Numerical simulation in inductively coupled thermal plasma was made on the temperature distribution in argon (Ar)+hydrogen (H2) induction thermal plasma torch with silicon (Si) powder injection to obtain the temperature distribution and gas flow fields. The ICTP model was used in this research because it has benefit of good repeatability and no contamination process. Interactions between ICTP and injected powder are very complicated to be understood only by related experiments. Influence of input power in ICTP was numerically investigated on thermal plasma temperature fields and powder evaporation. The temperature distributions of thermal plasma and Si vapor distribution were compared at input powers of 20 kW, 30 kW, and 40 kW. Results indicated that higher input power increases the temperature of the thermal plasma with doughnut shape but it slightly enhances evaporation of the powder at the center axis of the plasma torch.

Influence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Die...A Behzadmehr
Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hundreds of picoseconds. Following of absorption of light energy by metal-dielectric nanocomposite material, metal nanoparticles are heated. Then, the thermal energy is transferred to the host medium through particle-dielectric interface. On the one hand, nonlinear optical properties of such materials depend on their thermal responses to laser pulse, and on the other hand different parameters, such as pulse laser and medium thermodynamic characterizes, govern on the thermal responses of medium to laser pulse. Here, influence of thermal resistance at particle-surrounding medium interface on thermal response of such material under ultrashort pulse laser excitation is investigated. For this, we used three temperature model based on energy exchange between different bodies of medium. The results show that the interface thermal resistance plays a crucial role on nanoparticle cooling dynamics, so that the relaxation characterized time increases by increasing of interface thermal resistance.

A parabolic trough collector is a type of solar thermal collector that is straight in one dimension and curved as a parabola in the other two, lined with a polished metal. The energy of sunlight which enters the mirror parallel to its plane of symmetry is focused along the focal line, where object is positioned that is intended to be heated. It consists of a tube, which runs the length of the trough at its focal line. The mirror is oriented so that sunlight which it reflects is concentrated on the tube, which contains a fluid which is heated to a high temperature by the energy of the sunlight. The hot fluid can be used for many purposes.

Experimental Study of an Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge an...IJERA Editor
A homogeneous dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in argon was produced by applying high voltage A.C. source of potential difference (0-20) kV operating at a frequency of 10-30 kHz across two parallel plate electrodes with glass as dielectric barrier. The discharge was characterized by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and electrical measurement. Four argon emission lines from the discharge were analyzed and the electron temperature was estimated by line intensity ratio method. The electron density in the discharge was estimated by power balance method. An investigation of the effect of inter-electrode distance on the electron density was made. The results showed that the electron temperature is less than 1 eV and the electron density is of the order of 1011cm-3 which varied with the inter electrode distance. Discharge was applied for surface modification of polyethylene terepthalate (PET). Modified surfaces were studied by contact angle measurement and FTIR spectroscopy.

Thermoluminescence is a simple technique for studying
the distribution of artificially created or naturally occurring
point defects. In present work we are reanalyzing the
Thermoluminescence response of Eu2+,Dy3+ doped SrAl2O4

accordance with new method of analysis. Orders of kinetics for
different glow curves are recalculated. Order of kinetics values

order of kinetics depends on extent of retrapping and from
reanalysis we can infer that all the reported TL responses of
material under consideration are retrapping dominant process.

Abstract
The double polarization (beam-recoil) observables Ox and Oz have been measured for the reac- tion γp → K+Λ from threshold production to E ∼ 1500MeV. The data were obtained with the linearly polarized beam of the GRAAL facility. Values for the target asymmetry T could also be extracted despite the use of an unpolarized target. Analyses of our results by two isobar models tend to confirm the necessity to include new or poorly known resonances in the 1900MeV mass region.
Numerical analysis in Ar-H2 coupled-coil inductively coupled thermal plasma ...IJECEIAES
In nanopowder synthesis, the starting powder to be evaporated is infused in a plasma torch through the upper coil and the lower coil in the coupled model of inductively coupled thermal plasma (coupled-coil inductively coupled thermal plasma (ICTP)). Mixing these evaporated materials to form the coupled ICTP significantly influences the thermodynamic and transport properties. It is essential to understand these complex interactions between coupled ICTP and feedstock evaporation. This research investigated the thermal interactions between silicon raw material powder (Si) with ICTP in coupled 99%Ar/1%H2 through the numerical model developed for the synthesis of Si nanopowder. The feed rate of the Si raw material was set at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 g/min. This implies that the increased Si feed is too heavy to vaporize all the injected feed.
In this article, we studied the past and existing research in nanowire (NW) especially based on SiGe NWs. The basic Thermoelectric (TE) principles and theories are introduced and the factors that may influence the TE performance of SiGe NWs are discussed. The superiority of the group IV material-based NWs as TE materials are detailed with feasible structures while their fabrication methods and TE measurements are also reviewed. The existing SiGe NW are discussed for their potential applications and the feasible applications are illustrated. Finally, the variation of parameter TE on Temperature and carrier concentration is discussed and compare theoretically with the available experimental data.
PHYSICAL MODELING AND SIMULATION OF THERMAL HEATING IN VERTICAL INTEGRATED ...ijcses
Interconnect is one of the main performance determinant of modern integrated circuits (ICs). The new
technology of vertical ICs places circuit blocks in the vertical dimension in addition to the conventional
horizontal plane. Compared to the planar ICs, vertical ICs have shorter latencies as well as lower power
consumption due to shorter wires. This also increases speed, improves performances and adds to ICs
density. The benefits of vertical ICs increase as we stack more dies, due to successive reductions in wire
lengths. However, as we stack more dies, the lattice self-heating becomes a challenging and critical issue
due to the difficulty in cooling down the layers away from the heat sink. In this paper, we provide a
quantitative electro-thermal analysis of the temperature rise due to stacking. Mathematical models based
on steady state non-isothermal drift-diffusion transport equations coupled to heat flow equation are used.
These physically based models and the different heat sources in semiconductor devices will be presented
and discussed. Three dimensional numerical results did show that, compared to the planar ICs, the
vertical ICs with 2-die technology increase the maximum temperature by 17 Kelvin in the die away from
the heat sink. These numerical results will also be presented and analyzed for a typical 2-die structure of
complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors.

The converted Solar energy as electrical and thermal energy was named photovoltaic thermal (PVT). The aim of this study is to the analysis of different length and depth channel effect of photovoltaic thermal with ∇-groove collector by a mathematical model. The matrix inversion was used to analyze the energy balance equation. Simulation results were conducted below the solar intensity of 800 W/m 2 and mass flow rate between 0.0069 kg/s and 0.0491 kg/s. Electrical and thermal efficiency was done to assess the effect of different length and channel depth of PVT system with ∇-groove collector. The effect of different length and depth of ∇-groove collector for electrical and thermal performance is caused by changed mass flow rate. The effect Increasing of the mass flow rate of collector increased the thermal and electrical performance of the ∇-groove collector.

In this work, a set of experiments has been conducted using arc discharge Methane
decomposition attempting to obtain carbonaceous materials (C-strands) formed between graphite
electrodes. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the fabricated C-strands have been investigated in
the presence and absence of two different gases, NO2 and CO2. The results reveal that the current
passing through the carbon films increases when the concentrations of gases are increased from 200 to
800 ppm. This phenomenon is a result of conductance changes and can be employed in sensing
applications such as gas sensors.
Amazon products reviews classification based on machine learning, deep learni...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In recent times, the trend of online shopping through e-commerce stores and websites has grown to a huge extent. Whenever a product is purchased on an e-commerce platform, people leave their reviews about the product. These reviews are very helpful for the store owners and the product’s manufacturers for the betterment of their work process as well as product quality. An automated system is proposed in this work that operates on two datasets D1 and D2 obtained from Amazon. After certain preprocessing steps, N-gram and word embedding-based features are extracted using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), bag of words (BoW) and global vectors (GloVe), and Word2vec, respectively. Four machine learning (ML) models support vector machines (SVM), logistic regression (RF), logistic regression (LR), multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB), two deep learning (DL) models convolutional neural network (CNN), long-short term memory (LSTM), and standalone bidirectional encoder representations (BERT) are used to classify reviews as either positive or negative. The results obtained by the standard ML, DL models and BERT are evaluated using certain performance evaluation measures. BERT turns out to be the best-performing model in the case of D1 with an accuracy of 90% on features derived by word embedding models while the CNN provides the best accuracy of 97% upon word embedding features in the case of D2. The proposed model shows better overall performance on D2 as compared to D1.

In this study, a microstrip patch antenna that works at 3.6 GHz was built and tested to see how well it works. In this work, Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 has been used as the substrate material, with a dielectric permittivity of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.3451 mm; it serves as the base for the examined antenna. The computer simulation technology (CST) studio suite is utilized to show the recommended antenna design. The goal of this study was to get a more extensive transmission capacity, a lower voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and a lower return loss, but the main goal was to get a higher gain, directivity, and efficiency. After simulation, the return loss, gain, directivity, bandwidth, and efficiency of the supplied antenna are found to be -17.626 dB, 9.671 dBi, 9.924 dBi, 0.2 GHz, and 97.45%, respectively. Besides, the recreation uncovered that the transfer speed side-lobe level at phi was much better than those of the earlier works, at -28.8 dB, respectively. Thus, it makes a solid contender for remote innovation and more robust communication.

In this paper, snake optimization algorithm (SOA) is used to find the optimal gains of an enhanced controller for controlling congestion problem in computer networks. M-file and Simulink platform is adopted to evaluate the response of the active queue management (AQM) system, a comparison with two classical controllers is done, all tuned gains of controllers are obtained using SOA method and the fitness function chose to monitor the system performance is the integral time absolute error (ITAE). Transient analysis and robust analysis is used to show the proposed controller performance, two robustness tests are applied to the AQM system, one is done by varying the size of queue value in different period and the other test is done by changing the number of transmission control protocol (TCP) sessions with a value of ± 20% from its original value. The simulation results reflect a stable and robust behavior and best performance is appeared clearly to achieve the desired queue size without any noise or any transmission problems.
Improving the detection of intrusion in vehicular ad-hoc networks with modifi...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are wireless-equipped vehicles that form networks along the road. The security of this network has been a major challenge. The identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) previously used to secure the networks suffers from membership authentication security features. This paper focuses on improving the detection of intruders in VANETs with a modified identity-based cryptosystem (MIBC). The MIBC is developed using a non-singular elliptic curve with Lagrange interpolation. The public key of vehicles and roadside units on the network are derived from number plates and location identification numbers, respectively. Pseudo-identities are used to mask the real identity of users to preserve their privacy. The membership authentication mechanism ensures that only valid and authenticated members of the network are allowed to join the network. The performance of the MIBC is evaluated using intrusion detection ratio (IDR) and computation time (CT) and then validated with the existing IBC. The result obtained shows that the MIBC recorded an IDR of 99.3% against 94.3% obtained for the existing identity-based cryptosystem (EIBC) for 140 unregistered vehicles attempting to intrude on the network. The MIBC shows lower CT values of 1.17 ms against 1.70 ms for EIBC. The MIBC can be used to improve the security of VANETs.
Conceptual model of internet banking adoption with perceived risk and trust f...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Understanding the primary factors of internet banking (IB) acceptance is critical for both banks and users; nevertheless, our knowledge of the role of users’ perceived risk and trust in IB adoption is limited. As a result, we develop a conceptual model by incorporating perceived risk and trust into the technology acceptance model (TAM) theory toward the IB. The proper research emphasized that the most essential component in explaining IB adoption behavior is behavioral intention to use IB adoption. TAM is helpful for figuring out how elements that affect IB adoption are connected to one another. According to previous literature on IB and the use of such technology in Iraq, one has to choose a theoretical foundation that may justify the acceptance of IB from the customer’s perspective. The conceptual model was therefore constructed using the TAM as a foundation. Furthermore, perceived risk and trust were added to the TAM dimensions as external factors. The key objective of this work was to extend the TAM to construct a conceptual model for IB adoption and to get sufficient theoretical support from the existing literature for the essential elements and their relationships in order to unearth new insights about factors responsible for IB adoption.
Efficient combined fuzzy logic and LMS algorithm for smart antennaTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The smart antennas are broadly used in wireless communication. The least mean square (LMS) algorithm is a procedure that is concerned in controlling the smart antenna pattern to accommodate specified requirements such as steering the beam toward the desired signal, in addition to placing the deep nulls in the direction of unwanted signals. The conventional LMS (C-LMS) has some drawbacks like slow convergence speed besides high steady state fluctuation error. To overcome these shortcomings, the present paper adopts an adaptive fuzzy control step size least mean square (FC-LMS) algorithm to adjust its step size. Computer simulation outcomes illustrate that the given model has fast convergence rate as well as low mean square error steady state.
Design and implementation of a LoRa-based system for warning of forest fireTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents the design and implementation of a forest fire monitoring and warning system based on long range (LoRa) technology, a novel ultra-low power consumption and long-range wireless communication technology for remote sensing applications. The proposed system includes a wireless sensor network that records environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the air, as well as taking infrared photos.The data collected at each sensor node will be transmitted to the gateway via LoRa wireless transmission. Data will be collected, processed, and uploaded to a cloud database at the gateway. An Android smartphone application that allows anyone to easily view the recorded data has been developed. When a fire is detected, the system will sound a siren and send a warning message to the responsible personnel, instructing them to take appropriate action. Experiments in Tram Chim Park, Vietnam, have been conducted to verify and evaluate the operation of the system.
Wavelet-based sensing technique in cognitive radio networkTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Cognitive radio is a smart radio that can change its transmitter parameter based on interaction with the environment in which it operates. The demand for frequency spectrum is growing due to a big data issue as many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are in the network. Based on previous research, most frequency spectrum was used, but some spectrums were not used, called spectrum hole. Energy detection is one of the spectrum sensing methods that has been frequently used since it is easy to use and does not require license users to have any prior signal understanding. But this technique is incapable of detecting at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Therefore, the wavelet-based sensing is proposed to overcome this issue and detect spectrum holes. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of wavelet-based sensing and compare it with the energy detection technique. The findings show that the percentage of detection in wavelet-based sensing is 83% higher than energy detection performance. This result indicates that the wavelet-based sensing has higher precision in detection and the interference towards primary user can be decreased.
A novel compact dual-band bandstop filter with enhanced rejection bandsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In this paper, we present the design of a new wide dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) using nonuniform transmission lines. The method used to design this filter is to replace conventional uniform transmission lines with nonuniform lines governed by a truncated Fourier series. Based on how impedances are profiled in the proposed DBBSF structure, the fractional bandwidths of the two 10 dB-down rejection bands are widened to 39.72% and 52.63%, respectively, and the physical size has been reduced compared to that of the filter with the uniform transmission lines. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) simulation support the obtained analytical response and show an improved frequency behavior.
Deep learning approach to DDoS attack with imbalanced data at the application...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is where one or more computers attack or target a server computer, by flooding internet traffic to the server. As a result, the server cannot be accessed by legitimate users. A result of this attack causes enormous losses for a company because it can reduce the level of user trust, and reduce the company’s reputation to lose customers due to downtime. One of the services at the application layer that can be accessed by users is a web-based lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) service that can provide safe and easy services to access directory applications. We used a deep learning approach to detect DDoS attacks on the CICDDoS 2019 dataset on a complex computer network at the application layer to get fast and accurate results for dealing with unbalanced data. Based on the results obtained, it is observed that DDoS attack detection using a deep learning approach on imbalanced data performs better when implemented using synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) method for binary classes. On the other hand, the proposed deep learning approach performs better for detecting DDoS attacks in multiclass when implemented using the adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) method.
The appearance of uncertainties and disturbances often effects the characteristics of either linear or nonlinear systems. Plus, the stabilization process may be deteriorated thus incurring a catastrophic effect to the system performance. As such, this manuscript addresses the concept of matching condition for the systems that are suffering from miss-match uncertainties and exogeneous disturbances. The perturbation towards the system at hand is assumed to be known and unbounded. To reach this outcome, uncertainties and their classifications are reviewed thoroughly. The structural matching condition is proposed and tabulated in the proposition 1. Two types of mathematical expressions are presented to distinguish the system with matched uncertainty and the system with miss-matched uncertainty. Lastly, two-dimensional numerical expressions are provided to practice the proposed proposition. The outcome shows that matching condition has the ability to change the system to a design-friendly model for asymptotic stabilization.

Many systems, including digital signal processors, finite impulse response (FIR) filters, application-specific integrated circuits, and microprocessors, use multipliers. The demand for low power multipliers is gradually rising day by day in the current technological trend. In this study, we describe a 4×4 Wallace multiplier based on a carry select adder (CSA) that uses less power and has a better power delay product than existing multipliers. HSPICE tool at 16 nm technology is used to simulate the results. In comparison to the traditional CSA-based multiplier, which has a power consumption of 1.7 µW and power delay product (PDP) of 57.3 fJ, the results demonstrate that the Wallace multiplier design employing CSA with first zero finding logic (FZF) logic has the lowest power consumption of 1.4 µW and PDP of 27.5 fJ.
Evaluation of the weighted-overlap add model with massive MIMO in a 5G systemTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The flaw in 5G orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) becomes apparent in high-speed situations. Because the doppler effect causes frequency shifts, the orthogonality of OFDM subcarriers is broken, lowering both their bit error rate (BER) and throughput output. As part of this research, we use a novel design that combines massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and weighted overlap and add (WOLA) to improve the performance of 5G systems. To determine which design is superior, throughput and BER are calculated for both the proposed design and OFDM. The results of the improved system show a massive improvement in performance ver the conventional system and significant improvements with massive MIMO, including the best throughput and BER. When compared to conventional systems, the improved system has a throughput that is around 22% higher and the best performance in terms of BER, but it still has around 25% less error than OFDM.

In this study, it is aimed to obtain two different asymmetric radiation patterns obtained from antennas in the shape of the cross-section of a parabolic reflector (fan blade type antennas) and antennas with cosecant-square radiation characteristics at two different frequencies from a single antenna. For this purpose, firstly, a fan blade type antenna design will be made, and then the reflective surface of this antenna will be completed to the shape of the reflective surface of the antenna with the cosecant-square radiation characteristic with the frequency selective surface designed to provide the characteristics suitable for the purpose. The frequency selective surface designed and it provides the perfect transmission as possible at 4 GHz operating frequency, while it will act as a band-quenching filter for electromagnetic waves at 5 GHz operating frequency and will be a reflective surface. Thanks to this frequency selective surface to be used as a reflective surface in the antenna, a fan blade type radiation characteristic at 4 GHz operating frequency will be obtained, while a cosecant-square radiation characteristic at 5 GHz operating frequency will be obtained.
Reagentless iron detection in water based on unclad fiber optical sensorTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A simple and low-cost fiber based optical sensor for iron detection is demonstrated in this paper. The sensor head consist of an unclad optical fiber with the unclad length of 1 cm and it has a straight structure. Results obtained shows a linear relationship between the output light intensity and iron concentration, illustrating the functionality of this iron optical sensor. Based on the experimental results, the sensitivity and linearity are achieved at 0.0328/ppm and 0.9824 respectively at the wavelength of 690 nm. With the same wavelength, other performance parameters are also studied. Resolution and limit of detection (LOD) are found to be 0.3049 ppm and 0.0755 ppm correspondingly. This iron sensor is advantageous in that it does not require any reagent for detection, enabling it to be simpler and cost-effective in the implementation of the iron sensing.

In place of the commercial Pt electrode used in quantum sensitized solar cells, the low-cost CuS cathode is created using electrophoresis. High resolution scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the structure and morphology of structural cubic samples with diameters ranging from 40 nm to 200 nm. The conversion efficiency of solar cells is significantly impacted by the calcination temperatures of cathodes at 100 °C, 120 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C under vacuum. The fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)/CuS cathode electrode reached a maximum efficiency of 3.89% when it was calcined at 120 °C. Compared to other temperature combinations, CuS nanoparticles crystallize at 120 °C, which lowers resistance while increasing electron lifetime.

A progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme lea...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This article discusses the progressive learning for structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (PSTOS-ELM). PSTOS-ELM can save robust accuracy while updating the new data and the new class data on the online training situation. The robustness accuracy arises from using the householder block exact QR decomposition recursive least squares (HBQRD-RLS) of the PSTOS-ELM. This method is suitable for applications that have data streaming and often have new class data. Our experiment compares the PSTOS-ELM accuracy and accuracy robustness while data is updating with the batch-extreme learning machine (ELM) and structural tolerance online sequential extreme learning machine (STOS-ELM) that both must retrain the data in a new class data case. The experimental results show that PSTOS-ELM has accuracy and robustness comparable to ELM and STOS-ELM while also can update new class data immediately.
Electroencephalography-based brain-computer interface using neural networksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This study aimed to develop a brain-computer interface that can control an electric wheelchair using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. First, we used the Mind Wave Mobile 2 device to capture raw EEG signals from the surface of the scalp. The signals were transformed into the frequency domain using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and filtered to monitor changes in attention and relaxation. Next, we performed time and frequency domain analyses to identify features for five eye gestures: opened, closed, blink per second, double blink, and lookup. The base state was the opened-eyes gesture, and we compared the features of the remaining four action gestures to the base state to identify potential gestures. We then built a multilayer neural network to classify these features into five signals that control the wheelchair’s movement. Finally, we designed an experimental wheelchair system to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate that the EEG classification was highly accurate and computationally efficient. Moreover, the average performance of the brain-controlled wheelchair system was over 75% across different individuals, which suggests the feasibility of this approach.
Adaptive segmentation algorithm based on level set model in medical imagingTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
For image segmentation, level set models are frequently employed. It offer best solution to overcome the main limitations of deformable parametric models. However, the challenge when applying those models in medical images stills deal with removing blurs in image edges which directly affects the edge indicator function, leads to not adaptively segmenting images and causes a wrong analysis of pathologies wich prevents to conclude a correct diagnosis. To overcome such issues, an effective process is suggested by simultaneously modelling and solving systems’ two-dimensional partial differential equations (PDE). The first PDE equation allows restoration using Euler’s equation similar to an anisotropic smoothing based on a regularized Perona and Malik filter that eliminates noise while preserving edge information in accordance with detected contours in the second equation that segments the image based on the first equation solutions. This approach allows developing a new algorithm which overcome the studied model drawbacks. Results of the proposed method give clear segments that can be applied to any application. Experiments on many medical images in particular blurry images with high information losses, demonstrate that the developed approach produces superior segmentation results in terms of quantity and quality compared to other models already presented in previeous works.
Automatic channel selection using shuffled frog leaping algorithm for EEG bas...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disorder that necessitates comprehensive treatment of both the body and mind. It is categorized as a brain disorder due to its impact on the brain. Various methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) can capture brain activities and structures. EEG signals provide valuable insights into neurological disorders, including drug addiction. Accurate classification of drug addiction from EEG signals relies on appropriate features and channel selection. Choosing the right EEG channels is essential to reduce computational costs and mitigate the risk of overfitting associated with using all available channels. To address the challenge of optimal channel selection in addiction detection from EEG signals, this work employs the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). SFLA facilitates the selection of appropriate channels, leading to improved accuracy. Wavelet features extracted from the selected input channel signals are then analyzed using various machine learning classifiers to detect addiction. Experimental results indicate that after selecting features from the appropriate channels, classification accuracy significantly increased across all classifiers. Particularly, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier combined with SFLA demonstrated a remarkable accuracy improvement of 15.78% while reducing time complexity.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
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.

turn-coil is located around the quartz tube to generate the electromagnetic field. The radius of
this coil is 58 mm. The generated electromagnetic field forms a thermal plasma inside the torch
by inductively coupling. The torch wall of the plasma torch is cooled at room temperature with
cooling water. Silicon powder is injected through a water cooled pipe into the ICTP as indicated
in Figure 1. The carrier gas is also injected together with the silicon powder through this pipe.
For numerical simulation of the ICTP with silicon powder injections, a two-dimensional

3. Modeling of the Inductively Coupled Thermal Plasma with Powder Injection
3.1. Modelling Assumptions
We have assumed the following conditions for modeling thermal plasma [10-14]; (i)
Local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) is established in the inductively coupled thermal
plasma. Thus, all the temperatures such as the heavy particle temperature, excitation
temperature, and electron temperature are identical. In addition, we have equilibrium conditions
for all reactions. (ii) The optically thin condition is assumed in the plasma at wavelengths above
200 nm. Whereas at wavelengths below 200 nm, 20% of the total emission coefficient is
accounted for as radiation loss to take into consideration the effective light absorption. (iii)
Steady, laminar, and axis-symmetric flow is assumed without viscous dissipation. (iv) The
particle-particle interactions are neglected for injected particles. (v) The mean free path of
plasma components is assumed to be much smaller than the particle radius. (vi) Particle always
has spherical shape even at evaporation. (vii) The particles are uniformly heated from the
surrounding plasmas. Therefore, evaporation uniformly occurs around the particle surface. (viii)
Effects of electronic charging on the particle are not considered. (ix) The rocket effect from
ejected evaporation vapor is not taken into account. (x) Silicon feedstock powder particle is
evaporated only by heat from the plasma.
3.2. Governing Equation
For an individual feedstock particles supplied through the water-cooled tube, we solve
the equation of motion were solved with Lagrangian form considering drag force from the
plasma fluid and gravity. In addition, we solve the energy conservation equation of the
inidividual particle taking into account heat conduction inside the particle, the heat flux from the
plasma and radiation loss from the particle surface. In addition, we considered melting and
evaporation process at the surface of the particles. The detail of the calculation can be obtained
in reference [12]. Based of the assumptions described above, the thermal plasma is governed
by the following equation.

for as many times as needed convergence of the plasma and the solution that accounts for the
mutual interaction of the particle and plasma is finally obtained.
3.3. Calculation Condition
In this calculation, the frequency of the coil current for the ICTP was fixed at 450 kHz.
The input power was set to three values of 20 kW, 30 kW, and 40 kW. The pressure was set at
300 Torr (=40 kPa) inside the torch. Total flow rate of Ar and H2 gas mixture as sheath gas was
set to 100 L/min. The fraction of Ar/H2 was set to 99% Ar-1%H2. To this ICTP, silicon feedstock

the plasma torch head. The injected silicon feedstock powder has a mean diameter of 2 and
a deviation of 1 . The silicon feedstock feed rate was set to 0.5 g/min. The thermodynamic

4.1. The Temperature Distribution of Thermal Plasma
The calculaltion from governing equation in (1) to (9) was made for Si powder injection
to 90% Ar-1%H2 ICTP at input powers of 20 kW, 30 kW, and 40 kW to obtain temperature
distirbutions and gas flow pattern of ICTPs, and evaporated mass fraction and also particle size
history in Figure 2 to 7. Figure 2(a) shows the temperature distribution of the ICTP with an input
power 40 kW, while Figure 2(b) shows the temperature distribution with an input power 30 kW,
and Figure 2(c) presents the result at an input power 20 kW. In case of Figure 2(a) with an input
power 40 kW, the ICTP has high temperature area about 13000 K in wide region around radial
positions of 10 mm<r<26 mm and axial positions 150<z<250 mm. At this high temperature area,
the current flows inside the thermal plasma to be heated. On the other hand, as indicated in
Figure 2(b), with an input power 30 kW, the high temperature area at temperatures above
13000 K becomes smaller around radial positions of 12 mm<r<24 mm and axial positions of
170 mm <z<240 mm. Furthermore, lower input power 20 kW case as shown in Figure 2(c)
presents a further smaller high temperature area at temperatures above 13000 K around radial
positions of 16 mm<r<23 mm and axial positions of 205 mm<z<230 mm. This means that
increasing input power makes increased temperature in the ICTP. However, as seen along the
center axis, the similar temperature around 6000-6500 K can be obtained for 20 kW, 30 kW,
and 40 kW. This implies that increasing power just slightly increases the temperature at the
center axis of the plasma torch.
To compare the temperature distribution clearly with input powers of 20 kW, 30 kW, and
40 kW in 99% Ar-1%H2 ICTPs, the radial temperature distributions at axial positions of z=250
mm are plotted in Figure 3. As seen, an increase in input power hardly improves the axial
temperature of the ICTP, although the temperatures outside from a radial position of 10 mm
rises by increased input power. This implies that evaporatoin of Si feedstock is hardly improved
just by increasing input power. On the other hand, Figure 4 shows the axial temperature
distribution at radial position of 5 mm, that is at off-axis region, at different three input powers of
20 kW, 30 kW, and 40 kW. At the off-axis region, the temperature recovers faster at higher
input power.

4.2. Mass Fraction Distribution of Silicon Vapor
We also consider Si evaporation occurrence in the plasma torch. Figure 5 shows
variation in diameters of the 35 particles with 7 different initial diameters injected from 5 different
initial positions [23] into the 40 kW-ICTP as a function of axial position. From axial position from
0 to 200 nm, the diameters do not change because all the particles are present inside the
water-cooled pipe. From axial position of 200 mm, the particles start flying into the ICTP, and
then they are heated. After some fly to be heated, the Si particles have the diameter decreased.
This is because of evaproation of the Si particles from the ICTP. In this case, the particles are
strongly heated from the ICTP, and then the particle diamater decreases to . This
evaporation generates Si vapor to the ICTP.
Influence of input power on silicon vapor creation in the ICTP can be seen in Figure 6.
As shown in this figure, the mass fraction of Si vapor is distributed far from the tip of the
water-cooled pipe where Si feedstock powder is supplied in 99% Ar+1%H2 ICTPs with 20 kW,
30 kW, and 40 kW. At just below the tip of the pipe, the temperature of the ICTP becomes low
because of heat transfer to Si feedstock particle as indicated in Figure 2, and thus the Si
feedstock is hardly evaporated. On the other hand, around axial position from 220 mm, Si vapor
are generated by evaporation as shown in Figure 5.

The evaporation of Si feedstock power causes the contamination of Si vapor inside the
ICTP. The contaminated Si vapor is transported by gas flow convection of Ar carrier gas and by
diffusion [24, 25]. Thus, silicon vapor is present downstream of the feeding pipe. However, as
seen in Figure 6, Si vapor concentration just slightly increase with increasing input power. This
implies that just increase in the input power just slightly enhances evaporation rate of Si
feedstock powder as long as the feedstock is supplied along the center axis of the torch. This
slight increase in evapoartion is because the input power density is essentially low at the center
axis in the ICTP.
The injected particle are transported by drag force from the plasma flow and then the
plasma flow also transfers evaporated Si material in the torch. Figure 7 presents the streamline
inside the ICTP at different input powers of 20 kW,30 kW, and 40 kW. The gas flow field is

almost independent of the input power. Therefore, the injected particle supplied along the
plasma torch move around the center axis at which input power density is essentially low.

5. Conclusion
This research investigated the influence of input power on the temperature distribution
in argon (Ar) and hydrogen (H2) induction thermal plasma with silicon (Si) powder injection. The
calculated temperature distributions of 99%Ar-1%H2 thermal plasma and Si powder injection
were compared with different input powers of 20 kW, 30 kW, and 40 kW. Results indicated that
higher input power increases the temperature of the thermal plasma but it slightly enhances
evaporation of the powder at the center axis of the plasma torch.
This numerical calculation research was made to obtain temperature field and gas flow
field and evaporated mass fraction from very complicated interactions between thermal plasma
and particle injection, which cannot be understood only by experiments. The calculated
temperature distributions of 99% Ar-1%H2 thermal plasma and Si powder injection were
compared with different input powers of 20 kW, 30 kW, and 40 kW. Results indicated that higher
input power increases the temperature of the thermal plasma with doughnut shape but it slightly
enhances evaporation of the powder at the center axis of the plasma torch.
