Abstract The application of non-linear loads in the power electronic device causes serious harmonic issues in the power system since it has the intrinsic property of retrieving harmonic current and reactive power from Alternating Current (AC) supply that leads to voltage instability. To maintain a reliable power flow in the power system, an innovative Unified Power Flow Converter (UPFC) is utilized in this proposed approach. The conventional series converter is replaced with the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) that improves the power handling capability and achieves higher modular level with minimized distortions. The shunt compensator assists in minimizing the voltage fluctuations and… More >

Abstract Tumor detection has been an active research topic in recent years due to the high mortality rate. Computer vision (CV) and image processing techniques have recently become popular for detecting tumors in MRI images. The automated detection process is simpler and takes less time than manual processing. In addition, the difference in the expanding shape of brain tumor tissues complicates and complicates tumor detection for clinicians. We proposed a new framework for tumor detection as well as tumor classification into relevant categories in this paper. For tumor segmentation, the proposed framework employs the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and for… More >

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, non-communicable, painful, disfiguring and disabling disease for which there is no cure, with great negative impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL). Diagnosis and treatment with traditional Chinese medical technique based on syndrome differentiation has been used in practice for a long time and proven effective, though, up to now, there are only a few available studies about the use of semantic technologies and the knowledge systems that use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-syndrome differentiation for information retrieval and automated reasoning. In this paper we use semantic techniques based on ontologies to develop a prototypical system for… More >

Abstract Mobile-Edge Computing (MEC) displaces cloud services as closely as possible to the end user. This enables the edge servers to execute the offloaded tasks that are requested by the users, which in turn decreases the energy consumption and the turnaround time delay. However, as a result of a hostile environment or in catastrophic zones with no network, it could be difficult to deploy such edge servers. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be employed in such scenarios. The edge servers mounted on these UAVs assist with task offloading. For the majority of IoT applications, the execution times of tasks are often… More >

Abstract In the present paper, the distribution feeder reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generation resources (DGR) and energy storage systems (ESS) is solved in the dynamic form. Since studies on the reconfiguration problem have ignored the grid security and reliability, the non-distributed energy index along with the energy loss and voltage stability indices has been assumed as the objective functions of the given problem. To achieve the mentioned benefits, there are several practical plans in the distribution network. One of these applications is the network rearrangement plan, which is the simplest and least expensive way to add equipment to the… More >

Abstract In this paper, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) based methods are to be applied on fault diagnosis in a robot manipulator. A comparative study between the two classifiers in terms of successfully detecting and isolating the seven classes of sensor faults is considered in this work. For both classifiers, the torque, the position and the speed of the manipulator have been employed as the input vector. However, it is to mention that a large database is needed and used for the training and testing phases. The SVM method used in this paper is based on the Gaussian… More >

Abstract Heterogeneous Wireless Network is currently a major area of focus in communication engineering. But the important issue in recent communication is the approachability to the wireless networks while maintaining the quality of service. Today, all the wireless access networks are working in tandem to keep the users always connected to the internet cloud that matches the price affordability and performance goals. In order to achieve seamless connectivity, due consideration has to be given to handoff precision and a smaller number of handoffs. Several researchers have used heuristic approaches to solve this issue. In the present work, a hybrid intelligent algorithm… More >

Abstract This study mainly uses the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) to establish a smart house with an indoor, comfortable, environmental, and real-time monitoring system. In the smart house, this investigation employed the temperature- and humidity-sensing module and the lightness module to monitor any condition for an intelligent-living house. The data of temperature, humidity, and lightness are transmitted wirelessly to the human-machine interface. The correlation of the weight of the extension theory is used to analyze the ideal and comfortable environment so that people in the indoor environment can feel better thermal comfort and lightness. In this study, improved… More >

Abstract Edge detection is an effective method for image segmentation and feature extraction. Therefore, extracting weak edges with the inhomogeneous gray of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) CT images is extremely important. Multiscale morphology has been widely used in the edge detection of medical images due to its excellent boundary detection accuracy. In this paper, we propose a weak edge detection method based on Gaussian filtering and singlescale Retinex (GF_SSR), and improved multiscale morphology and adaptive threshold binarization (IMSM_ATB). As all the CT images have noise, we propose to remove image noise by Gaussian filtering. The edge of CT images is… More >

Abstract Fusing medical images is a topic of interest in processing medical images. This is achieved to through fusing information from multimodality images for the purpose of increasing the clinical diagnosis accuracy. This fusion aims to improve the image quality and preserve the specific features. The methods of medical image fusion generally use knowledge in many different fields such as clinical medicine, computer vision, digital imaging, machine learning, pattern recognition to fuse different medical images. There are two main approaches in fusing image, including spatial domain approach and transform domain approachs. This paper proposes a new algorithm to fusion multimodal images.… More >
