In this study, a multi-objective function for operating costs and emission with the augmented ɛ-constraint method has been considered; fuzzy decision-making process has been employed to obtain the best solution.

The goal is to find a rule for choosing the most appropriate numbers of filters. The benchmark datasets are principally diverse CIFAR-10 and EEACL26 to use a common network architecture with three convolutional layers whose numbers of filters are changeable. Heterogeneity and sensitiveness of CIFAR-10 with infiniteness and scalability of EEACL26 are believed to be relevant enough for generalization and spreading of the appropriateness of filter numbers. The appropriateness rule is drawn from top accuracies obtained on 10 × 20 × 21 parallelepipeds for three image sizes. They show, knowing that the number of filters of the first convolutional layer should be set greater for the more complex dataset, the rest of appropriate numbers of filters are set at integers, which are multiples of that number. The multipliers make a sequence similar to a progression, e.g., it may be 1, 3, 9, 15 or 1, 2, 8, 16, etc. With only those multipliers, such a rule-of-progression does not give the number of filters for the first convolutional layer.","PeriodicalId":42365,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Control and Communication Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"157 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44382804","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 resonant circuit can be formed by using transformer leakage inductance and the parasitic capacitances of the switches. The converters feature soft switching of semiconductors over a wide range of operating conditions. This is achieved with decreased energy circulation when compared to existing topologies with symmetric control and with fewer semiconductors than in those with phase-shift control. The topologies can be implemented in renewable, supercapacitor, battery, fuel cell, and DC microgrid applications.

It shows evident-mathematical and 3D-imaging proofs of the graphical optimization method with L1 Norm simulations and algorithms. At present, Linear/Nonlinear Optimization mathematical methods constitute the choice of preference in getting improvements for erosion and corrosion simulations- determinations in general tribology, biotribology and tribocorrosion. The method(s) developed are classical numerical optimization settings for objective functions, programming optimization and simulations, and special software for imaging in 3D. Results are diverse and the range of their applications is wide. First, the article provides a definite formal demonstration of the nonlinear graphical optimization both in numerical results and in imaging. Then, the authors propose the development of programming optimization and mathematical proofs-algorithms of the integral-differential model for various models. Subsequently, an overview of stochastic erosion methods based on Markov Chain is presented in the article. Finally, the second generation of tribology models is defined and conceptually explained. To summarise, the article comprises new findings towards modernization of tribology, biotribology and tribocorrosion models, gathering innovative research branches for future extension of the mathematical modelling progress.

Different kinds of signal detection techniques, namely, zero forcing (ZF), minimum mean square error (MMSE) and beamforming (BF), are used at the receiver end for signal detection. The performance of the system is analyzed by calculating BER vs SNR for each of the above techniques separately. The present work has been thoroughly analyzed and implemented using MATLAB. On the basis of the results obtained, it is summarized that as the values of SNR increase, BER decreases for ZF and MMSE and it almost vanishes to zero even for low SNR values if BF is used. Although ZF and MMSE are suitable for designing a conventional MIMO system with 4 antenna elements, it becomes too difficult for a large number of antenna elements due to its complexity of calculating the inverse of a (N × N) matrix. Based on the results analyzed so far, it is concluded that beamforming (BF) is a suitable technique for designing a system that has a large number of antenna elements at the base station. A further improved system with enhanced performance regarding lower BER for even smaller values of SNR is designed in the present study, consisting of 8 antennas at the base station. The results obtained are enthusiasm-provoking and encouraging for further studies to develop a concept for next-generation wireless communication systems with an optimum design.","PeriodicalId":42365,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Control and Communication Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"69 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41945023","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}
