Comparative Analysis of Prediction Algorithms for Heart Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading source of demises universally: More individuals perish yearly from heart disease than due to any other reason. An estimated 17.9 million humans died from CVDs in 2016, constituting 31% of all global deaths. [1] Such high rates of death due to heart diseases have to cease. This idea can be accelerated by the prediction of risk of CVDs. If a person can be medicated much earlier, before they have any symptoms that can be far more beneficial in averting sickness. The paper strives to communicate this issue of heart diseases employing various prediction models and optimizing them for better outcomes. The accuracy of each algorithm guides to a relative enquiry of these prediction models, forming a solid base for further research, finer prognosis and detection of diabetes. 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Comparative experimental study of base line and thermal barrier coated four stroke four cylinder diesel fueled engine with low heat rejection
The depletion of conventional fuel source at a fast rate and increasing of environment pollution motivated extensive research in energy efficient engine design. In the present work, experimental investigations were carried out on a four-stroke four-cylinder diesel-fuelled Base Line Engine (BLE) by conducting a normal load test and measuring the required Brake Thermal Efficiency (BThE) and Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) in a 100 HP dyno facility. A six-gas Analyser was used for the measurement of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (UBHC), Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), free Oxygen (O2), Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Sulphur oxides (SOx) and a smoke meter was used to measure smoke opacity. Low Heat Rejection (LHR) engine was realized by coating the crown of the aluminium alloy piston with the most popular Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) material, namely 8%Yttria Partially Stabilized Zirconia (8YPSZ), after coating qualification on research pistons, specifically fabricated to retain the piston material specification, and the geometry of the crown contour. A normal load test was conducted on LHR engine to evaluate the performance as well as to determine the concentration of pollutants. A ~30% improvement in BThE and ~35% improvement in SFC was exhibited by the LHR engine at all loads studied (7 to 64%). While UBHC level showed an increase, the CO, CO2 and O2 contents as revealed in the emission test showed a mixed response (high and low) for an LHR engine. Compared with BLE, NOx and smoke level in LHR engine emission showed an increasing trend with the load. On comparing BLE and LHR engine test results, value addition to the BLE in terms of reduced fuel consumption and pollutants was observed. Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Malaysia. -
Comparative optimization studies (Isp 4 vs isp 3 vs isp 2 media) of mangrovian streptomyces pluripotens anukcjv1 for its ?-amylase production and geographical correlation of mangrovian actinomycetes strains
Streptomyces pluripotens ANUKCJV1 was isolated from Coringa Mangroves which was located along the South Indian Delta. The Current work which was in continuation to our previously reported work which suggests that Streptomyces pluripotens ANUKCJV1 was the potential strain and the same has been subjected to comparative optimization studies in the current work by employing three media: ISP 4; ISP 3; ISP 2 media for enhanced ?-Amylase Production. Physico-Chemical variables viz Incubation period, PH, Temperature, Carbon and Nitrogen sources with respect to three different media (ISP 4, ISP 3 and ISP 2) were tested and cumulative analysis of three different media for differential bioactivity of ?-Amylase was done. Results suggest that ISP 4 found to be the best medium with cumulative value of 24.2 U/mL, where as the cumulative value of ISP 3 and ISP 2 were 19.3 U/mL and 19.4 U/mL respectively. Peptone as Nitrogen source of ISP 4 found to be the favourite Individual variable among all with production value of 8.0 U/mL. Geographical correlation with respect to number of Actinomycetes strains and ?-Amylase Bioactivity depicts that Distant geographical soil samples from the shore found to be favourable for higher number of Actinomycetes strains: A1 soil samples (~ 500 m)-33 %; A2 samples (~ 400 m)-22 %. With regard to ?-Amylase Bioactivity, A5 samples (~ 100 m) analysed to be the potential geographical bioactive zone for ?-Amylase Production. From the study it can be concluded that since ISP 4 found to be the favourite medium of the potential strain, by employing the same large scale exploration of the Streptomyces pluripotens ANUKCJV1 of the Coringa Mangroves may be done to tap the industrial benefits of ?-Amylase.

Comparative Performance of LSTM and ARIMA for the Short-Term Prediction of Bitcoin Prices
This research assesses the prediction of Bitcoin prices using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and long-short-term memory (LSTM) models. We forecast the price of Bitcoin for the following day using the static forecast method, with and without re-estimating the forecast model at each step. We take two different training and test samples into consideration for the cross-validation of forecast findings. In the first training sample, ARIMA outperforms LSTM, but in the second training sample, LSTM exceeds ARIMA. Additionally, in the two test-sample forecast periods, LSTM with model re-estimation at each step surpasses ARIMA. Comparing LSTM to ARIMA, the forecasts were much closer to the actual historical prices. As opposed to ARIMA, which could only track the trend of Bitcoin prices, the LSTM model was able to predict both the direction and the value during the specified time period. This research exhibits LSTM's persistent capacity for fluctuating Bitcoin price prediction despite the sophistication of ARIMA. 2023, University of Wollongong. All rights reserved. -
Comparative Study Analysis on News Articles Categorization using LSA and NMF Approaches
Due to exponentially growing news articles every day, most of their important data goes unnoticed. It is important to come up with the ability to automatically analyse these articles and segregate them based on the context and related to their particular domain. This paper applies topic modelling which is one of the most growing unsupervised machine learning fields on a million headlines articles in order to produce topics to describe the context of the news article. There are various generative models but we specifically focusing on the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) for implementing and evaluating news dataset. Furthermore, the findings reveal that both NMF and LSA are useful topic modelling tools and classification frameworks, but based on the experimental results the LSA model performed well to identify the hidden data with better mean coherence values and also consumes lesser execution time than NMF. 2022 IEEE. -
Comparative study of Breakdown Phenomena and Viscosity in Liquid Dielectrics
Liquid dielectrics are extensively used in electrical apparatus which are operating in distribution and transmission systems. The function of electrical equipment strongly depends on the conditions of liquid dielectric. Liquid dielectrics used are the most expensive components in power system apparatus like transformers and circuit breakers. A failure of these equipment would causes a heavy loss to the electrical industry and also utilities. Insulation failures are the leading cause of transformer failures and thus the liquid dielectrics plays a major role in the safe operation of transformers. One of the main causes for the failure of transformers is due to the presence of moisture. In this work, the life of insulating medium is estimated by comparing the Breakdown strength and Viscosity of different pure oils with that of the contaminated oils (which contains moisture) and also finding the alternative for mineral oil. vegetable oils which are reliable, cost-effective and environmental friendly even when they are contaminated. 2019 IEEE. -

Comparative study of phytoremediation of chromium contaminated soil by Amaranthus viridis in the presence of different chelating agents
Chromium is a harmful heavy metal to the environment due to the toxicity induced by it to plants and other living organisms. High concentration of Cr in soil poses severe toxicological problems ecosystem. Phytoremediation using different plants is an economical and environment-friendly method for removing Cr from soil. The addition of chelating agents augments the phytoex-traction using plants.The present study aimed to augment the Cr phytoremediation capacity of Amaranthus virdis, a predomi-nant plant species in the Cr-contaminated open dumpsites of Bangalore.. Phytoextraction of Cr by Amaranthus viridis was studied in the presence of different chelating agents viz. ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid (CA), growth pro-moting hormone-indoleacetic acid (IAA) and NPK fertiliser. A. viridis grown under different concentrations (5, 10 and 20 mg/Kg) of Cr were treated with 0.5g EDTA/Kg of soil, 0.5g CA/Kg of soil, 1mg IAA/Kg of soil and NPK (125 mg of nitrogen, 45 mg of phosphorous and 156 mg of potassium per Kg of soil). Results indicated that CA, at 10 mg/kg Cr supply, induced the highest uptake (up to 29.25 g/plant). Furthermore, the study revealed that CA amendment induced maximum Cr uptake in A. viridis at all levels of Cr supply as compared to other amendments. This was due to the increased solubility of Cr in the presence of citric acid and the amelioration of oxidative stress due to Cr to plants by citric acid. This study inferred that the non-hyperaccumulating plant, A. virdis could be used as a phytoremediator for Cr in the presence of citric acid in the places where it is grown abundantly. Author (s).
