This paper studies and proposes a new set of ACOR (Ant Colony optimization for Real domains) algorithms dedicated to electromagnetic problems. The adaptive ACOR adjust their parameters during the iterative process in order to control how the exploration and exploitation are involved and performed in the global optimum search. The strategy is to smoothly alternate between exploration and exploitation, with the first one predominant in the initial stages of the algorithms and the second towards the end. Though the proposed algorithms can be applied to any kind of optimization problem they are tuned and their efficiency is proven on an electromagnetic benchmark problem, namely Loney’s solenoid.

The research carried out aims at reducing the exploitation costs in case of very high power transformers which operate in the power system. Active and reactive electrical energy losses are high in these transformers and, taking into account their long duration of operation, there result very high exploitation costs. That is why, this paper shows that an optimal design of this transformer, taking also into account the imposed restrictive conditions (gauge dimensions, short-circuit voltage), can substantially reduce this cost. For example, in case of the transformer rated at 250 MVA, optimally designed, the exploitation cost was reduced by $Delta$ce= 14.319%= 1539000$epsilon$, as against the existing transformer. The simulations carried out and presented justify the optimum constructive solution, proposed.
本研究旨在降低大功率变压器在电力系统中运行时的开发成本。这些变压器的有功和无功电能损耗很高，考虑到它们的长时间运行，其开发成本非常高。这就是为什么，本文表明，考虑到所施加的限制条件(仪表尺寸，短路电压)，该变压器的优化设计可以大大降低这一成本。以额定250mva的变压器为例，优化设计后，开发成本降低$Delta$ ce= 14.319%= 1539000$epsilon$, as against the existing transformer. The simulations carried out and presented justify the optimum constructive solution, proposed.

The aim of the paper is to show the possibility of using electrostatic technologies for the recovery of non-ferrous metals from the non-conductive fraction obtained in the recycling process of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Prior to electrostatic separation, the material undergoes in-situ operations such as size reduction and dust and light component removal. Two granular mixtures of the same material are obtained, a coarse fraction (3.15-6) mm that contains metals, plastics and doesn’t contain any glass and a fine fraction (0-3.15) mm containing metals, plastics and a significant amount of glass. The granular mixtures are then separated using a laboratory version of a conventional roll-type corona-electrostatic separator with an extended charging zone. The virtually pure conductive fraction recovered from the mixtures makes up 4.34% of the initial material and is composed of mainly copper and brass $(gt70$%), along with nickel, zinc, tin, and lead in lower quantities.

Internet of Things concept has brought us many sensors application possibilities that aim to make our lives better. The IoT concept entail the use of low-power, low-cost, long-range sensors that can collect data from the environment and send it to the user application using wireless link, for maximum mobility. In this paper we evaluate and compare a couple of the market available LPWAN solutions, trough the energy efficiency perspective. Although LPWAN implies low-power devices, some of the modules used in the experimental setup need a high current burst, making them inefficient if the power supply is not properly sized. Thus, the main contribution of this paper is the energy efficiency analysis of the main existing IoT technologies like LoRa or SigFox. From the obtained results one may conclude that some modules can transmit using high current peaks for short period of time while others can transmit low current peaks for long period of time, being useful only for specific monitoring applications.

The current pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has affected all sectors of activity through quarantine measures imposed to stop the spread of the disease. In the absence of safe treatment, social distancing and wearing a face mask are the only weapons to combat this pandemic. Unfortunately, social distance has led to the migration of education to a distance format reducing the interaction between teachers and students. Even if, through the vaccination process, the spread of COVID19 disease will be slowed down, the physical return to schools and universities will be done under the sign of social distancing and health precautions. This article proposes a simple and low-cost solution for monitoring the density of people in a room by monitoring WiFi traffic. Because the solution can be implemented on a large scale, it is suitable for implementation as a centralized monitoring and warning solution at school or university campus level.

This work comes to the aid of free ride skiers as well as people traveling through the mountains. It can help them know if they are exposed to an avalanche. Our system can detect an avalanche in its infancy or offer the possibility to find out if in that area, under the action of an external mechanical force such as the passage of a skier, snowboarder, a group of people or another force (e.g. pressure caused by waves sound) is likely to trigger an avalanche. The system is designed to send a text message to the mountain rescuer or the competent authorities with GPS coordinates. The system is implemented on a ski stick so that it can be accessible to any skier and not have to take other devices or utensils with him. Further development of our system is mentioned in the last chapter of this article.

The paper is concerned with experimental and numerical investigations of the flow around an immersed broad-crested weir with different cavities, in the presence of free surface. The numerics are performed with the Fluent code using the RNG $k-varepsilon$ turbulence model coupled with VOF for the computation of the free surface. The numerical results and visualizations are corroborated with the aim to investigate the interaction between the free surface profile and the wake developed in the cavities of the broad-crested weir.

This paper presents a numerical model of an electronic chip that heats up and dilates during normal functioning conditions. The model is based on a CAD generated computational domain, comprised of the silicon processor (the intermittent heat flux source), the embedding chip volume, the electrical contacts soldered to a PCB (printed circuit board), and a secondary, constant, heat source represented by a voltage regulator. The system is actively cooled by the surrounding air at room temperature. During its service, the ensemble heats up generating thermal stress that acts differently upon the electrical and electronic components, deforming them by their mechanical properties, geometry, and PCB placement.

Sense amplifiers plays a significant role in terms of its recital, functionality and reliability of the memory circuits. In this paper two new circuits have been proposed. The proposed circuit is PMOS biased sense amplifier, which provides very high output impedance and has reduced sense delay and power dissipation. As such, the proposed circuit performs the identical operations as that of conventional circuits but with the reduced the sense delay and power consumption. The suggested sense amplifiers overall performance have been simulated and examined using Cadence virtuoso with gpdk 180 nm library parameters.

Image denoising is an actively researched topic and a multitude of methods have been proposed for this task, including techniques based on mathematical morphology, which is a popular non-linear processing framework developed for binary and grayscale images, based on imposing a lattice structure on the image data. There is no universally accepted extension to the color and multivariate domain and multiple approaches have been developed. Pseudo-morphological operators do not respect all the theoretical properties of classical morphology, but can be successfully used in a variety of applications. In this paper, we present an extension to the Probabilistic Pseudo-Morphology framework by including third-order statistics in the definition of the pseudo-extrema. The approach shows improved performance in the context of a real-world image denoising application in comparison with other color morphological frameworks.
