Convolutional Neural Network Models and Optimization Design for Edge Computation
Authors: Liu Buwen
Published: July 2023

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been widely implemented to conduct artificial intelligence (AI) projects. Because of its various advantages, CNN plays a significant role in daily applications of AI like automatic driving, semantic segmentation, face identification etc. However, as the application scope expands, many conventional CNN modules met their obstacles, most essential of which is the high memory consumption and abundant computation source expense. For edge computation areas like embedded system and other source or power supply limited devises, many of the CNN modules are unacceptable. From another point of view, not all the time does CNN need to do full precision calculation. To explore more possibility of CNN, low-precision computation and binary neural network (BNN) which occupy less resources than traditional CNN are proposed. The central computation of CNN is multiply-accumulates (MACs), so any advanced architecture designs should base on the acceleration of MAC. Benefiting from customizable data width, reconfigurable logic resources and low power consumption, FPGA is an appealing platform to implement low-precision computation and BNN. The development history and applications of CNN and its limitations was introduced. Comparison was made of different platforms to implement CNN and specific designs of low-precision computation conducted on FPGA. The contemporary accelerating platforms for FPGA which are technically designed to decrease the energy consumption, latency and facilitate performance were reviewed.

Authors: Huang Lanqin
Published: July 2023

Image classification plays a crucial role in image recognition in present times. Researchers have developed numerous methods for achieving image classification through long-term research. Deep Learning, as one of the most important methodologies, is used to clarify the contents of an image. This paper provides an overview of four typical deep learning neural networks used for image classification, including conventional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), and deep neural networks (DNN). The architecture, function, and applications of each network are discussed and compared. CNN is commonly used for image recognition, while RNN is suitable for speech recognition, natural language processing, and time series forecasting. DNN is ideal for handling high-dimensional data, and GAN can generate new data samples. The StyleGAN is introduced as an application of GAN, which can produce high-quality images. Finally, the future work and challenges in image recognition are discussed.
Casting process design of high pressure and heat resistant steam chamber casting
Authors: Sun Junhao
Published: July 2023

This paper is about the casting process of high pressure and heat resistant steam chamber casting. The castings are made of ZG15Cr2Mo1. The internal and external quality requirements of the casting are demanding. There are many grade 0 and grade 1 defect areas in castings, which requires that these positions should not have shrinkage cavity and porosity and other defects.This casting scheme includes the design scheme of modeling, modeling material selection, coating selection, parting surface and casting system establishment, process parameters establishment, sand core design, casting riser design, cold iron design and so on. By using AnyCasting and MAGMA to simulate and predict the feasibility of the casting process scheme, a more appropriate casting process design scheme was finally determined to ensure the density of the casting metal at the flaw detection site, and eliminate the defects of shrinkage porosity and porosity of the casting, so as to ensure the requirements of leakage of the casting in practice, and make the casting meet the defect rating. At the same time, the production rate of the scheme is relatively high, which can reduce the production cost.

Salary Grades Prediction Using Machine Learning
Authors: Liu Xiaotian
Published: July 2023

According to the reference, big data is the kind of data with a great amount of capacity that cannot be analysed with the traditional database system. And the process of analysing big data helps in discovering significant hidden patterns and other regularities. Thus, machine learning algorithms are introduced to replace conventional methods in big data analysis. In this essay, the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is applied to analyse the salary classification dataset by calculating the impact of all features in annual wage and doing the prediction based on these results. Sense for companies looking for new employees, a reasonable wage can be provided referring to their personal conditions. While for jobhunters, this prediction process can help estimate is the salary provided is worth it or not. Compared to other machine learning methods, the accuracy of SVM can be over 80% or even 90% in classification missions with both low and high-dimensional data. Additionally, varieties of kernel functions can be qualified for specific tasks. However, the running efficiency would decrease as the amount of data for training increases. And the data needs a stricter normalization step to ensure that the result would not be affected by the errors in the dataset, which could be costly. The prediction results can also be harder to interpret in the end.

Sinais de pontuação em peças publicitárias impressas no mesmo jornal em dois tempos
Authors: Kleppa Lou-Ann , Damasceno Gisele Maciel , Castro Álany Malafaia de
Published: July 2023

Este é um estudo comparativo em que examinamos os sinais de pontuação em peças publicitárias impressas publicadas no jornal local Alto Madeira (de Porto Velho, RO) tanto nos anos 40 e 50 como nos anos 2000. Nosso objetivo é acompanhar as mudanças ocorridas no uso dos sinais de pontuação ao longo do tempo. Não há, na Linguística, um referencial teórico consolidado que dê conta dos sinais de pontuação, portanto tomamos as formalizações de Nunberg (1990), Dahlet (1995 a 2006), Crystal (2015) e Bredel (2020) como referência. Definimos que as peças publicitárias no jornal apresentam uma imagem que não seja a mera ilustração do produto anunciado. Como os corpora coletados para cada época resultaram desiguais, optamos por focar nos sinais de pontuação finalizadores, já que o número de sinais finalizadores podia ser dividido pelo número de sentenças nas peças publicitárias. Os resultados apontam para uma mudança nos modos de pontuar, de maneira que o ‘formato de lista’ se consolida nos anos mais recentes. O volume de texto diminui nos anos mais recentes e a organização do espaço da peça publicitária passa a ser regida por critérios gráficos (fonte, cor, tamanho etc.), não mais critérios textuais (parágrafos).

Authors: Sarate Kerolyn , Görski Edair Maria
Published: July 2023

Os objetivos deste artigo são i) refletir sobre a relação entre diferentes instâncias do gênero discursivo e estilo, bem como sobre a multifuncionalidade e formas da perífrase ir + Inf; e ii) ilustrar essas reflexões com uma análise de caráter estilístico-funcional. Numa perspectiva funcionalista (TRAUGOTT, 2001) e discursiva (BAKHTIN, 2011a), foram analisadas 12 dissertações de mestrado das áreas de Linguística, Direito e Matemática, e os principais resultados mostram que i) tanto a perífrase “ir (presente) + Inf” como “ir (futuro) + Inf” ocorrem, na grande  maioria das dissertações, como variantes na função de tempo futuro do presente; ii) as áreas de conhecimento exibem particularidades de uso; iii) a subfunção metadiscursiva pode ser vista como característica do gênero; e iv) os(as) autores(as) nem sempre seguem a média de usos das respectivas áreas, mostrando estilos individuais seja quanto às formas, seja quanto às (sub)funções. Conclui-se que o estilo permeia todas as instâncias do gênero, na tensão entre a regularidade e a singularidade; a agência do sujeito pode interferir na relativa estabilidade do gênero; formas e funções (e suas correlações) são recursos mobilizados no acabamento estilístico-composicional do gênero.

Published: July 2023

The vast territory of Indonesia makes Indonesia rich in various foods. However, the irony is that the distribution of staple foods such as rice does not fully reach remote areas in Indonesia. This resulted in rice prices soaring and difficult to obtain. People don't care and try to switch to rice substitute foods such as bread, noodles, corn and other foods. This study aims to determine what factors influence the change in food habits from rice to non-rice. The research was conducted in Tanjung Pasir Village, Sei Merah Village, Lubuk Kertang Village, which is in Pangkalan Susu District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The research model used is a descriptive quantitative research model. The data analysis used was Stuctural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis assisted by AMOS 20.0 software. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire instrument. The results of this study indicate that the factors of social access and public facilities influence changes in people's consumption patterns towards non-rice foods. The conclusion is that people in this area are experiencing diversification, changing consumption patterns to non-rice foods. The community prefers to look for food, especially for breakfast, to the stalls to look for non-rice foods such as bread, instant noodles, some corn and cassava. The reasons are: 1) The education factor can change people's food habits because it has an impact on the difficulty of getting a decent job, the quality of life is below standard, one of which is the difficulty to get rice; 2) The location of the market which is far away and difficult to access has resulted in soaring rice prices and this is one of the problems with public facilities; 3) The natural condition of the coast which lacks the availability of clean water and also poor sanitation makes it difficult for housewives to cook food at home.

Published: July 2023

This meta-synthesis attempts to identify the stresses concerning college students' blended-learning environments and to synthesize the coping strategies they use to deal with stress in various cultural contexts. Out of 200 initial studies gathered using the Publish or Perish software, 50 articles were included. The selected studies were organized using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram. Using Braun and Clarke’s six-step thematic analysis, the synthesized data were analyzed which have emerged three themes, namely: concerns, challenges, and coping mechanisms. Results indicated that students' stress levels, whether in a face-to-face or hybrid setting, negatively impacted their academic performance. The lack of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, restricted computer access, and spending a lot of time on screen make students more anxious. The rapid transition from face-to-face involvement to a blended learning environment negatively influences their perception of their academic efforts. It is recommended that various actions should be considered to lessen students’ stress and enhance the online learning process.

Published: July 2023

Objective: Surgical trauma causes serious neuroendocrine and cytokine activity. In addition, the free oxygen radicals formed because of the ischemia/reperfusion injury resulting from applying and releasing the tourniquet (TQ) cause oxidative stress. Thiol and disulfide are among the new oxidative stress parameters used reliably in recent years. The aim of this study was to compare thiol-disulfide balance in general and spinal anesthesia, which are frequently used in total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Methods: Fifty six patients aged 60-74 years scheduled to undergo TKR were randomly allocated to the general anesthesia (n=26) and spinal anesthesia (n=30) groups. The tourniquet (TQ) was applied for the TKR procedure after collecting a preanesthetic blood sample (T1). Blood samples were also collected at 5 minutes (T2) and 40 minutes (T3) after TQ release and at postoperative 24 hours (T4) to analyze native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol ratio, disulfide/total thiol ratio, and native thiol/total thiol ratio. All patients had intravenous patient-controlled analgesia during the postoperative period. Mean arterial pressure, TQ times, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were recorded. Decrease in thiol and increase in disulfide in the thiol-disulfide balance were recorded as oxidative stress indicators. Results: There was no difference between the groups in terms of VAS and analgesic consumption at the end of 24 hours. The general anesthesia group had higher native thiol, total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol ratio and lower disulfide, disulfide/native thiol ratio, and disulfide/total thiol ratio at all time points compared to the spinal anesthesia group. Conclusion: Assessment in terms of thiol-disulfide balance suggests that general anesthesia had a favorable effect on oxidative stress. Keywords: General anesthesia, oxidative stress, spinal anesthesia, thiol-disulfide, tourniquet time, visual analogue scale

Many businesses now rely on cloud environments for both personal and corporate use due to the industry's expanding trend of constantly improving technology. The on-demand, pay-as-you-go delivery of IT resources through the internet is known as cloud computing. This indicates that the user just needs to make payments based on how much they use. In layman's terms, it refers to the idea of using the Internet to rent the processing power and storage capacity of a computer from another location. Users can get technology services like computing power, storage, and databases from a cloud provider on a pay-as-you-need basis rather than purchasing and maintaining their own physical data centers and servers. Our object of this article is to peer-review and examines numerous cloud tools, applications, and more to decide which is the best choice for both individual users and businesses. We have investigated the advantages that cloud computing offers.

Published: July 2023

IT Governance frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL, and ISO have become the most important guidelines for IT Governance (ITG). These frameworks are used by organizations as a tool to evaluate their own ITG systems and to help the IT managers to bridge any gaps between the technical issues, business risks, and control requirements. The main objective of the research is to study the various IT governance frameworks used by the organizations and the challenges they face in compliance with the IT Governance framework, and the steps taken to overcome these challenges in the UAE. This objective was achieved by using a quantitative approach through a questionnaire felt by a sample of IT executives or IT professionals working at different private and public organizations in the UAE. The results of the study discovered that most of the organizations use ITIL and ISO as their preferred choice of the ITG framework, and the major challenge faced by the organizations in compliance with the ITG frameworks is the lack of people’s acceptance which overcomes by training people using tools and systems with the frameworks used in the organizations. This study provides useful information for future researchers to understand the challenges in implementing the ITG frameworks and how to overcome them in the context of the private and public sectors in the UAE.

Authors: Naseem Tahir , Haleema Bano
Published: July 2023

In this research work, our aim is to explore the need and area in which colleges should be given autonomy so that the role of colleges in higher education can increase in terms of quality education. One fifty teachers (seventy five male and seventy five male) from thirty cluster colleges were chosen randomly from a population of 1500 teachers. Data was collected through a questionnaire developed by researchers. We analyzed the data using a statistical approach, calculating frequencies and percentages. The results show that a vast majority of college teachers are in favor of academic and evaluation autonomy. It follows that autonomy for colleges in the areas of academic and evaluation is required to help improve the quality of higher education. After the detailed analysis of the statistical data and keeping in view all the educational policies, the comprehensive work plan for the establishment of autonomous colleges is proposed.

Published: July 2023

The Bodoland Territorial Region is an important part of North-Western Assam. The Bodoland Territorial Region have been blessed with mesmerizing natural resources. The Bodoland Territorial Region is also blessed with traditional knowledge, cultural and pilgrimage sites too. Though the region is rich in terms of tourism industry, the region is still not properly explored yet. Due to lack of proper government attention and lack of local community involvement, this region is unexplored till date. The tourism industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It generates employment opportunities and earns foreign exchanges. Nowadays, Religious tourism is one of the important parts of the tourism industry for most of the part of the world, especially for the countries like India. In Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), religious tourism is in a very initial stage of development. It needs more attention from the tourism department of the state and similarly from the central government to improve its facilities for the tourist or devotees who visits the sites. This paper attempts to highlight various potentialities related to religious tourism in the Bodoland Territorial Region of Assam.

A REVIEW ON FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WITH PRESTRESSED NEAR SURFACE MOUNTED CFRP LAMINATE
Authors: R Karthik
Published: July 2023

Reinforced structures are subjected to tremendous loading, which causes early deterioration, and replacing RC structures on before the end of intended life is prohibitively expensive. The application of fiber- reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to strengthen damaged structural components is obtaining favour in the construction industry because to their better strength, durability, and compatibility with reinforced concrete structures during usage. The main purpose of this research is to examine the existing performance, problems, and further potential of CFRP-strengthened reinforced concrete structural member under various loading circumstances. FRP reinforcement outperforms in static, dynamic, and harsh environmental criteria. The most typical type of failure in reinforced beams are debonding, separation of concrete cover, and FRP rupture. Acceptance and usage of FRP in RC structure strengthening will increase further as new techniques for utilising the full strength of FRP, reducing brittleness, fire risk and damages due to accident, lowering energy consumption and during production emission of carbon, and finally reducing the initial cost are developed. This report identifies knowledge gaps as well as promising research topics for FRP- strengthened structures. Keywords: Flexural strengthening, NSM, CFRP strip, Prestressed, Failures.
INVESTIGATION OF OFFSHORE DC STATION WITH DISTRIBUTED POWER COLLECTION AND CASCADED BOOSTING-VOLTAGE TOPOLOGY: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
Authors: KRISHNA KOLUPAKA HARI
Published: July 2023

In order to collect DC power and boost DC voltage for offshore DC stations, the present research uses a distributed power- collection and cascaded boosting voltage (DPCB) topology made up of several cascaded single active bridges (SABs). In contrast, HVDC stations use the conventional concentrated power-collection and boosting voltage (CPCB) framework. It has high DC voltage boosting powers, is simple to build, is affordable, and offers a low system error rate. The next three variables are looked at. After first determining the DPCB topology with its circuit equations, the phase-shifting control approach is applied to further investigate the operational mechanism. The system minimal signal model is then used to construct a fuzzy control strategy. Third, a fault tolerance strategy with projected power ratio is developed to stop the DPCB station from failing if part of the SABs and generators fail. A significant power differential exists due to windward and wind turbine siting factors. The viability and efficacy of the designed DPCB station with its strategy are finally validated using simulation findings.INDEX TERMS: - SAB, fault tolerance, distributed power collecting, cascaded boosting voltage, and topology.
