Optimizing Parameters For Efficient Computation With Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes, Cavi̇dan Yakupoğlu Karaağaç, Kurt Rohloff
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, we aim to provide a parameter selection approach for the BFVrns scheme, one of the prominent fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes. Selecting parameters for lattice-based FHE schemes poses a practical challenge for both experts and nonexperts. To solve this problem, we introduce a hybrid approach that combines theoretical approach with experimental analysis. First, we employ regression analysis to examine the impact of parameters on both performance and security. The varying behavior of FHE parameters in terms of performance, security, and ciphertext expansion factor (CEF) makes parameter selection more challenging. To address this issue, we employ a multi-objective …

Fuzzy-Virtual Inertia Control To Improve The Frequency Response Of Multi-Area Power Systems, Nourelhouda Djaraf, Yacine Daili, Abderrahim Zemmit, Abdelghani Harrag
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Virtual inertia control (VIC) is essential for power systems dominated by electronic devices to compensate for the lack of inertia and ensure frequency regulation. However, most existing VICs often focus solely on optimizing the virtual inertia parameter to adapt to the high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) without considering the damping factor. This oversight can lead to significant fluctuations and power mismatches, especially in interconnected systems where the coordination between MGs is sensitive and essential, and there is a risk of propagation of deviations between MGs, which makes the control more complex. To address these issues, this paper presents …

Multi-Channel Features Combined With Gray Features For Remote Sensing Image Classification, Khaled Hasan, Hussien Harb, Lamiaa A. Elrefaei, Hala M. Abdel-Kader
Mansoura Engineering Journal
Image classification in remote sensing is crucial for various applications like deforestation monitoring and Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) mapping. While grayscale images offer simplicity, recent advancements have enhanced classification by integrating spatial and relative data. However, relying solely on grayscale images overlooks valuable color information from different channels. To overcome this, researchers have explored two strategies: combining diverse features and utilizing multi-channel features. These methods merge spatial information and exploit shared features across channels. Despite their improved performance compared to grayscale, they face increased dimensionality, necessitating dimensionality reduction techniques. In our study, we propose a novel approach that integrates spatial …

Gait assessments in a clinical setting may not accurately reflect mobility in everyday life. To better understand gait during daily life, we compared measures that discriminated Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) from healthy control (HC) subjects in prescribed clinic tests and free, daily-life monitoring.MethodsWe recruited 9 people with FRDA (median age: 20, IQR [12, 48] years). A comparative healthy control (HC) subject cohort of 9 was sampled using propensity matching on age (median age: 18 [13, 22] years). Subjects wore 3 inertial sensors (one each foot and lower back) in the laboratory during a 2-min walk at a natural pace, followed by …
Distributed Repeaters For Extending The Range Of Harmonic Rf Tags, Trevor Saunders
Distributed Repeaters For Extending The Range Of Harmonic Rf Tags, Trevor Saunders
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Passive harmonic Radio Frequency (RF) tags are highly advantageous compared to theiractive counterparts due to their ability to operate effectively in environments that are cluttered or where access to the tag for battery maintenance is challenging, dangerous and/or time consuming. They are also resistant to the local oscillator (LO) phase noise in radar applications where the doppler frequency from slow moving targets is buried beneath the noise. One of the major constraints of passive harmonic RF tags, however, lies in their operating range and the significant amount of power required to overcome the conversion loss and activate the nonlinear device …

Novel Approach To Traveling-Wave-Based Fault Location In Nonhomogeneous Transmission Lines, John Parker Burrell
Master's Theses
Accurate fault location is a critical aspect of power system protection, ensuring grid reliability and minimizing downtime. Traditional traveling-wave-based fault location methods face limitations when applied to nonhomogeneous transmission lines due to the reliance on precise segment velocities and propagation time data. This thesis addresses these challenges by proposing a novel algorithm that leverages historical fault data to estimate segment velocities and refine these estimates as more faults occur. The algorithm was rigorously tested using the digital model of an 11-segment, 65.694 km real overhead transmission line and validated using both simulations and hardware tests using commercially available time-domain protective …

Development Of An Advanced 16-Channel High-Fidelity Multi-Frequency Software-Defined Rf Front-End For Advanced Satnav Signal Monitoring Applications, Melbourne T. Ketteridge
Theses and Dissertations
Multi-element antenna array technology provides significant performance advantages in satellite timing and navigation (satnav) receiver applications. It is the most effective anti-jamming method with the ability to place steep nulls in the direction of jammers. Until recently, satnav systems with 4 or more antenna elements were designated as weapons technology and restricted under ITAR regulations. This opens the door to commercial multi-element satnav receivers. Due to advancements in wireless broadband technology a receiver built entirely using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components is possible. This thesis presents an architecture for a high fidelity 16-channel RF front-end (RFFE) for research and development of …

Numerical Studies Of Semiclassical Light Storage Using The Coherent Atomic Transfer Function, Zachary T. Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
Quantum communication through photons relies on photonic storage to preserve quantum states. However, when photons interact with matter, quantum information becomes distorted. A recently developed semi-classical analytical model predicts output light pulses from an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) system. Using the predictions, the model known as the Coherent Atomic Transfer (CAT) Function, is capable of predicting the stored pulse or reconstructing the original pulse. Using numerical convolution and deconvolution with the CAT function as an analog of the point spread function of Fourier optics can provide insights on the effects of EIT storage on the retrieved pulse. Blind deconvolution is …

Deep Learning-Based Gain Estimation For Multi-User Software-Defined Radios In Aircraft Communications, Viraj K. Gajjar, Kurt L. Kosbar
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
It may be helpful to integrate multiple aircraft communication and navigation functions into a single software-defined radio (SDR) platform. To transmit these multiple signals, the SDR would first sum the baseband version of the signals. This outgoing composite signal would be passed through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) before being up-converted and passed through a radio frequency (RF) amplifier. To prevent non-linear distortion in the RF amplifier, it is important to know the peak voltage of the composite. While this is reasonably straightforward when a single modulation is used, it is more challenging when working with composite signals. This paper describes …
