Responsibities of Reviewers
Contribution to editorial decisions
Peer review assists the editor of IJCEM in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication, and lies at the heart of the scientific method. IJCEM shares the view of many that all scholars who wish to contribute to publications have an obligation to do a fair share of reviewing.
Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and conflict of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

Design of Low Power Wide Gates used in Register File and Tag Comparator
Isac Daimary, Mohammed Aneesh
Abstract
This paper presents a low power register file and tag comparator which has a lower leakage and higher noise immunity without affecting their speed due to wide fan in gates. Increasing leakage currents combined with reduced noise margins significantly degrade the robustness of wide dynamic circuits. Using low Vth 90 nm CMOS process technology model simulation of register files and tag comparators is designed. An improvement of 20% power reduction and 2 times noise immunity is observed in the implemented register file using the proposed circuit at the same delay compared to the standard domino circuits.

Swati Shrivastava, Abhinav Bhargava
Abstract
This paper presents a Rectangular micro-strip patch antenna by cutting three horizontal slots. It is triple-band antenna, which operates at three resonant frequencies 1.2, 3.2 & 4.5GHz.Which is a new multi-band micro strip antenna, using projected antenna design and micro strip feeding at proper location we find the resultant return loss, VSWR and bandwidth. For this design of micro strip antenna we have used FR-4 substrate which has permittivity of 4.4 and thickness 1.6, loss tangent is 0.02. FEKO simulation software has used for designing and analysis. We have observed that using triple slotted patch antenna and using micro strip at centre feed, we can get better return loss, VSWR bandwidth and multiband.

A Novel Message Driven Local Repair Algorithm for MANET
A. E. Narayanan, A. Vincent Jeyakumar
Abstract
Mostly MANET is used for emergency situation like disaster management which has the task of supplying QoS in an effort to provide the right information to the right place at the right time. In this scenario with the capability to send and receive reliable real-time video and voice packets, the involved network must be able to provide a certain level of QoS. So that the QoS impact in the face of network failures must be minimized in MANET like temporary emergency networks. In such a situation, when an intermediate node fails the network has no built in protocol to respond to this link breakage, the connection will have to be rerouted from the source and QoS will have to be re-established. This global fault-tolerance method means the source will have to recomputed and renegotiate a new QoS path which, depending on the network size, could be costly in terms of computation and communication time necessary for path negotiation (negotiation includes implementation of the new path). In contra, the proposed fault-tolerant algorithm makes it possible for the Intermediate nodes to efficiently repair the failed connection locally and reroute the packets to the destination.

Modeling of UPFC and DG by the Current Based Model
B. Raja Rajeswari , P. Bhaskara Prasad , P. Bala Chennaiah
Abstract
This paper deals with the steady state modeling of unified power flow controller (UPFC). Since current limitations are determinant to FACTS apparatus design, the proposed current based model (CBM) assumes the current as variable, allowing easy manipulation of current restrictions in optimal power flow evaluations. The performances of current based model (CBM) and of the power injection model (PIM) are compared through a Quasi-Newton optimization approach. The performance of a medium size network with 39 busbars is studying from the point of view network having only UPFC and the network having UPFC and DG. For the Two networks active power losses, reactive power losses are compared.
