 Abstract

E-voting using blockchain is a novel and innovative approach to revolutionizing the way voting systems are designed and implemented. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, this project aims to build a transparent, secure, and tamper-proof electronic voting platform that can eliminate the possibility of fraud, manipulation, or hacking. Blockchain technology is a beautiful replacement for traditional electronic voting solutions with distributed, non-repudiation, and security protection characteristics. The proposed system will be decentralized, distributed, and immutable, enabling every vote to be recorded and verified on the blockchain. The system will enable voters to cast their votes remotely while maintaining the integrity of the election results. The implementation of smart contracts will ensure that only eligible voters can cast their votes and that the results are counted accurately. The project will also address concerns around voter privacy, identity authentication, and the prevention of double voting. With the advent of e-voting using blockchain, the democratic process will be more accessible, efficient, and trustworthy, thereby increasing participation and confidence in the electoral system.

Digital drugs are the most commonly used by people around the world which do not have any particular laws to control them. Digital drugs mentioned in this article are about the Binaural beats which stimulate the brain to get the same effect as consuming the drugs. When binaural beats are used, it triggers a frequency range that will generate a specific response, the brain waves will entrain to a frequency that is either the alpha or beta range, depending on the individual, and therefore they will feel either more relaxed or more alert. These types of Binaural bets are most commonly available easily and there is no regulation to control their usage and sale. These Binaural bets are been used as drugs, to relax the mind, increase brain power, etc. This article will be a brief study of these Binaural beats, their usage and legality.

 Abstract

The food culture of Tulunadu is unique. The higher classes control what one should eat and what one should not, and the lower classes have continually fought against this. Food culture can bring about intense social conflict. The novels written by the novelists of the coastal area have presented this aspect from the critical point of view. The discussion on food culture does not deny bases of conflict within itself. There is never ending conflict among modernity, colonialism, caste, religion, freedom, agriculture and deities. We observe both different facets of foods and the conflicts they have effected in the society when we its presentation from Indirabai to the spate of violations.

 Abstract

Analysing specific tags for images and other sorts of multimedia is quite easy with Instagram. The combination of tags and images are utilized to furnish automatic image annotation (AIA) systems that learn through real time approach. Many unrelated images are accompanied by a multitude of irrelevant hashtags, also known as stop-hashtags, solely for the purpose of attracting clicks and improving their discoverability. Typically, around 20% of hashtags on Instagram are associated with or illustrative to the image's visual content. In this proposal, a novel approach is presented that utilizes the principles of communal intelligence to discovering appropriate hashtags. More specifically, we picturesque the altered version of the renowed algorithm called HITS which was used in community tagging environment that bestows to be a trustworthy and efficient way to create an exemplary and error-free training sets for the retrieval of image based on the content. We have chosen hashtags as a proof-of principles, by utilizing the Figure-eight crowdsourcing platform which enables the gathering of collective knowledge. Bipartite networks were constructed using the crowdsourcing data, with the first kind of nodes representing annotators and the second kind representing hashtags that have picked out. After ranking the annotators based on their effectiveness in the crowd tagging activity, the HITS algorithm was used to choose the relevant hashtags for each image.

 Abstract

The principal controller of a human being is their brain. A brain tumor develops when cells in the brain grow and split abnormally; brain cancer develops when brain tumors continue to grow. Computer vision plays a significant role in the field of human health, replacing human judgement, which provides reliable results. The common imaging techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that are likely to be the most dependable and comfortable include CT scans, X-rays, and MRI scans. MRI finds even the smallest objects. The goal of our paper is to raise knowledge about the many methods for using brain MRI to find brain tumors. In order to remove the noises that can be seen in an MR image, we finished pre-processing utilizing the bilateral filter (BF) in this analysis. Following this for accurate tumor region recognition were binary thresholding and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) segmentation algorithms. Datasets for training, testing, and validation are used. We can determine whether a brain tumor is there or not depending on our device. The outcomes that are produced can be evaluated using a variety of performance-tested measures, including accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. It is reported that the proposed development may demonstrate higher-quality functionality than its competitors.

 Abstract

In military environments, Internet of Things (IoT) often comprises of a variety of Internet-connected nodes and devices (e.g. medical devices and wearable combat uniforms). Cybercriminals, especially state-sponsored or nation-state actors, are interested in these IoT devices and nodes as a lucrative target. Malware usage is a frequent assault method. The Operational Code (OpCode) sequence of the device is used in this paper to demonstrate a deep learning-based solution for detecting malware on the Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT). In order to distinguish between dangerous and helpful programmes, we convert OpCodes into a vector space and use a deep Eigenspace learning technique. We also show how well our suggested technique detects malware and can withstand attempts to install malicious code. Last but not least, we provide our virus samples.

Nowadays urbanization is one of the reasons for increased air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and waste generation. In this paper we will focus on noise pollution. Major source of noise pollution is anthropogenic or manmade noise. Noise pollution bad impacts have been observed on humans as well as wildlife. In environment most of animals either anurans or fishes or birds uses sound for communication. The anthropogenic noise pollution is observed to have greater effect on wildlife rather than natural noise. In this review we will be focusing on effect of noise pollution on behaviour, foraging behaviour, health, reproduction and physiological impacts. Animal shows a variety of responses depending on intensity and propagation of sound.

 Abstract

The use of cellulose in the manufacture of ethanol prevents the waste of non-edible components of agricultural plants like corn and sugar cane. As opposed to bioethanol made from sugar and starch, they can be utilized to make bioethanol, which increases agricultural productivity and reduces the carbon footprint of crops by up to 85% (1 G of ethanol). Cellulosic ethanol reduces GHG emissions by 88% to 108% when compared to gasoline, depending on the feedstock used. Because of this, 2G ethanol is a sustainable fuel choice that helps cut air pollution. This review study discusses various methods for producing 2G ethanol, with a particular emphasis on pretreatment methods and 2G ethanol's energy efficiency. The findings help inform better decision-making in the development and design of biorefineries by illuminating the optimum process alternatives that can result in increased sustainable ethanol output.

 Abstract

Austenitic stainless steel is commonly used in refinery and chemical processing industry due to its excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, weldability and corrosion resistance at various elevated temperature. Apparently, all 300 series of austenitic stainless steels are highly susceptible to Chloride induced Stress Corrosion Cracking (CI-SCC) when dealing with corrosive environment (hydrolysis of calcium, magnesium and chlorides salts) and tensile stress (applied or residual stress). In this project, the impact of sensitization on CI-SCC is examined using austenitic stainless-steel grade 304L (SS 304L). The specimens are shaped into U-bend as per ASTM G30 and exposed for long-term immersion test. U-bend samples are heat sensitized at 600oC for 2 hours followed by air cooling. Samples are immersed in 0.1 wt%, 1.0 wt% and 3.0 wt% NaCl into the water bath at temperature of 28oC (ambient condition) and 90oC for 28 days. The specimens were monitored once in a week under visual examination of crack on the surface. Microscopic study was carried out to identify the CI-SCC and morphology of SS304L material.
