The circuit presented here is a variation of the classic unfolded Lange coupler. The structure is to provide equal power output, while maintaining a 90 #x00B0; phase difference, for as wide a frequency range as possible, between the coupled and through ports. This coupler has the advantage of using coplanar waveguide and microstrip transmission lines, while avoiding the use of air bridges as the traditional Lange coupler does. The proposed coupler instead uses a defected ground plane, vias, and short PCB traces to connect the interdigitated structure. The circuit is designed on a single-layer substrate and can easily be manufactured with PCB processes. For low-cost fabrication, FR-4 substrate, with one-ounce copper, is proposed. The Sonnet #x2122; simulation results show that the structure can provide a tight coupling factor of 3.6 dB when dielectric and conductor losses are included. The circuit is able to maintain a phase difference between 86 #x00B0; and 100 #x00B0; from 0.1-2 GHz.

This paper propose a metadata schema to preserve the semantics of cultural heritage (CH) objects. A widely used standard of CH metadata is already provide by CIDOC-CRM which has been approved as an ISO 21127 in 2006. However, mapping CH attributes to CIDOC-CRM entities needs to be done carefully since the metadata could be published as open data. In order to enrich the spatial information of CH objects, we linked the metadata with geographic features in open geographic dataset Geonames. In the experiment results, the metadata and open linked data seems to be successfully implemented and can be used to solve more specific query about CH objects relates to their spatio-temporal relationships

Agriculture plays most important role in the Indian economy. The agriculture sector of India has covered about 43percent of India's land area. Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms like histogram, segmentation, edge detection, fuzzy approach, region based growing and tracking to perform analysis on digital images. In the existing system it is seen that there is a requirement for manual detection and extraction of pest in agricultural field which is not more efficient and accurate. In the proposed work, an integrated pest management using image processing algorithm using extended region based growing to identify the pest and have the counting of the pest to predict the pesticide amount to be used. This extended region grow algorithm provides best identification and counting of the pest.

There is an enormous growth in the number of companies that are adapting to agile methodology. However questions regarding the impact of culture factors on agile projects arise. Adapting to this agile culture can come with a few challenges. Hence for successful implementation of agile culture it is important to understand the relationship between agile culture and culture of an organization, the cultural issues related to each methodology of the agile culture and the agile practices and techniques that are necessary to address these issues. Questionnaire survey has conducted with agile experienced team members as well. Adding to these factors having a well designed Universal Agile Culture Model (UACM) that can guide the organization, management and team members to achieve higher levels of success in the progress of agile projects is important. This model has proposed based on literature review and the analysis from the questionnaire survey results.

It had been proved that the knowledge may promote more efficient evolution. Considering the knowledge defined in different form, we present multi-objective quantum-inspired cultural algorithms so as to effectively utilize the implicit information embodied in the evolution to promote more efficient search. The dual structure derived from cultural algorithm was adopted. In population space, the rectangle's height of each allele in quantum individuals was calculated in terms of non-dominated rank by sorting among individuals, instead of the relative fitness values. In belief space, the knowledge memorized the distribution and location about the non-dominated individuals' objective values in the objective space and directed the mutation and selection operations so as to influence the update of quantum individuals further. The statistical simulation results for five benchmark functions indicated that the proposed algorithm keeps the diversity of population better and obtains more uniform pareto-optimal solutions near the true pareto front.

Design of self-start permanent magnet motors over wide operating range has been a challenging topic of interest among the researchers over the last two decades. This paper presents the design and finite element analysis of a novel 1HP 208V 3-phase 4-pole line start radial flux hysteresis interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor. The proposed motor is a solid-rotor self-starting hybrid synchronous motor combining both hysteresis phenomena and permanent magnet excitation inside the rotor. The transient performance analysis results of the hysteresis IPM motor are presented and explained in this paper. Simulation results exhibit that the proposed hysteresis IPM motor has smooth starting and good synchronization capabilities.

ÃʷϺ¸±â¿ø¹®º¸±â >
Volterra models can be used to represent a nonlinear systems with vanishing memory. The main drawback of these models is their huge number of parameters to be estimated. To reduce this parametric complexity, we can consider Volterra kernels of order (p gt; 2) as symmetric tensors and we use a parallel factor (PARAFAC) decomposition of the kernels to derive Volterra-PARAFAC models. In this paper, we present partial update LMS algorithms for identifying nonlinear third-order Volterra-PARAFAC models. Two partial update adaptive LMS algorithms are proposed when input-output signals are real-valued: periodic and sequential partial update version of the LMS. Some simulation results illustrate the proposed identification methods.

In this paper the focusing capability of a radiating aperture implementing an inward traveling wave current distribution directed along a fixed unit vector is investigated. In particular, it is shown that such a current distribution generates a field profile with its transverse component (with respect to the normal of the radiating aperture) taking the form of a zero-th order Bessel profile. As a practical implementation of the theoretical analysis, a circular-polarized (CP) Bessel beam launcher, made by a radial parallel-plate waveguide loaded with several slot pairs and arranged on a spiral pattern, is designed and optimized. The designed launcher performance agrees with the theoretical model and exhibits an excellent polarization purity.

ÃʷϺ¸±â¿ø¹®º¸±â >
The basic concept of smart environment is to be aware of the context information related to environmental and human behavioral changes, and to provide appropriate services accordingly. To obtain the context information, people often use video cameras, microphones, and other devices. These devices can obtain complex environmental data but they also need powerful equipment for handling the data. In addition, monitoring equipment will generate privacy issues. Users will generate sense of exclusion. In these devices, users generally dislike the graphic and audio monitoring equipment. We mainly collect user activity information through the most simple data quality of sensor. Due to amount of activity of human is difficult to make computers understand by natural language. On the other hand, activity vulnerable to external factors produce different variations. In order to effectively address these issues, we propose an activity to identify architecture based on fuzzy logic. This method using fuzzy logic deal with sensor data and using fuzzy decision trees identification of a user's activities. According to the results of preliminary experiments, the system can identify 85.49% the daily activities.

The paper addresses cross-cultural competence of the future engineers in the context of their mobility possibilities. The following issues are discussed: concept, structure and research methodology of cross-cultural and communicative competences; readiness for academic mobility and mobility challenges; experience of the Kazan National Research Technological University (Russia) in cross-cultural competence development and mobility programs. Cross-cultural competence is studied in the interrelation of its motivational, cognitive, personal, and communicative/behavioral components. National Research Universities in Russia intensify efforts to integrate into the global academic environment. The main challenges regarding mobility are second language fluency and cross-cultural competence. In this paper we introduce cross-cultural training course aimed at the development of cross-cultural competence. The empiric study is presented to prove the course efficiency.

Transient disturbances are common in a power system network and their monitoring is an important issue. Identification and classification of these disturbances help in stabilizing the system and minimizing the chances of failure of power equipments. In our paper, a modern graphical diagnostic tool known as Recurrent Plot (RP) analysis has been discussed and applied for visual monitoring, identification and classification of the distortions that occur in a power signal. This method gives a graphical insight into the non-linearity that occurs in a power signal due to injection of various disturbances.

Cooperation phenomena are ubiquitous in social systems. In this paper, based on the Prisoner's dilemma game model, we study the evolution of cooperation in two social networks, namely, the scientific collaboration network (SCN) and the #x201C;Pretty-Good-Privacy #x201D; (PGP) trust network. Our investigation shows that due to the existence of community structures in real social networks, small-degree individuals tend to follow their local hubs' behavior and would adopt their strategies in the long run. Hence, the community structure promotes the emergence of persistence behavior. This provides a clue to understanding the evolution of cooperation in social systems.

Smart grids are meant to reach multiple goals such as leveling the electricity demand profile, reducing electricity consumption and increasing the energy efficiency of the electrical grid. Smart buildings play an important role in achieving these goals. With an increased number of measuring and controlling tools, new problems also arise, such as their economic and environmental impacts, juxtaposed to the levels of savings achieved by them. This research investigated the impact of home automation on electricity consumption, related CO 2 emissions and costs. A smart building model with its appliances and different number of inhabitants was used along with eight electricity contracts and four different technology systems deployed. The results showed that a fully deployed automation system may be counterproductive, as the electricity need of the system may exceed the savings achieved by it. Therefore, a careful selection of the appliances to be used should be performed.

Identification determines the identity class of an object. Usually, this depends on object attributes measured together with object location by sensor systems. However, the uncertainty coming from the proceeding tracking and correlation process are normally ignored and lead to identification with questionable reliabilities. Here, tracking uncertainties are used to improve identity estimation and its reliability. This can be used to optimize the management of available identity sources.
