 Abstract

Ants are inevitable part of our ecosystem. They play many roles as decomposers, predators, pollinators, scavengers, soil engineers etc but they are least studied with respect to taxonomy, in India. In this regard, a study on diversity of ants was conducted in the Kizhakkumpuram region of Palakkad, Kerala. Study was carried out for 6 months from October 2020 to March 2021. All out-search method, pitfall and sifting method were employed for collection of ants. Ants of 20 different genera were obtained. Of that about 14 were identified up to species level. The Ants in the collection belonged to five different subfamilies Dolichoderinae, Formicinae, Myrmicinea, Ponerinae and Psuedomyrmicinae. More number of ant species belonged to Formicinae followed by Myrmicinae, Ponerinae, Dolichoderinae, Pseudomyrmicinea. Camponitini and Ponerini are the most abundant tribes. The high species diversity of ants can be attributed to the high diversity of plants and insects.

 Abstract

Wearing masks has become compulsory for everyone nowadays. Thus, existing face recognition systems have become inefficient. So we have decided to develop a deep learning model which can properly detect masked faces. We have used the MAFA dataset with 30, 811 Internet images and 35, 806 masked faces. Faces in the MAFA dataset have different orientations and occlusion degrees, and at least one part of the face is occluded by mask.We have used CNNs for masked face recognition. It comprises various convolutional layers, several pooling layers, non-linear layer and classification layer units. Deep CNN networks are typically trained on large labeled datasets like ImageNet to pick out general features which are appropriate into several detections and recognition jobs like image classification and verification, object detection, segmentation to texture identification.

 Abstract

Switzerland has always been a pioneering force in the Watchmaking Industry, as much as to say that it has always enjoyed an unrivalled Monopoly when it comes to manufacturing and selling of fine watches. Swiss watches are known for their craftsmanship, precision and mechanical sophistication, created using skills which are rarely found beyond the Jura Mountains of the country, which ultimately helps Switzerland to capitalize from an international imitation Gap. However, there is a disproportionate inequality in the market share of the Swiss watch manufacturers to the level that just one brand controls approximately one-fourth of the total market share whereas all the other brands have to settle for a mere single digit market share. This arises the following questions: Does Brand Equity play a significant role in determining market share? Which is the more important determinant of brand equity- value proposition to a consumer or just smart marketing? What is the sweet spot in the market that can be capitalized on for revenue maximization? Etc. This paper attempts to expound on these questions.

 Abstract

As communication technology and e-commerce have improved, credit cards have become the most common mode of payment for both online and offline purchases. As a result, security in this system is expected to be very good to avoid fraudulent transactions. Each year, the number of fraudulent credit card data transfers rises. Researchers are also experimenting with unique approaches to detect and prevent such frauds in this direction. However, some strategies that can accurately and efficiently detect these scams are always needed. This study proposes a method for detecting credit card fraud using supervised and unsupervised learning approaches. The suggested neural network method outperforms existing methods such as Logistic Regression, Local Outlier Factor, Isolation Forest, and K-means clustering when compared. As the accuracy values of each model are nearly negligible because the dataset is imbalanced, we will compare the false-negative rate, recall, precision, and recall parameters of each model.
