 Abstract

Historic assets create a focal point that people can relate to their past and are familiar with - giving a sense of place. Our built heritage represents the very best of our past. It also provides a huge resource that can play an important role in the future of our towns, cities and rural areas in terms of the stimulus provided to regeneration and the promotion of sustainable development. Evidence from across the country demonstrates that 'Heritage Works' is a valuable asset that has an important role to play as a catalyst for regeneration, redevelopment, rehabilitation, revitalization. Working with heritage assets brings a unique set of issues to the development process, such as understanding the special conservation, planning, funding and construction matters associated with them. The process also requires specialist knowledge, where expertise in any of these areas is lacking, projects can fail. The study has concentrated on listing buildings, as these heritage assets are most commonly associated with regeneration projects. Heritage assets are a key component of sustainable development. The re-use of such assets can be used to boost local economies, attract investment, highlight local distinctiveness and add value to neighbouring properties.

 Abstract

UNESCO's World Heritage Site Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area (GHNPCA) is highly undulating and difficult terrain to cover by ground and hence along with Remote Sensing and GIS based study, an attempt was also made to study the structure of the vegetation through profile diagrams. Stratified random sampling was performed. Materials used mainly vegetation map, Survey of India maps, hypsometer, graph paper, measuring tape and graph paper. Size of plots was determined based on species area curve. Observations recorded for the months of May and November. For each vegetation type a plot of 25?10 m was laid along the gradient. Sample Plot has been drawn on graph sheets at an appropriate reduced scale (1 mm = 20 cm). Slope was obtained using hypsometer. A total of 66 sample plots were laid. Of these 46 were in communities with trees and shrubs and 20 were for grasslands. The sub tropical ground flora is quite disturbed and subjected to grazing and fire. Under broad leaved forest, regeneration of Aesculus indica is quite good with the presence of different age group plants. Ground flora is very rich because of thick humus and moist conditions under Broadleaf Mixed with Conifers Forests. In Secondary Scrub; Eco-development zone, been put to lot of biotic pressure. Secondary scrubs are found intermixed with agriculture. A very interesting community of Viburnum was located on way to Maror from Shakti. Subtropical riverain forests have Alnus nitida groth in narrow belts. Pure disturbed as well as undisturbed patches of Hippophae salifolia are found under Temperate Riverain Forest. Alpine Scrub, Betula utilis forms the top story, first story is formed by Rhododendron companulatum. On steep slopes extensive grasslands are there. Alpine grasslands are found mixed with alpine scrub. Terraces with orchards are very common sites under Habitation /Agriculture/ /Orchard. Rocks with scattered growth of grasses in alpine zone above tree line. The effort will be useful, for mounting an information base, which will enable conservation practices in future.

 Abstract

In this attempt of research work synthesis, hardness and tribological properties of aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are produced as Al-7068 matrix metal and reinforcements as TiC particulates through stir casting. Experiments were conducted by varying weight fraction of TiC (0%, 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%). Wear characteristics of Al-TiC composites have been investigated under dry sliding. Dry siding wear tests have been carried out using pin-on-disk wear tester at different loads (2 Kg & 3 Kg) and different speeds (200RPM, 400RPM, 600RPM). The tests were carried out making possible combination of load and speed with each weight fraction of TiC. The results indicate that on addition of TiC reinforcement in Al-7068 Alloy has improved the wear performance. The effect of load indicates that as load increases the wear increases and while speed increases the wear performances decreases. The hardness of the composite materials was measured using Brinell hardness tester and found that as weight fraction increases the hardness of the composite increases.

 Abstract

This project aims to address the crucial task of Alzheimer's disease (AD) classification through the implementation of two distinct deep learning models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transfer Learning using Densenet201. Leveraging a diverse dataset comprising four classes - Mild Demented, Moderate Demented, Non-Demented, and Very Mild Demented - sourced from open-access repositories, our study seeks to compare the efficacy of these models in accurately diagnosing different stages of Alzheimer's. The CNN model will be developed from scratch, while Densenet201, a pre-trained model, will be fine-tuned for optimal performance. Evaluating and comparing these models will provide insights into their respective strengths and weaknesses, aiding in the determination of the superior approach for AD classification. This research contributes to the advancement of diagnostic methodologies, potentially enhancing the early detection of Alzheimer's Disease.

 Abstract

In response to society's need for personal data, a number of online information platforms have evolved as a crucial business model. In these platforms, a service provider purchases raw data from data suppliers and subsequently provides value-added services to data customers. The data trading layer presents a significant challenge for data consumers, too, namely how to confirm that the service provider is indeed obtaining and processing their data. Furthermore, data contributors often are reluctant to provide sensitive personal information to data consumers or to reveal their true identity. A method for identifying contributors that is based on honesty is given. A user can submit an assessment to the system after purchasing a product to see if contributors are permitted. Data contributors cannot personally identify others under Data Verification and Privacy Preservation, even though they must legally provide their own data. Furthermore, it is required of the service provider to accurately gather and manage data. Furthermore, critical raw data and the personally identifiable information of data providers are appropriately safeguarded. For data verification and privacy protection, we also used two more data services, and we closely evaluated their effectiveness on two real-world datasets.

 Abstract

This project aims to advance avian identification through the utilization of audio signals, employing a comprehensive approach that integrates with deep learning techniques. The study focuses on developing three distinct models: Ridge Classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM) Classifier, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). By converting audio signals into numerical data using standard Python libraries, we aim to create robust models capable of accurately identifying bird species based on their distinct audio signatures. The Ridge and SVM classifiers, representing classical ML paradigms, will leverage advanced feature extraction methodologies. Simultaneously, the ANN model, a deep learning approach, will harness the power of neural networks to capture intricate patterns within the audio data. This interdisciplinary fusion of ML and deep learning techniques is poised to significantly enhance avian species identification, contributing to biodiversity monitoring and conservation efforts.

 Abstract

The business of picture subscription requires both language and visual comprehension. Picture models need to analyse visual material in order to construct words in human languages. Because the focus strategy may provide deeper sequential model training with more precise picture information, it has been widely employed in image subtitles. The automated description of visual information using natural languages is a critical and challenging task. There are several options. For example, it might make the image's content easier to interpret. In situations like photo sharing on social media sites, it may also offer more accuracy and concise picture information. Deep neural networks are used in this study to accomplish this. From real-time video (image frames), a convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to extract vectors, and an LSTM network is then used to generate replacements from these vectors. The dataset that is most frequently used to evaluate the model is Flickr 8K. It has more than 8,000 photos in it. Picture captions are created using the process by compiling data from image and caption pairings.

Abstract-- Muslim Women Welfare and Development Schemes focus on enhancing the well-being and progress of Muslim women within societal frameworks. These initiatives aim to address issues such as gender equality, education, and economic empowerment. Schemes often emphasize the implementation of Islamic laws to protect women from various forms of exploitation, ensuring their dignity and independence. Programs typically include provisions for financial support, education, and skill development, recognizing the importance of empowering women economically and socially. Efforts may also be directed towards legal frameworks, ensuring that Muslim women have equal access to justice and protection. By amalgamating Islamic principles with contemporary needs, these welfare and development schemes strive to create an inclusive environment that fosters the holistic growth and empowerment of Muslim women, reinforcing their rights and status within society.
