Active queue control aims to improve the overall communication network throughput, while providing lower delay and small packet loss rate. The basic idea is to actively trigger packet dropping (or marking provided by explicit congestion notification (ECN)) before buffer overflow. In this paper, two artificial neural networks (ANN)-based control schemes are proposed for adaptive queue […]
In this paper, a simplified control algorithm based on unit vector template generation (UVTG) is proposed for a star-delta supported three-phase four-wire (3P-4W) unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) topology for the improvement of different power quality problems. Different topologies reported in literature for 3P-4W UPQC use active compensation for the mitigation of source neutral current […]
Accurate liver segmentation on Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is a challenging task especially at sites where surrounding tissues such as spleen and kidney have densities similar to that of the liver and lesions reside at the liver edges. The first and essential step for computer aided diagnosis (CAD) is the automatic liver segmentation that is […]
Biogeography based optimization (BBO) is a new stochastic force based on the science of biogeography. Biogeography is the schoolwork of geographical allotment of biological organisms. BBO utilizes migration operator to share information between the problem solutions. The problem solutions are known as habitats and sharing of features is called migration. In this paper, BBO algorithm […]
In this paper, distributed generations for risk management of a distribution company (DisCo) in the competitive market environment are introduced. The proposed model for this problem considers a stochastic programming framework in the yearly horizon that is to maximize the expected profit considering the uncertainties of the retail market such as the end user demand […]
In recent years, on the one hand with increasing application of nonlinear loads in power systems and no sinusoidal currents that extracted from system, and on the other hand increasing loads sensitive to power quality and destructive effects of nonlinear loads on power quality of power systems, compensation these loads has been converted to one […]
All oscillators are periodically time varying systems, so to accurate phase noise calculation and simulation, time varying model should be considered. Phase noise is an important characteristic of oscillator design. It defined as the spectral density of the oscillator spectrum at an offset from the center frequency of the oscillator relative to the power of […]
Traffic road sign detection is important to a robotic vehicle that automatically drives on roads. As the colors of most traffic road signs are blue and red, in this paper, we use Hue- Saturation- Intensity (HSI) color space for color based segmentation at first. Using important geometrical features, the road signs are detected perfectly. After […]
In this paper, a Distributed Amplifier (DA) by using HEMT technology for ultra-wideband application is presented. Creation of Distributed integrated circuit has been investigated for approximately seventy years rapidly to developing semiconductor process technologies in the modern IC design. By using of this method, multiple parallel signals are combined and obtain to increase the bandwidth, […]
Soft switching techniques have recently been used for the design of DC-AC converters, in order to achieve better performance, higher efficiency and power density. One of the soft switching techniques applied in inverters is resonant DC links. These topologies have some disadvantage such as irregular current peak, large voltage peaks, uncontrollable pulse width, etc. Another […]
