In this paper, an assessment of missing weather data in small data sets is introduced utilizing correlation and meta-analysis of different weather parameters like temperature, humidity and wind speed. Auto regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), a well-known artificial model and widely used for weather prediction, is evaluated on various sets with missing data. The results of an univariate and multivariate ARIMA model are presented to come up to the best model for each feature and parameter. Finally, the most accurate model is tested against real life data, revealing that imputation of missing data increases prediction accuracy for almost 50%.","PeriodicalId":272590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123977336","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 artificial bias algorithm is presented, and computer simulations for missile avoidance are presented in various situations.

This is a significant security risk for both the manufacturer and the end user. Logic Locking is a prevalent method for tackling such problems. In Logic locking, the designer performs minor architectural modifications in the design to conceal the functionality from any malicious parties. In this paper, we have analyzed logic locking schemes like Encrypt Flip-Flop and D-MUX. These schemes have been used to encrypt a Y86-64 processor and the encrypted design was synthesized to obtain a locked netlist. To further enhance the security, a key generation module was added to the design. The key parameters such as resource utilization and hamming distance were compared for all the cases. ML-based logic locking attacks are emerging techniques for efficient key retrieval. Some of the ML-based attacks from both oracle-less and oracle-guided classes were analyzed in this study. One of the attacks which was discussed called SWEEP was implemented and tested on all the implemented encrypted designs.","PeriodicalId":272590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121288149","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}

Risks and market challenges have shifted as the pandemic progresses. Crisis management repositioning has left many firms cash-poor. Now, firms are facing labour shortages. Standard remuneration policies and practices need revision to keep core talent, stabilise teams from burn-out and to move forward strategically. This paper revises essential remuneration review considerations for crisis management in a new Covid-19 context. Current trends are discussed, as restrictions and pandemic uncertainties lift, allowing greater accuracy in risk scenario planning. Reliable data, fit for analytics and complex modelling, are making results more meaningful. The unique contribution of this research is the Covid-19 post-survival organisational perspective that can transform remuneration modelling. The scope extends beyond the governance level, and considers semantics and dynamic risk planning. Specific scenarios are updated from lessons learned from financial crisis management. Conclusions take a holistic view of how data can enhance remuneration practices to add value for organisations in the current Covid-19 climate. The paper advocates post crisis remuneration review that includes complex modelling with dynamic risk analysis for strategic planning in mid-term scenarios.","PeriodicalId":272590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127030572","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}

In this work, we propose a transistor-based memristor emulator circuit, which is designed in TSMC 0.18 µm n-well CMOS process technology with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The results show that the proposed emulator circuit can be switched with a low input voltage of 180 mV and its current-voltage characteristics produces pinched hysteresis loops in the range 15 MHz to 100 MHz, which makes the emulator suitable for high frequency applications.

The goal of individuals gathering at Skytrax and Tripadvisor is to make better decisions based on the actual experiences of other customers who have flown with airlines. We gathered online reviews submitted by consumers who have flown with Bangladesh airlines in the past. The data was collected from internet reviews from 4 Bangladesh airlines, totaling 1095 reviews. With the obtained data, topic modeling and sentiment analysis were utilized to determine key phrases in the online reviews. Through frequency analysis, the topic modeling revealed that ‘airline,’ ‘service,’ ‘crew,’ and ‘food’ were essential concerns in the trip. Furthermore, the results indicated that the primary issue, which may impact customer discontent, was delay, but ‘food’ can make customers satisfied through sentiment analysis, as the result indicates the ‘Food and beverage’ topic with no. of highest word count ‘good’, ‘biman’ and ‘service’ keyword in the topic modeling.","PeriodicalId":272590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127814285","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}

Digital devices today emanate all kinds of unnatural signals. Since these signals are not found in nature, they are the reason these signals are not assimilated normally into the earth, and consequently, these signals negatively affect the environment as well as living things. These signals also affect the Human Brain/Mind. To cure or to reduce the effect of these signals it is important to use natural signals like fractal Signals.

However, one of the most important disadvantage of this converter is limited duty cycle, which is less than 50%. Therefore, the capacitors used for shaping the main line voltage occupy an important place on the circuit. Another disadvantage of the converter is that the transformer uses the B-H curve unidirectional way. This causes the transformer to be selected larger when compared to other converters for the same power value. In this study, it has been suggested use forward converter with active clamp to which provides using the B-H curve bidirectional way with clamp capacitor, extending duty cycle more than %50 and increasing power density solve these disadvantages of two switch forward converter for welding machines.
