Evolutionary game dynamics is a combination of game theory and dynamical systems. Using dynamical theory, we investigate chaotic behavior in asymmetric Rock-Paper-Scissors games under imitative dynamics with two different populations. Our theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that the dynamical system can give rise to chaotic behavior in zero-sum and positive-sum asymmetric games. However, chaos cannot occur in a negative-sum asymmetric game. In particular, the numerical simulations show that there is a limit cycle in a negative-sum asymmetric game.

With the rapid growth of scientific publications, research paper recommendation which suggests relevant research papers to users can bring great benefits to researchers. In this paper, we focus on the problem of recommending conference papers to the conference attendees. While most of the related existing methods depend on the content-based filtering, we propose a unified conference paper recommendation method named $CPRec$ , which exploits both the contents and the authorship information of the papers. In particular, besides the contents, we exploit the relationships between a user and the authors of a paper for recommendation. In our method, we extract several features for a user-paper pair from the citation network, the coauthor network, and the contents, respectively. In addition, we derive a user’s pairwise preference towards the conference papers from the user’s bookmarked papers in each conference. Furthermore, we employ a pairwise learning to rank model which exploits the pairwise user preference to learn a function that predicts a user’s preference towards a paper based on the extracted features. We conduct a recommendation performance evaluation using real-world data and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Oil-paper insulation will inevitably endure impulse voltage with a superimposed dc voltage (superimposed voltage) because of introduced lightning or switching, which can induce charge accumulation and trigger flashover during the operation of a converter transformer. Temperature rise is also a nonnegligible factor that can significantly influence the performances of oil-paper insulation. This paper aims to reveal the effects of ambient temperature and superimposed voltage on surface charge and flashover behaviors in an oil-paper insulation system. Surface potential decay (SPD) experiments were performed under superimposed voltage with various polarity and amplitude combinations and at the temperature ranging from 20 °C to 80 °C. The results show that the initial surface potential and decay rate increase as the amplitude of the impulse voltage increases at 20 °C. The initial surface potential declines, and the process of SPD is accelerated at higher temperatures because of the increased concentration of shallow traps. Subsequently, flashover tests were conducted under superimposed voltage. It is found that flashover occurs after applying superimposed voltages even with a rather low dc voltage. In addition, the dc voltage component is primarily responsible for flashover. Weibull results also indicate that it is prone to trigger flashover at higher temperatures, because thermal excitation helps more carriers to escape from deep traps and participate in the process of flashover. Accordingly, the insulation characteristics of oil-paper system can be significantly influenced by superimposed voltage and temperature, which should draw great concern among the power grid.

With the rapid growth of scientific publications, it is hard for researchers to acquire appropriate papers that meet their expectations. Recommendation system for scientific articles is an essential technology to overcome this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel low-rank and sparse matrix factorization-based paper recommendation (LSMFPRec) method for authors. The proposed method seamlessly combines low-rank and sparse matrix factorization method with fine-grained paper and author affinity matrixes that are extracted from heterogeneous scientific network. Thus, it can effectively alleviate the sparsity and cold start problems that exist in traditional matrix factorization based collaborative filtering methods. Moreover, LSMFPRec can significantly reduce the error propagated from intermediate outputs. In addition, the proposed method essentially captures the low-rank and sparse characteristics that exist in scientific rating activities; therefore, it can generate more reasonable predicted ratings for influential and uninfluential papers. The effectiveness of the proposed LSMFPRec is demonstrated by the recommendation evaluation conducted on the AAN and CiteULike data sets.

Methanol is regarded as an available indicator to analyze the aging condition of cellulose insulation. However, the diffusion mechanism of methanol molecules in the paper-oil insulation system is still unclear, since it cannot be explored by using only experiments. Given this issue, the molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the diffusion mechanism of methanol molecules. In the current work, the mean square displacement of methanol during the diffusion process was calculated and analyzed, as well as its trajectory tracking. Then, the research on interaction energies and hydrogen bonds in paper/oil system were conducted. Finally, the effect of temperature on the diffusion of methanol molecules was also studied. Findings revealed that the diffusion of methanol in cellulose insulation is faster than that in insulating oil, besides, the presence of hydrogen bonds affects the diffusion rate of methanol molecules in cellulose insulation and insulating oil. Thus, the present findings could support the investigation of the diffusion mechanisms of methanol molecules, by which the aging condition evaluation of cellulose insulation could be also promoted.

The interest in developing and testing dielectric nanofluids for electrotechnical purposes has increased significantly in the last ten years. A number of works have been published reporting dielectric and thermal properties for these liquids that enhance those of conventional insulating fluids. Some authors propose that the application of dielectric nanofluids to transformer insulation could improve the reliability of transformers and open new possibilities for transformer design. However, this will not be feasible until thorough studies on the interaction of these materials with other elements of the transformer, specially the solid insulation, are carried out. In this work, the effect of the presence of nanoparticles on the dielectric response of oil and oil-paper insulation is analysed in laboratory conditions. Specimens have been prepared to emulate the insulation system of transformers and the dielectric response in the frequency domain of these specimens has been characterized. The dependence of nanoparticle concentration on the dielectric response has been analysed. Proposing physical mechanisms that explain the experimental results observed over the oil and the paper samples. Some conclusions are extracted in this work that may be of interest if nanofluids are considered as liquid insulation for transformers.

Accurate modeling and simulation of electric field transients in HVDC cables is an important support to optimize insulation system design and to evaluate the influence of voltage transients and steady-state conditions on accelerated ageing mechanisms and insulation reliability. Traditionally, field models considering time-independent permittivity and conductivity are used, but this approach neglects polarization mechanisms and charge trapping-detrapping phenomena. This article includes polarization dynamics in the field model and shows that its impact on transient electric field simulations in HVDC paper-insulated cables can be significant. A method is presented to infer the model parameters from experimental polarization and depolarization current measurements.

The heat dissipation factor of conventional epoxy impregnated paper bushings is a subject of concern due to the large quantities of power in a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system. The present work deals with the selection of better insulation as a replacement to the conventional resin impregnated material employing nano-hexagonal-Boron Nitride and nano-hexagonal-Boron Nitride added with nano-cellulose-fiber. The bushing of the converter transformer is designed using the Finite Element Method (FEM), and the electrothermal analysis is performed at the loaded working condition. Besides, numerous optimization schemes are also presented for adapting the structure of the thermal conductor enclosed in the inner conductor. The electrothermal performances of the above materials with the optimized structure are compared and an advanced scheme is proposed. Further, the results obtained from the designed system are employed in the form of an Artificial Neural Network to simplify the process of thermal computation characterized by the selected scheme. The internal parameters of the neural network are tuned implementing a hybrid amalgamation of Particle Swarm optimization - Grey Wolf Optimiser and the performance is compared against the actual values. The supremacy of the implemented algorithm is justified by a comparative analysis with other well-established algorithms using various statistical parameters.

Over the decades, the immense growth has been reported in research publications due to continuous developments in science. To date, various approaches have been proposed that find similarity between research papers by applying different similarity measures collectively or individually based on the content of research papers. However, the contemporary schemes are not conceptualized enough to find related research papers in a coherent manner. This paper is aimed at finding related research papers by proposing a comprehensive and conceptualized model via building ontology named COReS: Content-based Ontology for Research Paper Similarity. The ontology is built by finding the explicit relationships (i.e., super-type sub-type, disjointedness, and overlapping) between state-of-the-art similarity techniques. This paper presents the applications of the COReS model in the form of a case study followed by an experiment. The case study uses InText citation-based and vector space-based similarity measures and relationships between these measures as defined in COReS. The experiment focuses on the computation of comprehensive similarity and other content-based similarity measures and rankings of research papers according to these measures. The obtained Spearman correlation coefficient results between ranks of research papers for different similarity measures and user study-based measure, justify the application of COReS for the computation of document similarity. The COReS is in the process of evaluation for ontological errors. In the future, COReS will be enriched to provide more knowledge to improve the process of comprehensive research paper similarity computation.

Tight assembly of stator windings with no insulation paper damage is a manufacturing challenge. We evaluate different sets of parts according to the following parameters: magnet wire thickness, stator slot smoothness, length of the straight magnet wire after the slot end, and type and amount of insulation cap at the end of the slot. These parameters have discrete values with small differences between them. The damage criterion is the decrease of the insulation paper breakdown voltage after assembly/disassembly of parts, assembled in a small set of designed experiments. Parameter values, i.e., levels at individual experiments are set by an orthogonal experiment matrix. Repetition of each experiment provides statistical significance. Data analysis shows that the additive model alone is not sufficient due to the high correlation of the parameters' influences. We extend the model to include interparameter influences, which we model by adding a virtual parameter. The extended additive model generates parameter values that do not degrade the insulation paper breakdown voltage within the manufacturing process. These values are verified by repetitions of the control experiment.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a paper-based chipless RFID sensor for wetness content measurement in plant leaves. The sensor is designed using a passive microwave resonator to measure the ambient physical parameter. The resonator is designed with a rectangular loop inductively coupled with an interdigital capacitor. The experimental analysis of the designed sensor is illustrated here to prove its efficacy. The resonator provides adequate backscattered signal for wireless measurement in the microwave frequency band. When interrogated with a couple of UWB antennas and a VNA, it yields accurate leaf wetness response of the plant. The commercial competence of this sensing device is validated through its experimental analysis on three different types of leaf samples. This sensor is suitable for plant health monitoring in any small-scale gardening applications such as nurseries and greenhouses.

We present a novel implementation of a Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game interaction with a social robot. The framework is tailored to be computationally lightweight, as well as entertaining and visually appealing through collaboration with designers and animators. The fundamental gesture recognition pipeline employs a Leap motion device and two separate machine learning architectures to evaluate kinematic hand data on-the-fly. The first architecture is used to recognize and segment human motion activity in order to initialize the RPS play, and the second architecture is used to classify hand gestures into rock, paper or scissors. The employed tabletop robot interacts in the RPS play through unique animated gestural movements and vocalizations designed by animators which communicate the robot's choices as well as cognitive reflection on winning, losing and draw states. Performance of both learning architectures is carefully evaluated with respect to accuracy, reliability and run time performance under different feature and classifier types. Moreover, we assess our system during an interactive RPS play between robot and human. Experimental results show that the proposed system is robust to user variations and play style in real environment conditions. As such, it offers a powerful application for the subsequent exploration of social human-machine interaction.

To improve the accuracy of user implicit rating prediction, we combine the traditional latent factor model (LFM) and bidirectional gated recurrent unit neural network (BiGRU) model to propose a hybrid model that deeply mines the latent semantics in the unstructured content of the text and generates a more accurate rating matrix. First, we utilize the user’s historical behavior (favorites records) to build a user rating matrix and decompose the matrix to obtain the latent factor vectors of users and literature. We also apply the BERT model for word embedding of the research papers to obtain the sequence of word vectors. Then, we apply the BiGRU with the user attention mechanism to mine the research paper textual content and to generate the new literature latent feature vectors that are used to replace the original literature latent factor vectors decomposed from the rating matrix. Finally, a new rating matrix is generated to obtain users’ ratings of noninteractive research papers and to generate the recommendation list according to the user latent factor vector. We design experiments on the real datasets and verify that the research paper recommendation model is superior to traditional recommendation models in terms of precision, recall, F1-value, coverage, popularity and diversity.

This paper describes the design, fabrication and characterization of a three phase floating electrodes electroportation system for dust confinement, compatible with industrial optical quality control systems. The proposed Floating Electrode Electronic Curtain (FE-EC) is composed of floating parallel wire electrodes framed by a two-layer PCB. The floating electrodes are connected to one of the synchronized three channels to generate an electric field traveling wave. The separation between the floating wire electrodes has been determined by minimizing the number of trajectories crossing the FE-EC using a numerical simulation tool. It is shown that the effect of the FE-EC in the luminosity of an industrial led luminaire can be compensated by an 1% increment in the led supply voltage. The performance of the fabricated FE-EC prototype is experimentally quantified, showing efficiencies higher than 95% in simulated relevant conditions.

Software fault prediction (SFP) is a research area that helps development and testing process deliver software of good quality. Software metrics are of various types and are used in SFP for measurements. Inheritance is a prominent feature, which measures the depth, breadth, and complexity of object-oriented software. A few studies exclusively addressed the efficacy of inheritance in SFP. This provokes the need to identify the potential ingredients associated with inheritance, which can be helpful in SFP. In this paper, our aim is to collecting, organizing, categorizing, and investigating published fault prediction studies. Findings include identification of 54 inheritance metrics, 78 public datasets with various combinations of 10 inheritance metrics, 60% use of method level & use of private datasets, an increased number of studies using machine learning approaches. This study will facilitate scholars to studying previous literature on software fault prediction having software metrics, with their methods, public data sets, performance evaluation of machine learning algorithms, and findings of experimental results in a comfortable, and efficient way, emphasizing the inherited aspect specifically.

Most existing studies and public datasets for handwritten Chinese text recognition are based on the regular documents with clean and blank background, lacking research reports for handwritten text recognition on challenging areas such as educational documents and financial bills. In this paper, we focus on examination paper text recognition and construct a challenging dataset named examination paper text (SCUT-EPT) dataset, which contains 50 000 text line images (40 000 for training and 10 000 for testing) selected from the examination papers of 2 986 volunteers. The proposed SCUT-EPT dataset presents numerous novel challenges, including character erasure, text line supplement, character/phrase switching, noised background, nonuniform word size, and unbalanced text length. In our experiments, the current advanced text recognition methods, such as convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) exhibits poor performance on the proposed SCUT-EPT dataset, proving the challenge and significance of the dataset. Nevertheless, through visualizing and error analysis, we observe that humans can avoid vast majority of the error predictions, which reveal the limitations and drawbacks of the current methods for handwritten Chinese text recognition (HCTR). Finally, three popular sequence transcription methods, connectionist temporal classification (CTC), attention mechanism, and cascaded attention-CTC are investigated for HCTR problem. It is interesting to observe that although the attention mechanism has been proved to be very effective in English scene text recognition, its performance is far inferior to the CTC method in the case of HCTR with large-scale character set.

In this paper, we present a new scheme for implementing virtual keyboards, which uses only two to four motion-recognition rings per hand and a two-dimensional keyboard template (e.g., an A4 size paper with printed key positions). It has the benefit of portability, customizability, and low-cost when compared with existing approaches. Essentially, we have shown that wearing two wireless IoT rings on the middle phalanges of two fingers of each hand, users can input the alphabetic characters into a computing device by typing on a flat paper on a desk, and potentially in mid-air. We have demonstrated that two rings are sufficient in capturing the gestures and motions of all fingers in a typing hand for keystrokes recognition. A single wireless IoT ring, which weighs 7.8 grams, consists of a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) unit, a micro inertial measurement unit (mIMU), and a cell battery. The 3-axes attitude angles and the Z-axis acceleration of each ring are adopted as the features for keystroke recognition. The overall keystroke recognition accuracy rate can reach as high as 94.8% when two IoT rings are worn by a user on each hand; this accuracy rate increases to 98.6%, when four rings are worn on each typing hand.

With the rapid increase of publishable research articles and manuscripts, the pressure to find reviewers often overwhelms the journal editors. This paper incorporates the major entity level metrics found in the heterogeneous publication networks into a pattern mining process in order to recommend academic reviewers and potential research collaborators. In essence, the paper integrates authors' h-index and papers' citation count and proposes a quantification to account for the author diversity into one formula duped impact to measure the real influence of a scientific paper. Thereafter, this paper formulates two kinds of target patterns and mines them harnessing the high-utility itemset mining (HUIM) framework. The first pattern, researcher-general topic patterns (RGP), is a pattern that includes only researchers; whereas, the researcher-specific topic patterns (RSP) is comprised of combinations of researchers and keywords that summarize their niche of expertise. The HUI algorithms of Two Phase, IHUP, UP-Growth, FHM, FHN, HUINIV-Mine, D2HUP, and EFIM were compared on two real-world citation datasets related to Deep Learning and HUIM, in addition to the open source mushroom dataset. The EFIM algorithm showed good performance in terms of run time and memory usage. Consequently, it was then used to mine the patterns within the proposed framework. The discovered patterns of RGP and RSP showed high coverage, proving the efficiency of the proposed framework.

The study is a vital instance to merge the psychology and the computer science disciplines to provide benefits about the developments of the theory of mind (ToM) skills of and interaction with for the students with neurodevelopmental disorders (SWND). In this research, a traditional two-dimensional (2D) method (paper), a 2D display touch screen and the three-dimensional (3D) [augmented reality (AR)] visual displays based on the computer are constructed for the SWND to do the ToM test questions. In this work, The Little Prince story written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is adapted to the ToM test questions to measure the SWND's ToM abilities. In this novel approach, three environments: a traditional 2D method (paper), the 2D display touch screen, and the AR visual display environments are experienced by the SWND. The experimental results are compared according to SWND's ToM success ratios, their ToM perspective skills', their satisfaction on these different test environments. This research suggests the novel approach to measure the ToM abilities of the SWND with human-computer interaction aspect. This article displays the positive effects of the 2D display touch screen and the AR usage on the Tom Test for the SWND.

Citation count is a widely-used indicator for calculating the academic impact of scientific papers, but it is limited because it assumes all citations are of similar value and weights each equally. By examining the influence changes in papers' citation distribution and the cited papers' unequal contributions to the citing ones, this study aims to distinguish citations and, on this basis, evaluate the academic impact of the papers. Three indices of time-weighted citation count, citation width and citation depth are proposed to distinguish citations and perform the evaluation task. The experimental results show that papers exhibit different influence intensity characteristics in different periods of citation life. Those papers got larger citations in recent years are more influential and more active to gain new citations. The papers show the different scope of influence in their citing environment, although they were originally published in the same journal and the same year. In addition, the different frequency of mentions and the different subject similarities with the citing works suggest that the papers have different importance and usefulness for subsequent research. These results suggest that these three indices do help to distinguish citations and reveal the different intensity and contribution of influences in citations. Finally, the three indices are integrated into the overall evaluation of the academic impact of the paper, and the weight of each index is calculated by the entropy weight method. Quite different overall impacts in the paper are shown due to their different performances in the three indices, even though they have the same total number of citations.

The problem of sulfur corrosion has seriously affected the safe and stable operation of the power transformers. Currently, adding passivators into the transformer oil is the most effective method to suppress the problem. However, no explicit provisions have been made for the optimum concentration of the specific passivators. In this paper, the transformer oils with different corrosive sulfurs and different aging degrees were used to study the protective performance of three different passivators. By comparing the copper surface, the optimum concentrations for each passivators were acquired. Moreover, by testing the breakdown voltage, dielectric loss factor, volume resistivity, and moisture content of the insulating oil after adding passivators with the optimal concentration, the effect of three passivators on the oil quality was obtained. Results show that the three passivators have different protective performance on different types of corrosive sulfurs. Irgamet 39 has a better protective effect at lower concentrations than the other two. The protective effect of all three passivators on dodecyl mercaptan is poor, and a new type of passivator capable of protecting against dodecyl mercaptan needs to be developed. Moreover, the three passivators have different protection performance on the transformer oils with different aging degrees. The protective performance is poor especially for the oils with longer running years or passivators with lower concentrations. Among the three passivators, Irgamet 39 had the smallest impact on the oil quality, followed by T571 and then TTA. The above research can provide some references for guiding the passivator addition in actual projects and preventing the occurrence of sulfur corrosion failures.

This paper presents a thorough review of transmitarray devices particularly aiming antenna beamsteering, gathering some of the most relevant solutions published by the scientific community in the field. First, the background for realizing 1-D and 2-D antenna beamsteering with a transmitarray is introduced. Subsequently, several examples of unit-cells for transmitarray implementation and complete transmitarray designs presented in the literature are outlined. Each solution is analyzed in detail, identifying the nature of its layout, e.g., based on microstrip patches, frequency selective surfaces (FSS), or metamaterials (MMs), and the method employed to enable electronic reconfigurability, e.g., p-i-n diodes, varactor diodes, or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). In addition, some models with the capability of controlling the wavefront polarization modes are also included herein since these are the base of hybrid transmitarrays, i.e., transmitarray with both electronic beamsteering and polarization control. Finally, all the models are compared against each other in order to highlight their benefits and limitations, summarizing their main characteristics, such as the frequency of operation and bandwidth, insertion loss, physical dimensions, and maximum beamsteering range, when available.

The semantic link network is a semantics modeling method for effective information services. This paper proposes a new text summarization approach that extracts semantic link network from scientific paper consisting of language units of different granularities as nodes and semantic links between the nodes, and then ranks the nodes to select Top-k sentences to compose summary. A set of assumptions for reinforcing representative nodes is set to reflect the core of paper. Then, semantic link networks with different types of node and links are constructed with different combinations of the assumptions. Finally, an iterative ranking algorithm is designed for calculating the weight vectors of the nodes in a converged iteration process. The iteration approximately approaches a stable weight vector of sentence nodes, which is ranked to select Top-k high-rank nodes for composing summary. We designed six types of ranking models on semantic link networks for evaluation. Both objective assessment and intuitive assessment show that ranking semantic link network of language units can significantly help identify the representative sentences. This paper not only provides a new approach to summarizing text based on the extraction of semantic links from text but also verifies the effectiveness of adopting the semantic link network in rendering the core of text. The proposed approach can be applied to implementing other summarization applications such as generating an extended abstract, the mind map, and the bulletin points for making the slides of a given paper. It can be easily extended by incorporating more semantic links to improve text summarization and other information services.

This research proposes an inkjet printed dual-band dual-sense circularly polarized antenna using CPW-feeding on PET substrate. The antenna is designed and optimized using ANSYS HFSS, which operates at 4.01 GHz - 5.05 GHz (22.96%) and 6.23 GHz - 7.58 GHz (19.55%) with a return loss of $0.44\lambda $ x $0.52\lambda $ x $0.002\lambda $ , where $\lambda $ is the free-space wavelength at the lowest circular polarization frequency. Measurement of the fabricated version shows good agreement with the simulated version. To the best of author’s knowledge, this proposed design is the first circularly polarized antenna integrating flexibility with dual-band and dual-sensing characteristics.

Mineral oil has traditionally been used as a cooling fluid in power transformers, but its low biodegradability and low fire point have motivated the search of alternatives. In this work, six different dielectric fluids have been studied, including four vegetable liquids, from sunflower, rapeseed, soybean, and palm, one synthetic ester and a mineral oil used for comparison. These oils were subjected to an accelerated thermal ageing in glass vessels at 150°C for four weeks (672 hours) in presence of Kraft insulating paper. Different oils parameters were measured during the ageing, i.e. breakdown voltage, dielectric dissipation factor, permittivity, DC resistivity, density, kinematic viscosity, flash and fire points, interfacial tension, acidity, and dissolved gases; additionally, the degree of polymerisation (DP) of the paper was measured. Results showed that the changes of the natural esters properties, except for the palm oil, were similar along the ageing time. Palm oil results were similar to those of the mineral oil, whereas synthetic ester showed a behaviour similar to natural esters. The kraft paper degradation was higher in the mineral oil, followed by the synthetic ester and the palm oil. No significant differences were found in the ageing with the natural esters.

Discovering promising research themes in a scientific domain by evaluating semantic information extracted from bibliometric databases represents a challenging task for Natural Language Processing (NLP). While existing NLP methods generally characterize the research topics using unique key terms, we take a step further by more accurately modeling the research themes as finite sets of key terms. The proposed approach involves two stages: identifying the research themes from paper metadata using LDA topic modeling; and, evaluation of research theme trends by employing a version of the Mann-Kendall test that is able to cope with multivariate time series of term occurrences. The results obtained by applying this general methodology to Information Security domain confirm its viability.

The citation intent extraction and classification has long been studied as it is a good measure of relevancy. Different approaches have classified the citations into different classes; including weak and strong, positive and negative, important and unimportant. Others have gone further from binary classification to multi-classes, including extension, use, background, or comparison. Researchers have utilized various elements of the information, including both meta and contents of the paper. The actual context of any referred article lies within the citation context where a paper is referred. Various attempts have been made to study the citation context to capture the citation intent, but very few have encoded the words to their contextual representations. For automated classification, we need to train deep learning models, which take the citation context as input and provides the reason for citing a paper. Deep neural models work on numeric data, and therefore, we must convert the text information to its numeric representation. Natural languages are much complex than computer languages. Computer languages have a pre-defined fixed syntax where each word has a unique meaning. In contrast, every word in natural language may have a different meaning and may well be understood by understanding the position, previous discussion, and neighboring words. The extra information provides the context of a word within a sentence. We have, therefore, used contextual word representation, which is trained through deep neural networks. Deep models require massive data for generalizing the model, however, the existing state-of-the-art datasets don’t provide much information for the training models to get generalized. Therefore, we have developed our own scholarly dataset, Citation Context Dataset with Intent (C2D-I), an extension of the C2D dataset. We used a transformers based model for capturing the contextual representation of words. Our proposed method outperformed the existing benchmark methods with F1 score of 89%.

Tracking the trends and taking early steps accordingly is important in academia, as well as in other domains such as technology and finance. In this work, we focus on the problem of predicting the trending research topics from a collection of academic papers. Previous efforts model the problem in different ways and mostly apply classical approaches such as correlation analysis and clustering. There are also several recent neural model based solutions, however they rely on feature vectors and additional information for the trend prediction. In this work, given a collection of publications within the observation time window, we predict whether the use of a keyword will increase, decrease or be steady for the future time window (prediction window). As the solution, we propose a family of deep neural architectures that focus on generating summary representations for paper collections under the query keyword. Due to the sequence based nature of the data, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) module plays a core role, but it is combined with different layers in a novel way. The first group of proposed neural architectures consider each paper as a sequence of keywords and use word embeddings to construct paper collection representations. In this group, the proposed architectures differ from each other in the way year based and overall summary representations are constructed. In the second group, each paper is directly represented as a vector and the use of different paper embedding techniques are explored. The analyses of the models are performed on a variety of paper collections belonging to different academic venues, obtained from Microsoft Academic Graph data set. The experiments conducted against baseline methods show that proposed deep neural based models achieve higher trend prediction performance than the baseline models on the overall. Among the proposed models, paper embedding based models provide better results for most of the cases.

The next-generation wireless technology that can fulfill such a demand, namely the fifth-generation (5G) technology, should provide 1000 times larger capacity. Moreover, sixth-generation (6G) communication, which represents a significant upgrade from the fifth-generation (5G) network and is anticipated to operate from 100 GHz to 3 THz band, will be required in the years after 2030 due to newly developed data-hungry applications and the greatly expanded wireless network. To meet the ever-growing demands of wireless carriers, an efficient wireless access method that can improve wireless area throughput without expanding bandwidth or cell size is required. Radio Frequency (RF) Orbital Angular Momentum vortex waves (which is now on referred to as OAM waves) to address the concerns mentioned above have attracted much attention in recent years. Due to their orthogonality, different OAM waves of different modes can be multiplexed in the same frequency channel, which can greatly increase the channel capacity. Using the orthogonal modes, a new type of multiple access scheme known as Mode Domain Multiple Access (MDMA) can be used by multiple users using the same frequency channel without additional resources such as frequency and time. As a result, the channel capacity for the next generation wireless communication systems can be enhanced as well as the overall spectrum efficiency can be improved. This review paper begins with an overview of the next generation communication such as 5G communication technology and beyond. This paper first briefly discusses the theory of OAM waves and several methods to generate OAM waves. Various different designs have also been analyzed for their ability to generate OAM waves and discussion on several restrictions and solutions to resolve. Open concerns and development trends are discussed for possible future RF OAM antenna upgrades. This study also proposes that for next generation wireless communication employing OAM, the typically used Uniform Circular Array (UCA) could be paired with the Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system to improve performance in dense or urban areas for multiusers. In addition, the purity of OAM-modes needs to be considered for efficient utilization of the OAM system for future communications at the radio domain.

Several important advancements in the integration of energy storage into microgrids have fueled a lot of research and development over the last ten years to achieve the global decarbonization goal by 2050. The effective integration of the energy storage system in the microgrid is essential to ensure a safe, reliable, and resilient operation. Nevertheless, the utilization of energy storage in microgrids brings several issues, including poor power quality and intermittence characteristics. To address these concerns, appropriate energy storage controllers and optimization schemes are required to manage and optimize the power efficiently and securely. Although various research works have been performed and published over the years, the analytical assessment of energy storage controllers and optimization schemes integration into microgrids has not been carried out yet. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive analytical evaluation of energy storage controllers and optimization schemes in Microgrid by recognizing and evaluating the highly influential 110 manuscripts using the Scopus database within the year 2010-2021. The analytical analysis emphasizes the current research trends, keyword evaluation, research classification, country analysis, authorship, and research collaboration. The paper also discusses and compares 24 controllers and 21 optimization schemes in the highly cited 110 manuscripts. Besides, critical discussion and assessment are conducted over 15 emerging subject areas. The constructive analysis identifies the existing limitations and research gaps in the selected 110 papers. By analyzing the existing issues, this manuscript provides several guidelines and suggestions for future improvement. This survey will help to deepen the development concepts to achieve improved power quality, economic prosperity, energy savings, and increased efficiency towards sustainable operation and management in the microgrid.

Temperature compensation occupies a significant function in the insulation condition evaluation of converter transformer bushings based on the Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS), which could influence the accuracy of its insulation diagnosis. In order to accurately obtain the variation law of FDS at different temperature, a Resin Impregnated Paper (RIP) insulation bushing for converter transformer was designed by the equivalence of maximum electric field, coaxial cylinder structure and RIP materials. The increment law of dielectric parameters both dissipation factor and capacitance at wideband frequency (1mHz ~ 10kHz) was measured for a quality RIP insulation samples at the temperature from 30°C to 100°C. 1) Under the uniform temperature, it was found that the value of dissipation factor was rising with the frequency from 10 Hz to 0.001Hz, while the tendency was reversed at the frequency from 100Hz to10kHz. 2) The minimum value of tan $\delta $ from 0.001Hz to 10kHz could be driven to higher frequency moving (10Hz to 10kHz) by the action of temperature rising 30°C to 100°C.3) The effect of temperature on the lower frequency 0.001Hz ~ 1Hz tan $\delta $ of RIP insulation closely conformed to the index law of Arrhenius equation, while it was in accordance with the linear decrease at higher frequency 1kHz ~ 10kHz. The effect of temperature on dissipation factor could be eliminated by curve segment shifting based the experiment equation, which it at 0.001Hz dissipation factor could be eliminated by curve shifting based the index equation originated Arrhenius equation. The method is beneficial to eliminate the influence of temperature on the dielectric spectroscopy test results, and then to eliminate the influence of temperature on the dielectric spectroscopy diagnosis of RIP bushings.

Transmission schemes taking both sum rate and fairness into account for dirty paper coding (DPC) based MIMO downlink communications are investigated in this paper. In contrast to existing works which have mostly focused on maximizing the sum rate, we first investigate the problem of finding the maximal sum rate achieved by DPC when the qualitative notions of fairness such as max-min fairness and proportional fairness are employed. This corresponds to a nonconvex problem and cannot be solved by usual weighted sum rate techniques. Several efficient methods for finding the optimal solutions are presented in this paper when the order of users is adjustable during DPC encoding. Simulation results show surprisingly and impact greatly on the design of practical systems that it is often possible to achieve the sum rate capacity with absolute fairness, i.e., an equal rate for each user, when multiple encoding orders of users are used during transmission. When sum rate capacity and absolute fairness cannot be achieved at the same time, the optimal tradeoff between sum rate and fairness is also provided for a general class of quantitative fairness measures.

With the wide application of vegetable insulating oil in power transformers, it is essential to investigate the influence of moisture on the frequency domain dielectric spectrum (FDS) analysis in order to propose an accurate moisture assessment method for vegetable oil-paper insulation system. In this regard, various vegetable oil-paper samples are prepared in a laboratory environment. FDS curves for all samples are obtained at different moisture contents and operating temperatures. A new method to estimate the moisture content in insulation paper is proposed based on the low-frequency characteristic quantity. Also, the effect of operating temperature and water migration between the oil and paper insulation on the FDS analysis is investigated. Based on this analysis, a compensation factor is introduced to eliminate the influence of temperature on paper moisture assessment. Furthermore, an improved normalization method for the temperature effect on the FDS of vegetable oil-paper insulation with different moisture contents is proposed. The proposed moisture assessment and temperature normalization methods are validated thorough their application on an operating power transformer.

Oil-paper insulation as an irreplaceable insulation system in the electrical power transformer is inevitably suffering the water intrusion on working condition, which will make dielectric performance degraded and insulation aging accelerated. In high interest of explaining the deterioration effect of absorbing moisture on the dielectric properties of oil-paper insulation system and corresponding mechanism, the space charge and trap level characteristics are investigated for the specially prepared oil-impregnated pressboards with different moisture contents. The Pulsed Electro Acoustic and Isothermal Surface Potential Decay experiments are performed to test the space charge distributions and evaluate the trap level depths, respectively. It is indicated that the polarity of injected space charges is alternated with the decaying rate being raised when the absorbing moisture is aggravated in oil-impregnated pressboards. The charge carriers are more prone to be captured by the shallow-level traps that have been introduced by water permeation near pressboard surface than the intrinsic deep-level traps inside pressboard. The captured charge carries accounts for the significantly exacerbated space charge accumulation as manifested by the surface charges of oil-impregnated pressboards.
