Abstract: Abstract: This paper attempts to analyze the performance of 65 nm CMOS device structures for low power applications. It indicates that the historical trend of scaling of MOS devices can be sustained by innovative CMOS Structures such as Ultra-thin body SOI devices and multiple gate MOSFETS (such as FinFETS), that can withstand the adverse effects of Scaling. A particular issue of great concern in logic design is the power dissipation. For high- performance logic with increased leakage currents, chip static power dissipation is expected to become a bottleneck to meet aggressive targets for performance scaling. Innovations in circuit design and architecture for performance management as well as utilization of multiple transistors on chip are required for chip design. Multiple transistors having different threshold voltages (Vt) are used selectively with the low Vt, high leakage devices being used mainly in the critical paths and higher Vt, lower leakage devices being!
used in the rest of the chip area to control static power dissipation. This paper presents the low static power dissipation CMOS devices at 65 nm technology node and compares the performance of SOI CMOS with the conventional planar Bulk CMOS and establishes that SOI CMOS is better suited for low stand-by power applications. A low leakage current of 0.2 pA/ƒÝm for NMOS and 0.1 pA/ƒÝm for PMOS was observed for SOI devices at a supply voltage of 1.5V as compared to 10nA/ƒÝm for bulk CMOS devices at a supply voltage of 1.2V.
Keywords: Keywords: Bulk CMOS, SOI MOSFET, MOS Scaling and Leakage currents.

Abstract: The 7.6Mw Kashmir earthquake on October 8, 2005 caused numerous landslides throughout the Himalayan mountain of northern Pakistan especially in Balakot, district Mansehra region which caused great loss of human life, destruction of infrastructures and disruption to economic activity. This paper provides information on landslide risk criteria conceptual model for landslide risk to the human life, residential and commercial infrastructure and life line network in Balakot, Pakistan. First the landslide risk criteria was set and the base of land slide risk criteria was studied through identifying the spatial features of the study area by developing land cover / land use map using Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery. The significance of this research is the composition of different applied algorithms, criteria and parameters where in past, they were used as individual where they left many flaws and remained uncertain. In past, either some of the part of the landslide risk !
criteria was ignored or the selection of the traditional parameters was only focused so the resulting landslide risk models remained uncertain, subjective and complex so they need more addition of knowledge, accuracy and well implementation directions for the decision makers. This landslide risk criteria conceptual model has been developed by compositing various, criteria, algorithms, compositing traditional and new parameters, setting their four classes, assigning the different weights to them based on the experts judgment. This integrated approach based landslide risk criteria conceptual model can be road map and can cover many drawbacks in developing landslide risk analysis model for future.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: The mass customization production consists of two stages: the initial make-to-stock phase which is driven by the order and the final make-to-order phase which is driven by forecast. Customer order decoupling point is the point which differentiates order-driven flow and forecast-driven flow in mass customization production. Reasonable positioning of customer order decoupling point is difficult and also important for effective implementation mass customization. The influence factors and their mechanism to customer order decoupling point is analyzed from such four aspects as: market factors, product factors, production factors, and resource factors. Both the reason and effect of customer order decoupling point upstream and downstream shift are studied. Then, the extension theory is introduced, and the extension superiority evaluation model is established to select the right decoupling point. Finally, the extension superiority evaluation model is verified with an appli!
cation case in one China air conditioner company.

Abstract: A car suspension system is the mechanism that physically separates the car body from the wheels of the car. Active suspensions differ from the conventional passive suspensions in their ability to inject energy into the system, which can improve the trade-off between the ride comfort and road handling. A discrete optimal control algorithm is proposed in this paper for a limited bandwidth active suspension, in which both look-ahead and wheelbase preview information are utilized. The preview optimal algorithm is implemented in Matlab/Simulink software environment based on a half-vehicle model. The effect of preview time on system performance is investigated. In order to reduce the energy consumption, the effect of various bandwidth of actuator is particularly examined. Simulation results show that the preview time can influence overall system performance remarkably, and 0.2 s look-ahead preview time is preferable. Theoretical deviation of the optimal control gain is g!
iven to explain the fact that only look-ahead preview benefits the front wheel¡¯s motion while wheelbase preview benefits the rear wheel¡¯s motion much more. The pitch motion performance deterioration compared with passive case brought by preview can be eliminated to some extent. With preview information, suspension working space requirement can be restrained to a prominent low degree. 6 Hz system is the most suitable one to achieve the trade-off between performance potential and energy consumption in the range 3~15 Hz for limited bandwidth active suspension.

Abstract: This paper outlines a comparative study of different Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models and Adaptive-Networks-based Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) approach for predicting the surface roughness (Ra) using cutting speed (v), feed rate (fr ) and cutting depth (d) when machining Nickel-based super alloys with uncoated carbide tool under milling conditions. Nickel-based supper alloys are generally known to be one of the most difficult materials to machine because of hardness, high strength at high temperature, affinity to react with the tool materials, and low thermal diffusivity. In this work, we develop an accurate and reliable model for prediction of surface roughness for Nickel-based super alloys in end milling operations. In this study, to ensure the effectiveness of connectionist techniques, different models such as multi-layered perceptron (MLP), Elman recurrent neural network (ERNN), radial basis function network (RBFN) and ANFIS networks were designed and !
optimal networks parameters were found. All the designed networks modeling and prediction ability were found using root mean square error (RMSE) and regression analysis. We found that RBFN has perfect modeling capability but very poor prediction ability. On the other hand, ERNN and ANFIS have very good modeling and prediction ability. Finally, we concluded that ERNN and ANFIS models could be used to predict the surface roughness (Ra) for nickel-based super alloys in end milling process compared to the other connectionist models

Abstract: This paper deals with a portfolio selection problem with transaction costs in fuzzy environment. A possibilistic portfolio model with transaction costs is proposed in which the possibilistic mean value of the return is termed measure of investment return and the possibilistic variance of the return is termed measure of investment risk. We further design an improved particle swarm optimization to solve our proposed problem which is difficult to solve efficiently by traditional optimization algorithms due to its nonconcavity and special structure. At last, a numerical example is given to illustrate our proposed effective model and method.

Abstract: Proposed emission reduction targets as well as the scarcity of fossil fuel resources make a transition of the energy system towards a carbon free electricity supply necessary. Promising energy resources are solar and wind energy. The high temporal and geographical variability of these resources is challenging for their integration. This study focuses on the question how a renewable-based energy system ideally should be designed. We investigate the optimal structure of a prospective renewable-based power supply system on two different scales: on the global and the European level. The paper describes the applied simulation technique, based on linear optimization, employed to combine an adequately precise geographical coverage with high temporal resolution. As results we obtain ideal energy mixes, generation sites, storage and interregional power transmission capacities required for different scenarios of highly renewable supply.

Abstract: The adoption of fuel cells (FCs) for industrial applications, transportations and home power generation is widely increased during recent years. Because FCs are still in the development stage, to evaluate and validate fuel cell technologies suitable test systems are needed. In a fuel cell both chemical and electric sections can be founded, so to control its behaviour the measurement of different parameters, as current, voltage, flow rate of the reactants and cell temperature is required. The performance evaluation of a fuel cell requires both static and dynamic characterizations, especially for the automotive applications, in which there is a dynamic variation of electric load. To better design this kind of applications, a FC mathematical model is required, to evaluate the performance at different working conditions. The synthesis of a dynamic model describing the FC behavior should be performed starting form the real system configuration, including pipes, flow and!
pressure regulators and valves. To this aim an automatic measurement system for the characterization of PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) fuel cells has been developed, and in this paper a dynamic model of a fuel cells stack is proposed, which has been validated through experimental measures.

Abstract: Too high sampling rate is the bottleneck to wideband spectrum sensing for cognitive radio (CR). As the survey shows that the sensed signal has a sparse representation in frequency domain in the mass, compressed sensing (CS) can be used to transfer the sampling burden to the digital signal processor. An analog to information converter (AIC) can randomly sample the received signal with sub-Nyquist rate to obtained the random measurements. Considering that the static frequency spectrum allocation of primary radios means the bounds between different primary radios is known in advance, here we incorporate information of the spectrum boundaries between different primary user as a priori information to obtain a mixed l2/l1 norm denoising operator (MNDO). In the MNDO, the estimated power spectrum density (PSD) vector is divided into block sections with bounds corresponding different allocated primary radios. Different from previous standard l1-norm constraint on the whole !
PSD vector, a sum of the l2 norm of each section of the PSD vector is minimized to encourage the local grouping distribution while the sparse distribution in mass, while a relaxed constraint is used to improve the denoising performance. Simulation demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms standard sparse spectrum estimation in accuracy, denoising ability, etc.

Title of the Paper: Crisis of fair value measurement? Some defense of the best of all bad measurement bases
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Carmen Bonaci, Dumitru Matis, Jiri Strouhal

Abstract: Many people points towards fair value accounting for financial instruments as being one of the major aggressors of financial crisis. We argue that it is just another case of shooting the messenger, by proving where things really went wrong, and who could be considered responsible within the formed vicious cycle. The results show that fair value accounting is nothing but a "scapegoat", while the ones who are now asking a restriction in the scope of fair value accounting should take more responsibility for their actions. An objective point of view implies making a clearer distinction between accounting and prudential concerns. Fair value cannot be considered guilty for the actual financial crisis, but only a messenger of it, case in which some reactions can be understood, because we all know the general reaction towards the manager. In other words, the concept of fair value has the role to bring us as close as possible to reality, fact that could be realized through !
a correct implementation and a greater transparency, if used properly. Concluding by Churchill words about democracy: "it is the worst system with the exception of all others".

Abstract: This paper presents a study of a new proposed End-to-End Based Admission Control scheme with loss policy scheme (EMBAC-L). The proposed scheme introduces an enhancement to the End-to-End Measurement Based Admission Control (EMBAC) mechanism for VoIP networks which contribute to an increase benefits of the scheme. EMPAC-L allows automatic adjustment of admission control scheme parameters using a feedback measurement of the network active loss rate. If the loss rate is less than predetermined threshold the call is accepted, otherwise the call is rejected with probability P which is a function of the measured network loss. The scheme call rejection probability is analyzed with various distribution functions to set the admission threshold to the optimal value which provides the required QoS for VoIP networks. Simulation is used to evaluate the network performance. Our study shows that the proposed admission control mechanisms enhance EMPAC mechanism !
performance and dynamically control VOIP packet loss rate under various network operational conditions.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel method using Bees Algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of FACTS devices for maximizing the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of power transactions between source and sink areas in the deregulated power system. The optimizations are made on three parameters: the location of the devices, their types and their sizes. The FACTS devices are located in order to enhance the available transfer capability (ATC) between source and sink area. Four types of emerging FACTS controllers are used and modeled for steady state studies, namely; TCSC, SVC, UPFC and TCPST. The IEEE9 bus test system and IEEE118 Bus test system are used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm to enhance ATC effectively. The installation costs of FACTS devices are also included. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) configured to the same purpose is used for validation. Results show the difference of efficiency of the devices used in this situation. The!
y also show that simultaneous use of several kinds of controllers is the most efficient solution to increase the ATC. The obtained results indicate that both techniques can successfully find the optimal solution and parameter setting of FACTS devices, but BA is better in term of value of objective function and speed of convergence compared to GA.

Abstract: Limited battery power is the key issue for the wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Energy efficient routing protocols reduce the energy consumption while preserving the network connectivity. Geographic adaptive fidelity (GAF) protocol is one of the energy efficient protocols which extend the lifetime of self-configuring system while preserving connectivity. GAF protocol identifies the redundant nodes and switch off their radios to conserve the energy. In GAF square grid architecture nodes can directly communicate to its vertical and horizontal adjacent grids but not to diagonal grids because of limited radio range. This issue is known as unreachable corner of GAF square grid architecture. To make it reachable it is required to reduce the size of the grid but that reduces the network life time by 37.5%. This paper proposes hexagonal grid structure for GAF named as GAF-HEX. Hexagonal architecture replace virtual square grid of GAF into hexagon. This architecture is eval!
uated on different performance metrics like packet delivery ratio, throughput and energy consumption. Our simulation results shows that GAF-HEX improves packet delivery ratio and throughput with energy consumption almost same as GAF. These protocols are tested with different mobility, pause time, different grid size and traffic rate.

Abstract: Study on the flow characteristics of solenoid valves is essential since they play pivot role in a flow circuit for controlling the flow through a required path for a specified duration. The flow characteristics of a 3/2 -way solenoid valve used in the four stroke propulsion engine of a ship is studied by performing numerical simulation using ANSYS CFX 12.0 commercial software package. The solenoid valve can be operated in two ways- either by pushing the hand operated button for moving the spool or by moving the spool using electric signal. The valve under study is a superspeed valve and the response time of moving spool is very short. The movement of the spool which is located in the middle of the body of solenoid valve affects the flow characteristics. This is examined by performing a static analysis by changing the position of the spool. The high pressure air passes through a pipe and reaches the engine tank of given dimensions. The simulation is performed for di!
fferent inlet pressure and spool displacement and the corresponding flow characteristics are obtained. The results of the three dimensional numerical simulation will be helpful in the proper design of solenoid valve for the industrial applications.

Abstract: The 7.6Mw Kashmir earthquake on October 8, 2005 caused numerous landslides throughout the Himalayan mountain of northern Pakistan especially in Balakot, district Mansehra region which caused great loss of human life, destruction of infrastructures and disruption to economic activity. This paper provides information on landslide risk criteria conceptual model for landslide risk to the human life, residential and commercial infrastructure and life line network in Balakot, Pakistan. First the landslide risk criteria was set and the base of land slide risk criteria was studied through identifying the spatial features of the study area by developing land cover / land use map using Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery. The significance of this research is the composition of different applied algorithms, criteria and parameters where in past, they were used as individual where they left many flaws and remained uncertain. In past, either some of the part of the landslide risk !
criteria was ignored or the selection of the traditional parameters was only focused so the resulting landslide risk models remained uncertain, subjective and complex so they need more addition of knowledge, accuracy and well implementation directions for the decision makers. This landslide risk criteria conceptual model has been developed by compositing various, criteria, algorithms, compositing traditional and new parameters, setting their four classes, assigning the different weights to them based on the experts judgment. This integrated approach based landslide risk criteria conceptual model can be road map and can cover many drawbacks in developing landslide risk analysis model for future

Abstract: The 7.6Mw Kashmir earthquake on October 8, 2005 caused numerous landslides throughout the Himalayan mountain of northern Pakistan especially in Balakot, district Mansehra region which caused great loss of human life, destruction of infrastructures and disruption to economic activity. This paper provides information on landslide risk criteria conceptual model for landslide risk to the human life, residential and commercial infrastructure and life line network in Balakot, Pakistan. First the landslide risk criteria was set and the base of land slide risk criteria was studied through identifying the spatial features of the study area by developing land cover / land use map using Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery. The significance of this research is the composition of different applied algorithms, criteria and parameters where in past, they were used as individual where they left many flaws and remained uncertain. In past, either some of the part of the landslide risk !

Abstract: In this paper the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding is studied and copper temperature field is gained in this process. The thermal effect of arc that specially depends on the shielding gases type and temperature field of it in workpiece, is the main key of analysis and optimization of this process, from which the main goal of this paper has been defined. Energy source properties of GTA strongly depend on physical property of a shielding gas. In this paper, carbon dioxide (CO2) was used as an alternative gas for its low cost. The basic energy source properties of CO2 GTA were numerically predicted ignoring the oxidation of the electrodes. It was predicted that CO2 GTA would have excellent energy source properties comparable to that of He, Ar GTA.

Abstract: Testicular cancer is a rare disease reaching only 1% of all cancer types characteristic to men with ages between 15 and 34 years and has shown an increasing worldwide incidence over the past 30 years. In contrast, the mortality rate has decreased. Hematogen metastases are responsible for the apparition of pulmonary nodules. Determining the pulmonary relapse model, studying prognosis factors for defining risk groups and applying different therapeutic strategies with the evaluation of survival represent the study's main objectives. We conducted a survey from January 2000 to December 2005 on 17 patients admitted in Cluj-Napoca Oncology Institute. We introduced in the study patients diagnosed with testicular carcinoma and pulmonary metastases, we analyzed risk factor and evolution of the diseases with survival function calculated since cancer diagnosis, and the other calculated since pulmonary metastases. We evaluated the risk factors correlated with survival: the av!
erage age ,place of origin, histology tumor markers for our batch: Beta HCG, AFP (alpha-fetoprotein), LDH ,types of pulmonary metastases, the presence of other metastases, the number of metastatic locations, the time span between the apparition of symptoms and diagnosis, the free interval the diagnosis of the primary tumor and metastasis, and value of tumor markers at the time of diagnosis. Based on these prognosis factors, the patients were divided into a good prognosis category (good) and unfavorable (poor) . Because the risk factors usually available are not sufficient to identify the subgroups of patients with an unfavorable prognosis, we tried to evaluate new genetic markers which could prove their prognosis value. We also sought to evaluate the involvement of the hTERT gene in testicular pathology. Patients with metastases will have a different prognosis depending on the relapse model and will require individual strategies selected based on the risk factors by comb!
ining available therapeutic modalities. Early diagnosis and treatment
of metastasis may lead to an improvement in the survival rate of cancer patients

Abstract: The use of renewable energy sources becomes more necessary and interestingly, wider application of renewable energy devices at domestic, commercial and industrial levels is not only resulted in greater awareness but also significantly installed capacities. In addition, biomass principally is in the form of woods and more than that used in form of energy by humans for a long time. Gasification is a process of conversion of solid carbonaceous fuel into combustible gas by partial combustion. Many gasifier models have various operating conditions thus the parameters were kept in each model are different. This study applied the experimental data which have three inputs that are biomass consumption, air flow rate and ash discharge rate and one output is gas flow rate. For this paper, response surface methods was used to identify the gasifier system equation that suitable for this experimental data in this paper and the method were used to identify gasifier system model w!
ere multiple linear regression, quadratic model and cubic model. In the result, cubic model was better way from three methods to get the answer.
