Ali Abd Almisreb , Nooritawati Md Tahir , Ahmad Farid Abidin , Norashidah Md Din
The articulation of Arabic phonemes is essential for the Malay community since Arabic language is mandatory to perform worship. Hence, in this paper, an acoustical analysis of Arabic phonemes for vowels /u/ and /u:/ is discussed based on tokens pronounced by Malay speakers. The experimental results showed that the Malay speakers are inclined to utter these Arabic phonemes similar to the native speakers and it was also found from the analysis that the vowel /u/ and /u: was articulated as high-back vowels. Conversely, the vowel /u/ was located lower than /u:/ as in the vowel-space. Alternatively results also showed that /u/ and /u:/  is higher than the other vowels specifically /a/ and /a:/. In addition, the statistical analysis showed that the formant frequencies of both short and long dummah for formant frequency F1, F2 and F3 have more variation in terms of /u/ as compare to /u:/. In contrast formant frequency F4 and F5 are more diversity in terms of /u:/.

10.11591/ijeecs.v11.i1.pp386-399
Vamshi Krishna Varma Kshatriya , Ram Kumar A
An exigent consumer related concerns confronted due to utilization of massive front-end AC-DC rectifier in a grid-tied BLDC pumping system. Harmonic distortions are acquired, which prompts the disruption of power quality at utility grid system due to AC-DC conversion. Several factors for enhancing power-quality concerns are ameliorate the grid power-factor along with reduction of harmonic distortions, tightened regulation of DC output voltage. In this way, the DC-DC boost converter plays a unique role; operated in Continuous Conduction Mode. Based on summarizing advantages & disadvantages of classical DC-DC converters, a single switch high voltage gain M-SEPIC DC-DC converter is more suggestive for water pumping system due to non-existence of coupled inductors, low switching loss, low di/dt stress, high efficiency, compact structure, low cost, etc. This work proposes the novel M-SEPIC DC-DC converter fed brushless-DC motor drive is controlled by voltage source inverter and powered by single-phase grid system with improved power-quality features. Moreover, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System is recommended for prediction of optimal switching states to amplify the BLDC motor speed and torque-ripple depreciation. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated under constant speed situations by real-time operating conditions which are evaluated by Matlab /Simulink tool; and simulation results are conferred with attractive comparisons.

A Novel and Innovative Approach for Image Steganography with Chaos

10.11591/ijeecs.v11.i1.pp263-267
Krishnaveni N , Sudhakar P
Steganography is the art/technique of hiding message data inside a carrier file in such a way that unauthorized or unsolicited personnel is not capable of detecting the presence of data inside the carrier file. The Proposed Method provides improved security and improved high embedding capacity image steganography through the usage of Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) and Chaotic Logistic map. Least Significant Bit technique is used to replace the bits in the coefficient of detail band. The proposed method offers lossless and unnoticeable change in the image steganography. In this paper we focus on both cryptography and steganography for better confidentiality, security and robustness. We find that the proposed algorithm has a better CMPSNR (Chaotic Logistic mapping) value averaging close to 74 after embedding the secret data, while the existing algorithms have values of around 65.

Yuvarani Chandrasekaran , Vijayalakshmi C
This paper investigates a multistage batch arrival queue with different server interruptions and a second server replaces the main server during the interruptions. The different server interruptions are assumed to be: multiple vacation, extended vacation, breakdown with delay time and server under two phases of repair. Customers are assumed to arrive in batches according to Poisson process and a single server provides service to the customers. When the main server is inactive due to the interruptions, stand-by server provide service to the arrivals. In addition, customers may renege during server breakdown or during server vacation due to impatience. Transient solution and the corresponding steady state solution is derived using supplementary variable technique.

The morphological, structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO nanorods are investigated as a function of deposition temperature. The ZnO nanorods were grown on ZnO seed catalyst layer at temperatures between 750oC – 825oC using thermal chemical vapour deposition method.  Sample deposited at 825oC showed the highest crystalline orientation. The FE-SEM micrographs and the intense peak along (002) direction in the XRD spectra of this sample implied that the nanorods possess c-axis orientation. PL spectra showed two common ZnO peaks which centered at 380 nm and 540 nm. Two-point probe I-V measurement revealed ohmic behaviour with the gold metal contact, whereby the current increase with the deposition temperature.

Lightning strikes affect the building structures by producing high electric field on the surface and around the building structure. Lightning air terminal is a traditional enemy of the thunder storm as it captures the lightning flashes. Effect of lightning flash on the building structure when the lightning air terminal was not installed and when it was installed on different building structure was studied in this paper.  Similarly most of the time Lightning Air Terminal (LAT) bypasses take palce on different building structures and thus a lot of building structures get damage. The phenomenon of bypasses was also studied in this paper. When thunder storm strikes a building the electric field effect is propagated throughout the building surface and it damages the entire building. When the air terminal is places on the corners/edges it captures the lightning flashes on certain points and discharges it into the ground and the building remains safe. This phenomenon was studied in detail in this paper and it was proved that by installing the air terminal the remaining building structure was safe and the electric field intensity was concentrated on the installed air terminal rather than the whole roof top and the rest of the building.

A Proposed Java Static Slicing Approach

10.11591/ijeecs.v11.i1.pp308-317
Basem Alokush , Mohammad Abdallah , Mustafa Alrifaee , Mosa Salah
Program slicing is to abstract a part of source code depending on the point of interest. It used widely in maintenance, debugging and testing. There are many slicing techniques such as static, dynamic, and amorphous. In this paper, we choose to develop a new approach applying static slicing on Java programs. The new approach simplifies the data dependency using arrays. A new Tool called Java Multi-Slicing Tool (JavaMST) has been introduced to apply this approach.JavaMST presents new ways to slice any simple java code segment, it allows you to extract the variables and its direct and indirect dependencies from the code, using backward, forward or both slicing techniques to produce the needed code. This tool is a simple tool designed to deal with simple java code segments. JavaMST can be run under any operating system and does not require a specialized platforms or plug-ins. Therefore, it is useful to be used for educational purposes.

The application of the developed optimization technique Multi Objective Adaptive Tumbling Bacterial Foraging (MOATBFO) was introduced to solve the multi objective Reactive Power Planning (RPP) problems. The objective of conventional RPP problems is to minimize the total power losses in a system. However, in this study, the aspect of security was also taken into consideration in terms of voltage stability condition in solving RPP problems. Hence, the RPP problem is now termed as security constrained RPP (SCRPP) and generalized into a multi objective function via weighted sum method that labeled as MOSCRPP. The best minimum voltage solution for the network is aimed in ensuring the sustainable power system operation.  In order to verify the performance of the proposed technique were used for MOSCRPP in the IEEE 57 bus system thus the comprehensive analyses were also conducted with other multi objective Meta heuristic Evolutionary Programming (Meta-EP). From the results it shows that the multi objective ATBFO optimization is able to give better overall improvement in the objective functions for SCRPP problems.
