In spite of advances in electrical and computer engineering, the issue of blackouts in the power grid has not been solved. A new method is proposed to alleviate transmission line overloads, created by the outage of a single transmission line. An overloaded transmission line may trip, causing power to be redistributed to other transmission lines, which may get overloaded themselves. This may lead to cascading outages, destabilization, and blackouts. The proposed new method uses the PSS®E to shed load from specific buses and to reduces power output of specific generators. The method was applied to the IEEE 39-bus power system using additional softwares Python, and Excel. All 34 transmission lines were disconnected individually and transmission lines were monitored for overcurrents. The proposed method for reducing loads and generation was found to successfully remove overloads of transmission lines, ensuring stability and continuity of power. The method was found to be effective for power system protection. The method may not be optimal, but may be practical for implementation.

The thermal comfort for children and adults inside the car is a crucial issue to improve as the hot environmental conditions can be irritable and uncomfortable. Being inside an extremely hot car for a prolonged time can lead to major health problems. This paper focuses on the thermal comfort of infants. Traditionally air conditioning systems are used to cool down an infant car seat which is not effective due to the portability and cooling duration. In this paper, heat relief for the child is researched using a thermoelectric cooling system. This paper reviews various factors concerning the development of a temperature-controlled infant car seat. This study focuses on the health and safety of children inside the cars, the subjective needs of the parent, heat management in the car cabin environment, thermoelectric modeling, and the methods for precise temperature control for effective thermoelectric cooling. In-depth research has been conducted on the contributions of other researchers on the thermoelectric cooling system in a car. The thermoelectric device in the infant car seat was tested in thermal simulation.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of Ripple Correlation Control (RCC) with conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods such as Perturb & Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (IC). Photovoltaic (PV) array along with the buck converter and its MPPT control have been simulated for all three MPPT methods at different solar radiation levels. From the simulation results, it can be observed that P&O is much affected with slow tracking and oscillations, and IC MPPT performs better than P&O in terms of tracking, but not for ripples. Simulation results verifies that RCC MPPT is capable of solving both these problems effectively and RCC performance is better than both P&O and IC MPPT methods.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), congestion is one of the challenging issues. It degrades the network’s performance in various operating variables such as throughput, latency, energy consumption, packet loss, lifetime of the network and etc. Congestion occurs in WSN when the rate of sensor data flow outreach the channel or buffer capacity. The congestion is controlled in two ways in WSN, such as controlling network traffic or efficiently managing the resources. This paper performs the resource control mechanism by providing the alternative path towards to base station using a Q-learning for congestion alleviation. This congestion-aware data acquisition (CADA) mechanism initially identifies the congestion node (CN) where the nodes buffer occupancy ratio is higher. Further, we recognize the proper next node to construct the dynamic alternative route to the base station. The CADA is evaluated in various network conditions by comparing it with recent congestion-aware algorithms. The simulation tests show that the CADA efficiently ameliorates the congestion and enhances the performance across multiple performance metrics.

Optimum ecological conditions are essential for ideal plant growth and improve harvest yields. Some crops grow better in low-intensity sunlight and suffer from sunburn damages due to excessive sunlight. As such, these types of harvests are required to be cultivated under shades. This paper describes the design of an automated agro shading incorporating FRDM-K64F MCU with several control options that will free the farmers from constantly surveilling the corps for proper sunlight intensity. In this approach, there are multiple input methods to change the state of the shade flaps, including physical and automatic control via a developed android app for smartphones. Additionally, full automation can be turned on through Bluetooth connection to regulate the cover automatically based on the magnitude of the incoming sunlight in any given area. Thus, the shading mechanism can provide an optimal lux environment. For improving the yield of agricultural plants with nutritious values, the presented module will revolutionize agricultural automation – offering a cost-effective multi-controlled shading approach to solve farming issues regarding photosynthesis and weather conditions.

This work reports the optical and electrical characteristics of n- Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/p-Si based heterojunction diodes. MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) based thin film synthesized on the p-Si substrate by facile-colloidal synthesis process followed by the spin coating. The optical properties of MoS2 thin film have investigated by excitation dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra and UV–Vis absorption spectra. Absorption spectra show only one peak in the near-UV region with a wavelength of < 300 nm which is typical exciton characteristics of MoS2 QDs. The excitation dependent PL spectra show a redshift in peak wavelength with an increase in the excitation wavelength from 360 nm to 480 nm. The electrical characteristics are determined by room temperature current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics. The value of barrier height (φB) and ideality factor (η) from I-V is calculated as 0.23 eV and 1.95 with a good current rectification ratio of 7480 at ±2 V.

Learning the underlying structure between processes is a common problem found in the sciences, however not much work is dedicated towards this problem. In this paper, we attempt to use the language of structure learning to address learning the dynamic influence network between partially observable processes represented as hidden Markov models (HMMs). The importance of learning an influence network is for knowledge discovery and to improve density estimation in temporal distributions. We learn the dynamic influence network, defined by this paper, by first learning the optimal distribution for each process using hidden Markov models, and thereafter apply redefined structure learning algorithms for temporal models to reveal influence relationships. This paper provides the following contributions: we (a) provide a definition of influence between stochastic processes represented by HMMs; and (b) expand on the conventional structure learning literature by providing a structure score and learning procedure to learn influence relationships between HMMs. We provide empirical evidence of the effectiveness of our method over several baselines.

Precipitation plays a highly significant part in the hydrological cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the freshwater on earth. It can also impact the climate ecosystem. Considerable work has been performed to understand, model and predict precipitation. However, to the best of our knowledge, hardly any interactive visualizations exist that allow end-users to obtain a better perception of local impacts; also there are no specific apps for this purpose. The two goals of our work are thus: to design a visualization tool that illustrates changes in precipitation in a given time period with analysis; and to design a mobile application (app) that displays Sub-Saharan precipitation patterns, both using big data. This work would be advantageous to environmental scientists, as well as local residents of the respective areas. It would also be beneficial to students interested in conducting climate-based research. It addresses the theme of IoT (Internet of Things) which involves providing ubiquitous access to Internet-Based information on platforms such as smartphones and other mobile devices.
