This research proposes an additional controller for load frequency control at a micro hydro power plant using PID-SMES. The PID-SMES parameters are optimized using smart methods, Imperialist Competitive Algorithms (ICA), which can find the optimal value of PID-SMES. From the analysis results, obtained on the P controller, overshoot of -0.0002176, with PI Controller -0.0002167, with PD Controller -0.0002128, with PID controller -0.0002118, with SMES controller -0.0001951, and with PID-SMES -4.11e-05. ICA optimization results obtained fitness function value of 1.79846040002633e-08, with 40 iterations. The minimum value of the system performance function at each iteration is plotted on the convergence graph shown. In the Figure it can be seen that the ICA algorithm can quickly converge on the 14th iteration or find the most optimal value at the 7th iteration. The PID-SMES controller proposed in this study has a significant influence in the damping of the oscillations. Therefore, it is proposed to be applied to micro-hydro.

Survey on Word Sense Disambiguation: An Initiative towards an Indo-Aryan Language
Статья научная
Resolution of lexical ambiguity, commonly known as Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) task is to distinguish the correct sense among the set of senses for an ambiguous term depending on the particular context automatically. It plays the vital role as it acts as an intermediate phase to many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications like Machine Translation, Information Retrieval, Speech Processing, Hypertext navigation, Parts-of -Speech tagging. Existing literature reveals that there are various approaches for lexical ambiguity resolution-Knowledge based, Corpus based. In recent years, many WSD systems is being developed in Indian languages like Hindi, Malayalam, Manipuri, Nepali, Kannada but no such automated system has yet emerged for the Indo-Aryan language- Assamese. Our future work aims to develop a model for the WSD problem which is fast, optimal and efficient in terms of accuracy and scalability. This paper presents a survey report made in this research topic discussing the WSD problem, various approaches along with their algorithms. Moreover it also list out the various NLP applications which would be efficient when disambiguation system is merged.

Статья научная
This paper discerns key ideas and themes of the possibility of growing Ni doped ZnO nanoparticles by electrochemical method. The purpose is to study the growth mechanism and to optimize the parameters of this method. Upon successful synthesizing the samples, they were characterized using various techniques. XRD, SEM, FTIR, photoluminescence spectroscopy together with the measured optical parameters obtained from UV-VIS absorption testing were analyzed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) was measured by using a Bruker D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer with CuKα radiation. The surface morphology was investigated using an ‘EVO LS 15’ scanning electron microscope. The FTIR absorption spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer GX FTIR system. The PL spectra were collected on a Jobin Yvon-Horiba Triax 190 spectrometer with a spectral resolution of 0.3 nm. UV-VIS absorption spectrum was recorded by using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer in the photon wavelength range between 300 and 600 nm. XRD pattern reveals that the polycrystalline of hexagonal wurtzite structure and the average size of the particles were estimated to be approximately 61 nm, which conform the nanoparticle. The FTIR result shows the stretching vibration of the Zn-O bond in Ni doped ZnO nanoparticles. There is a green emission peak centered at about 384 nm in the PL behavior. The band edge is shifted to the lower energy side of the Ni doped ZnO nanoparticle. Analyzing the results of various types of characterizations, it has been assessed that Ni doped ZnO nanoparticles was successfully synthesized.

Technical Improvement of Air Pollution Through Fossil Power Plant Waste Management
Статья научная
Fly ash was generally released into the atmosphere in the past, but standards for air pollution control now require that it be captured before release by fitting pollution control equipment. During this process, there are many wastes for example ash and fly ash which is a waste. It is invisible, it has a nasty, and sharp smell. It affects human health when it is breathed in. It irritates the airways to cause coughing and shortness of breath. About 99% of the ash and fly ash in the air comes from human sources. The objective of this study is to reduce wastes and manage it. This project shows two different ways of waste management for two different locations which are Lukut, Malaysia, and Hanau, Germany. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. The ash pond offers cheap costs and an easy process but exposes the fly ash and its sometimes-hazardous components to the environment. The electrostatic filter acquires more knowledge and is higher in Installation costs, but keeps fly ashes safe in a closed process the electrostatic filter seems to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The finding shows that this treatment was successful in reducing the wastes and managing it.

Textural analysis based classification of digital X-ray images for dental caries diagnosis
Статья научная
In this paper, we propose a suitable textural feature for diagnosis of dental caries in digital radiographs. The dental diagnosis system consists of Laplacian filter for image sharpening, adaptive threshold and morphological operations for segmentation, and support vector machine (SVM) as a classifier. In segmented image, textural features are extracted, and applied to the classifier, to classify the image as caries or normal. Experimental results indicate that GLCM (Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix) and GLDM (Grey Level Difference Method) textural features are giving better performance measures as compared to other types of textural features with an accuracy of 96.88%, sensitivity of 1, specificity of 0.8667 and precision of 96.08%. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), at a significant level of 5%. This result indicates that the interaction of feature extraction methods on performance measures are significant. Hence, GLCM or GLDM features provide reliable decision support for dental caries diagnosis.
