Understanding Popular Music: What Makes it Catchy?

Music is an emotional stimulus that reflects important human psychology of the listener based on their taste. It can also reveal the emotional state of humanity by referring to the most played or popular songs. It imprints on listeners a memory, which, if it is pleasing to the brain, tends to get replayed. This replay of a song in the brain is almost always a certain part of the song, known as the hook, and is known as an "earworm." Earworms are generally caused by a piece of music played by the listener that sounds catchy or intriguing to the brain. The purpose of this paper is to understand and analyse what features of a certain music piece influence its catchy quality, whether it is based on the lyrics, the melodies, the synth or acoustic quality, the gender of the artist, or a music video and various other factors. It does so by analysing the number of streams that a particular song has received, which shows the number of times people have listened to it due to its catchy nature.

FinTrack – A Finance Tracker

Managing personal finances effectively has become essential in today’s fast-paced digital environment, where individuals often face difficulty in tracking their income and expenses systematically. This paper presents FinTrack – A Finance Tracker, a web-based application designed to simplify and improve personal financial management. The system is an enhanced continuation of the previously developed “Expenzo” project, redesigned with improved usability, efficiency, and performance. FinTrack enables users to record daily transactions, categorize expenses, and monitor income in a structured manner, helping them maintain better financial discipline. It also provides budgeting functionality, allowing users to set spending limits and evaluate their financial behavior against predefined goals. To support better decision-making, the system offers visual insights through charts and summarized reports, making financial patterns easier to understand. The application is developed using Python with the Flask framework for backend operations, ensuring efficient handling of user requests and data processing, while SQLite is used as a lightweight and reliable database for storing user information securely. The frontend is built using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap to deliver a responsive and user-friendly interface across multiple devices. Additionally, secure authentication mechanisms are implemented to protect user data and maintain privacy. The results indicate that FinTrack helps users gain better control over their finances by promoting awareness and organized tracking. The system is especially beneficial for students and working professionals seeking a simple yet effective solution for managing daily expenses, with future scope including advanced analytics, AI-based predictions, and integration with modern digital payment platforms.

Smart IoT Based Battery Management System for EV Battery

Advanced battery management is now essential for lifetime and safety due to the quick spread of lithium-ion batteries in electric cars and renewable energy systems. Static hardware thresholds are usually used by traditional battery management systems (BMS) to guard against overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent. Although these static methods work well for simple defects, they frequently fail to anticipate compounding stress elements that cause thermal runaway or cell deterioration. The design and implementation of a sophisticated, Internet of Things-enabled BMS for a 3S (11.1V) Lithium-ion battery pack is shown in this study. It integrates real-time telemetry with an edge-computed Machine Learning (ML) algorithm. The system accomplishes high-fidelity sensing by using a 16-bit ADS1115 Analogue-to-Digital Converter and an ESP8266 microprocessor dynamic "Risk Score" is continually computed by a Logistic Regression model using voltage, current, temperature, State of Charge (SoC), and State of Health (SoH). The system has a multi-tiered protection procedure that includes a physical relay cutoff during critical stages and a nonblocking audio warning during medium-risk conditions. Additionally, the BMS transmits telemetry to the ThingSpeak cloud platform in its capacity as a smart-grid edge device. The dependability and remote observability of energy storage systems are greatly improved by this predictive method, as demonstrated by experimental data.

Hack Hub

Hackathons have become an essential part of technical education, encouraging students to apply their knowledge, enhance problem-solving skills, and work collaboratively in teams. However, many students face challenges while participating in hackathons, such as difficulty in finding suitable team members, lack of awareness about peers’ skills, limited interaction across different classes or departments, and hesitation among introverted students to communicate openly. These challenges often lead to poor team formation or discourage students from participating in hackathons altogether. To overcome these issues, this project proposes a Hackathon Collaboration Website designed specifically for college students. The platform functions as a professional networking system similar to LinkedIn but focuses exclusively on hackathon-related collaboration. The website allows users to register, create detailed profiles, list their technical and nontechnical skills, share posts related to hackathon ideas, like and comment on posts, and communicate with other students through a chat feature. This helps students identify peers with similar interests and complementary skills, enabling effective team formation. The system is developed using HTML and CSS for the frontend interface, PHP for server-side processing, and MySQL (phpMyAdmin) for database management. The platform ensures secure data handling, easy accessibility, and a userfriendly interface. By providing a structured and centralized environment for interaction, the proposed system enhances collaboration, increases student participation in hackathons, and promotes inclusive teamwork within the college.

Development of Green Concrete using Agricultural Waste Ashes (Rice Husk Ash and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash) as Partial Cement Replacement

The construction industry is rapidly expanding, resulting in increased cement consumption and substantial environmental problems due to greenhouse gases. To mitigate this problem, it is critical to use sustainable and alternative building materials. Agricultural waste materials such as Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) are viable sources of supplementary cementitious materials because they are abundant, environmentally friendly, and exhibit pozzolanic properties. This study characterizes RHA and SCBA for use in concrete mixtures. The study conducts analyses of the chemical and physical properties of RHA and SCBA in order to determine their reactivity, compatibility with cement, and overall behavior in concrete mixtures. The study conducts an analysis of the chemical characterization (i.e., silica content, pH, carbonate content and iron content) and physical characterizations (i.e., specific gravity and fineness) of RHA and SCBA to determine the effect on concrete mixtures. In addition, the study conducted workability tests (slump test) of green concrete with 10% total cement replacement for 5% of each RHA and SCBA. The study findings indicate that both RHA and SCBA exhibit high levels of silica and are highly alkaline, suggesting both materials have excellent pozzolanic properties. The physical properties indicate that both RHA and SCBA have much lower densities and finer particle sizes that improve microstructure and particle packing. The workability of the concrete containing both RHA and SCBA showed a slump of 75 mm, indicating a medium level of workability, which is acceptable for practical use. Overall, the study findings indicate that RHA and SCBA are viable and sustainable substitutes for conventional cement materials and that the use of these two materials can help reduce the negative impacts of cement on the environment and improve resource conservation.
