To decrease their dependability on fossil fuels, one solution is to electrify the vehicles by converting the fossil fuels based cars into electric vehicles (EVs) that will not only reduce dependability on fossil fuels but also play a key role in reducing the greenhouse effect. However, electrifying the vehicles increases the electrical load that has a significant impact on power system and upcoming smart grid which may eventually reduce the power system reliability. In this paper, the reliability and economic assessment of micro-grid consisting of renewables only, considering non-controllable loads as well as controllable EVs load, is investigated. In order to reduce the adverse effects of EVs on the micro-grid performance, dedicated G2V and V2G periods, taking social behavior into account, are proposed. Hourly load variations of IEEE-RTS-79 are used to examine the proposed model. Sensitivity analysis is well presented to analyze the impact of different V2G coordination levels on the micro-grid reliability.","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134592586","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}

Recently, a low-power digital system is an essential technological need due to the high demand for portable devices with less weight. The design of an efficient digital circuit in term of low-power has become a very challenging problem. Therefore, teaching low-power digital design for electrical and computer engineering students is valuable, and it is essential to have practical laboratory exercises available. The laboratory experiments use a field programmable gate array (FPGA) as a design platform for circuit implementation by the students. Remote laboratories offer on-line experiments which are not restricted to a geographical place and allow performing laboratory experiments using real instruments and obtaining real data.","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"160 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129023374","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 antenna is fabricated on Rogers RO4350 board and the measured results had a good agreement with simulated ones. The fabricated antenna is compared to a reference antenna (a dipole antenna).

Secondly, linear prediction cepstral coefficients (LPCCs) are calculated. After that delta and delta-delta of LPCCs are extracted. Variance and kurtosis of LPCCs, delta LPCCs and delta-delta LPCCs are extracted as features of lung sounds. Classification of lung sounds is conducted using support vector machine (SVM). Training and testing data are chosen randomly from 42 subjects using cross-validation. Both numbers of testing and training subjects are 21. The obtained recognition percent is 95.24%. So, new classification algorithm is conducted between polyphonic and stridor sounds of lung sounds.

In the recent years, social media websites have been spreading widely, and their users are increasing rapidly. Automotive industry is one of the largest economic sectors in the world with more than 90 million cars and vehicles. Automotive industry is highly competitive and requires that sellers, automotive companies, carefully analyze and attend to consumers' opinions in order to achieve a competitive advantage in the market. Analysing consumers' opinions using social media data can be very great way for the automotive companies to enhance their marketing targets and objectives. In this paper, a sentiment analyses on a case study in the automotive industry is presented. Text mining and sentiment analysis are used to analyze unstructured tweets on Twitter to extract the polarity, and emotions classification towards the automotive classes such as Mercedes, Audi and BMW. We can note from the emotions classification results that, “joy” category is better for BMW comparing to Mercedes and Audi, The “sadness” percentage is larger for Audi and Mercedes comparing to BMW. Furthermore, we can note from the polarity classification that BMW has 72% positive tweets compared 79% for Mercedes and 83% for Audi. In addition, the results show that BMW has 8% negative polarity compared 18% for Mercedes and 16% for Audi.","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123119469","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 improve the impedance BW, a rectangular slot is etched in the bottom edges of a rectangular radiating patch and the feed line is modified in staircase manner with single step junction. As a result, the antenna achieves a wide operational impedance BW ranging from 3.25 to 40 GHz for return loss (RL) > 10 dB. Also, a band rejection with center frequency at 5.5 GHz is introduced to avoid the interference caused by WLAN system. The rejected band, inherent in the antenna characteristics, is created by etching a thin rectangular slot in the patch. The proposed antenna dimensions are 35×30×1.6 mm3 was built using FR-4 substrate. In comparison to other antenna designs devoted to enhance the impedance BW for future UWB applications, this antenna has simple structure suitable for fabrication and integration. RL, peak realized gain, radiation efficiency, surface current distribution, and the effect of varying geometric parameters of the antenna on the notch band are studied using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS).","PeriodicalId":227019,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129667649","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}
