environmental characteristics of a building using a common and verifiable set of criteria and targets for building owners, designers and authorities to achieve higher environmental standards (Kibert, 2005, Ding, 2007). This paper, report the experience of conducting assessment of selected SBRS (Green Mark and SBTool) on the LEO building. It is also describe the three structure of comparison analysis that considered in the assessment- Theoretical Comparison Analysis , The evaluation comparison analysis and Overall Comp!
arison. Expert review on the assessment are carried out to validate the result.

Abstract: Rainwater Harvesting lately has gained recognition as a sustainable means of domestic water supply globally. Malaysia as a country which received a very high rainfall throughout the year is not fully capitalized on this. Even though, traditionally is was done in remote area since long time ago using a primitive way of collecting rainwater from the roof or surface before it touch the ground and stored for domestic usage. The resurgence of rainwater harvesting is due to the paradigm shift in concept of resources and supply and supply water as demand increased due to the increase of the world population. The Malaysian Government has recognized that rainwater harvesting contribute toward National Water Conservation Policy. It has made a commitment to revise the Guidelines for Installing a Rainwater Collection and Utilization System in the Ninth Malaysian Plan within a period of 2006 – 2010. Encouragement from the government through various means of awareness program an!
d incentive has increased the number of rainwater harvesting system in various building types. This paper will  cover the potential development of rainwater harvesting which has been implemented in Malaysia. It will also explain the process of the Malaysian Government to encourage on the rainwater harvesting system.

Abstract: This paper deals with the control problem of a class of tentacle arms. A tentacle robot produces changes of configuration using a continuous backbone made of sections which bend. The lack of discrete joints is a serious and difficult issue in the determination of the robot's shape. A tentacle arm has a variable length and theoretically it can achieve any position and orientation in 3D space. In order to get a better control in the constraint operator space, it is possible to increase the length of the tentacle. A tentacle arm prototype was designed and the practical realization is now running.

Abstract: This paper is focused on the investigation of the interaction between a synthetic jet and the boundary layer which develops over a flat plate subjected to an adverse pressure gradient typical of a high-lift low-pressure turbine profile. Two different Reynolds numbers of the main flow, Re = 200000 and Re = 70000, typical of the low-pressure turbine operating conditions during the take-off/landing and cruise phases, respectively, have been investigated. Wall static pressure distributions along the plate showed the different effects induced by the jet on the boundary layer separation with the jet Strouhal numbers investigated. The device capability of suppressing the large laminar separation bubble which occurs for the uncontrolled condition has been more in depth investigated by means of hot-wire time-mean and ensemble averaged measurements. The phase-locked ensemble averaging technique, synchronized with the synthetic jet frequency, has been employed to distinguish !
the effects induced by the jet during the blowing and the suction phases. The active device has been proved to be able to control the laminar separation bubble induced by a strong adverse pressure gradient, also at the low Reynolds number condition tested. The ensemble averaged measurements showed that a larger contribution to the reduction of the boundary layer velocity defect is obtained during the suction phase of the jet.

Abstract: With the purposes of better understanding the phenomena associated with the synthetic jet operation as well as identifying suitable design criteria to control boundary layer laminar separation, the aerodynamic performance of a synthetic jet system has been experimentally investigated. Both device design and its aerodynamic characterization are addressed in the paper, paying particular attention to the fundamental parameters to be set for the synthetic jet design. The synthetic jet behaviour has been surveyed adopting different measuring techniques. Power density spectra have been evaluated from jet velocity distributions measured by means of a hot-wire anemometer. In order to investigate the instantaneous flow field and to allow the identification of the jet organised flow structures, Particle Image Velocimetry has been adopted. Moreover, to distinguish the different jet dynamics during the peculiar phases of the device (blowing and suction), phase-locked ensemble !
averaging technique has been applied. The system has been successively tested with external cross-flow and the jet performance has been surveyed. In particular, the device has been applied on a flat plate installed in a double contoured walls test section in order to verify the capability of the jet in suppressing the boundary layer laminar separation induced by strong adverse pressure gradients, typical of Ultra-High-Lift turbine pressure distributions.

Abstract: Satellite tracking is one of the most rapidly growing service business areas in the world, and there are already many commercial applications available. Benefits of the service for the customer are advertised, but very seldom there is any mention of information security of the system. Modern satellite tracking systems contain communication and data processing on many levels, so they are vulnerable to many risks of information security. This paper covers the main satellite tracking system information security vulnerabilities and gives guidelines on how to make systems and services more secure.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose novel hardware architecture for intra 16x16 module for the macroblock engine of a new video coding standard, H.264. To reduce the cycle of intra prediction 16x16, transform/quantization, and inverse quantization/inverse transform of H.264, an advanced method for different operation is proposed. This architecture can process one macroblock for 208 cycles for all cases of macroblock type by processing 4×4 Hadamard transform and quantization during 16×16 prediction. This module was designed using VHDL Hardware Description Language (HDL) and works with a 160 MHz clock using ALTERA NIOS-II development board with Stratix II EP2S60F1020C3 FPGA. The system also includes software running on an NIOS-II processor for implementing the pre-processing and the post-processing function. Finally, the execution time of our HW solution is decreased by 26% when compared with the previous work.

Abstract: Website quality has been verified to influence the electronic commerce, and there has been discussion about the effects of website quality on consumer behavior. Although satisfaction is expected to be antecedent to customer loyalty, few studies have systematically examined related to website quality. The purpose of this study was to develop a customer loyalty model. Based on the updated DeLone and McLean¡¦s IS success model and related literature, a comprehensive set of constructs and hypotheses were compiled with a methodology for testing them. A questionnaire was constructed and data were collected from 283 users of e-bank systems in Taiwan. The findings confirmed that customer loyalty was affected by website quality which includes system quality, information quality, and customer satisfaction, with information quality playing a stronger totally effective role in the relationship of website quality to customer loyalty.

Abstract: Abstract: - The multiple regression analysis is proposed as method for presentation results of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which simultaneously depends on several parameters. The coefficients of linear multiple regression model are assessed by the least square method. In this way dependent variable – retention volume – is expressed by more than one explanatory variable (i.e. by the molar mass, concentrations of eluent and temperature). The approach was to depict dependences of retention volumes on molar mass of polystyrene probes in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and in mixed eluents THF plus dimethylformamide eluents on the silica gel alkyl bonded column packing. The dependences retention volumes on molar mass, concentrations of eluent and are shown.

Abstract: A simple technology in principle is proposed on the basis of its safety, reliability and flexibility, reflecting past technical achievements for the well-being in ageing society. Hereby, the active use of the Internet environment is described for the wide provision of convenience and help of daily life on public benefits. We propose some methods concerning system management and software provision to start up the computer from a distance, which can help better use of these networks. We present technical viewpoints from our studies with comprehensive engineering issues related to development and practical utilization of basic functions required by the Internet. From the progress in information and communication technology, appropriate systems were systematically developed for the help of daily life, amusement, guidance, health care, rehabilitation, nursing and medicare. They enabled the beneficiaries not only to ask neighbors in emergency and to have daily necessitie!
s, but also to cover effective activity and communications in remote islands and/or depopulated area where sufficient resource of medical staff might not be provided. In order to bilaterally communicate with beneficiaries, an extended functions of the proposed basic system are utilized for all the various systems, which we propose as the concrete methods and apparatus to communicate their concerning data. In the present study, important methods for the help of everyday life and rescue of a lonely living person with sudden illness threatened to life are realized by the combination of the additional button type computer with the proposed communication techniques without any complicated manipulation under the Internet environment.

Title of the Paper: new technique applied in dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) for unbalance voltage compensation
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Rosli Omar
Email addresses of all the authors: Rosli Omar
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: This paper discusses the design and development of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) controller for voltage unbalanced compensation using d-q-o transformation technique. The controller in d-q-o coordinates has better performance than conventional controllers. The controlled variables in d-q-o coordinates are then inversely transformed to the original voltages which produced reference voltages to a DVR. The performance of proposed control algorithm has been simulated by MATLAB/SIMULINK SimPower System Toolbox. A prototype has been developed in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control solution. Simulation and experimental results are presented for various conditions of unbalanced voltage in the supply voltage to show the compensation effectiveness.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Dynamic threshold MOS (DTMOS) circuits provide low leakage and high current drive, compared to CMOS circuits, operated at lower voltages. This paper proposes a modified DTMOS approach, called Variable threshold MOS (VTMOS) approach. The VTMOS is based on operating the MOS devices with an appropriate substrate bias which varies with gate voltage, by connecting a positive bias voltage between gate and substrate for NMOS and negative bias voltage between gate and substrate for PMOS. With VTMOS, there is a considerable reduction in operating current and power dissipation, while the remaining characteristics are almost the same as those of DTMOS. Results of our investigations show that VTMOS circuits improves the power up to 50% when compared to CMOS and DTMOS circuits, in sub threshold-region..The performance characteristics of VTMOS inverter, Two-input Nand ,Two-input Nor- The Power dissipation, Propagation delay and Power delay product with the substrate b!
ias have been evaluated through simulation using H spice. The dependency of these parameters on frequency of operation has also been investigated.

Abstract: A thermistor is a thermally sensitive resistor whose electrical conductivity changes drastically by orders of magnitude as the temperature reaches a certain value. Basis of its working is an electrical conductivity that is highly nonlinear function of temper- ature. The current °owing through the device drives internal Joule heating. They are used in the medical ¯eld for localized and general body temperature measurement, in meteorology for weather forecasting chemical industries as process temperature sensors as well as temperature control elements in large variety of military and industrial equip- ment ranging from space vehicles to air conditioning controllers. In the present work, a numerical approach is applied to ¯nd the solution of a PTC problem. Numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the exact solution available.

Abstract: The mechanical manufacturing of micro-parts is a challenging field of research. Because of high quality requirements and small tolerances, manufacturing processes have to be very stable and precise. In order to achieve high precision a suitable quality assurance concept is required. Only measured features can be used for statistical process control (SPC). Therefore, this paper presents a concept of an automated visual inspection and classification methods for micro-parts. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy, high-resolution 3D-height maps with depth selectivity are obtained. The identification of surface imperfections is done with a set of conventional image processing techniques. Afterwards, these kinds of surface defects are classified by the use of classification methods like decision trees.

Abstract: Based on the luminance attribute of pop album cover, a diachronic study was conducted. It was argued that the denotation is significant related to the luminance attribute. The population of this study was those pop albums published from 1980 to 1989. In those years, this country was gradual opening up of political and economic stability. The sampled representative pop album covers were collected and put on the computer screen for conducting content analysis. The denotation and luminance attribute of each sampled album cover were also identified for statistical test. The relation between luminance and color was verified by applying regression technique. It was concluded that luminance could be predict 100 percent by the values of RGB colors. A logit regression was used to predict denotation of pop album cover from mean value of luminance and standard deviation of luminance. The C5.0 model was used to build a rule set and a decision tree for further illustrate the re!
lation between luminance attribute and denotation.

Abstract: Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is becoming a fundamental part of any embedded system that has to interact with humans. Language-independence in speech synthesis is a primary requirement for systems that are not practical to update, as is the case for most embedded systems. Because current text-to-speech synthesis usually refers to a single language and to a single speaker (or at most a limited set of voices), a framework for language-independent, text-to-speech synthesis is proposed to overcome these limitations in implementing speech synthesis on embedded systems. The proposed text-to-speech synthesis framework was designed to embed phonetic and prosodic information in a set of rules. To complete this language-independent speech-synthesis solution, a universal set of phones has been defined so that the appropriate speech sounds for every language are available at run time. Synthesis of more than one language can easily be carried out by switching from one rul!
e set to another while keeping a common phone-data set. Using a vocal-track-based speech synthesizer, the system does not depend on phone sets recorded from an actual specific human voice, so voice types can be chosen at run time.

Abstract: The line-to-output (LTO) frequency response of switched DC-DC converter describes how the small-signal harmonic perturbation of the converted input DC voltage penetrates into the converter output, depending on the frequency of this perturbation. In the paper, the LTO frequency response conceived in this sense is faced with the LTO response, obtained by applying the well-known State-Space-Averaging (SSA) technique to switched converters, with the aim of determining the fundamental limitations of the SSA-approach. The general analysis is then applied to Buck-, Boost-, Buck-Boost-, and Cuk- type converters. It is shown that the accuracy of SSA outputs is related to the character of the state matrices of the converters.

As a result, we come to the conclusion that the traveling wave solutions for the two non-linear equations are obtained in three arbitrary functions including hyperbolic function solutions,trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. The method appears to be easier and faster by means of some mathematical software.

Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the (G'/G)-expansion method by seeking more exact solutions of the fifth-order Kdv equation and the BBM equation. By the method, the two nonlinear evolution equations are separately reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODE) by using a simple transformation. As a result, the traveling wave solutions are obtained in three arbitrary functions including hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. When the parameters are taken as special values, we also obtain the soliton solutions of the fifth-order Kdv equation. The method appears to be easier and faster by means of a symbolic computation system.
