5. Vehicle Diagnostics Systems and Intelligent Failure Prediction

The automotive industry's rapid growth has led to increased vehicle numbers and subsequently higher failure rates. Conventional diagnostics react to failures, lacking preventive capabilities. Current On-Board Diagnostics are no longer sufficient, necessitating upgrades. To address this, I propose implementing Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Deep Learning Models to predict failures in advance, saving costs and avoiding mishaps. These models utilize historical data and vehicle tests to establish threshold values, triggering warnings if the system detects potential failures. The system comprises an OBD device sending data to a remote server, which updates a dashboard with real-time failure alerts.

7. Free-body modal analysis of a Baja SAE vehicle chassis

With the growing need to design increasingly efficient and complex systems, engineering studies are increasingly resorting to computer simulation techniques to analyze the performance and behavior of physical systems. These simulations help to reduce the time and cost of developing new projects. The aim of this article was to carry out a free-body modal simulation of the chassis of a Baja SAE off-road mini vehicle, using the finite element method. The study used Solidworks software to generate the 3D model of the chassis and Ansys software to carry out the simulations. At the end of the simulations, it was possible to see that the chassis structure has natural frequencies between 36 and 86 Hertz (Hz) when the structure is free, which are different from the frequencies of the main source of forced vibration in the structure. In this way, it can be concluded that the structure does not enter the resonance phenomenon, meeting the design assumptions.

10. The Plight of People below The Poverty Line in India

One of India's most pressing societal problems is poverty. A sizable portion of the Indian population is impacted. Due to the recession brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of impoverished people in India has more than doubled from 60 million to 134 million in only one year. As a result, India has once again returned to the category of "country of mass poverty" after 45 years. The negative effects of poverty on our country's children include subpar housing, homelessness, poor nutrition, and food security, inadequate child care, a lack of access to health care, hazardous neighbourhoods, and underfunded schools. It is a must to take prompt, appropriate action to address the issue of poverty. Farmers should be provided with enough amenities that they can make farming viable and avoid moving to cities in search of work. People who lack literacy should be provided with the necessary training so they may earn their living. Family planning should be practiced to stop the population from growing. Additionally, steps should be taken to eradicate corruption so that we can address the wealth disparity. The issue of poverty affects the entire country, not just one individual. For India's people, society, and economy to thrive sustainably and inclusively, poverty must be eradicated.

17. A novel risk assessment and screening tool for Learning Disorders in children

Learning disorders (LDs) are neurodevelopmental disabilities with a worldwide prevalence of 5-15%. Lack of awareness paired with heterogeneity in testing methods results in non-identification of LDs in children. Assessment tests presently used to diagnose LDs require the physical presence of a medical professional, are time-consuming and expensive, and adopt a non-child-centric approach. DysDiag proposes novel, accessible, and easy-to-administer risk assessment and screening tests (based on DSM-5 criteria), for LDs in children (5-8 years). DysDiag’s test for Dyslexia consists of a gamified, visual-based quiz that accesses the child’s phonemic, auditory, and visual-based skills followed by a pronunciation test and parental questionnaire. The test for Dysgraphia includes 2 Machine Learning Image Classification Models that classify the child’s handwritten sample as dysgraphic or normal and further evaluate the sample for 6 diagnostic symptoms. The models recorded F1 scores of 0.785 and 0.964 respectively. The test of Dyscalculia includes a facial emotion recognition model alongside a response-time-based math quiz and a parental questionnaire. DysDiag was tested on 40 children consisting of a case group of pre-diagnosed children (n=20, mean age=6yrs) and a control group (n=20, mean age=7yrs). The children were tested by a registered medical professional followed by DysDiag’s screening tests. DysDiag recorded a sensitivity and specificity of 90%, a Positive Predictive Value of 94.73%, and a Negative Predictive Value of 90.47%. DysDiag was also reviewed and rated by 15 psychologists and pediatricians. DysDiag proved to be a clinically viable tool that can aid in the early identification and mass screenings for LDs at elementary schools.

20. Application of Catboost algorithm as a predictive tool in a CNC turning process

In this paper, an ensemble learning method, in the form of a Categorical boost (Catboost) algorithm is adopted as an effective predictive tool for envisaging values of average surface roughness and material removal rate during the CNC turning operation of C45 steel workpiece with a tungsten carbide cutting tool. In order to develop the related models, a grid with combinations of different hyperparameters is created and tested for all the possible hyperparametric combinations of the model. The configurations having the optimal values of the considered hyperparameters and yielding the lowest training error are finally employed for predicting the response values in the CNC turning process. The performance of the developed models is finally validated with the help of root mean squared percentage error. It can be observed that Catboost can be efficiently applied as a predictive tool with excellent accuracy in machining processes.

22. Ethical Guideline for Use of AL and ML Algorithms in Decision Making

Decision-making is a structured process involving the identification of objectives, the collection of relevant information, and the evaluation of potential solutions. This process fosters an environment conducive to innovation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms comprise a set of instructions that enable machines to learn and make decisions based on acquired knowledge. The rapid evolution of research, development, and application of these technologies has led to their increasing integration into decision-making processes. To ensure the ethical use of AI and ML algorithms, comprehensive guidelines have emerged. These guidelines provide a framework for the responsible development and deployment of technology. By incorporating principles of transparency, fairness, accountability, and accuracy into AI and ML algorithms, these guidelines aim to build trust and mitigate bias. Despite the existence of various guidelines, they often lack specific applicability to particular use cases. To address these challenges and provide practical guidance, we have derived actionable guidelines for the ethical use of AI and ML algorithms in decision-making from existing ethics. This review paper analyzes these guidelines and provides a detailed overview of the ethical principles underpinning them.

23. A study on the impact of binge-watching on dissociation

To study the impact of Binge-watching on Dissociation Binge-watching is a relatively new phenomenon that has gained popularity recently. Due to Covid 19 Lockdown, OTT platforms have seen a 65% increase in new subscriptions. Many studies have looked upon binging as a behavior, but minimal studies investigate the specific bingeing aspect, of binge-watching and the effects it might be causing. This study analyses binge-watching and its impact on dissociation-normative dissociation. The study consists of a survey design that helps to understand the relationship between binge-watching and dissociation. It comprised 125 responses divided into two age groups viz. 18-25 years and 25-30 years. The individuals were compared using the Binge Watching Engagement and Symptom Questionnaire (BWESQ) and the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS). It was hypothesized that there is no correlation between binge-watching and dissociation, there is no difference between excessive and non-excessive binge-watchers concerning dissociation, and there is no difference between the two age groups 18-25 and 25-30 concerning binge-watching and dissociation. Post correlation analysis, it was found that Binge-watching correlated positively with Dissociation. A difference is observed with respect to excessive binge-watchers and non-excessive binge-watchers for dissociation. It was also found that there is no difference between the age groups 18-25 and 26-30 on binge-watching and dissociation. These findings suggest that further research can be done on neuropsychological, executive functioning, and structural aspects of the same.

24. Spatiotemporal variability time-series analysis of North American wildfire intensity on vegetation recovery using NDVI, EVI, and GPP

Wildfires are major disturbances that can leave lasting impacts on the ecosystem, biodiversity, and our society. Just this past year, over 4 million acres of land were burned across California, making the 2020 fire season the largest ever recorded in the state. Using three indices derived from satellite data, NDVI, EVI, and GPP, the post-fire recovery values in the indices were analyzed, and the results were used to determine whether vegetation type could affect the recovery. Three fires from the 2004 fire season in Alaska were selected to mimic the forest ecosystems in California without direct disturbances from human activities. MODIS-derived images were extracted from the Earth Explorer database every year from 2000-2018 and individually processed in QGIS to calculate NDVI, EVI, and GPP. The data of pre-fire areas from 2000-2003 was averaged and used as a control and reference area. NDVI and EVI values in post-fire recovery were extremely similar in areas with dense conifer populations and took an average of 8 years to recover, while GPP values show quicker recovery at only 3 years. Results also demonstrate that an area with a balance of 46% shrubs and 40% conifers recovered much faster, at around 3 years for all indices, in comparison to areas with 76% dense conifer populations. Using only one index is not enough for the most accurate results and it is critical to implement a variety of remote-sensing techniques in forest planning and recovery.

27. Flexible Pavement Evaluation by Falling Weight Deflectometer Test Using IIT-Pave and KGP Back Software.

It is now possible to regularly apply an analytical-empirical (or mechanistic) method of structural pavement evaluation because to the rapid development of technology and software over the past ten years. It is described how to determine the modulus of each structural layer in a pavement system. These moduli are determined non-destructively and in situ under conditions very similar to those caused by heavy traffic. The method is analyzed using empirical evidence, and some practical examples are given to illustrate its use. An analytical-empirical approach is recommended for the structural design of pavement systems. An "analytical method" or a "mechanistic method," as it has an important empirical component, is often referred to as such, and therefore the term "Analysisal-Empirical" is more appropriate. FWD test has been conducted at the designated sites, with KGP Back software being used to analyze the results (IRC 115-2014), and IIT-Pave software verifying the design.

32. Hybrid deep approach for malware detection

Malware is malicious software designed to compromise computer systems, and poses a significant threat to businesses, with potential repercussions ranging from financial losses to damaged reputations and eroded customer trust. To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid deep learning approach that combines the power of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), both of which are models in the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) family. Our research focuses on assessing the potential improvements achieved by this hybrid approach, leveraging a benchmark dataset known as NSL-KDD+. This dataset offers a temporal dimension and encompasses a diverse array of malware samples and network traffic scenarios for comprehensive testing and evaluation. We employ a range of performance metrics, including Accuracy, Precision, F1 Score, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and others, to comprehensively gauge the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

33. The Dilemma in Quantum Mechanics

This study possesses the ambition to further investigate and indulge in the world of quantum mechanics and its complexities and possibly ascertain a solution for one major issue attributed to it: the measurement problem, which refers to, in layman's words, the issue of how and why a wave function collapses. According to papers published during the late 1930s, the measurement problem was an issue that could be partially resolved by utilizing the loosely shaped ideas of the Copenhagen Interpretation, which was later coined by Werner Heisenberg during the 1950s, as well as the newborn Pilot-Wave theory, which was further developed and brought to prominence by David Bohm’s work during the 1950s. However, due to the deficiency of new information from modernized research modalities and experiments, these papers lack the new approaches proposed by various physicists, which places a circumscription on the aptitude possessed on this topic. Hence, through this paper, I possess the ambition to utilize the theories of Many Worlds (MWI), QBism, and the further developed Pilot Wave Theory (PWT) to hopefully solve this issue. Contrary to what has customarily been believed, the measurement problem can be partially solved by twisting the functioning of quantum mechanics according to certain theories, which would then act as a base for them and substantiate their claims regarding the measurement issue, such as the MWI theory going against traditional quantum theory and claiming that particles possess definite properties, with many other theories doing something similar, which I will be articulating upon in this paper. To deduce this prolonged abstract, I hope to provide you with a higher magnitude of perception on this infamous issue and probably resolve some of your pertaining doubts on quantum physics.

36. Keyword-Based Search Engine Using Cosine Similarity

The development of search engines that can retrieve relevant content based on user-specified keywords is necessary due to the increasing volume of digital information available on the internet. In this abstract, a novel approach is presented to build a keyword-based search engine that uses cosine similarity to enhance search result relevance and precision. Our search engine, which is keyword-based and uses cosine similarity, has several benefits over traditional search engines. The accuracy of search results is improved by taking into account semantic relationships between words, leading to a more contextually relevant ranking. With increased precision and efficiency, users can expect better search experiences when searching for the information they need.
