Modified AES for Text and Image Encryption

10.11591/ijeecs.v11.i3.pp942-948
Heidilyn V. Gamido , Ariel M. Sison , Ruji P. Medina
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the most frequently used encryption algorithms. In the study, the Advanced Encryption Standard is modified to address its high computational requirement due to the complex mathematical operations in MixColumns Transformation making the encryption process slow. The modified AES used Bit Permutation to replace the MixColumns Transformation in AES since bit permutation is easy to implement and it does not have any complex mathematical computation. Results of the study show that the modified AES algorithm exhibited increased efficiency due to the faster encryption time and reduced CPU usage. The modified AES algorithm also yielded higher avalanche effect which improved the performance of the algorithm.

Experimental Analysis of Simplified Rules Fuzzy Logic Speed Controller for Wide Speed Range Operations

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i3.pp1090-1097
Md Hairul Nizam Talib , Z. Ibrahim , Z. Rasin , J.Mat Lazi , M. Azri , N.S.Y. Farah
This paper presents the experimental analysis of simplified rules Fuzzy Logic Speed Controller (FLSC) of Induction Motor drive. The maximum gain of input scaling factor, FLSC is generally limited by the coverage of universe of discoursed (UoD). Thus, to further increase the input gain scaling factor, the outer membership function need to be increased.  This analysis covers various values in the range of UoD values from [-1,1] to [-5,5] for the wide speed range operations from low to rated speed ranges. The FLSC is employed to the indirect Field Oriented Control method fed by a voltage source inverter. Simulation and experimental verification is done by using Matlab/Simulink and dSPACE 1103 controller experimental rigs respectively. Based on the results, speed performance behaviours are improved over the wide speed range operations in term of rise time and setting time. The tuning approached is simple without additional algorithm for faster and more accurate response.

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i3.pp987-996
Rini Nur Hasanah , Yosi Dwi Handari , Soeprapto Soeprapto , Taufik Taufik
This paper describes the design of an LED lamp to be used in a DC house being supplied using a renewable energy source or in a DC Smart Grid. LED lamps are widely known for its low-electricity consumption. The DC house application is becoming more and more popular due to its advantage of using DC generated electricity, for example from a solar photovoltaic system, directly without having to invert it into AC voltage. However, LED needs a driver to activate and control it. Its mounting also needs certain precaution to anticipate the high heat from the LED. An appropriate heatsink is required before activating the LED. The laboratory results indicate that a 3-watt LED bulb lamp can produce an efficiency up to 93.16% with luminous efficacy 82.29 lm/W. These results prove that an LED bulb consumes less energy and can give an optimal brightness.

It is important to develop a critical perspective in terms of interpreting the messages to be given to the individuals through media and questioning the authenticity and content of these messages. It is therefore necessary to train the individuals called media literate who can critically perceive and evaluate the information conveyed through the media to increase the positive effects of the media and to reduce their negative effects as much as possible. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of the pre-service teachers’ critical thinking disposition on their media literacy. The study employed the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. In order to collect data, a personal information form, the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale, and the Media Literacy Level Determination Scale were used as the data collection tools. As a result of the study, the critical thinking disposition of the pre-service teachers was found to be medium and their media literacy was found to be high. The critical thinking disposition was found to be varying significantly depending on their gender and grade level; their media literacy was found to be varying depending on grade level but not on gender. There is a positive but low relationship between critical thinking disposition and media literacy and critical thinking is a significant predictor of media literacy.

Hybrid-modulation-based control technique for reduction of output voltage ripples in frequency-modulated switch-mode power converters

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i3.pp1272-1284
Deniss Stepins , Jin Huang , Janis Audze
In this paper a novel control technique for switching-frequency-modulated switch-mode power converters (SMPC) operating in discontinuous conduction mode is proposed. The use of the technique leads to significant reduction in peak-to-peak output voltage and peak currents increased due to straightforward application of switching frequency modulation (SFM). The technique is based on hybrid modulation scheme in which both switching frequency and duty ratio are modulated simultaneously by the same modulation signal. Theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the proposed technique are presented in details. Both computer simulations and experiments show that switching-frequency-modulated SMPC with the proposed control technique in comparison to SMPC without SFM has appreaciably lower conducted electromagnetic emissions, at the cost of slightly increased peak-to-peak output voltage and peak currents.

This paper presents a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) interface for delivering both active and reactive powers. The PV interface employs H-bridge topology DC-DC converter and inverter with analog control technology. The power flow is controlled solely by the adjustable DC output voltage of the DC to DC converter. In order to evaluate the PV interface system’s performances, it is tested by delivering power to the grid with low pawer factor. The experimental results show that at 300W active load, the inverter could deliver the reactive power of 400VAR. The PV interface could also produce very low harmonic voltage and current distorsions. The laboratory measurements show that the total harmonic distortions of inverter output voltage and current are 0.46% and 0.05%, respectively
