Researchers mobilized to manage and limit the spread of the virus, and multiple artificial intelligence-based systems are designed to automatically detect the disease. Among these systems, voice-based ones since the virus have a major impact on voice production due to the respiratory system's dysfunction. In this paper, we investigate and analyze the effectiveness of cough analysis to accurately detect COVID-19. To do so, we distinguished positive COVID patients from healthy controls. After the gammatone cepstral coefficients (GTCC) and the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) extraction, we have done the feature selection (FS) and classification with multiple machine learning algorithms. By combining all features and the 3-nearest neighbor (3NN) classifier, we achieved the highest classification results. The model is able to detect COVID-19 patients with accuracy and an f1-score above 98 percent. When applying FS, the higher accuracy and F1-score were achieved by the same model and the ReliefF algorithm, we lose 1 percent of accuracy by mapping only 12 features instead of the original 53.","PeriodicalId":52164,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostyka","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42546133","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 phenomenon is localized in defects created within insulation during the manufacture process and the cable installation. The cavity defect is among the most known defects within the insulating material filled with different gases and having various forms. Under electrical stress, the PDs occur and lead with time to a cable failure. The PDs simulation in cavity defect within cable insulation has became an important tool for a complementary understanding of the experimental task. The plasma model has been considered in last decade as an alternative to describe physically and chemically the PDs mechanism versus the other models such as the capacitance, conductance model. Using plasma model our work aims to simulate the PDs in cavity defect within cable insulation by showing the parameters influence such as the type of gas contained in the cavity, the voltage magnitude and frequency imposed on the insulation on their occurrence through its occurrence mechanisms. This helps to assess the PDs severity on the insulation system to carry out its diagnosis and therefore to have an effective reliability of cable.","PeriodicalId":52164,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostyka","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43195914","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}

A 3-dimensional CFD model founded on continuity, momentum, energy, in addition elasticity equations has been implemented. The analysis is performed for a bearing with different journal speeds (1000-3000rpm) and eccentricity ratios (0.1-0.9). The cavitation effect was considered using the model of Zwart–Gerber–Balamri multiphase flow model. The bearing material elastic deformation was considered by implementing the two-way FSI technique through ANSYS-FLUENT 2019 R2. A comparative study of the oil film temperature, thermal pressure, also the load capacity by the bearing has been performed. By comparing the current work's oil film temperature results with those obtained by Ferron et al (1983), with a maximum deviation between the results not exceeding 3 percent, the mathematical model was validated. The findings demonstrate that, once the cavitation consequence is taken into account, the lubricant film pressure decreases. Furthermore, at what time the bearing rotates at greater eccentricity ratios and rotational speeds, more deformation material of the bearing is seen. The current research may help in predicting the bearing performance parameters in real-world situations.","PeriodicalId":52164,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostyka","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45270990","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 annulus produced between two concentric and vertically eccentric circular cylinders is positioned horizontally, and its internal wall is uniformly heated while isothermally cooling the external wall. The range of present conditions for Rayleigh number is 5×10^4 ≤ Ra≤ 6.48×10^6, and Pr = 0.703, the frequency of vibration is 0 ≤ f ≤ 20Hz; and the amplitude is b mm), with possible exclusion of the highest positive and negative eccentricities. Plots of the average Nusselt number variation against the Rayleigh number showed a significant increase in negative vertical eccentricity. It was found that the average Nusselt decreased as the internal cylinder changed its location vertically from negative to positive through the center, which is normally a desirable effect, but has no advantage over the concentric on the positive side. The Rayleigh number was found to be relatively sensitive to eccentricity. However, an increase of Rayleigh number leads to a nearly proportional increase in the average Nusselt number and a smaller yet still substantial increase in positive eccentricity. This study concluded that the vibration under the current experimental setup significantly affects the concentric position of the internal cylinder, whether the effect is positive or negative. The vibrational average Nusselt number increased in varying proportions, depending on the location of the heated inner cylinder.","PeriodicalId":52164,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostyka","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44650629","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 article presents the study investigation and propagation of harmonics in the integration system of an electric grid connected to the photovoltaic system in the presence or not of a non-linear load (polluting load). In this study, the perturb and observe type MPPT controller for the boost converter and the PWM control for the three-phase inverter which provides the connection are used. We use a passive filtering technique (single and multiple filters) to mitigate the harmonic currents generated by the non-linear load. In the first case where the integration system is alone, the results obtained show that the values of the total harmonic distortion (THD) rates are within the standard used. But in the case of the presence of the non-linear load, the THD values are higher than the used norm. After using our proposed technique, the values of THD obtained are in the norm used for the application of a tuned filter at the fifth harmonic, and better results find with using of multiple filters (fifth and seventh).","PeriodicalId":52164,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostyka","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44107916","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 literature survey includes a comparison between previous studies of pumping systems using photovoltaic cells, and the extent of the influence of external factors such as radiation intensity and temperature on the efficiency of the system. Additionally, the use of water storage to generate electrical energy through potential energy by means of hydraulic generators and the effect of the amount of flow and height on the amount of energy generated, as well as the types of hydraulic generators are discussed in this paper. Nowadays, solar power is a major contributor to the world's electrical energy supply, either by generating electrical energy directly from solar cells or through water storage, which will be covered in this review. When compared to electricity or diesel-powered systems, solar water pumping is more cost-effective for irrigation and water supply in rural, urban, and remote areas.

The focus of this paper is to investigate the influence of both the layout and density of microcavities on the electrical and electromechanical constraints in the XLPE insulation of MV cables using numerical simulation. The simulation is based on the resolution of Laplace’s equation by the finite element method (FEM) using MATLAB. The electrostatic pressure and the elongation of the microcavities are estimated. This elongation leads to the formation of microchannels and then develops due to partial discharges to arborescence and in the end, the cable becomes out of service. This process takes a long time, so we use simulations to deepen the understanding of this phenomenon in a very short time.
