However, the outputs of these converters contain undesirable harmonic distortion due to the ON and OFF switching. There are a number of modulation schemes employed to control ON-OFF the switching of IGBT (or MOSFET) of Inverters and to mitigate these harmonics effectively. The most popular modulation methods in this regard are Sinusoidal Puls Width Modulation (SPWM) and Selective Harmonics Elimination Puls Width Modulation (SHE-PWM). The common parameters between two techniques are modulation index and the number of pulses. A minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is used as a criterion to comparing results by both techniques. This paper demonstrates the comparison between SPWM and SHE-PWM implemented in the unipolar inverter. To assess and validate the utility of the techniques, simulation results are obtained using MATLAB software.","PeriodicalId":228333,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Social Sciences (ICETSS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127269714","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}

During holidays and vacations, large number of children and adults visit amusement park for fun and enjoyment. The energy consumed by them can be converted into useful energy by modifying the existing rides such as swings, sea-saws, slides and merry-go-round in a way that the playful energy is converted into electrical energy that should be sufficient to light up the park and other small appliances used in the playgrounds. The proposed method can be easily adapted in existing rides and can save energy in emerging countries. The idea of this concept is to develop a culture of green energy from basic mechanisms. The paper is based on the theory behind the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":228333,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Social Sciences (ICETSS)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123148898","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 machining of advanced materials and alloys with greater mechanical and physical properties using conventional machining processes has got more difficult and inconvenient in context with high tool maintenance and high cost of machining in conventional methods. Moreover, the necessity to use new materials and the demand of functional requirements and miniaturization has led to evolution of traditional machining processes. Unconventional machining processes offer an attractive and viable alternative for conventional processes of machining. The Non-Conventional machining methods are implemented in cases where Conventional machining processes are not workable, competent or available in cut-price. This paper aims to provide a comparison between Conventional and Non-Conventional Machining processes that are currently under use/ research in the manufacturing arena.","PeriodicalId":228333,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Social Sciences (ICETSS)","volume":"2002 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129581016","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 6×6 diagonalised k-p Hamiltonian has been solved and Luttinger-Kohn model is used for the computation of light and heavy hole energies. For the injected carrier density of 4 × 1012 / cm, the peak optical gain in TM polarization is found to be 3600/cm at 0.47 eV.

In order to understand technological, and clinical context the proposed framework of this study is a synthesis of UTAUT, and HBM theories respectively, finally trust and doctor-patient relation factors are used to measure individual and patients' perspective about IoT-based health care systems. The proposed framework is validated with a pilot study of 40 respondents from five thickly populated cities of Pakistan. The findings verified that the proposed framework is appropriate to implement with empirical data. Based on the confirmation of the most familiar both theories, in health framework, this study demonstrates Perceived Health Risk which is composed of two independent factors, Perceived Susceptibility (PSS) and Perceived Severity (PS) have a significantly positive effect on cues to action. While in a technological context, Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), and Facilitating Conditions (FC) have a jointly significant positive effect on cues to action to use behavior. Furthermore, both trust and doctor-patient relationship have also a positive effect on cues to action to use behavior. The instrument questionnaire adopted cluster sampling, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to validate and test the hypotheses. The findings may be used and generalized to other similar population as a theoretical basis to improve the health care services of developing countries like Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":228333,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Social Sciences (ICETSS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114744562","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}
