1. Sign Language recognition system using Convolutional Neural Networks

Communication is key to share and express ideas and thoughts. And not every person has the natural ability to communicate. Mute people communicate with each other and with rest of the people through sign language. Sign language is the way of communication using gestures with hands where each gesture corresponds to particular letter in an alphabet or a word. But to use this every person must have the knowledge of it. But in the real world, it is not the case. With the advancement in the field of deep learning it is possible to solve this problem with low cost. So, this project aims at making it easier for mute people to communicate to the rest of the world. In this project, image of the hand gesture made by the person is captured and is translated to its corresponding meaning in the American sign language system. Equipment such as hand gloves sensor is one of the methods used for sign language detection. But it is expensive and not all of the people in need of it would be able to afford it. A deep learning algorithm called convolutional neural network is used for identifying the gestures and giving the actual letter or word.

2. Face mask detection system

Face masks have become an increasingly important part of the human lifestyle. Ever since the pandemic began, people have been encouraged to wear face masks to curb the spread of Covid-19. The aim of this project is to replicate on a computer what human beings are able to do so effortlessly - detect the presence of faces in their field of vision. This project aims at using a camera placed in different places around the area, to capture images and detect the presence of a facemask in real-time. The proposed Face Detection System is an application that automates the detection of frontal human faces in a given image. The existence of a mask is indicated by a green square around the person’s face along with the percentage of accuracy of the positioning of the mask. The absence of the mask, however, is indicated by a red square around the person’s face, and its related percentage is also displayed to be accurately used for detecting whether a person is wearing a mask properly or not.

3. Automatic number plate recognition using contours and Convolution Neural Networks

Image processing technology is used in Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is useful for identifying stolen vehicles, smart parking systems, and the use of automobiles in unlawful operations. Character recognition is the first step of ANPR, followed by character segmentation and localization. The technique uses contours and morphological processes to locate the number plate initially. We execute character segmentation after localization. Convolution neural networks (CNN) are used by a segmented character to recognize things because they are known to be good at it. The trained CNN model has an 85.31% accuracy rate.

5. Reimagining the city’s identity by strengthening the inner core – A research enquiry for design intervention

A city is its’ past legacy and its present identity. While each city must strive to keep marching forward and upgrade to suit the latest demands of its’ residents, it is important to strike a balance between the past and the present. Flowing towards future ambitions as an urban setting doesn’t necessarily imply a disconnect from its past legacy. The legacy lends the city's identity and gives the citizens a sense of familiarity. Therefore, modern urban planning must not only work towards embracing transition and change of modernity but also strike a balanced relationship between the urban and natural environment. This all-inclusive approach is the soul and crux of cultural heritage management as well. As modernization, commercialization, and urbanization continue to threaten a multitude of historical precincts and buildings, recording and celebrating their existence, acknowledging their contribution to national identity, preserving their associations with the city’s identity today, and protecting them from extinction becomes chiefly important, the corresponding benefit of which is promoting tourism as well. The heritage precincts of Aurangabad city encompass areas surrounding the multitude of the city’s gates of historical significance.

7. Analysis of Dropout in ANN using MNIST Dataset

The concept of Neural Networks is propelled by the neurons within the human brain and researchers needed a machine to imitate the same process. A Neural Network (NN) is a circuit of connected neurons, or in a present-day sense, an artificial neural network, composed of artificial neurons constructed for solving artificial intelligence problems. In the deep neural network, Overfitting is a severe issue. This issue could be caused by unbalanced datasets and incorrect model parameter initialization, which causes the model to adhere too closely to the training data and reduces the model's generalization performance for unknown data. To overcome such problems, Regularization techniques are used. This technique modifies the learning algorithm in a way that increases the model's generalization and performance. Dropout is one such regularization technique for addressing the overfitting problem. During the training, it randomly drops the hidden units or neurons to prevent the units or neurons from co-adaption. This method significantly reduces the overfitting and improves the performance of the neural network model. Dropout is preferred for large neural networks in order to have more randomness.

17. Study on thermal conductivity of fiber-reinforced light weight concrete using natural fibers

Lightweight concrete has lower thermal conductivity and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. This project aims to develop Eco-friendly thermally insulated lightweight concrete by using fibers. Hemp and sisal are natural fibers that play a major role in the reduction of thermal conductivity. Vermiculite is a naturally available material that can be used for lightweight concrete furthermore provides good thermal insulation. Reducing the thermal conductivity by adding fibers in different proportions (1%,1.5%,2%) in concrete where Vermiculite is partially replaced with fine aggregate and Fly ash is partially replaced with cement in which shows a reduction in thermal conductivity and also it can be used for lightweight concrete. The thermal conductivity of the concrete is tested for different mix proportions. Then the mechanical property and durability of the concrete are tested for different proportions. The thermal conductivity of the fiber-reinforced lightweight concrete is tested and the results show that when the amount of fiber increased the thermal conductivity is low. Thus, the low thermal conductivity is obtained by natural fibers. The mechanical strength of the different proportions of mixes are carried out and results show that the increase in fiber reduces the strength. The plate and wall panel are analyzed in Abaqus for the control mix and low thermal conductivity fiber-reinforced lightweight concrete mix which gives the minimum thermal conductivity and appropriate strength. The results from these experiments are found out that the natural fibers and vermiculite can be a good solution for thermally insulated Eco-friendly building construction

18. Improving the accuracy of Neural Networks through Ensemble Techniques

Neural networks usually suffer from model performance problems due to high variance. Ensemble techniques refer to the method of combining multiple models resulting in improving the overall performance of the model. The overall performance can be improved by combining the predictions from multiple models having a good accuracy instead of highly tuning the models, to reduce the variance of predictions and reduce the error due to generalization. In this paper, the different types of ensemble techniques such as stacking ensemble, horizontal voting, and weight average ensemble are being discussed which can be used to improve the model accuracy. The numerous disadvantages of hyperparameter tuning like the wrong choice of parameters, overfitting, and other inefficient optimizing strategies can be overcome using ensemble techniques. The ensemble techniques have numerous advantages such as improving the model performances, reduction of model variance, and so on. Accuracy is improved because results are obtained using the mean predictions of the number of sub-models and the performance is improved with the learning weights of each of the models.

20. Design of water supply treatment process for rural areas

Every aspect of life requires water. Safe drinking water is a basic human right and a prerequisite for improving global living conditions. A clean water supply is the bedrock of a strong economy, but it is woefully devalued globally. Nearly 1.5 million children die each year from water-related diseases around the world. The health of the inhabitants in rural areas has always been low and suppressed. A proper water supply tends to improve people's quality of life by increasing their usage of clean drinking water, reducing the prevalence of water-borne diseases, and increasing their productivity. A design of the water supply treatment process will prove to be beneficial for people in rural regions with careful planning, economic and financial evaluations along with effective design, operation, storage, and distribution facilities provided.

22. Strengthening and compressive behavior of composite multilimbed lightweight CFS build up a column

In building construction there are basically two types of structural steel, hot-rolled steel shapes, and cold-formed steel shapes. The manufacturing process of cold-formed steel involves forming the material by either press-braking or cold roll forming to achieve the desired shape. The built-up CFS columns have better performance than CFS columns of single-channel sections. In this study, the structural performance of new types of composite columns: I-shape, C-shape, and Z-shaped CFS columns of partially concrete-filled and fully concrete-filled are analyzed. This axial performance is compared with hot rolled sections (ISMB) using ANSYS 19. A finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed to simulate the structural performance of these specially shaped CFS columns. Columns were analyzed under axial loading conditions. Investigation in buckling improvement due to partially and fully filled in CFS has good scope in the cost-effective method of improving stiffness and strength. Global buckling was the major failure mode detected. From the comparison, it was observed that the weight of CFS is half of ISMB and fully filled concrete CFS I-shaped section has a 111% increase in load than ISMB section

25. Study on strength of gypsum composite wall panel

Gypsum based composites are widely used in building construction because of their low cost, easy manufacture and many benefits for house living conditions. The wall panels are solid and can be used as load bearing walls. The materials to be used for the panel are gypsum, white cement, glass fibre, and sisal fibre. Gypsum has been widely used in the field of construction engineering due to low energy consumption, cost effective, good fire resistance, thermal and sound isolation properties etc. White cement is a cement with a high tricalcium aluminate content and almost no tetra calcium alumina ferrite. The white cement mortars showed 7% greater tensile strength and 25% greater compression strength than the grey cement mortars. Roving Glass Fibre commercially available E glass fibres can be used to reinforce the gypsum plaster matrix and produce a strong composite material having improved tensile and impact properties. Incorporation of glass fibre increases the mechanical, thermal and water resistance properties. Sisal Fibre is a natural fibre of Agavaceae (Agave) family that yields a stiff fibre, traditionally used in making twine and rope. The advantages of natural fibre composites include lightweight, low-energy production and environmental friendly. Several series of gypsum composites by weight substitution of gypsum with a 1.5% weight of glass fibre and 1% of sisal fibre with proportions such as 20% of white cement are developed and the mechanical properties are to be tested. The axial and shear capacities of gypsum composite wall panel have to be obtained from the experimental tests. The simplified analytical model is verified using the results of ANSYS analysis with materials and properties typical of those used in the building.

26. Study on acoustic properties of natural fiber reinforced light weight concrete

Fibers and foams are commonly used in commercial solutions in acoustic applications because of their excellent sound absorption coefficient at high frequencies [1, 2]. The present study focuses on improving the sound absorption property of lightweight concrete by adding coconut fibers in different proportions (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) in concrete where fine aggregate is replaced by 7% perlite. Gypsum is added to replace 10% cement to make the concrete lightweight and also to perform as a good sound absorber. A foaming agent is also added to improve the porous property of the concrete [2]. The acoustic absorption coefficient is determined using the impedance tube method-ISO 10534- 1:1996 [7]. The responses from the tests performed are compared and the results are analyzed. The results show that the addition of fiber increases sound absorption property and also the addition of perlite and gypsum which makes the concrete lightweight also has a significant impact.

30. Development and performance evaluation of interlocking bricks using industrial waste materials

Red brick is a basic building material used in the construction of buildings. In the ever-growing construction field, Civil Engineers are searching for new building materials based on economy, durability and efficiency. It should also be eco-friendly. This project aims to create low cost, eco-friendly, sustainable and durable system for the construction of load-bearing walls using the Interlocking Bricks (IB). It is a mortar-less masonry system and cement is also not used in brick manufacturing. The interlocking brick is made using waste materials (i.e. fly ash & GGBS) and hydraulic lime as binder. Mix proportions are varied based on the proportion of waste materials. Comparison of interlocking brick and conventional brick on the basis of compressive strength & water absorption of the brick unit. It was found that interlocking brick composed of 55% of fly ash, 25% of GGBS and 20% of lime had the best results in all the tests. The compressive strength was 30% higher than the conventional red bricks. The interlocking brick wall panel was tested by applying axial compressive load and software analysis is carried out using ANSYS 2021 R1 to compare it with the experimental results to find the degree of accuracy between theoretical and experimental models. Cost analysis is done to compare the rate of construction with conventional red brick masonry and was found that it was almost 40% cheaper.

32. Android dictionary application in Android studio

For Students, Teachers and any individual across the world, Dictionary plays a significant role in their life in variety of ways. For instance, with the help of dictionaries, Students can understand their subjects better, improve their communication, and improve their grades by using the words correctly. For medical professionals, a dictionary consisting of medical terms, sorted alphabetically, will be helpful for quick reference. The first ever dictionaries are in the form of books, available even now in any bookstore. But they consume lot of time in searching and the risk of losing them or pages being torn-out is high. With the evolution of technology, it is now much easier to search the unfamiliar words on search engines such as google, etc., with an active internet connection. This advancement is much efficient than the custom book-form, yet is far from the best. This is because of some factors like battery consumption, internet charges, etc., that are evident with using search engines. Thus, the need for developing an android dictionary app is in excess. There are some offline dictionary apps that exist before which fulfill the basic requirement of providing meaning for a word or they’re just limited to few features. But they do not provide more features altogether in one app that would help user understand better. For example, a “Easy English Dictionary Offline Voice Word Meaning” app available in the google playstore does not contain features like antonyms, word sharing and it also doesn’t give the context in which the word can be used. In order to take care of all these issues, we created a platform where the user finds all advanced features of the dictionary in a single app. This helps them improve their language and expand their domain of vocabulary. This offline app is developed by using Java for back-end and XML for front-end development, SQLite Database for database creation, and with Android Studio as IDE. This paper gives an understanding about how our application is a package of many features available together, which a dictionary should essentially incorporate in order to provide the user with utmost understanding. In our app, we provide features like definitions, synonyms, antonyms, examples and pronunciations to the words using Text-To-Speech class. The main aspect which distinguishes and makes our app special from the other offline apps is its sharing feature. When a user browses through any document/site on his mobile and comes across a word that he/she is unfamiliar with, the word can be simply shared to the app from that document/site itself. The app then displays the word with its definition, synonyms, etc. This eliminates the extra effort and time spent in opening the app and then searching the word.

35. Interactive inverter for grid-tied solar power generation

Presently a lot of work is being carried out in held of distributed generation. Many distributed generation systems are being designed and connected to the electric grid. At a time when the predictable sources of energy such as coal, oil, etc are fast vanishing, a study of distributed generation systems and building of such systems using renewable energy sources becomes very main. When a DG source is being connected to the grid, there are many constraints to be met one of which is the harmonic content of the current being injected into the grid. The current being injected should have harmonic content compliant to standards such as IEEE This project deals mainly with building the hardware for a grid-interactive inverter. This means that a proper scheme should be present in the system to limit the harmonic current inoculation into grid. The hardware is customized to be used for a PV panels based distributed generation system. In this work, Liters are designed to eliminate only the higher-order harmonics. This is due to the reason that liters would be less bulky and cheap when they are designed to attenuate only the higher-order harmonics. In order to mitigate the lower order harmonics, an adaptive selective harmonic elimination technique (AHE) is used. The validity of the AHE technique is varied in hardware. Overall, the project work involves the building of the inverter hardware, the Liters, transformer and design and implementation of closed-loop control along with AHE scheme.

Several speech-recognition algorithms are currently in use in a variety of programs, from a smartphone voice dialer to a voice response tool that costs stock values based on spoken input. One substantial development is that the software of statistical approaches, one of that is that the hidden Markov model (HMM). A speech-reputation process is generally divided into taxonomies primarily based totally on whether or not it needs to cope with particular or nonspecific talkers (speaker-based vs. speaker-impartial) and whether or not absolutely remoted utterances or fluent speech are acceptable (remoted phrase vs. related phrase). Present-day generation can also additionally effortlessly achieve near-ideal accuracy in speaker-impartial remoted-digit reputation, with the handiest 2-three percentage digit-string mistakes while the digit collection is uttered in a certain associated style with the aid of using the regular speaker.

58. Menu-based Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment

The systems and networks run by an individual or an organization are prone to get exploited by hackers for personal gains or any other motive. The flaws or loopholes in the operating systems or operating procedures and practices may lead to a stage where once they are compromised; there is no going back beyond that point. This is a serious issue that must be rectified and safety measures must be inculcated in the operations. The systems and networks in use must be thoroughly checked for vulnerabilities to ensure protection. This is a required objective in every system and every organization. The project that we are working on is a menu-based vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tool that checks the selected system or network and tries to find the most common and most complex risks associated with the system or network. The tool is called EDITH, which stands for “Executable and Distinguished Interface to Hack”. This tool simplifies the process by allowing the authorized user to choose from the options provided. The simplicity of the tool is what makes it idiosyncratic in the field of penetration testing and risk analysis. The tool is built using advanced python modules that support kernel and terminal levels of access and operation rights. The tool provides a wide range of options to check vulnerabilities and perform penetration testing on the selected system or networks. The options are categorized into network-related tests and system-related tests. The tool is capable of performing penetration tests from a low-security system to a highly secured firewall built system. The tests performed by the tool are completely ethical and do not void any laws unless they are used for illegal purposes. This is a brief description of our project.

59. Genotypic, phenotypic, and heritability studies in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)

A total of 36 different genotypes maintained under Goldking Research Centre were evaluated in Kharif, 2019 for some variability parameters like GCV, PCV, Heritability, and Genetic advance as percent of the mean. The statistical analysis shows that the estimates of GCV and PCV along with heritability and genetic advance were found to be high for pod yield per plant, plant height number of aerial pegs per plant, biological yield per plant 100 pod weight, and harvest index which indicate that these quantitative characters are preponderantly governed by additive genes so there is a good scope of selection for further improvement in these traits and ultimately pod yield.

60. Automated air pollution monitoring and forecasting system using Machine Learning

Various Air Quality Monitoring systems have been recently developed and installed in some of the cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, etc. But the actual results do not satisfy enough. Several issues in the existing system were the number of gases detected were very few. There was a need for such a system that monitors more amounts of gases in less amount of time. Time was also an issue regarding the monitoring of the gases. Some gases consumed an enormous amount of time, so it became crucial to decrease them and make a more efficient system. The proposed system is automated air pollution monitoring and forecasting system using machine learning which uses an Arduino Mega, MQ gas sensors module for its development along with some other basic components like16x2LCD, Buzzer, Potentiometer. MQ135 gas sensor detects gases like NH3, NOx, alcohol, benzene, smoke, CO2, SO2, etc. which are the main reason for degrading air quality. Wi-Fi module is used to connect our system to the Cloud so that all the readings and the data can be transferred to the desired server for forecasting purposes. A trained model is expected to use the ARIMA algorithm for the best prediction purposes. This model is then applied to the upcoming data and forecasting is done. The various existing system was learned which are developed till date, it was found that the air quality numerical model such as WRF-Chem, community Multi-scale air quality model (CMAQ), CAMx, NAQPMS was used. The drawbacks in these models were found like, Source list was not updated in time for WRF-Chem, Detailed information about the source of the pollutants, and other variables are generally not known. After knowing all the facts from the study, this system is expected to use a Scikit machine learning tool for forecasting. The proposed model monitors the upcoming data in no time and if the value goes beyond the threshold value it activates the buzzer and the server is notified.

64. Full crowns overrated: save the tooth, salvage the tooth structure with aid of intraoral scanner- A case report

Dentistry has evolved in the recent era whether in the technology of digital impressions or conservative restoration of endodontically treated tooth. Intraoral scanners (IOS) are devices for capturing direct optical impressions in dentistry. Optical impressions reduce patient discomfort. IOS are time-efficient and simplify clinical procedures for the dentist, eliminating plaster models and allowing better communication with the dental technician and with patients. The images of the dentogingival tissues captured by imaging sensors are processed by the scanning software, which generates point clouds. These point clouds are then triangulated by the same software, creating a 3D surface model (mesh). The 3D surface models of the dentogingival tissues are the result of the optical impression and are the ‘virtual’ alternative to traditional plaster models. Porcelain veneers have long been a popular restorative option that have evolved into a well-accepted treatment that can be fabricated in various ways. With the availability of newer high-strength materials such as lithium disilicate and processing technologies like CAD/CAM and heat pressing, dental professionals are now able to produce highly esthetic, high-strength restorations that blend seamlessly with the natural dentition while also withstanding posterior occlusal forces. This has resulted in innovative methods of providing minimally invasive dentistry. So instead of full crowns lets try to save the tooth and salvage the tooth structure. The purpose of this article is to summarize the restorations that may compete the full crowns so that they are kept into the minds of dentists when a tooth is planned to receive cuspal coverage.

66. Reimagine workspace for better productivity during WFH

COVID-19 has brought a significant change in work culture, many skilled workers lost their jobs while those who could survive had to struggle inculcating cognitive & leadership skills which would make them eligible to stand still in the corporate world. Before COVID-19, workplace and rest place was different and each space was enjoyed to the fullest by the people. This segregation between the workplace and the habitable place was much needed but this pandemic coined these two places into one. This pandemic led corporate organizations to allow employees to work from home. The shift of work culture is seen during this pandemic. Social distancing and isolation are mainly observed which led employees to work remotely. Disturbances at home affected work productivity which ultimately resulted in depression and mental illness among the working-age group. Before covid-19 people had a social life, change of environment helped people stay active and have a healthy life. Sudden isolation leads people to suffer psychological disorders as a whole day is spent indoors. A habitable space where people reside plays a significant role in maintaining mental & physical well-being, which includes soothing color scheme, aesthetically appealing interiors, the amount of sunlight the comes in, etc. furthermore design of the workplace at home plays a vital role in provoking creativity and helps employees function effectively with higher productivity. This research paper aims to focus on designing a workplace at home for better productivity of an employee while emphasizing reimagining, developing, and coming up with solutions to cater to the depression and thus uplifting and boosting the creativity with the help of specific materials.

71. Determination of Dynamic PCU values at the signalized intersection for mixed traffic conditions

Traffic conditions in India and many of the developing countries differ from the western country mainly in the composition and lane discipline. Under such conditions, vehicles widely varying in their size, accelerating abilities, and performance capabilities are to share same lanes of the road, which is highly heterogeneous in nature. Especially at signalized intersections. Hence, Passenger Car Unit (PCU) values of several vehicles do not remain static. Recent research works show that the PCU of any type of vehicle can be different at different traffic composition and volume level which points towards the importance of the concept of dynamic PCU. Different methods are used for estimation of PCU by some researchers on signalised intersection under mixed traffic conditions. Objective of the present study is to estimate dynamic PCU values of different vehicle categories at signalised intersection under mixed traffic conditions by Area Occupancy Method. Effect of traffic characteristics on the dynamic PCU value is also analysed. With the use of estimated dynamic PCU by Area occupancy method, mathematical model is developed for estimation of dynamic PCU using regression technique. From the study it was observed that with the increase in vehicle composition dynamic PCU value also increased and the increase in lane width, dynamic PCU value of two wheelers decreased. The lane width and dynamic PCU values of two wheelers is found to have a negative correlation. Mathematical model was developed for the estimation of dynamic PCU of various categories of vehicles using regression by in cooperating the effect of traffic composition and lane width and cycle time.

73. Weed detection using Machine Learning

Agriculture is one of the world's oldest sources of human nourishment. To satisfy the strain of an ever-increasing population, agricultural output must be greatly enhanced. People employed natural techniques to enhance production within the past, like utilising garbage as a fertiliser within the fields, which increased output sufficiently to fulfil the population's needs. Following this epoch, the utilization of lethal chemicals like herbicides skyrocketed. As a result, we've got made extra money while also causing greater environmental damage. the most important goal of this research is to use image processing to detect and take away weeds.So, in this project, we've created a way to decrease herbicide consumption by only spraying them where weeds are present. Using image processing, we were able to locate weeds in the site photos and classify them based on their area and aspect ratio.

Sentiment analysis is the process of identifying and categorizing opinions expressed in the text, especially when we want to determine whether the attitude of the customer concerning the services provided is positive, negative ,or neutral. Performing Sentiment analysis manually is a humongous task as there are millions of users. Hence we will be implementing different classifiers using supervised ML algorithms. These Classifiers will be trained and compared, then the classifier with the highest accuracy will be used to predict the sentiment polarity. Later on, we will be performing thematic analysis on positive and negative reviews to determine themes representing various factors affecting the effectiveness of e- commerce apps both positively and negatively. In the end, we will be proposing how to tackle the negative issues that are hampering the services

79. Development of a home security Robot using Deep Learning and IoT

The major problem in every urban city is the lack of security to residential areas. The number of thefts, electricity and food wastage at homes in urban areas increase every year due to human error. As per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 2,44,119 cases of robbery, theft, and burglary took place in residential premises in 2019. Also, electricity consumption in Indian homes has tripled since 2010. In 2019, an urban Indian household consumed about 90 units (kWh) of electricity as a monthly average which is one-third of the monthly world average. To solve these issues, we have proposed an idea of a “Home Security Robot” for a smart city using AI. The Home Security Robot will help in eliminating the reliance on security guards and will effectively monitor everything in the house (if there are any gas leakage, fridge malfunctions, unnecessary electricity wastage, indoor air quality and any unknown movements inside the house). If the owner is under attack, he/she can shout out “HELP” or “SAVE ME "so that the robot can take in the voice command to automatically call the police. The navigation part is done by Arduino and Bluetooth RC Controller App. There are 2 parts (Face Detection & Recognition using Raspberry Pi and IoT system using BOLT module with sensors). The first part has three python programs used for facial detection and recognition using OpenCV with Haar Cascade Classifier and LBPH algorithm. The first program (Face Dataset) is used for collecting images of known users and storing it in a database using Haar Cascade Classifier. The second program (Face Training) is used to train the stored images using LBPH algorithm so the model can distinguish between the users whose faces are stored in database and then these trained images are stored in the trainer.yml file. The third program (Face Recognition) is used to read the trained images stored in the trainer.yml file and then uses Haar Cascade Classifier to recognize the detected face and identifies whether the face belongs to a user or an intruder. The IoT system with the help of BOLT module helps in checking the temperature in the room and checking if any unnecessary lights are on in the room. If the room temperature is outside the safe range specified or if any lights are on, owner will get an alert via SMS.

80. Social Cause Marketing (Pink Capitalism) and its impact on consumers’ brand preferences

As its name implies, cause-based marketing is the process of marketing a specific idea, cause, or goal, rather than a specific business, product, or service. These initiatives are often partnerships between a nonprofit organization – typically the driving force behind the” “messaging of the campaign itself – and either an ad agency or corporate partner, which typically handles the execution of the campaign. Although cause-based marketing campaigns can focus predominantly on PPC or social advertising, these campaigns can and often do incorporate” elements of guerilla marketing in their execution. Trying to grab people’s attention is no easy feat these days, and as such many organizations adopt more creative ways of getting their message out, as we’ll see later on. Many cause-based marketing campaigns are organic offshoots of grassroots marketing efforts, which also tend to focus on causes. This paper will discuss thoroughly cause-related marketing through the lenses of Pink Capitalism. It will also discuss how pink capitalism is not entirely an ethically incorrect concept and focus on the silver lining of the same, which would benefit both the NGO as well as the corporations.

84. City cleanliness using geo-tagged images with experimental results

During the process of smart city construction, city planners and managers always spend a lot of energy and money for cleaning street garbage due to the random appearances of street garbage. Consequently, visual street cleanliness assessment is particularly important. However, the existing assessment approaches have some clear disadvantages, such as the collection of street garbage information is not automated and street cleanliness information is not real-time. To address these disadvantages, this paper proposes a novel urban street cleanliness assessment approach using mobile edge computing and deep learning. First, the high resolution cameras installed on vehicles collect the street images. Mobile edge servers are used to store and extract street image information temporarily. Second, these processed street data is transmitted to the cloud data centre for analysis through city networks. At the same time, Faster Region-Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) is used to identify the street garbage categories and count the number of garbage. Finally, the results are incorporated into the street cleanliness calculation framework to ultimately visualize the street cleanliness levels, which provides convenience for city managers to arrange clean-up personnel effectively. Index Terms— Smart cities, street cleaning, garbage detection, deep learning, mobile edge computing.

85. Algorithmic Trading with Deep Learning

In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to predict trading signals like Strong Buy, Buy, Neutral, Strong Sell and Sell a total of 5 signals. The ANN outputs one of the trading signals based on the market data of cryptocurrencies. The ANN makes use of the candle-stick data along with additional data like Volume, Number of Trades, etc and technical indicators to predict the signals. The ANN is trained on multiple intervals of the market, i.e. 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and so on up to 3 days in the intervals. Along with the market data, the paper also makes use of the news articles to better predict the trading signals, this is only used when the ANN predicts the Buy or Sell, and by using the news articles those Buy and Sell signals are converted to Strong Buy and Strong Sell respectively. The ANN was trained on 3 years of data, and Google’s BERT [1] model was trained on almost 1000 news article’s titles on topics related to cryptocurrencies and the model outputs whether it’s a positive or negative title. The accuracy of the ANN models for all the markets is in the range of 85 - 90% and the same accuracy is observed with the BERT model which is trained on the news article’s title.

86. Reducing crude protein level in commercial layer chicken feed by balancing digestible amino acids

A total of 10 commercial layer farms in the stage of phase-I laying period (25 to 40 weeks) reared in raised platform caged house with uniform management wereselected for the experiment. In each farm, 4000 birds will be selected and divided into two treatment groups of 2000 birds each. The feed formulation with reduced crude protein level (15 per cent) compared to standard level of 17 per cent will be formulated by balancing the digestible amino acids (Lysine, methionine+cysteine, threonine, tryptophan, arginine, isoleucine and valine). Feed ingredients used in feed formulation were maize, cumbu, broken rice, soya bean meal, sun flower cake, deoiled ricebran, rapeseed meal, fish meal,etc. Based on the above study it could be concluded that crude protein reduction is one of the way to reduce feed cost in commercial layer chickens, but should be properly balanced with all the essential digestible amino acids rather than total amino acids basis. But the quality of feed ingredients, loss in body weight and egg weight is the area of concern.

88. Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on Air Pollution and Air Quality Index (AQI) in India

From the start of industrialization, air pollution in India and around the globe started increasing with new pollutants coming into existence. The extent of air pollution has also increased in the last few decades, very rapidly affecting human health and the earth's ecosystem badly. During pandemics like it happened in other countries, the same way, in India also government-imposed lockdown that resulted in the termination of all economic activities. The pandemic and imposed lockdown provided improved air quality as a gift to mankind. This duration also shows insight into the relationship between the economy and good air quality. We also get some insight into how to improve air quality without affecting the basic needs of society. This paper aims to examine the variation of the concentration of 5 main contaminants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO and Ozone) before and after the lockdown imposed in 5 major Indian cities. After reading this paper, we get an insight into to what extent we can reduce air pollution by imposing lockdown and how the socio-economic, geographical variance across cities decides the extent of reduction in air pollution. We also get direction for future management strategies and policies to regain economic strength with sustainable improvements. So at the moment, we have to focus on both air pollution management and economic recovery. This study provides insight into the air quality index across the geographical variation of India.

89. Face recognition based attendance monitoring system

This project is to construct a face recognition-based attendance monitoring system for various educational institutions for taking attendance of students accurately. Previously attendance was taken manually where the professor/ teacher used to record attendance of students in log registers. This process is time-consuming and hectic. The professor/teacher might miss marking the attendance for few students or an illegal third party might manipulate the log register. The accuracy and security were at stake always. Then there was a new attendance system using fingerprints. This system might be accurate but there is a chance of stealing fingerprints from the biometric device for malicious activities. In this project, we use the face which is the most important part of our body. The facial features of individuals are recognized and analyzed for taking attendance. In this project, we use one of the most popular programming languages Python, and its library called OpenCV which is used to capture live images and videos. The face images and details like registration number and name of the student will be saved in files and attendance notes can be seen in Excel Spreadsheet. The image detection and processing are done using the LBPH algorithm which is known for its simple yet efficient performance.

100. Phishing website detection using Machine Learning

Today internet or websites plays a major role in every person's life. Almost Every sector using the website services like the banking sector using some apps for payment, the passport sector is using for registration and renewal of passport, the government sector for application of PAN cards, adhar cards, etc. This makes human life simpler. But this provides an opportunity to make phishing websites. Phishing websites are the same as legitimate or real websites. The purpose of the phishers is to steal their personal information, account ID, Passwords from individuals and organizations. They even add some tricks by asking security questions like a pet name, city name to gain users' trust. Although legitimate and phishing looks like same there are some features that make difference between that two things. That features such as IP address, URL length, having @ symbol, double slash redirection, Prefix, and suffix, having subdomain, domain registration link, HTTPS tokens, Request URL, URL of anchor, disabling right-click, using a pop-up window, and some more. Already many approaches are proposed for detecting phishing websites machine learning is the most appropriate one. This is because there are some common features that can be identified by machine learning. In this paper, we used a random forest algorithm to detect phishing websites based on features that make difference between both of the websites.

102. Glycerol – An alternate energy source for livestock feeding

Glycerol, is being an attractive feed ingredient for cattle, is a by-product of a wide range of industrial applications. Glycerol has potential value in livestock feeding since it improves feed efficiency, metabolism, and can avoid ketosis. Research indicates that glycerol can be a suitable partial grain replacement in the diet of cows during the transition period and at early lactation. The impact on milk yield is not significant, but glycerol mostly decreases milk fat content. The inclusion of glycerol in the dairy ration has an effect on ruminal fermentation patterns. Glycerol is rapidly fermented in the rumen into propionate, and it is metabolized to glucose in the liver through the process of glycogenolysis, additionally, glycerol administration to ruminants can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this review is to highlight the potential benefits and drawbacks related to the use of glycerol in cattle. Glycerol, from biodiesel Industries, must be purified in order to make it a useful product for livestock feeding. The use of glycerol in ruminant nutrition can be justified for several reasons: (i) as a source of energy, (ii) as a glycogenic precursor, and (iii) it may have an effect on milk composition. The high energy value of glycerol provides the opportunity to use it as a partial substitute for grain in dairy rations. Supplementation of glycerol in dairy animals' diets is associated with increased propionate, butyrate, valerate, and isovalerate concentrations in the rumen. Glycerol can be used as 10%–15% of the dietary dry matter (DM) and is a well-established tool for treatment for ketosis in cows. Glycerol increases plasma glucose and may reduce non-esterified fatty acids and hydroxybutyrate levels. The dietary supplementation of glycerol does not have a direct effect on DM intake, milk yield, or milk composition. However, some researchers reported an increase in milk yield after glycerol supplementation associated with decreased milk fat concentration. It is also possible that the concentration in the milk of odd-chain fatty acids and cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid may increase after glycerol application.

107. Fetal birth weight estimation in high-risk pregnancies through Machine Learning Techniques

Low birth weight of the fetus is considered one of the most critical problems in pregnancy care, which will affect the health of the newborn and in more severe cases will lead to its death. This situation is the reason for the high infant mortality rate throughout the world. In terms of health, artificial intelligence technologies, especially those based on machine learning (ML), can early predict problems related to the health of the fetus throughout pregnancy (even at birth). Therefore, the project proposes an analysis of several ML techniques that can predict whether the fetus will lose weight at birth in its gestational age. The importance of early diagnosis of problems related to fetal development depends on the possibility of increasing the number of days of pregnancy through timely intervention. This intervention will help to improve the weight of the fetus at birth, thus reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality.

108. A study on Quality of Life in Indian adults – Outcomes and role of nutrition

Understanding factors influencing the Quality of Life (QoL) of people has been a subject of growing interest, as measurement of QoL includes subjective dimensions of general well-being of individuals. The present study is aimed at assessing the QoL as perceived by Indian adults and arriving at a cutoff for categorizing QoL. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a stratified sample of 2762 adults in 8 cities representing 4 geographical zones of India - North, South, East and West. WHOQoL-BREF was self-administered to measure QoL while a structured questionnaire and an app-based 24-hr diet recall were used to assess perceptions and practices about health and nutrition that affect QoL. The QoL scores were computed in accordance with WHO manual and cutoff value was arrived based on percentage mean score to categorize respondents as having poor and good QoL. Descriptive statistics were reported as mean, standard deviation, percentage for the scores and other variables, while a two-sample t-test was performed to compare the QoL scores for independent variables. The QoL percentage mean score of 68.5 for the sample population was obtained which was considered as a cutoff for categorizing QoL. It was observed that nearly half of the respondents (46.2%) had poor QoL. Men had a better QoL score than women while older adults had lower scores than younger adults (P<0.01). Being employed and higher socio-economic status positively impacted the QoL. From the 8 cities, Mumbai had the highest percentage of respondents with good QoL. Almost all respondents agreed that nutrition plays an important role in having good QoL, however, protein and micronutrient intake showed a huge gap. In conclusion, QoL assessment could be an important tool towards holistic approach to health and can assist individuals and healthcare professionals to take impactful steps towards improving QoL of the population.

112. The Pink City litter survey: Litter investigation of Kardhani Market Malviya Nagar, Jaipur

Nowadays, Litter is a worldwide problem. Every country expends a large amount of money to clean up litter. The USA expended almost 11 billion dollars annually. Litter is an environmental problem which not only responsible for air, water, and soil pollution but also produces harmful effects on humans, animals, plants, and the risk of fire hazards, endangering. Litter is big a problem also in India. Annual waste generation is almost 62 million tons in India, only 43 million tons collected by the different Govt. & private bodies. It is clear that almost 19-million-ton waste remains in the form of litter so our study focused on identifying the nature and source of litter and on solving this problem. We did a survey to identify nature, source, and public attitudes towards litter. We did 2 types of litter surveys in the Satkaar market, Jaipur (Rajasthan). In the first survey, we collected litter material from three streets of the Satkaar market then took it to the lab for analysis. Firstly we categorized litter into seven categories plastic, paper and cardboard, composite material, glass item, metallic items, food and vegetable waste, and other category waste (foam, rubber, cigarette butts, flower and garland, cloths, bird feather). we found that most littering items ids plastic (almost 40% of total % weight of litter ), average recyclable litter is 34.66 % and biodegradable litter is about 43%.in the second survey I made a set of 23 questions to know the attitude and behavior of public towards litter. We found in this survey that most people think that litter is a crime, both administration, and the public are responsible for litter when the educational level increased then the habit of littering is reduced.

In a safe and pseudo-anonymous manner, blockchain provides access to longitudinal, full, and adulterate aware medical records that are kept in fragmented systems. The goal of our suggested scheme is to first integrate blockchain technology for EHR and then to enable safe storage of electronic records for users of the framework by defining granular access controls. The following framework gives the EHR system the advantages of a blockchain-based solution that is extensible, secure, and integrated.

129. Relevance of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar in present day

Dr Ambedkar also accepts democracy as a way of life, emphasizing the superiority of the individual, he considers the transformation of power as a means. He used to say that the foundation of democracy is not solidified by giving some constitutional rights. In the concept of his democratic system, 'morality' and 'sociality' have been the two main values, whose relevance increases in the present times. In fact, today the tension in politics has increased so much that the values of political morality have disappeared. Every political party calls for political morality and socialism to make vote banks on its side, but they do not implement these principles after getting power.

132. Solar Energy for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

In today’s world, the demand for comfort has been growing at an exponential rate. The utilization of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems has increased, which results in higher costs and consumption of energy. It is one of the main constituents of Global Warming. For example, Indian market of air conditioners was of worth $4.3 billion in 2017and will be of $11 billion by 2023 with a mean growth of 17% per annum.[2] Consequently, India produced roughly 2.5 billion tonnes CO2 within the year 2018. As a result a substitute for conventional method of air conditioning is being searched. Use of solar energy in air conditioning and refrigeration can be a substitute. It help in reduction of the consumption, the demand, and therefore costs of energy, without decreasing the desired comfort. These systems help in air conditioning and may even be used for refrigeration purposes. The can easily be used in commercial and residential apartments, colleges, hospitals, hotels etc. In this paper we will discuss the functioning of these systems and future scope of solar power in air conditioning and refrigeration.

133. Forecasting of the cotton price using an econometric model

A commodity market is a place for investors to trade in commodities like precious metals, crude oil, natural gas, energy, and spices, among others. Currently, the Forward Markets Commission allows futures trading in India for around 120 commodities. Trading in commodities is great for investors seeking to diversify their portfolio, as these investments often help with inflation. The Indian commodity derivatives market has shown solid flexibility to the Covid-19 pandemic, recovering rapidly from the underlying stock following the nation-wide complete lockdown. This study examines the market fundamentals, contract specification and market and price behaviour is the supreme problem of commodity investors and trader. The present study spotlights the price behaviour/movement and market behaviour/volatile in Indian agricultural commodity market (MCX) using econometric model. The study aims at market fundamentals of the commodity which includes demand, supply, import and export and changes in contract specification. The study also aims to study the volatility and caused effect between futures price and spot price of commodity cotton from the period 2019 to 2020 daily data were collected from Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). This study also analysed the correlation and co-integration between the spot price and futures price of commodity cotton in Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). The study employed statistics tools such as descriptive statistics, unit root test (ADF test), correlation test, OLS regression test, co-integration test, granger causality test, GRACH Test and ARIMA. The study found that the existence of normality and absence of unit root in time series data, also risk was higher than the mean return of futures and spot price of commodity cotton. There was low positive correlation between futures price and spot price of commodity cotton. In co-integration between spot and future price of commodity cotton explains that there is a long run relationship and both the prices are interconnected. The GARCH test evidenced that low volatility secured both futures price and spot price of commodity cotton and absence of cause and effect during the study period. The investors have to consider the high volatility commodity futures price which make effective in trading and investments in the aspect of price discovery. The result replicates that each commodity traded or invested in exchange has different price effectiveness concept and the investors and trader should recognise the commodity to hedge price risk. The last step that is ARIMA examines that the best criteria to forecast the cotton future price is ARIMA(0,1)(0,0).

135. implementation and analysis of credit card fraud detection using a Machine Learning Technique

Due to rapid growth in the field of various cashless transactions or digital transactions, credit cards are widely used in almost every work and hence there are more chances of fraudulent transactions. Depending on the type of fraud faced by banks or credit card companies, various measures can be adopted and implemented. Here the credit card fraud detection is based on fraudulent transactions. Generally, credit card fraud activities can happen both offline and online. But in today’s world online fraud transaction activities are increasing day by day. So in order to find online fraud transactions, various methods have been proposed and implemented by various organizations. This project proposes a machine learning technique for credit card fraud detection. Machine learning is the currently used technique implemented in various sectors. It is prioritized due to its ongoing advancements making our lives easier. In the proposed system, we use Random Forest Algorithm (RFA) for finding the fraudulent transactions and the accuracy of the transactions. The main aim is to detect fraud while making a transaction and alert the user if his/her account was accessed by an intruder. Credit card fraud detection using Machine learning is done by using classification and regression techniques. We use the Random Forest algorithm which is a supervised learning algorithm to classify the fraud card transaction into fraud or genuine transactions. This algorithm uses decision trees for classifying the data set. After classifying the dataset a confusion matrix is obtained. The performance of the Random Forest Algorithm is evaluated based on the confusion matrix. The results obtained from the processing data set to give an accuracy of about 70%. The random forest has better efficiency and accuracy than any other machine learning algorithm. This model is implemented by Python and SQL programming languages.

140. Seed Vigor Testing in Cotton: A Review

Attaining seed and seedling vigor in cotton is a goal of both researchers and producers. By separating and defining components of seed and seedling vigor, progress can be achieved. Seed vigor should be distinguished from seed viability and defined in terms of low degree of seed deterioration. Being a connecting link between two generations of plants or crops, seed is a carrier of new technology or new improvements made by the breeders, seed vigour is an important parameter, needs to be assessed primarily to supplement germination and viability tests to gain insight into the performance of a cotton seed lot in the field or in storage. Seeds are prime factor for crop production, human nutrition, and food security. The key component of the performance of crop seeds is the complex trait of seed vigour. In Agriculture, the crop yield and resource use efficiency depend on successful plant establishment in the field, and it is the vigour of seeds that defines their ability to germinate and establish seedlings rapidly, uniformly, and robustly across diverse environmental conditions prevailing in region. Improving vigour to enhance the critical and yield-defining stage of crop establishment remains a primary objective of the agricultural industry. The knowledge of the regulation of seed germination has developed greatly in recent decades. However, the understanding of the basis of variation in vigour and therefore seed performance during the establishment of crops remains limited. Here we consider seed vigour at an eco-physiological, molecular, and biomechanical level. We discuss how some seed characteristics that serve as adaptive responses to the natural environment are not suitable for agriculture. Past domestication has provided incremental improvements, but further actively directed change is required to produce seeds with the characteristics required both now and in the future. In this paper, the focus is to discuss ways in which basic plant science could be applied to enhance seed performance in cotton production.

147. Remote administration of speed of an induction motor

Induction motors are widely used in many industries and domestic applications. They are used commonly in many open-loop control applications due to their cost, size, efficiency, less maintenance, simplicity and easy manufacture. In the past traditional speed control methods were used to control the speed of the DC motors, But DC motors have commutator and brushes which require more maintenance and are hazardous. So Induction motors are more preferred in these fields. Since most of the industries use Induction motors , controlling of it plays a major role. This project deals with controlling the speed of Induction Motor using Android phone remotely through Bluetooth Technology. We are using android application which uses Bluetooth to connect to the Bluetooth modem of the control circuit. Bluetooth modem is interfaced with the AVR Microcontroller. The Bluetooth slave receives the commands from the Android phone, then The Bluetooth module sends the signal to the Microcontroller. It decodes the signal and generates the pulse width signals which activates its circuit and gives the change in speed of induction motor with respect to the change in firing angle of TRAIC. This way speed can be easily varied and maintained as per the required values. We are not only controlling the speed of the induction motor, we can also detect the temperature and voltage of it which can be displayed on the android phone. Therefore, this project will be helpful in households, commercial use, industries etc

151. A study of Wireless Sensor Network security attacks and Intrusion Detection Techniques

Nowadays, remotely impromptu sensor systems have gained popularity in both commercial and military situations. In any case, security is a critical problem for IoT systems due to its distribution in an open and unprotected environment. Also, because the encryption component is still insufficient to support the sensor protection from malicious attacks, a framework for detecting interruptions should be given. While interruption counteraction is an effective and successful strategy against attacks, there may be some assaults for which no established avoidance technique exists. Therefore, apart from protecting the framework against known attacks, the interruption detection framework collects critical data about attack strategies and aids in developing an interruption counteraction framework.

157. Detection of macro based attacks in office documents using Machine Learning

With the rapid developments in internet, users share information through document files generated through online or offline office software. Due to implicit trust on the web and wide acceptance of these document files (such as PDF, DOC, Office Open XML), users share documents on the web by trusting third-party services which can be easily exploited by cybercriminals to inject malicious code (Malware) into the document files by various means of exploitations. These exploitations are undetectable and easily evaded on antivirus software which makes the problem of malware detection and classification even more complex. In recent years, the attacks that leverage office documents have gradually increased and thus harder to detect since malware authors use various ways to inject malicious code on to the office documents. They offer flexibility in document structure with numerous features for attackers to exploit. In this paper, a broad classification of macro based malicious document attack is provided along with a detailed description of the attack opportunities available using office documents. A hybrid malware analysis technique is proposed which thoroughly analyze the file for any macro attacks along with decision paradigms such as machine learning is used to detect and classify the malicious document present in Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, Power point.

158. College Kendra

The android app “College Kendra” is a package of unique features that a university/college need in their college life. There are 8 features in this android app namely Online Attendance, E-Passbook, Notice Board, Calculator, Anonymous Feedback, Automatic Silent Mode and Distress Alert. These might seem pretty common but they aren’t. This paper describes why in the coming sections. The main feature in this app, the Online attendance is made to save professor’s time on trivial attendance task. The amount of average time saved on daily basis will be 5 minutes. This is the time which will be wasted on taking attendance manually, which accounts over 10 hours per semester and 20 hours per year. Also, through this app we can 100% ensure that the student is really present in the class, thus eliminating proxies. What makes it completely efficient is the One-Time-Password based authentication (OTP). This particular Attendance feature totally eliminates the paper work too. With effective usage, any institute can apply this feature for conducting quick attendance and get better results in less time. The calculator feature I developed isn’t any typical or regular calculator that everyone uses. It doesn’t have the same usual operations. As graduation students use this, it’ll have prime and big-league operations such as bit convertor. The other features help the students with college tasks and non-academic problems. The E-Passbook, Notice Board and Chat Room features included in the app will help with classroom tasks and work as communication media. The Anonymous feedback feature helps to report any issue in the classroom. The Automatic Silent Mode Turner will set the phone in the silent mode automatically when you are in the class. The Distress Alert option would help students to alert others during emergency or unusual situations with just a single click. This paper gives a complete understanding about all the features of our app, which is a complete means of help for a university/college.

159. Importance of Feature Selection in Model Accuracy

As a dimensionality reduction strategy, feature selection attempts to select small set of most important features from primary features by eliminating obsolete, data-redundant and non-relevant noisy features. This process of choosing a set of the original variables such that a model based on data containing only these features has the simplest output is known as feature selection. Feature Selection eliminates over-fitting, increases model efficiency by removing redundant functions, and has the added benefit of maintaining the primary feature representation, resulting in improved accuracy. Good learning efficiency, results into higher machine learning model accuracy, lower cost of computation, and efficient model accuracy, is typically the product of feature selection. Recently, researchers in the area of computer vision, deep Learning, data mining, and other fields have shown that several feature selection algorithms resulted in the efficiency in their work through computational theory and research. This paper aims to examine the importance of feature selection in model accuracy. Feature selection is critical for various reasons, which include simplicity, performance, computational efficiency, and accuracy. It is often used in both supervised and unsupervised learning scenarios. These strategies can help boosting the productivity of various machine learning algorithms, as well as coaching. Feature selection decreases learning time and increases data consistency and comprehension.

160. Clustering of JSON document using Derived X-Path Method

In this modern era where data creation is in abundance, handling that data is the biggest question researchers have been trying to solve for the past couple of decades. The data in any form needs to be stored in such a way that the retrieval and manipulation of the data are easier and simpler. In this paper, we look at how huge datasets in JSON format are being analyzed and made into clusters for an easier understanding of the documents that we are handling. This process is done by the first pattern analyzing the documents followed by clustering those documents one by one based on similarity of the attributes (arrays and sub-documents included). The clusters are then evaluated on an algorithm designed specifically for this purpose. To conclude, this paper lays out the model on how to cluster huge JSON documents with varying levels and types.

161. Application of AI in drug discovery

Target-driven drug discovery is a process in which a known target is used to search for small molecules that interfere with it or influence its role in cells. These methods function well for easily druggable targets with a well-defined structure and well-understood interactions within the cell. However, due to the complexity of cellular interactions and a lack of understanding of intricate cellular pathways, these methods are severely limited. By detecting novel associations and inferring the functional significance of various components of a cellular pathway, AI will conquer these obstacles. It extracts useful knowledge from a broad dataset using complex algorithms and machine learning techniques. QSAR modeling based on structure, de-novo drug design, automated synthesis planning is just a few of the cutting-edge applications available. Screening of the compounds along with optimizing the lead compound, goal validation and selection, nonclinical research and studies, and clinical drug trials are all places where AI is used extensively.

166. Lantana camara: Conversion from soil destructor to constructive approach with green nanoparticles

Lantana camara is considered to be a voracious and poisonous weed, as it spreads rapidly and chocks the native vegetation, spoils animal habitats, biodiversity, leads to shortage of fodder for herbivores, and exerts toxic effects when ingested by livestock, hence L. camara is regularly eradicated by the villagers.The present study was carried out to assses the Hazardous effect of Lantana camara on soil microflora. It is clear from results that Lantana camara possess adverse effect on soil microflora & thereby decreases fertility of nearby soil. The bare land development is final cause of growth of Lantana camara plant on waste / agriculture land . As we know presence of microbial population and their activity in soil is directly proportional to the fertility of soil. In cities & villages Lantana camara is growing in uncontrolled way on waste land and so that it also affect agriculture land via seed migration , resultate into the decrease in soil fertility of agriculture land. On the basis of our study we can suggest that Lantana camara plant growth should be controlled in village,cities & in agriculture land. However, present study advocates its uses by pharmaceutical industries for preparing plant-based antimicrobials drugs in addition to fungal nanoparticles, rather than to throw the eradicated plants as garbage.

182. Breast Cancer Prediction using Machine Learning model

Day by day the number of cancer cases around the world is increasing and it has become a common health issue. One of the most commonly seen cancer is Breast cancer. It has become one of the leading causes of death. in women Breast cancer can be mainly seen in women, but it can be seen in men too. There is a belief that men cannot get breast cancer, but it is not true. Cancer can be treated only if it is detected in the initial stages, if not then it will spread to various parts of the body and its effect is irreversible and it will cause a threat to life. But most of the time it is difficult to detect cancer and also sometimes people ignore the symptoms. In this matter, artificial intelligence can be of great help. Here we have collected a set and then we have built a prediction model to detect stroke based on the different algorithms that are available on machine learning.

183. Imbalanced data handling using Machine Learning

Machine learning algorithm applications still control Internet trade with their seemingly endless options for customization. Great fast data is continuously passed through socially important forecasts to improve online shopping. In the absence of analytical instruments to manage homogeneous data sets and outlines, unforeseen occurrences of data known as imbalanced data are unfortunately still overlooked. Rare cases of substance use are therefore still ignored, causing costly losses or even tragic circumstances. A number of methods have been successfully implemented to meet this challenge over the past 10 years. In many cases, however, there are significant disadvantages due to the non-uniformity of the relevant data when used for diverse application domains.

184. Design of wheel rim by using design of experiments

There are many failures that occurred such as Defects occurred during manufacturing, Initiation of Crack, over-tightening of bolts, and Corrosion. Some of the people have used FEM methods in their Research. They all have worked only on the negative offset and zero offset wheel rims. In this paper, we are focusing more on the positive offset wheel rim as they consume less material as compared to negative offset and positive offset wheel rims. In this paper, we know the natural frequency and deformation of the original rim and we are going to design more than 2-3 designs for the wheel rim. Using those designs and analysis types such as Static, Modal, and mainly the Design of experiments we are going to produce the alternate design for the wheel rim which will be more sustainable and lesser in cost.

185. Soil quality monitoring, automated irrigation system using machine learning and Blynk

India Ranks the second country in the world in farm output of 64% of cultivated land which depends on monsoons. Irrigation accounts for Fifty-five to seventy-five percent of water usage In the World. Also, nearly sixty percent of this water while irrigation is wasted. So now we have to conserve the water by making use of soil moisture sensors resulting in smart water management Another is an issue is people always focus on the crop yield whereas before the crop yield the other process such as soil quality and soil fertility, which crop to be grown and what fertilizers needed plays a very important role in the yield of the crop. So in our project, we have focused on these factors such as irrigation, prediction for fertilizer, and which crop to be grown. This project takes real-time data from the deployed sensors such as temperature, moister, NPK and ph values into account and predicts the output in the IoT machine learning environment. The system implemented will be introduced to the semi-supervised learning model where we will be applying algorithms such as KNN and random forest and SVM to predict fertility and whereas for the crop along with this we have considered other factors such as season and place.

186. Online interview based on facial expression

Facial expressions of humans carry more information visually than they do verbally. Human-machine interaction is a crucial part of facial expression recognition. The automated facial expression reputation system can be used for many purposes, including detection of intellectual issues and human behavior information. It is still difficult to recognize facial expressions using computers with high recognition charges. The most well-known techniques used in automatic FER systems are based on look and geometry. Normally, facial expression recognition works in four stages, which include preprocessing, face identification, Feature extraction, and Classification. We also used feature extraction and expression classification to identify the seven key human emotions.

189. Advanced facial recognition attendance and behavioral feedback system

Manually maintaining an attendance system can be tedious and time-consuming. A smart, automated way to manage attendance can be created using biometrics. Facial recognition is just one example. The problems of proxies and fake attendance can be solved with this system. This system also helps overcome time wasted in calling attendance the traditional way. The previous attendance system that relied on face recognition was flawed. Face occlusion meant that some faces went unnoticed. Therefore, our system helps overcome these issues, makes the system more reliable and useful with various techniques like People Counter and Behaviour Analysis. The detection and recognition of faces are the two most important processes in this system. Following that, crosschecking the detected faces against the database of student's faces can be done. This smart system will allow students to keep track of their attendance and records. It also helps institutions get feedback about a class and helps save time on surveys and questionnaires.

195. YOUCHAT: An End-to-End Secure Chat Application

A data security prototype needs to be developed through secret messages to disguise messages sent in the desktop chat application youChat. We propose a model to simulate the plaintext information first encrypted by a cryptographic system to replace the plaintext information with ciphertext. The plaintext or plaintext entered into the desktop system becomes ciphertext; the receiver can use a key similar to the sender to read the message. The weakness of this proposal is that the random message system is not directly placed in the chat application; therefore, a message is still needed to terminate the process from the password system to the YouChat application. The advantage of using this model is that the sent message will not be easily re-encrypted by hackers, and it can be used in the computing part of the client.

197. A systematic study of building information modeling and its associated concepts.

Construction projects involve the integration of various factors. The complex process and several aspects associated with building construction increase the demand for proper management. Building Information Modelling (BIM), comes as an aid and helps to control the technical and non-technical elements involved in the building construction process. It helps to design the features of the building, plan energy-effective mechanisms, making the building resilient to all sorts of natural disasters. Considering the efficiency of BIM, civil engineers started using this at the pre-construction, designing, planning stages and in most cases, it is used to control the entire life cycle of the project. BIM is used to design the entire process for the large-scale process while in the case of small-scale projects, it is only used to design a single or a couple of components. This study analyzes the research aspects related to BIM during 2010 -2021 and consolidates the broad research field under four categories to bet better insights.

198. Building information modeling and data generation

In the industry of construction, projects are increasing more day by day and are also become complex in the methods of construction technologies which are considered as rapidly developing. The construction projects generated several different kinds of data. Particularly, many input resources are required by the construction phase and it generated a multiple set of data. When so many Information Technology techniques are established for the management of information at the phase of construction, it measured for creating the databases for such data and for linking the various kinds of data jointly are still inadequate. This research aims for suggesting the database system about construction data depend upon the technology of BIM for enabling management of data site generated at the phase of construction. This research analyzed the data generated at the site of construction and then the system of categorization to structure the generated data with a model of the database for structured information storing. By these efforts, confirmations are done that this system of the database is utilized for the accumulation and construction data. It is supposed that, later on, continuous accumulation and construction management data will be allowed for the accumulation of corporate-level knowledge which opposes the accumulation of individual level.

200. Coalitions politics in India: Challenges and its impacts on society

In comparison to other countries, India is pigeonholed by more ethnic and religious groups. Many thinkers regard India as a fascinating place where people of all communities and religions coexist together. The Indian population is polygenetic, with a fascinating mix of ethnicities and civilizations. There are eight "main" faiths, 15 languages spoken in diverse dialects, and a large number of tribes and sects, in addition to multiple castes. How does the coalition government affect the responsiveness of coalition parties to voters? We want to learn more about the relationship between political parties' participation in multiparty governments in this essay as well as their voter receptivity We propose that the divisiveness of policy problems inside the cabinet, as well as ministerial responsibility for policies, influence the amount to which coalition parties respond to voters' policy priorities. To test our hypotheses, we combine data from the Comparative Manifestos Project on issue attention of 55 coalition parties with data on government composition and voter policy priorities from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems and various election studies from 1972 to 2011 in 45 elections across 16 European countries. Any party can win a majority in the lower house; if they do not, political parties create coalitions in order to secure a majority in the lower house and form a government. The nature, problems, and prospects of coalition governments in the Indian political process will be examined in this research paper. The study of the multi-party system, the emergence of regionalism, and its impact on the pattern of Centre-State interactions are important. Furthermore, because the national government was led by a coalition or minority administration for three decades, from 1989 to 2014, there was no national consensus on a parliamentary majority. Congress ruled from 1952 to 1977 and 1980 to 1989.

201. Study of seismic response between fixed and isolated bases in RC structure having plan irregularity

The base isolation technique is one of the most widely used earthquake-resistant methods in designing structures. In this study, a G+15 RC structure is considered and modeled for the fixed base and isolated bases i.e., Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) and High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB) using Etabs v19.1.0. The models are then analyzed and the seismic response of the structure is obtained by using equivalent static method and response spectrum method. The results, thus, obtained are compared and graphs of story displacement, story drift, storey shear, and storey acceleration are plotted for the fixed base and isolated bases. From this study, it is evident from the analysis that, the use of base isolation systems helps the structure from being majorly damaged, especially in higher seismic zones.

205. Study on dimensional stones available in Southern Asia with specific reference to granite waste

Dimensional stones are used primarily in buildings and construction industry. Almost all the buildings exhibit stones that are shaped, cut or polished for the walls, floors, columns and steps. There are a large number of dimensional stones available in southern Asia such as sandstone, slate, marble, granite, gneiss, etc. which produces huge amount of waste in their manufacturing, cutting and polishing. This waste is dumped in the fields openly and it causes major environmental problems such as land infertility, loss of land infiltration, air pollution, problem in breathing, etc. India has large reserves of granite and huge amount of waste is produced that’s why we have worked on granite specifically. Granite is a coarse grained rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali, feldspar and plagioclase. Green granite is hard enough to resist abrasion, strong enough to bear significant weight, inert enough to resist weathering and it accepts a brilliant polish. Granite is an igneous volcanic rock having good compressive strength and it has always been used in the concrete as a replacement for fine aggregate. But in this research, we have replaced the granite with the cementitious material that is, the cement. For this, we have replaced the granite with cement by 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Detailed study has been done to investigate the fresh, mechanical and physical properties of granite waste powder, the compatibility of use of granite waste powder in concrete. Analysis of the fresh, mechanical and physical properties of concrete mixes designed with different mix proportioning quantities with the use of granite waste powder as a cementitious material.

206. A lightweight Remote user Authentication Scheme for IoT communication using Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a new era of communication technology for performing information exchange. With the immense increment of usage of smart devices, IOT services become more accessible. To perform secure transmission of data between IOT network and remote user, mutual authentication, and session key negotiation play a key role. User authentication is becoming crucial in accelerating the environment of internet of things (IOT).It is mostly used in several applications in management of surveillance, healthcare, security etc. In this project, the proposed model is based on ECC-based three-factor remote user authentication scheme that runs in the smart device and preserves privacy, and data confidentiality while communicating with the user.This model establishes a secure session between the user node and IOT node.Here three-factor authentication is performed between the remote user and the gateway as well as between the gateway and sensor node. ECC is a public key encryption technique based on an elliptic curve theory, in this model ECC is used to generate public key and private key at user, gateway and smart device and it is also conjunction with public key encryption techniques like ECDSA algorithm used to perform mutual authentication through digital signatures, ECDH used to create faster, smaller and more efficient symmetric keys in order to provide secure session environment. Finally, the computation and communication overheads of the proposed scheme are reduced to maximum extent to confirm that the proposed scheme is lightweight and secure. We prove the security strength of our proposed system using formal security analysis tool called AVISPA simulation tool. On implementing this tool, it determines that the proposed model is robust with holding various security threats like all active, passive attacks and then confirms its security in the presence of an intruder. It is found that our model holds all the security functionalities. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed scheme is secure against relevant existing security attacks and provides security.

207. BIM applications in risk management

Risk Management at the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) manufacture is a global problem. The inability to overseen hazards isn't only lead to tasks while gathering project objectives additionally arranging the land-use impacts and further planning the metropolitan spatial plan later on for the urban area development. Due to quick advancement and the BIM-related computerized advances and BIM (Building Information Modelling) selection, and then the hazard management innovation utilization becomes a develop and examination of prompting pattern of interest to an intensive review of the development. This paper provided the overview of conventional risk management, with a complete and broad survey of distributed writing concerning the most recent endeavors of overseeing hazard utilizing innovations, like BIM, programmed rule checking, information-based frameworks, proactive and receptive IT (data innovation)- based security frameworks. The discoveries show that BIM was not only just be used to help the venture advancement measure as a planned risk management apparatus, however, performing further risk analysis instruments based on BIM was permitted.

216. Investigation of ferrocement composite beam

Ferrocement is a thin, versatile construction material, with several unique properties and is suitable for a wide range of applications in Civil Engineering. Generally, concrete structures are designed for static loads but sometimes dynamic loads like blasts, etc. Prefabricated elements are used in the construction industry as an alternative system to overcome the formwork problems in addition to getting better quality control. The prefabricated elements made of reinforced concrete are extremely heavy and difficult to transport, placing in position, and construct. Because of its good structural performance and low-cost ferrocement is used in the construction industry. Ferrocement is suitable for the construction of roofing/floor elements, precast units, manhole covers, and the construction of domes, vaults, grid surfaces, and folded plates. So finding the flexural behavior of ferrocement is necessary. Therefore, the flexural strength is determined by varying the meshes in the U-section and varying the thickness of the beam. An experimental and finite element analysis on flexural behavior of ferrocement U-shape channel section reinforced with wire mesh with varying number of wire mesh layers is presented. A finite element analysis of the U-shape ferrocement channel was carried out.

218. Tamper Detection of Social Media Images using CNN

Images are often manipulated with the intent and purpose of benefiting one party. images are often seen as evidence of a fact or reality, therefore, fake news or any form of publication that uses images that have been manipulated in such a way has the greater capability and potential to mislead. The web permits clients to process any type of digital media within seconds all over the globe. With expanding utilization of digital multimedia contents like pictures and video, the techniques for detecting the digital image forgery have also increased parallelly. people tamper with images to make the image look more pleasant for appearance but it is susceptible if one changed someone’s face within the image and misuses it. Hence this demands automatic tools for identifying the difference between authentic and tampered images. To detect such image falsification, a large amount of image data is required, and a model can process each pixel in the image. In addition, efficiency and flexibility in data training are also needed to support its use in everyday life. The concept of big data and deep learning is the perfect solution to this problem. Therefore, with an Error Level Analysis (ELA), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

219. Seismic activity of overhead storage tank by fem analysis

The overhead water tank consists of a tank supported by a scaffolding system composed of columns, braces, and foundations. Overhead water storage tanks have generally performed well in seismic zones. Even so, a large number of tank collapses have been discovered during earthquakes from, as early as the San Francisco earthquake (1906) to the Bhuj earthquake (2001). The observed damage in recent earthquakes shows that it is necessary to choose new methods for transformation while designing the structures. In many earthquake-prone countries, water tanks are continuously being retrofitted or build with control devices to decrease caused stresses, displacements, and base shear during seismic activity. A good perceptive of the seismic behavior of these important structures is necessary in order to meet up safety objectives while containing construction and maintenance. In this paper, we studied circular and rectangular overhead water tanks with different water levels. The static and dynamic analyses of time history were performed on the tanks. The different cases depending on water levels as 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% filled were studied. In this project base shear variation, time period for different mode shapes, time history for different earthquakes were calculated by using SAP2000.

221. Optimization of Sinter FeO at Sinter Plant, Tata Steel Kalinga Nagar

The analysis presented herein shows that the impact of sinter FeO on BF fuel rate is more significant at higher productivity levels (greater driving rates) than sinter RDI. Since typical levers to control sinter RDI are not available (gangue content, etc.) at Tata Steel Kalinganagar (TSK) due to the significant proportion of sinter in the BF burden, controlling sinter RDI at present in TSK requires higher heat input during sintering, which, generally leads to higher sinter FeO. From the data analysis, the suggested band of operation for sinter FeO is 10.4 – 10.8%. In this band of sinter FeO, the RI value can be maintained at 73.5-75.5% with RDI ~ 28-32%. Considering the narrower band of sinter FeO that is preferable for blast furnace operation, there is a scope to reduce carbon rate by 3- 4 kg/t GSn (tonne of Gross Sinter) from its present level of operation (62 kg/t GSn to 58 kg/t GSn average) at the sinter plant.

223. Real driving emissions strategies in heavy-duty vehicles

Bharat Stage 6 Emission Norms will require Real Driving Emissions as an additional type approval requirement from April 2023 in India. There is a significant requirement for reduction in exhaust gas emissions from Bharat stage 4 to Bharat stage 6. Several changes in engine constructions, tuning of the engine, valve, and ignition timing need to be adjusted. Moreover, after treatment device such as catalytic converter, selective catalytic reduction, Diesel particulate filter, exhaust gas recirculation needs to be adopted to meet these norms. Real Driving Emissions takes into account the road profile, the ambient conditions, traffic situations, drivers' behavior, and their influence on emission values. This new test requires equipment called Portable Emission Measurement system which comprises of exhaust flow meter, exhaust gas analyzer, global positioning system, ambient temperature, and ambient pressure sensor, OBD data acquisition device, and connection with vehicle ECU. The overall trip duration shall be between 90-120 minutes which consists of urban, rural, and highway driving. Thus accurate planning of route is required to reduce test failure risk and consequently experimental cost. When the driving conditions like ambient temperature and altitude are changed in order to check for different and extended conditions then there is a change in test results which are called extended test results. In recent studies, it was found that NOx emission was relatively higher compared to the expected result in urban conditions. This is due to constant low speed, deceleration, and acceleration. Thus conformity factor for NOx emissions varies from one emission regulation to another. The aim of this paper is to present the basics of Real driving conditions.

225. Antibacterial activity of filter material based on garnet and silver vein graphite composite

Disinfection of microbially contaminated water is an important part of water purification, aiming to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms in water. Silver nanoparticles have attracted tremendous interest for water disinfection because of their antibacterial efficiency. This study focuses on the use of garnet sand coated with silver-graphite composite in deactivating waterborne microbes. Graphite was purified by acid leaching, followed by surface modification with conc. HNO3. The silver-graphite composite material (SVG) was synthesized using AgNO3 as a precursor and trisodium citrate as a reducing agent. SVG was coated around garnet sand with the assistance of three types of clays namely montmorillonite, red clay, and kaolinite. Garnet sand was directly coated with silver nanoparticles to compare the durability and antibacterial efficiency. Garnet sand coated with SVG using red clay (75%) and montmorillonite (75%) showed a higher percentage coating than that used with kaolinite (25%). The antibacterial activity of coated garnet was tested using Escherichia coli. The results revealed that all coated garnet sand samples were able to decrease the concentration of E. coli from water, and no effect was observed from raw garnet sand. The antibacterial efficiencies were (13-70%), (15–57%), (38-67%) for kaolinite, red clay, and montmorillonite coated garnet sand, respectively. The garnet sand coated with silver nanoparticles showed the highest efficiency (96-100%) with the lowest percentage of coating. According to the results obtained, garnet sand coated with SVG using montmorillonite showed the highest antibacterial activity and the highest percentage of the coating. Therefore, this study, suggests that the filter system with the garnet sand coated with SVG using clays can be used as a potentially cost-effective alternative filtration medium for the disinfection of water.

226. Customer segmentation and prediction analytics in ERP for jewelry domain

Customers are the link to a business's success. Any organization must focus on a huge number of customers, for this customer satisfaction and loyalty should be incorporated along with the long-term goals of the organization. As the backbone for all marketing activities, customer analytics comprises techniques like predictive modeling, data visualization, information management, and segmentation. Customer analytics is becoming critical. Customers have access to information anywhere, any time – where to buy, what to shop for, what proportion to pay, etc. The deeper the understanding of customers' buying habits and lifestyle preferences, the more accurate your predictions of future buying behaviors are going to be – and therefore the more successful you'll be at delivering relevant offers that attract rather than alienate customers. Generally, organizations spend a lot of money to acquire new customers but they do not realize that the majority of the sales and profits come from their existing customers. In this thesis, the existing customers are analyzed and given a customer lifetime score, and based on this score, the customers are nurtured by the sales team to increase the profits. In order to maximize sales and conversions, customer segmentation and product recommendation engine is used effectively. Customer segmentation is the process of dividing the customers into many groups that supported common characteristics so companies can market to every group effectively and appropriately. Segmentation is performed using k means clustering. Segmentation allows marketers to raised tailor their marketing efforts to varied audience subsets. It is important to predict the customer segment for any new customer which can be done using supervised classification algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, K Nearest Neighbour, and Support Vector Classifier.

236. Fast fashion – Consumer perception and buying practices

The fast fashion industry has changed the way we consume fashion today. The garment industry has continued to neglect the ongoing environmental crisis. Fast fashion focuses on the production of cheap clothing, while completely disregarding its impact on the environment and the labor involved. The concept of green marketing as well as greenwashing play a huge role in understanding how brands portray themselves as “sustainable”, to cater to consumers that value ethical consumption. This research analyzes the primary reason fast fashion is appealing to consumers, their perception and buying practices, through interviews and surveys. The descriptive research elaborates on its impact on the supply chain and the concept of greenwashing. The results suggest that the respondents are reluctant to switch to sustainable alternatives since fast fashion helps them keep up with the latest trends at an affordable price.

240. PV-Based MPPT for standalone DC Micro Grids using Fuzzy Logic

Due to the large variations in production and demand, stand-alone green energy management systems are becoming more important for power sharing and voltage regulation tasks. Traditionally used power management methods use maximum energy factor monitoring (MPPT) algorithms and depend on batteries in the event of a power surge or shortage. However, in order to maintain a constant current-constant voltage (IU) charging regime and extend the life of batteries, energy management methods must be more adaptable with regard to power curtailment. The article offers a technique for battery management of a hybrid solar photovoltaic and wind energy device for stand-alone applications. Due to the non-linear nature of battery charging, which is time-varying with a large time delay, it is challenging to obtain the optimum energy management performance using conventional control methods. The article analyses a fuzzy manipulates method for battery charging and discharging in a renewable energy production system. To extend the battery's life, fuzzy control maintains the appropriate level of charge (SOC). A fuzzy logic-based controller is suggested for use in manipulating the battery state of charge of the intended hybrid system, and its performance is validated in contrast to a conventional PI controller.

250. A speculation technique for the stock market using time series

Using ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average) which is a model, this research study presents a method for anticipating stock market values. To begin, historical stock price data is gathered and pre-processed. Pre-processing is a subcategory of Data Mining in which raw original data is processed into a specified format so that the model can use it. Pre-processing is done to fill in the missing values and arrange the data based on the qualities required for developing the prediction model because the raw data to be processed is partly partial or inconsistent with certain errors and missing values. After the data has been filtered and classified, it is standardized by transforming it into a common format that can be used to train the prediction model. The obtained data is then divided into two data - training and testing data, with the majority of the data being used to train the model. And using the variables linked with the stock price, the testing data is fed to the ARIMA model to predict the corresponding stock price on a particular date. The results are used to determine the model's accuracy.

251. Forensic podiatry evidence and admissibility in court

Daubert standard is a set of criteria used to determine whether expert testimony is admissibility in Court. Under the Daubert standard, the trial judge serves a role as the “gatekeeper” who determines whether expert testimony is considered reputable and relevant. Similarly, the judge employs a Dubert test to verify whether the testimony of the expert is based on scientifically valid reasoning and whether it has been properly applied to the facts of the issue [1][2]. The procedure of scientific examination that fails to comply with the Daubert standard may result in the rejection of any expert testimony in the court. In the matter of footwear impression evidence examination, the evidence of footwear impression identification was first accepted in court in 1786 in the Richardson case at Kirkcudbright in Scotland [3]. Footwear impression evidence has been accepted in the US Court since the 1930s. The techniques and methods used in footwear evidence examination are widely accepted in several forensic science communities and the ACE-V methods have been described in numerous forensic journals, books, and seminars around the world. Evidence of footwear impression is regularly accepted in courts in the United States, Canada, and Europe as well as other many countries in the world but so far several Indian courts have ruled that the footprint and footwear impression evidence is a “rudimentary science” and they cannot be safely relied upon.

262. A novel approach to acquiring communication through ‘LSRW’ skills

Language learning and communication are skill-building activities, which can be developed and acquired by doing…doing…doing a lot of practice. If we talk about language learning and communication, everyone should remember about the four key skills – Listening [L], Speaking [S], Reading [R] and Writing [W]. Without the acquisition of these major skills, it is impossible for anyone to be competent enough to converse in English with others.

263. Progressive collapse analysis of steel frame structure in different earthquake zones

The progressive collapse of structures is initiated by the loss of one or more load-carrying members. As a result, the structure will seek alternate load paths to transfer the load to structural elements, which may or may not have been designed to resist the additional loads. Failure of overloaded structural elements will cause a further redistribution of loads, a process that may continue until stable equilibrium is reached. Equilibrium may be reached when a substantial part of the structure has already collapsed. The resulting overall damage may be disproportionate to the damage in the local region near the lost member. Loss of primary members and the ensuing progressive collapse are dynamic nonlinear processes.

266. Emotion-based media player

Currently, people will overall dynamically have more pressing factors since of the awful economy, high regular expenses, etc Paying thoughtfulness regarding tune is a key development that assists with diminishing pressing factors. Regardless, it may be silly if the music doesn't actually gauge up for the current sensation of the crowd. Additionally, there is no music player which can pick tunes subject to the customer's feelings. To deal with this issue, this endeavor proposes an inclination-based music player, which can suggest songs reliant upon the customer's sentiments; hopeless, happy, fair-minded, and irate. The application gets a facial picture from a web camera. It then uses the request methodology to recognize the customer's inclination. Then, the application returns tunes that have a comparative perspective as the customer's inclination. The test outcomes show that the proposed approach can precisely mastermind the happy inclination considering the way that the beat extent of this inclination is wide.

267. Analysis on cost-effective cloud server provisioning for the predictable performance of big data analytics

Because of server over-supply, cloud data centers are underused. Cloud providers are offering consumers the option of run king workloads like BID analysis of under-used resources as cheap yet revokable transition servers to increase their use of the data center (e.g., EC2 spot instances, GCE preemptible instances). Although at very low pricing, large data analysis can drastically impact work performance on unreliable cloud transient servers due to instance revocations. This study offers a cost-effective transient server delivery mechanism, iSpot, to address this issue by focusing on Spark as a model of the large-format data analysis system (DAG)-style Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). First of all, a precise long-term short-term memory (LSTM) pricing prediction approach detects the stable cloud transient servers during the workflow execution. By employing automated work step profiling, Spark's DAG data acquisitions may create the iSpot Supply Strategy to ensure task performance on steady transient servers and develop an analytical model and provide Spark with a lightweight crucial data control mechanism. Extensive EC2- and GCE-instance prototype studies reveal that while saving workplace costs up to 83:8% as compared to state-of-the-art server supply policies, iSpot is able to ensure the performance of large-data analytics running on cloud transient servers. The overhead overtime is still acceptable.

275. Inappropriate construction equipment delay factors a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach

Construction equipment improvement is a trend in the market, and it has several advantages. Inappropriate construction equipment, on the other hand, creates delays in construction projects, harming the firm's reputation. A lot of studies on overall delay have been undertaken around the world. NonethelessHowever, there is a scarcity of studies on construction delays induced by inefficient construction equipment. The purpose of this article is to look into the reasons that cause construction equipment delays and how they affect the firm's reputation. The issues identified in the focus group interviews and the literature survey were used to create a report. To determine the impact of these factors on the progress of Indian building projects, a questionnaire survey was undertaken. The main constraint was that all 300 replies had to be gathered in person from building professionals in order to avoid skewed results. The positive strength of each factor's link was determined using Pearson correlation coefficients. To check if there was a significant difference between the respondents' firm categories, a t-test was utilized. The effective association between the causes of delays due to improper construction equipment and the effects on the company's reputation was validated using structural equation modeling (SEM). The improper construction equipment elements are associated among themselves and combined to influence the company's reputation, according to all of the components investigated by the SEM analysis. To overcome the ineffective equipment delay issues, recommendations are offered.

279. Does Anganwadi make a difference in the nutritional status of children?

ICDS centers, commonly known as Anganwadi Centres (AWC) started in the year 1975 mainly to fulfill the nutritional requirement of children along with essential integrated health services. The objective of this research is to know “how Anganwadi centers are working for improving the nutritional status among children”. Methods: The secondary data collected through the National Family Health Survey is used to analyze the effectiveness of Anganwadi Centres on child nutrition. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses have been carried out for this paper. Results: Over the years, the proportion of children accessing supplementary food from the Anganwadi/ ICDS has been declined. Further, recent data shows that percentage of children receiving food is high among poor households as compared to better-off households. However, the results of both bivariate and multivariate analyses show that there is no substantial difference in nutritional status of children between ICDS-covered and non-covered areas. Conclusion: There is no significant positive impact of supplementary nutrition through Anganwadi Centres on the malnutrition status of children. Therefore, the government should take steps for regular monitoring to ensure quality services through the Anganwadi centers. Then only, all the children will access adequate supplementary food and that would definitely make a change in the nutritional status of children.

282. Light Fidelity Trident

All around the world, the internet continues to transform how we connect with others, organize the flow of things, and share information. With its growing influence on individual consumers and large economies alike, the internet has become an increasingly vital part of our day-to-day lives. In the era of IoT (internet of things) security, speed and cost are the major problems that are to be solved in the world. The current wireless networks that connect us to the Internet are very slow when multiple devices are connected. Also with the increase in the number of devices which access the Internet, the availability of fixed bandwidth makes it much more difficult to enjoy high data transfer rates and to connect a secure network. The solution to this problem is the light fidelity trident technology which ensures high security, speed and a much broader spectrum for transmission compared to the existing technology. The IoT devices can be made compatible and in-sync with Light fidelity trident, for a more enhanced functioning. Light fidelity trident can conveniently accommodate multiple access points, as it is required by IoT connectivity, by using simple light bulbs as terminals. Light fidelity trident concept is similar to Light fidelity but uses the concept of RGB multiplexing scheme to produce white light spectrum. Each color carries different data, so the speed is ten times better than conventional Light fidelity. Light fidelity trident is not only faster than the existing light fidelity but also thrice more secure. Light fidelity trident is the future of data communication.

290. An ekistical approach towards impact of water on human settlements

In the present scenario, the issues related to water, such as water stress, water scarcity, water quality are gaining much importance as these real-life problems are increasing day by day. It has been known that once pollution has come up in the environment, it may remain concealed for many years and makes the water resources unsuitable for consumption and other uses. The rate of degrading groundwater levels and depletion of water quality (both surface and groundwater) is of major concern in major cities and towns in the country. Thus, a metropolitan city must be selected as a study area, which is facing a severe problem of water pollution and its management.

292. Water turbidity assessment in parts of Ganga River in Allahabad Region (Prayag) during Kumbh Festival

Turbidity can be defined as the opaqueness of water due to presence of suspended materials. The higher the amount of total suspended solids in the water, the higher the measured turbidity. Causes of turbidity include soil erosion, waste discharge, urban runoff, and algal growth. Turbidity is also defined as the reduction of clarity in water due to the presence of suspended or colloidal particles. Monitoring of turbidity becomes extremely important during events like Kumbh Mela which causes a sudden rise in river turbidity. Remote sensing obtains an optical measure of water turbidity in terms of Backscattering Units. Remotely sensed image from satellite has the potential to provide crucial information to offer considerable advantages for the study of large areas, determination of current and circulation patterns, and monitoring of sedimentation, water productivity, and eutrophication. WHO, The World Health Organization, establishes that the turbidity of drinking water should not be more than 5 NTU, and should ideally be below 1 NTU. But Ganga river flowing through Allahabad shows a sudden increase in turbidity up to 13-14 BU during the Kumbh mela Event. Turbidity increase results in harming the habitat areas for fish and other aquatic life. Turbid Particles also provide attachment places for other pollutants, notably metals and bacteria which makes the water contaminated and not suitable for drinking.

293. A modified approach in shortest path algorithm

In most graph theory problems, the shortest path problem or SPP is the problem of determining a distance between two nodes (or vertices) in a weighted graph in order that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized. In a connected graph there exists at least one path between every pair of vertices. In a weighted graph, the path between a pair of vertices for which the sum of the weights of the constituent edges is minimum is called the shortest path between them. Here in this paper, we developed a new algorithm to determine the shortest path of a weighted graph which is an improvement over Dijkstra’s algorithm so as to obtain all the shortest paths of a given weighted graph. Let us first recollect Dijkstra’s algorithm so as to easily comprehend our result

297. Detecting DDoS attack with AI/ML models

The enormous evolution of web-based applications on the public Internet has accomplished universal communication among billions of Smart IoT (Internet of Things) devices and such smart devices communicate with each other through the network. Simultaneously, cyber-attackers have gained enough knowledge on attacking the Internet and information on Secured systems. Distributed Denial of Services evolved as a serious threat for organizations, these attacks must be mitigated immediately for preventing damages to the business. In Information and Cloud Security, DDoS attack is one of the main concerning successful attack procedures. Since DDoS attack can deny and disturb the service of one or more IoT nodes simultaneously, which causes the loss of data for any company. In other words, this will be a serious threat to the organization. ML models are implemented for resolving various Cybersecurity related problems such as Malware detections, spam mails, vulnerabilities in software, detection of an anomaly, biometric and facial recognition, and many other areas. It is essential to simulate the discrete event DDoS attack model to evaluate the efficiency of the detection model for in-house study on DDoS attacks and preventions. This paper proposes a model to analyze the impact of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service). The implemented model was developed using Mininet and POX controller on open source. The resultant network traffic is generated as the dataset. The values of the dataset were compared and plotted with various Machine learning methods for the prediction of DDoS attacks.

299. Evolution of MTP act and ambiguous women’s rights in India: A critical review

In India, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) act 1971 has evolved a lot, to an extent that it has brought much liberty to women with some interim to the basic sexual and reproductive health rights. In the latest MTP 2021 amendment, the legal time of MTP has been extended from 20 weeks to 24 weeks, which was the need of the hour. Even after this amendment, women's basic reproductive rights aren’t assured due to the trends and acceptance of society which again has a long way to go. The system runs more as a doctor-centric rather than a women's rights-based framework. In this article, we have discussed the detailed chronology of evolution, comparison of the original act of 1971 with the latest amendment 2021; Women's reproductive rights, a few modifications that can be done to further improve the objectives, people’s social awareness, and acceptance to MTP. Many more gaps are discussed thoroughly, and required modifications are suggested.

305. Improved corpus base English to Hindi language translation sequence-based deep learning approach

While the NMT system operates conventional techniques such as rule-based machine translation and statistical machine translation, the manual human translation still falls short. Our two NMT systems, RNN sequence-to-sequence, and transformer-based models are used in this paper for English-to-Hindi translation and are compared to the current MT output for the BLEU score. It outperforms current performance systems. However, a thorough review of the translations projected shows that in instances when an unknown word is recognized, blank lines emerge in the output and the source phrase is translated in a number of ways, our NMT systems need to be improved. In addition, the finding of the effect of the bi-gram model on the Hindi translation and relation between comparable Indian languages provides a new research route for direct translation between couples of similar languages. It may be possible to circumvent the limitation of available parallel data in low-resource languages by using linguistic similarities to get accurate results. With English to Hindi, an LSTM-based care mechanism enhances the MT output of the GRU-based NMT system. We also evaluated MT output performance in the Indian language, Hindi, using the BLEU-1, BLEU-2, and BLEU3 scores. For an Indian language like Hindi, it has been pointed out that it is not sufficient to assess on the basis of the BLEU1 score, as in prior research. In any configuration of NMT systems, the average BLEU score obtained is close to the matching bi-gram BLEU score.

312. Anti-malarial drug therapy employing falcipain2 inhibitors

Malaria is one of the most infectious disease affecting 300-500 million people every year. The increased resistance of the parasitic strains to anti-malarial drugs have made it all the more difficult to combat the disease at an early stage. Therefore, there is an immediate need to come up with novel strategies to arrest the spread of infection. We have been able to conclude that falcipain2, cysteine protease from P.falciparum is mainly responsible for degradation of haemoglobin and thus inhibitors of falcipain2 will block the hydrolysis of haemoglobin, preventing the further spread of infection. This article mainly focuses on the identification of new drug targets for antimalarial therapy and characterization of falcipain2 inhibitors by carrying out docking studies and statistical analysis. We have used docking softwares to identify the specific conformations of ligands that show the maximum binding affinity with the target and further analysed these results by generating descriptors manually to perform QSAR. We have made use of regression studies to perform similarity analysis by generating optimum models using statistical software. The models were generated with r2 =0.99, r2cv= 0.99, s= 0.002 when Ds and GATS8s descriptors were correlated. The main classes of falcipain2 inhibitors include peptides comprising of vinyl sulphones, aldehydes, and ketone groups7. These peptides were tested for anti-malarial activity and two potential hits were identified.

314. A research study on the rise of crude oil prices with global context

The price of Crude oil reached a 32 month high as the price of Brent crude rose by 6 tenths of a percentage to $73.29. However the surge is not expected to end here. The rise in the price of crude oil has lead to the surge in the price of petrol and diesel which is already becoming unaffordable for the common man. The rise in price of crude oil can be explained by Adam Smith also known as the father of economics, theory of supply and demand. In the year 2020 the world was plagued with an unforeseen once in a century pandemic. .During the time of the pandemic many countries were forced to put its people on Lockdown which lead to a drastic fall in demand which lead to crude oil being traded on the negative thus at that time a decision was taken by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut the supply. In the year 2021 with the discovery of the Vaccine against the coronavirus Economic activity has resumed in most parts of the world which lead to a sky rocketing of demand with which the supply, previously cut could not match. The current price of Brent crude is now at $52 a barrel at the time of Lockdown it was trading at 19 dollars a barrel. According to OPEC’s monthly report of June they expect the demand of crude oil 96.58 barrels per day when in 2020 it was 90.63 barrels per day. According to the same report the demand of crude oil is said to further increase in the second half of the year with more and more of the world resuming economic activity. The international energy agency has predicted that by 2022 the pre pandemic level demand will be surpassed and has asked all oil producing nations to “open the tap” to continue to keep the world running. The rapid increase in the price of crude oil has had a significant impact on the state of India. Petroleum prices have skyrocketed and have become almost unaffordable to the common man. The price of petrol has been raised by 10.8 rupees a litres and in the same time period the price of diesel has been raised by 11.5 rupees a litre with both fuels being sold upwards of rupees 100 a litre.

317. Rape: Legal changes towards justice for rape

The word “rape” has come from the Latin word “rapio” which means to “seize.” The crime of Rape is a major problem in India and this paper tries to highlight the same issue by giving an overview of sexual violence cases and the amendments brought to it. The criminal procedure code, Indian penal code, and Indian Evidence Act are the milestones discussed in this paper to give light on such sensitive topics of Rape in India. The stigma which exists in our society for a very long period of time is RAPE. The dictionary meaning of the word rape is “the ravishing or violation of a woman.” The woman who is the victim of the rape undergoes a traumatic situation and it is really very difficult for a woman to come out of this painful trauma. In India Rape is considered a cognizable offense. There are many various provisions under IPC (Indian Penal Code) rape is defined under article 375[1] of IPC, 1860. The definition of the crime is defined under this article and also it prescribes the punishment of rape. When a man penetrates or does a sexual activity or sexual intercourse with a woman without her consent, it will amount to rape. Here penetration means that even the slightest touch of the penis to the vagina amounts to rape, it cannot be said that rape is not committed if the hymen is ruptured. Under IPC it has been clearly mentioned that no person can disclose the name of the rape victim and if anybody does so, he will be punished with either description for a term that may extend to two years and shall also be liable for a fine. That person who commits such crimes is considered a psychologically sadistic person who commits such shameful crime of Rape. It is regarded as a threatening act towards a woman, it creates fear and humiliation in the mind of the victim. It is not an assault only against a woman but against her family and community as well. Sexual violence and domestic violence is not only a national problem but a global problem. Though many efforts need to be done to provide justice to all the victims of Rape. Legislative acts and judicial judgments can bring major changes in society. Investigative officers and health care departments play a vital role in such sensitive matters especially during criminal trials going against the prosecutor. Every state should try to bring positive changes towards providing justice to sexual assault victims, 164(A) CrPC, Section 164A (7) CrPC, section 39 CrPC, section 375 IPC or 376 IPC, 176 CrPC, Section (1A),

320. Identification of novel compounds to treat Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease or Alzheimer’s is a brain disorder characterized by progressive loss of neural functions and dementia in elderly people. It has perilous effects on memory and other cognitive activities. Apolipoprotein (APOE) is responsible for delivering cholesterol-rich lipoproteins to the bloodstream. The maintenance of optimum levels of cholesterol is absolutely necessary as an imbalance might lead to cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Out of the four alleles for the APOE gene, the main causative agent for the onset of Alzheimer’s is the e4 allele. APOE e4 allele leads to the production of amyloid plaques which further cause the accumulation of amyloid β peptides. The excess build-up of such toxic products leads to neuronal death giving rise to early symptoms of the disease. Our research mainly focuses on the identification of potential inhibitors against Sortilin (SORT1) and APOE receptors associated with Alzheimer’s. We have employed scientific software to identify the specific conformations of ligands that show the maximum interaction with the target compound and further analyzed these results by generating descriptors computationally for QSAR studies. The optimum model was generated with r2 = 0.794, s= 0.108. We have been able to select two ligands that can be used as potential drugs to treat Alzheimer’s.

328. Segmentation approach for brain tumor detection

The task of detecting tumors is an important one as it can lead to many lives being saved as nearly 20k lives are lost every year due to brain tumors. The task is challenging as in few cases brain tumors are not detected in the early stages. With the help of artificial intelligence, this gap can be bridged. The task of detecting regions of tumors can be classified into the popular computer vision task of image segmentation. Given the actual MRI scans and the masks representing the region of the tumor, the machine learning models can learn the functions which map the regions to the presence or nonpresence of the tumor. The models are trained using a pair of MRI images and corresponding masks and the given an MRI image, the model should detect the region of the tumor if present. This paper explores the different state-of-the-art architectures to perform the task of image segmentation.

330. Lane detection and object detection system steering advisory for driver

Lane detection and tracking modules are now regarded as essential in the development of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Different vision-based algorithms that are being used in autonomous vehicles to determine road lanes are presented, reviewed, and compared in this proposed work. The main components are lane departure, lane tracking, collision avoidance, driver assistance system. Lane departure component assists in keeping the vehicle stable on the desired lane on the road. The front collision avoidance component will detect the road's frontal obstruction and shows up a pre-collision/proximity warning signal. The notice is based on the vehicle's speed and the object's distance from the cars. According to current research, the system can only identify one lane marking set in real-time and is unable to provide extra lanes for assistance in scenarios such as lane closures, road repairs, and car accidents that impede the driving lane. The project proposes a method for determining the marking of two lanes that might be used in conjunction with a detecting system to detect obstructions on the road ahead of the vehicle. This method takes a strong approach to lane detection and performs admirably in a variety of lane types.

332. Branding Women as Pseudo- Feminists: Taking Away Women’s Rights to be Angry Against Injustice

As per Merriam-Webster (2021), Feminism can be defined as the advocacy of and belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes expressed on behalf of women's rights and interests. One of the popular terms that are being increasingly used to describe modern feminists is 'pseudo-feminist. This paper reflects on the origin and meaning of the term pseudo-feminism to ascertain whether the use of such a term takes away women's right to be angry against injustice. Through careful consideration of the injustices encountered by women historically and different approaches to feminism, the paper establishes that the use of terms like pseudo-feminism undermines feminist causes and unfairly demands women to be not angry with the gender who have since time immemorial spewed injustice against them.

333. Effect of social media-based counseling on study habits of distance learners

In this modern era of technological advancements, teaching-learning activities along with counseling get privileged with the use of information communication technology for enriching the quality. In this concern, social media has played a significant role in teaching and taught interaction, especially in the field of distance education. Study habits play an important role in distance learning. However, it is difficult to understand the level of study habits on the part of distance learners. The main objectives of this study were to ascertain the study habits of distance learners with and without social media-based counseling and compare the result. It has also tried to compare study habits of distance learners with respect to their gender and discipline of study. About 80 distance students were taken as a sample of the study. The post-test-only experimental design was taken as methodology. It was found that the study habits of students gone through social media-based counseling were high in comparison to traditional counseling. It is also found that there exists no significant difference between male and female distance learners with respect to their study habits. A similar result was also obtained for their discipline of study. It is evident from the study that there exist strong correlations between learners' access to social media and their study habits. It is suggested that distance education institutions must encourage social media-based counseling for their learners in order to enhance their study habits.

334. Warehouse Security System

For ages, Agriculture is one of the main areas in terms of income for Farmers. Proper food storage has a very important role when it comes to food security that is affected by both food loss and food wastage. Food product losses can be avoided, which is automatic increases food availability. In this report, we are proposing an IoT-enabled warehouse monitoring system to deploy in remote areas where the very minimum accessibility for farmers with good security facilities reduces losses of food and increases the safety of food. This framework will monitor warehouse parameters such as Humidity, temperature, Smoke, and motion, which can affect grains. The ESP32 WiFi microcontroller module collects the data from the different sensors and sends data to the Blynk App dashboard, WhatsApp, and Telegram App. Many numbers of these IoT nodes can be installed inside the warehouse and which will get information about the warehouse environment to the farmers through Blynk, Telegram, and WhatsApp notifications to alert the user. Along with the security inside the warehouse, this proposed system also monitors the entry door of the warehouse to alert the farmer if any strange person wants to enter the warehouse. In such a situation, the photo of the person will be captured by the ESP32 CAM and send to the Telegram App of the farmer to allow or not to allow him inside. If the farmer authorizes the person, then, the person can enter inside the premises of the warehouse.

335. Are we doing justice to our citizens? Public financing of healthcare in developing countries with special reference to India

Public expenditure in health care has accounted for a rising proportion of national income in the current and previous centuries and this is regardless of their level of economic development. In this context, the central idea of the paper is to analyze the degree and volume of public health financing systems in developing countries [lower and middle-income countries (LMICs)] with a focus on India. The indicators selected include per capita income of the country (in PPP USD terms), life expectancy at birth (LEB) of the total population, infant mortality rate (IMR), the share of total health care expenditure (THE) as a proportion of GDP, government health expenditure (GHE) as a proportion of total health care expenditure (THE), private health expenditure (PHE) as a proportion of total health care expenditure (THE), etc. A positive relationship between the per capita income of the country and its corresponding health care resource commitment. In average terms, public sources contribute 45 percent of health financing, while the rest is by private means. Countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Seira Leone spend relatively low from public sources. Life expectancy is having a positive relationship with total health care spending in the countries analyzed. Given the context of serious market failures and government failures, the low-income country populations are in a vicious cycle of ill-health and poverty. Public spending is a major way of removing the clutches of deprivation. Scholars suggest that rich people gain more from public subsidies in education and health than do poor people for four sets of reasons: private costs, differential costs and benefits, patterns of government expenditure, and rationing.

336. A research study to find out the changing role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)

The International Monetary Fund or the IMF plays an important role in its global response to economic crises. It was created in 1944 to maintain the standard of fixed exchange rates which were established at the end of World War II. Since the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, the IMF has adopted a new core mission, providing loans to economically troubled countries. The IMF is primarily governed by an executive board that consists of representatives of the IMF member countries, with a heavier weighting to countries that provide more money to the Fund. The executive board sets the broad policy and approves loans. The IMF has the potential to play a strategic and crucial role in stabilizing and supervising the global economy, it has its limitations due to the dynamic changes which are happening around the world’s financial markets. Since countries have shifted to the flexible exchange rate system, financial independence and autonomy have increased. This development is bound to make the role of the IMF ineffective. For this research, I have collected real information by conducting a survey. I interviewed approximately 85 respondents living in Mumbai in order to fulfill the objectives of this research.

339. Redesigning rice cultivar (Oryza Sativa L.) Uma as saline tolerant cultivar through marker-assisted precision breeding

Rice is the only crop adaptable for cultivation in the marshy saline coastal agroecosystem. Salinity is the second major abiotic stress that limits rice production. The widely cultivated rice variety Uma in Kerala is the best yielder, but only having moderate tolerance to salinity due to partial introgression of Saltol QTL from Pokkali being the male parent of Uma. In this study, complete introgression of Saltol QTL was effected through a Marker Assisted Precision Breeding using the donor parent FL-478 and confirmed through genotyping and phenotyping. The gene sequence of polymorphic foreground marker SKC-10, the key marker for salinity tolerance, was introgressed into Uma, to tailor it into a saline tolerant variety. The background genome recovery of Saltol introgressed inbred lines of Uma was assessed using genome-wide polymorphic SSR markers between the parents covering all the 12 chromosomes. The aim of the present study was to improve the salinity tolerance level of the most popular elite rice cultivar Uma of Kerala by applying precision molecular breeding techniques.

341. Training of a robot manipulator model by three reinforcement learning algorithms (TRPO, PPO2, and ACKTR), use cases, and comparative studies

A model of the manipulator robot is available. It presents properties necessary for its integration in a reinforcement learning loop. This is the subject of the article [1]. Three reinforcement learning algorithms are used, TRPO, PPO2, and ACKTR. The first two algorithms learn well, but for the third one, the reward curve fails to find an increasing variation. Rather an erratic variation is observed. Experiments or use cases of the policy functions in controlling the robot were carried out. It is ok for the first two. The robot moves and reaches the targets presented after some iteration. For ACKTR there is no complete convergence but an oscillation around a fixed position.

342. Sri Lankan hybrid cultural remarks, revivals, and colonialism: based on Sri Lankan southern province temples’ murals

Sri Lanka has been an independent nation since ancient times. Historical sources attest to the fact that Sri Lanka was mainly inhabited by the Sinhala Buddhists and the Hindus under the political and economic conditions inherent in the country have changed due to the British occupation of the country. It had a profound effect on the cultural and religious conditions, especially the customs and traditions that promoted the local identity. It can be seen that the local people have been in a lot of trouble as upper-class people of this country who had worked with foreigners. The temple murals can be identified as an opportunity for the oppressed people of this country, led by the monks, to stand up against it, and through the visual media to show the oppression of the people and the catastrophic situation in the governing body. This research explores the challenges posed to the local culture through the art of temple murals. It will be very important to be able to control the present adverse conditions by finding solutions through history to the problems that are especially affecting the Buddhist Culture.

343. Image classification

More than 25 % of the entire revenue in E-Commerce is attributed to apparel & accessories. A major problem they face is categorizing these apparel from just the images especially when the categories provided by the brands are inconsistent. There is potentially n number of categories in which a given image can be classified. Manually checking and classifying images is a very tedious process. The task becomes near impossible when we're faced with a massive number of images, say 10,000 or even 100,000. How useful would it be if we could automate this entire process and quickly label images per their corresponding class? We can solve this problem by implementing the image classification

344. Consumerism

Post-WWI, the idea of consumerism emerged. Appliances that made the life of American housewives much simpler were introduced into society. These appliances were commonly known as ‘electric servants’ as they made everyday tasks easier and faster to finish. They included washing machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators that had freezers. Further, post the Great Depression and WWII, the living standards of the American people increased significantly as the US emerged as a powerful military force. Society became more affluent, suburban lifestyle and the middle class emerged. With this new inflow of income, there had to also be an outflow of this income. Americans became indulgent in material desire, spending most of their money on goods like televisions, cars, and home appliances – things that modernized their life. . Between 1945 and 1949, Americans purchased 20 million refrigerators, 21.4 million cars, and 5.5 million stoves, a trend that continued well into the 1950s.

346. Rainfall threshold intensity & other associated factors triggering debris flow in the Himalayan region – A literature review

Debris flows are fast-moving landslides that occur in a wide variety of environments throughout the world. Some landslides move slowly and cause damage gradually, whereas others move so rapidly that they can destroy property and take lives suddenly and unexpectedly. Debris flows, sometimes referred to as mudslides, mudflows, lahars, or debris avalanches, are common types of fast-moving landslides. These flows generally occur during periods of intense rainfall or rapid snowmelt. They usually start on steep hillsides as shallow landslides that liquefy and accelerate to speeds that are typically about 10 mph but can exceed 35 mph. The consistency of debris flows ranges from watery mud to thick, rocky mud that can carry large items such as boulders, trees, and cars. Debris flows from many different sources can combine in channels where their destructive power may be greatly increased. They continue flowing downhills and through channels, growing in volume with the addition of water, sand, mud, boulders, trees, and other materials. When the flows reach canyon mouths or flatter ground, the debris spreads over a broad area, sometimes accumulating in thick deposits that can wreak havoc in developed areas.

347. Content-based image retrieval using combined features of color descriptors, GLCM-SFTA, and Hu’s moments

Due to the information technology which is rapidly developing, digital content is becoming increasingly difficult to handle. This includes images that are kept on digital cameras, CCTV, and medical scanners. Areas such as medical and forensic science are using these databases to do critical tasks which include diagnosing diseases or identification of criminal suspects. However, managing and search the similar images from these databases is not an easy task. Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is one of the techniques used to manage and search similar images from a database. The performance of CBIR depends on the low level (Color, Texture, and Shape) features. In this paper, a new feature vector to represent the image in terms of low-level features and to improve the performance of CBIR is proposed. The proposed CBIR system was developed based on the combined features of Color, Texture, and Shape Features. Color features are extracted by using Color moments, HSV Color Autocorrelogram Feature (CAF), and Color Layout Descriptor (CLD). Texture features are extracted by Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Segmentation-based Fractal Texture Analysis (SFTA). Shape features are extracted by Hu Moments. The combined features which are made up of 165 Color Descriptor features, 109 GLCM-SFTA texture features, and 8 shape Hu's moment values are extracted to both query and database images. The extracted feature vector of the query image is compared with extracted feature vectors of the database images to obtain similar images.

348. An intrusion detection system in network traffic with the performance of snort in Wireshark to capture detailed information of data packets

Ideal for any closed data communication system is Data Packet. Network security means data packet security. Every day there are terrible attacks on the Internet. Quality of service has become an issue that requires a powerful traffic analysis and distribution engine for network applications. Network operators can index all applications on their network and use their full set of packet analyses to act as the primary method of intrusion detection. This study mainly focuses on a network intrusion detection system using a network packet analyzer called Wireshark. Therefore, it provides network security through network monitoring tools so that intrusion detection systems can easily gather accurate information. Packet sniffers have the decisive advantage of being an intrusion detection system that detects and blocks a variety of malware and spyware activity in network traffic. It is therefore important to evaluate the performance of Snort in Wireshark to capture, analyze and log detailed information of data packets in network traffic.

351. Automatic dual-axis solar tracker system using Image Processing

Solar energy is the most inexhaustible, renewable source of energy known to humanity. The energy extracted from photo-voltaic or any solar collector depends on solar irradiance. For maximum extraction of energy from the sun, the solar collector panel should always be normal to the incident radiation. Solar trackers move the solar collector to follow the sun’s path and keep the orientation of the solar collector at an optimal tilt angle. Solar tracking system improves substantially the energy efficiency of photo-voltaic panels. The aim of this project is to develop an Automatic Dual Axis Solar Tracker System with Image Processing in order to improve the efficiency of the solar panels.

352. Adsorption Behavior of Thorium and some Metal Ions on Cation Exchange Resin Dowex 50 WX8 (Nh4+Form) from Aqueous Acetone-Ammonium Propionate Media

In the field of inorganic separations, the incentive to explore the use of non-aqueous or mixed solvents has been the enhanced selectivity, discovered quite early in such media for Zeolites[1] and ion exchange resins. [2] The partial substitution of an aqueous solution by organic solvent produces a number of changes in an exchange system, such as, change in the solution structure due to the interaction between water and the organic solvent, change in the hydration and salvation of the electrolyte, change in the solvent composition in the resin phase, change in the activity coefficients of the electrolyte in the solution phase as well as in the resin phase, change in the complexation of the metal ion and change in the extent of invasion by an electrolyte. All these changes are mutually dependent and affect the distribution of the metal ion. From the investigations of ion exchange in mixed solvents, it is apparent that the adsorption equilibrium depends markedly on the properties of the organic solvent and reactions with the resin and electrolytes which determine the equilibrium.

354. A critical study of issues faced by farmers

The critical issues that plague Indian agriculture at present are the knowledge deficit and infrastructure deficit, especially in the rural areas. Problems related to irrigation infrastructure, market infrastructure, and transport infrastructure add significant costs to farmers' operations. Another issue is the lack of delivery mechanisms. There are a number of schemes aimed to bring development in agriculture. We do not have effective delivery mechanisms that can translate into effective facilitation in terms of increasing productivity or decreasing cost or increasing price realization at the ground level. Moreover, inadequate government support exacerbates these issues. Exploratory research was conducted and a data sample of 41 persons was taken who are from the farming background or profession. A chi-square test was conducted to see whether the suitability of agriculture for farmers due to globalization and the usefulness of new farmers are associated. After conducting the chi-square test it is concluded that the null hypothesis is accepted viz. The suitability of agriculture for farmers due to globalization and the usefulness of new farmers are associated. Corporate farming could be a solution to the Indian agrarian sector, but it needs deep thinking and innovating better policies so that neither the corporate nor the farmers be at loss. Also, the role of central government and state governments needs to be defined clearly as because of being a joint subject, it creates a lot of confusion. Eminent experts should do research in this aspect and governments must take proactive action. Indian agrarian sector in fact requires very innovative ideas for the uplifting of this sector. Also, without mechanization, farming is hard and back-breaking work. This has resulted in most farmers' children quitting farming and going for other vocations. Farmers get more money by selling their land to builders, malls, and factories. This has put more pressure on farmland, thereby requiring technologies to increase productivity so that shrinking farmland can feed billion plus people of India in the future. India, though one of the biggest producers of agricultural products, has very low farm productivity, with an average of only 33 percent of the best farms the world over. This needs to be increased so that farmers can get more remuneration from the same piece of land with less labor.

356. How the COVID-19 pandemic affected mother-daughter relationships

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has had drastic consequences on all aspects of our lives, especially relationships. Since research suggests that the mother-daughter dyad has a significantly higher influence on adolescents than any other familial relation, the purpose of this qualitative study was to assess the impact of the pandemic on this markedly influential relationship in the Indian context. Convenient sampling was used to recruit 20 female participants, all in the 14 to 17 years age group, studying in Neerja Modi School, Jaipur. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed, thematically analyzed, and the results were then tabulated. It was found that the pandemic positively impacted mother-daughter relationships for the majority of the participants, while for a select few, it led to detrimental effects like an increase in the number of fights and arguments. The study also aimed to evaluate the impact of these changes in relationships on the well-being of the daughter, and it was inferred from the data that for a majority of the participants, the shift in relationship dynamics was accompanied by a conspicuously positive impact on their wellness and mental health.

358. Pareto-optimal phylogenetic tree reconciliation considering duplications, transfers, losses, and incomplete lineage sorting

A phylogenetic tree is a representation of the evolutionary histories of different species from which the gene tree is constructed from some specific sequence of copies of genes that are sampled from a group of species. For some biological events like gene Duplication (D), Horizontal Gene Transfer (T), Loss (L), and Incomplete Lineage Sorting (ILS), with the passage of time, the history of gene evolution and species evolution might show discord in most cases. Though many researchers do not account ILS event as discordance between a gene tree and species tree because, in theory, ILS is not a true “gene event” such as duplication or a transfer, since nothing “happens” to the gene during incomplete lineage sorting. But still, this phenomenon can lead to a gene tree differing from the species tree just like speciation acts on populations. Reconciliation is a process of resolving a disagreement between gene and species tree with the least possible evolutionary event costs. Addressing this problem (not accounting ILS event), we propose an efficient Pareto-optimal algorithm to reconcile a binary gene tree with binary species tree under Duplication, Transfer, Loss and Incomplete Lineage Sorting parsimony criterion, which is the extension of the previous Pareto-optimal algorithm developed by Libeskind-Hadas et al., 2014[12]. Through this research, it has been shown that how to properly cost DTL events considering ILS event and then give a fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm which calculates the most parsimonious Duplication (D), Horizontal Gene Transfer (T), Loss (L), and Incomplete Lineage Sorting (ILS) reconciliations. Comparing with the previous Pareto-optimal algorithm, the space complexity will remain the same after considering the ILS events. This is the first Pareto-optimal reconciliation algorithm to consider all of the four evolutionary processes driving tree incongruence.

359. Landfill site selection with spatial suitability analysis and multi-criteria decision making in Devchuli municipality

Solid waste management (SWM) being an important aspect of infrastructure development defines the state, status of urban development in terms of other co-related aspects such as Political, Environmental, Socio-Economic, and Technological as well. The prevailing Landfill Site in Devchuli Municipality needs to be assessed in terms of various criteria as the needs of rapidly growing and emerging cities are changing. Moreover, the landfill site is a public decision and requiring inputs from various stakeholders and groups in compliance with the participatory approach involving various voices for complex decision making. Geospatial Technology and its applications can be used in these sorts of Assessments. The multi-criteria decisions are based on various aspects as suggested by previous researchers. The combination of these criteria and the use of Geospatial Technology allows us to assess the suitability of the Landfill site. The output will be able to find out the challenges and give a clear vision for further research.
