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.

Traffic rule violation detection and reporting system

The increasing number of vehicles in cities can cause high volumes of traffic, and implies that traffic violations become more critical nowadays in India and also around the world. This causes severe destruction of property and more accidents that may endanger the lives of the people. To solve the alarming problem and prevent such unfathomable consequences, traffic violation detection systems are needed. For which the system enforces proper traffic regulations at all times, and apprehends those who do not comply

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.

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.

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.

AI-based chatbots for providing health-related information

Chatbots in the health care systems may have the potential to provide patients with access to immediate medical information. Health care chatbots can help patients better manage their own health; improve access and timeliness to care. Al-based Chatbots for supplying health-related information. The System uses artificial intelligence which includes advanced Natural language processing to answer the query Tf-IDF weighting. The User can query any health-related activities through the system. The user does not have to personally go to the health for an inquiry. The software analyses the questions and then answers the user. The software answers the queries as if it is questioned by a person. The software answers using a Graphical user interface which implies that as if a pupil is talking to the user. The user has to register himself to the software and has to log in. After login user can access the bot. A chatbot is a program that communicates with people.
