ASSESSING FOREST TRANSITION BEYOND THE METROPOLITAN FRINGE OF BANGLORE USING GEOSPATIAL TOOLS

Over the years, forestland around Bangalore City, which provides ecological, economical and social benefits to the society, is under transition. This study on forest transition from 2001 to 2011 using Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) revealed an increase in built up by 2% and decrease in cropland by -0.2 % resulting 2.57% for-est transition around Bangalore city. Bangalore Rural and the adjacent Ramanagara district show highest builtup of 50.8Ha and cropland area 241.5Ha respectively. Whereas the combined forest transition is seen more in Bangalore rural district (4.05%) followed by Bangalore Urban District (3.10%). 1.21% of the forest transition is seen in vegetated forest area which includes more of forest plantation. The forest-type wise transition is seen more in Eucalyptus forest type (0.49%) followed by mixed forest plantation (0.47%) and scrub forest (0.21%). In a scenario where in urban ex-pansion takes place at an unregulated pace invading pressure on forest, it becomes important to execute strict landuse and forest policies avoiding further transition in the forest area....

OPTIMUM SOLUTION OF ECONOMIC LOAD DISPATCH PROBLEM

Economic load dispatch is the process of allocating available generating units in such a way to satisfied the load demand and fulfill the constraints so that the total fuel cost is minimized. Particle swarm optimization is a population- based optimization technique that can be applied to a wide range of problems. This paper used a novel PSO called Time Varying Acceleration coefficients PSO, which has the ability to explore the particles in the search spaces more effectively and increases their convergence rates. In this paper the power and usefulness of the TVAC-PSO algorithm is demonstrated through its application for six generator systems with constraints....

HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE ACQUISITION

In this paper we recommend a novel method for high dynamic range image acquisition (HDRI) which is performed by combining multiple images taken with different exposures and estimating the irradiance values of each pixel, under various types of occlusion (object to object and object to scene occlusion) and scale change of object (small or large object) in real-time video. This is a common process for HDRI acquisition. In our approach firstly we apply some methods in original images like grey conversion, binary conversion, filter conversion, image resize, image sharpening to remove noise and to avoid minute changes in the image. By using the MAP (Maximum a Posteriori) estimation we can easily estimates displacement, occlusion and saturated regions simultaneously. In this paper we present the efficient and accurate multiple exposure fusion technique for HDRI acquisition to address the problems....

QUASI PSEUDO PROJECTIVE MODULE & QUASI PSEUDO INJECTIVITY MODULE

In this paper we generalize the pseudo projective and pseudo Injective module byWu and jans (1967). Characterizations of semi-simple rings by using pseudo Injectivity and that of Commutative semi-simple ring by using pseudo Injectivity have been provided (Singh and Jain 1967).It has also been provided that if every module has a pseudo projective cover then it is also has a quasi projective cover and hence a projective cover....

A STUDY ON TWO-DEGREE OF FREEDOM SPEED CONTROLLER FOR SYNCHRONOUS RELUCTANCE MOTOR

Recently, due to increasing adoption of energy-saving policy, SynRM (Synchronous Reluctance Motor) is used as machinery, home appliance, automotive and robotic applications. The features of SynRM are high power, high efficiency and high performance. To obtain a high performance in a direct vector controlled SynRM, it is essential to obtain robust control system of railway vehicle. Two degree of freedom controller is applied to SynRM in order to resist disturbance, error of system. The proper control scheme possesses a prominent aspect in that it can force the systems to follow the desired reference model. The proposed method utilize the combination of PID controller and PD controller. The validity of proposed algorithm is verified through the MATLAB/Simulink and the experimental results....

A STUDY ON THE SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR HIGH EFFICIENCY CONTROL METHOD FOR ISG

Recently, many vehicles have applied electric parts for sav-ing fuel consumption and reducing levels of environmental pollution. ISG (Integrated Starter and Generator) system is one of main electric parts of following these trends and can improve fuel efficiency. If ISG motor and inverter are driven by appropriate switching time, it can be a more efficient system operation than existing ISG operation method. In this paper, we studied Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) and Switched Reluctance Driver (SRD) for ISG system and then showed the results of comparing the experimental data and simulation. As a result, the SRM for electric vehicles are feasible in practice and has a good prospect....

OPTIMAL SPEED CONTROLLING OF INDUCTION MOTOR USING NEW PSO

Different parameter change during the industrial operation and due to this changes system going to be unstable and hence and error is occurred in the system. Systems are unable to overcome these types of error and hence process should be interrupted or outcomes are not corrected. To remove such problems need some controller to overcome the errors and made system stable. In generally PI controller used for controlling the industrial process. By proper tuning of such controller parameter system can be controlled more accurately. In this work proposed a new particle swarm optimization technique with constriction factor for optimum tuning of the PI controller parameters, were PI controller is used for the speed control of induction motor. First of all we find out the optimum tuned value of PI constants and then it is applied to the vector control method of IM. Results obtained by these tuned value of PI controller gives the smooth control of 3 phase induction motor. It seen form PSO is a social based optimization techniques inspired by fish schooling or birds flocking. This PSO technique has the ability to obtain the optimum solution of the nonlinear problem....
