Performance evaluation and sustainability analysis of geopolymer concrete developed with ground granulated blast furnace slag and sugarcane bagasse ash
This experimental work aims to determine the workability, strength and sustainability aspects of geopolymer concrete developed with GGBS and SCBA in five different proportions of 100-0%, 95 ? 5%, 90 ? 10%, 85 ? 15%and 80 ? 20%. 8M NaOH concentration and Na2SiO3 solutions are used as an alkaline activator in mixes developed. Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratio of 2.5 and 0.5 alkaline liquid to binder ratio is employed in this study to develop ambient cured geopolymer concrete. The results show that the standard consistency and FST of geopolymer paste increases with an increase in the SCBA content of mixes developed. Cs, Sts and Fs decreased with an increase in the content of SCBA in geopolymer concrete mixes. The 28 days Cs of geopolymer concrete developed under ambient cured condition varied from 63.56 to 39.59MPa. Regression analysis was performed to find the correlation between Sts and Fs to Cs. This study aims to outline a unique technique of utilizing an agro industrial waste by product i.e., sugarcane bagasse ash which in turn reduces disposal problem to some extent. According to the test findings, Sugarcane bagasse ash up to 20% can be used as precursor to develop sustainable geopolymer concrete. Due to the high cost of chemicals and river sand the cost of geopolymer concrete developed is slightly higher than normal concrete. Also, as the percentage of SCBA increase in the geopolymer concrete the demand for energy is reduced. Additionally, incorporation of sugarcane bagasse ash will also reduce disposal problems and reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

Performance and Steady State Heat Transfer Analysis of Functionally Graded Thermal Barrier Coatings Systems
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCfs), typically 8 wt.% Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (8YSZ), in single layered configuration have been traditionally used in aerospace components to protect them from degradation at high temperatures and to improve the thermal efficiency of the system. This paper compares the performance of two types of TBC configurations: Single layered and multilayered functionally graded materials (FGM). Aerospace alloy, Inconel 718 substrates, NiCrAlY bond coat (BC) and 8YPSZ top coat (TC) were the materials used. FGM configuration was used to improve the durability and life of the conventional TBC system by reducing the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch. The TBCs were subjected to thermal fatigue (thermal shock and thermal barrier test) in laboratory scale burner rig test and oxidation stability test in high temperature furnace upto 1000. The as-sprayed and thermal fatigue tested specimen were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope (micro-structure). Results are discussed in the light of suitability of coating configuration, thermal fatigue and spalling characteristics with reference to aerospace applications at temperatures in the 9000C to 15000C range. Computational work was carried out comprising a simulation model involving the developed TBCs. 2018 Elsevier Ltd. -

Performance analysis of semantic veracity enhance (SVE) classifier for fake news detection and demystifying the online user behaviour in social media using sentiment analysis
The increased propagation of fake news is the significant concern in the digital era. Identification of fake news from social media platforms is critical to strengthen public trust and ensure social stability. This research presents an effective and accurate framework for identifying fake news that combines different steps of natural language processing (NLP) technique along with a neural network architecture. A novel semantic veracity enhancement (SVE) classifier is designed and implemented in this work for detecting fake news. The proposed approach leverages the effectiveness of sentiment analysis for identifying misleading or deceptive content and its subsequent implications on the sentiment and behaviour of social media users. A BERT model is used in this research for analysing the sentiments and classifying the texts from the social media platform. By examining the sentiments, the SVE classifier differentiates between real news and fabricated content. To achieve this, three different datasets comprising both actual content and fabricated (tweaked) tweets are employed for training the SVE classifier. The potentiality of the SVE classifier is evaluated and compared with different optimization techniques. The outcome of the experimental analysis shows that the proposed approach exhibits an excellent performance in terms of classifying misinformation from the original information with an outstanding accuracy of 99% compared to other state of art methods. 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature. -

Performance Analysis of Novel Compact Octagonal Shaped Fractal Antenna for Broadband Wireless Applications
Antenna plays an important role in any part of the communication system. It has to be designed very cautiously to provide improved system performance to meet the developments in wireless technologies with various design constraints such as small size, low cost, high data, low power consumption and wideband capabilities. Several efforts have been made by various investigators around the globe to amalgamate benefits of fractal structures with electromagnetic concepts and applications to reduce the size of the antenna without obstructing the performance of the antennas. This paper proposes a novel compact octagonal shaped broadband fractal antenna. The proposed antenna was designed on an inexpensive FR4-epoxy substrate and simulated using the High Frequency Structure Simulator. The antenna resonates in dual bands in 3.8 and 1GHz with lowest return loss of ?32.80dB and gain of 10.22dB while maintaining the VSWR in the 2:1 level. Attempts have been made to reduce the size and improve the bandwidth using fractal concept and truncation of ground plane. The fabricated antenna was verified experimentally and the results are agreeing with the simulations. The point of attraction of this antenna is the use of single patch for broadband coverage with easy fabrication. 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. -
Performance Analysis of Nonlinear Companding Techniques for PAPR Mitigation in 5G GFDM Systems
Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) is a 5G waveform contender that offers asynchronous and non-orthogonal data transmission, featuring several advantages, some of them being low latency, reduced out-of-band (OOB) radiation and low adjacent channel leakage ratio. GFDM is a non-orthogonal multicarrier waveform which enables data transmission on a time frequency grid. However, like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and many other multicarrier systems, high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main problems in GFDM, which degrades the high-power amplifier (HPA) efficiency and distorts the transmitted signal, thereby affecting the bit error rate (BER) performance of the system. Hence, PAPR reduction is essential for improved system performance and enhanced efficiency. Nonlinear companding techniques are known to be one of the effective low complexity PAPR reduction techniques for multicarrier systems. In this paper, a GFDM system is evaluated using mu law companding, root companding and exponential companding techniques for efficient PAPR reduction. The PAPR and BER graphs are used to evaluate the proposed methods in the presence of an HPA. Simulations show that, out of these three techniques, exponential companding was found to provide a trade-off between the PAPR reduction and BER performance. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Performance Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Classifying Hand Motion-Based EEG Brain Signals
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) records brain activity using electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets in the form of EEG signals; these signals can be recorded, processed and classified into different hand movements, which can be used to control other IoT devices. Classification of hand movements will be one step closer to applying these algorithms in real-life situations using EEG headsets. This paper uses different feature extraction techniques and sophisticated machine learning algorithms to classify hand movements from EEG brain signals to control prosthetic hands for amputated persons. To achieve good classification accuracy, denoising and feature extraction of EEG signals is a significant step. We saw a considerable increase in all the machine learning models when the moving average filter was applied to the raw EEG data. Feature extraction techniques like a fast fourier transform (FFT) and continuous wave transform (CWT) were used in this study; three types of features were extracted, i.e., FFT Features, CWT Coefficients and CWT scalogram images. We trained and compared different machine learning (ML) models like logistic regression, random forest, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), light gradient boosting machine (GBM) and XG boost on FFT and CWT features and deep learning (DL) models like VGG-16, Dense-Net201 and ResNet50 trained on CWT scalogram images. XG Boost with FFT features gave the maximum accuracy of 88%. 2022 CRL Publishing. All rights reserved. -
