    According to partial discharge (PD) damage in the electrodes that are not entirely bridging, the presence of PD in the high voltage (HV) power cable might lead to insulation failure. PD defects can damage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables directly, which is one of the most critical electrical issues in the industry. Poor workmanship during cable jointing, aging, or exposure to the surrounding environment is the most common cause of PD in HV cable systems. As a result, the location of the PD signals that occur cannot be classified without identifying the multiple PD signals present in the cable system. In this study, the artificial neural network (ANN) based feedforward back propagation classification technique is used as a diagnostic tool thru MATLAB software in which the PD signal was approached to determine the accuracy of the location PD signal. In addition, statistical feature extraction was added to compare the accuracy of classification with the standard method. The three-point technique is also an approach used to locate PD signals in a single line 11 kV XLPE underground power cable. The results show that the statistical feature extraction had been successful classify the PD signal location with the accuracy of 80% compared to without statistical feature extraction. The distance between PD signals and the PD source affected the result of the three-point technique which proved that a lower error means a near distance between them.

    Cervical cancer refers to a dangerous and common illness that impacts women worldwide. Moreover, this cancer affects over 300,000 people each year, with one woman diagnosed every minute. It affects over 0.5 million women annually, leading to over 0.3 million deaths. Recently, considerable literature has grown around developing technologies to detect cervical cancer cells in women. Previously, a cervical cancer diagnosis was made manually, which may result in a false positive or negative. Automated detection of cervical cancer and analysis method of the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear images are still debated among researchers. Thus, this paper reviewed several studies related to the detection method of Pap smear images focusing on Nuclei Segmentation and Deep Learning (DL) from the publication year of 2020, 2021, and 2022. Training, validation, and testing stages have all been the subject of study. However, there are still inadequacies in the current methodologies that have caused limitations to the proposed approaches by researchers. This study may inspire other researchers to view the proposed methods' potential and provide a decent foundation for developing and implementing new solutions.

    Power cables are very critical in electrical power systems as power cables failure can interrupt the electrical flow due to unexpected power failure. There are a few sorts of partial discharge (PD) estimations gadgets in the market. For instance, PD can be distinguished by utilizing Rogowski coil (RC) sensors in the disconnected procedure. The current issue PD signal does not usually occur as a single source. Thus, the analysis of multiple PD sources is required to ensure that the cable insulation is in a healthy condition. PD location technique based on multiple signals in 11kV underground power cable was conducted in this research to estimate the accurate location of the PD signal. Modelling of single power cable in a distance of 10km with the RC sensor is installed at several distances to capture the PD signal that travels along the power cable. By selecting the distance between six RC sensors and synchronous multiple PD signal, the design of the power system has been constructed by using EMTP-ATP software. Multi-point technique based on time difference of arrival (TDOA) was performed in the single line power cable to obtain the PD location. The measurement using multi-point of RC sensor technique is preferred based on the conditions due to the value of velocity elimination. Based on the results, the accurate location of PD Source 1 is detected 501 m along RC sensor A1 to RC sensor A3. In contrast, PD source 2 has been detected 2800.15 m along RC sensor A4 to RC sensor A6 with the percentage error of 0.2% and 0.0053%, respectively. The findings show that the location of multiple PD signal that occurred along the line cable can be detected accurately by using the multi-point technique and TDOA. Hence, the performance of the power system has been improved.

    To improve accuracy of degradation diagnosis for HV solid insulation, it is important to clarify the mechanism of inception and characterization of electrical-tree. In this paper, the study of influence between TIV and electrical tree characterization was done in a laboratory experiment by monitoring the TIV values and electrical tree propagation. This experiment involve using charged couple device camera (CCD) to capture and record the electrical tree thorough the experiment, a microscope to enlarge the needle tip that was inserted into the XLPE sample, and finally a personal computer to display the whole treeing growth process. Then, the voltage was injected into sample of XPLE constantly until the electrical tree start to initiate at the needle tip. As a result, the electrical tree take form based on the TIV, small number of TIV produce a less dense electrical tree compare to higher value of TIV. Additionally, denser electrical tree propagates faster and may lead to early breakdown.

    Partial discharge signal measurement based on stand-alone and hybrid detection technique for power transformer
    Partial discharge (PD) is a phenomenon that causes failures in high voltage (HV) components due to the degradation of insulation. Before an interruption or fault occurs, early detection of insulation degradation is essential. However, the long-term effect of PD will lead to the failure of the power system. This is important to control and diagnose the health of the HV power equipment such as power transformer. The main issue when measuring PD is the accuracy and sensitivity of the PD detection technique. This paper consists of two parts which are classification of the PD detection technique and hybrid detection technique. In this paper, an overview of the detection technique for power transformer including optical detection, chemical detection, electrical detection, electromagnetic detection, acoustic emission detection and hybrid detection technique is presented. The hybrid detection technique is based on combining two or more stand-alone detection technique. Based on this review, the hybrid detection technique showed that the advantages of performance in terms of sensitivity and accuracy for detecting the PD in power transformer.

    Zero-Index Metamaterial Superstrates UWB Antenna for Microwave Imaging Detection
    Metamaterials (MTM) can enhance the properties of microwaves and also exceed some limitations of devices used in technical practice. Note that the antenna is the element for realizing a microwave imaging (MWI) system since it is where signal transmission and absorption occur. UltraWideband (UWB) antenna superstrates with MTM elements to ensure the signal transmitted from the antenna reaches the tumor and is absorbed by the same antenna. The lack of conventional head imaging techniques, for instance, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computerized Tomography (CT)scan, has been demonstrated in the paper focusing on the point of failure of these techniques for prompt diagnosis and portable systems. Furthermore, the importance of MWI has been addressed elaborately to portray its effectiveness and aptness for a primary tumor diagnosis. Other than that, MTM element designs have been discussed thoroughly based on their performances towards the contributions to the better image resolution of MWI with detailed reason-ings. This paper proposes the novel design of a Zeroindex Split Ring Resonator (SRR) MTM element superstrate with a UWB antenna implemented in MWI systems for detecting tumor. The novel design of the MTM enables the realization of a high gain of a superstrate UWB antenna with the highest gain of 5.70 dB. Besides that, the MTM imitates the conduct of the zeroreflection phase on the resonance frequency, which does not exist. An antenna with an MTM unit is of a 7 × 4 and 10 × 5 Zero-index SRR MTM element that acts as a superstrate plane to the antenna. Apart from that, Rogers (RT5880) substrate material is employed to fabricate the designed MTM unit cell, with the following characteristics: 0.51 mm thickness, the loss tangent of 0.02, as well as the relative permittivity of 2.2, with Computer Simulation Technology (CST) performing the simulation and design. Both MTM unit cells of 7 × 4 and 10 × 5 attained 0° with respect to the reflection phase at the 2.70 GHz frequency band. The first design, MTM Antenna Design 1, consists of a 7 × 4 MTM unit cell that observed a rise of 5.70 dB with a return loss (S11) −20.007 dB at 2.70 GHz frequency. The second design, MTM Antenna Design 2, consists of 10 × 5 MTM unit cells that recorded a gain of 5.66 dB, having the return loss (S11) −19.734 dB at 2.70 GHz frequency. Comparing these two MTM elements superstrates with the antenna, one can notice that the 7 × 4 MTM element shape has a low number of the unit cell with high gain and is a better choice than the 10 × 5 MTM element in realizing MTM element superstrates antenna for MWI.

    A novel nucleus detection on pap smear image using mathematical morphology approach
    The fourth most common form of cancer among women is cervical cancer with 569, 847 new cases and 311, 365 reported deaths worldwide in 2018. Cervical cancer is classified as the third leading cause of cancer among women in Malaysia, with approximately 1, 682 new cervical cases and about 944 deaths occurred in 2018. Cervical cancer can be detected early by cervical cancer screening. Papanicolaou test, also known as Pap smear test is conducted to detect cancer or pre-cancer in the cervix. The disadvantage of this conventional method is that the sample of microscopic images will risk blurring effects, noise, shadow, lighting and artefact problems. The diagnostic microscopic observation performed by a microbiologist is normally time-consuming and may produce inaccurate results even by experienced hands. Thus, correct diagnosis information is essential to assist physicians to analyze the condition of the patients. In this study, an automated segmentation system is proposed to be used as it is more accurate and faster compared to the conventional technique. Using the proposed method in this paper, the image was enhanced by applying a median filter and Partial Contrast Stretching. A segmentation method based on mathematical morphology was performed to segment the nucleus in the Pap smear images. Image Quality Assessment (IQA) which measures the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were used to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results of the numerical simulation indicate that the proposed method shows a higher percentage of accuracy and specificity with 93.66% and 95.54% respectively compared to Otsu, Niblack and Wolf methods. As a conclusion, the percentage of sensitivity is slightly lower, with 89.20% compared to Otsu and Wolf methods. The results presented here may facilitate improvements in the detection performance in comparison to the existing methods.

    Review Study of Image De-Noising on Digital Image Processing and Applications
    This paper reviews several studies of image de-noising on digital image processing and applications. Noisy images contain different noise that exist either due to environment or electronic interferences. Ergo, de-noising is crucial to eliminate the noise that disturb data collecting process. The impact of de-noising on image processing can result for accurate and precise data collected from the image. Additionally, de-noising process required several crucial steps that help to enhance knowledge on digital image and its application. Hence, study and understanding de-noising can improve multiple aspect such as image quality, data sensitivity and specificity, accuracy of the collected data, and increase the percentage of each parameter.

    Analysis on Multiple Acoustic and Electrical Emission of PD Signal Based on Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) on Power Cable
    Acoustic Emission (AE) and Electrical Emission (EE) partial discharge (PD) monitoring are effective methods in detection of the insulation failure in power cables. However, the unwanted noise from the surrounding environment can influence the effectiveness and accuracy of the PD measurement on the PD signal. Therefore, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) denoising technique is introduced in order to suppress the disrupted noise. In this study, a different type of mother wavelet, level decomposition and its frequency spectrum on multiple AE and EE PD signals were performed via MATLAB software in order to analyze the performance of denoising technique. These PD signals were deal with white noise and Discrete spectral interference (DWT). The better performance of denoising technique is based on evaluating the maximum value of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) in order to find the optimum mother wavelet. In this case, the most optimum mother wavelets are rbio3.3 for AE and EE PD signals respectively with the highest value of SNR.
