Generally, high gains are offered by boost convertor at expense of extreme duty cycle, which establishes high voltage stresses across switches. Owing to these stresses, high on-state resistance switches ought to be used. The proposed research discusses in detail the design of high efficiency and high gain DC/DC boost converter, which step up lower DC voltages to higher voltages without compromising gain and efficiency by introducing a coupled inductor. The proposed research presents a comparative study on selection of optimal MOSFET to obtain high efficiency and high gain. Thus, several MOSFETs were studied, reviewed and assessed in terms of performance affecting parameters and results of various MOSFETs have been recorded. Resultantly, high efficiency and high gain were achieved with the removal of voltage spikes across switches and switch stresses were also mitigated Moreover, It is required to maintain constant output voltage at load end. Owing to change in voltage at load and source end, there is a constant variation in converter output voltage. Thus, Proportional Integral Derivative controller is employed to attain constant output voltage regardless of variations in source or load. The complete system has been designed and subsequently simulated in MATLAB Simulink to authenticate system operation.","PeriodicalId":308802,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Congress of Advanced Technology and Engineering (ICOTEN)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124840164","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 techniques of facial age prediction and classification are commonly used in the recent years for vitality applications but these techniques are time-consuming. The deep algorithms demonstrated superior efficiency compared to other approaches in order to solve the problem of age estimation. Herein, an age classification model is proposed using the mechanisms of deep age estimation in this article. This work introduces an age recognition model that helps to classify a person's image into a suitable aging group. The proposed model achieved better results in the prediction process with an accuracy reached 85.7% using InceptionV4. The main difference between this work and the relevant related works is that this work focuses on highlighting the performance of four pre-trained models three of them have different architectures; ResNet50, ResNet101, Sequeeze1_0, and InceptionV4.

Persistent power crisis in Bangladesh leads to the necessity of using alternative method of power generation in short, mid and long-term basis. If solar panels be the alternative short-term power source, then per unit production cost is a huge barrier in making this technology popular among the mass. In this research paper, an intelligent wiring design for domestic house layout is carried out. Where, all the necessary electrical layout designs are designed using the Auto-CAD software. Solar panels are also being used for the purpose of load shedding. An intelligent system comprising of Arduino is also used, to control the loads and for energy saving.

Simulations of 1000 times and agent-based modelling was done in which company 1 was assumed to reduce its price to the maximum of 20% leading to switch-over of a maximum of 40% of the customers of company 2, who were price-sensitive. The results of 1000 simulations and agent-based modelling showed that price reduction by company 1 increased its customers significantly, presumably due to switch-over from company 2 and there were significant increase in revenues from two of the sales avenues.
