A Systematic Review on the Identification and Classification of Patterns in Microservices
Determining patterns in monolithic systems to help improve the overall system development and maintenance has become quite commonplace. However, recognizing the patterns that have emerged (or are emerging) in cloud computing - especially with respect to microservices, is challenging. Although numerous patterns have been proposed through extensive research and implementation, the quality assessment tools that are currently available fall short when it comes to accurately recognizing patterns in microservices. It has been identified that a completely autonomous tool for the identification and classification of patterns in microservices has not been developed so far. Moreover, classification of services is an approach that has not been considered by researchers that are working in this field. This paper aims to perform a detailed systematic literature review that can help to explore the various possibilities of identifying and classifying the patterns in microservices. The article also briefly lists out a set of tools that is used in the industry for the implementation of patterns in microservices. 2023 IEEE. -

A Two-Pass Hybrid Mean and Median Framework for Eliminating Impulse Noise From a Grayscale Image
In a digital era, Image recuperation plays a vital role in the area of digital image processing. Image instauration offers more visualization on the quality of the image thereby eliminating noise. Elimination of Gaussian and impulse noise is a challenging problem in the area of image restoration. Rigorous research is pursued to restore salt-and-pepper (SAP) noise utilizing spatial filters. Mean and Median are two contributing spatial filters for eliminating impulse noise. This paper applies a two-pass hybrid mean and median framework on a corrupted grayscale image to replace salt and pepper noise. The hybrid framework is effectively restoring the image by abstracting the low, medium, and high-density impulse noise. The efficacy of the recommended strategy is evaluated by quantifying the peak signal to noise ratio and structural similarity index metric. The result obtained when compared with recent recuperation strategies outperforms to remove noise from grayscale images. 2021 IEEE -
A Unified Approach to Predict and Understand Acute Myeloid Leukemia Diagnosis
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing disease that affects myeloid cells in blood and bone marrow. These abnormal cancerous cells called blast cells are non-functional cells that increase rapidly in bone marrow and are released into blood stream which crowd out the healthy functional cells leading to weak immune system. This life-threatening disease needs to be diagnosed at early stage and hence requires fully automated system for early detection of leukemia to aid pathologists and doctors. Most of the automated machine learning and AI models are not transparent and require techniques to explain model prediction. This paper presents methods to classify blood microscopic images into healthy or acute myeloid leukemia. Among all the methods implemented, Gradient Boosting outperforms with an accuracy of 96.67%. This paper also focuses on explainable AI to interpret model prediction and feature importance which further helps in understanding decision-making process of classification model and optimize it. 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
A Video Surveillance-based Enhanced Collision Prevention and Safety System
Road traffic crashes that result in fatalities have become a global phenomenon. Therefore, it is imperative to use caution and vigilance while being on the road. Human mistake, going over the speed limit, being preoccupied while driving or walking, disobeying safety precautions, and other factors can also contribute to such unforeseen accidents or injuries, which can result in both bodily and material loss. So, safety is what we seek to achieve. Furthermore, as the number of automobiles has increased, so too have collisions between vehicles and pedestrians. Using computer vision and deep learning approaches, this research seeks to anticipate such encounters. The data often comes from traffic surveillance cameras in video formats. We have therefore concentrated on video sequences of vehicle-pedestrian collisions. We begin with a detection phase that includes the identification of vehicles and pedestrians; for this phase, we employed YOLO v3 (You Only Look Once). YOLO v3 has 80 classes, but we only took six of them: person, car, bike, motorcycle, bus, and truck. Following detection, the Euclidean distance approach is used to determine the interspace between the vehicle and the pedestrian. The closer the distance between a vehicle and a pedestrian, the more likely it is that they will collide. As a result, pedestrians in risk are located, and once we are aware of the pedestrians in danger, we search for nearby safer regions to alert them to head to the nearest location that is secure.

A Voting Enabled Predictive Approach for Hate Speech Detection
In today's digital environment, hate speech, which is defined as disparaging and discriminating communication based on personal characteristics, presents a big difficulty. Hate crimes and the rising amount of such content on social media platforms are two examples of how it is having an impact. Large volumes of textual data require manual analysis and categorization, which is tedious and subject to prejudice. Machine learning (ML) technologies have the ability to automate hate speech identification with increased objectivity and accuracy in order to overcome these constraints. This article intends to give a comparative analysis of various ML models for the identification of hate speech. The proliferation of such content online and its negative repercussions on people and society are explored, as is the necessity for automated hate speech recognition. This paper intends to support the creation of efficient hate speech detection systems by performing a comparative analysis of ML models. Random forest records the best performance with higher accuracy and low response delay period for hate speech detection. The results will help enhance automated text classification algorithms and, in the end, promote a safer and more welcoming online environment by illuminating the benefits and drawbacks of various approaches. 2023 IEEE. -

Accessing Accurate Documents by Mining Auxiliary Document Information
Earlier techniques of text mining included algorithms like k-means, Nae Bayes, SVM which classify and cluster the text document for mining relevant information about the documents. The need for improving the mining techniques has us searching for techniques using the available algorithms. This paper proposes one technique which uses the auxiliary information that is present inside the text documents to improve the mining. This auxiliary information can be a description to the content. This information can be either useful or completely useless for mining. The user should assess the worth of the auxiliary information before considering this technique for text mining. In this paper, a combination of classical clustering algorithms is used to mine the datasets. The algorithm runs in two stages which carry out mining at different levels of abstraction. The clustered documents would then be classified based on the necessary groups. The proposed technique is aimed at improved results of document clustering. 2015 IEEE. -
Accident Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Accidents have been a major cause of deaths in India. More than 80% of accident-related deaths occur not due to the accident itself but the lack of timely help reaching the accident victims. In highways where the traffic is really light and fast-paced an accident victim could be left unattended for a long time. The intent is to create a system which would detect an accident based on the live feed of video from a CCTV camera installed on a highway. The idea is to take each frame of a video and run it through a deep learning convolution neural network model which has been trained to classify frames of a video into accident or non-accident. Convolutional Neural Networks has proven to be a fast and accurate approach to classify images. CNN based image classifiers have given accuracy's of more than 95% for comparatively smaller datasets and require less preprocessing as compared to other image classifying algorithms. 2019 IEEE. -
Accuracy Enhancement of Portrait Segmentation by Ensembling Deep Learning Models
Portrait segmentation is widely used as a preprocessing step in multiple applications. The accuracy of portrait segmentation models indicates its reliability. In recent times, portrait segmentation using deep learning models have achieved significant success in performance and accuracy. However, these portrait segmentation models are limited to a single model. In this paper, we propose ensemble approach using multiple portrait segmentation models to improve the segmentation accuracy. The result of experiment shows that the proposed ensemble approach produces better accuracy than individual models. Accuracy of single models and proposed ensemble approach were compared with Intersection over Union (IoU) metric and false prediction rate to evaluate the accuracy performance. The result shows reduced false negative rate and false discovery rate, this reduction in false prediction has enabled ensemble approach to produce segmented images with optimized error and improved result of segmentation in portrait area of human body than individual portrait segmentation models 2020 IEEE. -

Addressing challenges and opportunities in enhancing water quality for irrigation
The rapidly changing quality of irrigation water is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed in order to understand and predict the long-term effects on soils and crops in a world that is facing increasing water stress. The use of irrigation in agriculture is becoming increasingly reliant on sources of water that are poorly understood and largely unmonitored. This trend has led to a decline in water and soil quality in many areas. While soil salinization and reduced crop productivity have traditionally been the main concerns when it comes to the quality of irrigation water, there is now evidence that geogenic contaminants, such as trace elements and an increase in the use of wastewater, are also affecting irrigation water quality. The ability to measure extremely small concentrations of biologically-active organic contaminants, including plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and steroid hormones, in various irrigation water sources allows us to evaluate their uptake and occurrence in crops. However, it does not address questions related to food safety or the potential health effects on humans. Additionally, natural and synthetic nanoparticles are now known to be present in many water sources, which may alter plant growth and impact food standards. 2023 Author(s). -
Adhesion strength studies on zirconia based pyrochlore and functionally gradient thermal barrier coatings
Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) plays a major role in the improvement of gas turbine and engine components in terms of their service life and performance. Generally, all coatings must possess certain primary properties to perform in the intended applications. However, regardless of applications, suitable adhesion strength is one major characteristic they must have to adequately protect the basic components on which they are applied upon. In TBCs, adhesion (or Bond) strength is a parameter that helps to illustrate the resistance of the ceramic top coat against spallation either from the bond coat (and component) or within the TBC layers itself. The performance of TBCs are reliant upon the adhesion between the coating and the metal substrate and also adhesion (or cohesion) between the bond coat and the overlying ceramic top coat layer. The de-bonding of the top coat layer or the inter-metallic bond coat layers are the main reasons of the failure of the overall TBC system. Some of the prominent problems associated with coatings applications are residual stresses, micro-cracks and pores etc. These and many other factors influence the adhesion of the coatings in addition to service environment conditions and pre coating substrate preparations such as substrate cleaning, grit blasting and very importantly plasma spray parameters. In the present work, results obtained from adhesion strength measurements carried out by following the ASTM C 633 standard test method, on various types of TBCs are being shared. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were synthesized with NiCrAlY bond coat deposited on SS 304L substrate by using air plasma spray and different ceramic top coats (a) commercial 8%Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (8YSZ) (b) lab synthesized plasma spray powders of (i) Lanthanum Zirconate (La2Zr2O7) (ii) Lanthanum Ceria Zirconate (La2 (Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7) and (iii) Lanthanum cerate (La2Ce2O7). The coating depositions were carried out in different configurations i.e. two layers, three layers and gradient layers (Functionally gradient materials). The evaluation of properties includes the studies of morphology of the strength (adhesive/cohesive failure mode) tested specimen as well. General conclusions drawn from the studies on several specimen in various configurations are that cohesive failures (between the ceramic top coat layers) is the predominant mechanisms followed by few adhesive failures in bond coat coat/ceramic interface. 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
