Abstract: This work examined the intrusive aspect of objective assessment of the quality of speech transmitted over wireless mobile networks using the automated end-to-end PESQ algorithm. The immense merits objective assessment techniques have were highlighted. The raw PESQ scores were mapped using the more accurate Morfitt and Cotanis U. S. Patented logistic function. Correlating the mapped PESQ MOS scores with the subjective MOS score, coefficients of 0.77, 0.81, and 0.75 were obtained for speeches transmitted over three different wireless networks respectively.

Abstract: The solar expedition missions have been minimized mainly due to the performance of the space capsules, also because of the planned amount of fuel a space shuttle must carry without discharging in order to advance to an unfamiliar region. Traditionally, a solar electric propulsion sail is extremely deformable to drive a space rocket through outer space. Photon or electric sails are propounding medium of propulsion by utilizing the cosmic radiation endeavored because of sun's rays on massive mirrors. It is a fusion of photo-voltaic cells and ions for the propelling and is also capable of enabling very fine maneuvering of the spacecraft by means of large sail-surface deformations.

Abstract: Digital signal transmission with its high level of immunity to signal impairments has found a wide range of applications in telecommunication systems. Digital migration came forcefully with the global deadline set by the International Telecommunication Conference as of June 2015[1],[2], inspired by limitations of analog transmission systems and the high signal strengths of the digital transmission systems. This has been of much benefit to governments and consumers.However,the shift came with its challenges; high rate of unemployment,high cost of living and high inflation levels rendering digital migration expensive. This shift makes most people especially in developing countries stillstruggle in acquiring..........

Title | : | Non-Uniform Lossless Transmission Lines Terminated ByElementWith Exponential Nonlinearity |
Country | : | Bulgaria |
Authors | : | Vasil Angelov |
: | 10.9790/2834-1305013241 |
Abstract: The present paper is devoted to the investigation of lossless transmission lines with varying in time and space specific parameters terminated by conductive loads with exponential nonlinearity. Such systems are more complicated because the coefficients of the hyperbolic system describing the line depend on time and space. We introduce new conditions which guarantee distortionless propagation along the transmission line and present a general method for reducing the mixed problem for the hyperbolic system to an initial value problem for a neutral system on the boundary. Here we extend our previous methods to investigate the case of variable specific parameters and formulate sufficient conditions for the existence-uniqueness of a solution by fixed point method.

Abstract: The cellular networks remain the major telecommunication infrastructure in the existent and succeeding generation wireless networks. Radio Resource Management (RRM) has a very crucial part in Quality of Service (QoS) eqquiping for remote correspondence frameworks. The execution of RRM procedures directly affects every client's individual execution and on the general system execution. Because of the high demand of wireless networks ,Call Admission control (CAC) is providing the solution of the limited resources problem in these networks as the main function of CAC is to improve the quality of the signals and working according to the conditions that whether the call should be accepted or dropped. The Approval and denial of the the calls is decided by the predefined critera. This article gives an exhaustive study of CAC algorithms in present day remote systems during which it is found that there is Bandwidth utilization problem in CAC algorithms, so further algorithms like Particle Swarm Optimistaion are studied which can be used to solve this problem and provide efficient networks with minimum call drop rates.

Abstract: The X-ray diffraction pattern of the system Te80S20-xBx where (x=0,2.5,5 and B=In or As) confirm the amorphous nature of the thin film samples. The addition of In or As to Te80S20 on the expense of S confirms this result. Also, the non-uniformity of SEM micrographs assures the amorphous nature of these samples. The SEM micrographs of all samples after addition of In or As on the expense of S and even the Er cover layer reveals no change in the amorphous state. The thermal differential analysis (DTA) proves that the glass transition range for Te80S20was 150C(119-1340C). This range reduced to be 80C as 2.5 at % In added on the expense of S. The replacement of In by As reduced this range to be............

Abstract: The X-ray diffraction pattern of the system Se80S20-xB where (x=0,2.5,5 and B=In or As) confirms the amorphous nature of the bulk and thin film of all samples. The addition of In or As to Se80S20 on the expense of S confirms this result.Also, the non-uniformity of SEM micrographs confirm the amorphous nature of the samples under test. The SEM micrographs of all samples after addition of In or As on the expense of S and even the addition of Er cover layer reveals no change in the amorphous structure. The thermal differential analysis (DTA) proves that the glass transition range is wide as 60oC with onset temperature 1060C for the sample Se80S20. This range becomes narrow...........

Abstract: This paper proposes solar powered automatic lawn mower which is completely automatic in its operation and allows the user the ability to cut grass with marginal human efforts. Unlike other conventional robotic lawn mowers, this design requires no perimeter wires to maintain the robot within the lawn and also works with lesser human efforts in the manual mode of operation. This mower is proposing some pre-set pattern installed in the system, in the automatic mode of operation no human effort is needed for mowing and it also helps to cut different patterns in the lawn very easily within less time. Through an array of sensors safety takes major consideration in the device, this robot will not only stay on the lawn, it will also detect and avoid objects and humans [5].

Abstract: In this work, the performance analysis of FH-CDMA scheme in terms of bit error probability (BEP) Vs number of simultaneous users over three different channels i.e. AWGN, Rician and Rayleigh channels is presented. The prime and chaotic sequences were used in this work as spreading sequences to the FH-CDMA scheme resulting in prime/FH-CDMA and chaotic/FH-CDMA scheme respectively. Bit Error Probability against the number of simultaneous users over AWGN, Rician and Rayleigh fading channels are plotted for prime/FH-CDMA scheme and chaotic/FH-CDMA scheme and compared. Chaotic sequences have good correlation properties and then can be used as address sequences in spread spectrum communication. Simulation results showed that chaotic/FH-CDMA scheme can accommodate more number of simultaneous users with lower Bit Error Probability than compared to prime/FH-CDMA scheme..

Abstract: Diabetes is one of the most incredibly surprising diseases that mankind is witnessing right now. The disease is caused by the body's recommended response to insulin: which is largely developed in our bodies to convert sugar into energy needed for the actual functioning of normal life. Diabetes takes a toll on our body as it leads to kidney injury, coronary burden and retinal degeneration of the eyes, nerve disorders and nerve damage. According to the World Health Organization, diabetes mellitus is a longstanding condition distinct from high glucose levels. The consequences can be far-reaching. According to the current increase in mortality, diabetes has come to the 10th position among the primary sources of mortality from one end of the world to the other. When used to predict diabetes using datasets imbalanced from testing, PC based information classifiers and spanning methods for encoding categorical data have shown a wide strategy of surprising results. Early evaluations used simulated cerebrum relation to kill features without knowing what should be done for development information.
