Improve The Performance of K-means by using Genetic Algorithm for Classification Heart Attack

10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp1256-1261
Asraa Abdullah Hussein
In this research the k-means method was used for classification purposes after it was improved using genetic algorithms. An automated classification system for heart attack was implemented based on the intelligent recruitment of computer capabilities at the same time characterized by high performance based on (270) real cases stored within a globally database known (Statlog). The proposed system aims to support the efforts of staff in medical felid to reduce the diagnostic errors committed by doctors who do not have sufficient experience or because of the fatigue that the doctor suffers as a result of work pressure. The proposed system goes through two stages: in the first-stage genetic algorithm is used to select important features that have a strong influence in the classification process. These features forms the inputs to the K-means method in the second-stage which uses the selected features to divide the database into two groups one of them contain cases infected with the disease while the other group contains the correct cases depending on the distance Euclidean. The comparison of performance for the method (K-means) before and after addition genetic algorithm shows that the accuracy of the classification improves remarkably where the accuracy of classification was raised from (68..1481) in the case of use (k- means only) to (84.741) when improved the method by using genetic algorithm.

Ch. S. V. S. Phani Kumar , T. Vinay Kumar
Now-a-days pollution is increasing due to “Non Renewable Energy Sources”. In order to enhance the efficiency of conventional grid and to generate the electrical power in eco-friendly way, the renewable energy sources are employed. In this paper a type 4 wind generation system is implemented to analyse the system under fault conditions and to analyse the grid stability. In the proposed system type-4 wind generation system integrated to grid through VSC-HVDC link analysis is done by considering a fault on the grid side by the system gets isolated and wind generation system transfers voltage to local load and remote load. When a DC fault is occurred on the VSC-HVDC link then the grid side breaker and wind side breaker gets open, then system gets isolated. This is implemented by considering “Low Voltage Ride Through” (LVRT) conditions, According to the Indian grid code of contact wind generation maintain constant even the voltage collapse is occurred on the grid side. The proposed VSC-HVDC based Type-4 Wind Generation System give more reliable to operate in LVRT condition and can meet the Load demand when the system is under fault condition to some extent; The proposed method is Type –4 Wind generator is of 4.4MW/2.2kV each with a total plant capacity of 110MW operated with VSC based HVDC transmission system with 110kV DC bus voltage connected to 220kV grid. The results obtained shows the Grid is operates under fault ride through conditions stability.

There has been a rise in demand for digitized medical images over the last two decades. Medical images' pivotal role in surgical planning is also an essential source of information for diseases and as medical reference as well as for the purpose of research and training. Therefore, effective techniques for medical image retrieval and classification are required to provide accurate search through substantial amount of images in a timely manner. Given the amount of images that are required to deal with, it is a non-viable practice to manually annotate these medical images. Additionally, retrieving and indexing them with image visual feature cannot capture high level of semantic concepts, which are necessary for accurate retrieval and effective classification of medical images. Therefore, an automatic mechanism is required to address these limitations. Addressing this, this study formulated an effective classification for X-ray medical images using different feature extractions and classification techniques. Specifically, this study proposed pertinent feature extraction algorithm for X-ray medical images and determined machine learning methods for automatic X-ray medical image classification. This study also evaluated different image features (chiefly global, local, and combined) and classifiers. Consequently, the obtained results from this study improved results obtained from previous related studies.

Recently, people's interest in health is deepening. So health-related systems are being developed. Existing exercise management systems provided users with exercise related information using PC or smart phone. However, there is a problem that the accuracy of the algorithm for analyzing the user's body information and providing information is low.In this paper, we analyze users' body mass index (BMI) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) and we propose a system that provides the user with necessary information through recommendation algorithm. It informs the user of exercise intensity and momentum, and graphs the exercise history of the user. It also allows the user to refer to the fitness history of other users in the same BMI group. This allows the user to receive more personalized services than the existing exercise management system, thereby enabling efficient exercise.

In the context of low carbon power systems, the penetration levels of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are expected to increase dramatically. In this regard, this paper investigates the maximum RES penetration level constrained by net load while considering an inflexible Unit Commitment (UC) model. To solve the UC problem, an enhanced priority list (EPL) based method is developed. In the proposed method, the plants were activated sequentially based on the operational price. The system constraint violations were repeatedly corrected until all system constraints (such as net load and spinning reserves) were satisfied. The proposed EPL method was efficient to achieve a near optimal solution under high shares of RES. Furthermore, the research work investigates three different scenarios representing penetration levels of 10% solar-only, 14.5% wind-only and 27.5% mixture of both solar and wind. The impact of each penetration level on the system scheduling and operational cost were analyzed in detail. The analysis presented shows that a potential operational cost savings of 21.6 $/MW, 20 $/MW and 11.1 $/MW is feasible under each of the represented scenarios, respectively.

Defining the correct number of clusters is one of the most fundamental tasks in graph clustering. When it comes to large graphs, this task becomes more challenging because of the lack of prior information. This paper presents an approach to solve this problem based on the Bat Algorithm, one of the most promising swarm intelligence based algorithms. We chose to call our solution, “Bat-Cluster (BC).” This approach allows an automation of graph clustering based on a balance between global and local search processes. The simulation of four benchmark graphs of different sizes shows that our proposed algorithm is efficient and can provide higher precision and exceed some best-known values.

Comparative Analysis of Power Quality Indices for Different Lighting Techniogies in Public Lightning

10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp880-887
Jurica Perko , Srete Nikolovski , Ljubomir Majdandžić
As with any other product, having electricity of a certain quality is very important for consumers. Its quality has become the key feature that can be disturbed by loads based on power electronic devices. Electricity producers are striving to provide reliable and quality electricity supply to consumers. Public lighting systems that are based on LED lighting technology can potentially positively or negatively affect the power quality because they contain power electronics components in LED drivers. Because of that, two 7-day measurements were conducted on the same public lighting branch but with different lighting technologies (high pressure sodium, known as HPS and LED technology). Results of the measurements were analysed and compared. By analysing the results, other problems were also identified by using LED lighting technology. These problems are addressed in the conclusion of the paper.

Automatic extraction of brachial artery and measuring associated indices such as flow-mediated dilatation and Intima-media thickness are important for early detection of cardiovascular disease and other vascular endothelial malfunctions. In this paper, we propose the basic but important component of such decision-assisting medical software development – noise tolerant fully automatic segmentation of brachial artery from ultrasound images. Pixel clustering with Fuzzy C-Means algorithm in the quantization process is the key component of that segmentation with various image processing algorithms involved. This algorithm could be an alternative choice of segmentation process that can replace speckle noise-suffering edge detection procedures in this application domain.

Three Area Power System Load Frequency Control Using Fuzzy Logic Controller

10.11591/ijape.v7.i1.pp18-26
C. R. Balamurugan
System frequency is one of the most important parameters of a power system. Du to generation-load mismatches, the system frequency can vary over a small range. When the power consumed by loads and overall losses is greater than the generated power, the operating frequency of the system will decrease, resulting in a situation known as the under frequency condition. In some other case, if some of the loads in a system are disconnected from the system suddenly, or lost, it leads to a condition called as the over frequency condition. This condition is char acterized by greater input power than the consumed power by the loads. The rest of the loads in the system will absorb the extra power and the generator inertia, leading to an increase in the system frequency. In both the cases, the system frequency fluctuates from the power system’s limited frequency range, further leading to tripping off of the substation and further collapsing of the entire system. The paper describes a new method employing a smart meter to monitor and control the power system frequency which changes according to the loading conditions in the system, whether under load condition or overload condition.

Abrham Debasu; Bahir Dar University Mengistu
This paper presents the effects of segmentation techniques in the identification of Ethiopian coffee variety. In Ethiopia, coffee varieties are classified based on their growing region. The most widely coffee growing regions in Ethiopia are Bale, Harar, Jimma, Limu, Sidamo and Welega. Coffee beans of these regions very in color shape and texture. We investigated various segmentation techniques for efficient coffee beans variety identification system. Images of six different coffee beans varieties in Oromia and Southern Ethiopia were acquired and analyzed. For this study Otsu, Fuzzy-C-Means (FCM) and Kmeans segmentation techniques are considered. For classification of the varieties of Ethiopian coffee beans back propagation neural network (BPNN) is used. From the experiment 94.54% accuracy is achieved when BPNN is used on FCM segmentation technique.

Recently chaos-based encryption has been obtained more and more attention. Chaotic systems without equilibria may be suitable to be used to design pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) because there does not exist corresponding chaos criterion theorem on such systems. This paper proposes two propositions on 4-dimensional systems without equilibria. Using one of the propositions introduces a chaotic system without equilibria. Using this system and the generalized chaos synchronization (GCS) theorem constructs an 8-dimensional discrete generalized chaos synchronization (8DBDGCS) system. Using the 8DBDGCS system designs a 216-word chaotic PRNG. Simulation results show that there are no significant correlations between the key stream and the perturbed key streams generated via the 216-word chaotic PRNG. The key space of the chaotic PRNG is larger than 21275. As an application, the chaotic PRNG is used with an avalanche-encryption scheme to encrypt an RGB image. The results demonstrate that the chaotic PRNG is able to generate the avalanche effects which are similar to those generated via ideal chaotic PRNGs.

Self driving is an autonomous vehicle that can follow the road with less human intervention. The development of self driving utilizes various methods such as radar, lidar, GPS, camera, or combination of them. In this research, street mark detection system was designed using webcam and raspberry-pi mini computer for processing the image. The image was processed by HSV color filtering method. The processing rate of this algorithm was 137.98 ms correspondinig to 7.2 FPS. The self-driving prototype was found to be working optimally for “hue” threshold of 0-179, “saturation” threshold of 0-30, and “value” threshold of 200-255. Street mark detection has been obtained from the coordinates of street mark object which had range 4-167 on x axis and 4-139 on y axis. As a result, we have successfully built the street mark detection by COG method more effectively and smoothly in detection in comparison with Hough transform method.

The idea of security is as old as humanity itself. Between oldest methods of security were included simple mechanical locks whose authentication element was the key. At first, a universal–simple type, later unique for each lock. A long time had mechanical locks been the sole option for protection against unauthorized access. The boom of biometrics has come in the 20th century, and especially in recent years, biometrics is much expanded in the various areas of our life. Opposite of traditional security methods such as passwords, access cards, and hardware keys, it offers many benefits. The main benefits are the uniqueness and the impossibility of their loss. The main benefits are the uniqueness and the impossibility of their loss. Therefore we focussed in this paper on the the design of low cost biometric fingerprint system and subsequent implementation of this system in praxtise. Our main goal was to create a system that is capable of recognizing fingerprints from a user and then processing them. The main part of this system is the microcontroller Arduino Yun with an external interface to the scan of the fingerprint with a name Adafruit R305 (special reader). This microcontroller communicates with the external database, which ensures the exchange of data between Arduino Yun and user application. This application was created for (currently) most widespread mobile operating system-Android.

Effects of Inter-Element Spacing and Number of Elements on Planar Array Antenna Characteristics

10.11591/ijeecs.v10.i1.pp230-240

Planar array antenna is seen as one of the innovative solutions of massive MIMO and 5G networks since they provide directive beams. In this paper, planar array antenna with square and rectangular arrangements based on 2 x 2 antenna elements as one subarray was proposed. Then, array factor for the the planar array antenna with up to 64 antenna elements was calculated to analyze the effects of inter-element spacing and number of elements on the antenna characteristics. Higher values of inter-element spacing contributed to higher number of side lobes, narrower main lobe, higher directivity and lower half power beamwidth (HPBW). Inter-element spacing equals to 0.5λ was found to be the most suitable value for planar array antenna design based on the analysis. Meanwhile, higher number of antenna elements increased the value of directivity of the planar array with narrower HPBW. Therefore, there is a tradeoff between directivity and HPBW in designing planar array antenna for massive MIMO application.
