Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks through I-LEACH: A Data Clustering and Routing Protocol
Authors: Satvir Singh Sushil Lekhi, 
Published: April 2024

The inclusion of innovative technology into sensor networks has resulted in notable advancements in several industries, including mining, healthcare, military surveillance, and more. Using a multi-hop approach, nodes are placed strategically across the Region of Interest (RoI) in order to transfer data to the Base Station (BS). In order to address issues with energy consumption, effective cluster head selection, packet loss, routing algorithms, and energy efficiency, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become a key field of study. The objectives of this research are to increase nodes' Residual Energy, and lengthen the network lifetime. Using an effective clustering mechanism and Cluster Head election procedure is the suggested method. The goal of choosing a CH is to minimize the distance from the base station while optimizing the node's remaining energy. The protocol acts in two stages: firstly, computing a new Threshold value for the cluster head election process, and secondly, applying a data fusion mechanism based energy model is used in the network to reduce redundant energy transfer.

Published: April 2024

Tracking vehicles across a city using a network of multiple cameras are pivotal for enhancing urban and traffic management systems. However, this task is riddled with challenges such as wide geographical coverage, frequent view obstructions, and the diverse appearances of vehicles from various angles.
To address these complexities, the proposed solution, dubbed Overlapped Vehicle Detection and Tracking using Multimodal Contrastive Domain Sharing Generative Adversarial Network optimized with Efficient Multi-camera system (MCDS-GAN), leverages cutting-edge techniques from computer vision, image processing, machine learning, and sensor fusion. This advanced system detects and tracks vehicles even in scenarios where multiple camera views overlap, making it applicable across domains like traffic management, surveillance, and autonomous vehicles.
The methodology involves utilizing datasets like Common Objects in Context and ImageNet for training. Detection and tracking are performed using the Multimodal Contrastive Domain Sharing Generative Adversarial Network, followed by vehicle re-identification facilitated by the Topological Information Embedded Convolution Neural Network (TIE-CNN).
Moreover, optimization techniques are employed to ensure synchronization and efficiency within the system. Implemented in Python, the effectiveness of MCDS-GAN is rigorously evaluated using metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, Latency, Response Time, and Scalability. Simulation results showcase its superiority, achieving significantly higher accuracy rates compared to existing methods such as OC-MCT-OFOV, MT-MCT-VM-CLM, and TI-VRI.
Homonym Detection Using WordNet and Modified Lesk Approach for English Language
Authors: D. V. Kodavade Madhuri P. Karnik 
Published: April 2024

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is a basic and persistent problem that has existed since its inception in the natural language processing (NLP) area. The process of determining the accurate meaning of a word within a specific context is referred to as word sense disambiguation, commonly known as WSD. In NLP, a single word can have two or more meanings, with each meaning being distinguished by its context. This is known as word polysemy. Its applications span a wide range of fields, such as question answering systems, machine translation, information retrieval (IR) etc. Ontology and NLP are still struggling with ambiguity. Homonyms, which are ubiquitous in most languages, are words that have the same spelling but a different meaning. This method's fundamental premise is to select the appropriate sense by comparing a word's context in a sentence to contexts generated from WordNet. The primary goal of this study is to employ WordNet and the Lesk algorithm for WSD. After the algorithm was put into practice and tested on a collection of sentences that included ambiguous words, the synset was able to determine the proper interpretation for most of the sentences. The Lesk algorithm relies on finding the highest number of shared words (maximum overlap) between a word’s context, prepositions and the definitions for its different meanings(glosses). This approach helps in identifying the most accurate interpretation for a given word within a specific context. According to experimental findings, the suggested strategy considerably boosts performance while identifying homonyms.

«ШЕВЧЕНКО НЕ ВІДОМИЙ…» (Постать і творчість Тараса Шевченка в «Голосі з хору» Андрія Синявського)
Authors: Гладишев Володимир 
Published: April 2024

У науковій статті розглянуто проблему унікальної, гранично загостреної особливості сприйняття неповторної особистості та творчості великого українського поета Тараса Григоровича Шевченка. Унікальність поглядів автора твору «Голос із хору» на Кобзаря зумовлена своєрідністю трагічної долі митця, а саме – відомого науковця, літературного критика та письменника Андрія Синявського, який через свою незгоду з радянською владою опинився в таборі. Аналізуючи поезії Т. Шевченка, науковець дійшов висновку, що вони з погляду естетичної цінності принаймні на пів століття випередили свій час; визначив витоки впливу на долю українського народу Кобзаря як національного генія, що спромігся втілити у творчості споконвічне прагнення українців до свободи. Після з’ясування цих моментів А. Синявський визначає ментальну унікальність українського народу, його перевагу над росіянами у процесі морально-емоційного сприйняття світу.

Mer religiøse enn sine foreldre: Religiøs overføring og individualisering blant norske muslimer
Authors: Brottveit Ånund 
Published: April 2024

Hva skjer med religiøsiteten til muslimske innvandrere og deres etterkommere over tid i et sekulært land som Norge? Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i en ny spørreundersøkelse om tro og religiøs praksis blant muslimer i Norge. Undersøkelsen viser at det skjer en viss sekulari­sering i form av at færre tror og praktiserer sin religion i neste generasjon. De i utvalget som regner seg selv som muslimer, viser imidlertid tegn på en sterkere religiøsitet sammenlignet med et majoritetsutvalg med tilhørighet til Den norske kirke. Et interessant funn i den nye undersøkelsen er indikasjoner på at unge muslimer som er født og oppvokst i Norge, er mer religiøse og har en mer eksklusivistisk tro enn sine muslimske foreldre. Funnene diskuteres i lys av andre studier som har påvist endrede former for religiøsitet blant unge muslimer i vestlige land.

Published: April 2024

The present investigation analyzed Apis honey samples of dorsata, cerana, mellifera and florea spp. from Coorg and Kolar districts of Karnataka. The physical parameters, pH, optical density, viscosity, and moisture contents were analyzed for the Apis honey samples and were found to comply with international standards. The efficacy of Apis honey in medical research chiefly depends on its mineral constituents. Hence, the total ash content was calculated using the Ivanov and Chevanakova methods. An atomic absorption spectrophotometer and flame photometer were used to quantify minerals in honey samples. The total ash range was between 0.24±0.2 to 0.65±0.1 per cent. The F-test and ANOVA values of the total ash content of honey samples were significant at 5% levels. Honey of Apis dorsata had 4.33±0.01 ppm±SD of Calcium and 1.69±0.02 ppm±SD of Magnesium; 0.004±0.0001 ppm±SD of Chromium 0.09±0.02 ppm±SD of Iron was found in honey of Apis florea. Likewise, honey of Apis cerana had Copper (0.05±0.002 ppm±SD), Manganese (0.08±0.002 ppm±SD), Phosphorus (0.49±0.02 ppm±SD), Potassium (40.44±0.09 ppm±SD) and Sodium (4.37±0.06 ppm±SD). Zinc (0.06±0.002 ppm±SD) was present in honey of A. mellifera. All the mineral nutrients studied were within the compliance range and determined to be statistically significant (p< 0.05). It was concluded that the Karnataka Apis honey maintains its good standards.

Authors: SUN Shuping , DU Yufen , SUN Shu , YU Qingxian , LI Yongchun 
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the influence of polypropylene fiber on the mechanical properties of recycled concrete and the bonding performance between recycled concrete and steel bars. The results indicate that the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of concrete decrease with the increase in the replacement rate of recycled aggregate. When the replacement rate of recycled aggregate was 100 %, the compressive strength of concrete decreased by 25.0%, while the splitting tensile strength of concrete decreased by 21.7 %. The compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of recycled aggregate concrete show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with increasing fiber content. When the fiber content is 0.09 %, the compressive strength and tensile strength of recycled aggregate concrete are optimal. The bond strength of recycled concrete pullout specimens with fiber is higher than that of recycled concrete pullout specimens without fiber, while the slip of recycled concrete pullout specimens with fiber is lower than that of recycled concrete pullout specimens without fiber. The maximum improvement in bonding performance between recycled concrete and rebars with a 50 % recycled aggregate replacement rate is 13.7 %, and the maximum improvement in bonding performance between recycled concrete and rebars with a 100 % recycled aggregate replacement rate is 11.8 %. The bond strength shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with increasing fiber content, but the degree of decrease was not significant, while the slip shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with increasing fiber content. Compared to the compressive strength of concrete, the splitting tensile strength can better reflect the bond strength between concrete and rebar. The nonlinear relationship between the bond strength, compressive strength, and splitting tensile strength of recycled concrete is established. This study can effectively improve the mechanical properties of recycled concrete, expand the application scope of recycled concrete technology, and promote the sustainable development of the construction industry.
Gibt es Generationen und Generationenunterschiede?
Authors: Zacher Hannes 
Published: April 2024

Der Begriff »Generation« beschreibt eine Gruppe von Personen, die aufgrund ihrer Zugehörigkeit zu bestimmten Geburtsjahren (z. B. 1980 bis 2000) und geteilter Erfahrungen (z. B. Einführung des Internet) zusammengefasst und mit einem Namen (z. B. »Generation Y«) versehen werden. Wenn mehrere dieser Gruppen hinsichtlich psychologischer Merkmale verglichen werden, geht es um »Generationenunterschiede«. Das erste Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, das Konzept der Generationen kritisch zu beleuchten und mögliche Probleme einer Fokussierung auf Generationenunterschiede aufzuzeigen. Das zweite Ziel besteht darin, alternative Erklärungen für »intergenerationale« Konflikte und Potenziale in Kontexten wie Arbeit und Familie anzubieten. Dazu wird auf Unterschiede zwischen Individuen aufgrund ihres Lebensalters und ihres Geburtsjahrgangs (Kohorte) eingegangen.
