Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability Assessment of Power System Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network and a New Feature Extraction MethodAhmed M.A. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini HussainVulnerability assessment in power systems is important so as to determine how vulnerable a power system in case of any unforeseen catastrophic events. This paper presents the application of Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) for vulnerability assessment of power system incorporating a new proposed feature extraction method named as the Neural Network Weight Extraction (NNWE) for dimensionality reduction of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural-Based Models of Semiconductor Devices for SPICE SimulatorHanene Ben Hammouda, Mongia Mhiri, Zièd Gafsi, Kamel BesbesThe paper addresses a simple and fast new approach to implement Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models for the MOS transistor into SPICE. The proposed approach involves two steps, the modeling phase of the device by NN providing its input/output patterns, and the SPICE implementation process of the resulting model. Using the Taylor series expansion, a neural based small-signal model is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model to Simulate Tuberculosis Disease Population DynamicsO.K. Koriko, T.T. YusufA mathematical model to depict Tuberculosis disease population dynamics was presented. The model population was compartmentalised as appropriate and the resulting model equations were solved numerically while different instances of the disease transmission were simulated. The graphical profiles of the various sub-populations with time were presented and discussed based on the results from our simulations. Also, the disease-free and endemic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChaos Control in Nonlinear Systems Using the Generalized Backstopping MethodA.R. Sahab, M. Haddad ZarifOne of the most important nonlinear systems for checking the abilities of control methods is chaos. In this study chaos in Lorenz system was used for checking abilities of new control method. This new method to control nonlinear systems was called Generalized Backstepping method because of its similarity to Backstepping but its abilities to control more systems than Backstepping. This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Modelling of an Industrial Smelter Furnace and Converter Off-gas SystemHelen Shang, Megan Dillabough, Phillip Nelson, Bryan SaltIn smelters, metal ores or concentrates are smelted to reduce a metal oxide to a metal through a series of reactions and processes. In a smelting process, a large amount of off-gas emissions are often generated, which can cause serious environmental and plant hygiene problems if not properly treated. Off-gas systems extract and treat the off-gas emissions, and ensure that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Testing of a Medical Surgical Instrument Capable of Detecting Simulated Embedded LumpsJavad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Reza Ramezanifard, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheA novel endoscopic grasper is being fabricated and tested. This grasper can be used in detecting lumps or tumors in biological tissues. The detailed fabrication process of the tactile sensor has been discussed. Custom-made sensors were integrated with the jaws of the endoscopic grasper and objects with known tactile features were tested by the designed grasper. Different experiments were performed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrientation Detection of Sensed Objects using a Four Sensor Tactile System with Applications in Bio-RoboticsAshkan Mirbagheri, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheA novel approach is presented that can be used in determining the sensitivity of a four sensor tactile sensor to the orientation of the contacted objects. Computer simulations were conducted by using a rectangular probe of 14 mm by 7 mm size and applying three magnitudes of forces, i.e., 0.5, 1, and 2 N. A bi-variate function was obtained, showing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Probability Density Function of the Test Statistic for One Nonlinear GLR Detector Arising from fMRIFangyuan NanRecently an important and interesting nonlinear generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) detector emerged in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data processing. However, the study of that detector is incomplete: the probability density function (pdf) of the test statistic was draw from numerical simulations without much theoretical support and is therefore, not firmly grounded. This correspondence presents more accurate (asymptotic) closed form … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of the Enhanced Associativity Based Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET)Ayman Mansour Murad, Bassam Al-MahadeenThe simulations results showed that the overall EABR enhancement, when compared with ABR, in terms of communication overhead was ranging from 36% to 56%. While the overall EABR enhancement in terms of number of operation required to reconstructing the route was ranging from 36% to 55%. These enhancements were contributed to the novel way in route reconstructing introduced by EABR. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLQ-Moments: Application to the Log-Normal distributionAni Shabri, Abdul A. JemainMudolkar and Hutson (1998) extended L-moments to new moment like entitles called LQmoments (LQMOM). The LQMOM are constructed by using functional defining the quick estimators, where the parameters of quick estimator take the values p = 0, α = 1 for the median, p = 1/4, α = 1/4 for the trimean and p = 0.3, α = 1/3 for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
