A Study on Experimental Analysis of Best Fit Machine Learning Approach for Smart Agriculture
By 2050, the population is projected to exceed nine billion, necessitating a 70% increase in agricultural output to meet the need. Land, water, and other resources are running out due to the growing world population, making it impossible to maintain the demandsupply cycle. The yield of cultivation is also declining as a result of people's ignorance of the growing crop illnesses. Given that food is the most basic human requirement, future research should focus on revitalizing the agricultural sector. Farming may be made more productive for farmers by applying the right artificial intelligence technologies and datasets. Agronomics can benefit greatly from artificial intelligence. So that we can farm more effectively and be as productive as possible, we need to adopt a better strategy. The objective of this paper is to experimentally analyze the machine learning algorithms and methods already in use and forecast the most effective approach to use in each agricultural sector. In this article, we will present the challenges farmers face when using traditional farming methods and how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing agriculture by replacing the traditional methods. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
A Study on Factors Enhancing Immersive Virtual Reality Experiences
The objective of this study is to identify the various influential factors of immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences and examine the relationship between the immersion factors (technology, visuals, sound, interaction, and sound) and virtual reality experiential outcomes (satisfaction and loyalty). The survey comprises 412 participants who experienced VR games at the Orion Mall in Bangalore. The study has identified the prominent factors for enhancing the immersive experience. The factors are technology, visuals, sound, interaction, and sound. It also identified that there exists a positive association between VR experiential satisfaction and technology, visuals, sound, interaction, and sound. The results imply that service providers should focus on elevating immersive experience as it is closely associated with VR experiential satisfaction and VR experiential loyalty. This will increase the revisit intention and spread positive word of mouth about the virtual experiences. This paper provided valuable insights that pay way to analyze the association between immersion factors and VR experiential outcomes. 2024 IEEE. -

A Study on Foreign Direct Investment in Multi-Brand Retail to Develop a Business Model for Domestic Supermarkets in the Convenience Stores Format.
The main focus of this research is in the area of organised retail specifically in the convenience stores format in India. The Indian organised retail is growing rapidly but is still in the nascent stage. There are many challenges in terms of infrastructure, supply chain efficiencies, cost structure and customer adaptability to the emerging retail formats. India is perceived to be a lucrative destination for retail and with opening up of foreign direct investment imminent many multinational giants are eyeing India. Indian companies are grappling with many challenges and experimenting with many formats in retail. This study attempts to understand the present scenario and the preparedness of domestic companies in consolidating their existing position to evolve a business frame work model for domestic companies to not only consolidate their existing position but also counter threats from multinationals entering into India. The research revealed that there are not many integrated business models, though there are models on different components of supply chain and retail, Indian companies will certainly benefit from creation of integrated business model which can assist them in taking strategic decisions in terms of managing cost and revenue structure and expansion plans. Scope of this study is Grocery and staples and fruits and vegetables business as food contributes to almost 63% in the organised retail business and was bifurcated into back end and front end operations. This study is intended to understand the drivers and factors influencing the back end operations in the area of supply chain efficiencies and the front end operations particularly in respect of costs, revenues and key drivers to create an integrated business model frame work to drive optimisations at all levels. Sample of this study was two major organised retail companies in Bangalore catering to about seventy outlets in Bangalore and having distribution centres. Tools used in this study was data observation sheets for all the key parameters for both back end and front end operations, in addition to unstructured in depth interview with expert group. However the protocol for the interview was predetermined to capture all key data and elements and involved some qualitative aspect and Linear programming for simulation and trying out various permutation combinations. Some of the major findings were: Stock keeping units, cost of procurement and secondary freight emerged as significant drivers to be controlled for efficiency and optimisation link in the back end grocery and staples. Cost of procurement, net sales value and operations cost emerged as the key drivers of efficiency and optimisation link in the back end Fruits and Vegetables. Rentals, Sales, Cost of goods sold, Total personnel cost and Total facilities cost had significant influence on EBIDTA in the front end super market. Break even point for same size stores differed depending upon the location and other cost drivers. Sensitivity analysis revealed that manpower, rent and total facilities cost had significant impact on EBIDTA in the front end. Limitations and future areas of research have also been discussed. -

A Study on Graph Colouring with Distance Constraints
In this dissertation, we have studied the variations of graph colouring based on distance constraints. For a given set T of non-negative integers including zero and a positive integer k, the L(T,1)-colouring of a graph G = (V,E) is a function c : V(G) and#8594; newline{0,1,2,...,k} such that |c(u)and#8722;c(v)| and#8712;/ T if the distance between u and v is 1 and |c(u)and#8722; newlinec(v)| and#8805; 1 whenever u and v are at distance 2. The L(T,1)-span, and#955;T,1(G) is the smallest positive integer k such that G admits an L(T,1)-Colouring. We have determined the newlineL(T,1)-span for some classes of graphs for set T whose elements are arranged in arithmetic progression. Further, for any general set T , we have found the bound for L(T,1)- span of a few classes of graphs. We use Python programming to colour certain classes of graphs concerning L(T,1)-colouring and fnd the value of L(T,1)-span. Next, we have explored equitable fractional open neighbourhood colouring, which is an extension of a specifc variation of L(h,k)-Colouring for h = 0 and k = 1. For a newlinepositive integer p, equitable fractional open neighbourhood colouring of a graph G is an newlineassignment of positive integers to the vertices of G such that for each vertex v and#8712;V(G), vertices of N(v) receives at least l1p|N(v)|m distinct colours and N(v) can be partitioned into k-classes V1,V2,...Vk such that ||Vi|and#8722; |Vj|| and#8804; 1 for every i and#824;= j and 1 and#8804; k and#8804; n. The minimum number of colours required to colour G such that it admits equitable fractional open neighbourhood colouring for a fxed p is called the equitable fractional open neighbourhood chromatic number, and#967;eq onc newlinep (G). We have studied some properties of equitable fractional open neighbourhood colouring and explored some classes of graphs which admit equitable fractional open neighbourhood colouring with land#8710;(pG)m colours. Further, we have introduced and examined a variation of perfect graphs, and#967;onc-perfect graphs, with respect to equitable fractional open neighbourhood colouring for the special case of p = 1. -

A study on graph topology
The concept of topology defined on a set can be extended to the field of graph theory by defining the notion of graph topologies on graphs where we consider a collection of subgraphs of a graph G in such a way that this collection satisfies the three conditions stated similarly to that of the three axioms of point-set topology. This paper discusses an introduction and basic concepts to the graph topology. A subgraph of G is said to be open if it is in the graph topology TG. The paper also introduces the concept of the closed graph and the closure of graph topology in graph topological space using the ideas of decomposition-complement and neighborhood-complement. 2023 Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University. -

A study on heat transfer in three-dimensional nonlinear convective boundary layer flow of nanomaterial considering the aggregation of nanoparticles
Thermal systems of solar collectors, electronic cooling, nuclear reactors, and combustion operate at high thermal conditions, and in such circumstances, the density relation of the working fluids with the thermal field may not be linear. The working fluid features are significantly affected by nonlinear density temperature fluctuations. Therefore, a theoretical study of the quadratic Boussinesq approximation (with quadratic density temperature [QDT] variation) and quadratic Rosseland radiation on the three-dimensional boundary layer dynamics and heat transport of ethylene glycol-based titania nanomaterial is carried out. The phenomenon of the kinematics of nanoparticle aggregation is also analyzed by considering modified models proposed by MaxwellBruggeman and KriegerDougherty for thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity. The flow is induced by the elongation of a flexible flat plate in two directions. A comparison of heat transfer features of linear elongation of the plate and nonlinear elongation of the plate is conducted. The Rosseland radiative heat flux is studied in three different forms. The governing nonlinear equations are treated using apt nondimensionalization, stretching transformation, and then by using the Richardson extrapolation method. The results are presented via plots to analyze the impact of key parameters involved in the model. The magnitude of the nanomaterial temperature is enhanced due to the kinematics of nanoparticle aggregation. Among linear, quadratic, and nonlinear forms of Rosseland radiative heat flux, the quadratic radiative heat is more suitable when QDT is considered. A positive relationship is found between heat transfer and volume fraction and a positive relationship is observed between heat transfer and the QDT factor. The magnitude of the velocities and thermal field is higher for flow driven due to the linear elongation of the plate than the nonlinear case. 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC -

A Study on Impact of Dopants on Piezoelectric Parameters of Aluminium Nitride
Doping is a critical in piezoelectric base materials used as sensors or energy harvesters. It has a significant effect in determining the output parameters of an energy harvester. This paper studies the effect and impact on piezoelectric properties when materials are co doped and singly doped by considering some common dopants found in the literature. From the study, the elastic constant and c/a ratio are found to be decreasing and all other lattice parameters such as piezoelectric stress coefficient, electromechanical coupling constant, Born effective charge etc. are increasing, although some discrepancies are there. Scandium, magnesium, Lithium and its co-dopants are mainly considered for the study. Another factor that should be considered is doping concentration. Excessive doping with scandium (Sc) has been demonstrated to reduce the coercive field (Ec), enabling ferroelectric switching in AlScN thin films. The critical factor for achieving ferroelectric switching lies in sufficiently lowering the energy barrier between the two polarization states made of the wurtzite structure. This can be accomplished either by increasing the proportion of the non-Group-III metal or through strain engineering.
