In the digital age, the task of detecting music plagiarism has become increasingly critical to preserving the integrity of creative works. Music plagiarism detection involves the identification of similarities between musical pieces that may indicate unauthorized copying or infringement. A key element of this challenge is the accurate extraction and comparison of audio features from different tracks. In this paper, we present a novel approach that employs Python's librosa library to extract essential audio features and utilizes Euclidean distance to quantify the similarity between these features. To further refine the accuracy of plagiarism detection, we have integrated the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) machine learning algorithm, which classifies the audio samples based on their extracted features. The culmination of our approach is a detailed plagiarism report generated using the reportlab library, which provides comprehensive insights into the similarities between analyzed tracks. This method offers a systematic and robust solution for identifying potential cases of music plagiarism, contributing to the protection of intellectual property in the music industry.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes of mortality globally, highlighting the need for early and accurate detection systems. This project presents a comprehensive approach for predicting cardiovascular disease using ensemble machine learning techniques. The system comprises an image processing module that pre processes ECG images and a machine learning module to analyze the extracted features. The image processing phase involves converting ECG images to grayscale, applying Gaussian smoothing to reduce noise, and contour detection for waveform extraction. The next phase integrates Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, aimed at enhancing the model's efficiency by minimizing redundant data while retaining crucial features. A VotingClassifier ensemble method is then employed, combining multiple machine learning classifiers including Support Vector Machine (SVM), k Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Random Forest, Gaussian Naive Bayes, and Logistic Regression. The use of a soft voting strategy aggregates predictions based on probability scores, improving robustness and prediction accuracy. This modular architecture leverages the power of ensemble learning, utilizing ECG data to make reliable predictions. Initial results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in identifying patterns associated with cardiovascular disease. The final system is implemented using the scikit-learn and Streamlit libraries, providing an intuitive front-end for medical professionals to upload ECG images and view predictive results. This work underscores the potential of combining image processing and ensemble learning for non-invasive diagnosis of heart conditions.

This study explored the use of coconut shells, an abundant agricultural waste, as a partial replacement for traditional coarse aggregates in concrete. The primary goal was to evaluate the impact of this substitution on the concrete's compressive strength, a crucial factor determining its suitability for various construction applications. Concrete samples were prepared with varying percentages of coconut shell replacement, ranging from 0% to 30%. These samples were then subjected to compressive strength tests after standard curing periods. The results consistently showed a decrease in compressive strength as the percentage of coconut shell replacement increased. While lower replacement levels (up to 10-15%) resulted in a moderate reduction in strength, making the concrete suitable for specific applications like lightweight and non-structural elements, higher replacement levels (beyond 20%) led to a significant decline, rendering the concrete unsuitable for high-load- bearing structures. This research highlights the potential of coconut shells as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional coarse aggregates. By utilizing this agricultural waste, the construction industry can reduce its environmental impact. However, the trade-off between environmental benefits and reduced compressive strength must be carefully considered for specific applications
