Ceren Yağmur Aras , Durmuş Aslan
This study was conducted to determine the effects of I Can Problem Solve Program on preschool children’s perspective taking skills. Participants were 51 children who were attending two public preschool. In the study, pretest – posttest – permanence test control group desing was used. There were an experimental group and two control groups in the study. As data collection tool, “Perspective Taking Test for Children (PTC)” which was developed by Aslan and Köksal-Akyol [1] were utilized. Firstly, PTC was applied to children as pretest. Then “I Can Problem Solve Program” which was developed by Shure [2] and adapted to Turkish by Öğülmüş [3] was applied to children in experimental group. Children in control groups were attend the regular program. After the completing the program application PTC was implemented to experimental group and control groups as posttest. Finally, PTC was applied to experimental group as permanence test after a month of posttest. At the end of the study, it was determined that I Can Problem Solve Program had a significant impact on children’s perspective taking skills. There was a statistically significant difference between experimental group and control groups in posttest, while there was no difference between the groups in prettest. Children in experimental group performed better than children in control groups in posttest. Moreover, there was no significant difference in experimental group’s scores between posttest and permanence test scores.

T. Ramesh , R. Saravanan , S. Sekar
This work presents a unique combination of an boost converter  run by a set of two photovoltaic panels (PV) with a MPPT, suitable to guarantee MPP even under partial shadowed conditions, managed by an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) trained by the training data derived from a Perturb and observation (P&O) conventional algorithm. The single phase cascaded H bridge five-level inverter (CHI) driven by the individual outputs of the boost converter, with selective harmonic elimination scheme to eliminate typically the seventh order harmonics. Simulation was carried out in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment validated the proposed scheme. It has been thus established; by both simulations the ANFIS model of MPPT scheme outperforms other schemes of conventional control algorithm.

Neural Network Based MPPT Controller for Solar PV Connected Induction Motor

10.11591/ijra.v7i2.pp129-139
T. Shanthi
In this paper, Maximum Power Point Tracking Controller is designed based on Neural Network Controller (NNC). This controller will sense the speed of a single phase induction motor which is fed from solar panel. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm are required in all photovoltaic (PV) system and in order to increase the efficiency of the system, Incremental Conductance algorithm which is an effective algorithm is used to extract maximum power from the solar panel which supplies an Induction motor of 1HP. To step up the voltage available from the solar panel, the SEPIC dc – dc converter is used. The main advantage of the converter is having non-inverted output. The converter acts as an interface between PV array and motor load. The entire system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink  software.

This study aims to study the mediation role of locus of control on the impact of learned helplessness on students’ academic procrastination. Studies reported that more than 70% university students procrastinate, and one of the causes is the perception that one is vulnerable or helpless in finishing the procrastinate tasks. It was hypothesized that internal locus of control iLOC can reduce the effect if the learned helplessness (LH) on academic procrastination. Data was collected from 60 university students by utilizing instruments such as Duttweiller’s Internal Control Scale, Pure Procrastination Scale (adapted for academic setting) and Learned Helplessness Scale. Multiple regression with Process add-on showed that full mediation occurred; the prediction of LH on procrastination became insignificant when iLOC is controlled. In other words, when students believe that they are in control of their events, the less likely they will procrastinate doing their tasks due to helpless feeling.

A Cooperative Cache Management Scheme for IEEE802.15.4 based Wireless Sensor Networks

10.11591/ijece.v8i3.pp1701-1710
Piyush Charan , Tahsin Usmani , Rajeev Paulus , Syed Hasan Saeed
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) based on the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and PHY layer standards is a recent trend in the market. It has gained tremendous attention due to its low energy consumption characteristics and low data rates. However, for larger networks minimizing energy consumption is still an issue because of the dissemination of large overheads throughout the network. This consumption of energy can be reduced by incorporating a novel cooperative caching scheme to minimize overheads and to serve data with minimal latency and thereby reduce the energy consumption. This paper explores the possibilities to enhance the energy efficiency by incorporating a cooperative caching strategy.

Adil Bouhouch , Hamid Bennis , Chakir Loqman , Abderrahim El Qadi
Continuous Hopfield neural Network (CHN) is one of the effective approaches to solve Constrain Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). However, the main problem with CHN is that it can reach stabilisation with outputs in real values, which means an inconsistent solution or an incomplete assignment of CSP variables. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid approach combining CHN and min-conflict heuristic to mitigate these problems. The obtained results  show  an  improvement  in  terms  of  solution  quality,  either  our approach achieves feasible soluion with a high rate of convergence, furthermore, this approach can also enhance theperformance more than conventional CHN in some cases, particularly, when the network crashes.

Positive Interval Observer-based State Feedback Controller for Uncertain General Anaesthesia System

10.11591/ijeecs.v10.i3.pp1000-1006
Jing Jing Chang , S. Syafiie
The drug delivery process of general anaesthesia in the human body is most commonly described by the Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model. Since the PK model is a positive linear system, the design of the controller can be treated as a positive stabilization problem. In this paper, a state feedback controller with positive interval observer was designed using a linear programming approach by taking into account the inter-individual variability among patient in the PK model. The designed controller was assessed by simulation on a pool of patients. The result shows that the design of a fix controller for the whole population is difficult due to the conflict between performance and robustness.

10.12928/telkomnika.v16i3.6756
S.A; Universidad de Talca Kamran , Javier; Universidad de Talca Muñoz
This paper proposes a novel voltage oriented decoupled control scheme for the DFIG’s Grid Side Converter (GSC) of a 2.3Mw, 690V, 50Hz, 6 pole doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind generation system. For Rotor Side Converter (RSC), slip and constant V/Hz control scheme along with a feedback control via PWM is selected but not explained in this paper.Based on the per-phase steady state equivalent circuit model of a DFIG, relationship between stator and rotor voltages is developed. Voltage oriented decoupled control scheme for GSC is designed in such a way that it can keep the dc link voltage constant by regulating grid reactive power when required. The space vector modulation (SVM) algorithm is explained breifly and implemented for the two-level GSC. MATLAB/SIMULINK (R2015a) software validates the proposed control scheme for GSC.

Multiwavelength Fiber Laser based on Bidirectional Lyot Filter in Conjunction with Intensity Dependent Loss Mechanism

10.11591/ijeecs.v10.i3.pp840-846
A. H. Sulaiman , N. Md. Yusoff , N. A. Cholan , M. A. Mahdi
We experimentally demonstrate a multiwavelength fiber laser (MWFL) based on bidirectional Lyot filter. A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used as the gain medium, while its combination with polarization controllers (PCs) and polarization beam combiner (PBC) induces intensity dependent loss (IDL) mechanism. The IDL mechanism acts as an intensity equalizer to flatten the multiwavelength spectrum, which can be obtained at a certain polarization state. Using different ratio of optical splitter has affected to multiwavelength flatness degradation. Subsequently, when we removed a polarizer in the setup, the extinction ratio (ER) is decreased. Ultimately, with two segments of polarization maintaining fiber (PMF), two channel spacings can be achieved due to splicing shift of 0° and 90°.

This paper describes a new risk assessment model for application development and its implementation. The model is developed using a Bayesian network and Boehm’s software risk principles. The Bayesian network is created after mapping top twenty risks in software projects with interrelationship digraph of risk area category. The probability of risk on the network is analyzed and validated using both numerical simulation and subjective probability from several experts in the field and a team of application developers. After obtaining the Bayesian network model, risk exposure is calculated using Boehm's risk principles. Finally, the implementation of the proposed model in a government institution is shown as a real case illustration.

ETDCC: Energy-Efficient Transmission Scheme for Dynamic Climatic Conditions in WSN

10.12928/telkomnika.v16i3.8513

In this paper, an energy-efficient transmission scheme for dynamic climatic conditions (ETDCC) has been proposed in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This scheme is based on IEEE802.15.4 standard. In this method, open-loop and closed-loop feedback systems are used for snowfall variation. An open-loop system is utilized for snowfall-aware link quality compensation and estimation. However, closed-loop system aids to split the network into two logical regions, resulting the overhead of total control packets is minimized. According to link quality changes due to snowfall variation, the transmitting power is decided on the basis of current number of neighbor nodes and threshold power loss for each region. The simulated results depict that the proposed scheme with reduced control packets overhead adjusts transmitting power level (Plevel) to compensate link quality. This scheme based on threshold level is compared with the conventional approach that comprises the division of regions without threshold level.

The aim of this research work is to estimate the amount of electricity produced to power up wearable devices using a piezoelectric actuator, as an alternative to external power supply. A prototype of the device has been designed to continuously rotate a piezoelectric actuator mounted on a cantilever beam. A MATLAB® simulation was done to predict the amount of power harvested from human kinetic energy. Further simulation was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a cantilever beam with piezoelectric layer. With the base excitation and the presence of tip mass at the beam, the natural frequencies and mode shapes have been analyzed to improve the amount of energy harvested. In this work, it was estimated that a maximum amount of power that could be generated is 250 μW with up to 5.5V DC output. The outcome from this research works will aid in optimising the design of the energy harvester. This research work provides optimistic possibility in harvesting sufficient energy required for wearable devices.
