TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a bidirectional DC/DC converter that interfaces a main energy storage, an auxiliary energy storage and a DC-bus of different voltage levels, for application in hybrid electric vehicle systems.
Abstract: Abstract: This study develops a newly designed, patented, bidirectional DC/DC converter (BDC) that interfaces a main energy storage (ES1), an auxiliary energy storage (ES2), and a DC-bus of different voltage levels, for application in hybrid electric vehicle systems. The proposed converter can operate in a step-up mode (i.e., low-voltage dual-source-powering mode) and a stepdown (i.e., high-voltage dc-link energy-regenerating mode), both with bidirectional power flow control. In addition, the model can independently control power flow between any two low-voltage sources (i.e., low-voltage dual-source buck/boost mode). Herein, the circuit configuration, operation, steady-state analysis, and closed-loop control of the proposed BDC are discussed according to its three modes of power transfer.

Abstract: Abstract: In this paper, a system is introduced to manage waste in big cities effectively without having tomonitor the parts 24x7 manually. Here the problemof unorganized and non- systematic wastecollection is solved by designing an embedded IoT system which will monitor each dumpster individually for the amount of waste deposited. Here an automated system is provided for segregating wet and dry waste. A mechanical setup can be used for separating wet and dry waste into separate containers here sensors can be used for separating wet and dry. For detecting the presence of any waste wet or dry can be detected using anIR sensor in the next step for detecting wet waste a moister sensor can be used. In this process, if only IR is detected motor will rotate in the direction of the dry waste container if both the sensor detectsthe waste then it will go to the wet container. Both these containers are embedded with ultrasonic sensors at the top, the ultrasonic sensor is used for measuring distance. This makes it possible to measure the amount of waste in the containers if one of the containers is full then alert message will be sent to the corresponding personal.

TL;DR: This research proposes a robust detection mechanism that can deal with variation in age, illumination, eye and head gears, and a deep learning based feature extractor along with a classifier is adopted to augment the detection results.
Abstract: Failure of facial recognition and authentication system may lead to several unlawful activities. The current facial recognition systems are vulnerable to different biometric attacks. This research focuses on morphing attack detection. This research proposes a robust detection mechanism that can deal with variation in age, illumination, eye and head gears. A deep learning based feature extractor along with a classifier is adopted. Additionally, image enhancement and feature combination are proposed to augment the detection results. A versatile dataset is also developed that contains Morph-2 and Morph-3 images, created by sophisticated tools with manual intervention. Morph-3 images can give more realistic appearance and hence difficult to detect. Moreover, Morph-3 images are not considered in the literature before. Professional morphing software depicts more realistic morph attack scenario as compared to the morphs generated in the previous work from free programs and code scripts. Eight face databases are used for creation of morphs to encompass the variation. These databases are Celebrity2000, Extended Yale, FEI, FGNET, GT-DB, MULTI-PIE, FERET and FRLL. Results are investigated using multiple experimental setups and it is concluded that the proposed methodology gives promising results.

TL;DR: The authors proposed Universal Language Model Fine-tuning (ULMFiT), an efficient transfer learning method that can be used for any NLP activity, such as text categorization.
Abstract: Abstract: We describe approaches that are essential for fine-tuning a language model further utilized for text categorization and propose Universal Language Model Fine-tuning (ULMFiT), an efficient transfer learning method that can be used for any NLP activity. Transfer learning methods have greatly impacted computer vision, but existing approaches in NLP still require taskspecific modifications. Universal Language Model Fine-tuning, or ULMFiT, is an architecture and transfer learning method that can be applied to NLP tasks. It involves a 3-layer architecture. Three steps make up the training process: pre-training for the general language model on a text taken from Wikipedia; fine-tuning the language model on a target task; and fine-tuning the classifier on the target task. Deep learning techniques enable computers to learn and comprehend natural language, facilitating human-machine interaction. Deep learning models are often employed in medical research, from medication candidate identification to picture analysis. On text classification tasks, our method greatly surpasses the state-of-the-art (it is the most recent model incorporating the best and latest technology), reducing the error on most datasets. Furthermore, with only a few labeled examples, it can match the performanceof training on 100× more data.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used blockchain technology for the identification of actual merchandise and the detecting of faux products, which can be used to store product info and generate particular code of that product as blocks inside the database.
Abstract: Abstract: There are several fake products in the existing supply chain markets. It is necessary to have a system for end users to check all details about the product they are buying so that the customer can check if the product is genuine. In recent years, faking products play an important role in product manufacturing industries. Faking products affects the company name, sales, and profit of the organizations. Blockchain technology is used for the identification of actual merchandise and the detecting of faux products. Blockchain technology is generally a tally system that stores all the data of the deals that take place in it. The precise aspect approximately this era is that the tally we referred to is a allotted tally in a peer-to- peer community. Blockchain generation is relaxed as the facts saved once within the chain is immutable consequently any block cannot be modified or hacked. with the aid of using Blockchain era, clients or customers do no longer want to rely on users for confirmation of product authenticity and protection. Our device affords the rising generation of web use instances, and brief reaction (QR) codes offer a unique but affectable method to triumph over these faking of products. Counterfeited merchandise may be detected the use of a QR code scanner, wherein the QR code of the product is linked to the Blockchain. So, this system can be used to store product info and generate particular code of that product as blocks inside the database. It collects the precise code from the consumer and compares the code against entities within the Blockchain database. If the code matches, it will give all the information about the product otherwise no data can be outputted to the purchaser which shows that the product is fake or counterfeited.

TL;DR: In this paper , a pure convolutional neural network approach outperformed the results of other statistical methods obtained by other authors, including feature engineering, for facial expression recognition. But the results achieved did not correspond to the state of the art.
Abstract: Abstract: The use of machines to perform various tasks is ever increasing in society. By imbuing machines with perception, they will be able to perform a wide variety of tasks. There are also very complex ones, such as aged care. Machine perception requires the machine to understand the surrounding environment and the intentions of the interlocutor. Recognizing facial emotions can help in this regard. During the development of this work, deep learning techniques were used on images showing facial emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, disgust, and fear. In this study, a pure convolutional neural network approach outperformed the results of other statistical methods obtained by other authors, including feature engineering. The use of convolutional networks includes a learning function. This looks very promising for this task where the functionality is not easy to define. Additionally, the network he was evaluated using two different corpora. One was used during network training and also helped tune parameters and define the network architecture. This corpus consisted of mimetic emotions. The network that yielded the highest classification accuracy results was tested on the second dataset. Although the network was trained on only one corpus, the network reported promising results when tested on another dataset showing non-real facial emotions. The results achieved did not correspond to the state of the art. Collected evidence indicates that deep learning may be suitable for facial expression classification. Deep learning therefore has the potential to improve human-machine interaction. Because the ability to learn functions allows machines to evolve cognition. And through perception, the machine could offer a smoother response, greatly improving the user's experience.

TL;DR: In this paper , a transformer defect diagnostic approach based on an Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring sysem and ensemble machine learning (EML) is presented, which is made up of deep belief networks (DBNs), stacked denoising auto encoders (SDAs) with distinct activation functions, and relevance vector machines (RVMs).
Abstract: Abstract: Transformers are critical components of electric powersystems, yet precise fault identificationremains difficult. The study presents a novel transformer defect diagnostic approach based on an Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring sysem and ensemble machine learning (EML). The IoTbased monitoring system is divided into two parts: data measuring subsystemand a data reception subsystem. To begin, the data measuring subsystem measures transformer vibration signals, which are then relayed to the remote server via the data receipt subsystem. Then an EML is proposed that is made up of deep belief networks (DBNs), stacked denoising auto encoders (SDAs) with distinct activation functions, and relevance vector machines (RVMs). DBN sand SDAs are respectively used to extract features from the signals, and RVMs are respectively employed as classifier. In order to ensure efficient of the EML, a novel combination strategy is proposed. A transformer fault diagnosis experiment is performed

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a novel algorithm using characteristics of speckle noise and filtering methods based on Speckle Reducing Anisotropic Diffusion (SRAD) filtering, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Weighted Guided Image Filtering (WGIF), and Gradient Domain-Guided Image Filter (GDGIF).
Abstract: Abstract: Ultrasound Imaging is used to examine various organs in the Human Body. However, in the process of obtaining a Ultrasound Image, Speckle noise is generated due to backscattered echo signals. So, a noise reduction method is required. To improve the speckle noise reduction, we propose a novel algorithm using characteristics of speckle noise and filtering methods based on Speckle Reducing Anisotropic Diffusion (SRAD) filtering, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Weighted Guided Image Filtering (WGIF) and Gradient Domain Guided Image Filtering (GDGIF). The SRAD filter is exploited as a preprocessing filter because it can be directly applied to a medical US image containing speckle noise without a log-compression. The wavelet domain has the advantage of suppressing the additive noise. Therefore, a homomorphic transformation is utilized to convert the multiplicative noise into additive noise. After two-level DWT decomposition is applied, to suppress the residual noise of an SRAD filtered image, GDGIF and WGIF are exploited to reduce noise from seven high-frequency subband images and one low-frequency sub-band image, respectively. Finally, a noise-free image is attained through inverse DWT and an exponential transform

TL;DR: In this paper , a model for automatic diagnosis of 14 different diseases based on chest radiographs using machine learning algorithms was proposed. But deep learning models usually suffer from a lack of explain ability.
Abstract: Abstract: Automatic recognition of key chest X-ray results to help radiologists with clinical workflow tasks like time-sensitive triage, pneumothorax (CXR) case screening and unanticipated discoveries. Deep learning models have become a promising prediction technique with near human accuracy, but usually suffer from a lack of explain ability. Medical professionals can treat and diagnose illnesses more precisely using automated picture segmentation and feature analysis. In this paper, we propose a model for automatic diagnosis of 14 different diseases based on chest radiographs using machine learning algorithms. Chest X-rays offer a non-invasive (perhaps bedside) method for tracking the course of illness. A severity score prediction model for COVID-19 pneumonia on chest radiography is presented in this study.

TL;DR: In this article , a disease prediction based on symptoms using machine learning is proposed, where machine learning algorithms like Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and KNN are used to forecast the disease on the provided dataset.
Abstract: Abstract: Healthcare is a sector that is always changing. Healthcare professionals may find it challenging to stay current with the constant development of new technologies and treatments. As a result, the purpose of this research paper is to try and implement machine learning features in a specific system for health facilities. Knowing if we are ill at an early stage rather than finding out later is crucial. The entire process of treatment can be made much more effective if the disease is predicted ahead using specific machine learning algorithms as opposed to directly treating the patient. In this work, disease is predicted based on symptoms using machine learning. Machine learning algorithms like Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and KNN are used to forecast the disease on the provided dataset. As you can see, there are numerous potential applications of machine learning in clinical care in the areas of patient data improvement, diagnosis, and treatment, cost reduction, and improved patient safety.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present the results of a survey on the health and safety of secondary school teachers in the area, with an emphasis on the Mbooni West district.
Abstract: Abstract: Every human endeavor has a reasonable reason to be concerned about health and safety. For the safety of the teaching staff to be ensured in schools, the equipment already in place must be properly maintained, and any missing pieces must be installed in accordance with health and safety regulations. This article presents the results of a survey on the health and safety of secondary school teachers in the area, with an emphasis on the Mbooni West district. Many secondary school administrators do not take the teaching staff's suggestions for policies and procedures to reduce safety threats into account. The teaching staff finds it challenging to assume responsibility for their own safety as a result. Thus, the study aimed to determine instructors' perceptions on their responsibility in protecting workplace health and safety. All teachers and assistant principals employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Secondary Schools Board of Management were the focus of the investigation (BOM). Although survey principles were a goal of the study, they weren't accessible at the time of data collection. The descriptive research design was used for this investigation. Data was collected using a questionnaire guide, and version 20 of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used for analysis. For data display, frequency tables and charts were used. The results showed that the majority of the teaching staff did not participate in training programmers that would have given them occupational safety skills. The majority of them did not participate in discussions about workplace safety regulations. This seriously compromised the safety of instructors at work, impairing their readiness to deal with health dangers and, consequently, their overall performance. In order to integrate teachers' safety policies with the institutions strategic plans for workplace health and safety, it is advised that the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology coordinate training programmers for the teaching staff with the school administrations.

TL;DR: In this article , a control strategy for the management of power flows with solar and wind energy sources in DC micro grid is discussed, where a dedicated converter should be used to maintain the voltage of the DC connection.
Abstract: Abstract: DC loads have proliferated rapidly on the market today and DC micro grids with renewable energies are being built as a potential solution to meet the rising demand for electricity. As different energy sources such as solar, wind, fuel cell, and diesel generators can be incorporated into the DC grid, it is important to control the power flow between the sources. An attempt is made in this paper to study the hybrid system consisting a three energy sources, namely wind energy, photovoltaic power source and Battery. Each of the three energy sources is controlled so as to deliver uninterrupted power supply to the load. A control strategy for the management of power flows with solar and wind energy sources in DC micro grid are discussed. Given that voltage profile regulation is critical in a standalone system, a dedicated converter should be used to maintain the voltage of the DC connection. The battery circuit regulates DC charging voltage, while the full power is derived from Solar and Wind to power the attached DC bus charges. An algorithm is developed to manage power flow between three outlets. The algorithm is evaluated in MATLAB / SIMULINK environments for different charging conditions and variations in solar and wind energy.
