Muh Zia ul Haq , Suharjito Suharjito
The use of Business Intelligence for Small-Mid Enterprise (SME) no longer impeded by the size of the resources required. The study in this paper provides an overview of how the use of proposed software can be used as an effective and efficient alternative solution in building BI Tools combined with table virtualization utilization in SQL. To know the level of usability and suitability of the developed BI Tool, the researcher conducted evaluation and analyzation using 2 (two) tools (Heuristics Evaluation and UMUX-Lite). The result found the comparison between the output (Business Intelligence Tool) produced by PHP Report Maker has a better level of usability and suitability than its competitors. Although both are in a decent median, the output needs preferences and customizations to achieve maximum functionality like well-known other development software.

The energy costs of a power plant consist of startup cost and cost of power usage. In contrast to the existing literature, this study introduces at startup cost based on the duration of thermal power plant downtime. The approach of startup cost function in this research is done by using startup type. Startup of a steam power plant depends on its condition. Generally, there are three types of startup the power plant when the turbine temperature is still very high, i.e. hot start, very hot start and very-very hot start. This paper uses multistage optimization to solve the problem of hydrothermal scheduling with including the startup type cost in the objective function. The simulation results showed operating cost savings when the objective function for optimization also consider the cost based on startup type i.e. when compared with the optimization result which the objective function does not take the cost of startup type.

A Study of Superconducting Transformer with Short-Circuit Current Limitation

10.11591/ijece.v8i1.pp505-512
V.Z. Manusov , D.A. Pavlyuchenko , J.S. Ahyoev
The paper presents physico-mathematical models for analyzing transient processes in electrical networks having transformers with a high temperature superconducting winding. One of the main purposes of the study is the investigation of the short circuit current limitation process with the use of a transformer with a high temperature superconducting winding, that allows the combination of two series-connected elements, transformer and reactor, in one device. The efficiency of this method for short circuit current limitation is provided by the fact that the critical value of superconducting winding temperature is exceeded under short circuit current flowing, then it passes into the normal state with a high impedance winding, thus limiting a short circuit current. It is important to know the moment when superconducting material passes into the normal state with the loss of superconductivity. For this purpose, the program for calculating the quantity of heat under short circuit current flowing before its interruption was developed. If a 40 MVA transformer with a high temperature superconducting winding is considered, short circuit should be cleared after 100 ms without transformer disconnection. It is proposed to use a hybrid winding in addition to the main winding for short circuit current limitation. Conducted investigations showed that the return of a winding into the superconducting state depends primarily on the ratio between a short circuit current and a rated load current. This represents the criterion for returning or not returning into the superconducting state for transformer windings.

In this work, a set of experiments has been conducted using arc discharge Methane decomposition attempting to obtain carbonaceous materials (C-strands) formed between graphite electrodes. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the fabricated C-strands have been investigated in the presence and absence of two different gases, NO2 and CO2. The results reveal that the current passing through the carbon films increases when the concentrations of gases are increased from 200 to 800 ppm. This phenomenon is a result of conductance changes and can be employed in sensing applications such as gas sensors.

The Locator Framework for Detecting Movement Indoors

10.12928/telkomnika.v16i1.7393
Kevin; Ulster University Curran
There are many advantages to being able to track in real-time the movement of things or humans. This is especially important in tracking goods in the supply chain, in security and also in health and safety. The Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system works well in outdoor environments but it cannot track items indoors. There is also the problem of power hungry sensor chips inherent in some GPS trackers. Mobile Cellular triangulation also works well for many outdoor solutions but problems with cost, accuracy and reliability make it difficult to deploy for indoor tracking scenarions. The levels of accuracy can vary by up to 50 meters which hinder its ability for adoption in many use case scenarios. There are also problems with poor cellular coverage in rural areas. Solutions built on WiFi–the IEEE 802.11 standard overcome many of these issues. WiFi location tracking works via sampling of the received signal strength (RSS) which along with triangulation and prior mapping allows systems to locate items or humans with fine-granularity. This WiFi fingerprinting is a viable cost-effective approach to determining movement within indoor enviroments. This paper presents an overview of popular techniques and off-the-shelf solutions which can be used to determine movement of people and objects indoors. We outline the Locator frameworks which is built on both active and passive indoor localisation techniques for tracking movement within indoor environments.

Nonlinear (NL) method is the most effective bias correction method for correcting statistical bias when observation precipitation data can not be approximated using gamma distribution. Since NL method only adjusts mean and variance, it does not perform well in handling bias on quantile values. This paperpresents a scheme of NL method with additional condition aiming to mitigate bias on quantile values. Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) was applied to estimate parameter of NL method. Furthermore, to investigate suitability of application of NSGA-II, we performed Single Objective Genetic Algorithm (SOGA) as a comparison. The experiment results revealed NSGA-II was suitable when solution of SOGA produced low fitness. Application of NSGA-II could minimize impact of daily bias correction on monthly precipitation. The proposed scheme successfully reduced biases on mean, variance, first and second quantile However, biases on third and fourth moment could not be handled robustly while biases on third quantile only reduced during dry months.

This work presents a broadband tapered balun with different sizes using nonlinear transition particularly suitable for planar and three-dimensional (3-D) dipole antennas for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications such as communication, radar systems and geolocation precision. Four baluns with wideband microstrip-to-parallel-strip transition using an elliptical structure for an elliptical dipole antenna are proposed. The initial balun structure consists of a nonlinear profile with a quarter-wavelength for both height and width. By studying the current distributions at the balun surface, it can be reduced to 25%, 50% and 75% from the original size. Measured results based on the reflection coefficients for all baluns are shown to be better than -10 dB from 1.0 GHz to 10 GHz. These baluns are integrated with an elliptical dipole which acts as a feeding circuit. Eight set of antennas with a planar and 3-D configurations with four different sizes are proposed in this work. The planar configurations are named as Planar 1, Planar 2, Planar 3 and Planar 4 while the 3-D configurations are named as 3D Dipole 1, 3D Dipole 2, 3D Dipole 3 and 3D Dipole 4, respectively. The results show that all antennas with the proposed baluns operates within the UWB frequency range.

R.; Sathyabama University Jayashree , A.; Sathyabama University Christy
E-learning is one of the information and communication technology products used for teaching and learning process [35]. An efficient and effective way to construct trust relationship among peer users in e-learning environment is ranking. User-driven ranking systems are based only on the feedback or rating provided by the users. In [46-48] the authors provide a variety of trust and reputation methods. Certified Belief in Strength (CBS) [45] is a novel trust measurement method based on reputation and strength. In [38] author presents a recommendation system based on the relevant feedback review to predict the user's interests, that are ranked based on the recommendations history they provide previously. Users with higher rating obtain high reputation compared to less scored users. In question answering websites like StackOverflow, new or low scored users are ignored by the community. This discourage them and their involvement with the community reduces further down, as power law states, alleged low users are pushed to the bottom of the ranking list. Avoid this condition by encouraging less reputed users and prevent them from moving further down in ranking level. Thus, low reputed users are provided with few more chances to participate actively in the e-learning environments. A splay tree is a Binary Search Tree with self-balancing skill. The splay tree brings the recently accessed item to the top of the tree, thus active users are always on the top of the tree. A splay tree is used to represent user's ranks, and to semi-splay low ranked users again in the tree thus preventing them from further drowning in the ranking list. The focus of this research work is to find and enhance low reputed users in reputation system by providing few more chances to take part actively in the e-learning environment using the splay tree. Normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG) acts as a decision part for identifying drowning users.

This paper proposes a novel compact band-stop filter based on Rectangular SRR unit cell. The BSF structure consists of modified microstrip line connected to 50 Ω feed line on both sides and Rectangular-SRR which has been added and located in the center of the proposed design. The R-SRR dimensions are chosen and optimized in order to achieve a resonant frequency in the undesired band. This filter is designed, simulated and optimized using two electromagnetic solvers. The circuit performances have been investigated and found to have an excellent BSF characterized by high power rejection level in the stop-band, low insertion loss in the both pass-bands and compact size. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed BSF achieves a wide fractional bandwidth of 72 % at 2.2GHz.
