A multi-frequency cost function is implemented, where the cost function is a combination of VSWR and efficiency. A bandwidth of 108% (about 1.3GHz) centered at 1.2 GHz has been achieved using three resistances on a 2nd iteration Hilbert wire monopole. The proposed ultra wideband 2nd iteration Hilbert wire monopole antenna has a minimum radiation efficiency of 30% over the entire frequency band, and a maximum gain of 5.9dB.

Our objective is to mine the data of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (rrS). n e s e are tutoring systems which offer the ability to respond to individualized student ne&.

Also some questions of the quizzes were found to be useless. It was concluded that data mining was able to extract some important patterns and rules >om the students’ answers which were hidden before and which are helpfir1 to both the students and the expert. Data mining is a set of methods used as a step in the Knowledge Discovery (KD) process to distinguish previously unknown relationships, rules and patterns within large volumes of data [l]. One of data mining tasks is &scription i.e. to describe databases in terms of patterns which human can understand and make use of In our research, we are trying to mine databases resulting from Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). These are Computerbased tutoring systems which achieve their intelligence by representing pedagogical decisions about how to teach as well as information about the learner. This allows for greater versatility by altering t k system’s interactions with students. Intelligent tutoring systems have been shown to be highly effective at increasing student’s motivation and performance [2]. 0-7803-8575-6/04/$20.00 02004 IEEE The goal of data mining in ITS is to automatically assess student knowledge of the concepts underlying a tutorial topic, and use this assessment to direct remediation of knowledge. It does not require any knowledge about the subject being taught [3]. Thus our main objective is to investigate the application of data mining to provide a reliable way to determine a student knowledge status i.e. what a student does and does not know during the course of instruction. Once student knowledge can be assessed automatically without human intervention, computer4ased educational system can be individually tailored to each student’s leaming needs.

El-Bardini","doi":"10.1109/ICEEC.2004.1374472","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICEEC.2004.1374472","url":null,"abstract":"The problem considered is that of identibing and control of an unknown rapidly time varying system from input-output data. In this paper a hybrid evolutionary algorithm is described which attempts to model the rapidly time varying parameters. The question of stabiliw is handled to show the converges condition of the proposed mtthod. Results show that this approach is capable of high accuracy for test problems. In recent years, there has been a rapid development of online process control technique. The use of process computers in the control and optimization of dynamic systems of many industrial application is increasing. This has attracted the attention of many researches toward online identification and control schemes. Much work has been done in the area of identifying time-invariant system. [l] An important application of on-line schemes is when the system parameters are time varying where is absolutely necessary to track parameters variation in real time. Some examples of such application are robotic systems, aerospace systems , chemical reactor system and others [2]. System modeling entails constructing a model which behaves similarly to a system whose structure is unknown based on observed data from systems. However , most of the identification methods , such as those based on least mean squares or maximum likelihood estimates, are search techniques based on gradient descent. It is well known that such approaches often fail to find the optimum solution if the parameters of the system are rapidly time varying [3] , the error function is also constructed to be differentiable. In recent years the capability of trained neural networks for approximating arbitrary input-output mapping can find an important application in devising procedures for the identification of unknown dynamical plants in order to control them. It is found in [4] that applying a neural network based controller could result in drastic over parameterization in the number of coefficient estimation made. Evolutionary algorithm differ from traditional methods. They are not fundamentally limited by restrictive assumptions about the search space , such as assumptions concerning continuity , existence of derivatives , and other matters [5-111. Therefore , Evolutionary algorithms are finding increasing applications in the area of system identification. but one of the significant draw back of these algorithms is the time computation in which limit their applications in real time system , for this reason this paper proposes a hybrid evolutionary algorithm has the ability to overcome the problem of identifying …","PeriodicalId":180043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, 2004.

In order to get tunable characteristics of the proposed inductance, a translinear CCII is implemented for its controllable series parasitic resistance at port X. After achieving a frequency characterization of the proposed CCII, we analyze the frequency limitations of the conventional CCII based tunable floating simulated inductance which is independent of tuning current. To overcome these limitations, a pole/zero compensation strategy is applied. Therefore, a series passive resistance Rs=650Q is used and a high active negative resistance is introduced by means of CCII's. Simulation results show that the proposed compensation technique enlarges the tuning range of the inductance. Moreover, a special arrangement is proposed so that the compensation solution is insensitive to the control current tuning the inductance value.","PeriodicalId":180043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, 2004.
