This research paper explains the effect of the dimensions of Gate-all-around Si nanowire tunneling field effect transistor (GAA Si-NW TFET) on ON/OFF current ratio, drain induces barrier lowering (DIBL), sub-threshold swing (SS), and threshold voltage (V T ). These parameters are critical factors of the characteristics of tunnel field effect transistors. The Silvaco TCAD has been used to study the electrical characteristics of Si-NW TFET. Output (gate voltage-drain current) characteristics with channel dimensions were simulated. Results show that 50nm long nanowires with 9nm-18nm diameter and 3nm oxide thickness tend to have the best nanowire tunnel field effect transistor (Si-NW TFET) characteristics.
Geometric and process design of ultra-thin junctionless double gate vertical ...IJECEIAES
The junctionless MOSFET architectures appear to be attractive in realizing the Moore’s law prediction. In this paper, a comprehensive 2-D simulation on junctionless vertical double-gate MOSFET (JLDGVM) under geometric and process consideration was introduced in order to obtain excellent electrical characteristics. Geometrical designs such as channel length (Lch) and pillar thickness (Tp) were considered and the impact on the electrical performance was analyzed. The influence of doping concentration and metal gate work function (WF) were further investigated for achieving better performance. The results show that the shorter Lch can boost the drain current (ID) of n-JLDGVM and p-JLDGVM by approximately 68% and 70% respectively. The ID of the n-JLVDGM and p-JLVDGM could possibly boost up to 42% and 78% respectively as the Tp is scaled down from 11nm to 8nm. The channel doping (Nch) is also a critical parameter, affecting the electrical performance of both n-JLDGVM and p-JLDGVM in which 15% and 39% improvements are observed in their respective ID as the concentration level is increased from 1E18 to 9E18 atom/cm3. In addition, the adjustment of threshold voltage can be realized by varying the metal WF.

In this paper, we present the impact of downscaling of nano-channel dimensions of Indium Arsenide Fin Feld Effect Transistor (InAs- FinFET) on electrical characteristics of the transistor, in particular; (i) ION/IOFF ratio, (ii) Subthreshold Swing (SS), Threshold voltage (VT), and Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL). MuGFET simulation tool was utilized to simulate and compare the considered characteristics based on variable channel dimensions: length, width and oxide thickness. The results demonstrate that the best performance of InAs- FinFET was achieved with channel length = 25 nm, width= 5 nm, and oxide thickness between 1.5 to 2.5 nm according to the selected scaling factor (K = 0.125).
Performance analysis of ultrathin junctionless double gate vertical MOSFETsjournalBEEI
The main challenge in MOSFET minituarization is to form an ultra-shallow source/drain (S/D) junction with high doping concentration gradient, which requires an intricate S/D and channel engineering. Junctionless MOSFET configuration is an alternative solution for this issue as the junction and doping gradients is totally eliminated. A process simulation has been developed to investigate the impact of junctionless configuration on the double-gate vertical MOSFET. The result proves that the performance of junctionless double-gate vertical MOSFETs (JLDGVM) are superior to the conventional junctioned double-gate vertical MOSFETs (JDGVM). The results reveal that the drain current (ID) of the n-JLVDGM and p-JLVDGM could be tremendously enhanced by 57% and 60% respectively as the junctionless configuration was applied to the double-gate vertical MOSFET. In addition, junctionless devices also exhibit larger ION/IOFF ratio and smaller subthreshold slope compared to the junction devices, implying that the junctionless devices have better power consumption and faster switching capability.

Investigation and design of ion-implanted MOSFET based on (18 nm) channel lengthTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The aim of this study is to invistgate the characteristics of Si-MOSFET with 18 nm length of ion implemented channel. Technology computer aided design (TCAD) tool from Silvaco was used to simulate the MOSFET’s designed structure in this research. The results indicate that the MOSFET with 18 nm channel length has cut-off frequency of 548 GHz and transconductance of 967 μS, which are the most important factors in calculating the efficiency and improving the performance of the device. Also, it has threshold voltage of (-0.17 V) in addition obtaining a relatively small DIBL (55.11 mV/V). The subthreshold slope was in high value of 307.5 mV/dec. and this is one of the undesirable factors for the device results by short channel effect, but it does not reduce its performance and efficiency in general.

A simulation based design evaluation is reported for SOI FinFETs at 22nm gate length. The impact of device parameters on the static power dissipation and delay of a CMOS inverter is presented. Fin dimensions such as Fin width and height are varied. For a given gate oxide thickness increasing the fin height and fin width degrades the SCEs, while improves the performance. It was found that reducing the fin thickness was beneficial in reducing the off state leakage current (IOFF), while reducing the fin height was beneficial in reducing the gate leakage current (IGATE). It was found that Static power dissipation of the inverter increases with fin height due to the increase in leakage current, whereas delay decreased with increase fin width due to higher on current. The performance of the inverter decreased with the downscaling of the gate oxide thickness due to higher gate leakage current and gate capacitance.
Temperature dependent analytical model for submicron GaAs-MESFETjournalBEEI
MESFET are used in circuitsof gigahertz frequencies as they are based on gallium arsenide (GaAs) having electron mobility six times higher than that of silicon. An analytical model simulating different device current-voltage characteristics, i.e., output conductance and output transconductance of a 0.3μm gate MESFET with temperature dependence is proposed. The model is validated by comparing the results of the proposed model and those of the numerical simulation. The parameter values are computed using an intrinsic MESFET of two-dimensional geometry. In this work, the distribution of different output loads for varied applied voltages is considered. Simulation results obtainedunder temperature variation effectsfor load distribution and applied driven voltage variation are considered. The RMS and average errors between the different models and GaAs MESFET simulations are calculated to evidence the proposed model accuracy. This was demonstrated by a good agreement between the proposed model and the simulation results, which are found in good agreement. The simulation results obtained under temperature variations were discussed and found to complement those obtained in the literature. This clarifies the relevance of the suggested model analytical.

Design & Performance Analysis of DG-MOSFET for Reduction of Short Channel Eff...IJERA Editor
An aggressive scaling of conventional MOSFETs channel length reduces below 100nm and gate oxide thickness below 3nm to improved performance and packaging density. Due to this scaling short channel effect (SCEs) like threshold voltage, Subthreshold slope, ON current and OFF current plays a major role in determining the performance of scaled devices. The double gate (DG) MOSFETS are electro-statically superior to a single gate (SG) MOSFET and allows for additional gate length scaling. Simulation work on both devices has been carried out and presented in paper. The comparative study had been carried out for threshold voltage (VT), Subthreshold slope (Sub VT), ION and IOFF Current. It is observed that DG MOSFET provide good control on leakage current over conventional Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET. The VT (Threshold Voltage) is 2.7 times greater than & ION of DG MOSFET is 2.2 times smaller than the conventional Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET.
Six-port Interferometer for W-band Transceivers: Design and CharacterizationIJECEIAES
The study has presented an extensive analysis of an integrated millimeter wave six-port interferometer, operating over a 10 GHz band, from 80 to 90 GHz. It has covered both semi-unlicensed point-to-point links (81-86 GHz), and imaging sensor system frequencies (above 85 GHz). An in-house process is used to fabricate miniaturized hybrid millimeter wave integrated circuits on a very thin ceramic substrate. Two-port S-parameter measurements are performed on a minimum number of circuits integrated on the same die, exploiting the circuit’s physical symmetry and chosen to collect enough data for full-port characterization. Based on these measurements on an integrated prototype, a six-port circuit computer model implemented and advanced system simulations performed for circuit analysis. Interferometer performances evaluated using several methods: analysis of harmonic balance, qi points’, homodyne quadrature demodulation, and error vector modulation (EVM). The analysis showed that this circuit can directly perform, without any calibration, the demodulation of various PSK and QAM signals over the 10 GHz band, with very good results.

ULTRA HIGH SPEED FACTORIAL DESIGN IN SUB-NANOMETER TECHNOLOGYcscpconf
This work proposes a high speed and low power factorial design in 22nm technology and also it counts the effect of sub nano-meter constraints on this circuit. A comparative study for this
design has been done for 90nm, 45nm and 22nm technology. The rise in circuit complexity and speed is accompanied by the scaling of MOSFET’s. The transistor saturation current Idsat is an important parameter because the transistor current determines the time needed to charge and discharge the capacitive loads on chip, and thus impacts the product speed more than any other transistor parameter. The efficient implementation of a factorial number is carried out by using
a decremented and multipliers which has been lucidly discussed in this paper. Normally in a factorial module a number is calculated as the iterative multiplication of the given number to
the decremented value of the given number. A Parallel adder based decremented has been proposed for calculating the factorial of any number that also includes 0 and 1. The
performances are calculated by using the existing 90-nm CMOS technology and scaling down the existing technology to 45-nm and 22-nm.
This paper proposes a variation – tolerant dual-diameter CNFET-based 7T (seven transistor) SRAM (static random access memory) cell. The use of appropriate DCNT (diameter of CNFET) and hence Vt of CNFETs is a critical piece of our design strategy. In this work, dual-Vt and dual-diameter CNFETs have been used using suitable chiral vectors for appropriate transistors. It also investigates the impact of process, voltage and temperature variations on its design metrics and compares the results with its counterpart − CMOS-based 7T SRAM cell and standard 6T SRAM cell (only few parameters). The proposed SRAM cell offers 1.35× and 1.25× improvement in standby power on an average @ VDD = 1 V and 0.9 V respectively, 30% improvement in SNM (Static Noise Margin) over CMOS-based 7T cell. Proposed design outperforms 6T in terms of 71.4% improvement in RSNM and shows same read stability as its CMOS counterpart, It shows its robustness by offering 1.4× less spread in TRA (read access time) at 1 V and 1.2× less spread in TRA at 0.9 V than that of its CMOS counterpart at the expense of 1.6× read delay. The proposed bitcell also exhibits higher performance while writing (takes 1.3× and 1.2× less TWA (write access time) @ VDD = 1 V and VDD= 0.9 V respectively). It also proves its robustness against process variations by featuring tighter spread in TWA variability (1.4× and 1.2× @ VDD= 1 V and 0.9 V respectively).

Hence, the growth field effect transistor (GFET) is being promoted as one of the worthy contenders due to its superior material characteristics. A 14 nm horizontal double-gate bilayer graphene FET with a high-k/metal gate is proposed, which is composed of hafnium dioxide (HfO2) and tungsten silicide (WSix) respectively. It is simulated and modelled using silvaco ATHENA and ATLAS technology computer-aided design (TCAD) tools, as well as the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array (OA).

Square gate all around MOSFETs are a very promising device structures allowing to continue scaling due to their superior control over the short channel effects. In this work a numerical study of a square structure with single channel is compared to a structure with 4 channels in order to highlight the impact of channels number on the device’s DC parameters (drain current and threshold voltage). Our single channel rectangular GAA MOSFET showed reasonable ratio Ion/Ioff of 10 4 , while our four channels GAA MOSFET showed a value of 10 3 . In addition, a low value of drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) of 60mV/V was obtained for our single channel GAA and a lower value of with 40mv/v has been obtained for our four channel one. Also, an extrinsic transconductance of 88ms/µm have been obtained for our four channels GAA compared to the single channel that is equal to 7ms/µm.
Physical Scaling Limits of FinFET Structure: A Simulation StudyVLSICS Design
In this work an attempt has been made to analyze the scaling limits of Double Gate (DG) underlap and Triple Gate (TG) overlap FinFET structure using 2D and 3D computer simulations respectively. To analyze the scaling limits of FinFET structure, simulations are performed using three variables: finthickness, fin-height and gate-length. From 2D simulation of DG FinFET, it is found that the gate-length (L) and fin-thickness (Tfin) ratio plays a key role while deciding the performance of the device. Drain Induced Barrier Lowering (DIBL) and Subthreshold Swing (SS) increase abruptly when (L/Tfin) ratio goes below 1.5. So, there will be a trade-off in between SCEs and on- current of the device since on-off current ratio is found to be high at small dimensions. From 3D simulation study on TG FinFET, It is found that both fin-thickness (Tfin) and fin-height (Hfin) can control the SCEs. However, Tfin is found to be more dominant parameter than Hfin while deciding the SCEs. DIBL and SS increase as (Leff/Tfin) ratio decreases. The (Leff/Tfin) ratio can be reduced below 1.5 unlike DG FinFET for the same SCEs. However,
as this ratio approaches to 1, the SCEs can go beyond acceptable limits for TG FinFET structure. The relative ratio of Hfin and Tfin should be maximum at a given Tfin and Leff to get maximum on-current per unit width. However, increasing Hfin degrades the fin stability and degrades SCEs.

The impact of channel fin width on electrical characteristics of Si-FinFET IJECEIAES
This paper studies the impact of fin width of channel on temperature and electrical characteristics of fin field-effect transistor (FinFET). The simulation tool multi-gate field effect transistor (MuGFET) has been used to examine the FinFET characteristics. Transfer characteristics with various temperatures and channel fin width (W F =5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 nm) are at first simulated in this study. The results show that the increasing of environmental temperature tends to increase threshold voltage, while the subthreshold swing (SS) and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) rise with rising working temperature. Also, the threshold voltage decreases with increasing channel fin width of transistor, while the SS and DIBL increase with increasing channel fin width of transistor, at minimum channel fin width, the SS is very near to the best and ideal then its value grows and going far from the ideal value with increasing channel fin width. So, according to these conditions, the minimum value as possible of fin width is the preferable one for FinFET with better electrical characteristics.

With integrated circuit scales in the 22-nm regime, conventional planar MOSFETs have approached the limit of their potential performance. To overcome short channel effects 'SCEs' that appears for deeply scaled MOSFETs beyond 10nm technology node many new device structures and channel materials have been proposed. Among these devices such as Gate-all-around FET. Recentely, junctionless GAA MOSFETs JL-GAA MOSFETs have attracted much attention since the junctionless MOSFET has been presented. In this paper, DC characteristics of an n-type JL-GAA MOSFET are presented using a 3-D quantum transport model. This new generation device is conceived with the same doping concentration level in its channel source/drain allowing to reduce fabrication complexity. The performance of our 3D JL-GAA structure with a 20nm gate length and a rectangular cross section have been obtained using SILVACO TCAD tools allowing also to study short channel effects. Our device reveals a favorable on/off current ratio and better SCE characteristics compared to an inversionmode GAA transistor. Our device reveals a threshold voltage of 0.55 V, a sub-threshold slope of 63mV / decade which approaches the ideal value, an Ion/Ioff ratio of 10e + 10 value and a drain induced barrier lowring (DIBL) value of 98mV/V.

Fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) based analog circuits are gaining importance over metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) based circuits with stability and high frequency operations. Comparator that forms the sub block of most of the analog circuits is designed using operational transconductance amplifier (OTA). The OTA is designed using new design procedures and the comparator circuit is designed integrating the sub circuits with OTA. The building blocks of the comparator design such as input level shifter, differential pair with cascode stage and class AB amplifier for output swing are designed and integrated. Folded cascode circuit is used in the feedback path to maintain the common mode input value to a constant, so that the differential pair amplifies the differential signal. The gain of the comparator is achieved to be greater than 100 dB, with phase margin of 65°, common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of above 70 dB and output swing from rail to rail. The circuit provides unity gain bandwidth of 5 GHz and is suitable for high sampling rate data converter circuits.

Threshold voltage model for hetero-gate-dielectric tunneling field effect tra...IJECEIAES
In this paper, a two dimensional analytical model of the threshold voltage for HGD TFET structure has been proposed. We have also presented the analytical models for the tunneling width and the channel potential. The potential model is used to develop the physics based model of threshold voltage by exploring the transition between linear to exponential dependence of drain current on the gate bias. The proposed model depends on the drain voltage, gate dielectric near the source and drain, silicon film thickness, work function of gate metal and oxide thickness. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by simulation results of 2-D ATLAS simulator. Due to the reduction of the equivalent oxide thickness, the coupling between the gate and the channel junction enhances which results in lower threshold voltage. Tunneling width becomes narrower at a given gate voltage for the optimum channel concentration of 10 16 /cm 3 . The higher concentration in the source (N s ) causes a steep bending in the conduction and valence bands compared to the lower concentration which results in smaller tunneling width at the source-channel interface.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Precisely characterizing Li-ion batteries is essential for optimizing their
performance, enhancing safety, and prolonging their lifespan across various
applications, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This
article introduces an innovative nonlinear methodology for system
identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate
electrochemical processes within the battery. Experimental data collected
from a Li-ion battery operating under diverse scenarios are employed to
validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The identified
NARX model exhibits superior accuracy in predicting the battery's behavior
compared to traditional linear models. This study underscores the

insights into the intricate relationships between state-of-charge, voltage, and
current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.
Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Honey is produced exclusively by honeybees and stingless bees which both are well adapted to tropical and subtropical regions such as Malaysia. Stingless bees are known for producing small amounts of honey and are known for having a unique flavor profile. Problem identified that many stingless bees collapsed due to weather, temperature and environment.

The internet of things (IoT) is a revolutionary innovation in many aspects of our society including interactions, financial activity, and global security such as the military and battlefield internet. Due to the limited energy and processing capacity of network devices, security, energy consumption, compatibility, and device heterogeneity are the long-term IoT problems. As a result, energy and security are critical for data transmission across edge and IoT networks. Existing IoT interoperability techniques need more computation time, have unreliable authentication mechanisms that break easily, lose data easily, and have low confidentiality. In this paper, a key agreement protocol-based authentication mechanism for IoT devices is offered as a solution to this issue. This system makes use of information exchange, which must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized users. Using a compact contiki/cooja simulator, the performance and design of the suggested framework are validated. The simulation findings are evaluated based on detection of malicious nodes after 60 minutes of simulation. The suggested trust method, which is based on privacy access control, reduced packet loss ratio to 0.32%, consumed 0.39% power, and had the greatest average residual energy of 0.99 mJoules at 10 nodes.
Fuzzy linear programming with the intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbersIJECEIAES
In real world applications, data are subject to ambiguity due to several factors; fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers propose a great tool to model such ambiguity. In case of hesitation, the complement of a membership value in fuzzy numbers can be different from the non-membership value, in which case we can model using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as they provide flexibility by defining both a membership and a non-membership functions. In this article, we consider the intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem with intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbers, which is a generalization of the previous polygonal fuzzy numbers found in the literature. We present a modification of the simplex method that can be used to solve any general intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem after approximating the problem by an intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy number with n edges. This method is given in a simple tableau formulation, and then applied on numerical examples for clarity.

Prostate cancer is the predominant form of cancer observed in men worldwide. The application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a guidance tool for conducting biopsies has been established as a reliable and well-established approach in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The diagnostic performance of MRI-guided prostate cancer diagnosis exhibits significant heterogeneity due to the intricate and multi-step nature of the diagnostic pathway. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically through the utilization of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, is assuming an increasingly significant role in the field of radiology. In the realm of prostate MRI, a considerable body of literature has been dedicated to the development of various AI algorithms. These algorithms have been specifically designed for tasks such as prostate segmentation, lesion identification, and classification. The overarching objective of these endeavors is to enhance diagnostic performance and foster greater agreement among different observers within MRI scans for the prostate. This review article aims to provide a concise overview of the application of AI in the field of radiology, with a specific focus on its utilization in prostate MRI.
Seizure stage detection of epileptic seizure using convolutional neural networksIJECEIAES
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seventy million individuals worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a neurological disorder. While electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for diagnosing epilepsy and monitoring the brain activity of epilepsy patients, it requires a specialist to examine all EEG recordings to find epileptic behavior. This procedure needs an experienced doctor, and a precise epilepsy diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment. To identify epileptic seizures, this study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on raw scalp EEG signals to discriminate between preictal, ictal, postictal, and interictal segments. The possibility of these characteristics is explored by examining how well timedomain signals work in the detection of epileptic signals using intracranial Freiburg Hospital (FH), scalp Children's Hospital Boston-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) databases, and Temple University Hospital (TUH) EEG. To test the viability of this approach, two types of experiments were carried out. Firstly, binary class classification (preictal, ictal, postictal each versus interictal) and four-class classification (interictal versus preictal versus ictal versus postictal). The average accuracy for stage detection using CHB-MIT database was 84.4%, while the Freiburg database's time-domain signals had an accuracy of 79.7% and the highest accuracy of 94.02% for classification in the TUH EEG database when comparing interictal stage to preictal stage.
Analysis of driving style using self-organizing maps to analyze driver behaviorIJECEIAES
Modern life is strongly associated with the use of cars, but the increase in acceleration speeds and their maneuverability leads to a dangerous driving style for some drivers. In these conditions, the development of a method that allows you to track the behavior of the driver is relevant. The article provides an overview of existing methods and models for assessing the functioning of motor vehicles and driver behavior. Based on this, a combined algorithm for recognizing driving style is proposed. To do this, a set of input data was formed, including 20 descriptive features: About the environment, the driver's behavior and the characteristics of the functioning of the car, collected using OBD II. The generated data set is sent to the Kohonen network, where clustering is performed according to driving style and degree of danger. Getting the driving characteristics into a particular cluster allows you to switch to the private indicators of an individual driver and considering individual driving characteristics.

Because of its spectral-spatial and temporal resolution of greater areas, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has found widespread application in the field of object classification. The HSI is typically used to accurately determine an object's physical characteristics as well as to locate related objects with appropriate spectral fingerprints. As a result, the HSI has been extensively applied to object identification in several fields, including surveillance, agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and precision agriculture. However, because of their enormous size, objects require a lot of time to classify; for this reason, both spectral and spatial feature fusion have been completed. The existing classification strategy leads to increased misclassification, and the feature fusion method is unable to preserve semantic object inherent features; This study addresses the research difficulties by introducing a hybrid spectral-spatial fusion (HSSF) technique to minimize feature size while maintaining object intrinsic qualities; Lastly, a soft-margins kernel is proposed for multi-layer deep support vector machine (MLDSVM) to reduce misclassification. The standard Indian pines dataset is used for the experiment, and the outcome demonstrates that the HSSF-MLDSVM model performs substantially better in terms of accuracy and Kappa coefficient.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

1. INTRODUCTION
The tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is a semiconductors device used to a promising candidate
at low power applications in nanometer scales mostly because the conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor
field effect transistor (MOSFET) approached the physical and thermal limits. However, the essential physical
limitation of MOSFET that is to scale them at the submicron region is the pursuing short channel effects
(SCEs) [1]. The silicon nanowire transistor is also used as a candidate device which has the excellent gate
controlled and highly influenced electrical behavior to overcome the problems caused by short channel
effects [2-5]. In the last decade, the rapid development in shrinking of semiconductors device led to the short
channel effects as very harsh problem such as increasing drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL), and many
research have been done in the last decade to find the substitutive device structure for striving improvements.
Subsequently device structures such as double-gate (DG), surrounding-gate (SG), gate all around (GAA)
and carbon nano tube (CNT) FinFETs and graphene-nano-ribbon (GNR) transistors have been incited
for resolving the scaling matter of bulk transistors [6-11]. Gate all around-silicon nano wire tunneling FET
(GAA-SiNWTFET) has most optimized gate structure than the FinFETs. The key performance for
a transistor is the drain current (Id), drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL), threshold voltage (VT),
sub-threshold slop (SS) and faster switching performance (ION/IOFF) which is related to the sub-threshold slop
when the transistor operate at low voltage [12].

The sub-threshold slop (SS) is the voltage applied on the gate to change the drain current by
decade [13]. To obtaining a low sub-threshold slop (SS < 60mV /dec) and high switching performance
(ION/IOFF > 105
) [14], the quantum mechanism in tunneling TFETs has been introduced as a substitution
carrier injection mechanism in MOSFETs which suffers from thermal limitation [15-17]. Other advantages of
the TFETs are to reduce leakage current, and to provide higher current than the MOSFET, better electrostatic
control, prevention of the short channel effects and suitable to fabricate with CMOS processing techniques
[18-22]. Therefore the TFETs have been gaining popularity over MOSFETs in the technology nodes [23].
Several excellent article and overview have been done in the last few years ago, which summarize the TFET
modern on specific TFET topic [24]. According to aforementioned results that are about characterization and
features for TFET, this paper is proposed .Therefore the importance of the work lies in what it shows from
investigated characterization for electrical parameters which can be critical factor of TFET.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The GAA NW Si-TFET is a P-I-N structure with an intrinsic semiconductor part (I) between heavily
doped source (p+
) and the drain (n+
). By using band-to-band tunneling FET mechanism, gate all around
controls the tunneling between the channel and (source and drain) regions as showed in Figure 1 [25]
Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional area of the device. The silicon channel radius is (R) for the gate length (L)
which has doping concentration with 1016
per cm-3
, SiO2 has been used as a gate oxide dielectric and
the constant doping profile has been selected of 1020
per cm-3
for the both source and drain region.
The tunneling process is transfer electron or hole through the junction, this process causes pairs of electrons
and holes, hence the transfer rates of electrons and holes are opposite and equal [26]. We used in this work
non local band to band tunneling model to vestige the tunneling generation rate across a tunneling length and
incorporates the change in the electric field along the tunneling length. This model is more accurate for
reverse biased tunneling junction with high doping and conservation sub- threshold slop up to 60 mV/ dec.

The device has been structured and simulated by using Silvaco TCAD [27] in specified scaling
down dimensions within underlying physics with tunneling phenomena proposed by Kane [28]. The designed
TFET in this paper, simulate with various dimensions for channel radius (R), channel length (L) and gate
oxide thickness (TOX) to study the electrical characterization and analysis importance parameters effects on
the device such as DIBL, SS, Gm, VT and ON/OFF current ratio. The dimensions profile has been selected to
be (25, 18, 9, 5) nm for channel radius, (200, 100, 50, 25) nm for channel length and (4, 3, 2, 1) nm for gate
oxide thickness. The software can generate useful characteristic GAA TFET curves for researchers,
especially to fully explain the underlying physics of TFET.
This simulation tool is utilized to investigate the characteristics of the Si-GAA TFET based on
various channel’s parameters. The output characteristic curves of the transistor under different conditions and
with different parameters are considered. The effects of variable channel dimensions, namely; channel length,
width and oxide thickness in addition to scaling factor of the TFET, are determined based on the I–V
characteristics that derived from the simulation. In this paper, the Id–Vg characteristics of transistor at
the temperature of 300 K are simulated and evaluated with the simulation parameters for channel lengths,
channel diameters, and channel oxide thicknesses have been listed in Table 1.

Three simulation steps were conducted to evaluate the dimensions dependent performance of TFET
in terms of the considered metrics. In the first step, channel length has been varied, whereas other channel
dimensions (R and Tox) were kept with constant values. In the second step, the effect of changing channel
diameter has been investigated with both channel length and oxide thickness of channel was kept constant.
In the final step, oxide thickness was varied and length and radius of channel were fixed.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
In this section, the results of dimensional effect on the electrical characteristics presented and
discussed. Downscaling of length of channel (L), radios of nanowire of channel (R), and oxide thickness
(TOX) and its effect on the ION/IOFF ratio, sub-threshuld swing (SS), drain indused barrier lowering (DIBL),
treshuld voltage (VT), and transconductance (Gm) of channel have been studied.
3.1. Downscaling channel length
The result of the effect of scaling down of channel length (L) on the electrical characteristics of
GAA NW-TFET has been investigated, the channel length L has been scaled down from 200nm to 25nm,
whereas oxide thickness and radius were kept constant at 1 nm and 5 nm, respectively. Also, the drain
voltage for transfer characteristics has been chosen to be VDD 1 V. The simulation of transfer characteristics
(drain current Id–gate voltage Vg) has been conducted with different values of channel lengths L, where
L=25, 50, 100, 200nm.

Based on the obtained results that illustrated in Figure 3, the ION/IOFF ratio exponentially increases
with the channel length less than 100 nm, while, for channel length above 100nm the ION/IOFF were almost
constant. As shown in Figure 3, the maximum value of the ION/IOFF ratio is more than 3.2*103
at L ≥ 100 nm.
Figure 4 shows the relation of SS and DIBL characteristic with channel length, this figure explain that the SS
improved and decreased as the channel length increased up to 50nm and reached 72.6 mV/dec, while,
for L ≥ 50nm, the values of SS were almost constant. For DIBL, the results in Figure 4 shows that the DIBL
decreases with increasing channel length up to 100nm, then the values of DIBL were almost constant
at 106 mV/V.
Figure 5 shows the relation of length of gate with transconductance (Gm) and threshold voltage (VT),
both VT and Gm increased linearly with L up to L=50nm, then both (Gm and VT) almost constant for
L ≥ 50nm. According these results the best and minimal Lg must be about 50 nm that has best DIBL, Gm and
VT with acceptable ION/IOFF.

3.2. Downscaling channel radius
The minimizing of channel radius R and its effect on the electrical characteristics of GAA TFET
have been investigated in this section. The value of R was changed (5, 9, 18 and 25 nm) while L=200nm and
TOX = 15 nm. Figure 6 shows the electrical characteristics of ION/IOFF ratio depending on the effect of
changing channel radius R. The ION/IOFF ratio for both voltages (VD = 1 V and VG = 1.5 V). The ION/IOFF ratio
is increasing proportional with increasing channel radius. It is possible to recognize that at R lower than
10nm there are highly increasing in ION/IOFF ratios, while at R higher than 10nm there are lower increasing in
ION/IOFF ratios. So, if the channel dimeter minimize from 25nm to 10nm, the ION/IOFF ratios with decreased

from 3.9 *105
to 7*104
respectively. While, the minimizing the channel radius from 10nm to 5nm will drop
down the ION/IOFF ratios from 7*104
to 3.2*103
respectively.
Figure 7 depicts the variation of SS and DIBL values with variable channel radius. The SS highly
improved and increased from 72.8 to 57.5 mV/dec when the radius changed from 5 to 10nm respectively,
the SS increased slightly to 50 mV/dec when the radius increased to 25nm. Figure 7 illustrate that the BIDL
behavior look like same as SS, the DIBL improved and dropped highly also from 116 to 60 mV/V with
radius from 5 to 10 nm respectively, and dropped slightly from 60 to 38 mV/V with the range of channel
radius 10 to 25nm.
Furthermore, the impacts of varying channel radius on VT and Gm are illustrated in Figure 8.
The threshold voltage is almost constant regardless channel width except at the R = 10 nm, where VT scores
the highest value of 0.13 V. Finally, the Gm increased as channel radius increased. GGA TFET achieved
higher Gm at D = 25 nm, the Gm characteristics increased with decreasing R and achieved the lower value at
D = 5 nm. According these results the minimal R with good electrical characteristics must be about 10 nm
that has best DIBL, Gm and VT with acceptable ION/IOFF.

3.3. Downscaling channel oxide thickness
Figures 9 to 11 show the channel oxide thickness variation in relation to the electrical characteristics
of GAA TFET. For this simulation step, TOX has been varied (1, 2, 3 and 4 nm), the channel length and
channel radius has been kept constant at 200 nm and 5nm respectively. Figure 9 illustrates the relation

between the ION/IOFF ratio with the channel oxide thickness. The minimum ION/IOFF ratio (3.1*103
) with
VDD = 1 V was obtained at minimum TOX = 1 nm and then increased to 2.5*1013
at TOX = 4 nm. From
the results shown in Figure 10, it is clear that for a lower channel oxide thickness, TOX = 1 nm the TFET has
shown worse SS characteristics with the best SS value of 72.8 mV/dec compared to other TOX values. The SS
improved with increasing TOX and the best value (21.4 mV/V) was at TOX = 3nm. Figure 10 also displays
channel oxide thickness versus DIBL characteristics of TFET. DIBL increased linearly with increasing TOX,
the best value at TOX =1nm. Figure 11 represents the relation of both VT and Gm, Gm has a peak value at 2nm
while VT increased with increasing Tox and its value almost constant after TOX =1nm. According these results
the minimal TOX with good electrical characteristics must be 2 nm that has best DIBL, Gm and VT with
acceptable ION/IOFF.

4. CONCLUSION
The downscaling effect on the electrical characteristics of GAA Si-NW TFET has been investigated,
TCAD simulation tool has been used to create the output characteristics of TFET and the critical parameters
related to the electrical characteristics transistor. Downscaling of length of channel (L), radios of nanowire of
channel (R), and oxide thickness (TOX) and its effect on the ION/IOFF ratio, sub-threshuld swing (SS), drain
indused barrier lowering (DIBL), treshuld voltage (VT), and transconductance (Gm) of channel have been
studied. The results shows that the minimal channel length with good electrical characteristics was at 50nm,
the minimal channel redius with good electrical characteristics was at 10nm, and finally, the minimal channel
oxide thickness with good electrical characteristics was at range 2 to 3nm.
