The most of the earlier works rely on diminishing the higher derivation of the fuzzy model in front of the higher derivatives of the real system. However, the smooth compositions are m-time differentiable and will not diminish. This has motivated to derive the relation of required fuzzy rules with the arbitrary accuracy for function approximation through the smooth fuzzy model. The originality of the work is that the approximation error and the number of required fuzzy rules in this paper, rely on the structure of the fuzzy model and the involved s-t compositions, beside the nonlinear properties of the real plant, through a reliable mathematical formulation. Hence, we have presented a prediction-correction algorithm to include all the main factors. It is proved that number of the required rules are lower than those of the earlier works to gain the same level of model accuracy.","PeriodicalId":296506,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"12 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131687992","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, DC microgrids (DCMGs) have gained the attention for their higher power efficiency and simpler configuration compared to AC microgrids (ACMGs). Although DCMGs seem better than ACMGs, lack of protection standard is a critical problem when operating DCMGs. Since DC fault response is completely different as AC fault, AC protection methods cannot be used for DCMGs. In this paper, a ring bus DCMG model is simulated using computer software PSCAD. A combined protection scheme based on cable current derivatives is introduced. This protection scheme not only detects and localizes low resistance DC faults very fast, but also accurately handles high resistance DC faults. The reliability of this scheme is proved by the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":296506,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133384988","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 model focuses on signaling pathways that involve frequently altered cancer genes.

We choose lasso because it inherently performs variable selection during optimization which leads to an explainable model.

Moreover, moving towards automation also comes with diverse hurdles; users can upload fake images like screenshots or taking pictures from computer screens, etc. To tackle this problem a hybrid approach is proposed to provide only authentic images to algorithm for damage classification as input.

A comparison of using this model with three different backbone convolutional neural networks is presented. The evaluation is done using the metrics precision, recall, F1-measure, false-positive rate, false-negative rate, specificity, accuracy, and the number of frames per second. All models are tested on the benchmark dataset CDNet, which is a dataset of videos for moving objects under different conditions like low frame rate, shadows, and dynamic background.
