Reach Enhanced Is-OWC System using Double Sideband Suppressed (DSS) DP-QPSK
Scientific article
Insophisticated situations coming from developing multimedia applications and the exponential increase in the number of smart sensors and devices, future wireless networks will ensure high reliability, low latency, scalability, as well as better quality-of-service.Optical wireless communication (OWC) becomes more important because it can take advantage of the light medium's unique selling points over RF, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ultra-high capacity, the ability to communicate wirelessly through water, and the ability to provide additional security. Dual polarization (DP) enabled multilevel modulations in inter satellite optical wireless communication (Is-OWC) are potential and capacity building techniques to cope up with bandwidth explosive demands. Therefore, inthis work, a reach enhanced single channel Is-OWC is proposed using Double Sideband Suppressed (DSS) dual polarized (DP) Quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation. Spectral efficiency of carrier is improved through DSS technique using Mach-Zehndar modulator (MZM) and millimeter wave (mm- wave). Further, pulse width reduction, nonlinear effects suppression, carrier phase estimation (CPE) and frequency offset estimation (FPE) is performed by Digital signal processor (DSP) in coherent receiver of PDM-QPSK. Performance comparison of DP-QPSK and DSS-DP-QPSK is performed at different link lengths in terms of log BER and error vector magnitude (EVM%). Results revealed that proposed system i.e., DSS-DP-QPSK at 160 Gbps data rate covers 44,000 km Is-OWC distance with acceptable log BER as compared to 40,000 km in DP-QPSK due to improved spectral efficiency of carrier spectrum of proposed system.

Reactive Power Market Clearing based on Pay-as-Bid Method with System Security
Scientific article
This paper presents a marketing mechanism based on the Pay-As-Bid (PAB) method for reactive power ancillary services in the deregulated electricity market. Security, reliability and the location is major concern for Independent System Operator (ISO). So a modified Optimal Power Flow (OPF) optimization method is proposed in this paper to provide the system security. Firstly, the reactive power solution is obtained by solving a modified OPF model which maximizes system loadability subject to transmission security constraints imposed by thermal limits, voltage limits and stability limits. This modified OPF model is used for ensuring systemsecurity as well as for contingency analysis. Secondly, the Expected Payment Function (EPF) of generators is used to develop a bidding framework while Total Payment Function (TPF) based OPF is used to clear the PAB market. For the simulation and analysis purposes, a 24 bus RTS network is used in normal condition as well as in worst contingency state. The system security is preserved even in the worst contingency state.

Real Time Implementation of Driver Drowsiness Monitoring System Using SVM Classifier
Scientific article
Nowadays, as transportation is increasing day by day and the probability of occurance of it in future is also very high. There are so many people travel an hours together every day, due to lack of rest the driver may feel tired or drowsy and may fall asleep. This may lead to several highway calamities causing to severe injuries, loss of human life etc. So solve this issue we propose a driver drowsiness monitoring system that helps in avoiding major accidents. The proposed method detects the status of the driver of the vehicle using the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) and Mouth Opening Ratio (MOR) techniques. The developed system includes a Pi camera, Raspberry Pi module and is used to detect and analyze continuously the eye closure status in real-time. When drowsiness is detected buzzer sound will alert the driver which significantly helps in reducing the percentage of highway calamities by alerting.

Menstrual discomfort significantly affects women’s productivity and engagement in structured environments such as offices, schools, colleges, and conferences. However, current access control systems fail to address this issue, resulting to inadequate accommodation. To bridge this gap, we propose an AI-driven menstrual detection system that uses closed-circuit (CC) cameras for facial recognition. Leveraging deep learning, our model analyzes facial cues—such as skin texture changes, eye fatigue, and puffiness to detect discomfort non-invasively while preserving privacy. To support this research, we introduce the Menstrual Presence Facial Dataset (MAFD-2024), a curated collection of facial images captured before and during menstruation, annotated for pain indicators. Our hybrid CNN-LSTM model (HCL-MD) enhances detection accuracy by 94.1%, combining spatial (facial features) and temporal (symptom progression) analysis. This system integrates with automated access frameworks, enabling real-time adjustments for affected individuals. Beyond access control, technology can be embedded in telemedicine for remote discomfort assessment or deployed in smart wearables and surveillance systems (e.g., in schools or public transport) to offer timely suggestions. By enabling discreet, real-time support, this AI solution fosters inclusivity and awareness, pioneering the fusion of facial recognition and menstrual health monitoring.

Real-time construction of 3D welding torch in virtual space for welding training simulator
Scientific article
One unsolved problem in the development of an effective welding training simulator is how to construct an accurate 3D welding torch model based on the moving position of this torch in the training process. This paper presents an effective approach to deal with the problem. The whole scene is constructed in the base coordinate system and the torch is modeled as a 3D object in the sub-coordinate system. The sub-coordinate system firstly overlaps the base coordinate system, and it’s continuously changing as the trainer operates the torch. A nine axis sensor is installed in the torch at a selected point, which is the origin of the sub-coordinate system. The sensor can measure the rotation posture of the torch. Another marked point that can be captured by the Binocular Vision System (BVS) is installed with an infrared emitter. The BVS can measure the coordinate values of this point in the base coordinate system. As long as the coordinate values of a certain point on the model and its rotation posture based on this point can be determined, the VR development tool, such as Unity-3d,can track the model in real-time. That is the algorithm of this system, which is verified by Pro/E, a 3D modeling software. The approach presented above is applied to a welding training simulator product, which has been put into use and proved to be effective.

Scientific article
The rapid growth of vehicles in Bangladesh has exacerbated traffic congestion, safety concerns, and administrative difficulties, creating an urgent need for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, existing global datasets poorly represent Bangladeshi vehicles, and no region-specific detection models are currently available. To address this gap, this research constructs a balanced augmented dataset combining two public repositories, yielding images across ten vehicle classes. A harmonized dataset of manually verified images was split prior to augmentation, expanding the training set to 24,696 samples. Five deep Convolutional Neural Network architectures are then evaluated using transfer learning and extensive augmentation, and a convex ensemble of three selected models with optimized weights is developed to enhance robustness. The single ConvNeXt model achieves 98.980% ± 0.198% accuracy, while the ensemble attains 98.991% ± 0.156% accuracy. Statistical testing confirms the significance of these results; the ensemble effectively reduces misclassifications between visually similar categories. Overall, the proposed system provides a dependable platform for transportation applications in Bangladesh. Future work will address current limitations in static image and category scope through video-based analysis and lightweight deployment strategies.

Research of Association Rule Mining Algorithm Based on Improved FP-Tree
Scientific article
Mining algorithm of FP-Tree is one of the most effective mining algorithms in association rule mining. It must produce large amounts of the candidate set and scan database repeatedly, but it generates conditional FPTree recursively in the process of mining frequent pattern and wastes the storage space greatly using the common tree's memory structure. It proposed an algorithm for mining frequent patterns by constructing reverse FP-tree with a binary tree storage structure. In mining process, it mines left son tree recursively, but gets frequent pattern not by generating conditional FP-Tree, so it greatly reduces the storage space and running time. The experiments show that the improved algorithm can realize effective mining on the time and space.

Research of the QoC-Aware Service Selection for Middleware Based Pervasive Applications
Scientific article
With the rapid development of information technology, it is inevitable that the distributed mobile computing will evolve to the pervasive computing gradually whose final goal is fusing the information space composed of computers with the physical space in which the people are working and living in. Furthermore, with the development of SOA, more and more pervasive applications have been composed of different kinds of services. So how to choose a suitable service from all the useable services is the most important step for pervasive computing. Compare to the traditional service selection we must take more care of the context as well as the quality of them in pervasive environment. However, most of existing researches pay no attention to QoC (Quality of Service) which may lead to unreliable selections. Therefore we proposed a middleware based service selection scheme to support QoC-aware service selection efficiently.
