Designing of a PID controller is a very common method for industrial process control and due to its very simple and efficient function; it is used in a wide variety of industrial applications. PID controller to reduce the steady state error and dynamic response of the system is used. PID controller design is an inevitable problem in setting the coefficients need to try a lot of trial and error,...

this paper presents a novel indirect adaptive power system stabilizer (pss) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. the synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

The concept of relative bid privacy in auction is proposed, which does not conceal the bids, but conceals the link between them and the corresponding bidders. Relative bid privacy leads to two advantages: the bidding values can be very precise and any auction rule can be applied. A new mix network is designed and applied to implement relative bid privacy efficiently. Two rounds of shuffling are...

In 14 mongrel dogs wash-in and wash-out curves for halothane were obtained from measurements of arterial blood, mixed venous blood and end-tidal gas. From a certain point in the wash-in period the halothane concentration of arterial blood can be calculated from the halothane concentration in end-tidal gas and the blood-gas partition coefficient for halothane. Analysis of the curves shows that t...

BACKGROUND There is widespread concern that H5N1 avian influenza A viruses will emerge as a pandemic threat, if they become capable of human-to-human (H2H) transmission. Avian strains lack this capability, which suggests that it requires important adaptive mutations. We performed a large-scale comparative analysis of proteins from avian and human strains, to produce a catalogue of mutations ass...

the interline power flow controller (ipfc) is a concept of the facts controller for series compensation which can inject a voltage with controllable magnitude and phase angle among multi lines. this paper proposes a novel ipfc-based damping neuro-control scheme using pso for damping oscil la t i o ns in a power system to improve power system stability. the add i tion of a supplementary controll...

We study the question of how to shuffle n cards when faced with an opponent who knows the initial position of all the cards and can track every card when permuted, except when one takes K < n cards at a time and shuffles them in a private buffer “behind your back,” which we call buffer shuffling. The problem arises naturally in the context of parallel mixnet servers as well as other security ap...

Detection of fuel adulteration in real time is the most important need of the world as it generates the hazardous effects on the environment, living and nonliving things. Various automotive users and fuel providers may mix kerosene in petrol and diesel. Adulterated fuel increases air pollution, as well as reduces the performance of vehicle engines. Such a malpractice in fuel is prevailing becau...
