But the behaviour of open-ended piles is complicated than closed-end piles due to the formation of soil clogging phenomenon. The current work examines the effect of pile dimensions and its related clogging behaviour through image analysis. Solid and hollow half-section aluminium piles of different elastic modulus and dissimilar cross-sectional areas are used for the study. A scaling factor of 10 has been used for modelling the pile. The modelled piles are subjected to Standard Penetration Test (SPT) which simulates the application of impact loads in crushed stones (4.75-2.36 mm) of various soil densities. The experimental progression is grabbed through the digital single-lens reflex camera and sequential pictures captured during the test are analyzed through open-source software GeoPIV which is based on Digital Image Correlation technique (DIC). The GeoPIV software helps in measuring deformation behaviour and strain path over a Region of Interest (ROI). The examination of DIC test results revealed that for hollow piles there is a surge in volumetric shear strain contours about pile shaft region. This could be due to the soil plug formation at the tip of hollow pile irrespective of infill density. For solid piles, strain concentrations are observed closer to pile head due to its greater flexural rigidity than hollow piles.","PeriodicalId":354259,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Communication, Computing and Industry 4.0 (C2I4)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122591105","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}

Conventional PV fed systems has poor efficiency due to its highly fluctuating input. In this paper, Discrete Sliding Mode Control strategy is introduced to improve the performance of Cuk converter so that the controller is robust, flexible and feasible with any digital hardware. The controller robustness is verified by introducing reference, input and load transients at different interval of time and the system stability is ensured. The output voltage settling time of the proposed converter is improved 50% and Percentage error in output voltage is zero.

The channel estimator utilizes the path-based channel model that can be characterized by a path delay, a Doppler scaling factor, and an attenuation factor. Assuming MIMO-OFDM with two transmitters and multiple receivers, the proposed estimator first employs orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm for initial estimation of path gains and delay values. Then, an iterative algorithm named double focusing interchangeably employs delay focusing and Doppler focusing approaches for channel estimation. The proposed approach is evaluated presented in terms of average mean square error and symbol error rate for 16QAM signaling with different residual Doppler spreading factors.

Furthermore, LCL Filters are naturally resonant which affect the stability of the system. To tackle the resonance problem, generally passive damping methods are a simple and straight forward solution but it effects the efficiency due to the insertion of resistance in LCL components. It is important to explore the alternatives for the passive damping methods to improve the overall system efficiency. This paper presents, the design of reference current tracking controller based on the LCL filter Capacitor feedback current using active damping approach. Active damping technique used in the proposed controller helps to suppress the resonant peak and injects high quality power into the grid. Further, the impact of LCL filter parameters on robustness of the proposed controllers is studied.

The proposed idea is to use low-cost rewritable FPGA based evaluation kits as emulators that mimic the power systems hardware and power simulators. These emulators are programmed with models of the actual hardware to generate the required inputs for the Unit Under Test (UUT) and respond like the real hardware in response to the outputs from the UUT. Thus, a closed-loop test is facilitated without the need for elaborate and costly test setup. The challenge is developing a program to closely emulate the real hardware.

Although many individuals who suffer breast cancer have no family history but women who have blood relatives suffering from the same disease are at higher risk. Besides, a high risk of developing breast cancer includes aging, genes, thick breast tissues, obesity, and radiation exposure. Malignant and benign are two different types of tumors and to distinguish between these two, physicians need a reliable diagnostic procedure. The mammography method is used to detect breast cancer but radiologists exhibit significant variation in interpretation. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is commonly adopted in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Moreover, early diagnosis is vital to treatment with a better chance of success. Classification and data mining attributes are an efficient and effective way of categorizing results. Using machine learning models that will play a vital role in early prediction. In this paper, we present a prediction of breast cancer with different machine learning algorithms compare their prediction accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and performance parameters. For Simulation purposes, we are using the Wisconsin Dataset of Breast Cancer (WDBC). After analysis, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model has achieved 96.25% accuracy with AUC of 99.4.
