    Direct torque control "DTC" technique is one of a high performance control system of an AC motor drive, which was proposed after the vector oriented control scheme during the resent 25 years. It has been developed rapidly for its concise system scheme, transient and dynamic performance. The DTC mechanism consists of voltage vector selection table, two hysteresis comparators and two estimators one for stator flux and another for electromagnetic torque. DTC is directly control torque and flux by using Voltage Source Inverter VSI, space vector and stator flux orientation and indirect speed regulated. A several control techniques can be used for improving the torque and flux performance. In this paper, the DTC with Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller used to improve the starting and dynamic performance of asynchronous motor AM, which gives good torque and flux response, best speed control and also minimize the unacceptable torque ripple. The mathematical model of DTC with PID controller of 3-phase induction motor IM are simulated under Matlab-Simulink. Therefore, the DTC based on PID controller has good performance of IM compared to classical DTC for starting, running state and also during change in load

    Get PDF
    In this study, a mathematical model for optimizing the cost of solid waste recycling and management was developed. Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA) was used during the optimization process to identify the level of disposed solid wastes and recycled solid wastes. SCA is a recent optimization algorithm, which requires several initial individual random solutions and requires their outward or inward fluctuation towards the best solution with respect to a mathematical relationship that depends on sine and cosine functions. This algorithm also integrated several adaptive and random variables to ensure the exploration and exploitation of the solution space in different optimization tasks. The outcome of this study suggested the effectiveness of the SCA for least distance path allocation while effectively considering all factors

    This study aimed at studying the geopolitical condition for the determinants of the Jordan Water security through the following objectives: clearing the effective demographic data on Jordan water security. Disclosing the impact of the Syrian crisis on the Jordan Water Security and recognizing the influence of climate characteristics on Jordan Water Security and clearing the impact of the geopolitical condition on Jordan Water Security. The study had employed the analytical descriptive method…and it concerns with specifying reality and collecting facts about it and analyzing its sides, with what shares in working on developing it. The study deduced results meaning that the geopolitical condition played a role in the lack of water, because of the geographic nature of Jordan, the thing that led to fewness of water resources and increase of population and the flow of the Syrian refugees. It1 appeared clearly that the geopolitical condition plays a significant role in availability or fewness of water for the same source of water. The study deduced a recommendation meaning; working on benefiting from the Jordan geopolitical condition in exploiting the water harvest and the scientific method in water-storing, and the necessity of working with the international organization to guarantee non-influencing the Jordan geopolitical condition and agreement with the states of adjacency on water shares

    Cardiac disease, including atrial fibrillation (AF), is one of the biggest causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, accounting for one third of all deaths. Cardiac modelling is now a well-established field. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm offer a valuable way of gaining insight into the dynamic behaviors of the heart, in normal and pathological conditions. Great efforts have been put into modelling the ventricles, whilst the atria have received less focus. This research therefore concentrates on developing models of the heart ECG atria using deep learning. The research developed an experimental result on MIT-BIH dataset for modelling myocyte electrophysiology and excitation waves in 1D & 2D tissues. It includes optimizations such as adaptive stimulus protocols. As examples of application, it is used to investigate effects of a novel anion bearing current on heart atrial excitation and the effect of remodeling on atrial myocyte electrical heterogeneity. A computationally efficient CNN anatomically based model of the heart atria is constructed. The 3D-CNN model includes heterogeneous, biophysically detailed electrophysiology and conduction anisotropy. The full model activates in 121 ms in heart rhythm, in close agreement with clinical ECG data. The model is used, with the toolkit, to investigate the function effects of S140G mutation in MIT-BIH dataset which is associated with familial. The 3D-CNN model forms the core of a boundary element model of the P-wave Body Surface Potential (BSP). The CNN model incorporates representations of the heart blood masses. Generated ECGs show qualitative agreement with clinical data. Their morphology is as expected for a healthy person, with a lead duration of 103 ms. The CNN model is used to verify an existing algorithm for focal atrial tachycardia location and in providing explanation for a novel clinical phenomenon, using CNN with 99.27% accuracy. Models of the human atria and body surface potential are constructed. The models are validated against both experimental and clinical data. These models are suitable to use as the platform for further research

    Social Media and the Spiral of Silence: The Case of Kuwaiti Female Students Political Discourse on Twitter

    Get PDF
    The theory of the Spiral of Silence (Noelle-Neumann, 1984), explained why the view of a minority is not presented when the majority view dominates the public sphere. For years the theory of the spiral of silence was used to describe the isolation of minority opinions when seeking help from traditional media, which play a significant role in increasing the isolation. The fear of isolation makes many people afraid of exchanging their views face-to-face with others. The main fear comes from identifying the people who hold a minority opinion. However, with the proliferation of social networks people have moved online to exchange their views, whether they hold a minority or a majority opinion, as long as their identities are concealed. Although women are the majority population in many Arab societies, their voices are still considered a minority view. In addition to the effects described in the spiral of silence, there are other obstacles to self-expression. Religion, culture, tradition, and education may have a negative effect, preventing women’s voice being made public. Social networks have helped to promote women’s voices while removing offline obstacles. This paper uses the theory of the spiral of silence in relation to women’s online political participation in Twitter, even though they may not be willing to share their opinions offline (face-to-face), to learn whether the theory is still useful as an account of online relationships. The results show that the spiral of silence does not explain the behavior of women, either face-to-face or online

    Support Vector Machine Based on Adaptive Acceleration Particle Swarm Optimization

    Get PDF
    Existing face recognition methods utilize particle swarm optimizer (PSO) and opposition based particle swarm optimizer (OPSO) to optimize the parameters of SVM. However, the utilization of random values in the velocity calculation decreases the performance of these techniques; that is, during the velocity computation, we normally use random values for the acceleration coefficients and this creates randomness in the solution. To address this problem, an adaptive acceleration particle swarm optimization (AAPSO) technique is proposed. To evaluate our proposed method, we employ both face and iris recognition based on AAPSO with SVM (AAPSO-SVM). In the face and iris recognition systems, performance is evaluated using two human face databases, YALE and CASIA, and the UBiris dataset. In this method, we initially perform feature extraction and then recognition on the extracted features. In the recognition process, the extracted features are used for SVM training and testing. During the training and testing, the SVM parameters are optimized with the AAPSO technique, and in AAPSO, the acceleration coefficients are computed using the particle fitness values. The parameters in SVM, which are optimized by AAPSO, perform efficiently for both face and iris recognition. A comparative analysis between our proposed AAPSO-SVM and the PSO-SVM technique is presented
