Abstract:

Water is not only necessary for life but it plays vital role in the social accompanied with economic growth of that specific country especially developing countries. Increasing population and rapid urbanization accompanied with climate change may reduce the supply of fresh water globally in twenty-first century. This study aims to understand current household water use and water use pattern in different five houses of different five places of KPK Pakistan for five months, to improve the efficiency of house hold water use, to encourage sustainable use and conservation of water resources. For the provision of new fresh water facilities. It’s necessary for water supply system planners to comprehend current water consumption behaviors of inhabitant, and how they use water of the new facility in future. The water consumption pattern is differs for the nations and societies and dependent on factors which may vary consumption on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. These factors are availability of water source, economic, cultural, seasonal, climatic, and approachability to these water sources.

Daily water consumption pattern for five different houses in different areas of KPK for five months were found by carefully examining the time taken by pump to fill the Household overhead tanks. But in order to increase reliability of the acquired data the pumps were allowed to fill the tank till water flow for one minute at overflow pipe of the water tank was not recorded. During the period of research (March 2018 to July 2018) it was concluded that the average consumption in Charsadda (urban), Charsadda (rural), Mardan (urban), Mardan (rural) and Kohat (urban) was 102.84, 61.81, 105.99, 66.44 and 100 litres per captia per day (LPCD) respectively. Interestingly it was also observed that the trends of water consumption were almost the same in urban and rural areas of different districts of KPK

Abstract:

The simplest model of terrorist growth model consists of two subpopulations, namely the susceptible subpopulation (S) and the militant or infected and infectious subpopulation (I). The model is governed by a coupled of differential equation reflecting the growth of the susceptible and infected subpopulations. Assuming a constant human population, the system can be reduced to a logistic differential equation. In this paper  a fractional order delayed logistic equation is discussed and  the discretization  in the form of piecewise constant argument is used to find the solution. We use the first and the second order discretization method in the numerical scheme and investigate the effect of the fractional order in the growth of the underlying population modelled by the equation. We found that in general the discretization method can mimic the behavior of the original logistic equation for some parameters. However, destabilizing effect may occur depending on the combination of the values of related parameters, such as the fractional order, the intrinsic growth rate, and the piecewise constant argument parameter.

Abstract:

Prediction of rainfall is important in terms of the impact of a rain event on various systems such as communication systems. Traditional approaches used to predict rain events are often sensitive to fluctuations in the datasets on which the predictions are made. The present paper therefore develops a robust machine learning based technique for accurate short term rain forecasting, based on experimentally collected data. Ground based microwave radiometer allows continuous monitoring of ambient temperature, water vapour and liquid water, and other hydrometeors through measurement of radiometric brightness temperature at different frequencies in clear and cloudy weather conditions. The radiometric brightness temperature outputs at 23.834 and 30 GHz are used to establish a relation where data trends which are precursors to rain events can be identified using this parameter. Spline equations are modeled by partitioning the dataset. The predictability of the occurrence of precipitation and the rainfall intensity has been studied based on the rise of brightness temperature from clear to cloudy weather conditions. The rise of brightness temperature at 23.834 and 30 GHz show that the precursory variations of this parameter preceding rain events are observable from 29 to 47 minutes prior to precipitation depending upon the nature of rainfall patterns. The data collected empirically displays trends that are used in this paper to provide a clear forecast of short term precipitation. Spline regression based machine learning models incorporating monthly trends, proposed in this paper improve the accuracy of prediction of short term rain events.

Abstract:

The significant spread of the single-phase loads in the consumer homes make the distribution network suffering from many dangerous problems like the load unbalancing. This problem comes because the single-phase devices continuously plugged in and out to different phases each time. This paper cared about this problem and solved it efficiently by the new meta-heuristic algorithm called GWO that applied for the first time to solve the load balancing issue. The algorithm has the ability based on the smart meter included swapping mechanism to disconnects the appropriate home phases from their initial connection to specific feeders and reconnected again to other feeders for satisfying the balancing in the secondary distribution network. The algorithm adapted to reaching the balancing with a minimal number of swaps and take care of the online PVs if the consumer likes to buy energy to the national utility. It distributed all the PVs in a manner that not cause a balancing problem or lead to a stability issue. The proposed method has been applied to some unbalanced areas with random data generated in MATLAB to confirm the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the eye diseases that results in vision loss if not diagnosed earlier. The automated computer aided models on the DR images help in accurate treatment disease prevention. Microaneurysms (MA) and red spots are the indicators of DR for disease diagnosis. Many DR classification approaches have been proposed in the literature with deep learning framework and non-linear functionality. Also, these models are not applicable to large feature space due to high true negative rate. To optimize these problems, a hybrid feature selection based deep learning classifier is used to detect the MA and red spots disease severity on the large image dataset. In this paper, a new feature extraction approach is implemented to find the essential positive bag features to the deep learning framework. A hybrid SVM classification model is used to classify the disease patterns with high true positive rate. Experimental results are simulated on different DR image class labels; results show that the hybrid deep learning classification model is better than the traditional models under various statistical metrics on large dataset.

Abstract:

Gender recognition is a process of recognizing a person’s gender from their facial image using deep learning. The posed variation, illumination, and occlusion are some of the factors that affect in recognizing faces. These are reduced by increasing the accuracy of prediction. The network used for training the system is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). For improving accuracy, the faces are detected and cropped from the image. Face detection is done using Open CV which detects the face by the frontal features of the face. This is done during training the network. The dataset used for training has cropped images. The proposed system predicts the person’s gender without compromising accuracy.

Abstract:

Large cities have increasing mobility problems due to a large number of vehicles on the streets and roads, which results in traffic jams and thus a waste of time and money. An alternative to improve traffic is to prioritize the public transportation system. Many cities across the world have recently launched ambitious programs of BRT system implementation with varying success. And Peshawar is also one of them which has launched a BRT system in 2017. This paper presents the planning management and importance of Bus rapid transit (BRT) for the city like Peshawar as it is more cost-effective mode, and to examine the level of accessibility, perception/acceptability of users on the operations of BRT in Peshawar in terms of distances, safety, affordability, reliability, travel time and waiting time at the BRT bus stops. Creating a safe corridor by combining the existing physical infrastructure and the use of communications systems in all components of the BRT system is to improve passenger safety factors in urban trips. For the study, data for all the cities have been collected from different sources such as local authority websites, organizations involved in the projects, published reports and studies, and the media.

Abstract:

The nanotechnology has added new trends in concrete. By virtue of it has enhanced the concrete properties. The study is associated with the application of nano silica (Fume silica) and Bagasse Ash. The reason for the tests conducted was to discover impacts of fumesilica (FS) & B-A on the quality features of concrete. B-A & fume-Silica were used to examine whether these nano materials are capable to enhance the concrete bonds or they are weak. The tests when conducted, the nano material B-A, replaced cement by10 percent & 20 percent & (1, 2 & 3)percent of fume-Silica was added by weight. The tests when conducted, showed impressive increase in early age compressive strength and steady increase in overall compressive strength. The increased strength was due to the percentage addition nano materials. The FESEM micrographs illustrated that the nano materials have hardened the concrete bonds up to certain addition by weight and a gradual decrease was seen when the amounts of nano materials exceeded than the required ratios.

Abstract:

Abstract In this work, the all-optical plasmonic NOT logic gate was proposed using Insulator-Metal-Insulator (IMI) plasmonic waveguides Technology. The proposed all-optical NOT gate is simulated and realized using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3a software. Recently, plasmonic technology has attracted high attention due to its wide applications in all-optical signal processing. Due to its high localization to metallic surfaces, surface plasmon (SP) may have huge applications in sub-wavelength to guide the optical signal in the waveguides which result in overcoming the diffraction limit problem in conventional optics. The proposed IMI structure is consists of dielectric waveguides plus metallic claddings, which guide the incident light strongly in the insulator region. Our design consists of symmetric nano-rings structures with two straight waveguides which based on IMI structure. The operation of all-optical NOT gate is realized by employing the constructive and destructive interface between the straight waveguides and the nano-rings structured waveguides. There are three ports in the proposed design, input, control and output ports. The activation of the control port is always ON. By changing the structure dimensions, the materials, the phase of the applied optical signal to the input and control ports, the optical transmission at the output port is changed. In our proposed structure, the insulator dielectric material is glass and the metal material is silver. The calculated contrast ratio between (ON and OFF) output states is 3.16 (dB).

Abstract:

It can be easily understood that every relay node in traditional multi-hop (TM) communication networks only attends the previous node that is near to it, which is the difficulty in routing. Using directed graphs, the modeling of these networks is performed well in order to achieve the routing. In the networks of accumulative multi-hop (AM) communication, the routing problem is far-off from understanding and yet rather interested in it. The received data energy from earlier relay transmissions can be acquired by numerous relay nodes that assist communication between a single source and a single destination in the accumulative multi-hop network which is a simple one. At this point, in single-source single-destination accumulative multi-hop networks, the difficulty in finding the optimum paths is studied. A method of Load Balanced Energy efficient cross layer based Routing protocol for accumulative networks are implemented in this paper. The end-to-end network connectivity is enhanced as well as the faults at link or/and node level is reduced in this method. Using an energy efficient neighbor node choosing method, the establishment of a set of various paths is done from the source to the destination. Efficient load balancing is offered at the node and a constant route is discovered between the source and destination that meets the delay requirement. With respect to end to end delay, throughput, and energy consumption, the proposed system is outperformed which is demonstrated in the results of simulation.

Abstract:

Soft-learning courses are sought-after as well as late. The need to examine understudy's presentation and anticipating their exhibition is expanding alongside it. With the developing notoriety of instructive innovation, different information digging calculations appropriate for anticipating understudy execution have been surveyed. The best calculation is based on the idea of the forecast that the staff needs to make. As the measurement of understudy information broadens the need to address and manage the complexities of the information connection, it is a test for the discovery of the understudy at risk of being short-lived.  In this paper covers the ID3 and C4.5 algorithms used for Predictive Analytics on understudy's presentation and Big Data with cloud.

Abstract:

Since forty years of computing history, cloud computing has made revolutionary changes. The daily life of human beings is completely depended on this advancement. Data centres are the backbone for the cloud computing. During the time of peak hours, load will be heavy on data center. Load balancing is needed. It provides better services to the end-user. Existing load balancing algorithms have their drawbacks. Hybrid algorithm approach is also a way to balance the load in cloud computing. Many efforts are made by several researchers in this direction. Combination of Round robin, Throttled, Equally Spread Current Execution, and Artificial Bee Colony Optimization algorithms as a hybrid algorithm (RTEAH) has shown improved results, hence it can be considered.

SUGGESTING MULTIPHASE REGRESSION MODEL ESTIMATION WITH SOME THRESHOLD POINT

Authors:

Omar Abdulmohsin Ali

DOI NO:

https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.2020.02.00019

Abstract:

The estimation of the regular regression model requires several assumptions to be satisfied such as "linearity". One problem occurs by partitioning the regression curve into two (or more) parts and then joining them by threshold point(s). This situation is regarded as a linearity violation of regression. Therefore, the multiphase regression model is received increasing attention as an alternative approach which describes the changing of the behavior of the phenomenon through threshold point estimation. Maximum likelihood estimator "MLE" has been used in both model and threshold point estimations. However, MLE is not resistant against violations such as outliers' existence or in case of the heavy-tailed error distribution. The main goal of this paper is to suggest a new hybrid estimator obtained by an ad-hoc algorithm which relies on data driven strategy that overcomes outliers. While the minor goal is to introduce a new employment of an unweighted estimation method named "winsorization"  which is a good method to get robustness in regression estimation via special technique to reduce the effect of the outliers. Another specific contribution in this paper is to suggest employing "Kernel" function as a new weight (in the scope of the researcher's knowledge).Moreover, two weighted estimations are based on robust weight functions named "Cauchy" and "Talworth". Simulations have been constructed with contamination levels (0%, 5%, and 10%) which associated with sample sizes (n=40,100). Real data application showed the superior performance of the suggested method compared with other methods using RMSE and R2 criteria.
