Noninvasive blood glucose (NIBG) measurement technique has been explored for the last three decades to facilitate diabetes management. Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal may be used to measure the variations in blood glucose concentration. However, the literature reveals that physiological perturbations such as temperature, skin moisture, and sweat lead to less accurate NIBG measurements. The task of minimizing the effect of these perturbations for accurate measurements is an important research area. Therefore, in the present work, galvanic skin response (GSR) and temperature measurements along with PPG were used to measure blood glucose noninvasively. The data extracted from the sensors were used to estimate blood glucose concentration with the help of two machine learning (ML) techniques, i.e., multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN). The accuracy of proposed multisensor system was evaluated by pairing and comparing noninvasive measurements with invasively measured readings. The study was performed on 50 nondiabetic subjects with body mass index (BMI) 27.3 ± 3 kg/m2. The results revealed that multisensor NIBG measurement system significantly improves mean absolute prediction error and correlation coefficient in comparison to the techniques reported in the literature.

Vertical axis and horizontal axis wind turbine- A comprehensive review

A simple approach to mathematical modelling of darrius type wind turbines

With the surge in demand for electrical energy and the consequent need to operate the power system close to its limits, the need to compute the voltage stability limit and the system's proximity to this limit has become mandatory. Among the methods to compute these parameters, the Voltage Stability Indices stand out owing to their attributes of simplicity and minimal computational effort and have also served varied applications. This paper presents a review on Node Voltage Stability Indices with respect to approach, values at critical point, deviation from critical point value, accuracy and response at different power factors via graphical means. The results and conclusions presented in this paper have been arrived at by performing the computations on IEEE 30 Bus system on MATLAB 8.0R 2012b environment. © 2017 IEEE.

Addressing loss due to transmission and its cost allocation in deregulated electricity market is an essential issue. Independent System Operator (ISO) provides the real power loss from the generators and the associated cost is allocated to the concerned parties in a fair way. The generators and loads participate in the loss/cost allocation process. The highlight of the paper is that the effect of mutual inductance (MI) that exists on transmission line in transmission loss/cost allocation process for bilateral contracts is illustrated. To demonstrate the effect of mutual inductance, the results of two existing loss allocation methods like penalized quoted cost (PQC) based approach and proportional generation and proportional load (PGPL) based approach are discussed. Effect of mutual inductance is presented using an IEEE 14 bus system. The simulation results are carried out using MATLAB R2014a. The result shows that mutual inductance has a significant impact on transmission loss and hence cannot be ignored. © 2017 IEEE.

Despite many decades of research on the photovoltaic cells, still it is a great struggle to get efficiencies more than 25%. Transmission of low energy photons &amp; thermalization of high energy photons are the two losses which form the backbone of the Shockley - Queisser limit. In this paper, a way to diminish both these losses along with modified Perturb and Observe MPPT method, which will boost the overall efficiency up to 35% is demonstrated. At first Singlet Exciton Fission is utilized as a down converting process for photons with energy greater than silicon bandgap of 1.12 eV in which a single high energy photon fissions into two photons of half the energy. Then, Triplet-Triplet Annihilation (TTA) is utilized as an up converting process for photons with energy less than 1.12 eV &amp; wavelength more than 1100 nm in which two low-energy photons get converted into a single high-energy photon of twice the energy and finally Modified Perturb &amp; Observe MPPT method with ZVS technique is used to reduce the DC to DC converter losses. © 2017 The Authors.
