Authors: Fawad Iffath , Kumaraswamy H V
Published: May 2022

Abstract: In this paper, a new linear array configuration inspired by the two-level Nested Array concept has been proposed. The proposed geometry comprises of two Uniform Linear Arrays (ULAs) with different spacings and an additional element, this geometry results in a hole-free Difference Co-Array (DCA). In comparison to most of the existing sparse array configurations, the proposed geometry has simple closed-form expressions for the element positions and Degrees of Freedom (DoFs), also providing consecutive DoFs hence, avoiding the need for spatial interpolation. Spatially Smoothed MUltiple SIgnal Classification (SS-MUSIC) algorithm has been deployed for Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation. Numerical simulations using MATLAB are performed to exhibit the superior performance of the proposed geometry. Keywords: DOA estimation, Co-array Processing, Spatial Smoothing, Degrees of Freedom, Non-Uniform Linear Arrays

Abstract: Sun is a tremendous source which creates energy through atomic parting of hydrogen cores into helium and as a side-effect of this delivered energy in the sun oriented radiations are produced. This sun based radiation then, at that point, strikes the earth surface and how much sun oriented radiation got by earth surface is around 1367 W (watt) per square meter. These sunlight based radiations can then be utilized for a few purposes like warming, The power creation in sun oriented warming can be by utilizing level plate gatherers which ingests and moves intensity to type of a liquid (water or air). The thought for this undertaking is to manufacture a solar pump that would be utilized on ranches. Sustainable power sources that are plentiful in nature and Solar Energy source particularly, has the ability to furnish energy prerequisites with right around zero outflow. The sun powered energy is accessible in enormous amounts and no other source in sustainable power has as much potential as sun oriented energy. The sun oriented controlled water siphoning framework can be utilized in all strolls of Works anyway it is broadly used and appropriate for provincial regions that witness energy emergency circumstances. A large number of these clients are excessively far away from an electrical framework to financially tap that can be utilized as a wellspring of force or motor driven siphoning framework that will in general be profoundly costly as well as untrustworthy because of the significant expense of bought fuel, lacking support and fix capacities. The arrangement of water pumping system in GIFT is done after a few examinations of an area getting great daylight. The assignment started with a thought of utilizing mulching method under this water system framework to look at dampness contrast and water maintenance period with and without mulching. Certain assortment of yields we planted to work out measure of water a plant utilizes at a typical rate at the same time determined water system productivity of the siphon Saving and reusing of water has turned into a central issue, where a sunlight-based fueled water system framework gives a decent reinforcement to water emergencies.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: The term "heart disease" refers to any heart disease or condition that can cause heart problems. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, taking many lives each year. CVD is a group of cardiovascular diseases and includes heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other conditions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 17.9 million people worldwide die each year from coronary heart disease. If we take the example of India, every year the number of deaths due to heart disease has increased. Studies show that, from 2014 to 2019 the number of deaths from heart disease increased by 53%. Many threatening factors such as personal and work habits and genetic predisposition are major causes of heart disease. A variety of harmful habits such as smoking, alcohol and caffeine overdose, stress, and inactivity as well as other physical factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and pre-existing heart conditions are the main causes of heart disease. Over time, these harmful substances cause changes in the heart and blood vessels that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Therefore, prevention of heart disease is very important to prevent these dangerous events and other potential complications of heart disease. Machine learning is a flexible part of AI that helps predict heart disease. In this research work, we will use the UCI database with 14 attributes to predict heart disease. The main goal of this study is to use ML algorithms to improve the heart disease prediction system and to more accurately predict these diseases in patients, thereby reducing the number of deaths by alerting patients. Keywords: Heart Diseases, Classification Algorithms, Machine Learning, UCI dataset.

Authors: Padhy Avinash Kumar , Kumar N Manoj
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Compressive strength is an integral property of concrete that play a key role in the construction industry. The present works investigates the effect of triple blend of fly ash, silica fume and steel fibers on the compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of concrete. Fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) are introduced as a partial replacement for cement for various additions of steel fibers by volume of concrete. A replacement level of 0% FA with 0 %, 5%, 10%, 15% SF in place of cement for 0% addition of steel fibers by volume of concrete is used for the preparation of first set of samples. Second set of samples were prepared with the change in fly ash proportion to 20%, keeping replacement levels of SF unchanged for 0% inclusion of steel fibers and the last set of samples were prepared with 40% FA replacement percentage without any change in the replacements of SF for the same 0% steel fibers. Likewise, the same combinations of FA and SF were repeated for 0.5% and 1% steel fibers and tested for various strength results after 28 days curing. Later, it is seen that an optimum mix of 20% FA with 10% SF for 1% inclusion of steel fibers, produced the maximum compressive strength of 81.20 N/mm2 and maximum flexural strength of 8.40 N/mm2.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: Attendance management done manually in college is difficult to work with. To automate the attendance system, there are many technologies available that are costly and you have to touch the pad every time you come to the class which makes it coronavirus prone. Hence, to overcome this problem we have built a computer-based smart video attendance management system. Attendance is an important aspect of every organization or institution to confirm the presence. Some of the manual and automatic attendance systems are, entry by pen or paper, Fingerprint-based, IRIS-based, RFID-based, and face recognition. The possibility of false entry of students by fooling the system is not possible in our case. Our system can take attendance remotely by live video. In this system, all frames are separated from the video. To recognize the face of any student human face detection and pre-conization steps are taken. Our model helps to manage the attendance of students in a live stream. Keywords: Automate, Detecting, Learning, OpenCV, Recognizing, Video.
Survey on Phishing Websites Detection using Machine Learning
Authors: Raju Mr. B Ravi , likhitha S Sai , Deepa N , Sushma S
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Phishing is a widespread method of tricking unsuspecting people into disclosing personal information by using fake websites. Phishing website URLs are designed to steal personal information such as user names, passwords, and online banking activities. Phishers employ webpages that are visually and semantically identical to legitimate websites. As technology advances, phishing strategies have become more sophisticated, necessitating the use of anti-phishing measures to identify phishing. Machine learning is an effective method for combating phishing assaults. This study examines the features utilised in detection as well as machine learning-based detection approaches. Phishing is popular among attackers because it is easier to persuade someone to click on a malicious link that appears to be legitimate than it is to break through a computer's protection measures. The malicious links in the message body are made to look like they go to the faked organisation by utilising the spoofed organization's logos and other valid material. We'll go through the characteristics of phishing domains (also known as fraudulent domains), the qualities that distinguish them from real domains, why it's crucial to detect them, and how they can be discovered using machine learning and natural language processing techniques. Keywords: Phishing, personal information, machine learning, malicious links, and phishing domain characteristics are all terms that come up when people think of phishing

Constant and Green Mode Operation Technique in Flyback and Push-Pull DC-DC Converter
Authors: J M Sachin , G S Anitha
Published: May 2022

Abstract: The high frequency switching causes switching losses and reduces the efficiency of converters. Therefore, operating the DC-DC converters with lower frequencies at light loads reduces the switching losses significantly. Variable frequency switching is generally defined as Green mode operation. The green mode control method is obtained from high efficiency over the entire load range. This method is also called variable frequency control and it changes the switching frequency according to the load condition. At full load conditions, the controller increases the switching frequency to decrease switching ripple and ripple-related conduction loss. When the load decreases, the controller decrease switching frequency to diminish switching loss and increase switch life cycle. In this paper, the flyback and push-pull converter topologies are simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and the results obtained from the variable switching converter are compared with the results obtained from constant switching frequency. Keywords: Green Mode Operation, Flyback Converter, Push-Pull Converter, Variable Switching Frequency, Constant Switching Frequency.

important strategy, but there is limited knowledge about mutual
pharmacokinetic interactions. In the present study, we assessed the
impact of clozapine on sertraline plasma concentrations. Methods: Based
on a therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) database, sertraline plasma
concentrations were compared between two groups: patients receiving a
combined treatment with sertraline and clozapine (SERTCLZ; N=15) and a
matched control group receiving sertraline but no clozapine (SERT;
N=17). Group differences with respect to raw and dose-adjusted plasma
concentrations were assessed using non-parametric tests. Results: No
significant differences were found between the groups regarding daily
dosage of sertraline, age, weight, sex distribution, and caffeine or
nicotine consumption (all p-values >0.05). Co-medication
with clozapine was associated with 67% lower median sertraline plasma
concentrations (16 vs. 48 ng/mL; p=0.022) and 28% lower median
dose-adjusted plasma concentrations (C/D; 0.21 vs. 0.29 (ng/mL) /
(mg/day); p=0.049) as compared to the control group. Conclusion: When
applying a combined treatment with clozapine and sertraline, clinicians
should consider therapeutic drug monitoring to confirm therapeutically
effective plasma concentrations of sertraline.

The objective of this study is to report the complete genome sequence of
a field African swine fever virus (ASFV) causing a fatal outbreak in
domestic pigs in the Mekong delta, namely ASF/VN/CanTho-OM/2021 (GenBank
accession number: ON402789). The complete genome sequencing detected an
18-bp nucleotide deletion in the EP402R gene (encoding for
serotype-specific proteins CD2v) of ASF/VN/CanTho-OM/2021 which is
determined to belong to the genotype 2 and serotype 8. This mutation
pattern was confirmed as unique in the GenBank; thus,
ASF/VN/CanTho-OM/2021 can be considered as a novel variant with
potential change of sero-characteristics within the genotype 2.
Additional unique mutation of 78-bp nucleotide insertion was also
observed in the B475L gene. Besides, four copies of tandem repeats
sequences were found in the intergenic gene (IGR) located between I73R
and I329L that is previously assigned as the IGR III variant. This study
is the first to report the complete genome of ASFV in the Mekong delta
and highlights the necessity for strengthening of molecular surveillance
in order to provide further knowledge on evolution and incursion of ASFV
in the Mekong delta and Vietnam.
Quantitative principle of shape-selective catalysis for a rational screening of zeolites for methanol-to-hydrocarbons
Authors: Gao Mingbin , Li Hua , Yu Junyi , Ye Mao , Liu Zhongmin
Published: May 2022

The production of hydrocarbons for the synthesis of readily available
energy and multifunctional materials is of great importance in modern
society. Zeolites have proven to be a boon for the targeted regulation
of specific hydrocarbon as shape-selective catalyst in converting carbon
resources. Yet our mechanistic understanding and quantitative
description of shape-selectivity of zeolite catalysis remains rather
limited, which restricts the upgrade of zeolite catalysts. Herein, we
proposed quantitative principle of shape-selectivity for zeolite
catalysis using methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) as model. Combining with
molecular simulations and infrared imaging, we unveil the competition of
thermodynamic stability, preferential diffusion and favored secondary
reactions between different hydrocarbons within zeolite framework are
the essence of zeolite shape-selective catalysis. Notably, we provide
methodology to in silico search for the optimal combination of framework
topology and acidity properties of zeolites with operating conditions
that potentially outperform commercial MTH catalysts to achieve high
selectivity of desired hydrocarbon products.

Published: May 2022

Ozonation of cornstarch at pH 13 was performed using a semi-batch
reactor to analyse the influence of a continuous ozone-oxygen gas flow
(40 NL/h) at different ozone concentrations (0-42.30 g/Nm3) and
temperatures (20-60ºC). A pseudofirst-order kinetic model was proposed
to elucidate the reaction mechanisms associated with ozone at high pH
conditions. The radical concentration remains constant and proportional
to the ozone continuous dose, being a non-limiting factor independent of
temperature (activation energy 14.2-14.5 KJ/mol). The oxidation kinetic
of starch was studied monitoring the Chemical Oxygen Demand, finding a
reduction in ozone concentration when both temperature and time
increased (activation energy 8.1 KJ/mol). Therefore, the model proposed
for the starch ozonation at high alkaline solutions provides a better
understanding of the oxidation processes of common product additives
such as starch, also making it possible to determine the environmental
impact of such solutions by Chemical Oxygen Demand measurement.

Authors: Ahmed Syed Saad , Khan Muhammad Mumtaz , Khan Essa
Published: May 2022

With the growing footmark of Chinese MNCs around the globe, the management of the host country employees has been a new challenge on the horizon. The study aims to understand the human resource management and cross-cultural practices and challenges faced by Chinese companies across the border. This cross-sectional and exploratory study used semi-structured interviews and focus groups for the data collection. The respondents were Chinese managers from Chinese companies and Chinese cultural centres working in Pakistan. This study used thematic analysis with triangulation of sources and methods. This study found culture as a key theme affecting all the emerging human resource management themes. Chinese companies working in Pakistan use informal social networks in addition to traditional applicant recruitment methods. Cultural training is common along with technical training in particularly state-owned Chinese enterprises. Although in many Chinese companies, the parent country nationals fill top positions, local employees could be seen working in the top tier management of some Chinese companies. The Chinese companies’ management practices have not been paid much attention to in this region. This study enables us to develop deep insights into Chinese companies’ human resource management practices and challenges. This research also contributes to the literature on international human resource management and cross-cultural management.
FDI, Economic Growth and Environmental Quality in the Nigerian Economy: New Evidences from System GMM
Authors: Hammed Yinka Sabuur , Arawomo Omosola
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the effect of foreign direct investment through economic activities on the environmental quality of the Nigerian economy by using annual data from 1981 to 2020. Our estimation of the simultaneous equation model was done through system GMM where we estimate the scale, technique and composition effects of foreign direct investment. Our results reveal that foreign direct investment improves economic activities through the scale effect and damages the environmental quality through technique and composition effects. The contribution of physical and human capital investment becomes more prominent in attracting direct investment inflow in the country. This however suggests that our institution should be strengthened to ensure the adoption of technology that poses little harm to the environment in the production process by the investors. Also, more investment should be made in physical and human capital in the country to attract more overseas investment.

Authors:   Daugavpils University, Davidova Jeļena
Published: May 2022

At the present stage of education development, new competencies are being put forward, which requires serious changes in teacher training. In the context of holistic and social constructivist approaches to the process of the development of students’ creativity and self-expression across musical activity, music teacher’s social-emotional competence has become especially relevant nowadays, which, in turn, puts forward the need to revise and strengthen the psychological and managerial aspects in the content of the training of a future music teacher. Objective of the study: psychological and managerial aspects of music teachers’ social-emotional competence. Aim of the study: to investigate psychological and managerial aspects of music teacher’s social-emotional competence in the content of music teacher training programs according to social and emotional goals in modern music education. Analysing European documents and scientific works of the last decades, as well as data from focus group (11 music teachers) discussions in which Latvian music teachers participated, the main results of the study are: a) social and emotional goals in modern music education; b) psychological and managerial aspects in competence profile of music teacher. Author concluded that due to global changes in society, philosophy and humanitarian sciences, the field of education needs to be transformed, including the content and process of teacher training. For creation of a positive and supportive emotional environment in the classroom, it is necessary to include music teachers’ curriculum a) live musical communication; b) building an understanding about the value of music as cultural heritage of family, community and the nation as a whole; c) psychological and managerial basis in support of cooperation between teacher and students as equal partners in musical, research and other kinds of activity.
Evaluation and Students’ Self-assessment of Transversal Skills in Secondary School Mathematics. Case Study in Latvia
Authors:   University of Latvia, Lāma Gatis
Published: May 2022

To provide qualitative and sustainable education school reforms are taking place in many countries around the world. The transition to competence-based learning also alters expectations for learning outcomes. To ensure student-centred learning, it is necessary to equip them with transversal skills required to: address subject content challenges, use different teaching and learning methods; address everyday life problems. The aim of the study is to assess students' transversal skills in secondary school mathematics. There were 50 participants in the study, who ware all studying mathematics at an in-depth level. Transversal skills were measured in action with a test as well as with student self-assessment. While test results showed that students excel in interpretation skills, collaboration skills and digital skills, analyzation skills tested at high levels in students’ self-assessment. There is no strong correlation between student self-assessment and student performance evaluated by test. Consequently, it can be concluded that the overall development of transversal skills in secondary school mathematics are sufficient, but it is necessary to understand the inconsistency between self-assessment and performance evaluated by test so that the factors affecting the development of transversal skills can be further analysed.

Published: May 2022

Objective: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) was recently reclassified into Severe Insulin Deficient Diabetes (SIDD), Severe Insulin Resistant Diabetes (SIRD), Mild Obesity-related Diabetes (MOD), and Mild Age-Related Diabetes (MARD), which have different risk of complications. We explored whether DNA methylation differs between these subgroups and if subgroup-unique methylation risk scores (MRSs) predict diabetic complications. 

Methods: Genome-wide DNA methylation was analysed in blood from newly diagnosed T2D subjects in discovery and replication cohorts. Subgroup-unique MRSs were built including top subgroup-unique DNA methylation sites. Regression models examined whether MRSs associated with subgroups and future complications. 

Results: We found epigenetic differences between the T2D subgroups. Subgroup-unique MRSs were significantly different in those patients allocated to each respective subgroup compared to the combined group of all other subgroups. These associations were validated in an independent replication cohort, showing that subgroup-unique MRSs associate with individual subgroups (OR 1.6-6.1 per 1SD increase, p<0.01). Subgroup-unique MRSs were also associated with future complications. Higher MOD-MRS was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular (HR=0.65, p=0.001) and renal (HR=0.50, p<0.001) disease, whereas higher SIRD-MRS and MARD-MRS were associated with increased risk of these complications (HR 1.4-1.9 per 1SD increase, p<0.01). 39 of 95 methylation sites included in subgroup-unique MRSs were annotated to genes previously linked to diabetes-related traits, including TXNIP and ELOVL2. Methylation in blood of 18 subgroup-unique sites mirror epigenetic patterns in tissues relevant for T2D, muscle and adipose tissue. 

Conclusions: We identified differential epigenetic patterns between T2D subgroups, which associated with future diabetic complications. These data support a reclassification of diabetes and the need for precision medicine in T2D subgroups.
