6. A novel approach to secure video steganography

The rapid development of data communication in the modern era demands a secure exchange of information. Steganography is the technique of data hiding. Thus, video steganography means hiding data inside a video file. Existing systems work on the LSB technique and has a defined format in which data is stored and can be easily guessed by the intruder. The proposed method is based on the Pixel Value Extraction of RGB model which uses Bit insertion technique to insert the text within the Video file. Usually, the hackers focus on LSB bits for secret data extraction but the proposed technique utilizes the MSB bits that make it more secure from unauthorized access. This system focuses on the data security approach when combined with encryption and steganographic techniques for secret communication by hiding it inside the video.

8. A multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase IV clinical study comparing the safety and effectiveness of the fixed-dose combination of trypsin, bromelain, and rutoside with standard therapy in the management of wound due to minor surgery

Wound healing is a complex process consisting of steps–hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The purpose of this multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, prospective, two-arm, phase IV clinical study was to evaluate and compare the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fixed-dose combination (FDC) enteric-coated tablets of trypsin 96 mg + bromelain 180 mg + rutoside trihydrate 200 mg–Enzomac Forte with the enteric-coated tablets of trypsin-chymotrypsin 100000 AU–marketed formulation in the complex wound healing process. An open-label, randomized, parallel, active-controlled, two-arm, phase IV clinical study was conducted at 13 centers in India from December 02, 2017, to May 04, 2019. Adult patients aged 18-65 years (both inclusive) fulfilling the eligibility criteria were included. These patients were randomized into two treatment groups–FDC versus trypsin-chymotrypsin. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) were recorded to evaluate and compare the safety and tolerability. The efficacy of both the treatment in the management of wound healing was noted and compared. AEs were reported in five patients; no SAEs were reported. No clinically significant differences in the occurrence of AEs were found; thus, both the treatments were safe and tolerable. The wound regeneration efficacy on day 10±2 was significantly higher with FDC as compared to trypsin-chymotrypsin. A significantly high improvement of total BWAT score with FDC as compared to trypsin-chymotrypsin was observed. FDC used by the authors in this study was found to be equally safe and tolerable and more effective than the marketed formulation used for wound healing after a minor surgical procedure.

9. Conservation of water in landscape practices

Conservation of water in landscape practices Abstract Water is a scarce resource and it's quite relevant in India. However, a well designed, water-efficient landscape style should be thought of no matter the location. A water-conscious, sustainable landscape is definitely accomplishable through straight forward measures. Regenerative landscape design is the integration of ecological, social, cultural, and economic factors in coming up with better planning that helps to shield environs, contribute to stormwater management, conserve water, etc. Sustainability always comes in with the conservation of resources. Sustainability and conservation landscaping both work with nature to increase water quality, lower water consumption, utilize native plants. The options for selecting native and drought-tolerant plants far exceed cacti and succulents. Sustainability emphasizes addressing social and economic factors in addition to environmental factors whereas Conservation addresses the part of the environmental benefits. The paper talks about issues, measures, and agendas to create a landscape that is for the future incorporating the necessity and self-sustaining ability of a landform. With water scarcity, we need to ask ourselves if we need a vast lawn considering the benefits of keeping water consumption low. Using resources wisely and designing your landscape with strategically applied water is a need of the hour. ''The environment and the economy are the two sides of the same coin.

10. Public education for rural areas in the era of digital education

In the months following the national lockdown in India, a large amount of relief and recovery programs were released that were directed towards economic reconstruction. The education sector made multiple strides as well but there have been certain gaps that have not yet taken this attempt, despite the 250 billion dollar investment plan of India's central government. The lockdown impacted the day to day operations of schools, including the closure of a community daycare facility for the urban and rural communities which further resulted in schooling and health-related impacts. It has been suggested that the effect on girls and children from already deprived racial and caste backgrounds is likely to get even more severe. Strategies at various levels are still being explored to enhance and reinforce the current social insurance systems and boost their impacts. Despite the various efforts and initiatives introduced by the government, there is a failure in the public education system during such crisis scenarios. Will the collective efforts of the government, NGOs, and civil society organizations help in introducing digital initiatives to meet the initial challenges and help in making learning more engaging and interesting. Also, keeping in mind this current pandemic wherein most of the private schools took their classes online, it is important that such measures are taken for the rural and underprivileged children who might not be able to afford the requisite tools and gadgets for e-learning. It is important for the government to ensure that they are not despised for their basic education and there is always an alternative during major crises.

11. Numerical investigation on a smoke management system in an administration building’s atrium

Smoke is considered the major reason for killing a lot of people in case of a building fire because of the reduction of visibility and asphyxiation fatalities that occurred in the smoke event. The present research illustrates a numerical simulation on smoke propagation and smoke control for the atrium in an administration building and investigates the effect of exhausting smoke by multi-point extraction through rooftop exhaust fans on smoke layer height inside the atrium. ANSYS-FLUENT solver is used to solving two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) combined with K-ε Realizable turbulence model for different study cases in an atrium. The two-dimensional rectangular plan that is located at the center of the atrium is simulated with the dimensions of 25m width and 20m height using T-squared fire with the maximum heat release rate of 5 MW for 180 seconds. All parameters are predicted at vertical levels of 2, 13 and 17 m height from the ground floor. Results show that exhausting the smoke through rooftop exhaust fans maintains the smoke layer at a higher level from the ground and has a better effect on tenability conditions at the human level, increasing makeup air inlets levels adversely affect smoke layer height which reduces visibility at a human level. Finally, the spacing between extract fans outlet is considered a major factor that should be optimized in order to avoid the plug-holing phenomena.

13. Building a decentralized system to optimize the KYC process

This paper aims to develop a reputation-based, decentralized system using Blockchain to optimize the KYC process. The system will aim to optimize the core know-your-customer (KYC) verification process for financial corporations and improve the customer experience by reducing costs and increasing transparency of the data shared. The current KYC process costs more than $500 million for banks, most of which is spent to secure the customer's personal data. In the proposed system, the KYC verification process will only be conducted once for each customer by a validator in the Blockchain, regardless of the number of financial corporations with which that customer intends to work. Owing to Blockchain, the core KYC verification result can be securely shared by the customers with all the financial corporations that they intend to work with. This process produces a gain in efficiency, reduces cost, improves customer experience, and increases transparency throughout onboarding a customer for the financial corporation.

18. Enhance data hiding capacity and reduce variability using image steganography for smart grid

In the Smart Grid (SG) network, the sensitive data is communicated over the network and it prone to attacks. In order to overcome these attacks, security algorithms like cryptography and steganography are used. Steganography algorithms provide imperceptibility by hiding the secret data in the cover image whereas cryptography algorithms scramble the data using a private key and scramble data gives attention to the attacker. In steganography, the Least Significant Bit (LSB) is the most preferred data hiding algorithm. In the LSB algorithm, the data is split into 1-bit chunks and hide in the cover image LSB bit. The LSB algorithm provides less variability with less embedding capacity. In this paper, we have designed an algorithm that provides better embedding capacity and lesser variability. Initially, the cover pixel read is read and its intermediate bits 5th and 6th are taken as a reference to hiding k-bits of data using the LSB algorithm. The benefit of taking the intermediate bits of the cover pixel as a reference is that no need to communicate reference bits information with the receiver. After that, the LSB bit of the stego image generated after data hiding is circularly rotated in order to reduce the variability. The experimental results were performed on the standard dataset images and various performance metrics calculated for it. Lastly, the proposed algorithm is compared with the existing algorithms and found that the proposed algorithm achieves randomness and better embedding capacity.

21. Strength analysis of styrene-butadiene latex modified cement concrete

Polymer Modified Concrete (P.M.C.) has been discovered to be more potent than conventional cement because of its excellent strength and raised perseverance, so to enhance the performance, certain polymers are blended in with concrete. The impact of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (S.B.R.) over the compressive strengths, tensile strengths, and carbonation of cement has been examined in this investigation, and the ideal polymer content for concrete has additionally been resolved. This examination was attempted to decide the impacts of polymer expansion on compressive and tensile strengths utilizing concrete at nearby ambient temperature with a consistent water-cement proportion blend design. The mixes were prepared with a 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 % cement-latex ratio of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber. The fresh concrete slump test was performed while the compressive and tensile strengths were analyzed at various ages. S.B.R. latex has been appeared to have an unfavorable effect at an early age, even though applying S.B.R. latex to concrete at 28 days brings about improved compressive and tensile strength. However, the dosage of S.B.R. latex for mixtures rich in cement needs to be optimized in order to preserve the desired concrete workability.

22. Hybrid the artificial intelligence and swarm-based optimization algorithm for load forecasting in the smart grid

Electricity load forecasting algorithms are used in the smart grid to predict the electricity demand in the future. Besides that, it helps in reducing the electricity generation cost. In the literature, three types of load forecasting are done such as short-term, medium-term, and long-term. In this paper, the short term forecasting is done. The short-term forecasting algorithm predicts the electricity demand from a few hours to several weeks ahead. Due to the nonlinear, nonstationary, and non-seasonal nature of the electric load time series, accurate forecasting is challenging. In this paper, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the swarm optimization algorithm is hybrid in order to improve the prediction of load forecasting. We have considered Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithms in our work. The BPSO algorithm used to improve the learning rate in the ANN network. The experimental results were simulated in MATLAB and various performance metrics such as RMSE, MAPE, minimum and maximum error determined. The results show that the proposed algorithms provide better results as compared to the existing algorithms.

24. Analysis of concrete with using human hair as fiber-reinforced

Human hair is a waste material that is found in the bountiful sum in the day by day life. It is a typical constituent in city squander streams and causes ecological issues as it is a non-degradable waste. Fiber strengthened cement gives great flexure strength less brake improvement. Since concrete is frail in strain thus a few estimates should be embraced to defeat this insufficiency. Human hair is by and large solid in strain; henceforth it very well may be utilized as a fiber fortification material. Human hair Fiber is a choice non-degradable issue available in riches and at unassuming cost. Hair additionally diminishes ecological issues. Likewise, expansion of human hair strands upgrades the coupling properties, miniature breaking control, Imparts ductility, strength and furthermore builds expanding opposition. The exploratory discoveries in our investigations would support future examination toward the path for long haul execution to expanding this expense of powerful kind of strands for use in primary applications. The examination was led on solid 3D shapes, chambers, and light emissions size with expansion of different rates of human hair fiber i.e., 0%,0.5% 1%,1.25%,1.5%, and 2% by weight of concrete, fine and coarse aggregate, and results were contrasted and those of plain concrete cement of mid-range grade.

28. Effects of rain on cricket and the counter measures required

The purpose of this study was to examine the consequences of rain in a cricket match and examine the various methods that can be used to get a fair result in such a situation. This data includes a list of 200 matches that were affected by rain and the result shifted in favor of the losing team due to the unjust methods of resetting a target. It also includes information on how to prevent rain to influence a match and the pros and cons of the same. It suggests that interrupted matches a missing data problem the outcome of the complete match cannot be observed and the outcome of the interrupted match is observed. In particular, we consider the overall and conditional accuracy of a rain rule. Based on our study we come to know that the Duckworth lewis system, currently adopted by the ICC { International Cricket Council} is not as accurate and efficient as it doesn't include all the factors during a run chase. Therefore, through this research paper, we are going to give two alternate methods to the Duckworth- lewis method and also include various measures that can be taken to minimize the effect of rain.

29. A detailed survey and evaluation of various aspects of embedded software robustness testing

The focus of the current and future automotive, multimedia, and industrial automation systems is embedded software. The reliability of the embedded software system determines the performance of virtually every industrial application; one approach for determining a system's reliability is to measure its robustness. The aim of this paper is to provide a framework to understand the existing state-of-the-art practice in the robustness testing of built-in software systems. In robustness tests from different industrial domains, I've collected details on the state of practice on telecommunication, automotive, multimedia, critical infrastructure, aerospace, consumer products, and banking. I investigate various aspects of robustness testing, such as the general view of robustness, engineering, and design of specifications, test results, failure, and equipment. I emphasize the state of understanding of the robustness testing practice of integrated software systems. The survey outlines many ad-hoc techniques, including power failure and overload situations. Other discrepancies I found concern the classification of robustness defects, the assumed root causes of robustness defects, and the types of devices for testing robustness. This article is an initial step in the evaluation of the robustness testing practice of embedded software systems.

30. Cooperative spectrum sharing and maximization of throughput using cognitive radio

Cognitive radio is an intelligent radio which can be programmed and configured dynamically. It is widely used in spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing, environment sensing, etc. In this paper, we employ cognitive radio to harvest energy during packet transmissions using energy techniques. Energy harvesting involves two cooperation nodes: Energy cooperation mode and joint cooperation mode. In each cooperation mode, a pair of Primary Users(PUs), a pair of Secondary Users(SUs), and a cognitive radio network are used. In energy cooperation mode, secondary users transmit their own packets by harvesting energy from the primary transmission. In joint cooperation mode, Secondary users act as a relay for primary packets by using the energy harvested from the primary transmission. Further, we obtain maximum throughput by achieving a balance between energy harvesting and packet transmission.

31. Ultracapacitor circuit for solar E-vehicle

This paper proposes a new system for the storage of energy that can be used in solar e-vehicles, e-vehicles, and hybrid e-automobile. Supercapacitors are charge storage devices that look similar to batteries, have a low energy density, high power density, and exceptional life cycle. Though they have less energy capacity than the state-of-the-art batteries, however, they are able to deliver 10-100 times more powerful than the li-ion batteries. Unlike other conventional systems, this system uses just a portion of the vehicle power via a DC-DC converter. This concept is new and reduces the converter losses, helps in the complete utilization of stored energy in storage units, and gives stable DC bus voltage irrespective of the operating situations and conditions. In the proposed system a controller is added between the solar panel setup and the battery to improve performance. The aim is for a simple yet feasible way to extract and store the energy from a PV source. Here we are using buck-boost converters, i.e. SEPIC (Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter) converters which allows potential at the output to be varied as per requirement. In battery and supercapacitor circuits both energy is stored, but in the battery, chemistry is changed when it is discharged, which is not so in the case of this system.

The present paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of the metal complex of some novel 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylacetophenone substituted hydrazones. The substituted hydrazones were prepared by reacting 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl acetophenone with corresponding hydrazine, Phenyl hydrazine, and (2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine. The Copper (II) metal complexes of general formula ML2 with newly prepared hydrazone synthesized and characterized by several physiochemical techniques like UV, Infrared, 1HNMR, decomposition temperature/melting point, elemental analysis, molar conductance, and magnetic susceptibility studies. The analytical data confirmed 1:2 stoichiometry of M:L and based on the above analytical technique data suggest that each Cu (II) complexes have octahedral geometry. The conductivity data show that each one of these complexes is non-electrolytes.

41. A History of Two Cities: The Literature of Cairo and Istanbul

This paper is an effort to find out about both cities, Cairo in the Arab world and Istanbul's historical heritage, literature, and cultural horizons. Cairo and Istanbul are as ancient as Arab and Turkish ties are deeply rooted, perhaps even more so. In the Ottoman Empire, the Arabic language received significant attention from the Turks in the past and before the declaration of the Turkish Republic. In terms of the number of old Masjids and other ancient Islamic architectural sites, Cairo and Istanbul have a common history. During the reign of the Ottoman Empire, almost all of the historical sites, whether in Cairo or Istanbul, were supervised by the same sultans. However, culturally and historically, each city has its own characteristics. Though Cairo is Arab and Istanbul is not, both have many things in common in terms of civilization, culture, and history. This paper sheds light on the key issues discussed in both cities by Arab and Turkish literature.

46. The attitude of university students towards co-curricular activity: A comparative study

Each and every education process is forwarded following a particular curriculum which is one of the most vital aspects of the education system. Besides curricular activities, co-curricular activities are equally important for the smooth conduction of the teaching-learning process as well as for the all-round development of the learners. In this present study, the researchers have tried to measure the attitude of the university students towards co-curricular activities. The attitude of students (Male and Female) of different streams (Science, Arts, and Commerce) of Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Purulia residing in both rural and urban areas is the primal focus of this present study. 449 students from different streams of Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University have been randomly chosen as the sample of the study. A self-made questionnaire with 45 items has been used for the data collection. The result of the study reveals that rural students are more positive in their attitude towards co-curricular activities than urban students. But in terms of gender, no difference is found in the attitude of the students. And among the streams, art students show relatively more positive attitude than the students of science and commerce.

47. To what extent can moneylending practices in the informal credit market be considered economically efficient?

The essay aims to investigate the behaviour of rural credit markets by examining the lending mechanisms used by informal moneylenders. The first section discusses possible explanations for the significantly higher interest rates charged on loans to the poor and concludes that a combination of informational asymmetries and default incentives contribute to higher costs for lenders, a significant amount of which gets passed on to the borrowers. The following sections model the behaviour of the informal moneylending market and examine whether practices used by moneylenders to cope with the distortions in the credit market make a net contribution to economic welfare. The mechanism of credit rationing is explored as a tool for the moneylender to secure himself against strategic default and thus, precluding optimal consumer and producer surplus in the market. Similarly, the common practice of interlinkage is modelled theoretically to demonstrate its effectiveness in allowing borrowers to demand the optimal loan size thereby also maximizing lenders profit and ensuring optimal community surplus.

49. Automated User Experience Monitor (A.U.X.M)

User experience is a crucial element in any kind of software. If the user cannot easily and satisfactorily use the software, they will not be inclined to use that software. Therefore, testing the user experience of software is important. Conducting usability evaluations can be a tedious matter however since there are several steps involved in setting up even a single usability test. This relates more to scheduling meetings between the test user and the expert evaluator that will conduct the test. Although there are several commercial software that allows designers to “relive”, or observe how users use their software, there are no such products that allow usability testing to be conducted, with the role of an expert evaluator being fulfilled. This paper describes a novel approach, the Automated User Experience Monitor (AUXM) system, where usability testing can be conducted in the absence of an expert evaluator, thus eliminating the issue of setting up meetings between test users, and expert evaluators. It is a system that allows designers/developers to have their user interfaces tested for usability. The designer of the prototype screens is able to feed their designs to the system described in this paper, and then invite any number of users to test the usability of those designs. While the users perform the tasks provided to them by the designer, their emotional feedback, keystrokes, mouse clicks, and verbal utterances are recorded. The recorded data is used by the system to inform the designers what went wrong and suggest how to fix the issues in the designs. Results show that such a system is indeed possible to be implemented, and that usability analysis could be performed much easier using the system than having expert evaluators and test users meet in person. In conclusion, if the proposed approach is developed further, and refined, usability testing could change significantly in the software production industry.

51. A direct digital BPSK modulator using an active balun and buffer technology

Earlier there were many circuits that were made using buffer technologies but no such matter exists which implemented five different buffers in any modulation circuit. The whole work is been divided into 3 basic section which is active balun, a buffer circuit, and complementary switches. 77 The active balun can have relatively less loss than a passive balun. We preferred active balun in the circuit due to its gain characteristics. In our circuit active balun consists of two MOSFETs applied in source and drain. The output obtained in the common source FET will have a phase shift of 1800 with the input and the output obtained in the common gate will have a phase shift of 00 or multiple of 3600. The input signal was passed to each of the tested buffers and the switching conditions were tested on each of them. CMOS, BiCMOS, FET, common collector, and opamp circuits were used for the switching condition and were later added with the active balun for the final result. The main reason for implementing these many signals was to get more accurate and correct results in a shorter period. Based on all the simulations and parameters. In this paper, we have further worked on different buffer technologies that were not included in previous works and have got various parameters to compare them and finally conclude which one is better. Also, we calculated the rise time and fall time of the buffers to compare the spontaneously they give results. Before plotting the graph and comparing different parameters we have taken different cases and at different input values.

52. Evaluating the properties of controlled low-strength material (CLSM) using class c fly ash, GGBFS, PS sand, and quarry dust

A Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) is a highly flowable self-compacting material that is primarily composed of sand, cement, water, and other filler materials. It is principally used as a replacement for soil backfill. The purpose of this project was to optimize the mixture proportions for performance using various fillers such as Quarry Dust and PS Sand, and cementitious materials such as Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS), Fly Ash (FA), and cement. The recycling of these waste materials contributes to construction sustainability. The mixes must possess the consistency, flowability, and strength which is required for CLSM. This was achieved through trial mixing, where the derivation of new mixes was based on the performance of previous pours. To investigate the performance of the mixes derived, tests for flowability and compressive strength were carried out.

IoT plays a very beneficial role to make the city SMART. IoT is a concept that is rapidly used in this IT sector. Nowadays IoT is the most useful field in the IT sector. IoT- Internet of Things is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enable these objects to connect and exchange data. Here we study articles to analyze what is the role of IoT to make a smart city. So we identify that the major role of IoT to make a smart city. The smart city always uses a very efficient environment to establish a network to connect the devices into a system. To make a city smart we use sensors or attached sensors to detect the devices. Arun Kumar says that Nowadays, IoT is rapidly used in this time and have been enormous discussions around building smart cities in India. Sometimes, one questions always in my mind i.e. what really defines a smart city? Imagine a city that acts likes a smart city like a living organism, interacts with you, and continuously fulfilled our needs. A smart city is smart due to its inherent intelligence in dealing with its resources and environment. It makes the effective use of available “ICT”, especially the “IoT”. Here one keyword used-“inherent intelligence”, which means sensors.

54. Smart centralized attendance management system

The management of the attendance can often be a good burden on the lecturers if it is done manually. To resolve this problem, a smart and auto attendance management system is being utilized. But authentication is a crucial issue in this system. Biometrics are generally used to execute a smart attendance system. Face recognition is one of the biometric to be used. The human face is a vital authentication parameter, it has many applications in other fields such as video monitoring and CCTV footage system, access systems present indoors and network security, identification of people, electronics, and validation of identities. By using a similar framework, the problem of proxies and students being marked present even though they are not physically present can easily be solved. The important implementation steps used in this type of system are face detection and recognizing the detected face. This paper proposes a model for implementing an automated attendance management system for students of a class by making use of face recognition technique, by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).

55. Driver assistance system based on traffic sign recognition

Programmed discovery and acknowledgment of traffic signs assume a pivotal function in the administration of the traffic-sign stock. It gives an exact and opportune approach to oversee traffic-sign stock with insignificant human exertion. In the Computer Vision network, the acknowledgment and recognition of traffic signs is a well-informed issue. A larger part of existing methodologies performs well on traffic signs required for cutting edge drivers assistance and self-ruling frameworks. In any case, this speaks to a generally modest number of all traffic signs (around 50 classes out of a few hundred) and execution on the excess set of traffic signs, which are needed to take out the manual work in rush hour gridlock sign stock administration, stays an open question. In this paper, we address the issue of perceiving constantly a colossal number of traffic-sign arrangements sensible for automating traffic-sign stock organization. We receive a convolutional neural organization (CNN) approach, the Mask R-CNN, to address the full pipeline of discovery and acknowledgment with programmed start to finish learning. We propose a few upgrades that are assessed on the discovery of traffic signs and result in an improved generally speaking execution. This methodology is applied to the discovery of 200 traffic-sign classifications spoke to in our novel dataset. Results are accounted for on exceptionally testing traffic sign classifications that have not yet been considered in past works. We give a far-reaching investigation of the profound learning technique for the location of traffic signs with huge intra-class appearance variety and show beneath 3% mistake rates with the proposed approach, which is adequate for arrangement in useful uses of traffic-sign stock administration.

56. Studies on the compatibility of Ordinary Portland Cement with Polycarboxylate Superplasticisers

The addition of superplasticisers along with mineral admixtures like fly ash and slag in concrete improves the strength and workability of concrete at lesser water cement ratios. To get this benefit, the compatibility between cement and admixtures must be studied. SP’s are normally adsorbed on the cement particles and sometimes the adsorption will not be even and slightly unreliable. This is due to the clinker composition of cement and the type of SP’s used. Various combinations of materials including mineral admixtures affect the behaviour of the cement–based system and become incompatible like slump loss, delayed setting of concrete etc. In the present work, four brands of Ordinary Portland Cements are selected and is checked for its compatibility with 4 types of PCE superplasticisers available in the market using Marsh cone test. The results of these tests conducted on the cement paste is analyzed to find out the optimum dosage of superplasticiser for all the four brands. Chemical analysis and XRD analysis is done for the 4 types of cements to study the behaviour. The work concludes that the presence of MgO in ordinary portland cement affects the cement superplasticiser compatibility to greater extent.

57. Smart traffic manager: Computer vision and deep learning-based approach

In the last couple of decades, the number of vehicles has been on the road increased drastically. Hence it has become very difficult to keep track of every vehicle for traffic management and law enforcement. With the increasing number of vehicles on roads, it is getting difficult to manually enforce laws and traffic rules for smooth traffic flow. Traffic Management systems are installed on traffic signals to check for vehicles breaking the traffic rules. To automate all these processes a system is required to easily identify a vehicle. The main aim to design this system is to reduce the mishaps which occur due to reckless driving and violations of the traffic rules. The important question here is how to identify a particular vehicle, The obvious answer to this question is by using the vehicle’s registered license plate as every vehicle has a unique number through which it is easily differentiated from all the other vehicles. Vehicles in each country have a unique license number, which is written on their registered number plate. This number distinguishes one vehicle from the other, which is useful especially when both are of the same make and model. So, the basic idea will be identifying whether the two-wheeler rider is wearing a helmet or not, over speeding vehicles, zebra crossing violators, etc. Most of the tasks in this will require machine learning/deep learning models for image processing tasks. In the end, this system would be very effective to automate the hectic task of the traffic police and can be very efficient in terms to reduce the workload and manage the different tasks autonomously.

59. Profanity detection in social media text using a hybrid approach of NLP and machine learning

Profanity is socially offensive language, which may also be called cursing, cussing, swearing, or expletives. Nowadays where everything is digitally managed, there are lots of online platforms and forums which people use. If we take an example of any social media platform like Twitter, their privacy policy suggests that users cannot share or write any obscene/vulgar language on a public platform. Several corporate and research organizations discuss how such content is found and controlled, such as computer vision research has developed to detect illegal practices in public spaces, NLP has progressed to detect profanity in social media texts. However, existing profanity detection systems still remain flawed because of various factors. In this paper, we define and analyze the system which will use NLP and Machine learning approach to solve this. It is usually framed as a supervised learning problem. Generic features such as Bag-Of-Words or embeddings systematically deliver fair success in classification. Lexical resources in combination with models such as Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM); feature modeling specific linguistic constructs making it more effective in classification.

63. Stock market price prediction using Neural Networks

In this research analysis, in addition to the conventional ARIMA model, specific long short-term memory (LSTM), stacked-LSTM, and concept-based LSTM were used to calculate next day expenses. Furthermore, using our expectation, we developed two modes of transmission, different and important identity. Our database information not only includes the usual end-of-day expense and transfer modules, but also includes corporate bookkeeping insights, which are effortlessly selected and used in samples. With the regular ARIMA model, learning the next model in anticipation of the next day's stock costs, especially long short-term memory model (LSTM), stacked-LSTM, and concept-based LSTM. In addition, using our forecast, we developed two exchange procedures and developed differential and scale. Our database information not only includes regular end-of-day cost and transfer modules, but also includes corporate bookkeeping metrics, which are deliberately selected and used in samples. Bookkeeping information is considered information and cost plans for a company that no longer relies on expanding the pioneering power of the model. The effect indicates that the LSTM beats any remaining model in relation to the forecast error and shows a lot better yield in our transfer practice on different models. Besides, we found that the stacked-LSTM model does not improve the advance control over the LSTM.
