Improving Indoor occupancy estimation using a hybrid CNN-LSTM approach
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring has been a significant research domain in energy conservation. Many energy resources are required to maintain the IAQ using airconditioning or other ventilation systems. Currently, the research works highly optimize an on-demand driven energy usage depending on the occupant present inside the building. In the last decade, numerous research works have evolved for such an optimization by installing sensors and predicting occupants using machine learning techniques. This research fails to deploy non-intrusive sensors and appropriate machine learning algorithms to predict the occupancy count. Advancement in neural network techniques termed deep learning has made significant performance in recognition and cognitive tasks. Thus, this paper proposes a hybrid deep learning model that stacks the convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short term memory (LSTM) to improve the prediction rate of the occupancy count. Experimentation has been carried out in real-time multivariate sensor data for the occupancy estimation and evaluated the performance in terms of accuracy, RMSE, MAPE, and coefficients of determinants. 2022 IEEE. -
An AI-Based Forensic Model for Online Social Networks
With the growth of social media usage, social media crimes are also creeping sprightly. Investigation of such crimes involves the thorough examination of data like user, activity, network, and content. Although investigating social media looks quite straight forward process, it is always challenging for the investigators due to the complex process involved in it. Due to the immense growth of social media content, manual processing of data for investigation is not possible. Most of the works from this area provide an automatic model or semi-automated, and much of the contributions lacks the logical reasoning and explainability of the evidence extracted. Searching techniques like entity-based search and explainable AI add value to the quick retrieval within appropriate scope and explain the results to the court of law. This paper provides a model by adding these new techniques to the basic forensic process. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Parametric effect of minimum quantity lubrication unit using RSM technique to improve the machinability of Inconel 718
In recent years, a rapid demand of superalloys has been seen in all industrial sectors. Few growing industries such as aerospace and biomedical industries are in need of this superalloy for fabrication of variety of products. Inconel 718 is one such superalloy which is being used for the manufacture of these productions due to high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, hardness and toughness. Due to these superior quality feature of this material friction is being seen at the tool-work interface region. This friction can be reduced by minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) unit which provides coolant at the right time. This paper discusses the minimum quantity lubrication unit used in computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine to improve the machinability of Inconel 718 by reduction of temperature at tool-work interface region and also the parametric effect using response surface methodology (RSM). Minimum quantity lubrication unit allows the cutting fluid to flow out of the nozzle at minimum speed to the cutting region which provides maximum volume of heat removal at very minimized usage of fluid. RSM technique is being implemented to improvise the experimental runs with proper way of extracting the readings and providing the observations. Instead of generating huge datas, RSM shows the accurate path of providing the data in a specified generative table. [copyright information to be updated in production process] 2022 -

Automated Fetal Brain Localization, Segmentation, and Abnormalities Detection Through Random Sample Consensus
The ability to detect and identify prenatal brain abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical, as one in every 1000 women is pregnant with one. The brain is abnormal. Detection of embryonic brain abnormalities at an early stage machine learning techniques can help you increase the quality of your data. Treatment planning and diagnosis according to the literature that the majority of the research done in order to classify brain abnormalities in the term "very early age" refers to preterm newborns and neonates, not fetal development. However, studies of prenatal brain MRI imaging have been published and compared these images to the MRI scans of newborns to identify a non-fetal aberrant behavior in neonates. In this case, a pipeline procedure, on the other hand, is time-consuming. In this research, a machine learning-based pipeline process for fetal brain categorization (FBC) is proposed. The classification of fetal brain anomalies at an early stage, before the baby is delivered, is the paper's key contribution. The proposed approach uses a flexible and simple method with cheap processing cost to detect and categorize a variety of abnormalities from MRI images with a wide range of fetal gestational age (GA). Segmentation, augmentation, feature extraction, and classification and detecting anomalies of the fbrain are different phases of the recent method. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Reconceptualizing Empowerment And Autonomy: Ethnographic Narratives From A Self Help Group In South India
The paper revisits academics' conceptualizations of women empowerment as stopping short of autonomy. It departs from the general observation that women empowerment movements by and large have failed to translate the new agency of women outside the domains of socio economy; that women empowerment movements' capacity to re-engage with patriarchal structures and ideologies is seriously contained. Through an ethnography of Kudumbashree, an SHG in the South Indian state of Keralam, we question the neat distinctions between empowerment and autonomy that prevail in the academic common sense. The transition of agency from the economic to the political domain is a subtle enterprise and is mediated by a number of factors including the economic independence, decision making capability and political participation. Socio -economic - political implications of women empowerment could be the first step in challenging and overcoming the relations of oppression in any society. The stereotypical assumptions can be negotiated by solely apportioning responsibilities and re-engaging with the system through everyday practices. The nuances of empowered women's re-engagement with local gender/power regimes lead to changes at the conceptual level that cuts beyond the individual and group level material transformations.
