Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of an Optimal Fuzzy Logic Controller Using Genetic AlgorithmS. Khan, S. F. Abdulazeez, L. W. Adetunji et al.All control systems suffer from problems related to undesirable overshoot, longer settling times and vibrations while going form one state to another state. Most of relevant techniques had been in the form of suggesting modification and improvement in the instrumentation or interfacing part of the control system and the results reported, remain suffering from shortcomings related to hardware parameter dependence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Studies on A Cross Flow Plate Fin Heat ExchangerM. Thirumarimurugan, T. Kannadasan, E. RamasamyCompact heat exchangers which were initially developed for the aerospace industries in the 1940s have been considerably improved in the past few years. The main reasons for the good performance of compact heat exchangers are their special design which includes turbulent which in turn use high heat transfer coefficient and resists fouling, and maximum temperature driving force between the hot … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReed Solomon Coding for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum in Jamming EnvironmentOthman Sidek, Abid YahyaFrequency hopping spread spectrum with noncoherent M-ary frequency shift keying system is considered. In this study Reed Solomon codes RS (255, 223) are employed in a standard error correction role to provide some Anti-Jamming (AJ) capability with 8-bit symbols. Noise has been added to RS encoded data, which is demodulated at RS decoder perfectly. Matlab simulations have been implemented for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Control of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power FilterMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuIn this research the performance of a three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) using Model Reference Controller (MRC) has been compared with that using instantaneous active and reactive (p-q) theory. The novelty of this research lies in the application of MRC to generate the amplitude of the reference supply current required by the APF circuit and the successful implementation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbdominal and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm ModelingMona Abdolrazaghi, Mehdi NavidBakhsh, Kamran HassaniModeling is a beneficial tool for understanding cardiovascular system functioning and pathophysiology of the system. The present study is concerned with left ventricle Pressure-Volume diagrams obtained by modeling of aortic aneurysms using the cardiovascular electronic system. In addition, these graphs were compared with a normal condition.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Advantages of PID Fuzzy Controllers Over The Conventional TypesAbdullah I. Al-Odienat, Ayman A. Al-LawamaFuzzy logic controllers (FLC's) have the following advantages over the conventional controllers: they are cheaper to develop, they cover a wider range of operating conditions, and they are more readily customizable in natural language terms. A self-organizing fuzzy controller can automatically refine an initial approximate set of fuzzy rules. Application of PI-type fuzzy controller increases the quality factor. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 18,036 accessesView PDFCite
