Abstract-This study explores the potential of Kraft lignin and wood-based additives to mitigate rutting in porous asphalt concrete (PAC), a material widely used for its water permeability and noise-reducing properties. PAC, however, suffers from rutting, a type of pavement distress that leads to deformations and reduced performance under traffic loads. The research evaluates the impact of incorporating Kraft lignin and wood-based modifiers into PAC to enhance its rutting resistance. Experimental investigations, including wheel-tracking and Marshall stability tests, were conducted on asphalt samples with varying concentrations of these modifiers. Results indicated that both Kraft lignin and wood-based additives significantly improved rutting resistance, with lignin contributing to greater binder stiffness and wood additives enhancing aggregate bonding. These findings suggest that bio-based modifiers could offer a sustainable solution to improving the durability of porous asphalt pavements, reducing maintenance costs and environmental impact.

Abstract-Medical image analysis is a critical component in modern healthcare, enabling more accurate and timely diagnoses. Deep learning techniques, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have shown impressive capabilities in automating medical image interpretation. This paper reviews the latest advancements in deep learning methods for medical image analysis, covering key applications such as image classification, segmentation, and object detection. We discuss the challenges in applying deep learning models to medical imaging, such as the need for large annotated datasets, generalization to diverse datasets, and model interpretability. Additionally, we provide an overview of state-of-the-art architectures and their performance in different medical imaging tasks. Finally, we address the future directions and potential clinical applications of these techniques.

Abstract-The goal of the web-based search engine “Intelli Search” is to give users accurate and pertinent content by combining personalized video recommendations with sophisticated AI-driven response production. The platform imitates Gemini’s capabilities by leveraging the YouTube API to suggest pertinent films arranged by comment engagement and the Gemini API to produce theoretical answers based on user inquiries. By using MongoDB to store and show user search history in a sidebar, the project allows users to view past queries after entering their login information. Auth0 securely manages authentication, guaranteeing a quick and secure user login. Through the integration of these technologies, Intelli Search provides a dynamic and customized user experience, enhancing search relevance by fusing multimedia resources with theoretical knowledge. The architecture is examined in this work.

Abstract-Machine learning techniques are doing wonders in every sphere of life but using predictive analysis in healthcare is a challenging task. However, if implemented properly these techniques help in making timely judgements about the health and treatment of patients. Globally, diseases including diabetes, heart disease, and breast cancer are major causes of death; yet, the majority of these deaths are due to failure to have regular checkups for these conditions. Low doctor-to-population ratios and a lack of medical infrastructure are the root causes of the above-mentioned issue. Thus, early detection and treatment of these diseases can save many lives. Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Streamlit is an effort concentrated on the development of healthcare using in-depth engines to forecast several sicknesses. Streamli Cloud and Streamlit Library facilitate deployment of prediction models like a breeze for developers. This has made accessing and using prediction capabilities of the system easily done by any layman. The paper focuses on forecasting three major diseases namely diabetes, heart failure and Parkinson’s disease by using an advanced ensemble of deep learning models as well as traditional machine learning techniques. Then again, merging Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm together with Logistic Regression models will form one such integration scheme.
