In a typical vehicle–pedestrian collision, the leading edge or top surface of the hood impacts the pelvis and upper torso, and the hood or windshield strikes the head. The body shell of a vehicle first contacts and injures the body of the pedestrian in a vehicle–pedestrian collision; the shape of the vehicle front determines the location and severity of injuries. Thus, the shape of the vehicle front should be designed in a manner that can minimize casualties. Given this rationale, this study adopted MADYMO to construct a rigid model in which the behaviors of a pedestrian being impacted by a vehicle were simulated, and pedestrian injuries were analyzed. In a vehicle–pedestrian collision, the windshield, hood, bumper, and leading edge of the hood of the car contact the body of the pedestrian...............

There are manytypesof computational techniques like deterministic, evolutionary and random. Evolutionary techniques are also recognized as the technique which has been inspired by nature as these kinds of techniques have taken the concept from nature. Genetic algorithm (GA) is one of the most frequently utilized evolutionary techniques which is utilized to solve different NP-hard computational problems. The base of Genetic Algorithm is the principle of human genetic.
Earlier research presented that it was one of the most successfully used technique to answer the different problems from the domain of Computer Science viz. task scheduling, software cost estimation, image processingand query optimizationetc. In this paper, an effort is used to study the application of Genetic Algorithm in Distributed Computing, Query Optimization, Software Engineering, and Machine Learning.

In this paper, there are two High Pressure Heaters (HPH) were out of service due to lake of maintenance. According to this issue, the unit efficiency decreased which consumed more fuel to compensate the temperature drop. During water circulating in a condensate water system there are heat waste, temperature drop, low performance and poor quantity of heat transfer which will cause an insufficient efficiency due to High Pressure Heaters (HPH) are not working properly.
To remedy this issue, we study and focused on how efficiency can be improved when high pressure heaters in service and compare the results between the two situations in and out of service by calculate different parameters; TGHR, TNHR, Boiler efficiency and NUHR. Fuel cost effectiveness studied in this paper at
maximum heat rate difference 11.8 kJ/ kWh.


Author Keywords:- Heat recovery; heat exchanger; power generation plant; fuel cost; unit efficiency; boilerefficiency.

Multi- Bands a Circular Polarized Radial Shape With Small Disc Patch Antennas and Enhancement Factors on Ground Slots
Adnan Affandi, Mamdoh Barnawi
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
Index: 10.183x/D0802011925 aned
This paper mainly dealing with the design and simulation of irregular shaped of patch antennas in form of radial shapes and small discs (six small discs). this proposed antennas are investigated in this paper. All the designs will be implemented on Roger substrates of dielectric constant εr=2.2 and thickness of 0.175
mm. The purpose of this work is not only to study and analyze the design of a radial patch antenna with several discs attach to it, but also to investigate the effect of enhancement factors which is known as parasitic elements and which is generated in the ground plane Also aground slot have been utilized to convert the linear
polarization into circular one is investigated .. Enhancement factors to improve the proposed antennas parameters such as gain ,bandwidths and radiation patterns will be fully demonstrated in this paper.

Driving Safely in Smart Cars in a Smart Road Environment
Keshav Luchoomun
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF
Index: 10.183x/E0802012636 aned
Smart cars are promising application domain for ubiquitous computing. Context-awareness is the key features of a smart car for safer and easier driving. Context recognition is important support for a smart car to avoid accidents proactively. Regardless of many industrial innovations and academic progresses, there is still today a lack of fully context-aware smart cars. This paper presents an overview of the related works on different smart cars and smart road environment systems. The nature of context awareness in smart cars and road environment is also presented. Moreover, the term paper proposes a hierarchical context model for description of the complex driving environment. Smart cars continuously connectivity and sharing information under intelligent mobility has been put forward. A smart car prototype including software platform and hardware requirements is built to provide the running environment for the context model and application. Performance metric shows the accuracy of context situation recognition.
Author Keywords:- Context-aware, seamless connectivity, smart car, smart road, vehicle-to-vehicle communication (VVC), vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (VIC).
