An improved PSO-based approach for the photovoltaic cell parameters identification in a single diode model

10.11591/ijeecs.v36.i2.pp749-759
Maria Amaidi , Lassaad Zaaraoui , Ali Mansouri
The future power of photovoltaic systems (PVS) is gaining significant attention due to its rising potential. This has resulted in a substantial amount of research emphasizing the importance of optimizing the PVS efficiency. However, the identification of PV cell model parameters remains a challenging task, mainly due to the characteristics of PV cells and their dependence on varying meteorological conditions. In this work, we present a novel methodology based on an improved new multi objective particle swarm optimization (NMOPSO) algorithm for the PV cell parameters identification. The main goal is to minimize the root mean square error (RMSE) and to calculate the series resistance (Rs) by means of its non-linear equation form. The applied algorithm uses an evolving and adaptive search strategy to enhance both speed of convergence for the parameter identification process precision. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that proposed approach outperforms current methods in terms of accuracy, precision, and PV parameters extraction.

Research on the using of ZnO nanostructures to increase the white light-emitting diodes optics effectiveness

10.11591/ijeecs.v36.i2.pp793-799
Phan Xuan Le , Pham Hong Cong
In conventional white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), the combination of blue-LED chips with a yellow-phosphor type is the commonly employed method of production. However, this approach often results in low angular correlated color temperature (CCT) homogeneity. To address this issue, this research proposes the incorporation of ZnO nanostructures into WLED packages to enhance color homogeneity. The impacts of varying concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles on the morphologies, scattered energy, and CCT deviations in WLED packages are studied utilizing the Mie-scattering theory and MATLAB measurement techniques to analyze the scattering effects of ZnO nanoparticles. The scattering analysis reveals that the presence of ZnO nanoparticles significantly increases the scattered strength of WLEDs, especially with larger particles’ radii, due to their strong scattering influence. Then, 1 µm is the selected size of the ZnO used in further tests. With different ZnO concentrations (2-50 wt.%) in the phosphor layer, the CCT deviation holds an inverse proportion to the luminous efficiency. Particularly, higher concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles reduce the CCT deviation, leading to improved color homogeneity, but a decline in lumen efficiency. The findings provide the basis of ZnO scattering performance, which can be utilized to explore potential ways for enhancing WLED’s color uniformity and overall performance.

In this work, we have used the surrogate model assisted differential evolution (SADEA) to model a one and two-element inset-fed patch antenna array to optimize its parameters for efficiency and usability. The microstrip patch antennas operates in a frequency band of 2.4 GHz. The optimization process focused on fine-tuning the patch length, patch width, and notch width to enhance key performance metrics directivity, return loss, and bandwidth. The design is made in CST software with an FR-4 substrate and simulated in the ADE1.0 software a MATLAB toolbox. Significant enhancements were achieved including a directivity gain of 3.04 dB, and 5.58 dB a return loss of -19 dB, -16 dB, and an expanded impedance bandwidth from 0.0798 GHz, 0.0588 GHz to 0.0951 GHz, 0.0824 GHz respectively. The antenna was constructed and then measured. The findings showed that the measurements and the fabrication process closely matched, especially in terms of return loss.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most significant methods of diagnostics for determining heart rhythm disorders. For this study, raw ECG signals from the Physio Bank database are subjected to an important preprocessing step that uses empirical mode decomposition (EMD) on signal denoising and distortion elimination. Establishing functioning spiking neural networks (SNN) involves figuring out the neuron’s state through its activity level, challenging due to its resemblance to the human brain’s data processing, yet appealing due to factors like improved unsupervised learning methods, with ten parameters chosen for the learning algorithm of SNN. A comprehensive set of 15 different time-domain features and 10 Cepstral domain features is precisely extracted to train the SNN classifier. An extensive study is conducted to analyse the learning parameters that affect SNN performance, significantly influencing result accuracy. Through a two-classification process, the differentiation between normal and abnormal ECG patterns can be achieved in this study. A maximum testing accuracy of 91.6667% and a maximum training accuracy of 99.1667% have been attained by the process. These results demonstrate the competency of the system in distinguishing between distinct ECG classes, particularly in identifying normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms through ECG classification.

10.11591/ijeecs.v36.i2.pp1261-1272
Fatima-Zahrae Sifi , Wafae Sabbar , Amal El Mzabi
With the speed increase of reviews or other forms of text, natural language has the ability to convey large and complex amounts of information in relatively small communications. This capability is being leveraged by the machine-learning algorithm known as latent dirichlet allocation (LDA), which can be utilized to discover latent topics within documents. LDA can be also used to generate summaries or abstracts from a given set of documents. However, LDA can struggle to identify topics in short documents or in data with high levels of noise. This article will introduce a new method for topic modeling with LDA based on diagonal reading for sentences (DIAG-LDA). Primarily, the features are selected using the TF-IDF algorithm, and the highest relevant features are extracted using the confidence value. Besides, the classification step is executed utilizing the LDA classifier. Ultimately, we evaluate our model using the convolutional neural network algorithm. The experiment results show that DIAG-LDA performs well in identifying features from text data, achieving a 94.4%, and 89.5% in accuracy for the datasets on international economics and the political economy.

Developing explainable machine intelligence (XAI) models for heart sound abnormality detection is a crucial area of research aimed at improving the interpretability and transparency of machine learning algorithms in medical diagnostics. In this study, we propose a framework for building XAI models that can effectively detect abnormalities in heart sounds while providing interpretable explanations for their predictions. We leverage techniques such as SHapley additive exPlanations (SHAP) and local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) to generate explanations for model predictions, enabling clinicians to understand the rationale behind the algorithm’s decisions. Our approach involves preprocessing heart sound data, training machine learning models, and integrating XAI techniques to enhance the interpretability of the models. We evaluate the performance of our XAI models using standard metrics and demonstrate their effectiveness in accurately detecting heart sound abnormalities while providing insightful explanations for their predictions. This research contributes to the advancement of XAI in medical applications, particularly in the domain of cardiac diagnostics, where interpretability is crucial for clinical decision-making.

Breast cancer is widespread across the globe. It’s the primary cause of death in cancer fatalities. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health annual report, it ranked as the third reported death of all reported cancer deaths in the West Bank. Mammogram screening is the most common technique to diagnose breast abnormalities, but there is a challenge in the lack of skilled experts able to accurately interpret mammograms. Machine learning plays an important role in medical image processing particularly in early detection when the treatment is less expensive and available. In this paper we proposed different convolutional neural network (CNN) models to detect breast abnormalities with promising results. Six CNN models were used in this research on a unique (first-hand) dataset collected from the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The models are VGG16, VGG19, DenseNet121, ResNet50, Xception, and EfficientNetB7. Consequently, DenseNet121 outperformed other models with 0.83 and 0.85 for testing accuracy and area under curve (AUC) respectively. As a future work, the outperformed model can be combined with other patient data like genetic information, medical history, and lifestyle factors to evaluate the risk of developing specific diseases. This would increase the survival rate and enable proactive measures.

Expanding development environments to accommodate huge amounts of reusable components along with associated maintenance and evolution responsibilities has become difficult and costly for software organizations to cope with, while benefits are limited to owner organizations. The challenge of organizing reusable assets so that finding the right component needed has always been a big challenge. The literature of software reuse lacks a comprehensive search method that is efficient and covers the entire system development lifecycle (SDLC). This research work attempts to make an efficient use of the cloud computing advantages and thus, encourages the migration of reusable components to the clouds. The maintenance, the search process and cost-related problems encountered with traditional in-house development environments can be resolved conclusively on the cloud. This research work proposes a multi-classification and clusters approach to migrate reusable components to the cloud. Accordingly, it applies indexing process to classified reusable components achieving efficient search. In addition, the proposed approach adopts a comprehensive SDLC-based classification to organize reusable components so that searching and finding an appropriate component becomes an easy task due to the fact it is bound to the particular undergoing phase. Cloud computing provides more storage and resources with low cost, compared to traditional in-house development environments.

It is essential to enhance the speech signal's clarity and quality in order to maintain the message's content. By boosting the noisy voice signal, the speech signal quality can be raised. Two techniques are presented in this study to significantly minimize the additive background noise. In order to minimize non-stationary additive noise concerning the speech signal, the first approach employs modified multiband spectral subtraction. With this technique, spectral subtraction is carried out based on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) values in various noisy speech frames. When the noisy signal and noise signal are somewhat correlated, a second method is used to minimize the cross spectral components. These techniques are used to get over the drawbacks of the fundamental spectrum subtraction method. To improve the noisy speech signal, both techniques are combined.

In recent days, people must deal with stress brought on by the demands of modern living, which constantly presents new obstacles. Stress, a state of mental tension triggered by challenging circumstances, has become a global risk factor impacting individual well-being. Understanding variations in stress resilience is crucial for tailoring treatment strategies. Previous studies have explored stress prediction using measures like electroencephalography (EEG), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and interventions such as Kriya Yoga and mindfulness meditation. The experimentation is done on the data collected from people who practice heartfulness meditation regularly. The research employs machine learning (ML) algorithms alongside physiological parameters such as EEG, BP, HR, and psychological parameters, perceived stress scale (PSS), to precisely classify, measure, and predict stress levels. The investigations are done using K-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), and kernel-support vector machine (k-SVM). An accuracy of 98.27% accuracy was achieved with the RF algorithm in classifying stressed and non-stressed individuals.

As many as 70-80% of endometrial cancer cases are endometrial adenocarcinoma. Histopathological assessment is based on the degree of differentiation, into well-differentiated, moderate-differentiated, and poorly-differentiated. Management and prognosis differ between grades, so differential diagnosis in determining the degree of tumor differentiation is crucial for appropriate treatment decisions. Histopathological image analysis offers detailed diagnostic results, but manual analysis by a pathologist is very complicated, error-prone, quite tedious, and time-consuming. Therefore, an automatic diagnostic system is needed to assist pathologists in grading the tumor. This research aims to determine the degree of differentiation of endometrial adenocarcinoma based on histopathological images. The extreme learning machine (ELM) method performs image classification with gray level run long matrix (GLRLM) features and a combination of local binary pattern (LBP)-GLRLM features as input. Experimental results show that the ELM model can achieve satisfactory performance. Training accuracy, testing accuracy, and model precision with GLRLM features were 97.13%, 91.33%, and 80% and combined LBPGLRLM features were 91.03%, 71.33%, and 100%. Overall, the model created can determine the degree of tumor differentiation and is useful in providing a second opinion for pathologists.

The present study analyzes the microstrip antenna design for wireless power transfer in smart buildings, harnessing the ambient electromagnetic radiation due to common electronic gadgets that energize wireless sensor networks, computing devices, and connected appliances. With the increased number of these devices, so does the potential for health problems caused by electromagnetic radiation. However, these devices also provide a renewable energy source through their emissions. This study suggests the creation of a 5G Microstrip antenna that enhances the absorption of this radiation for the purpose of recharging batteries in smart buildings. The design capitalizes on the inherent low-profile and cost-effective features of microstrip antennas, making them well-suited for incorporation into building infrastructure and 5G wireless technologies. Although each individual device emits a little amount of energy, the combined effect achieved by advanced antenna design and power converters is anticipated to result in a substantial energy production. The antenna designer tool from MATLAB was used to carry out a conceptual simulation of the microstrip antenna. This has set up the framework of a feasible way of predicting the performance with high efficiency and sustainability for a wireless power transfer (WPT) system.
