The goal of this study is to develop a model to allocate user requests for tasks into the least possible number of available VMs. The problem is designed as an integer linear programming (ILP) optimization problem. To solve the problem in a practical time span, a heuristic algorithm is also designed.

KNN is known as lazy learner as it doesn't build any decision line from the training data. DT, on the other hand, is a top-down recursive divide-and-conquer technique that used for both classification and regression problems. DT has several advantages e.g, is requires little prior knowledge and non-linear relationship of features don't affect the tree performance. In this paper, we have proposed a new learning algorithm named KNNTree which is a hybrid model of KNN and DT algorithms. The proposed model is basically a decision tree, but leaf nodes are replaced by the KNN classifier.

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical analysis technique has been used to analyze different performance parameters including short circuit current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill-factor, output power, efficiency and others. Furthermore, this study also compares the opto-electronic performance levels of “plasmonic” CdTe TFSCs with “plasmonic” amorphous Si TFSCs. Additionally, investigations of the robustness of “plasmonic” CdTe TFSCs due to temperature variation and the performance of ultrathin CdTe absorber layer (< 250 nm thickness) is also presented. The results of this study show 13.47% increase in efficiency can be achieved for CdTe TFSCs by the use of plasmonic metal nanoparticles.

The main challenge in this task is to increase the bandwidth of speech signals while enhancing their quality, simultaneously. Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown great promise in addressing this challenge, as they can learn complex relationships between the input and output signals. In this study, a joint bandwidth expansion and speech enhancement approach using DNNs have been proposed, which is designed to simultaneously increase the bandwidth of speech signals and reduce noise, while preserving speech quality and intelligibility. This approach leverages the capability of DNNs to simultaneously estimate the missing speech components and the noise profile in the degraded speech signal. The estimated speech components and the noise profile are then used to synthesize a full-band speech signal from a noisy signal with limited bandwidth with improved quality. The network employs three different phases such as oracle, imaged, and noisy phase along with the magnitude spectra to recover high band components. The joint approach demonstrates that the DNN-based bandwidth extension and speech enhancement can be effectively combined to produce high-quality speech signals, outperforms traditional speech enhancement methods, and offers promising solutions for various applications, including speech communication, speech recognition, and speech synthesis.","PeriodicalId":131537,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Communication Engineering (ECCE)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115282196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The architecture is based on non-quadrature phase generation and synthesis. The phase generation is done by splitting the input signal into two equal-phase output vectors and delaying one signal vector to the other; while the phase synthesis is implemented by subjecting the vectors through path selection and variable amplification & attenuation before subtracting the different paths. A two-bit phase path selection was employed for achieving 360° of coarse & fine tuning. EM simulations of the phase shifter architecture was carried out using RT-Duroid 5880 specifications $(varepsilon_{r}=2.2,boldsymbol{tandelta=0.004)}$ at center frequency of 10 GHz. A maximum phase error of $mathbf{1.82^{circ}}$ was obtained for the entire interval of 360 degrees of phase shift. With less than $2^{mathrm{o}}$ of phase error, the proposed phase shifter architecture is feasible for millimeter-wave phase array beamforming applications; as it offers the possibility of lower power consumption with the use of lesser compartmental blocks (i.e. compared to a T-bridge phase shifter which uses a chain of multiple blocks that can lead to excessive losses of more than 30 dB).","PeriodicalId":131537,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Communication Engineering (ECCE)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121586143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
