Abstract

Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has been applied to medium and high - voltage power systems recently because it has many advantages over other multilevel converters. This paper will present the algorithms of Nearest Level Modulation (NLM) and capacitor voltage balancing to greatly reduce the switching frequency as well as producing an output voltage at the AC side with very low harmonic distortion. The experimental system for the MMC converter requires a large amount of I/O signals ports. However, Digital Signal Processor (DSP) only provides up to 24 I/O signals ports while the experimental system of the MMC converter needs more than that. In this paper, the experimental system used FPGA to embed the proposed methods and applied to an MMC with 12 Sub-Modules (SM) to generate a 13-level AC voltage waveform. In this case, FPGA is the most suitable choice to develop the control circuit for the experimental system of MMC. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was verified by simulations and tested using a laboratory – scale prototype.

Abstract

Recent advancements in large language models and multiagent large language model based systems show that these technologies can be applied to a large number of problems. They can automate complex tasks and perform advanced analyses that would take an expert a significant amount of time. This article describes a multiagent large language model (LLM) based platform for investment advisory in the energy natural resources sector. The system integrates multiple types of investment analyses e.g. technical analysis, fundamental analysis, sentiment analysis and stock price prediction. The approach of integrating multiple types of analyses in one system allows the investor to save significant amount of time on analyzing potential investments.

Abstract

Swarm intelligence algorithms are widely recognized for their efficiency in solving complex optimization problems. However, their scalability poses challenges, particularly with large problem instances. This study investigates the time performance of swarm intelligence algorithms by leveraging parallel computing on both central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). The focus is on optimizing algorithms designed for range search in Euclidean space to enhance GPU execution. Additionally, the study explores swarm-inspired solutions specifically tailored for GPU implementations, emphasising improving efficiency in video rendering and computer simulations. The findings highlight the potential of GPU-accelerated swarm intelligence solutions to address scalability challenges in large-scale optimization, offering promising advancements in the field.

Abstract

This work focuses on quantum methods for cryptanalysis of schemes based on the integer factorization problem and the discrete logarithm problem. We demonstrate how to practically solve the largest instances of the factorization problem by improving an approach that combines quantum and classical computations, assuming the use of the best publicly available special-class quantum computer: the quantum annealer. We achieve new computational experiment results by solving the largest instance of the factorization problem ever announced as solved using quantum annealing, with a size of 29 bits. The core idea of the improved approach is to leverage known subexponential classical method to break the problem down into many smaller computations and perform the most critical ones on a quantum computer. This approach does not reduce the complexity class, but it assesses the pragmatic capabilities of an attacker. It also marks a step forward in the development of hybrid methods, which in practice may surpass classical methods in terms of efficiency sooner than purely quantum computations will.

Abstract

Quantum computations are very important branch of modern cryptology. According to the number of working physical qubits available in general-purpose quantum computers and in quantum annealers, there is no coincidence, that nowadays quantum annealers allow to solve larger problems. In this paper we focus on solving discrete logarithm problem (DLP) over binary fields using quantum annealing. It is worth to note, that however solving DLP over prime fields using quantum annealing has been considered before, no author, until now, has considered DLP over binary fields using quantum annealing. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to bridge this gap. We present a polynomial transformation of the discrete logarithm problem over binary fields to the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem, using approximately 3n2 logical variables for the binary field F2n. In our estimations, we assume the existence of an optimal normal base in the given fields. Such a QUBO instance can then be solved using quantum annealing.

Abstract

This paper presents a generalization of a method allowing the transformation of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) over prime fields to the Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem. The original method requires that a given elliptic curve model has complete arithmetic. The new one has no such restriction, which is a breakthrough. Since the mentioned obstacle is no longer a problem, the latest version of the algorithm may be used for any elliptic curve model. As a result, one may use quantum annealing to solve ECDLP on any given model of elliptic curves.

Abstract

In this paper we construct and consider a new password authenticated key life-cycle management scheme (PAKMS) with key update mechanism, which uses random q-ary lattices as its domain. We justify that the scheme is existentially forward unforgeable under a chosen password attack (fu-cpwda). To this end, we show that breaking this scheme let us to construct a polynomial-time adversary that is able to solve small integer solution (SIS) problem. Since the security of the scheme is based on computational hardness of SIS problem, it tuns out to be resistant to both classical and quantum computations. The keyupdating mechanism is based on some properties of binary trees, with a number of leaves being the same as a number of time periods in the scheme. The forward-security is gained under the assumption that one out of two hash functions is modeled as a random oracle.

Abstract

This article presents a novel speech cryptosystem by using chaotic maps and Deoxyribonucleic Acid coding. Initially, the speech signal is divided into four equal blocks. Then the speech samples in each block are submitted to confusion/diffusion via four different chaotic maps. The gained ciphered speech samples and the obtained chaotic sequence from Sine map are encoded via DNA rules. The consequent coded sequences from the previous step are merged via DNA/XNOR to get the coded DNA signal. Ultimately, the resulted signal is decoded to acquire the definitive ciphered signal. The experiments prove the efficiency and robustness of the suggested method.

Abstract

The syndrome decoding problem (SDP) is an NPcomplete problem that has important applications in the development of post-quantum cryptography. Currently, the most efficient algorithms for SDP are based on the Information Set Decoding (ISD) approach that leverages efficiently time-memory and probability trade-offs. In our contribution, we explore a different approach based on transforming an instance of the SDP problem into a so-called Multiple Right-Hand-Sides (MRHS) Equation system. The MRHS system is then solved with a specialized MRHS solver. We explore how difficult is to solve (small) instances of SDP in MRHS form, and which trade-offs and parametric selections lead to the best results. Although our practical results are worse than those obtained by ISD, we believe that they show a better understanding of the connection between SDP and its MRHS representation, and can be a basis for future improvements.

Abstract

Abstract—In the current internet era, the security of digital images has become increasingly important due to their numerous applications and uses. Although many researchers have proposed end-to-end security and authenticity against various attacks, achieving security, validation, and robustness together has been a challenge. This paper proposes a model called Low-Frequency Embedding and Elliptical Curve Cryptography (LFE-ECC), which provides all the necessary requirements for image security. The proposed model achieves image validation for the authentic sender by embedding a secret signature in the low-frequency region of the image. The robustness of the image is achieved by embedding a secret signature at a selected coefficient of the DWT feature. The moth flame optimization genetic algorithm is used for coefficient selection, and the additional security of embedded images is achieved using the elliptical curve cryptography technique. ECC provides encryption and validation for both parties. An experiment is conducted on real and artificial datasets under ideal and attack environments, and the results demonstrate the improved performance of the proposed LFE-ECC model against a range of attacks.

Abstract

In this work, we consider a class of mappings over bit vectors which imitate the multiplication by small constants with pure logic operations and non-cyclic shifts. Such mappings can provide non-linearity and strengthen the design of LRXcryptosystems, which are widely used in lightweight cryptography, due to their apparent benefits: a simple implementation and the absence of internal rotational symmetry, which increases security against rotational attacks. We examine the security of these mappings against differential cryptanalysis. We provide an explicit easy-to-calculate expression of differential probabilities for several versions of LRX-analogues of small constant multiplication with different operations and shift values.

Abstract

Addiction is a physiological or emotional dependence on a substance, activity, or mode of action that is so severe that it causes harmful physical or emotional effects and prevents the individual from coping effectively with life and interacting with society. The most effective method of treating addiction is group therapy. However, the traditional building of a therapy group, based solely on periodic meetings and discussions, is a timeconsuming, labour-intensive, and costly process. We propose a method and tools to support the therapist in building an effective therapy group. This support is based on the use of a mechanism of mutual trust. Our proposed use of information and communication solutions and the machine learning method reduces the timeconsumption of the whole process and, thus, the workload and costs of building a therapy group. We use mobile applications to collect the necessary data from therapy participants. This data, via wireless networks, is sent to a data center. There, they are processed using machine learning. The method presented, and the information and communication environment prepared for it can be applied to a specific substance and behavioural addictions, as well as mixed addictions.

Abstract

The article presents the design of a controller for an experimental magnetotherapy device. The controller realizes precise, digital generation of a 3-phase sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 1 Hz to 5 kHz and slowly variable frequency modulation of 1 Hz to 5 Hz, which is a novelty in the field of magnetotherapy. The structure and operation of the analog filter path and the regulation of the amplitude and the DC component are discussed. A fast STM32F334 microcontroller was used to generate the signal, and an ATmega2560 microcontroller was used to operate the user interface with a color touch display. Laboratory and therapeutic tests confirmed proper operation of the controller.

Abstract

The authors offer the structure of the informationanalytical system (IAS) for monitoring gender equality (MGE) among university staff (lecturers). The proposed architecture of the IAS MGE represents an integrated approach to collecting, analyzing and monitoring personnel data considering gender aspects. An additional criterion for monitoring gender equality in the selection of candidates for vacant positions in universities is proposed, which will reduce the likelihood of prejudiced decisions at the recruitment stage and create a more equitable university environment.

Abstract

The research in the field of quantum electronics is gaining more momentum over the solid state physics device design. In the proposed research we have designed an ultra compact optical T flip-flop in two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhCs) on a rectangular lattice with 16 × 9 dielectric rods in air configuration. The principle mechanism used here is adding an extra input called reference input to achieve logic high for no power applied at the input of T flip-flop. The two junctions are created for guiding the light wave towards the output. The reference input and one refractive index varied dielectric rod placed near the junction to confine the ouput power along with T input. At the junction of the input-output we have used the constructive and destructive interference method to achieve maximum light confinement in the output. The plane wave expansion (PWE) method is used to compute the photonic band gap (PBG) and the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to analyze electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation inside the waveguides. The time for input arrival at the output also significantly improved with reduction in the chip size. The response time for the proposed T flip-flop is 0.0049 ps and contrast ratio achieved is 13.60 dB with a chip area of 49.5 μm2.

Abstract

Abstract—In this paper, the Brillouin spectra of silica-based optical fibers were investigated, and their temperature and strain dependence were determined. The values of the thermal coefficients are more diverse than those of the strain, based on the twelve commercially available optical fibers. The values ranging from 1.1 to 1.4 MHz/°C and from 0.043 to 0.053 MHz/με for the thermal and strain coefficients, respectively. Furthermore, the temperature influence on Brillouin frequency shift was measured for tight buffer and loose tube type cables. Long-term measurements of the outside ambient temperature were carried out to determine the absolute error in comparison to thermocouple.

Abstract

The patch antenna usually used for many wireless applications, and fifth generation (5G) is the most attracting application in the field of millimeter wave communications recently. The researchers worked on solving problems those considered milestones against using patch antenna for 5G applications such as being an antenna with moderate gain and narrow operating bandwidth with high side lobe levels. In this article a microstrip patch antenna had been presented to operate over the n258 – Band for 5G communications at 26 GHz with an operating bandwidth around than 7 GHz. The proposed antenna was printed on Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. A high gain of 8.10 dB had been achieved with high Front – to – Back ratio of 24.47 dB and very low side lobe levels far field radiation pattern around -17 dB. The proposed antenna covered the operating bandwidth n258 for fifth generation applications in range of (24.25 – 27.50) GHz. The Computer simulation Technology (CST) had been used as a simulation environment for this design.

Abstract

Students attending the lecture on quantum information technology are mostly at the level of completing their master’s theses in the disciplines of AEEiTK or ITT. The task is to write a short essay by each student on the hypothetical addition of a narrowly applicable QIT layer to the actual implementation of the thesis, if possible. In most cases, this is possible because QITs cover a very wide range of potential technical applications. Where this is not possible, or in the case of an undefined thesis topic, students should write a more general essay or write their personal opinion on what they think about the future of QIT. The current article is another part of a series of works on this topic with subsequent student groups.

Abstract

The advanced Quantum Information Technologies subject for Ph.D. students in Electronics Engineering and ICT consists of three parts. A few review lectures concentrate on topics which may be of interest for the students due to their fields of research done individually in their theses. The lectures indicate the diversity of the QIT field, resting on physics and applied mathematics, but possessing wide application range in quantum computing, communications and metrology. The individual IQT seminars prepared by Ph.D. students are as closely related to their real theses as possible. Important part of the seminar is a discussion among the students. The task was to enrich, possibly with a quantum layer, the current research efforts in ICT. And to imagine, what value such a quantum enrichment adds to the research. The result is sometimes astonishing, especially in such cases when quantum layer may be functionally deeply embedded. The final part was to write a short paragraph to a common paper related to individual quantum layer addition to the own research. The paper presents some results of such experiment and is a continuation of previous papers of the same style.

Abstract

The railway energy microgrid, in terms of both photovoltaic installation and energy storage, should be dimensioned so that there is no or minimal energy outflow. Only under this assumption - that there is no energy flow outside the microgrid - can the consumer freely define the microgrid without the risk of disagreement from the grid operator. The article presents an optimization analysis of microgrid operation to minimize the energy exported to the grid. The microgrid operation was analysed regarding the load generated by one of Poland's railway traction substations. The Particle Swarm Optimization method was used to optimize microgrid operation. Different photovoltaic panel orientations, values for the maximum energy export, and depth of discharge of energy storage were considered. The results show that it is possible to significantly reduce the value of energy export to the grid and use excess energy to charge the designed optimal battery energy storage. An analysis of the green energy used to power the traction substation was also carried out. The results indicate that it can represent a significant percentage of the energy used to power a traction substation.

Abstract

Building a common, democratic European space is not only a huge economic, industrial and social undertaking. This is a very complex civilizational and political undertaking, of a global nature, but generated in our European space giga-region coordinated by ESA and strongly coupled with the American space giga-region of NASA. Policies for the implementation of common democratic space over other giga-regions are slightly different, so the globalization of the idea of space development is politically and economically highly hybrid. Various space giga-regions are more or less politically and economically susceptible to cooperation and acceptance of certain general principles as a lasting common denominator. In the NASA and ESA giga-regions we have the slogans NewSpace and Space 4.0, which we call together as OpenSpace. A very strong common basis of these giga-regions, but also of China and India, is the emphasis on developing and strengthening the private space sector. It is about the creation, strengthening and development of large companies capable of producing rockets, transport systems for people and goods, as well as numerous SME sector companies that can provide a significant variety of space infrastructure services. The development of space and satellite technologies in Europe is very uneven. Only a few countries have their own infrastructure of a self-sustaining space eco-system. The idea of Space 4.0 includes equalizing space opportunities in Europe. To become globally competitive, Europe must carefully implement its policy of equalizing the development of space technologies in its territory. A version of this paper in Polish was published in Elektronika Monthly by SEP.

Abstract

There are many challenges when it comes to autonomous vehicle movement, one of which is developing an accurate and precise internal mapping system. Autonomous vehicles use internal maps to move from a starting point to destination point. Many methods are used in creating these maps, but because they still display weaknesses, further development is required. This research combines the FastSLAM 2.0 algorithm with a fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) model using the road features recognized by the FCNN algorithm as the object of observation of the FastSLAM 2.0 algorithm. This method was tested to form a map of the environment around the Faculty of Engineering, Sriwijaya University, Inderalaya Campus. In the training, the Adam optimizer and Adam combined with batch normalization (BN) model showed good accuracy: 82.07% and 78.08%, respectively. The application of this method succeeded in forming a map similar to Google Maps using the FCNN observation model. The map that was successfully formed had an IoU of 0.159 against the Google Maps map obtained with the Adam + BN model.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a transmission quality study in a network with a DiffServ architecture. The impact of differentiated services based on traffic prioritisation was studied. A carrier network model in a differentiated services architecture with traffic prioritisation was designed and tested. The operator network used the OSPF protocol, while the client networks communicated using the EIGRP protocol. Different traffic classes in the queueing systems were studied, influencing delay and delay variation. Traffic generated with Exfo FTB-860 test equipment was introduced into the designed network. The measurement equipment used supported the ITUT Y.1564 measurement methodologies. The transmission quality was tested according to the EtherSAM methodology and carried out in bidirectional mode. The tests carried out showed the influence of different data lengths on the quality of transmission in the test network. The results proved that the correct implementation of QoS mechanisms in the network makes it possible to ensure the required quality of service. It was shown that for delaysensitive traffic which fluctuates beyond its nominal speed, queuing systems allow transmission quality to be achieved with guaranteed bandwidth and delay.

Abstract

In this article the measurement results and their comparison with simulation results will be shown. The obtained measurement results prove for the first time in the technical literature the real occurrence of many selective fading in the DAB + signal band. The high compliance of the measurement results of the fade characteristics with the simulation results, which were also presented in the article, indicates the possibility of predicting the areas and characteristics of fades on the basis of simulation tests. Thus, on their basis, it will be possible to determine the places where this phenomenon occurs and take it into account in the process of planning the SFN network.

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive event-triggered control approach for a class of unknown dynamics networked stringent feedback nonlinear systems is developed. The approximation of system uncertainties by a wavelet neural network (WNN) frequently presents a significant obstacle in the development of a precise control strategy. In order to guarantee the specified system performance and Zeno-free behaviour of networked control systems, we build an adaptive event triggering mechanism that is enhanced with WNN and outfitted with predetermined event triggering circumstances. In order to ensure the uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) of all closed loop signals, the controller works to reduce the amount of information exchanged between the sensor and the controller. We offer numerical simulations to demonstrate the efficiency of the suggested plan.

Abstract

WSNs (Wireless sensor networks) have lately gained popularity such as remote tracking, a wide range of applications where information transfer through nodes to base stations necessitates a substantial amount of power. As a consequence, efficient routing methods for forwarding data to the base station should be used to decrease energy utilization and thus prolong the network's life span. Thus, Deterministic energy efficient protocol enhanced with deep learning model is proposed to obtain optimal routing that indirectly improves the life span of WSN. Ant Colony (AC) Environment is considered for system optimization with the goal of picking the proper conceivable clusters in the shortest amount of duration in a feasible cluster. Furthermore, in routing optimization to increase the effectiveness of service, a Newly Designed Enhanced Ant Colony has been suggested, where premier operators were used to increase speed of iteration and choose the shortest path. Ultimately, a Deep Convolution Classifier is used to discover the optimal path. Consequently, compared to other existing methods, our suggested model enhances QoS, reduces energy consumption, and provides superior routing to the sensor nodes, all of which mobile nodes increase their lifespan.

Abstract

Source localization is a highly challenging and complex task in underwater environments due to uncertainties and unknown sound propagation speed profiles i n underwater channels, as well as increased Doppler effects and constraints on the energy sources of the sensor nodes. To address these issues, we propose an energy-efficient J oint G aussian M ixture Model with a Bayesian approach for localization algorithms, aiming to improve Received Signal Strength (RSS) accuracy. In this article, we represent the additive noise using a Gaussian Mixture Model to calculate the maximum likelihood estimation. The Bayesian statistical approach solves the convex optimization problem to find effective globally optimal solutions. These joint methods help mitigate the underwater Doppler spread effects and improve the estimation of sensor node positions. The simulated results are analyzed, and the performance metrics show that the proposed GMM-Bayesian approach is very close to the Cram´er-Rao Lower Bound and this method also outperforms other existing localization algorithms in terms of lower Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) relative to anchor nodes and a better Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) for localization errors. From the simulation results, it is evident that the proposed approach achieves substantial performance gains in the localization of underwater wireless sensor networks.

Abstract

With the recent development in wireless communication systems and wireless sensors, Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) have drawn worldwide attention to control and monitor the physical environment away from places that could be dangerous or challenging to access. The sensor nodes have no power supply. Therefore, the energy harvesting technique is a key solution that has shown good potential instead of their battery dependency. This paper presents a design and simulation of an efficient RF energy harvesting rectifier circuit for powering WSNs nodes. The single and multi-stages of the voltage doubler rectifier (VDR) circuit based on HSMS 2860 Schottky barrier diode (SBDs) has been simulated using layout and investigated at the operating frequency of 5.8 GHz using ADS software. The simulated results achieve a good performance at the optimum load (RL) of 2.2k. The conversion efficiency and DC output voltage of single stage VDR are about 74% and 3.85 V respectively at the RF input power of 20dBm. Finally, the simulation results of the proposed circuit have been obtained using layout EM Co-Simulation, lumped element LC, and Microstrip transmission line MTL are better matched.
