Authors: Abubakar Muhammad Abbagoni , Gutti Babagana , Abubakar Abdulhalim Musa
Published: August 2023

Stevia (Rebaudiana bertoni) leave is an ancient perennial shrub mostly found in South America (especially Brazil and Paraguay). It contains a low-calorie sweetener, which is about 300 times sweeter than sucrose. Natural sweeteners extracted from plant and artificial or synthetic sweeteners produced from industires, are the two types of sweeteners that are available. Sweetening agents induce and enhance sweet taste which makes it favorable for consumption. Natural sweetening agents are more advisable to use than artificial sweetening agents because they do not have any side effect and is of no harm to health. In this work, the background of stevia leave, uses, and extraction of natural sweetener is reviewed.

Authors: Assian Ubong Edet , Olosunde William Adebisi , Antia Okon Orua
Published: August 2023

In an attempt to shorten the computational procedure to estimate actual rotor speed for any given nut exit impinging velocity in a centrifugal nutcracker; a Monograph was developed using experimental data, analytical, and systematic approaches. The result showed that direct reading of actual rotor disc speed in rpm corresponding to any chosen nut exit velocity from any given rotor disc radius was achieved based on theoretical rotor speed. T-test comparing actual rotor disc speeds in rpm from the Monograph and model Equation 12 showed no statistically significant difference at 5% level of probability. Therefore, the developed Monograph is reasonably good for predicting the actual rotor disc speed in rpm required during nut cracking operation in a centrifugal nutcracker.

Published: August 2023

In India, power plant requirement is rapidly increasing as non-conventional sources are in current need. Government financial aid plays important role for generator plant execution because of its tedious procedure.  If the utilization of wind power production has to be doubled, then machines, turbines and converters are essential in two numbers. The research work includes parallel connection of two machines using star-delta-star transformer fashion resulting in six-phase permanent synchronous machine. This arrangement is more economical as the number of converters are reduced thereby increasing the efficiency by minimizing the switching losses. Initially rectifier setup is used wherein high frequency AC is converted to low frequency and maximum power point tracking is done with the aid of a converter. It is DC-DC conversion by decoupled DQ strategy. Later, it is again converted back to three phase AC so as to synchronize it to the grid. The system response is analysed by conventional PI controller by reducing the noise in the real & reactive power generation. Further, ANFIS-PI controller is implemented to improve the response of PI controller which is much essential for wind power generation. The MATLAB simulated results of PI controller system response and ANFIS-PI controller is presented in this paper.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this paper is to examine the buyers’ perception towards life insurance policies offered by the public and the private sector organizations while focusing on some important factors viz. knowledge, information, awareness, literacy and views about life insurance policies among buyers. This paper is an attempt to investigate the overall perception of the life insurance buyers targeting pre and post buying behavior. This research study was surveyed on a variety of buyers of Indore city (Madhya Pradesh) based on various demographic factors. The research findings revealed that still people do not pay due importance to life insurance policy, they prefer other financial instruments, such as- bank deposit, mutual funds, stock market and some others. The study also found that the policies which are propagated by agents, and endorsed by organizations, have been in higher demand. The buyers treated life insurance as an investment and tax saving instrument instead of risk coverage instrument. The buyers have less knowledge, information and literacy about life insurance. The views of illiterate people were not contingent due to technical issues such as, physical absence of inquirers, language problem, pre-inquiry orientation, etc. If those were contingent to admit, the result would have been more valuable.

Authors: Kishor Ranjan
Published: August 2023

This paper delves into the challenges faced by universities in preserving students' evaluations and academic records securely. These records are crucial not only for validating academic qualifications but also for analyzing and implementing meaningful reforms. However, the prevalence of corruption and fraudulent activities in university results necessitates robust security measures to prevent tampering or deletion of such sensitive data. The paper explores the potential of using blockchain technology and smart contracts to address this security and trust issues in managing students' evaluations. By leveraging the inherent characteristics of blockchain, such as immutability, transparency, and decentralization, smart contracts offer a secure and reliable solution for data management. Smart contracts act as autonomous agreements, facilitating direct interaction between exam administrators and students without intermediaries, thereby reducing vulnerabilities associated with third-party involvement. Implementing blockchain-based smart contracts brings various benefits, including cost and timesaving. Students maintain full control over their data thanks to emerging technologies like blockchain. Data stored in blockchain networks is organized into linked blocks, and validators ensure the authenticity and integrity of each block through cryptographic hash codes. Furthermore, the decentralized nature of blockchain ensures that data is distributed across the network, minimizing the risk of single points of failure and enhancing overall system security. With consensus mechanisms and mathematical operations, blockchain-based smart contracts provide transparent records of completed operations, often referred to as decentralized ledgers. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the potential of blockchain-based smart contracts in strengthening information security and trust in university systems. This innovative technology can safeguard student evaluations from tampering, fraudulent activities, and unauthorized access. By adopting such solutions, universities can not only enhance data security but also streamline administrative processes and foster a culture of trust within academic institutions. As blockchain gains wider acceptance, exploring these transformative solutions becomes essential for ensuring a more successful educational environment.

Authors: Fathima Azha
Published: August 2023

As we are leaving in 5G era which promises us to give high throughput rate, better efficiency rate, and high bandwidth etc as its feature make headlines to give advanced and enhanced services in various sector whether it could be IOT, infrastructure, agriculture, and health care [1]. Giving well-grounded communication technology possesses a fundamental challenge for 5G system in both Core network and Radio Access Network (RAN) levels [2]. To get a better credibility at RAN level, base station (EnodeB or gNodeB in 4G and 5G respectively) should allocate proper amount of resource as per UE and select appropriate Modulation and scheme (MCS) to give better user experience. The amount of Physical Resource Blocks is directly proportional to channel condition at the User Equipment (UE) end [5]. The Base Station would generally know the real time channel strength of each UE, which then later provides accordingly resource to the UE, as UE would be sending periodically CQI to Base station. However, the periodic transmission of CQI would lead to signaling overhead which hampers the performance of RAN. Henceforth its foremost thing to average it or to optimize the CQI value to give a better user experience. Therefore, will be exploring four such machine learning algorithms (ANN, reinforcement learning, KNN and SVM) to optimize the CQI and would be analyzing which Algorithm will give better performance. Key Words: CQI, Machine Algorithm, RAN, Offloading, Handover, Base Station
Detecting and Real Time Threat Analysis in Smart Grid Networks
Authors: A Ravichandra
Published: August 2023

The increasing adoption of smart grid systems has revolutionized the power distribution landscape, providing enhanced efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. However, the integration of modern technologies and communication networks has also introduced cybersecurity challenges, exposing the smart grid to potential threats and attacks. To address this critical issue, we propose a novel approach for detecting threats in smart grid systems using a sequential algorithm based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. Our research focuses on leveraging the temporal nature of smart grid data, which is inherently sequential in nature due to the continuous flow of sensor readings and telemetry information. The proposed LSTM-based sequential algorithm is designed to analyze time-series data, allowing it to capture complex patterns and dependencies characteristic of both normal grid behavior and potential security breaches. The methodology involves collecting labeled data from various smart grid sources, including power meters, sensors, communication devices, and control systems. The data undergoes preprocessing to handle missing values, normalization, and feature extraction, enabling effective model training. The LSTM model is then trained on the labeled data, optimizing its architecture and hyperparameters to achieve accurate threat detection. To ensure real-time threat monitoring, the trained model is deployed in the smart grid servers, where it continuously ingests and analyzes incoming data streams. The real-time threat detection system enhances the security and resilience of smart grid networks, safeguarding critical infrastructure and ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. Keywords: Threat detection, Threat analysis, Sequential algorithm, Real time threat monitoring.

Parasite-Derived MicroRNAs: Potential Alternative Targets for Laboratory Diagnosis of Cystic Echinococcosis
Authors: ÖRSTEN Serra , BAYSAL İpek , MAÇİN Salih
Published: August 2023

Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is a type of zoonotic infection that can be caused by a specific form of a parasite called Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. Mostly, imaging techniques are utilized to diagnose CE. Serological tests are used only when imaging findings are atypical. Additionally, laboratory assays including direct microscopy and PCR are used in the confirmation of diagnosis after treatment though obtained negative results with these tests cannot be ruled out the diagnosis. Specific miRNAs produced by the parasite could be used as markers to diagnose and monitor CE. This research focuses on investigating the diagnostic potential of parasite-derived miRNAs compared to the presence of protoscolex in animal-derived hydatid cyst samples. Accordingly, egr-let-7-5p, egr-miR71-5p and egr-miR-9-5p were found to be positive in 26, 25 and 11 out of 30 samples (86.6%, 83.3% and (36.6%), respectively. There was no relationship between protoscolex presence and detection of either egr-let-7-5p or egr-miR-9-5p (p>0.05). On the other hand, egr-miR71-5p positivity was found statistically significant compared with protoscolex presence (p=0.04). As a result, egr-miR-71 are a promising potential target for the diagnosis of CE. Additional research is necessary to assess the diagnostic value of miRNAs in CE using a larger group of samples.
