The installation of distributed generation (DG) in the electrical networks has numerous advantages. However, connecting and disconnecting of DGs (CADD) leads to some problems in coordination of protection devices due to the changes in the short circuit levels in the different points of network. In this paper, an adaptive method is proposed based on available setting groups (SG) of relays. Since the number of available SG is less than possible CADD states, a classifying index (CI) is defined to categorize the several states in restricted setting groups. Genetic algorithm (GA) with a suitable objective function (OF) is used as an optimization method for the classification. After grouping, a modified coordination method is applied to achieve optimal coordination for each group. The efficiency of the proposed technique is demonstrated by simulation results.

To protect against unlawful reproductions and distribution, the current paper proposes a digital watermarking technique for architectural drawings produced using a CAD system. First, the POLYLINEs are extracted from the drawing; then, an adaptive algorithm is used to embed a watermark in the characteristics of each POLYLINE. Next, the CIRCLEs are embedded using an adaptive watermarking algorithm related to the radius of circle from drawing. The proposed watermarking scheme is robust to various attacks, such as the geometrical transformation. Additionally, the proposed method satisfies the requirement of transparency for CAD program. It used AutoCAD 2002, which is commonly used as a CAD program for experiments. Experimental results confirmed the robustness and invisibility of the embedded watermarks in several conversions of an architectural drawing.

Broadcast encryption is an efficient way to distribute confidential information to a set of receivers using broadcast channel. It allows the broadcaster to dynamically choose the receiver set during each encryption. However, most broadcast encryption schemes in the literature haven't taken into consideration the receiver's privacy protection, and the scanty privacy preserving solutions are often less efficient, which are not suitable for practical scenarios. In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic anonymous broadcast encryption scheme that has the shortest ciphertext length. The scheme is constructed over the composite order bilinear groups, and adopts the Lagrange interpolation polynomial to hide the receivers' identities, which yields efficient decryption algorithm. Security proofs show that, the proposed scheme is both secure and anonymous under the threat of adaptive adversaries in standard model.

With the rapid development of the information communication technology, more and more distribution multimedia data and electronic publishing in the web, has created a need for the copyright protection with authentication of digital information. In this paper, we propose a multi-watermarking adding and adaptive spectral watermark algorithm well adaptive frequency domain of each hierarchical using orthogonal forward wavelet transform(FWT. Numerical test results, created watermarking image robustness not only image transform such as low-pass filtering, bluring, sharpen filtering, wavelet compression but also brightness, contrast gamma correction, histogram equalization, cropping.

This paper describes an adaptive distance relay for double-circuit line protection with mutual impedance and fault resistance. Double-circuit lines have two operating condition; both lines of a double-circuit line are in operation and one line is switched-off and both ends of the line are grounded. For optimal distance protection, the trip region is calculated, which have respect to mutual impedance and fault resistance.

To provide high-quality media streaming service over the best-effort Internet, an efficient streaming system with a network-adaptive transport is essential. By adopting FEC-based adaptive transport and by matching it to the priority of media packets, in this paper, an enhanced MPEG-4 streaming system is implemented. The implemented adaptive transport can complement the existing MPEG-4 streaming server with components such as elementary stream provider, sync layer and DMIF layer. Sync layer packets of each MPEG-4 elementary stream are prioritized and then selectively dropped at the sender to match the currently available bandwidth. Also, with the proposed adaptive transport module, the level of FEC protection is dynamically adjusted based on the underlying network condition. With preliminary verification over the emulated network testbed, it is shown that the proposed implementation can mitigate the impact of network fluctuation and thus improve the quality of streaming.

Dynamic analysis of a transmission line which is compensated by a FACTS device such as STATCOM, SSSC and UPFC is carried out in this paper and the impacts on conventional line protection methods such as the DCPM (Differential Current Protection Method) and the DPM (Distance Protection Method) are reviewed. A refined DCRM is proposed to detect faults properly regardless of the FACTS operation. The proposed method is applied to a FACTS-compensated line with a variety of faults and is verified by simulation results. An adaptive DPM on a FACTS-compensated line was proposed previously in the literature. In order to emphasize the necessity of the modified DPM, the conventional DPM is applied to a FACTS-compensated system. Significant factors such as fault types, fault locations, and fault resistances as well as FACTS device types are considered for relaying setting.

The availability of effective vaccines has had the most profound positive effect on improving the quality of public health by preventing infectious diseases. Despite many successful vaccines, there are still old and new emerging pathogens against which there is no vaccine available. A better understanding of how vaccines work for providing protection will help to improve current vaccines as well as to develop effective vaccines against pathogens for which we do not have a proper means to control. Recent studies have focused on innate immunity as the first line of host defense and its role in inducing adaptive immunity; such studies have been an intense area of research, which will reveal the immunological mechanisms how vaccines work for protection. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of receptors for pathogen-associated molecular patterns on cells of the innate immune system, play a critical role in detecting and responding to microbial infections. Importantly, the innate immune system modulates the quantity and quality of long-term T and B cell memory and protective immune responses to pathogens. Limited studies suggest that vaccines which mimic natural infection and/or the structure of pathogens seem to be effective in inducing long-term protective immunity. A better understanding of the similarities and differences of the molecular and cellular events in host responses to vaccination and pathogen infection would enable the rationale for design of novel preventive measures against many challenging pathogens.

The autoreclosing is applied to power system for maintaining system stability and continuity of supply. Developments on distributed generation(DG) grows significantly by environmental issues and economical issues. If the DG is connected to distribution system, the DG influences the technical aspects such as power quality, protection and stability. It causes the challenges to protection, especially to reclosing. In order to achieve reliability and safety of the distribution system, the rules and guidelines suggest that the DG units should be rapidly disconnected from the network before the reclosing. If the DG is disconnected whenever the fault occurs, it cannot be utilized effectively. This paper presents the adaptive reclosing algorithm considering the DG. The algorithm consists of angle oscillation's judgment, EEEAC(Emergency Expanded Equal-Area Criterion), calculation of optimal reclosing time and re-connection algorithm. The simulation is implemented for the DG technology by using EMTP MODELS. The simulation results show that the transient stability is maintained and the DG is protected against disturbance.

This paper presents a new numerical spectral domain algorithm devoted to blocking unsuccessful automatic reclosing onto permanent faults and fault distance calculation. Arc voltage amplitude and fault distance are calculated from the fundamental and third harmonics of the terminal voltages and currents phasors. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can be concluded if the fault is transient arcing fault or permanent arcless fault. If the fault is permanent automatic reclosure should be blocked. The algorithm can be applied for adaptive autoreclosure, distance protection, and fault location. The results of algorithm testing through computer simulation and real field record are given.
