Title:	POWER QUALITY AND COST IMPROVEMENT BY PASSIVE POWER FILTERS SYNTHESIS USING ANT COLONY ALGORITHM
Author:	RACHID DEHINI, SLIMANE SEFIANE
Source:	Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology Vol 23. No. 2 -- 2011
Abstract	The important problem of using passive filters remains in the determination of their sizes, which meets standard levels of harmonic distortion with the minimum of cost. Many multi-objective optimization methods aiming at reducing cost an Improving electrical power quality have been used. The purpose of this paper is therefore, to show the application of ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION (ACO) to design the passive filters sizing worry in an electric network affected by harmonic disturbances. In this work, the objective function to be minimized is the value of current harmonic distortion and passive filters cost, these passive filters are simultaneously connected in parallel with (FAP) in load side in order to achieve the percentage of (SAPF) apparent power (SF) compared to (Load) apparent power (SL) Limited between 14% and 16% and become very reasonable. The studies have been accomplished using simulation with the MATLAB-Simulink. The results show That (SHAPF) is more effective than (SAPF), and has lower cost.

Title:	APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS,LAND USE/LAND COVER CHANGE IN KATHMANDU METROPOLITAN CITY, NEPAL
Author:	BHAGAWAT RIMA
Source:	Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology Vol 23. No. 2 -- 2011
Abstract	The land-use and land-cover pattern of a region is an outcome of natural and socio-economic factors and their utilization by man in time and space. Land-use and land-cover change has become a central component in current strategies in managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes. Urban expansion has increased the exploitation of natural resources and has changed land use and land cover patterns. Rapid urbanization, therefore, brings opportunities for new urban developments, however, it also has brought serious losses of arable land, forest land and water bodies. Land cover change is a major concern of global environment change. The modelling and projecting of land cover change is essential to the assessment of consequent environmental impacts. In Nepal, speedy urbanization took place in the last two decades due to population growth. This growth has significantly changed the landscape of many cities. In the context of urbanization, a large amount of agricultural land has been converted to built-up or urban land uses. Kathmandu,the capital city of Nepal , has been experiencing a lot of land-use and land-cover changes due to both socioeconomic and natural factors. Remote sensing and Geographical Information system (GIS) provide fundamental tools which can be useful in the investigation at the village district as well as the city levels. Remote sensing becomes useful because it provides synoptic view and multi- temporal Land uses / Land cover data that are often required. All landsat images of Kathmandu city including Kathmandu Metropolitan and Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan city (1976 MSS, 1989 TM, 2001 ETM+ and 2009 ETM+), are rectified and registered in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 45 N and Supervised image classification system has been observed to classify the images in different land use categories. Five land use classes have been identified: Urban (Built-up), Water body, Forest area, Open field and cultivated land. GIS is the technology which has been used to view and analyze data from a geographic perspective. In study, Markov chain model has been applied to predict future changes which are based on the rates of past change using IDRISI GIS. The land-use information for the year 2017 is predicated in Kathmandu City. The past, current and possible future land-use dynamics of the study area has been described and analyzed.

Title:	A CONCEPTUALIZED MODEL FOR ENHANCING NON-REPUDIATION IN UNIVERSITY E-FORM PROCESSING
Author:	GBENGA O. OGUNSANWO, OLUWAFEMI S. OGUNSEYE
Source:	Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology Vol 23. No. 2 -- 2011
Abstract	Most organizations use one form of online registration or another. Since these registration forms are structured to be open and available to users, many of them do not afford or seem to require basic security measures like access control measures or even basic passwords. This however implies that the authenticity of the user, and accountability of the user to the information provided is not established, thereby making repudiation a possibility. This work proposes a strategy to reduce deniability on the part of the users of e-registration systems, and strengthen accountability using a digital signature based field locking process. The work used students’ registration liberally as the focal point and will encourage users to take more seriously the data they fill into online forms just like they do in paper based ones.

Author:	KAREEM ULLAH, SHAHBAZ. A. KHAN
Source:	Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology Vol 23. No. 2 -- 2011
Abstract	A software development methodology was initiated from the concept of sharing the source code. In 1998 it was named as open source software development. It is a complete software development methodology, in which all the participants are connected through internet. It has great promises to produce high quality software projects with low cost, which is difficult to do in preparatory software development. The objective of this review is to highlight the issues of open source software development. To achieve the benefits of OSSD, we have to perform risk assessment first. These issues produce great hurdles in the way of success. We have conducted a review of issue analysis. In this review issues are identifies, by which it is easy to mitigate them. We have analyzed the empirical studies. These studies have provided us lot of evidence for issues. These reported issues are needed to mitigate with a systematic way. By removing the limitations of OSSD, it is easy to develop the software project with low cost and high quality.

Title:	PI, FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLED SHUNT ACTIVE POWER FILTER FOR THREE-PHASE FOUR-WIRE SYSTEMS WITH BALANCED, UNBALANCED AND VARIABLE LOADS
Author:	B.SURESH KUMAR, K.RAMESH REDDY, V.LALITHA
Source:	Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology Vol 23. No. 2 -- 2011
Abstract	This paper presents a fuzzy logic, PI controlled shunt active power filter used to compensate for harmonic distortion in three-phase four-wire systems. The shunt active filter employs a simple method for the calculation of the reference compensation current based on Fast Fourier Transform. The presented Shunt Active Power filter is able to operate in balanced, unbalanced and Variable load conditions. Classic filters may not have satisfactory performance in fast varying conditions. But auto tuned active power filter gives better results for harmonic minimization, reactive power compensation and power factor improvement. The proposed auto tuned shunt active filter maintains the THD well within IEEE-519 standards. The proposed methodology is extensively tested for wide range of different Loads with Improved dynamic behavior of shunt active power filter using fuzzy logic, PI controllers. The results are found to be quite satisfactory to mitigate harmonic Distortions, reactive power compensation and power factor improvement.
