Digital Soil Texture Classification Using Machine Learning Approaches
The texture of the soil is an important factor to consider during cultivation. The water transmission property is being regulated by the texture of the soil. To determine sand, silt and clays percentage present in a soil sample, a conventional laboratory method is used, which consumes more time. Digitization in agriculture has given a new direction of innovative research in agriculture domain. In this paper, based on image processing an efficient model has been developed for soil texture classification. Eight different image preprocessing techniques were used for the image enhancement. Out of that, the linear contrast adjustment found to be best in image enhancement. A feature vector was calculated by extracting six different features from the enhanced image. The feature vector of an image is input to the machine learning classifier. The various classifiers used in this research work are SVM, KNN, ANN and PNN. The accuracy of the classifiers was SVM (0.98), KNN (0.89), ANN (0.89) and PNN (0.86). From the result, it is found SVM model has higher rate in classification of soil.

Digital Revolution: Transforming the Tourism Business Landscape Post-Pandemic
Over the past decade, Indias travel and tourism sector has experienced consistent growth in terms of the volume of inbound, outbound, and domestic travelers. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 precipitated an economic downturn in the worldwide tourism industry. The tourism and hospitality industry encountered an unparalleled and unfavorable situation as a result of the governments implementation of travel restrictions and stringent quarantine regulations. Both leisure and business travelers were forced to cancel or delay their travel plans, which led to significant penalties for making last-minute changes to their reservations. Destinations around the globe have implemented unique strategies and elements to enhance their resilience in the aftermath of the pandemic. While a significant number of travel agents and tour operators incurred substantial financial losses, a select few recognized this situation as an opportunity and introduced a range of inventive products, along with implementing innovative marketing and promotion strategies. Quarantine stays, Untact Tourism, and Virtual Tourism are neologisms that have gained popularity in the aftermath of the pandemic. Travel businesses have integrated technology and proved to be digitally adaptive business entities. The objective of this study is to comprehend and assess the technology-embedded recovery strategies implemented by the tourism industry in the state of Kerala, located in South India, following the pandemic. The study conducted comprehensive interviews with distinguished travel and hospitality experts from the state. The collected data were utilized to analyze the repercussions of the pandemic on the travel industry in the state, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of the measures implemented by businesses after the pandemic in terms of generating revenue and rebuilding the reputation of the destination. An in-depth examination of the tourism and hospitality websites has proven valuable in comprehending the marketing tactics employed by the companies amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The studys findings can aid stakeholders in the tourism industry in devising effective measures to endure a pandemic by implementing innovative and creative product development and crisis management strategies. 2026 World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd.

The article also explores the recent advancements in digital marketing due to the increase in users and the vast amount of data collected from these users. The two main advancements analyzed and discussed in this paper are machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Digital Payments and Fraud Risk: Technological Innovations and Global Regulatory Responses
In the digital age, financial crime has increased in magnitude and complexity because of high-velocity digital payments, cross-platform financial systems, and due to new forms of threat, like deepfakes and synthetic identities. Due to the increasing failure of the conventional, more rules-based methods of fraud control to detect these more sophisticated behaviours, there has arisen the need to adopt more sophisticated, technology-driven prevention methods. This paper discusses how financial-crime detection and AML/CFT processes are changing with the use of innovative tools, namely AI and machine learning analytics, privacy-preserving federated models, blockchain-based identity mechanism, and real-time digital-payment intelligence. The chapter methodologically follows the comparative case-based approach to analysis synthesising the evidence presented in regulatory publications, industry reports, and documented cases of technological deployments to define general trends, advantages, and shortcomings. The results indicate that technology-enabled systems are much more effective in detecting fraud, presenting few false positives, enhancing identity assurance, and sharing across institution intelligence at a faster rate as compared to traditional systems. This paper concludes that responsible AI architecture, real-time data network integration, and regulatory cooperation are essential to establishing resilient, future-ready models that will be able to defend financial ecosystems against the changing threats of the digital era.

Digital nomads: redefining tourism success or complicating destination challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic hastened the distant work revolution and gave rise to a distinct consumer group called digital nomads. Digital nomads, which include independent contractors, self-employed people, and people who have escaped the confines of the office, have the ability to work from home while travelling both domestically and abroad. However, there are worries that the rise of the digital nomad could worsen already problematic travel issues like overtourism. The purpose of this study is to conceptually analyse the effects of digital nomads on tourist locations by reviewing existing literature and recent reports. Understanding the effects of digital nomadism is essential in a world where popular places battle overtourism. With its main arguments nestled within the critical literature review, the study can be categorized as a viewpoint paper. The study also draws important inspiration from the grey literature because the subject is current. The Editors and Contributors Severally 2024. -
Digital micromirror device characterization in optical band for astronomical multi-object spectrograph
The Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) consisting of individually controllable micromirrors, has emerged as a versatile tool for astronomical instrumentation, particularly in multi-object spectroscopy (MOS). Unlike traditional slit masks or fiber-based systems, DMDs offer dynamic reconfigurability, enabling efficient light modulation and enhanced spectral acquisition. Their adaptability has led to widespread adoption in ground-based spectrographs (e.g., RITMOS, BATMAN, SAMOS, IRMOS) and feasibility studies for space missions (e.g., EUCLID, CASTOR, SUMO, SIRMOS). DMDs have demonstrated robustness in space qualification tests, including radiation exposure, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress, making them viable for space-based applications. Recent advancements, such as UV-transparent windows and enhanced coatings, further expand their potential for ultraviolet astronomy. In India, the success of AstroSats Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) has motivated the development of the next-generation INdian Spectroscopic and Imaging Space Telescope (INSIST), which includes a DMD-based MOS for UV/optical observations. To advance its Technology Readiness Level (TRL), we evaluated the Texas Instruments DLP9500 DMD (1920 1080 micromirrors, 10 m pitch) in the optical band, assessing key parameters such as diffraction efficiency, reflectivity, contrast, micromirror repeatability, and Point Spread Function (PSF) alignment. This study establishes a foundation for future UV-optimized DMD applications in INSIST and other astronomical missions. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2025. -
