Abstract The generation of electricity, considering environmental and economic factors is one of the most important challenges of recent years. In this article, a thermoelectric generator (TEG) is proposed to use the thermal energy of an electric water heater (EWH) to generate electricity independently. To improve the energy conversion efficiency of the TEG, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC)-based perturb & observe (P&O) type maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm is used in this study. An EWH is one of the major electricity consuming household appliances which causes a higher electricity price for consumers. Also, a significant amount of thermal energy… More >

Abstract Spectral unmixing helps to identify different components present in the spectral mixtures which occur in the uppermost layer of the area owing to the low spatial resolution of hyperspectral images. Most spectral unmixing methods are globally based and do not consider the spectral variability among its endmembers that occur due to illumination, atmospheric, and environmental conditions. Here, endmember bundle extraction plays a major role in overcoming the above-mentioned limitations leading to more accurate abundance fractions. Accordingly, a two-stage approach is proposed to extract endmembers through endmember bundles in hyperspectral images. The divide and conquer method is applied as the first… More >

Abstract Abnormal high blood pressure or hypertension is still the leading risk factor for death and disability worldwide. This paper presents a new intelligent networked control of medical drug infusion system to regulate the mean arterial blood pressure for hypertensive patients with different health status conditions. The infusion of vasoactive drugs to patients endures various issues, such as variation of sensitivity and noise, which require effective and powerful systems to ensure robustness and good performance. The developed intelligent networked system is composed of a hybrid control scheme of interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) logic and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm. This networked IT2F… More >

Abstract MigroGrid (MG) has emerged to resolve the growing demand for energy. But because of its inconsistent output, it can result in various power quality (PQ) issues. PQ is a problem that is becoming more and more important for the reliability of power systems that use renewable energy sources. Similarly, the employment of nonlinear loads will introduce harmonics into the system and, as a result, cause distortions in the current and voltage waveforms as well as low power quality issues in the supply system. Thus, this research focuses on power quality enhancement in the MG using hybrid shunt filters. However, the… More >

Abstract Biometrics represents the technology for measuring the characteristics of the human body. Biometric authentication currently allows for secure, easy, and fast access by recognizing a person based on facial, voice, and fingerprint traits. Iris authentication is one of the essential biometric methods for identifying a person. This authentication type has become popular in research and practical applications. Unlike the face and hands, the iris is an internal organ, protected and therefore less likely to be damaged. However, the number of helpful information collected from the iris is much greater than the other biometric human organs. This work proposes a new… More >

Abstract With the proliferation of the internet, big data continues to grow exponentially, and video has become the largest source. Video big data introduces many technological challenges, including compression, storage, transmission, analysis, and recognition. The increase in the number of multimedia resources has brought an urgent need to develop intelligent methods to organize and process them. The integration between Semantic link Networks and multimedia resources provides a new prospect for organizing them with their semantics. The tags and surrounding texts of multimedia resources are used to measure their semantic association. Two evaluation methods including clustering and retrieval are performed to measure… More >

Abstract Through the use of the internet and cloud computing, users may access their data as well as the programmes they have installed. It is now more challenging than ever before to choose which cloud service providers to take advantage of. When it comes to the dependability of the cloud infrastructure service, those who supply cloud services, as well as those who seek cloud services, have an equal responsibility to exercise utmost care. Because of this, further caution is required to ensure that the appropriate values are reached in light of the ever-increasing need for correct decision-making. The purpose of this… More >

Abstract In previous research on two-sided matching (TSM) decision, agents’ preferences were often given in the form of exact values of ordinal numbers and linguistic phrase term sets. Nowdays, the matching agent cannot perform the exact evaluation in the TSM situations due to the great fuzziness of human thought and the complexity of reality. Probability hesitant fuzzy sets, however, have grown in popularity due to their advantages in communicating complex information. Therefore, this paper develops a TSM decision-making approach with multi-attribute probability hesitant fuzzy sets and unknown attribute weight information. The agent attribute weight vector should be obtained by using the… More >

Abstract In many problems, to analyze the process/metabolism behavior, a model of the system is identified. The main gap is the weakness of current methods vs. noisy environments. The primary objective of this study is to present a more robust method against uncertainties. This paper proposes a new deep learning scheme for modeling and identification applications. The suggested approach is based on non-singleton type-3 fuzzy logic systems (NT3-FLSs) that can support measurement errors and high-level uncertainties. Besides the rule optimization, the antecedent parameters and the level of secondary memberships are also adjusted by the suggested square root cubature Kalman filter (SCKF).… More >

Abstract The software engineering field has long focused on creating high-quality software despite limited resources. Detecting defects before the testing stage of software development can enable quality assurance engineers to concentrate on problematic modules rather than all the modules. This approach can enhance the quality of the final product while lowering development costs. Identifying defective modules early on can allow for early corrections and ensure the timely delivery of a high-quality product that satisfies customers and instills greater confidence in the development team. This process is known as software defect prediction, and it can improve end-product quality while reducing the cost… More >
