Among the medical applications of accelerometers, fitness systems have used this component extensively but it still holds prominent room for deployment in an ambient smart home system to monitor daily life. In this paper, a novel accelerometer-based motion recognition system using statistical features have been proposed. Axial components of accelerometer have been processed statistically to produce discriminating features values from each activity. The proposed system was validated against accelerometer dataset and achieved satisfactory accuracy of 79.58% with random forest. The proposed system can be applied to health monitoring systems, interactive games and for examination of behaviors in outdoor and indoor environments.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129305034","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}

Different nozzle pressure ratios are used to simulate the supersonic flow for detail study of supersonic flow behavior around vehicle in the presence of jet plume. It is found that Plume at different nozzle pressure ratio changed the flow structure around vehicle and its sonic boom signature strength. The strength of sonic boom signature is varied with the change of nozzle pressure ratios. It is observed that highly under-expanded jet plume of nozzle produces very steeper shock which reduces the dip of sonic boom N-wave signature. In this effort structure of plumes for different nozzle pressure ratios are also investigated. It is observed that higher order schemes of minimum second order are to be used to capture the free shear layers, shock train and mixing layers.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127075168","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}

Novel aspect of the model is inclusion of supplied power in the state space and inclusion of difference between supplied and demanded power in the reward function of the model. This inclusion allows for supplied and demanded power of the vehicle to be different which is not catered for in previous work. Another advantage of the proposed model over existing approaches is proactive nature of control, in that, the control policy restricts the supplied power when the vehicle is running low on fuel and/or battery charge level. Such control can save precious fuel and avoid the situation of being stranded on a highway with empty fuel tank. Simulation based case study has been included for demonstration of the results from optimal policy.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131074404","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}

It is a form of non-contact method which is suitable for cases where application of contact devices could alter the frequency of structure. This paper covers the study based on vision system that performs amplitude and frequency measurement of a cantilever beam in near real time, using image processing and computer vision toolbox in MATLAB. The vision system then detects changes in amplitude followed by feedback mechanism to ensure operation at resonance frequency. The system includes a high speed camera which is able to detect amplitude and frequency of cantilever beam vibrating at a frequency with the help of mechanical exciter. The high speed camera captures images of the beam, that are processed by a MATLAB script for evaluation of amplitude and frequency. To locate amplitude of the vibrating beam, centroid recognition technique is used which tracks the centroids of the beam in consecutive frames and plots number of pixels moved by the centroid with respect to time. Later, frequency is found out on the basis of intensity change over the time. Amplitude analysis is done at different frequencies which are automatically adjusted with the help of microcontroller to determine the resonance point. Exciter continues to vibrate at the resonant frequency until a change in amplitude is detected, implying the formation of crack. At which point the system adjusts its vibrating frequency accordingly to adjust with the new resonant frequency. This paper covers proper experimental procedure backed with the results.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134152259","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}

MicroRNAs were a group of single-chain RNAs consisting of 18-25 bases, which are capable of combining with the 3’- UTR (untranslated regions) of the mRNA transcribed from the original gene, so as to control the expression of the target gene by inhibiting the translation of its mRNA(s). Accumulative evidence has manifested that microRNAs were closely correlated with the initiation and development of carcinomas. The expression of microRNAs could vary a lot across different stages in the development of cancerous cells with corresponding roles in each stage, including promoting the propagation, accelerating metastasis, and both functions combined. In this respect, we might intervene in the advances of carcinomas and even cure cancers by regulating the expressions of relevant microRNAs. The aberrant expression of microRNAs of cancerous cells give rise to potential targeted diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Moreover, further study of microRNAs might provide novel approaches for combating cancer without affecting normal cells in the molecular level. Herein, we reviewed the functions, mechanisms, and therapeutic utilities of microRNAs in the progression of colorectal cancer cells.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"381 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124741345","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}

This scheme requires quadrature de-modulation/ down-conversion of the received signal at the front end; followed by quadrature hybrid at IF stage. The image rejection ratio (IRR) depends on the amplitude imbalance and phase imbalance of this quadrature hybrid. The design of C-Band broadband quadrature hybrid; based on 3-stage micro-strip cascaded branch-line topology; has been proposed for this receiver. The proposed broadband quadrature hybrid exhibits 66 % fractional bandwidth corresponding to measured amplitude balance of better than ±0.85 dB, phase imbalance better than 3 degrees, return loss and isolation better than 15 dB, in the frequency range (4-8 GHz). This quadrature hybrid shows tight 3-dB quadrature coupling response in much wider band; as compared to earlier published design schemes, to the best of our knowledge. This quadrature hybrid integrated in the proposed millimeter wave receiver (32-36 GHz) achieved IRR better than 20 dB in the whole frequency band.","PeriodicalId":335329,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127809198","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}
