A MODEL TO PREDICT ANGULAR PHASE SHIFT BETWEEN WIND AND WAVES FOR FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE APPLICATIONS
Abstract: This paper develops a model to predict angular phase shift between wind and waves that can be applied to floating offshore wind turbines. A theoretical simulation, developed in MATLAB program, has been run using non-linear effects that have led to specific algorithms based on matrix development of wind and waves direction. The modelling uses a random generator to create the wind and wave direction on the basis that the angular …

Removal of Blotches and Impulse Noise in Gray Scale Images Using Non-linear Algorithm
Abstract: An image consists of artifact, which appears in an image that is actually not present in the original imaged object. An image artifact (noise) is sometimes the result of improper operation of the imager, and other times a consequence of natural processes or properties of the human body. Blotches (bulk noise) and impulses are the artifacts where blotch can be either bright or dark spots and impulse can be salt …

Use of Data Envelopment Analysis to Measure the Technical Efficiencies of Banks in India
Abstract: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been applied in many studies in the banking industry. It is a nonparametric method in Operations Research and Economics for measuring the relative efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Companies use many different inputs (such as assets, employees, shareholders’ equities, etc.) to generate outputs (such as profits, revenues, market values, etc.). This paper is an attempt to implement …
