The multi-carrier transmission signal in Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) has a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which results in nonlinear distortion and deteriorative system performance. An n-tuple selective mapping method is proposed to reduce the PAPR, in this paper. This method generates $2^n$ sequences of an original data sequence by adding n-tuple of n PAPR control bits to it followed by an interleaver and error-control code (ECC) to reduce its PAPR. The convolutional, Golay, and Hamming codes are used as ECCs in the proposed scheme. The proposed method uses different numbers of the n PAPR control bits to accomplish a noteworthy PAPR reduction and also avoids the need for a side-information transmission. The simulation results authenticate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

On PR-IV magnetic recording systems, the maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) method is optimum. But it has the problem of the complexity of the structure. The three level detection (TLD) method can be used, which has simpler structure than MLSD, but requires almost twice of power to achieve the same probbility of error as MLSD does. Therefore a new detection method (error controlled detection: ECD) is proposed which has much simpler structure than MLSD and gives much better performance than TLD. The simulation resutls show that the performance of ECD is better than that of TLD by approximaterly 0.5~1.3dB both in linear and nonlinear channels.

This study examines a P+multi resonant-based voltage control for voltage harmonics compensation under the islanded mode of a microgrid. In islanded mode, the inverter is defined as a voltage source to supply the full local load demand without the connection to the grid. On the other hand, the output voltage waveform is distorted by the negative and zero sequence components and current harmonics due to the unbalanced and nonlinear loads. In this paper, the P+multi resonant controller is used to compensate for the voltage harmonics. The gain tuning method is assessed by the tendency analysis of the controller as the variation of gain. In addition, this study analyzes the slight voltage magnitude drop due to the practical form of the P+multi resonant and proposes a counter method to solve this problem by adding the PI-based voltage restoration method. The proposed P+multi resonant controller to compensate for the voltage harmonics is verified through the PSIM simulation and experimental results.

Three-phase four-wire electrical distribution systems are widely employed in manufacturing plants, commercial and residential buildings. Due to the nonlinear loads connected to the distribution system, the neutral conductor carries excessive harmonic currents even under balanced loading since the triplen harmonics in phase currents do not cancel each other. This may result in wiring failure of the neutral conductor and overloading of the distribution transformer. In response to these concerns, a cost-effective neutral current harmonic suppressor system has been proposed [6]. This paper proposes an improved control method for the harmonic suppressor system under unbalanced load conditions. The proposed control method compensates for only the harmonic components in the neutral conductor, and the zero-sequence fundamental component due to unbalanced loading is prevented from flowing through the harmonic suppressor system. This remedies overloading and power loss of the system. The experimental results on a prototype validate the proposed control approach.

In this paper, we prove some existence and uniqueness results on coincidence points for g-monotone mappings satisfying linear as well as generalized nonlinear contractivity conditions in ordered metric spaces. Our results generalize and extend two classical and well known results due to Ran and Reurings (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004), no. 5, 1435-1443) and Nieto and $Rodr{\acute{i}}guez$-$L{\acute{o}}pez$ (Acta Math. Sin. 23 (2007), no. 12, 2205-2212) besides similar other ones. Finally, as an application of one of our newly proved results, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solution of a first order periodic boundary value problem.

In Shahzad and Zegeye [Nonlinear Anal. 71 (2009), no. 3-4, 838-844], the authors introduced several Ishikawa iterative schemes for xed points of multi-valued mappings in Banach spaces, and proved some strong convergence theorems by using their iterations. In their proofs of the main results, it seems reasonable and simpler to prove for the iteration {$x_n$} to be a Cauchy sequence. In this paper, we modify and improve the proofs of the main results given by Shahzad and Zegeye. Two concrete examples also are given.

Motivated by needs such as those in the aerospace industry, this paper demonstrates ability to significantly increase buckling loads of perforated composite laminated plates by synergizing FEM and a genetic optimization algorithm (GA). Plate geometry is discretized into specially-developed 3D degenerated eight-node shell isoparametric layered composite elements. General shell theory, involving incremental nonlinear finite element equilibrium equation, is employed. Fiber orientation within individual plies of each element is controlled independently by the genetic algorithm. Eigen buckling analysis is performed using the subspace iteration method. Available results demonstrate the approach is superior to more conventional methodologies such as modifying ply thickness or the stacking sequence of individual rectilinear plies having common fiber orientation through the plate.

This study presents an efficient method for optimum design of plate and shell structures, when the design variables are continuous or discrete. Both sizing and shape design variables are considered. First the structural responses such as element forces are approximated in terms of some intermediate variables. By substituting these approximate relations into the original design problem, an explicit nonlinear approximate design task with high quality approximation is achieved. This problem with continuous variables, can be solved by means of numerical optimization techniques very efficiently, the results of which are then used for discrete variable optimization. Now, the approximate problem is converted into a sequence of second level approximation problems of separable form and each of which is solved by a dual strategy with discrete design variables. The approach is efficient in terms of the number of required structural analyses, as well as the overall computational cost of optimization. Examples are offered and compared with other methods to demonstrate the features of the proposed method.

The control method of Thyristor-controlled Reactor(TCR) is described in this paper for compensating the poor power factor, unbalanced and/or nonlinear load. Also, auxiliary controller such as DC current and power-factor controller is described. The reference current of TCR is calculated from the active and reactive current components for each of the positive and negative sequence components in the load currents. This reactive power control technique was verified by Matlab Simulink and 33Kvar TCR simulator, and will be used in 4.3Mvar TCR system, which will be installed next year at R-Tech Co., located in Po-Hang.
