Classification of Soil Images using Convolution Neural Networks
subject: Convolution Neural Network; Soil classification; Supervised learning; Transfer learning
description: Classification of soil is crucial for the agricultural domain as it is an essential task in geology and engineering domains. Various procedures are proposed to classify soil types in the literature, but many of them consumed much time or required specially designed equipments/applications. Classification of soil involves the accounting of various factors due to its diversified nature. It can be observed that several critical domain-oriented decisions often depend on the type of soil like farmers might be benefitted from knowing the kind of soil to choose crops accordingly for cultivation. We have employed different Convolution Neural Network (CNN) architectures to identify the soil type accurately in real-time. This paper describes the comparative evaluation in terms of performances of various CNN architectures, namely, ResNet50, VGG19, MobileNetV2, VGG16, NASNetMobile, and InceptionV3. These CNN models are used to classify four types of soils: Clay, Black, Alluvial, and Red. The performance of the ResNet50 model is the best with a training accuracy and training loss of 99.47% and 0.0252, respectively compared to other competing models considered in this paper. 2021 IEEE.

Classification of supply chain knowledge: A morphological approach
subject: Epistemological classification; Knowledge classification; Knowledge management; Morphological analysis; Ontological classification; Supply chain knowledge
description: Purpose The purpose of the article is to create a knowledge classification model that can be used by knowledge management (KM) practitioners for establishing a knowledge management framework (KMF) in a supply chain (SC) network. Epistemological and ontological aspects of knowledge have been examined. SC networks provide a more generic setting for managing knowledge due to the additional issues concerning flow of knowledge across the boundaries of organizations. Design/methodology/approach Morphological analysis has been used to build the knowledge classification model. Morphological approach is particularly useful in exploratory research on concepts/ entities having multiple dimensions. Knowledge itself has been shown in literature to have many characteristics, and the methodology used has enabled a comprehensive classification scheme based on such characteristics. Findings A single comprehensive classification model for knowledge that exists in SC networks has been proposed. Nine characteristics, each possessing two or more value options, have been finally included in the model. Research limitations/implications Knowledge characteristics have been mostly derived from past research with the exception of three which have been introduced without empirical evidence. Although the article is primarily about SC knowledge, the results are fairly generic. Practical implications The proposed model would be of use in developing KM policies, procedures and establishing knowledge management systems in SC networks. The model will cater to both system and people aspects of a KMF. Originality/value The proposed knowledge classification model based on morphological analysis fills a gap in a vital area of research in KM as well as SC management. No similar classification model of knowledge with all its dimensions has been found in literature. Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Classification, source, and effect of environmental pollutants and their biodegradation
subject: Bioremediation; Environmental pollutants; Photoremediation; Xenobiotic biotransformation
description: Any foreign chemical substance that is unusually present within an organism or is unexpectedly found in the environment at a higher concentration than the permissible limits can be termed a xenobiotic or a pollutant. Such substances include carcinogens, drugs, food additives, hydrocarbons, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides or even some natural compounds. Pollutants are known for their higher persistence and pervasiveness, and along with their transformed products, they can remain in and interact with the environment for prolonged periods. In this article, the classification of such substances based on their nature, use, physical state, pathophysiological effects, and sources is discussed. The effects of pollutants on the environment, their biotransformation in terms of bioaccumulation, and the different types of remediation such as in situ and ex situ remediation, are also presented. 2017 Begell House, Inc.

Classifying AI-generated summaries And Human Summaries Based on Statistical Features
subject: AI-generated summaries; and feature-based techniques; classification models; Grid Search technique; Logistic Regression; NLG classification; Random Forest; SVM
description: In an age where artificial intelligence knows no bounds, it's crucial to know if the textual content is reliable. But, the task of identifying AI-generated content within vast volumes of textual data is a big challenge. The existing studies in feature-based classification only explored prompt-based text responses. This paper explores methods to identify AI-generated summaries using feature-based machine-learning techniques. This study uses the BBC News Summary dataset. The summaries for the dataset are then generated using three of the top-performing summarisation models. Different statistical features like Zipf's Law Score, Flesch Reading Ease Score, and the Gunning Fog Index are used for extracting features for the classification model. The aim is to differentiate AI-generated summaries from human-written summaries. The main part of the study involves extracting the statistical features from the summarized texts, which are then classified using different classification models. Different models like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression models are used in the paper. Grid Search is also used to fine-tune SVM for the best results. The right model depends on what the need is. Whether it's accuracy, F1 score, or a mix of both, there are different options to lead you to the truth. The feature-based approach in this paper helps in more explainable classification and can compare how statistical text features are different for human-written summaries and generated summaries. 2024 IEEE.

Classifying bipolar personality disorder (bpd) using long short-term memory (lstm)
subject: AUC; Borderline personality disorder (BPD); Gated recurrent unit (GRU); Long short-term memory (LSTM); Recurrent neural network (RNN)
description: With the advancement in technology, we are offered new opportunities for long-term monitoring of health conditions. There are a tremendous amount of opportunities in psychiatry where the diagnosis relies on the historical data of patients as well as the states of mood that increase the complexity of distinguishing between bipolar disorder and borderline disorder during diagnosis. This paper is inspired by prior work where the symptoms were treated as a time series phenomenon to classify disorders. This paper introduces a signature-based machine learning model to extract unique temporal pattern that can be attributed as a specific disorder. This model uses sequential nature of data as one of the key features to identify the disorder. The cases of borderline disorder that are either passed down genetically from parents or stem from exposure to intense stress and fear during childhood are discussed in this study. The model is tested with the synthetic signature dataset provided by the Alan Turing Institute in signature-psychiatry repository. The end result has 0.95 AUC which is an improvement over the last result of 0.90 AUC.

Classifying voice-based customer query using machine learning technique
subject: Feature extraction; Stemming; Tokenization; Vectorization; Voice recognition
description: Timely attention to issues raised by customers is critical. It is imperative that the average handling time is lesser, which in turn contributes to productivity. It was found from the data from the banking industry in the US that, on average, a customer service call last for seven minutes. The first two minutes are for the call to get redirected to the respective team. This study investigates a method using machine learning to classify and redirect the customers into the respective department directly based on their initial voice response or voice message. It will substantially reduce the service time. CRISP-DM methodology is being used to design the process of the study. The most frequently occurring issues and the department to which they are associated are created through machine learning from the dataset that contained product reviews and metadata of different issues. The programming languages that are used in this study are Python, HTML and Java. An interface is created by using HTML, which makes it quite user-friendly. The study tests the effectiveness of converting voice to text and interprets which department the call should be transferred to address the issue. A support vector machine and a logistic regression model were used for the prediction, and it was found that the models provided an accuracy of 83 and 84 percent, respectively. The study proves that using ML and voice recognition reduces the average handling time. 2021 Ecological Society of India. All rights reserved.

Clay-based cementitious nanofluid flow subjected to Newtonian heating
subject: clay nanoparticles; Constant proportional Caputo fractional derivative; Newtonian heating; slippage conditions; Zakian's algorithms
description: In recent years, a novel technique for producing robust cementitious materials, called nanocomposites, has emerged. These materials are comprised of clay minerals and polymers. As a result, a vertical flat plate has been used to evaluate a clay-based cementitious nanofluid in this research. The impacts of first-order chemical reactions, heat generation/heat absorption, and the Jeffrey fluid model are taken into account for the study of flow. Newtonian heating and the conditions for slippage velocity have also been considered. The mathematical problem for the flow analysis has been established in relations of partially coupled partial differential equations and the model has been generalized using constant proportional Caputo (CPC) fractional derivative. The problem is solved using the Laplace transform technique to provide precise analytical solutions. On the concentration, temperature, and velocity fields, the physics of a number of crucial flow parameters have been examined graphically. The acquired results have been condensed to a very well-known published work to verify the validity of the current work. It is important to note here that the rate of heat transfer in the fluid decreases by 10.17% by adding clay nanoparticles, while the rate of mass transfer decrease by 1.31% when the value of ? reaches 0.04. 2023 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Climate anxiety, wellbeing and pro-environmental action: correlates of negative emotional responses to climate change in 32 countries
subject: Climate activism; Climate change; Climate change anxiety; Emotions; Pro-environmental behaviour; Wellbeing
description: This study explored the correlates of climate anxiety in a diverse range of national contexts. We analysed cross-sectional data gathered in 32 countries (N = 12,246). Our results show that climate anxiety is positively related to rate of exposure to information about climate change impacts, the amount of attention people pay to climate change information, and perceived descriptive norms about emotional responding to climate change. Climate anxiety was also positively linked to pro-environmental behaviours and negatively linked to mental wellbeing. Notably, climate anxiety had a significant inverse association with mental wellbeing in 31 out of 32 countries. In contrast, it had a significant association with pro-environmental behaviour in 24 countries, and with environmental activism in 12 countries. Our findings highlight contextual boundaries to engagement in environmental action as an antidote to climate anxiety, and the broad international significance of considering negative climate-related emotions as a plausible threat to wellbeing. 2022 The Authors

subject: BWSSB piped water; Groundwater; Intermittent supply; Price discrimination; Private water tankers; Water security
description: Rapid urbanisation and neglect towards traditional water bodies have aggravated water security issues in isolated pockets. In the recent past, they have also manifested into natural disasters in major urban centres such as Bengaluru (Bangalore), Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. An examination of the problem is essential to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal on water security laid down by the United Nations in the context of climate change. This paper explores the various socio-economic costs of water scarcity through a case study of Yelenahalli village in Bengaluru. The study's preliminary results find that the encroachment of water bodies has led to a significant cost to households and local governments. Water scarcity is found to have a differential impact on poor and non-poor households in terms of access and the resultant water consumption due to the prevalence of price discrimination in the private water markets. The disparity in access to water is exacerbated despite the government's commencement of piped water supply due to worsening climate conditions and falling groundwater levels. The Author(s), 2023.

Climate Change Impact on Water Resources, Food Production and Agricultural Practices
subject: Agriculture; Climate change; Food security; Hydrological cycle; Water resources management
description: The greatest threat to human health that exists today is climate change. Ecosystems, societies and biodiversity are seriously at risk from the long term effects due to change in climate, primarily brought on by human activities. Rising temperatures increase evaporation, which causes drought and decreases water availability for ecosystems, drinking water supplies and agriculture. Changed precipitation patterns exacerbate floods, storms and sea levels, contaminating the water supply and harming infrastructure. The effects of rapidly changing climate on water resources must be minimised through sustainable water management techniques, conservation initiatives and International initiatives. The effects of climate change on the long run have been the focus of research because stable weather significantly influences agricultural productivity. Due to agricultures reliance on temperature and rainfall, climate change threatens world food security. Rising temperature results in lower productivity and also promotes the growth of weeds and pests, changes precipitation patterns, which will result in more crop failures and production declines. This work summarises the outcome of climate change on crop and livestock yields, water resources and the economy. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Climate Change inflicted Environmental Degradation leading to the Crumbling of Arctic Ecosystem
subject: Arctic ecosystem; ecological disturbances; Permafrost meltdown; SDG; seismic activity
description: The Arctic and Antarctic regions serve as the air conditioners of planet Earth. The polar regions located thousands of miles away from us determine the climatic patterns of our geographical area. They maintain our planet at bearable temperatures which are ideal for the existence of diverse flora and fauna and to support different types of ecosystems all around the world. Apart from controlling the temperatures, they also regulate ocean currents which in turn have an effect on the monsoons, winds, hurricanes etc. The poles were pristine till a few decades back. Due to mans greed, the poles started deteriorating at an alarming scale. Climate change, biodiversity changes, oil drilling, seismic testing, toxin accumulation are a few of the challenges faced by the Arctic ecosystem having serious effects on its topography, terrestrial and marine life-forms and the whole ecosystem. Due to the alarming scale of global warming, there is also the danger of permafrost meltdown which can unleash a plethora of dangerous pathogens buried underneath and also let out the huge amounts of locked down carbon. The crumbling of the polar ecosystem is leading to rampant consequences not only in the poles but also elsewhere in the world thousands of miles away. Here, we attempt to discuss the repercussions of the crumbling Arctic ecosystem due to the physical, chemical and geological changes caused by such anthropogenic activities and look at the efforts being carried out to save the Arctic ecosystem in a frantic effort to save our planet. 2024, World Researchers Associations.

Climate predictors in Indian summer monsoon forecasting: a novel De-correlated RVFL ensemble strategy
subject: Artificial intelligence; De-correlated neural network; Ensemble learning; Negative correlation learning; Predictive modeling
description: Excessive rainfall and droughts harshly impact India's social and economic growth. Though several statistical methods have been used in literature to predict Indian monsoons, uncertainties cannot be ruled out. The accuracy prediction of ISMR (Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall) is scientifically demanding. From this perspective, it is essential to explore exploiting machine learning techniques. In this paper, a novel De-correlated Regularized Random Vector Functional Link Neural Network Ensemble (DRRNE) prediction approach was proposed using Climate Predictors such as Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly (SST), El-Ni Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and Dipole Mode Index (DMI) to predict ISMR. The proposed work has also investigated the predictability of climate above predictors using the DRRNE approach to predict ISMR. In addition to the predictors above, the data for an 8-year training window time series for June to September is combined and analyzed for four predictors (ENSO, DMI, SOI, and SST) to derive another predictor, ENSO-DMI-SOI-SST (EDSS). It is found that the combination of these four predictors- the EDSS- produces better accuracy than using any of the individual predictors in this study. Among the individual predictors (ENSO, DMI, SOI, and SST), the DMI predictor has shown the best predictability for ISMR prediction. Thus, the suggestedstudy concludes that the DRRNE technique with negative correlation learning may be a suitable tool for predicting the ISMR using the combined outcome of the four climate predictorsas mentioned above.
