Agents For Integrating Distributed Data For Complex Computations, Ahmed M. Khedr, Raj Bhatnagar Jan 2006

Agents For Integrating Distributed Data For Complex Computations, Ahmed M. Khedr, Raj Bhatnagar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Algorithms for many complex computations assume that all the relevant data are available on a single node of a computer network. In the emerging distributed and networked knowledge environments, databases relevant for computations may reside on a number of nodes connected by a communication network. These data resources cannot be moved to other network sites due to privacy, security, and size considerations. The desired global computation must be decomposed into local computations to match the distribution of data across the network. The capability to decompose computations must be general enough to handle different distributions of data and different participating nodes …

Uplink Practical Capacity And Interference Statistics Of Wcdma Cigar-Shaped Microcells For Highways In Rural Zones With Non-Uniform Spatial Traffic Distribution And Imperfect Power Control, Bazil Taha Ahmed, Miguel Calvo Ramon, Leandro De Haro-Ariet Jan 2006

Uplink Practical Capacity And Interference Statistics Of Wcdma Cigar-Shaped Microcells For Highways In Rural Zones With Non-Uniform Spatial Traffic Distribution And Imperfect Power Control, Bazil Taha Ahmed, Miguel Calvo Ramon, Leandro De Haro-Ariet

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The capacity (the maximum number of users per sector that the system can support) and the interference statistics (expected value and variance) of sectors composed of cigar-shaped WCDMA microcells are studied. A model of 5 microcells is used to analyze the uplink capacity and interference statistics. The microcells are assumed to exist in rural zone highways. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcells are studied for different non-uniform spatial traffic distributions. As user density decreases away from the base station, the capacity of the sector increases due to the reduced total power transmitted by the interfering users.

An Ann Based Approach To Improve The Distance Relaying Algorithm, Hassan Khorashadi Zadeh, Zuyi Li Jan 2006

An Ann Based Approach To Improve The Distance Relaying Algorithm, Hassan Khorashadi Zadeh, Zuyi Li

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents an artificial neural network- (ANN) based approach to improve the performance of the distance relaying algorithm. The proposed distance relay uses magnitudes of voltages and currents as input signals to find fault locations. In this approach, an ANN has been included in the protection algorithm as an extension of the existing methods, which improves the reliability of the protection operation. The design procedure of the proposed relay is presented in detail. Simulation studies are performed and the influence of changing system parameters, such as fault resistance and source impedance, is studied. Performance studies show that the proposed …

Controlling Rail Potential Of Dc Supplied Rail Traction Systems, Mehmet Turan Söylemez, Süleyman Açikbaş, Adnan Kaypmaz Jan 2006

Controlling Rail Potential Of Dc Supplied Rail Traction Systems, Mehmet Turan Söylemez, Süleyman Açikbaş, Adnan Kaypmaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Most modern DC electrified mass transit systems use a totally floating earth as their grounding strategy. A well-known problem related with totally floating systems is that the touch potentials can be dangerously high. In order to reduce the voltages on rails, several devices exist. Most of these devices allow a direct connection to earth when a certain voltage threshold is exceeded. In this paper, the working principles of these devices are given and the effect of certain parameters related with these devices on the minimum achievable touch potentials is investigated.
