ABSTRACT Lumbar disc degenerative disc disease with back pain and its severity is a leading health issue in society and MRI is the best modality to detect the severity and degree of disc degeneration. The most critical component of degenerative disc disease deals with triggering rapid action for real-time-based system identification. The input is obtained from the non-invasive device called finger pulse plethysmography to assess the stiffness and its correlation with body composition in lumbar disc degeneration. The recent methodology contributions aim at predicting the stiffness which uses pulse wave velocity and reflection on signal features. As the signals are very sensitive to differences between high and low ranges, finger pulse plethysmography effectively detects irregularities at early stages. Based on the severity of degeneration, shown by the MRI report, subjects were grouped into the disc bulging group (DBG) and the nerve compression group (NCG). The supervised features help in training the signals to correct the limitations of prediction. Finally, the Radial Basis Function neural network approach helps in diminishing the local minimal values in the signal. It helps in the effective categorization of anomalous and ordinary stiffness index measurements for lumbar disc degeneration.

Cryptography field, which enables secure communication between civilians, governmental organizations, military forces, and many more, addresses security, confidentiality, and integrity of information being conveyed regardless of the medium used. Protection of priceless information resources on intranets, the Internet, and the cloud has become a vital demand of contemporary electronic security systems. In this paper, we deploy homomorphic data encryption (HDE) technique on Bipolar-valued Fuzzy Sub-Bigroups (BVFSB). Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets were presented by Atanassov in 1986, as a modification of Fuzzy Sets, by taking into consideration the grade of membership value and non-membership value for each element in the universe. A fuzzy algebraic structure known as Bipolar-valued Fuzzy sub-bigroup of a bigroup has been established by applying the concept of bipolar-valued Fuzzy sets to bigroups. Some of the theorems related to homomorphism and anti-homomorphism, are stated and proved.

In recent years, many researchers and software industries have given significant attention to the estimation of software effort. Software effort estimation is a challenge that often appears in the project of making software. To address this issue, various software expansion cost estimations have been familiarized. A basic traditional method for cost estimation is the Constructive Cost Model II (COCOMO II Model), which generates huge gradations of substantiality. The proposed COCOMO II model employs cost drivers, measures and the streak of programmes to predict the energy and the growth period of a web rise. However, the model is still lacking in terms of accuracy in effort and development time estimation. In this study, we do investigate the influence of components and attributes to achieve new better accuracy improvement on the COCOMO II model. The NASA93 dataset is used to test the suggested methodology. The system has outperformed earlier investigations and arrangements capable of imperfect data input, and further advancements in the reliability of the estimated technique.

Stock market movements, stocks, and exchange rates are the primary subjects and active areas of research for analysts and researchers. The stock prices is being influenced by financial news, which has been demonstrated to be an important element in fluctuating stock prices. Furthermore, previous research mostly evaluated shallow characteristics and ignored functional relationships between words in a sentence. Many studies have attempted to analyse the sentiment of investors’ reactions to corresponding news occurrences. In this paper, we proposed a unique methodology for predicting the stock prices trend by using both stock features and financial news. The proposed methodology is the hybrid Recurrent Neural-Network (HyRNN) architecture. This design includes Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) on top of the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and stacked Long Short-Term Memory (sLSTM). The performance of HyRNN for forecasting stock price can be considerably improved by mixing the sentiments of financial news with the features of stock as an input to the model. In comparison to earlier statistical models, the suggested model increases the analysing capability of GRU, LSTM, RNN, and proposed models independently. The findings of this study shows the deep learning (DL) approach has high potential for predicting stock price changes.

Antenna design is usually done on FR4 substrates, since they have a dielectric constant of 4.4, and a loss tangent of 0.02. The proposed microstrip patch antenna operates at 28 GHz and incorporates substrate-integrated waveguides (SIW) in a 0.8 mm thick FR4 substrate into the design to increase bandwidth performance so that the 5G network can function reliably. In comparison with conventional patch antennas, substrate-integrated waveguides bear the advantage of being able to shift to a frequency of 29 GHz, therefore resulting in a more effective antenna. A slot of eyebolt shape has been added to the patch to increase antenna gain. The design was simulated with HFSS software, and it was able to attain a maximum bandwidth of 8 GHz (28%), a gain of 5.5 dB, and a minimal return loss of −38 dB. The VSWR of this antenna is 1.02, which indicates good impedance matching, and a high efficiency of 87% has been achieved as a result. This is a low-profile antenna that combines enhanced bandwidth with the ability to be mounted at the edge of a device, making it an ideal choice for the use of 5G technology to enable machine-to-machine communication.

In this paper, the adaptive robust fault-tolerant control problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems with parameter uncertainty, disturbances and actuator failures is concerned based on event-triggered control strategy. The adaptive laws based on state-dependent switched strategy are designed to eliminate the effects of actuator faults and parameter uncertainties by using the estimations of the unknown upper bounds of uncertain parameters. Then, the robust fault-tolerant technique and multiple Lyapunov functions method are used, the designed controller can guarantee that all signals of the switched closed-loop systems are uniformly bounded. Meanwhile, the desired performance of the systems is promised. Finally, the simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is recognized as an effective method to improve vehicle safety and reduce driver workload. This paper proposes a whole hierarchical multi-level state ACC system. According to the function of ACC system, the three-level state ACC system is designed and the conversion mechanism between different states is put forward. As for the complex car-following mode, considering the variable headway safety distance and the road adhesion coefficient, the expected safety distance model is established, using the distance error and the speed error as fuzzy input, based on the fuzzy control algorithm, the following mode is obtained; considering vehicle safety, tracking capability and ride comfort, the control objectives are formulated into the model predictive control algorithm. A dynamic weight strategy is proposed to solve time-varying multi-objective control problems, where the weight can be adjusted with respect to different following conditions. The simulation results demonstrate that the car following performance of ACC with the proposed dynamic weighted MPC can provide better performance than that using constant weight MPC, and the multi-level state ACC system can display the control mode more intuitively.

In this study a novel drive for the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM), powered by the solar photo voltaic (SPV) source, using a Partial Resonant Inverter (PRI) followed by a Doubler Rectifier (DR) for water pumping applications, has been proposed and validated. The PRI DR combination offers a large voltage gain that is required while using low-voltage SPV sources. The PRI increases the voltage level by resonance and also it exhibits zero voltage switching so that the switching losses are reduced. The proposed system also offers a sliding mode controller based on Maximum PowerPoint Tracking implemented in the PRI. The proposed system is a fixed torque variable speed application where the speed follows the solar irradiance. The proposed idea has been validated using simulations and experimental prototypes.

This paper presents the implementation for the first time of a Multi-Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm in the tuning of a PID controller for Power Factor Correction (PFC), applied to a 100W AC-DC boost converter. MPSO algorithm navigates in a search space where each dimension of the space corresponds to the controller constants (Proportional, Integral, Derivative and the Derivative Filter), prioritizing communication over exploration in the algorithm. The controller parameters are randomly initialized in a reduced sector of the space [ , , , ], to optimize the search for a PID solution. In the first step, the algorithm is validated using a simulation model in Simulink and Matlab. Subsequently, a final implementation using a real converter is implemented with the PID tuned by MPSO, improving the PFC obtained in previous work. Although previous works have used evolutionary algorithms applied to heuristic optimization to tunning PID controllers, the MPSO algorithm is not usually used for this purpose, particularly to tunning a PID controller in a power electronics system. One advantage of MPSO over the PSO classical algorithm is the search at different points if the vectorial field looks for an optimal solution. PSO presents problems such as getting stuck in a locally optimal solution. The PID controller is trained offline, with the advantage of allowing the risk of damage in the Boost converter for transitory response, increasing the performance of the Power Factor Correction in the converter. This research opens the possibility to use the extended version of the PSO bioinspired algorithm to tune offline controllers to improve the power converter's performance, minimizing the risk presented in the real-time tuning process.

In this work, we propose a flexible 1D DCT hardware design with a constant throughput of 32 pixels per cycle for all transform block (TB) size modes. The design supports all TB sizes defined in the HEVC standard. Flexibility is achieved by multiplexing only the outputs, which results in lower data path delays compared to other proposed designs. Also, the additional partial butterfly units are transferred to the output of transformation cores. The transformation operation is done in a single stage to minimize the latency of the design and reduce hardware usage. The highly parallel input reduces the need for a very high operational frequency, which is suitable for low-power FPGA designs. Four different reusable transformation cores are used that are designed using parallel Multiple Constant Multiplication (MCM) units to further reduce the calculation time. The design was implemented on the Virtex UltraScale + device. The implementation has hardware usage of 21,818 LUTs, and it can reach the maximal throughput of 4.90 Gsps at the working frequency of 153 MHz which is enough to support the video resolutions of up to 8192 × 4320@60fps. Comparison with the other works shows that DCT FPGA implementation without DSPs can reach the performance of the ASICs with trade-offs in power consumption.

Comparison with the other works shows that DCT FPGA implementation without DSPs can reach the performance of the ASICs with trade-offs in power consumption.","PeriodicalId":55412,"journal":{"name":"Automatika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41787316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
