An Efficient Machine Learning Approach: Analysis of Supervised Machine Learning Methods to Forecast the Diamond Price
Diamond, a found natural process compound of carbon, is one of the hardest and most immensely expensive material known to men, especially more to women. Investments in expensive gems like diamonds are in significant demand. The rate of a diamond, nevertheless, is not as easily calculated as the value of either gold or platinum since so many factors must be taken into account. Because there is such a broad range of diamond dimensions and qualities; as a result, being able to make reliable price predictions is crucial for the diamond industry. Although, making accurate predictions is challenging. In this study, we implemented multiple machine learning techniques employed to the challenge of diamond price forecasting's such as Linear Regression, Random Forest, Decision Tree Random Forest, Cat-Boost Regressor and XGB Regressor. This article's goal is to develop an accurate model for estimating diamond prices based on its characteristics such as weighting factor, cut grade, and dimensions. We compared the sum of estimated values and test values of predicted values with overestimated, underestimated and exact estimations. We applied cross-validation to calculate how much the model deviates from the actual when faced with a difference between the training set and the test set. We predicted values side by side. We performed a comparative analysis of supervised machine learning models with other models to evaluate the model accuracy and performance metrics. The Study's experimental findings show that out of all the supervised machine learning models, Random Forest performs well with R2score and Low RMSE and MAE values and CV Score. 2023 IEEE. -

On the basic note, a DG is used to provide a part of or all of a customers real power demand and/or as a standby supply, and of all various existing types of DG technologies, Photovoltaic (PV) type distribution generation is considered for the study. The location of distributed generation is defined as the installation and operation of electric power generation modules connected directly to the distribution network or the network on the customer side of the meter, hence signifying the optimal location and size of the DGs used. This paper proposes a new algorithm of Hunter-Prey Optimization (HPO) to determine the optimal allocation of PV integration in the radial distribution systems (RDS). HPO is a new population-based algorithm inspired by the hunting behavior of a carnivore. The optimal sizing and siting of the PVs are determined by the proposed algorithm of HPO and are tested in MATLABR2021b on standard IEEE-33 and 69 test bus systems. On the basic of comparative study with literature, HPO is performed efficiently for solving multi-variable complex optimization problem. Also, the performance of RDSs is significantly improved with optimal PV allocations. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Parametric Study on Compaction Characteristics of Clay Sand Mixtures
The behaviour of fine-grained soils can be attributed to their mineral composition and the amount of fines present in them. The present study aims to determine the effect of mineral composition and quantity of fines on the Atterberg limits and compaction characteristics and to determine the correlation between them. Two types of fine-grained artificial soil mixtures were prepared in the laboratory representing kaolinitic and montmorillonitic mineral compositions.The amount of fines was varied at 10% intervals, from 50 to 100%. The Atterberg limits like liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage limit, and compaction characteristics like maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) for two compaction energy levels, i.e. standard proctor (SP) and modified proctor (MP) tests, were determined. The correlations were developed between percentage fines and Atterberg limits and similarly between percentage fines, Atterberg limits, and compaction characteristics for artificial mix proportions. The developed correlations were used to predict the properties of natural soil samples, and the predicted and actual values are compared. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Stability Analysis ofSalt Fingers forDifferent Non-uniform Temperature Profiles inaMicropolar Liquid
This paper describes the linear stability analysis of salt finger convection for different non-uniform temperature profiles by keeping the solutal concentration uniform throughout the system. The system consists of two parallel plates separated by a thin layer of micropolar liquid with infinite length, in which the system is heated and soluted from above the plate. Normal mode techniques are used to convert the system of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations; further, Galerkian method is introduced to get the eigenvalue for isothermal, permeable with no-spin boundary conditions. The study also explains the effect of different micropolar parameters on the onset of convection. The phase of temperature flow for different boundary conditions explains the graphical solution of the energy equation and its gradients. It is shown that non-uniform temperature profiles, diffusivity ratio, coupling parameter, and solutal Rayleigh number influence the stability of the system. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Evaluation of Maximum Bending Stiffness of Stranded Cables with Refined Kinematic Relations
The mechanical response of a helically stranded cable depends on the effective stiffness offered by the collective assembly of its constituent wires. This can vary between two extreme conditions, namely a monolithic state, also known as the stickslip state, wherein all the wires in the cable behave as a single unit with no relative movements among themselves, offering the maximum stiffness for the cable. In the other extreme condition, all the wires are free to move among themselves, with no frictional holding among them, thus offering the minimum stiffness. This paper reviews the various mathematical models that are available for the estimation of maximum bending stiffness and brings out the need for considering a vital parameter known as the wire stretch effect that has been neglected by many authors till date. The consequent fundamental changes that occur in the basic kinematic relations are brought out and refined expressions for the internal wire forces and moments are established for the first time in the coupled axial-bending analysis. Further, the shear displacement of the wire due to the stretch has also been included in the wire normal and binormal shear forces. A single-layered cable with core-wire contact has been considered for analysis and the numerical results are evaluated with these new inclusions and are compared with the published results. It is hoped that the refined model suggested in this paper for the accurate estimation of the maximum stiffness, will pave way for more reasonable cable analysis in the subsequent slip stages. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Penetration of the internet, smartphone, computational capability and machine learning technology brings healthcare services close to the patients. The penetration of AI healthcare Chatbot technology worldwide is on the rise. However, the healthcare ecosystem in India is unique and poses challenges in the adoption of healthcare chatbots. The demographic characteristics, economic conditions, diversity, belief systems on health-seeking, and alternative medical practices play a role in accepting and using chatbots. In this study, we attempt to model the factors influencing the intention and the purpose of using the chatbot. Through a literature review, we identify the variables related to the adoption of healthcare chatbots. We then focus on the more relevant concepts to the Indian context and develop a conceptual model. Through cases and literature, we frame the propositions of the study. We look at the awareness of chatbot features, perception towards the chatbot, trust and mistrust of the healthcare system, the doctors and the chatbots, health-seeking behavior, and the belief in traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine prevalent in India. This study contributes by developing an initial conceptual model for healthcare chatbots adoption in the Indian context. In the future, we plan to operationalize the study and test the propositions through an elaborate survey to validate the model empirically. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
A Potential Review on Self-healing Material Bacterial Concrete Methods and Its Benefits
Building plays an important role for survival of human being in a safe place to live and store basic requirements. The building can be constructed for any purpose and the architecture of each building (official, residential) differs according to the plan. Beyond the plan for a building, it is also significant in designing plans for the construction of bridges, dams, canals, etc. In all the construction, the key goal is the strength of a building which completely depends on the materials that are chosen for each work. Hence, it is essential to prefer high quality materials for the construction of a building and the major materials are such as cement, concrete, steel, bricks, and sand. Among these materials, the concrete is often used for construction which enables to harden the building by combining cement, sand, and water. The concrete looks like a paste that reinforce to prolong life of the building. In this paper, we discuss a review on the use of bacteria in concrete that has the ability of self-healing cracks in the building. The procedural process behind the activation and reaction of bacteria into concrete is studied with the benefits of this process. This bacterial concrete usage assures to enhance the property of durability and but still it is yet to be introduced in the industries. Hereby, we review the recent research works undergone in concrete using bacteria. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
Integrated Health Care Delivery and Telemedicine: Existing Legal Impediments in India
The technological innovation in the healthcare sector has contributed to the growth of telemedicine in India. Health services fall under State responsibility as per the Indian Constitution by virtue of Schedule 7although policy and planning framework are under the scope of Central government. Telemedicine cannot not work as an autonomous service, rather, ought to be subjected to different regulations having complex ethical, medico-legal manifestations. As far as India is concerned, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India (MoHFW) is the body responsible for initiating the policy of digitization of healthcare. However the point ishow far digital health services going appropriately in India. Based on NDHBs comprehensive architectural framework of Federated National Health Information System in January 2020 and as the pandemic strategy Medical Council of India and the NITI Aayog released new guidelines on telemedicine with respect to registered medical practitioners, this research needed to be checked. Thus, the examination was done in these aspects. Guidelines were revisited to see how the hospitals in Delhi and NOIDA function based on the records submitted in medical consultation given to patients using telemedicine. It is felt that telemedicine being a nebulous concept in India, it needs to be analyzed in the light of prospective opportunities it would offer. There is a need for collaborative approaches on digital health, revision in the prevailing legal and ethical frameworks, the clinical practices corresponding to standing medical guidelines. Also, it is found that there exist no uniform telemedicine practices balancing the privacy norms, medico-legal responsibility and regulatory standards. To arrive at conclusion, the best practices prevailed in other countries are examined and adopted. It is felt that the policies existing in telemedicine need to be bifurcated as digital consultation, digital photography, remote patient monitoring (RPM) separately. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Thickness dependent tungsten trioxide thin films deposited using DC magnetron sputtering for electrochromic applications
DC magnetron sputtering was used to grow tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films on FTO and corning substrates. SEM, XRD, Electrochemical Analyzer, and UVVis Spectrometer were used to analyze surface morphology, structural properties, electrochromic characteristics, and optical characteristics. At an 800 nm wavelength, a decrease in thin-film thickness increased optical transmittance from 87 % to 95 %. Furthermore, coloring efficiency was observed to vary with the thickness of thin films for both 500 nm and 375 nm are 10.34 cm2 C-1 to 18.57 cm2 C-1. In comparison to the high-thickness thin film, the lesser-thickness deposited nano-thin film has a higher diffusion coefficient. At 8 10-4 mbar partial pressure, the diffusion coefficients for the smaller and the high-thickness thin film are 7.28x10-14 cm2s?1 and 6.0x10-14 cm2s?1, respectively. The diffusion coefficient and coloring efficiency have been found to have a considerable influence on the thickness and surface-to-volume ratio, which could be important in electrochromic applications. 2022 -

A Review of the Detection of Pulmonary Embolism from Computed Tomography Images Using Deep Learning Methods
Medical imaging has been evolving at a steady pace generating enormous amounts of health data, and the use of deep learning (DL) has helped a great deal in processing the detailed data. Deep learning-based methods are used in different medical imaging tasks to detect and diagnose diseases. For example, medical imaging is used to diagnose pulmonary embolism (PE), a commonly occurring cardiovascular disease with high mortality and prevalence and a low diagnosis rate. According to medical experts, PE has resulted in many deaths because of missed diagnoses for the medical condition. Another critical aspect of the disease is the possibility of permanent lung damage if left untreated. The use of deep learning methods in medical imaging is attributed to their ability to use learning-based methods to process enormous amounts of data. However, there are some unique challenges in the detection of PE. PE is not specific in its clinical presentation and is easily ignored, making it difficult to diagnose. Deep learning-based detection methods help a great deal in the disease detection in miniature sub-branches of the alveoli, and images with noisy artifacts easily compared to manual diagnosis. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Improvised Model for Estimation of Cable Bending Stiffness Under Various Slip Regimes
It is well known that the bending response of a stranded cable varies between two extremes, known as a monolithic stickslip state and a completely frictionless loose wire state. While the monolithic state offers the maximum stiffness for the cable, the latter loose wire assembly results in minimum stiffness. The estimation of the actual behavior of the cable under any loading scenario demands a proper modeling that accounts for the interaction of the constituent wires in the intermittent slip stages. During loading, the wires are not only subjected to forces along their axes but are considerably acted upon with radial forces that cause clenching effect. Major research works have focused on the frictional resistance of these radial forces from the Coulomb hypothesis, which contributes to the macro slip phenomenon. As the effect of these radial clenching forces are also significant in causing high contact stresses between wires at the adjacent layers, the need for considering the micro slip at these locations is also vital in the evaluation of the net cable stiffness. In this paper, a novel model is proposed that considers the slip caused by the Coulomb friction hypothesis and the micro slip caused by the Hertzian contact friction for the evaluation of bending stiffness. The variation of the bending stiffness has been evaluated for a single-layered cable as a function of bending curvature at various locations by studying their slip regimes. The predicted results are compared with the published results to establish the refined combined slip hypothesis suggested in this paper. The suggested slip model in this paper has also been accounted with the improvised kinematic relations that consider the wire stretch effect, a parameter that has been neglected in this cable research till date. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Low temperature synthesis of MoO3 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method: Investigation on their structural and optical properties
Molybdenum trioxide nanoparticles have recently achieved notable attention in optoelectronic and biomedical applications by virtue of their excellent structural, optical, electrical, and catalytic characteristics. The work presented here demonstrates the synthesis of orthorhombic MoO3 through the facile hydrothermal method at low temperature. Structural and optical characterization of the prepared sample was examined. XRD studies and Raman spectroscopy were carried out to study the structural behavior of the sample. The XRD peaks were concordant with the standard peaks of MoO3, which corresponds to the orthorhombic structure of MoO3. Micro-strain effects were also verified by the W-H method using UDM, UDEDM, and USDM. Raman spectroscopic data ascertained the orthorhombic phase of MoO3. From Tauc plot, a wide bandgap value (4.9 eV) was evaluated. In photoluminescence spectroscopy, peaks are related to the transition among the sub-bands of Mo5+ defects. Being a wide bandgap oxide semiconductor, MoO3 is a promising and worthy material for luminescence applications. 2022 -
