Foreign Object Debris (FOD) present on airport runways is a huge risk to flights. It can result in grave damage to the air vehicle during crucial operations like takeoff and landing. A high-resolution sensor with ultra high accuracy is needed to detect and locate these small size unwanted articles. Millimeter wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars that operate at low peak power are specially designed to achieve high range resolution. The proposed design tests the evaluation of such a FMCW radar system operating in K band for single and multiple targets. The proposed radar has a low transmit power of 0.1 W and is able to find tiny alien elements of 0.005 m2 Radar Cross Section (RCS) with accuracy of less than 1 m in 500 m range.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117163146","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}

This equipment uses an electromagnetic wave reflection technique produced by its antenna. However, the clarity of the GPR radargram image produced by the system is said to depend on the operating frequency of the system. In order to study the effect of the operating frequency on the GPR radargram, this study developed simulations of the GPR system using three operating frequencies to detect the existence of an underground object, which was divided into a big-sized object and a small-size object. The selected operating frequencies were 0-0.13 GHz, 0-0.5 GHz and 0-1 GHz. The underground object’s depth was set at 2 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm from the ground surface. In the simulations, only the big underground object was detected, except when the object was set on the surface of the ground. Based on the GPR system simulation of underground object detection at 7cm, all the GPR systems developed were able to detect the big underground object, while the GPR system could not discover any small underground object. The GPR radargram produced by the system is able to show the location of the object in the image clearly.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"27 Suppl 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124572806","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}

It is used to help experts or medical practitioner as a second opinion to analyze the blood smear image. It is done manually by some practitioners but it is time consuming and creates confusion as different pathologists give different observations and results as it is highly dependent on the experts’ skills. Other than that, it is also challenging to analyze it manually as there are thousands of images. Some researchers used CAS by applying the machine learning to classify the data. However, significant features must be known before proceeding with classification process. In this paper, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is applied to classify the WBC types to identify Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). It is a better approach as no complex features need to be designed and it is a fast response program. Pre-trained models of deep learning which are AlexNet, GoogleNet and VGG-16 are compared to each other to find the model that can classify better. There are 260 images in IDB-2 database and 242 images in LISC database. Five types of WBC are classified for LISC database while for IDB-2 database, Lymphoblast and Non-Lymphoblast is classified specifically. As a result, for both database, AlexNet achieve the best result in terms of the training and testing accuracy for each class. Training accuracy for IDB-2 is 96.15% while testing accuracy for Lymphoblast and Non-Lymphoblast is 97.74% and 95.29% respectively. Training accuracy by AlexNet for LISC is 80.82% and testing accuracy is the highest for each class except Monocyte. Overall, AlexNet works better than the other two models for classification for both databases.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128010367","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}

Agarose gel was chosen as the sensing layer with two different patterns which are fully coated pattern and spirally coated pattern. The agarose gel acts as a moisture absorbent due to its hydrophilic property. Full and spirally agarose coated fibre synthesis will be compared in terms of their sensitivity and limit of detection. The measured result shows that the spirally agarose-coated fibre has better sensitivity compared to the fully agarose-coated fibre. The increment in relative humidity percentage affected the refractive index of the cladding and contributed to higher leakage of transmitted light. As the relative humidity percentage (RH%) of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) inside the chamber varies from 50 RH% to 85 RH%, the output voltage of the spiral patterned fibre decreases linearly from 9.1 mV to 8.4 mV. It demonstrates the better linearity slope of over 80.95% and highest sensitivity of 0.0162 mV/% compared to the full patterned fibre. Hence, humidity sensor based on spirally agarose-coated POF demonstrates a high-resistant and reliable sensitivity towards the relative humidity of the ambient.","PeriodicalId":142867,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126237968","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}

Genotype results revealed that both art and science groups have a similar allelic frequency which indicates that gene does not affect educational preference. The performance of the MCCB cognitive test was analyzed and it did not differ significantly in both groups. Thus, the study result suggested that educational background will not affect the cognitive performance.
