Classification of Diseased Leaves in Plants Using Convolutional Neural Networks
subject: Convolutional neural network; Diseased leaf
description: The article focuses on the classification of diseased leaves using a machine learning algorithm. The main focus in agriculture is controlling pests and weeds, for which farmers spray chemical pesticides to get a good yield. The issue here is over-usage and under-usage of pesticides, which might harm the end consumer. To achieve the goal of reducing pesticide use and detecting pests in the crop early, the machine learning algorithm is deployed on the leaf image. The image data of the leaf of the cauliflower plant is collected for 40days. The data was collected from the day the plant was seeded in a pot until the day it was ready to be planted in the soil. From this data, the pest attack on the plants is tracked without the application of pesticides. To achieve this, the CNN algorithm is used on the collected image data. The outcome of the study would be to classify the diseased leaves based on the pest attack and know the right time to spray the pesticides to reduce the damage to the plant. This also reduces the use of pesticides and costs to the farmer. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.

subject: Deep Learning; EfficientNetB3; Mobile Application; Pathology detection; Plant Disease; Regularization; Transfer Learning
description: It is known that accurately identifying, early and timely treatment and elimination of the plant diseases is essential for crop protection and healthy crop growth. In traditional or conventional methods, identification and classification were done by testing in laboratories or through visual inspection by farmers. Now going through the testing in labs is very time consuming, while the visual inspection requires enough experience and knowledge. To solve this problem, our study proposes a robust plant pathogen detection method based on a Deep Learning approach on a large dataset containing about 38 categories of different species like Maize, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Bell Pepper, Peach, Strawberry etc. and diseases like rust, molds, blight (late and early). This crop disease detection model leverages the power of the EfficientNetB3 architecture, a state-of-art convolutional neural network(CNN). The main backbone is served by EfficientNetB3and then it is fine-tuned using different hyperparameters and other regularization techniques like weight decay, dropout method and optimizers like RAdam,to enhance the overall accuracy coupled with dynamic learning rate adjustment. In the testing set of the dataset, the proposed model shows encouraging accuracy of about 99.25%, high precision of about 97.35%. A thorough evaluation of the model's functionality is given by the help of training and validation line chart and loss chart that gives the in-depth information on the prediction. And then we implemented the detection model in our mobile application whose interface screen shots are given below. In the application the image can be taken by camera or fed from folders and it will detect the type of disease. 2024 IEEE.

An Analysis of Manufacturing Machine Failures and Optimization Using Replacement Year Prediction
subject: Failure rate; Machine learning; Manufacturing failures; Operations research; Random forest classifier; Replacement years; Statistical analysis
description: The manufacturing industry is highly susceptible to equipment failures, leading to costly downtime, production delays, and increased maintenance expenses. Effective maintenance planning and resource allocation depend on the early detection of possible faults and the precise forecasting of replacement years. The fundamental technique for assuring operational resilience, limiting disruptions, and improving preventative maintenance processes is manufacturing failure analysis. It entails the methodical analysis of failures and spans several sectors, including the automobile, aerospace, electronics, and heavy machinery. In this research, an integrated methodology for predicting replacement years in the manufacturing industry using operations research approaches and the Python-based machine learning algorithm Random Forest Classifier (RFC) is proposed. The program first calculates the total failure rate after importing manufacturing data from a dataset. The failure rate for each manufacturing line is then determined, and the lines with a high failure rate are identified. The program uses machine learning to improve the analysis by teaching a Random Forest classifier to anticipate failures. The model's performance is assessed by measuring the accuracy of a test set. To determine machine replacement years, it also incorporates replacement theory assumptions. Based on the company's founding year and the current year, it determines the replacement year considering the machine's lifespan. This program's advantages include recognizing production lines with high failure rates, employing machine learning to forecast problems, and offering suggestions on when to replace machines. Manufacturers may enhance their processes, lower failure rates, and increase overall efficiency by utilizing statistical analysis, machine learning, andoptimizationstrategies. As technology advances, the field of failure analysis will continue to evolve, enabling firms to achieve improvements. The Author(…

Enhancing Mobility: A Smart Cane with Integrated Navigation System and Voice-Assisted Guidance for the Visually Impaired
subject: audio feedback; Blind mobility; haptic feedback; Navigation; Smart Cane; Ultrasonic sensor; vibration motor; voice control
description: Blindness is a condition which affects many people, and for the affected people, quality of life can take a big hit. Most blind people already use walking sticks to feel the terrain in front of them as they move around and navigate using touch and sound. However, they cannot judge distances to objects until the cane actually hits the object. In some cases, the contact with the cane may damage the object. Hence, it may be better to have some early warning system so that there is less likelihood of causing damage. This paper presents the design and development of a 'Smart Cane' aimed at enhancing mobility and safety for visually impaired individuals. The cane incorporates ultrasonic sensors to detect objects in the user's surroundings. When an object is detected within a specified distance range, the cane provides haptic feedback through a bidirectional vibration motor, alerting the user to its presence. The microcontroller-based system processes data from both sensors and efficiently manages power consumption to ensure extended battery life. The device's design includes user-friendly controls and an ergonomic enclosure to offer ease of use and protection for the electronic components. Further, there is built-in navigation via online Map API. With the convenience of navigating oneself without external assistance, the 'Smart Cane' demonstrates great potential to improve the independence and confidence of visually impaired individuals in navigating their environments safely. 2024 IEEE.

Brain Tumor Localization Using Deep Ensemble Classification and Fast Marching Segmentation
subject: Brain tumor detection; Deep learning; Ensemble; Fast marching; Segmentation
description: A brain tumor is an unusual and excessive growth of brain cells, which can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). These growths can be risky as they press on healthy brain tissue or expand in the brain. Detecting brain tumors early is tough for radiologists. A typical brain tumor can double in size in just 25days, and without the right treatment, patients often have limited chances of survival, about six months. Initial symptoms can be confused with other illnesses, and brain cancer is difficult to diagnose because of the complex nature of the brain and tumor locations. In this study, we propose a strategy where we first sort medical images based on the presence of a brain tumor. Then, we pinpoint the part of the image containing the tumor through segmentation. We use a combined model of MobileNet-V3 and EfficientNetV2 for image classification. To segment the tumor in the image, we use a fast marching method. The combined model's classification accuracy is 98%, and the segmentation accuracy is 99.6%. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.

Theoretical Studies ond(?,p)n atAstrophysical Energies
description: The photonuclear reactions using deuterium target finds application in nuclear physics, laser physics and astrophysics. The studies related to deuteron photodisintegration using polarized photons has been the focus of interest since 1998 which influenced many experimental studies which were carried out using 100% linearly polarized photons at Duke free electron Laser laboratory. Theoretical study on deuteron photodisintegration was carried out and in these studies the possibility of 3 different E1v amplitudes leading to the final n-p state in the continuum was discussed. As there is experimental evidence about the splitting of 3 E1vp- wave amplitudes at slightly higher energies, we hope that the same may be true at near threshold energies also. As the spin dependent variables are more sensitive to theoretical inputs and the data obtained on polarization observables are more sensitive to theoretical calculations, there is a considerable interest on studies related to the reaction. More recently, neutron polarization in d(?,n)p was studied at near threshold energies. In this regard the purpose of the present contribution is to extend this study to discuss proton polarization in d(?,p)n reaction using model independent irreducible tensor formalism at near threshold energies of interest to astrophysics.

subject: Bibliometric analysis; Cluster formation; Cluster head; Cluster stability; Clustering; VANET; VOS viewer
description: In recent years, Traffic management and road safety has become a major concern for all countries around the globe. Many techniques and applications based on Intelligent Transportation Systems came into existence for road safety, traffic management and infotainment. To support the Intelligent Transport System, VANET has been implemented. With the highly dynamic nature of VANET and frequently changing topology network with high mobility of vehicles or nodes, dissemination of messages becomes a challenge. Clustering Technique is one of the methods which enhances network performance by maintaining communication link stability, sharing network resources, timely dissemination of information and making the network more reliable by using network bandwidth efficiently. This study uses bibliometric analysis to understand the impact of Clustering techniques on VANET from 2017 to 2022. The objective of the study was to understand the trends & advancement in clustering in VANET through bibliometric analysis. The publications were extracted from the Dimension database and the VOS viewer was used to visualize the research patterns. The findings provided valuable information on the publication author, authors country, year, authors organization affiliation, publication journal, citation etc. Based on the findings of this analysis, the other researchers may be able to design their studies better and add more perception or understanding to their empirical studies.
