Tadpole domination number of graphs
The graph obtained by joining cycle Cm to a path Pn with a bridge is called Tadpole graph denoted by Tm,n. A subset D of V (G) is said to be a tadpole dominating set of G if D is a dominating set and the set of vertices of D spans a tadpole graph Tm,n where m ? 3, n ? 1. In this paper, we find the tadpole domination number of cartesian product of certain graphs, namely, paths, cycles and complete graphs. Also the tadpole domination number for the Mycielskian of cycles and paths is obtained. 2023 World Scientific Publishing Company. -

Time Series Forecasting of Stock Market Volatility Using LSTM Networks
Forecasting stock market volatility is a pivotal concern for investors and financial institutions alike. This research paper employs Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a potent class of recurrent neural networks, to predict stock market volatility. LSTM networks have proven adept at capturing intricate temporal dependencies, rendering them a fitting choice for time series data analysis. We commence by elucidating the notion of stock market volatility and its profound significance in financial decision-making. Traditional methodologies, such as GARCH models, exhibit shortcomings in deciphering the convoluted dynamics inherent in financial time series data. LSTM networks, with their capacity to model extended temporal relationships, present an encouraging alternative. In this study, we assemble historical stock price and trading volume data for a diverse array of assets, diligently preprocessing it to ensure its aptness for LSTM modeling. We systematically explore various network architectures, hyperparameter configurations, and input features to optimize the efficacy of our models. Our empirical investigations decisively underscore the supremacy of LSTM networks in capturing the subtleties of stock market volatility compared to conventional techniques. As the study progresses, we delve deeper into the complexities of LSTM network training, leveraging advanced techniques such as batch normalization and dropout to fortify model resilience. Moreover, we delve into the interpretability of LSTM models within the context of stock market forecasting. 2023 IEEE. -

Balancing module in evolutionary optimization and Deep Reinforcement Learning for multi-path selection in Software Defined Networks
Software Defined Network (SDN) has been used in many organizations due to its efficiency in transmission. Machine learning techniques have been applied in SDN to improve its efficiency in resource scheduling. The existing models in SDN have limitations of overfitting, local optima trap and lower efficiency in path selection. This study applied Balancing Module (BM)-Spider Monkey Optimization (SMO)-Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) for multi path selection in SDN to improve its efficiency. The balancing module applies Gaussian distribution to balance between exploration and exploitation in the multi-path selection process. The Balancing module helps to escape local optima trap and increases the convergence rate. Deep Reinforcement learning is applied for resource scheduling in SDN. The Deep reinforcement learning technique uses the reward function to improve the learning performance, and the BM-SMO-CSA technique has 30 J energy consumption, where the existing models: DRL has 40 J energy consumption, and Graph-ACO has 62 J energy consumption. 2022 -
Experimental Investigation on Density and Volume Fraction of Void, and Mechanical Characteristics of Areca Nut Leaf Sheath Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite is a rapidly growing topic of research due to the simplicity of obtaining composites that is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The resulting composites have mechanical properties comparable to synthetic fiber-reinforced composites. In this regard, the present work is formulated with the objectives related to the development, characterization, and optimization of the wt% of reinforcements and the process parameters. The novelty of this work is related to the identification and standardization of the appropriate wt% of reinforcements and parameters for the processing of the areca nut leaf sheath fiber-based polymer composites for enhanced performance attributes. With this basic purview and scope, the composites are synthesized using the hand layup process, and the composite samples of various fiber compositions (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) are fabricated. The mechanical characteristics of biodegradable polymer composites reinforced with areca nut leaf sheath fibers are investigated in the present work, with a focus on the effect of fiber composition (tensile properties, flexural strength, and impact strength). The properties of composites are enhanced by combining the areca nut leaf sheath fiber and epoxy resin, with a fiber content of 50% being the optimal wt%. The Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations also ascertain this by depicting the good interfacial adhesion between the areca nut leaf sheath fiber and the epoxy resin. The tensile strength of the composite specimen reinforced with 50% areca nut fiber increases to 44.6 MPa, while the young's modulus increases to 1900 MPa, flexural strength increases to 64.8 MPa, the flexural modulus increases to 37.9 GPa, and impact strength increases to 34.1 k J/m2. As a result, the combination of areca nut leaf sheath fiber reinforced epoxy resin shows considerable potential as a renewable and biodegradable polymer composite. Furthermore, areca nut leaf sheath fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites are likely to replace petroleum-based polymers in the future. The ecosustainability and biodegradability of the composite specimen alongside the improved mechanical characteristics serve as the major highlight of the present work, and can help the polymer composite industry to further augment the synthetic matrix and fiber-based composites with the natural fiber-reinforced composites. 2022 B.

Plant- based Metabolites as Source of Antimicrobial Therapeutics: Prospects and Challenges
Plants are used as traditional medicines from ancient times to today as they are the largest living storehouses of bio- chemicals and pharmaceuticals known on Earth (Abdallah, 2011). The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) database reported in April 2021 that there are 1,383,297 plant names with 996,093 plants identified at species level, constituting 342,953 accepted vascular plant species (Govaerts et al., 2021). Around 10% of the reported vascular plants are used as medicines (Salmer- Manzano et al., 2020). According to the MPNS, 33,443 species are recorded as being used for medicinal purpose (MNPS, 2021). Medicinal plants are those that have therapeutic properties which can pose pharmacological effect on the human or animal body (Namdeo, 2018). About 80% of the world's population depends on plant- based medicine for treatment of diseases (Okoye et al., 2014). The medicinal property of a plant is attributed to rich and diverse secondary metabolites (Allemailem, 2021). Secondary metabolites are intermediates or products of primary metabolism that are not involves directly in the growth and development of the plant (Jain et al., 2019). Plants generate secondary metabolites in response to stresses posed by biotic factors (bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, pests, weeds, and herbivore animals) and abiotic environmental factors (temperature, salinity, drought, UV radiation etc.) so as to adapt and survive in response to environmental stimuli during their life time (Yang et al., 2018). 2023 selection and editorial matter, Arti Gupta and Ram Prasad; individual chapters, the contributors. -

Research asset creation (RAC) model for PhD awarding universities in India
Importance of higher education and research is becoming more prominent and admission for PhD is increasing year by year in India. Most of the time Research done as part of PhD ends with the submission and acceptance of thesis in Universities. This research future work or extension work might be picked by other PhD candidate in the same or from the different Universities but not sure when it will happen. Also not sure the research completed has achieved its end objective and University is fine to stop that research after spending so much of time and resources of University. This paper insists on continuous research with PhD candidates every year in Universities until the completion of research and scope for reducing the waste of resources and time. This paper considers the importance and effectiveness of Indexing parameters, Indexing agencies, review methods, Journals and relevant concepts. Considering the usefulness and facts of the same to research community building a standard process with procedures to control quality, performance and original research in place, I have built a Research Asset Creation (RAC) model for universities offering PhDs in India by making use of University level Indexing, Indexing parameters, Inter and Intra University peer review methods and University Journal as magazine and as well as Indexing agency. Research cannot be considered just for the award of degree. There is a need for making use of research, resources of University and time spent on research till the objective of the research is accomplished. This can be accomplished by adopting Research Asset Creation model. Complete details of the model, components of the model, implementation, its benefits and usage is discussed in this paper. This is a generalized Model and fit for all Countries which are looking for effective use of research and resources in a progressive manner. BEIESP. -
Protecting Medical Research Data Using Next Gen Steganography Approach
In this paper our main aim is to protect medical research information, when data either images or information shared via internet or stored on hard drive 3rd person cant access without authentication. As needs be, there has been an expanded enthusiasm for ongoing years to upgrade the secrecy of patients data. For this we combined different techniques to provide more security. Our approach is a combination of cryptography, Steganography & digital watermarking we named this technique as Next Gen. We used cryptography for encrypting the patients information even if they find image is stegonized and digital watermarking for authenticity and for Steganography we used most popular least significant bit algorithm (LSB). The experimental outcomes with various inputs show that the proposed technique gives a decent tradeoff between security, implanting limit and visual nature of the stego pictures. 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -

Imposter detection with canvas and WebGL using Machine learning.
Authentication offers a way to confirm the legitimacy of a user attempting to access any protected information that is hosted on the web as organizations are moving their applications online. It has long been believed that IP addresses and Cookies are the most reliable digital fingerprints used to authenticate and track people online. But after a while, things got out of hand when modern web technologies allowed interested organizations to use new ways to identify and track users. There are many new reliable digital fingerprints that can be used such as canvas and WebGL. The canvas and WebGL render the image which is dependent on the software and hardware of the system. In our work with the generated hash value value from canvas and WebGL we create a model using KNN to identify the imposters. The model has proved to be accurate in authentication of user with an accuracy of 89%. 2023 IEEE. -
Leveraging Ensemble Methods for Accurate Prediction of Customer Spending Scores in Retail
This study primarily aims to estimate consumer spending trends in a retail context. The goal is to identify the best model for predicting Purchasing Scores, which indicate customer loyalty and potential income, using demographic and financial data. The dataset included information about customers' age, gender, and annual income, and the objective was to analyze their Spending Scores. Several regression models were tested, including Linear Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Lasso Regression. To improve the models, we engineered features like Age Squared, Income per Age, and Spending Score per Income. Each model was trained and tested using 3fold cross-validation. We evaluated their performance with Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-squared (R2) metrics. The results showed significant differences in model performance. The Random Forest model stood out, with the lowest Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.33, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.52, and the highest R-squared (R22) score of 0.9997. Gradient Boosting also performed well, achieving a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 1.77, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 2.41, and an Rsquared (R2) score of 0.9930. While Linear Regression showed moderate accuracy, KNN and Lasso Regression had higher errors and lower R2 values, indicating less reliable predictions. The findings suggest that ensemble methods, particularly Random Forest, excel at predicting customer Spending Scores. The high accuracy and reliability of this model point to its potential for customer segmentation and targeted marketing strategies, ultimately enhancing customer relationship management and boosting business value. Further refinement and exploration of additional features could further improve these prediction capabilities. 2024 IEEE. -
