Electrowetting, by applying boundary (line) stress and the macroscopic variation in the contact angle of the surface, operates according to an electric field in order to manipulate small volumes of liquids. Applied electrostatic field makes the conducting drop to move in the direction of the field. Electrowetting phenomenon simulation has been done by application of OpenFoam software in Linux operating system and interFoam solver, by using the method of the volume of fluid (VOF). Numerical modeling has been compared with experimental results has been confirmed, and then has been investigated through three dimensional modeling of the movement of fluid drop in microchannels under electrowetting phenomenon with channel's different heights. An increase in microchannel height at fixed volume of water drop causes the velocity of drop to increase. The movement of the drops under the electrowetting phenomenon stimulation in climbing up the inclined plane in microchannels has been investigated through variable angle toward the horizon. Increasing microchannels angle with the horizon surface decrease the drop ascending velocity.","PeriodicalId":168295,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131810544","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}

One of the main image characteristics is the correlation between neighboring pixels. In other words, in the image segmentation, neighboring pixels are likely to belong to the same cluster. In conventional FCM, cluster assignment is only based on pixels attributes and the way they are distributed, and at the same time pixels spatial distribution and neighboring correlation aren't often taken into consideration. In other words, pixels are perceived by conventional FCM as scattered and an array is used rather than an image matrix. Other drawbacks of conventional FCM algorithm include sensitivity to small changes in intensity in homogeneous regions as well as sensitivity to noise. To put it another way, homogeneous regions in image are segmented due to shadow or small changes in intensity. We attempted to address the problems arising out of conventional FCM by investigating spatial relationship between pixels and using a multiplicative field. The results reveal the accurate function of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":168295,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121116729","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 technique is of a sensor-less strategy to eliminate the need for extra sensors. The technique is shown to reduce complexity and the measurement noise. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, consisting of a sliding mode for control and super-twisting algorithm for differentiation is illustrated through simulation.","PeriodicalId":168295,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI)","volume":"21 99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127137934","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}

Benford's law is an empirical law that describes the distribution of first digits in series of numbers in natural phenomena. We claim that Benford's law describes the inter-arrival time of UDP packets and flows in normal traffic of networks. As a result, any significant anomaly in UDP packets and flows including deliberate intrusions, unwanted errors or in general, network failures, can be identified by checking the first digit distribution inter-arrival time of UDP packets and flows. In a recent work, the relationship between Weibull distribution and Benford's law was studied. In another work, the compliance of the inter-arrival time of UDP packets and flows from Weibull distribution is presented. In this paper, we have proposed a method for using Benford's law for detecting anomalies in inter-arrival time of UDP packets and flows. The proposed method can detect the UDP Flood attack with high detection rate.","PeriodicalId":168295,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI)","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123282383","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}

A scaled model of a conventional medium sized bridge (length of 50 meters, height of 10 meters, and with 2 piers) was examined for the purpose of this study. This method includes installing two sensor nodes with the ability of measuring temperature and humidity on both side of the bridge deck. The data collected by the system including temperature and humidity values are received by a LABVIEW-based software to be analyzed and stored in a database. Proposed SHM monitoring system is equipped by a novel method of using data mining techniques on the database of climatic conditions of past few years related to the location of the bridge to predict the occurrence and severity of future damages. In addition, this system has several alarm levels which are based on analysis of bridge conditions with fuzzy inference method, so it can issue proactive and precise warnings and alarms in terms of place of occurrence and severity of possible damages in the bridge deck to ensure total productive (TPM) and proactive maintenance. Very low costs, increased efficiency of the bridge service, and reduced maintenance costs makes this SHM system a practical and applicable system. The data and results related to all mentioned subjects were thoroughly discussed and the accuracy and reliability of the SHM systems were evaluated. The results show that this system is qualified to be used as a SHM system in medium to large bridges.","PeriodicalId":168295,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115098298","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}

Other optical properties and optical band gaps were calculated using Kramers-Kronig relations on reflectivity curves. Electronic properties were calculated by full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method, within density functional theory (DFT). In this approach, the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the form of the LSDA functional was used for the exchange-correlation potential calculations. Band gap structures and density of states were calculated. Doping impurity changes optical properties of Tin dioxide layers. Metallic impurities, especially copper, decreases the band gap energy and increases conductivity of layers. Value of band gap calculated by DFT method for SnO2 compound obtained 1.2 eV.
