A Novel Framework on Book-Recommendation System
Authors: Harsh Kumar Singh  , Prof. Manisha Pathak  , Prof. Manish Dixit
Published: May 2024

With so many books available these days, effective book recommendation engines are crucial to pointing readers in the direction of choices that suit their interests. This paper introduces a prediction algorithm that uses user ratings to improve book recommendations. The program attempts to precisely forecast and rank the top 50 books for specific users by examining user-provided book ratings. The research methodology utilized in this study generates tailored recommendations by combining machine learning algorithms with collaborative filtering techniques. In order to provide predictions, collaborative filtering looks for trends in user behavior and preferences and compares users and books. To be more precise, the model finds books that people with similar preferences have liked by using similarity measures and user-item matrices. The effectiveness of the predictive model is evaluated using a sizable dataset of user-rated novels. The model is guaranteed to be resilient and adaptable to a large range of literary interests due to the dataset's broad scope in terms of genres, authors, and publishing years. Recall, accuracy, and precision are among the performance metrics used to assess how well the model can recommend books to readers based on their interests. The predictive model's ability to produce individualized book recommendations based on user ratings is demonstrated by the results. The model's prediction of the top 50 books is highly relevant and aligned with users' likes, which improves readers' browsing and selecting experience. The concept also exhibits scalability and flexibility, making it possible to accommodate growing book catalogs and changing customer preferences. All things considered, this work advances book recommendation systems by introducing a predictive model that uses user ratings to produce tailored recommendations. The approach improves reading enjoyment and encourages readers to become more deeply involved with books by making it easier for them to find interesting and engaging literary content..

Electrochemical Evaluation of Mg and a Mg-Al 5%Zn Metal-Rich Primers for Protection of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Alloy in NaCl
Authors: Korjenic A. , Blohm L. , Scully J.R.
Published: May 2024

High-purity magnesium and an Mg-Al 5 wt% Zn metal-rich primer (MRP) were compared for their ability to suppress intergranular corrosion (IGC) and intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in peak aged AA7075-T651 by sacrificial anode-based cathodic prevention. Tests were conducted in 0.6 M NaCl solution under full immersion. These evaluations considered the ability of the primer to attain an intermediate negative open-circuit potential (OCP) such that the galvanic couple potential with bare aluminum alloy (AA) 7075-T651 resided below a range of potentials where IGC is prevalent. The ability of the primer to achieve an OCP negative enough that the AA7075-T651 could be protected by sacrificial anode-based cathodic prevention and the ability to sustain this function over time were evaluated as a first step by utilizing a NaCl solution. The primers consisted of epoxy resins embedded with either (1) Mg flake pigments (MgRP) or (2) Mg flake pigments and spherical Al-5 wt% Zn together as a composite (MgAlRP). A variety of electrochemical techniques were used to evaluate the performance including OCP monitoring, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, diagnostic DC/AC/OCP cycle testing, and zero resistance ammeter tests with simultaneous pH measurements. Electrochemical DC/AC/OCP cycle testing in 0.6 M NaCl demonstrated that MgRP reached a suitable OCP for the cathodic protection of AA7075-T651. MgRP was an effective coating for cathodic protection but dispensed less anodic charge than the composite MgAlRP. Cross-sectional analysis demonstrated that some Mg flakes dissolved while uniform surface oxidation occurred on the remaining Mg flakes which led to impaired activation. The composite MgAlRP maintained a suitably negative OCP over time, remained activated, dispensed high anodic charge, and remained an anode in zero resistance ammeter testing. Chemical stability modeling and zero resistance ammeter testing suggest that Mg corrosion elevates the pH which dissolved aluminum oxides and hydroxide thereby activating the Al-5 wt% Zn pigments, providing a primary (i.e., Mg corrosion) and secondary process to enable superior (activation of Al-5 wt% Zn) sacrificial anode-based cathodic protection.

Published: May 2024

In this paper, the results of our research were presented into the sliding wear behaviors of reinforced epoxy composites made with 3D networked carbon fibers ornamented with nanowires of cobalt oxides (NWRs@CFs). Composites are made using the cast-in-place method. Under different normal loads and sliding velocities, these composites' wear and friction coefficient performances are assessed. Tests were performed at 400 rpm spindle speed, 10, 20, and 30 N normal load, and a duration of 300 seconds. Pure epoxy exhibits wear rates of 0.449, 0.481, and 0.501 * 10-5 mm3/Nm at 10, 20, and 30N. Conversely, 3D CFs/epoxy composites exhibit lower wear rates (0.334, 0.360, and 0.390 * 10-5 mm3/Nm) at the same pressure. The epoxy composites of NWRs@CFs wear less, measuring 2.1, 3.5, and 0.4 * 10-5 mm3/Nm under applied loads. The effects of speed on the tribological characteristics were also studied, the friction coefficients for 400, 800, and 600 rpm at 10 N. Pure Epoxy has fraction coefficients of 0.449, 0.494, and 0.552µ at 400, 800, and 600 rpm. In comparison, three-dimensional carbon fibers and epoxy composites show reduced wear rates (0.334, 0.376, and 0.304 µ) under identical loads. Epoxy composites of NWRs@CFs have friction coefficients of 0.261, 0.304, and 0.332µ. Pure epoxy has high wear, indicating less friction resistance.

Los principios de inocencia y proporcionalidad y la aplicación de la prisión preventiva en Ecuador.
Authors: Andrango-Chávez Tatiana del Rocío , Morales-Navarrete Martha Alejandra
Published: May 2024

El objetivo general de este artículo es analizar y verificar el sistema judicial ecuatoriano en relación con los desafíos que enfrenta en la aplicación de los principios de inocencia y proporcionalidad, particularmente en el contexto de la prisión preventiva. Estos principios son fundamentales para el Estado de Derecho y buscan garantizar la presunción de inocencia y la proporcionalidad en las medidas cautelares. El problema jurídico central abordado se centra en el uso excesivo y a menudo arbitrario de la prisión preventiva en Ecuador, lo cual entra en conflicto con los derechos individuales y el debido proceso legal, la legislación ecuatoriana establece que la prisión preventiva solo debe aplicarse en casos con fundamentos sólidos para evitar la fuga o el entorpecimiento de la justicia, su implementación es frecuente y, en ocasiones, carece de un proceso justo. Además, que constituye una violación de su derecho, se promueve alternativas a la prisión preventiva, como medidas cautelares menos restrictivas, en los casos en que la privación de libertad no esté debidamente justificada. En última instancia, esto contribuirá a salvaguardar los principios fundamentales del Estado de Derecho y a garantizar que el sistema judicial ecuatoriano cumpla con los estándares internacionales de justicia y derechos humanos.
