subject: Asymmetric supercapacitor; Bismuth ferrite; Graphene quantum dots; Graphitic carbon nitride; Nanocomposite
description: Supercapacitors are potential energy storage devices with a broad range of applications. In this study, we are investigating a bismuth ferrite/graphitic carbon nitride/N-doped graphene quantum dots composite as an electrode material for supercapacitor applications. XRD patterns of the composite exhibit the different crystalline phases of the individual component and confirm the rhombohedral structure of the composite. The wafer-like structure of bismuth ferrite is produced via hydrothermal technique supported on 2D structures viz. graphitic carbon nitride and N-doped graphene quantum dots. Compared to bismuth ferrite and bismuth ferrite/graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) binary composite, the bismuth ferrite/g-CN/N-doped graphene quantum dots demonstrates a superior specific capacitance of 1472 F g?1 at 1 A g?1 current density. After 3000 charging-discharging cycles, the device maintains its cycling stability with 87% capacitance retention. A supercapacitor device is assembled utilizing bismuth ferrite/graphitic carbon nitride/N-doped graphene quantum dots and activated carbon as electrodes. This device shows a significantly improved performance with an energy density of 53.1 Wh kg?1 and a power density of 705.4 W kg?1. As a result, the composite electrode developed in this study is proved to be a potential electrode material for high-performance energy storage devices. 2022

Real-time Litter Recognition Using Improved YOLOv4 Tiny Algorithm
subject: fully connected layer; litter; object detection; prediction time; YOLOv4-Tiny
description: Littered roads have become a familiar sight in India. The main reason is the increasing population and inefficient waste disposal system. Since garbage collectors cannot pick litter in all the places, there is a need for an efficient way to detect it. Hence, a machine learning-based object detection model is used. In this, we have applied an improved YOLOv4-Tiny algorithm to detect the garbage, classify it and make the detection process easier on custom datasets. We have improved the algorithm in terms of the object prediction time, this is done by replacing a max pooling layer with one of two layers present in a fully connected layer. When an input is given, the algorithm detects the litter in the image with a bounding box around it along with the label and confidence score. The proposed model reduces the prediction time by 0.517 milliseconds less than the original algorithm employed which concludes that the object is predicted faster. 2022 IEEE.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence: Frameworks for Ensuring the Trustworthiness
subject: and Transparency; Autonomy; Control; Data Privacy; Fairness; Reliability; Safety and Security
description: The growing computer power and ubiquity of big data are allowing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain widespread adoption and applicability in a wide range of sectors. The absence of an explanation for the conclusions made by today's AI algorithms is a significant disadvantage in crucial decision-making systems. For example, existing black-box AI systems are vulnerable to bias and adversarial assaults, which can taint the learning and inference processes. Explainable AI (XAI) is a recent trend in AI algorithms that gives explanations for their AI conclusions. Many contemporary AI systems have been shown to be vulnerable to undetectable assaults, biased against underrepresented groups, and deficient in user privacy protection. These flaws damage the user experience and undermine people's faith in all AI systems. This study proposes a systematic way to tie the social science notions of trust to the technology employed in AI-based services and products. 2024 IEEE.

Hydrogen Sulfide-Induced Activatable Photodynamic Therapy Adjunct to Disruption of Subcellular Glycolysis in Cancer Cells by a Fluorescence-SERS Bimodal Iridium Metal-Organic Hybrid
subject: activatable PDT; ATP reduction; clinical validation; disrupting glycolysis; enhanced apoptosis; H2S depletion; stimuli-responsive activation
description: The practical application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) demands targeted and activatable photosensitizers to mitigate off-target phototoxicity common in always on photosensitizers during light exposure. Herein, a cyclometalated iridium complex-based activatable photodynamic molecular hybrid, Cy-Ir-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD), is demonstrated as a biomedicine for molecular precision. This design integrates a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-responsive NBD unit with a hydroxy-appended iridium complex, Cy-Ir-OH. In normal physiological conditions, the electron-rich Ir metal center exerts electron transfer to the NBD unit, quenches the excited state dynamics, and establishes a PDT-off state. Upon exposure to H2S, Cy-Ir-NBD activates into the potent photosensitizer Cy-Ir-OH through nucleophilic substitution. This mechanism ensures exceptional specificity, enabling targeted phototherapy in H2S-rich cancer cells. Additionally, we observed that Cy-Ir-NBD-induced H2S depletion disrupts S-sulfhydration of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme, impairing glycolysis and ATP production in the cellular milieu. This sequential therapeutic process of Cy-Ir-NBD is governed by the positively charged central iridium ion that ensures mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells. Dual-modality SERS and fluorescence imaging validate apoptotic events, highlighting Cy-Ir-NBD as an advanced theranostic molecular entity for activatable PDT. Finally, as a proof of concept, clinical assessment is evaluated with the blood samples of breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers, based on their H2S overexpression capability through SERS and fluorescence, revealing Cy-Ir-NBD to be a promising predictor for PDT activation in advanced cancer phototherapy. 2024 American Chemical Society.

An objective function based technique for devignetting fundus imagery using MST
subject: Average gradient of illumination component; Devignetting; Error of enhancement; Fundus imagery; Illumination correction; Modified sigmoid transform (MST); Objective function
description: Fundus photography is a powerful imaging modality that is utilized for detecting macular degeneration, retinal neoplasms, choroid disturbances, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. As the illumination source in fundus imaging is situated at the center of the fundus camera, the illumination at the peripheral regions of the images would be relatively less than the center, which is termed vignetting. Vignetting adversely affects the performance of computerized methods for analyzing fundus imagery. A devignetting method for fundus imagery based on the Modified Sigmoid Transform (MST) is proposed in this paper. Gain (A) and centering parameter (?) of MST have a crucial influence on its performance. For low values of the gain, local contrast is penalized, and the overall dynamic range is compressed. When the value of gain is very high, the images after the illumination correction will have a washed out appearance. The optimum value of gain is determined in this paper from an objective method based on two statistical indices, Average Gradient of Illumination Component (AGIC) and Error of Enhancement (EME). MST with gain value defined via objective methods is able to correct the uneven illumination in fundus images without penalizing the local contrast. The proposed method is compared with illumination equalization model, homomorphic filtering and Adaptive Gamma Correction (AGC) and was found to be superior in terms of naturality uniformity of background illumination, and computational speed. 2018

Plant Disease Detection and Classification using Emperor Penguin Optimizer (EPO) based Region Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN)
subject: computer vision; crop yield; deep learning (DL); Emperor Penguin Optimizer (EPO); Plant Disease Detection; Region Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN)
description: Agriculture stands as India's most crucial industry, despite grappling with a 35% annual loss in crop yield attributed to plant diseases. Traditionally, the detection of plant diseases has been a laborious process, hampered by insufficient laboratory infrastructure and expert knowledge. Plant disease detection methods that are automated provide a useful way to expedite the labor-intensive process of keeping an eye on large-scale agricultural fields and recognizing disease symptoms as soon as they appear on plant leaves. Current developments in deep learning (DL) and computer vision have highlighted the benefits of creating autonomous models for plant disease identification based on visible symptoms on leaves. In this study, we propose a novel method for detecting and classifying plant diseases by combining the Emperor Penguin Optimizer (EPO) with a Region Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN). The suggested methodology uses EPO to improve the discriminative power of features extracted from plant pictures, allowing for a more robust and accurate classification procedure. The Classification Region Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) is used to leverage spatial correlations within the image, allowing for exact disease region localization. The goal of this integration is to increase the overall efficiency and dependability of plant disease detection systems. The investigations made use of the well-known PlantVillage dataset, which comprises 54,305 data of different plant disease types in 38 categories. Furthermore, an analysis was carried out in comparison with similar advanced investigations. According to the experiment results, RCNN-EPO outperformed in terms of classification accuracy, achieving 94.552%. 2024 IEEE.

Impact of green bonds issuance on stock prices - Evidence from India
subject: Environment; Event Study; Green Bonds; Investors; Stock Prices
description: Today, with the increasing global warming, many companies are trying to adopt sustainable ways of producing the product and preserve the atmosphere. A green bond is one such financial tool that helps companies to raise the funds for social and eco-friendly projects. Keeping this in view and the Indian market emerging as the second-largest bond market in terms of green bond issuance; this paper aims to identify the impact on stock prices due to the issuance of green bonds by the companies. We conduct an event study to understand how the stock prices are subject to volatility due to green bond issuance during the period 2018-2021. The data is collected from secondary sources like Economic Times, Business Standard, Climate Bond Initiative, and the BSE website. The event window is assumed to be [-30,30], [-15, 15] and [-7, 7] days. Using Cumulative Average Abnormal returns and t-tests we understand the volatility of stock prices due to green bond issuance. The empirical results show that green bonds have a short-term impact on stock prices. Overall, the study can be a great input for the investors to understand the behavior of stocks due to the issuance of green bonds. 2023 Author(s).

Financial well-being A Generation Z perspective using a Structural Equation Modeling approach
subject: Financial behavior; Financial fragility; Financial literacy; Financial technology; India
description: The current pandemic situation in the global economy has urged the need to revolutionize the financial services industry with a keen eye on consumers financial needs for sound financial decisions, which is necessary for financial well-being. The purpose of the study is to assess the financial well-being of Indian Gen Z students in relation to financial literacy, financial fragility, financial behavior, and financial technology. In addition, the study also tries to determine how Gen Z students financial well-being is influenced by other factors such as gender, age, parental education, employment status, and monthly income in India. The study uses the scientific data analysis approach, Partial Least Squares-SEM model to estimate, predict, and assess the hypotheses. A sample of 271 University students from India was surveyed using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Questions were incorporated to understand the effect of financial literacy, technology, fragility, behavior, demographic and parental characteristics on financial well-being. The results indicate that financial behavior is positively related to financial well-being, while financial fragility is negatively associated. However, financial literacy and financial technology do not significantly affect financial well-being. The results also show that financial well-being is significantly influenced by gender, parental education, employment status, and monthly income change. Understanding Indian Gen Z student financial well-being will expand the students understanding of the importance of financial literacy for well-planned financial behavior and informed decisions, hence high levels of financial well-being. Government and financial institutions can more effectively identify gaps and deficiencies in student financial well-being. 2022 LLC CPC Business Perspectives. All rights reserved.

A mathematical model that describes the relation of low-density lipoprotein and oxygen concentrations in a stenosed artery
subject: Endothelium; Finite element method; Hypoxia; Recirculation; Wall shear stress
description: The cellular activities of the endothelium layer between lumen and intima are significantly linked to the origin of the disease atherosclerosis. Three stages of atherosclerosis were investigated in this study (40%-mild, 50%-modest, and 60%-acute) concerning the coronary arterial segment. The essence of the hemodynamic factors like flow velocity, pressure, and wall shear stress has been investigated, as well as the interrelationships between them. At all degrees of stenosis, the biophysical relationship between convection-diffusion of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and convection-diffusion of oxygen in the bloodstream is investigated. The Finite Element Methods (FEM) are used to solve the modeled partial differential equation systems. The method adopted is numerical in nature providing accurate graphical solutions to the framed systems. The physical effects of the deposition of LDL on the arterial wall, like a decrease in the diameter of the lumen, and toughening of the walls, are analyzed through the evaluation of the physical parameters. The study revealed that the deposition of LDL molecules in the post stenotic region leads to the depletion of oxygen in the region leading to the rapid dysfunctioning of the endothelial layer of the lumen-intima boundary. 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company.

THE ANALYSIS OF THE FLOW OF BLOOD IN A STENOSED ARTERY THROUGH SIMULATION: A COMPARISON AMONG VARIOUS NON-NEWTONIAN MODELS
subject: atherosclerosis; Coronary artery; low-density lipoprotein; rheology; stenosis
description: This paper focuses on the dual quality of blood, Newtonian and non-Newtonian, in particular by exploring the energy curves. Careful investigation of the dual property of blood has been made by considering two different geometries to represent a stenosed arterial segment. We present a cautious assessment of non-Newtonian blood rheology impacts in arterial stream simulations by coupling the Newtonian and non-Newtonian models. The flow of energy through the two flow dimensions is meticulously investigated using velocity (kinetic energy), pressure, and wall shear stress (pressure energy). Besides, the proper implementation of an interface boundary condition (IBC) was emphasized to ensure consistency with the flow conditions downstream of a backward-facing step. The integration of the Newtonian and non-Newtonian models adjoins the novelty of the current research. The energy curves are obtained by implementing five different non-Newtonian models to designate a suitable non-Newtonian model for blood flow investigations. The combination of the non-Newtonian models enforced in this research is novel and particular attention is paid to the energy curves obtained. The conclusion was to elect the Carreau model as a suitable non-Newtonian rheological model for the blood flow study. This study was able to finalize the fact that the coupling of Newtonian and non-Newtonian models is necessary to obtain accurate results. For the sinusoidal waveform considered for the velocity, Carreau and the Power law models yield better results, eliminating the other non-Newtonian models from the list. With a better inlet condition imposed in the form of the Fourier series for pressure and velocity, the Carreau model yields the best results. 2024 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Possibilities for the Flow of Water and Blood through a Graphene Layer in a Geometry Analogous to Human Arterioles: An Observational Study
subject: Newtonian; permeability; porosity; viscosity; von mises stress; wall shear stress
description: Atherosclerosis and aneurysm are two non-communicable diseases that affect the human arterial network. The arterioles undergo dimensional changes that prominently influence the flow of oxygen and nutrients to distal organs and organ systems. Several studies have emerged discussing the various possibilities for the circumstances surrounding the existence of these pathologies. In the present work, we analyze the flow of blood across the stenosis and the aneurysmic sac in contrast with the flow of water to explore alterations in the flow characteristics caused by introduction of the graphene layer. We investigate the blood flow past the graphene layer with varying porosity. The study is undertaken to replace usage of a stent along a blocked artery by inserting a thin layer of graphene along the flow channel in the post-pathological section of the geometry. To explain the flow, a 2D mathematical model is constructed, and the validity and exclusivity of the models solution are examined. When the artery wall is assumed to be inelastic, the computation of the mathematical system is evaluated using a finite element method (FEM) solver. We define a new parameter called critical porosity (Formula presented.) to explore the flow possibilities through the graphene layer. The findings indicate that the flow pattern was adversely affected by the graphene layer that was added to the flow field. The negative impact on the flow could be due to the position of the graphene layer placed. The (Formula presented.) values for the flow of blood across healthy arteriole, stenosed arteriole, and aneurysmic arteriole segments were (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) respectively. The critical porosity values were achieved with precision in terms of linear errors (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.), and (Formula presented.), respectively. The consequences of the present study disclose various possible ways to utilize graphene and its compounds in the medical and clinical aren…
