A Comparative Study of Machine Learning Models for Predictive Analytics in Detecting Security Breaches Across Industrial IoT-Based Critical Infrastructure in U.S. Organizations

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies have emerged with significant security challenges due to increasing interconnectivity and network complexity. Thus, this study proposes and tests a centralized deep-learning intrusion detection system (IDS) particularly designed for IIoT networks. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) were implemented in PyTorch and TensorFlow, and their performance was assessed on the CIC IoT-DIAD 2024 dataset to simulate real industrial traffic and varied attack vectors. Accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrices were used for the evaluation metrics. Results showed that the TensorFlow CNN achieved the highest detection rate (80.1%), followed very closely by the PyTorch CNN (77.3%), highlighting the superior performance of CNN architectures, especially on TensorFlow, in recognizing intricate spatial patterns in IIoT traffic. The comparative research enhances IIoT cybersecurity research by identifying efficient deep learning models for intrusion detection and proposing a framework for adoption in industrial systems to improve resilience and mitigate vulnerability to advanced cyberattacks.

Experimental Investigation of Coconut Shell as a Lightweight Aggregate in Concrete

This experimental study investigates the feasibility of utilising coconut shell as a partial replacement for conventional coarse aggregates in M20 grade concrete. The aim is to evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of lightweight concrete produced using varying percentages of coconut shell aggregates (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%). Experimental parameters such as workability, density, and compressive strength at 7, 14, and 28 days were analysed. Results indicated that a 20% replacement of coarse aggregates with coconut shells provided an optimal balance between strength and weight reduction, making it suitable for non-structural and low-load-bearing applications. The study concludes that coconut shell concrete is an eco-friendly alternative for sustainable construction practices.

Impact of AI and Automation on Employee Upskilling Needs

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation are transforming the global labour market by redefining job roles, required competencies, and organisational learning priorities. This study investigates the growing need for upskilling among employees as workplaces adopt AI-enabled systems. The study combines insights from established global and Indian literature with sample-based data to analyze how AI adoption impacts workforce readiness and skill development. Data from institutional reports such as the International Association of Workforce Professionals (2024), All Multidisciplinary Journal (2025), SDMIMD HR Conference (2023), and Taylor & Francis (2021) were examined alongside sample dataset analysis. The findings indicate that while automation displaces repetitive jobs, it simultaneously generates demand for complex cognitive, technical, and interpersonal skills. Indian organizations are rapidly adopting AI tools but often lack structured training mechanisms to address the emerging skill gap. The study emphasizes that strategic upskilling programs, leadership involvement, and policy support are critical for sustaining employability and competitiveness in the AI era.

Smart Irrigation System Using IoT

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Smart Irrigation System using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for efficient agricultural water management. The system utilizes an Arduino Uno microcontroller, soil moisture sensors, and a GSM communication module to automate irrigation processes. By integrating real-time soil data with cloud-based storage through Firebase, it ensures data accessibility, analysis, and remote monitoring. The experimental results demonstrate water savings of approximately 35–40% and an energy reduction of 20% compared to conventional irrigation methods. The proposed system enhances sustainability and supports precision agriculture practices.

Judicial Accountability and Institutional Reform: A Methodological Framework for Assessing the Amendment to the Judicial Conduct & Removal Regime in India via the Yashwant Verma Affair

The integrity and independence of the judiciary are the twin pillars of constitutional democracy. However, the recent Justice Yashwant Varma affair—involving a probe initiated under the supervision of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and recommendations by Justice Sanjiv Khanna— has reignited national debate on the adequacy of India’s mechanisms for judicial accountability. This research seeks to evaluate the potential amendment and reform of the judicial conduct and removal regime through a combined doctrinal-empirical approach. It will analyse the constitutional and statutory framework governing judicial conduct (Arts. 124–137, 217–222 of the Constitution; Judges [Inquiry] Act 2, 1968), examine procedural lacunae revealed by the Varma inquiry, and propose a methodological framework to assess future reforms. The study situates the case within the broader question of how India can reconcile judicial independence with accountability and transparency. This research explores how the Justice Varma episode and Justice Khanna’s proactive stance may signal the beginning of a long-overdue amendment to the judicial accountability framework in India. Adopting a mixed-method approach that integrates doctrinal legal analysis with empirical qualitative research, the study examines constitutional provisions (Articles 124–147 and 217–222), the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, and the 1999 in-house procedure to identify institutional gaps and reform needs. It further draws comparative insights from other common-law jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom and Canada, where judicial conduct mechanisms operate with transparency and independence. By framing a methodological model that evaluates both legal norms and real-world perceptions, this research aims to contribute to scholarly and policy discourse on how India can evolve a codified, transparent, and ethically resilient framework for judicial accountability—one that safeguards both public confidence and judicial autonomy.

Design and Analysis of a Smart Drainage Alert System Using IoT Sensors

In the past years, urban flooding due to clogged drains has been a persistent problem in many Indian cities. Even well-planned areas like Gurugram that lie in the NCR region faced extreme waterlogging during monsoons. This research presents a low-cost Smart Drainage Alert System that uses IoT sensors to monitor water levels and detect possible blockages. The proposed model uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect rising water levels, connected to a microcontroller and cloud platform for live data tracking. When the water levels exceed a set threshold limit, the system sends an alert to the user via a mobile application. A small-scale prototype demonstrates that IoT-based monitoring can provide affordable, effective drainage management for communities.
