However, dimming affects the performance of visible light communication system. In visible light communication (VLC) system, illumination and communication both are provided simultaneously using light emitting diode (LED). The dimming control applicable and require for the lighting system. There are different modulation techniques for dimming control in visible light communication. In this paper, only NRZ-OOK modulation method is investigated for different dimming range, transmission distance, beam divergence angle and bit rate. Optisystem Software is the tools that analyze the performance of the system. The result shows that by increasing the link from 10 m to 63 m, the obtained BER is 6.16656×10−9, Q factor is 5.6919 and 400kb/s data speed. However, the achieved data rate is still unsatisfactory for VLC system. We increased the data rate from 400kb/s to 2Mb/s, but the distance between transmitter and receiver decreased to 3m by maintaining BER of 1.33827×10−9. It means that high-speed data transmission by using NRZ-OOK is for short distance only. The scope of this research excluded the following parameters which are shadowing, mobility, multipath interference and intersymbol interference for multicarrier modulation. These are the related research topic which is for future work.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121999222","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}

To meet the demand of consumers, the agriculture industry has been improving their farming methods and techniques for maximum efficiency. This paper is focused on electronics, embedded systems and wireless technology to be integrated with farm monitoring, particularly in poultries. The system consists of two; master and slave. An array of sensors is used to measure the ambient temperature, ammonia at ppm level and humidity of the hall for each slave. The readings are then transmitted wirelessly over radio frequency by serial communication using HC-12 RF module to master for further data processing. The design process of both master and slave involved the interfacing of ATMEL ATMega328 with several analog sensors, passive and active components, LCD, buzzer, relay output, monetary push button and light indicator. The fan output parameter is controlled based on the set point defined from sensor readings. Furthermore, PID controller was integrated to optimize the output control method, hence optimizing hall condition which results to better output for the farm. The system has been successfully implemented and tested at Myra Farm & Services, located at Kalumpang, Tanjung Malim, Perak.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127206208","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}

Mostly, the Man In The Middle (MITM) attack happens in this stage by hijacking active session variables, manipulating files and objects. Although there are few algorithms for data protection in the Cloud, However, such algorithms are still prone to attack, especially in real-time data movement due to the mechanism employed. This paper proposes a secure auto-detection of an injected object based on hash function labeling; a one-time security header for transferable files that protects an unauthorized injection. The labeling header allows two-way data binding; DOM based communication between local and cloud computing that triggers automated acknowledgment immediately after file modification. Two encryption functions in PHP has been used for detecting injected object; bcrypt methods in Laravel and MD5 that generate 32 random keys. Total 1600 different type of files were used for evaluation of the proposed algorithm, results show that 87% of injected objects were correctly detected.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128533601","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}

Planar arrays have become the suitable antenna array configurations for massive MIMO since they provide directive beams. In this paper, planar array is proposed with square and rectangular arrangements based on 2 × 2 antenna elements as one subarray. Then, array factor (AF) for the planar array based on the subarray with up to 64 antenna elements is calculated to analyze the effects of inter element spacing on large antenna array characteristics. It is observed that large number of antenna elements contribute to large number of side lobes in the AF pattern and higher directivity at the expense of narrower HPBW. Inter element spacing less than 0.51 produces lower directivity and higher HPBW. Therefore, inter element spacing equal or larger than 0.51 is suitable to achieve higher directivity for large antenna array applications.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133920839","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}

However, the conventional Wilkinson power divider features a large component footprint because of its quarter-wavelength line components and narrow bandwidth. In this paper, two modified Wilkinson power divider are proposed in order to achieve size reduction and wide bandwidth. The first structure presents Wilkinson power divider using compact folded step impedance transmission lines (FSITL) rather than the uniform microstrip line design for operating center frequency of 3 GHz. While the second structure presents the FSITL with delta-stub for 2.4 GHz. The proposed folded microstrip line structure is capable of reducing the size of the power divider circuit. The impedance ratio of SITLs is taken into account as the total electrical length of the lines for every wavelength 01 and 02 in order to enhance size reduction to the optimum. The study managed to get an overall dimension of 15 mm × 9.5 mm for the first proposed design achieving a reduction of 75.6 % and bandwidth of 4 GHz. For the second proposed structure, the size was 15 mm × 15 mm with a reduction of 56 %. The proposed structures provided an extra 80 % fractional bandwidth based on the −15 dB return loss as a reference. The proposed power divider used RT/duroid 5880 substrate with 0.38 mm thickness. Simulation and measurement results indicated that the modified power divider showed equal power division, good phase balance, high isolation between output ports, and good return loss better than −15 dB covering the operating frequency range.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134475961","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 goal is finding the reason for failure in IT project form management perspectives. The designed survey, examines the relationship between IT system development and IT project management. This survey, tries to find the facts about IT processes and IT project handling through the live experiences of IT experts. The important note is that instead of asking participants explicitly that what happened to their project as case studies, they have asked about their opinions and experiences in aforementioned field. Therefore, answers can study the participants' real experiences on many real projects instead of the special case study. The survey indicates that most important characteristics of projects management that should be considered in new IT models are quality management and time management. The current IT development models do not make any autonomous authority position for project manager professionals and disarms software project managers in their professional duties. The survey clarified that embedding PERT and PDM in an IT development model facilitate the enable the project managers to have a bright perspective and facilitate the implementation phase.

Reduced-reference metrics make use of side-information that is transmitted to the receiver for estimating the quality of the received sequence with low complexity. In this paper, novel Edge-based Dissimilarity Reduced-Reference video quality metric (EDIRR) is proposed. The metric is evaluated by finding the dissimilarity between the edge information of original and distorted sequences. The edge degradation can be detected in this manner as perceived video quality is highly associated with edge structural. In this paper, the aim is to construct a novel RR video quality metric based on edge dissimilarity for video quality assessment. The proposed metric is derived from the motivation that human perception understands an image mainly according to its low-level features, specifically the edges, which are a measure of the significance of a local structure. From the results obtained, there is a moderate positive correlation between the proposed metric score with the subjective scores in the overall observation but with correlation for tested sequences with a lower DMOS. EDIRR, with LCC of 0.938, outperforms PSNR and VIFP on wireless distortion induced sequences and the proposed metric, with LCC of 0.988, performs on a par with PSNR, SSIM and VIFP for H.264 compressions distortions.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115246175","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}

An intelligent method for predicting the optimal adsorption capacity for removal of pollutants in wastewater based on ANN is proposed to reduce the percentage error and obtain optimal treatment efficiency. The primary focus is to identify the operating parameters which affect adsorption capacity. Using the parameters as input factors, the proposed system is trained and tested to obtain an optimal adsorption capacity to remove pollutants. Evaluation and validation of the proposed method on real data depend on the mean absolute error (MAE), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error(RMSE), normalized mean square error(NMSE) and correlation of efficiency.
