A Comprehensive Methodical Strategy for Forecasting Anticipated Time of Delivery in OnlineFood Delivery Organizations
Determining the cost of shipping has long been a cornerstone of urban logistics, but today's effective outcomes need acceptable precision. Around the globe, internet-based meal ordering and distribution services have surpassed public expectations; for example, in India, platform-to-consumer distributions and delivery of food and drinks reached an astounding amount of more than 290 million transactions in 2023. Businesses are required to provide customers with precise details on the time it will take for their food to be delivered, starting from the moment the purchase is placed until it reaches the customer's door. Customers won't place orders if the result measure is greater than the actual delivery date, but a greater number of consumers are going to contact the customer service line if the period of waiting falls shorter than their actual shipment period. This study's primary goals are to identify critical variables that affect the availability of nutritious food inspiring leaders as well as to provide an approach for making accurate predictions. Analyzing and contrasting the primary effects and challenges of distribution and shipping in the nation's many different sectors.

Experimental Design of Interoperable Smart Lighting for Elderly Care
Smart Home attains an active role in elderly care. Vision impairments caused by aging makes elders more dependent and affects the circadian rhythm or body clock. Some vision impairments can be improved by providing additional lighting. Smart lighting is the leading solution in providing adequate quality of lighting which helps elders to perform their daily activities independently. Various smart lighting solutions for elderly care are proposed in past and failed to consider about the energy loss due to over lighting. Additionally, the solutions are more independent in nature and not integrable to existing smart home solutions. To provide a solution to these ongoing challenges, an experimental design has been proposed to manage the adequate quality lighting for elderly people by controlling the illuminance and color temperature of the light with a feedback mechanism. Also, this experiment has integrated into a popular smart home platform. The proposed design keeps monitoring the ambient lighting and maintains the room's illumination as required for elderly individuals. The functional behaviors of the experimental design are evaluated using a testbed. The result shows that the proposed design reduces the energy usage more than 50% along with providing adequate lighting for elderly individuals. In addition, this experimental design promises that the proposed method can be easily integrated into any existing smart home solutions with its native scripting framework. 2024 IEEE. -
5G-UFMC System For PAPR Reduction Using SRC-Precoding With Different Numerologies
Universal Filtered Multicarrier (UFMC) has been incorporated in 5G and is likely to be considered in future generations (B5G). The prominent limitation of UFMC manifests as a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Our suggested approach to address the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) issue in UFMC signals involves the application of diverse precoding matrices, including Square Root Raised Cosine Function (SRC), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Discrete Hartley Transform (DHT).This technique reduces the PAPR performance of UFMC signals over current state of the art methods. In square root raised cosine (SRC) precoding techniques, a novel precoding matrix is adapted for minimizing PAPR and improvement of BER respectively. Results show that the different subcarrier was applied and surpasses all existing techniques in reduction of PAPR and BER improvement. A novel SRC-Precoding technique reduces PAPR by 5dB for considering 512 sample points with QAM modulation as compared to 10dB for the conventional technique. Additionally, the Bit Error Rate Performance is maintaining 14dB when compared to conventional technique. Furthermore, the evaluation of Bit Error Rate (BER) performance and Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) in the UFMC system reveals superior results compared to conventional technique. 2024 IEEE. -
Single-Stage Bidirectional Three-Level AC/DC LLC Resonant Converter with High Power Factor
The increasing demand for efficient and high-performance power converters in electric vehicle technology and renewable energy integration has brought attention to LLC resonant converters due to their advantages in soft switching, inherent short circuit and open circuit protection, and high efficiency. These converters are particularly well-suited for high-frequency operation, making them ideal for electric vehicle battery charging and other power conversion tasks. However, when integrated with a front-end boost power factor correction (PFC) stage in AC-DC applications, challenges arise in maintaining power balance during transients, leading to voltage fluctuations and potential operational instability. Moreover, light load conditions can result in excessive switching frequencies, causing elevated switching losses and control difficulties. Additionally, traditional LLC resonant converters face limitations related to high voltage stress on switches, which affects device reliability and overall converter performance. To address these issues, researchers have explored the use of multilevel inverters, but they introduce complexity and cost. In this context, this paper proposes a novel single-stage, three-level bidirectional AC-DC LLC-based resonant converter with features like zero voltage switching and duty ratio control for output voltage regulation. The converter achieves a unity displacement power factor naturally through discontinuous conduction mode. Simulation results demonstrate the converter's effectiveness of the proposed topology. The proposed converter offers a promising solution for Electric vehicle chargers, combining unity power factor operation and efficient bidirectional power flow control in a single topology. 2024 IEEE. -

A Hybrid Grayscale Image Scrambling Framework Using Block Minimization and Arnold Transform
Image disarranging is the process of randomly rearranging picture elements to make the visibility unreadable and break the link among neighboring elements. Pixel values often don't change while they are being scrambled. There has been a slew of proposed image encryption techniques recently. The two steps that most image encryption algorithms go through are confusion and diffusion. Using a scrambling technique, the pixel positions are permuted during the confusion phase, and an inverse-able function is used to modify the pixel values during the diffusion phase. A good scrambling method practically eliminates the high relationships between adjacent pixels in a picture. In the proposed scheme, XOR based minimization operator is applied on blocks of images followed by Arnold Transform. The suggested design is assessed using a matrix comprising the Structured Similarity Index and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio. The computed PSNR value less than 10 indicates the input image and scrambled image has high variation. The SSIM value nearer to 0 indicates no similarity in the structure of the input image and scrambled image. 2024 IEEE. -
Interpreting the Evidence on Life Cycle to Improve Educational Outcomes of Students Based on Generalized ARC-GRU Approach
Research on the effects of teachers' fatigue on students' learning has been significantly less common than research on the effects of teachers' fatigue on teachers' own performance. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to see if teachers' emotional weariness has any bearing on their students' performance in the classroom. Consideration is given to a student's grades and their impressions of whether or not the system receive assistance from teachers, as well as to the student's general outlook on school, confidence in their own abilities, and faith in the availability of faculty support. Data preparation, feature extraction, and model training are the first steps in the proposed approach. Indicators of the quality of the education being provided are eliminated (by outlier removal and feature scaling). k-mean clustering approach is a technique of clustering which is commonly used in feature extraction. Following feature extraction, GARCH-GRU models are trained. The proposed approach is superior to two popular alternatives, ARCH and GRU. Using the provided method, the system were able to achieve a maximum accuracy of 97.07%. 2024 IEEE. -
