An intelligent control of photovoltaics is necessary to ensure fast response and high efficiency under different weather conditions. This is often arduous to accomplish using traditional linear controllers, as photovoltaic systems are nonlinear and contain several uncertainties. Based on the analysis of the existing literature of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques, a high performanc...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...

Abstract: Recently, supervised artificial neural networks have obtained success to reveal and provide quantitative information concerning defects in TNDE (Thermographic NonDestructive Evaluation). Supervised neural networks may converge to local minimum and their training procedure are usually long. In this study, a neuro-fuzzy approach is applied to characterize subsurface defects in TNDE. Sim...

When we deal with the estimator of a parameter, it is important for us to find an estimator with minimum variance. For this reason, this paper discuss on the variance of fuzzy random variable. There are two different approaches to the definition of the variance of a fuzzy random variable. In the first one, the variance of the fuzzy random variable is defined as a crisp number by using defuzzifi...

Direct Torque controlled induction motor (DTC-IM) drives have been used widely over last few decades. DTC-IM drives use the stator resistance of the motor for stator flux estimation which directly depends on the stator resistance of IM. Proper estimation of the stator resistance is very important because stator resistance varies due to the increase in temperature of the machine during operation...

A novel sensor-less system for induction motors is designed. This novel design is based on an adaptative fuzzy system, which is obtained by mixing openloop estimator response with steady-state estimator. This open-loop estimator is improved by means of using an adaptative fuzzy controlled filter that selects the optimised cut frequency. The results validate the entire work in not only transient...

This study proposes an efficient channel-estimation scheme for Multiband (MB) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication systems. One of the challenges in wireless system is the frequency selective fading caused due to multipath channel between the transmitter and receiver. The signal bandwidth in broad band cellular wireless systems typically ex...

The goal of this paper is to introduce a partially adaptive estimator for the censored regression model based on an error structure described by a mixture of two normal distributions. The model we introduce is easily estimated by maximum likelihood using the EM algorithm adapted from the work of Bartolucci and Scaccia (2004). A Monte Carlo study is conducted to examine the small sample properti...
