An adaptive artificial neural network model of a fuzzy neural inference system is evaluated in this paper to predict the performance of a nanofluidic evacuated tube solar collector. Variable intake temperatures and weight percentages of the aluminum oxide nanofluid (1 percent, 3 percent, 5 percent), as well as different flow rates (3, 9, 15) l/min were investigated. In this study, three ANFIS inputs were used: inlet temperature, solar radiation rate, and ambient temperature. Where one output is obtained from the artificial neural network, which is the values of the angles of the reflective electronic curtain made of acrylic mirrors, which enhance the performance of the solar collector as well as control the temperature of the solar collector when the curtain is closed. We can note that the practical results are consistent with the prediction results by predicting the performance of the solar collector produced by ANFIS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solar collectors are thermal equipment that receives solar energy by absorbing sunlight and converting it into thermal energy. The working fluid is the most important part of the system, as nanomaterials were used with water instead of pure water, as this method is one of the best ways to increase the performance of the solar collector. In this study, the performance of the evacuated tube solar collector was improved by designing an electronic curtain made of acrylic mirror, in addition to adding nanoparticles of Al2O3 to a liquid work (water). A volume fraction of nanoparticles of 1%, 3%, and 5% was used at flow rates of (3, 9, 15)L/min. The performance of a vacuum tube solar collector was compared using Al2O3 and water within the stated flow rates. Through the results obtained, it was found that the efficiency of the solar collector increases with the increase in the concentrations of the nanomaterial and the presence of acrylic mirrors on both sides of the evacuated tubes as a reflective surface.

Antennas are one of the many scientific and engineering fields that have been greatly impacted by the use of fractal geometry. Commercially available antennas for various telecommunications applications already use several of these shapes. It has been demonstrated that certain antenna features can be improved to varied degrees by using fractal geometries. The fractal shape and its characteristics are addressed in this paper. The suggested antennas are waveguide fed and have fractal structures that lower the resonance frequency of the antennas through the use of iterative methods. By merging several shapes, the bandwidth was maximized, resulting in a hybrid fractal antenna. CST Microwave Studio Suite software was used to analyze the fractal antenna. The constructed antenna features a nice Omni-directional pattern that is appropriate for RFID applications, is lightweight, low profile, and simple to build. The same FR-4 free losses substrate with a dielectric constant of r=4.3 and a thickness of 1.6 mm will be used to print the proposed antennas. The modified Sierpinski method was used to base the designed antenna on a zero-order square patch antenna while introducing various fractal geometries to reduce the size of the antenna. The output of the dual-band antenna with directivity of 4.6 and 5.37 alternating between 3.8 and 4.65 GHz that was proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the tuning of the parameters of a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller to control the level of liquid inside a tank by controlling the fill and discharge valves according to a setpoint (SP). The PID controller compares the process variable (PV) signal obtained using the level sensor and the SP; the difference between the two is termed as the error. This comparison shows that the PID controller produces an output signal to control the opening or closing of the fill and discharge valves. Many liquid-level control systems suffer from instability owing to the large error; therefore, this study seeks to obtain a stable system by reducing the error. The PID controller determines how much and how quickly the correction is applied by using different amounts of proportional, integral, and derivative actions. Each block provides a unique signal, and these are collected to produce the controller output signal. Thereafter, the change in the amount of error before and after the parameters of the PID controller are tuned is compared. We used the FACTORY I/O and Siemens' Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal programs for performing simulations in our study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An experimental study was conducted to analyze the performance of the evacuated tube solar collector by adding aluminum nanoparticles to distilled water as a working fluid with different volumetric concentrations (1%, 3%, 5%) according to the mathematical equations, and different volumetric flow rates, in addition to using a reflective electronic curtain of acrylic mirrors. The performance of the solar collector was compared with the nanofluid ((Al (30 nm)+(Distilled water)) and water with flow rates (3, 9, 15) L/min. The results showed an improvement in the performance of the solar collector by adding the nanofluid ((Al (30 nm)+(Distilled water)) compared with water as the main working fluid in the system with and without the reflective curtain. The maximum efficiency of the solar collector was (48.5%) at a volumetric concentration (5%) at a flow rate (15 L/min) without the reflective curtain. While the maximum efficiency was (60.2%) with the same concentration and flow rate when the reflective curtain was present. The results also showed an increase in the performance of the solar collector by increasing the volumetric concentrations of aluminum nanoparticles and the flow rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Staphylococcus aureus is a typical bacterium associated with the most common community- and hospital-acquired illnesses and has long been recognized as a significant issue in public health. S.aureus nasal carriage has immune-modulating effects in atopic dermatitis patients and may be a factor in allergic rhinitis patients' inflammatory airways and allergic reactions. The purpose of this study is to look at the prevalence of nasal S. aureus infection in individuals with chronic allergic rhinitis and its potential impact on immunological markers. Between March 2022 and November 2022, 100 patients with allergic rhinitis who visited Al-Sadder Medical City, an ENT outpatient clinic in the Najaf governorate, were included in the first group (patient groups). There were 100 healthy volunteers in the control group who weren't allergic and didn't have any respiratory issues. To isolate S. aureus from each group's nasal swab, sterile cotton swabs were used. Serum concentrations of IL-4, IFN- γ, and total IgE were then determined ELISA technique. In contrast to 24/100 controls, S. aureus was discovered in 52/100 allergic patients (P.001). The total IgE-levels of allergic S. aureus carriers were considerably greater as compared to patients non-suffered from allergic. Nasal S. aureus carriers showed greater levels of IL-4 than non-carrier individuals (p=0.037). IFN- γ was elevated in individuals who were not S. aureus carriers compared to those who were (P=0.05), and this was associated with elevated total IgE in allergic patients. Without a doubt, allergic rhinitis increases S. aureus colonization, and this might place these individuals at higher risk for more serious staphylococcal infections and found the immunological parameters(IL-4, IFN- γ, and total IgE) were significant differences between allergic S. aureus carriers compared to allergic non-carriers. More research is needed, such as attempts to eradicate staphylococcal infection and reassessment of illness and serological biomarkers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of intrusion detection systems is to improve software and system security. The challenge of attack detection has already been addressed through supervised and unsupervised machine learning approaches. Although the previous methods lead to models that are very accurate on the observed samples, the new methods provide robust models on the unobserved samples. The accuracy of the new methods is equal to the accuracy of the observed samples. In this paper, we apply a deep neural network-based auto-encoder to the GA-AE-IDS (Automatic Encryption Detection System-Genetic Algorithm) intrusion detection system. Basically, the GA-AE-IDS is a light intrusion detection system that can be used online. In this paper, weighted datasets are processed in GA. First, auto-encoder neural networks are initialized; then GA-based weight optimization is performed on the system. The experimental results reflect that the proposed method can detect most attacks with good accuracy. It has also accelerated the training and testing process, and in dense samples has improved by about 4.9% compared to the base paper. Also, the AUC criterion in dense and sparse samples obtained from the proposed method has been improved by 5 and 8%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Evacuated tube solar collectors are an important part of the solar heating system. This solar energy is absorbed by tubes and converted to heat, where this heat is transported to the water. The current research proposes a way to boost the efficiency of the solar collector using evacuated tubes through the design and construction of an electronic acrylic curtain whose movement is controlled using artificial intelligence to enhance the amount of solar radiation falling on the evacuated tubes. The tilt of an electronic curtain is controlled according to the direction of solar radiation. This electronic curtain works to protect the evacuated tubes in addition to acting as a reflector. Through the results obtained, the solar collector's efficiency improved approximately by 15% compared to solar collectors that operate without a curtain, and therefore the proposed design has a higher thermal performance than other systems.

A system for continuous variable quantum key distribution via a wavelength router is proposed. The Kerr type of light in the nonlinear microring resonator (NMRR) induces the chaotic behavior. In this proposed system chaotic signals are generated by an optical soliton or Gaussian pulse within a NMRR system. The parameters, such as input power, MRRs radii and coupling coefficients can change and plays important role in determining the results in which the continuous signals are generated spreading over the spectrum. Large bandwidth signals of optical soliton are generated by the input pulse propagating within the MRRs, which is allowed to form the continuous wavelength or frequency with large tunable channel capacity. The continuous variable QKD is formed by using the localized spatial soliton pulses via a quantum router and networks. The selected optical spatial pulse can be used to perform the secure communication network. Here the entangled photon generated by chaotic signals has been analyzed. The continuous entangled photon is generated by using the polarization control unit incorporating into the MRRs, required to provide the continuous variable QKD. Results obtained have shown that the application of such a system for the simultaneous continuous variable quantum cryptography can be used in the mobile telephone hand set and networks. In this study frequency band of 500 MHz and 2.0 GHz and wavelengths of 775 nm, 2,325 nm and 1.55 μm can be obtained for QKD use with input optical soliton and Gaussian beam respectively.

We propose two designed systems consist of series of micro ring resonator (MRR) and an add/drop multiplexer in which the optical dark and bright soliton pulse propagating within the nonlinear waveguides can be amplified which can be used in long communication system. The dark or bright soliton is input into designed systems and travels within the waveguide. A continuous soliton pulse is sliced into smaller pulses by the nonlinear effect which is known as chaos. In this way large bandwidth of optical signals can be obtained. The power amplification occurs when the soliton propagates along the MRRs or add/drop systems. The add/drop multiplexer system can itself be used to amplify the optical soliton when the bright soliton is input at the drop part of the system. In this work we have studied the generation of amplified pulse of optical dark and bright soliton when they propagating inside single systems or when they interact and collide during propagation inside an add/drop device. It means that amplified soliton pulse also can be obtained when two types of soliton i.e., dark and bright soliton collide with each other in a same system. In such a way the amplified dark soliton or bright soliton can be used to perform the long distance link. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The effective power transmitting of fiber couplers from one fiber to another is mainly determined by both coupling length and coupling coefficient. Coupling length can be calculated directly but for coupling coefficient it depends upon the refractive index and separation fiber axis. After fusion processes of two SMF-28e® couplers, the refractive index is unknown due to change in the radius of fiber (rcladd<40 μm and rcore<1.5 μm). Coupling coefficient range is obtained from a distribution of coupling ratio and compared with the empirical formula which also enables to calculate refractive index. In this experiment, coupling coefficient in the range of 0.6–0.9/mm is calculated as a function of separation fiber axis and refractive index of core and cladding. The result shows a good correlation between experiment and theoretical calculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present the new concept of single electron-hole pair generation by using dark-bright solitons conversion control based on microring resonator coupled to one arm MZI. By using some suitable parameters and found that the single electron-hole pair are seen, therefore, the single electron-hole pair generate can be storage and controll within the design system.

In this paper, we have derived and presented a new concept of multi electron-hole pair generation by using dark-bright soliton collision within the modified add/drop filter, which it is known as PANDA ring resonator. By using the dark-bright soliton conversion control, the obtained outputs of the dynamic states can be used to form the multi electron-hole pair, which can be available for communication security application.
