in this search drying characteristics of green pea (pisum satium) with an initial moisture content of 76% (db) was studied in a fluidized bed dryer assisted by microwave heating. four drying air temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60ºc) and five microwave powers (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900w) were adopted. at each drying operating conditions the volume of green pea was calculated by measuring the three...

Increasing usage of Internet and computer networks by individuals and organizations and also attackers’ usage of new methods and tools in an attempt to endanger network security, have led to the emergence of a wide range of threats to networks. A honeypot is one of the basic techniques employed for network security improvement. It is basically designed to be attacked so as to get the attackers’...

The interaction network has been proposed as a way of representing interactive processing in a distributed system, and an interaction network monitor for SunOS was developed in earlier work. This paper describes development of an interaction network monitor for Amoeba, the rst interaction network monitor for a distributed operating system. Case studies are used to show some of the types of info...

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a suite of network protocols on a real time operating system that ensures the QoS (Quality of Service) of continuous media applications. The suite consists of a newly designed transport layer, a network layer that includes ST-II, a reservation-based network protocol, and a data link layer providing network access to ATM and Ethernet in...

Event-driven operating systems such as TinyOS are the preferred choice for wireless sensor networks. Alternative designs following a classical multi-threaded approach are also available. A popular implementation of such a multi-threaded sensor network operating system is MANTIS. The event-based TinyOS is more energy efficient than the multi-threaded MANTIS system. However, MANTIS is more capabl...

A multi objective Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) designed by online learning mechanism is proposed in this paper to optimize the double Fuzzy-Lead-Lag (FLL) stabilizer parameters in order to improve low-frequency oscillations in a multi machine power system. The proposed double FLL stabilizer consists of a low pass filter and two fuzzy logic controllers whose parameters can be set by the ...

This paper studies the theory and modeling manner of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) into power network and its effect on small signal stability. The paper demonstrates the fundamental module, mathematical analysis and small signal modeling of the SOFC connected to single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system. The basic contribution of the study is to attenuate the low frequency oscillations by optim...

parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.in this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using mpi and openmp programming languages based on set of networked pcs. umzhpc is a free linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...

this with the integration of distributed generation (dg) to meshed distribution systems, the operating time of the protective system becomes a major concern in order to avoid nuisance dg tripping. this paper proposes a new tripping characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (docrs) that can achieve a higher possible reduction of overall relays operating time in meshed distribution networ...
