Cyclic property of iterative eccentrication of a graph
The eccentric graph of a graph G, denoted by Ge, is a derived graph with the vertex set same as that of G and two vertices in Ge are adjacent if one of them is an eccentric vertex of the other. The process of constructing iterative eccentric graphs, denoted by Gek is called eccentrication. A graph G is said to be ?-cyclic(t,l) if G,Ge,Ge2,...,Gek,Gek+1,...,Gek+l are the only non-isomorphic graphs, and the graph Gek+l+1 is isomorphic to Gek. In this paper, we prove the existence of an ?-cycle for any simple graph. The importance of this result lies in the fact that the enumeration of eccentrication of a graph reduces to a finite problem. Furthermore, the enumeration of a corresponding sequence of graph parameters such as chromatic number, domination number, independence number, minimum and maximum degree, etc., reduces to a finite problem. 2023 World Scientific Publishing Company. -

Cytokine see-saw across pregnancy, its related complexities and consequences
During pregnancy, a woman's immune system adapts to the changing hormonal concentrations, causing immunologic transition. These immunologic changes are required for a full-term pregnancy, preserving the fetus' innate and adaptive immunity. Preterm labor, miscarriage, gestational diabetes mellitus, and pre-eclampsia are all caused by abnormal cytokine expression during pregnancy and childbirth. A disruption in the cytokine balance can lead to autoimmune diseases or microbiologic infections, or to autoimmune illness remission during pregnancy with postpartum recurrence. The cytokine treatments are essential and damaging to the developing fetus. The current review summarizes the known research on cytokine changes during pregnancy and their possible consequences for pregnant women. Studies suggest that customizing medication for each woman and her progesterone levels should be based on the cytokine profile of each pregnant woman. Immune cells and chemicals play an important function in development of the placenta and embryo. During pregnancy, T cells divide and move, and a careful balance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is necessary. The present review focuses on the mother's endurance in generating fetal cells and the immunologic mechanism involved. 2022 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. -

Dampers to Suppress Vibrations in Hydro Turbine-Generator Shaft Due to Subsynchronous Resonance
There are numerous applications to evaluate the damage caused by subsynchronous resonance (SSR) to a turbine-generator shaft. Despite multiple applications, there are relatively few studies on shaft misalignment in the literature. In this paper, stresses in the existing turbine-generator shaft due to subsynchronous resonance were studied using finite element analysis (FEA). The 3D finite element model reveals that the most stressed part of the shaft is near the generator terminal. A new nonlinear damping scheme is modeled to reflect the torsional interaction and to suppress the mechanical vibration caused by subsynchronous resonance (SSR). Stresses developed due to the addition of capacitors in the system at high rotational speeds and deformation of the shaft during various modes of oscillations were evaluated. Experimental investigations are carried out in reaction turbine connected to a 3kVA generator. Simulation is carried out for the experimental setup using ANSYS. According to the simulation results, the damper installed near the generator terminal provides satisfactory damping performance and the subsynchronous oscillations are suppressed. 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Dandelion Algorithm for Optimal Location and Sizing of Battery Energy Storage Systemsin Electrical Distribution Networks
This paper describes a new way to improve the performance of an EDN by integrating distributed battery energy storage systems (BESs) in the best way possible. This method is based on the Dandelion Algorithm (DA). The search space for BES locations is first predetermined using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs), and then DA is used to determine the optimal locations and sizes. The reduction of real power distribution loss is regarded as the primary objective function, and the impact of BESs is extended to examine the network voltage profile, voltage stability, and GHG emissions. IEEE 33-busEDN is used to calculate the computational efficiency of LSF-DA. Results show that DA is more efficient than Archimedes optimization (AOA), future search algorithm(FSA), pathfinder algorithm(PFA), and butterfly optimization algorithm(BOA) algorithms. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed DA enhances all technological and environmental factors and RDN performance.

DarcyForchheimer Nanoliquid Flow and Radiative Heat Transport over Convectively Heated Surface with Chemical Reaction
Abstract: Improving the heat transport of energy transmission fluids is a vital challenge in numerous engineering applications such as photovoltaic thermal management, heat exchangers, transport and energy-saving processes, solar collectors, automotive refrigeration, electronic equipment refrigeration, and engine applications. Nanofluids address the challenges of thermal management in engineering applications. The DarcyForchheimer flow of magneto-nanofluid initiated by a stretched plate is investigated with application of the Buongiorno model. The features of the nth order chemical reaction, Rosseland thermal energy radiation, and non-uniform heat sink/source are also scrutinized. The Buongiorno nanoliquid model is implemented, which includes the frenzied motion of the nanoparticles and the thermal diffusion of the nanoparticles (NPs). Thermal and solutal convection heating boundary conditions are also incorporated. Boundary layer approximations are used in the mathematical derivation. The non-linear control problem is deciphered with application of the RungeKutta shooting method (RKSM). The results for the relevant parameters are analyzed in dimensionless profiles. In addition, the friction factor on the plate, the heat transport rate, and the mass transport rate of the nanoparticles are calculated and analyzed. 2022, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. -
Dark matter, dark energy, and alternate models: A review
The nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) which is supposed to constitute about 95% of the energy density of the universe is still a mystery. There is no shortage of ideas regarding the nature of both. While some candidates for DM are clearly ruled out, there is still a plethora of viable particles that fit the bill. In the context of DE, while current observations favour a cosmological constant picture, there are other competing models that are equally likely. This paper reviews the different possible candidates for DM including exotic candidates and their possible detection. This review also covers the different models for DE and the possibility of unified models for DM and DE. Keeping in mind the negative results in some of the ongoing DM detection experiments, here we also review the possible alternatives to both DM and DE (such as MOND and modifications of general relativity) and possible means of observationally distinguishing between the alternatives. 2017 COSPAR -

Data Analysis and Machine Learning Observation on Production Losses in the Food Processing Industry
Food wastage and capturing lineage from production to consumption is a bigger concern. Yielding, storage and transportation areas have evolved to a great extent associated to manufacturing and automation which lead to technical advancements in food processing industry. In such situation, losses are generally observed in the crop production which are sometimes minimal and ignored. However, in some cases these losses are huge and are becoming a threat to the both producers and consumers. Here we considered data related to dairy products and analysed the production losses especially while processing them in the treating unit. Literature on parameters and associated data analysis in the form of graphical representation are provided in the appropriate sections of the paper. Linear regression and correlation were envisaged in view of incorporating machine learning techniques understanding production losses. Karl Pearson's correlation provides an observation related to association of parameters which are desired to be less coupled in terms of employing proposed newer methodology. 2023 IEEE. -

Predictive maintenance, which predicts equipment malfunctions and schedules maintenance in advance, is a crucial application of DA and ML within Industry 4.0. It reduces downtime, improves productivity, and lowers costs. Demand forecasting, which uses historical data and ML algorithms to predict future product demand, and anomaly detection, which identifies abnormal patterns or events within large datasets, are also critical applications of DA and ML in Industry 4.0. They enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. However, the adoption of DA and ML presents several challenges for organizations, including infrastructure, personnel, ethical, and privacy concerns. To realize the benefits of DA and ML, companies must invest in appropriate hardware and software and develop the necessary expertise. They must also handle data responsibly and transparently to ensure privacy and ethical standards. Despite these challenges, the integration of DA and ML in Industry 4.0 is critical for optimized performance, improved productivity, and cost savings. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Nidhi Sindhwani, Rohit Anand, A.

Data Augmentation for Handwritten Character Recognition of MODI Script Using Deep Learning Method
Deep learning-based methods such as convolutional neural networks are extensively used for various pattern recognition tasks. To successfully carry out these tasks, a large amount of training data is required. The scarcity of a large number of handwritten images is a major problem in handwritten character recognition; this problem can be tackled using data augmentation techniques. In this paper, we have proposed a convolutional neural network-based character recognition method for MODI script in which the data set is subjected to augmentation. The MODI script was an official script used to write Marathi, until 1950, the script is no more used as an official script. The preparation of a large number of handwritten characters is a tedious and time-consuming task. Data augmentation is very useful in such situations. Our study uses different types of augmentation techniques, such as on-the-fly (real-time) augmentation and off-line method (data set expansion method or traditional method). A performance comparison between these methods is also performed. 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Data Classification and Incremental Clustering Using Unsupervised Learning
Data modelling, which is based on mathematics, statistics, and numerical analysis, is used to look at clustering. Clusters in machine learning allude to hidden patterns; unsupervised learning is used to find clusters, and the resulting system is a data concept. As a result, clustering is the unsupervised discovery of a hidden data concept. The computing needs of clustering analysis are increased becausedata mining deals with massive databases. As a result of these challenges, data mining clustering algorithms that are both powerful and widely applicable have emerged. Clustering is also known as data segmentation in some applications because it splits large datasets into categories based on their similarities. Outliers (values that are far away from any cluster) can be more interesting than typical examples; hence outlier detection can be done using clustering. Outlier detection applications include the identification of credit card fraud and monitoring unlawful activities in Internet commerce.As a result, multiple runs with alternative initial cluster center placements must be scheduled to identify near-optimal solutions using the K-means method. A global K-means algorithm is used to solve this problem, which is a deterministic global optimization approach that uses the K-means algorithm as a local search strategy and does not require any initial parameter values. Insteadof selecting initial values for all cluster centers at random, as most global clustering algorithms do, the proposed technique operates in stages, preferably adding one new cluster center at a time. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -

Data Encryption Algorithm for Local Area Network (LAN)
The volume of traffic moving over the Internet is expanding exponentially every day due to increase in communication through Emails, branch offices remotely connect to their corporate network and commercial transactions. Hence protection of networks and their services from unauthorized modification and destruction is very much needed. TCPIP is the most commonly used communication protocol in the Internet domain. IP packets are exchanged between the end hosts as plain text (without any encryption). As Internet uses PSDN (Packet Switching Data Network) anybody who has access to PSDN can access/modify the data. Hence securing data over the network is difficult. The goal of network security is to provide, authenticity, confidentiality and integrity. Confidentiality is making sure that no body other than the receiver will be able to read the data. Integrity is making sure that the data didnt get modified by intruder or by some other means while it is getting transmitted. Authenticity is making sure that the data is coming from the right sender. In this paper we propose a new data encryption algorithm based on private key (symmetric key) cryptography method. Keys are shared between two end hosts using simple algorithm. Cyber block chaining method is used while encrypting/decrypting the data. Large prime numbers are generated well in advance and kept for further key refreshments. The keys were refreshed periodically, so it gives very minimal time for the hackers to attack the system. As simple operations are used, we will be able to achieve fast and secure data encryption/decryption using this method. The behavior of the proposed approach is verified through various tests.
