Abstract: Bending and focusing magnets, both normal- or super-conducting, are crucial elements for the performance of any particle accelerator. Their design require-ments are always more tighten regarding components’ misalignment and mag-netic properties. This dissertation proposes new solutions for characterizing mag-netic materials and monitoring solenoids’ magnetic axis misalignments. A superconducting permeameter is designed to characterize the new-generation superconducting magnet yokes at their operational temperature and saturation level. As proof of principle, the magnetic characterization of ARMCO®Pure Iron was performed at the cryogenic temperature of 4.2 K and a saturation level of nearly 3 T. A case study based on the new HL-LHC superconducting magnets quantifies the impact of the magnetic properties of the yoke on the performances of the superconducting magnets. A flux-metric based method is proposed to identify the relative magnetic perme-ability of weakly magnetic materials. As proof of principle, the magnetic prop-erties of the ITER TF coils quench detection stainless steel are analyzed. This method is not suitable to test materials with a relative permeability lower than 1.1. Hence, a measurement system based on a new magneto-metric method is conceived and validated employing a standard reference sample. The methods proposed in this thesis are currently employed at CERN’s magnetic laboratory to face an increasing number of requests concerning not only the magnetic charac-terization of materials for magnets but also for shielding systems and compatibil-ity of various components with high magnetic fields. In this thesis, the results of the evaluation of ARMCO®Pure Iron as the yoke of the new LHC superconducting magnets and CRYOPHY as the magnetic shield for the cryomodule prototypes of HL-LHC Crab Cavities are reported. Finally, a new Hall-sensor method is conceived and implemented for monitor-ing the coils alignment in multi-coil magnets, directly during their operation in particle accelerators. The proposed method is suitable even for those cases when almost the whole magnet aperture is not accessible. Requiring only a few mea-surements of the magnetic field at fixed positions inside the magnet aperture, the method overcomes the main drawback of the other Hall sensor-based methods which is having to deal with sturdy mechanics of the moving stages. The method is validated numerically on a challenging case study related to the Solenoid B of the project ELI-NP.

Abstract: Religious tourism is one of the most important and significant sectors of the Indian tourism industry. It plays a major role in contributing to economic growth, employment generation, infrastructure development, cultural preservation, and regional development. Gujarat is the one of the states from India which has rich religious heritage and some of them are known worldwide such as Somnath, Dwarka, Ambaji, Dakor and Palitana. However, some other religious destinations are underdevelopment though they have tourism potential. One such destination is Kameshwar Mahadev Temple, situated on the bank of the Ambika River in Gadat village, Navsari District, Gujarat. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the potential for sustainable development of Kameshwar Mahadev Temple as a regional religious tourism destination. The study evaluates the temple’s historical significance, geographical setting, tourism resources, visitor characteristics, existing infrastructure, environmental attributes, and socio-economic context. Furthermore, it examines opportunities and constraints associated with tourism development through SWOT analysis and sustainable tourism assessment frameworks. The research uses the mixed-method approach which is based on secondary data, demographic analysis, tourism statistics, infrastructure assessment, policy review, and qualitative evaluation. Findings indicate that Kameshwar Mahadev Temple possesses significant strengths including religious importance, strategic accessibility, natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and an established visitor base. Nevertheless, deficiencies in tourism infrastructure, accommodation facilities, sanitation, destination marketing, and community participation continue to constrain its development potential. This study introduces a master plan for tourism that combines better roads and facilities, environmental protection, community involvement, smart marketing, and teamwork among local authorities. The findings show that focusing on sustainable tourism can turn the Kameshwar Mahadev Temple into a major regional pilgrimage site. This development will boost the local economy and create jobs for residents while fully protecting the surrounding natural resources.

Abstract: The interaction between soil and structure (SSI) is a key factor in determination of the dynamic response of foundation systems under cyclic and impact loading. However, most of the previous studies concentrated on the conventional concrete foundations and the effects of other sustainable materials are rarely studied under complex loading condition. Further, few research has focused on the interaction between cyclic and impact loading in a nonlinear-SSI model. The aim of this study is to overcome these shortcomings by developing an advanced nonlinear numerical model for comparing the SSI performance of geopolymer and conventional foundations under combined cyclic and impact loading. The model incorporated soil stiffness degradation, damping characteristics of the soil materials and introduces a novel Damage Accumulation Index (DAI) to quantify progressive deterioration. Using MATLAB simulation approach, transient and steady state dynamic responses were captured in time domain analysis. The results shows that geopolymer foundations outperform the conventional foundations in all the important parameters. In particular, the peak displacement was reduced by ~4.69% while the reduction in velocity and acceleration responses was ~7.62% and the stiffness degradation was ~6.54%, respectively. Moreover, geopolymer foundations have energy dissipation capacity of about 7.35% higher. The proposed DAI model also shows that the cumulative damage was reduced by ~27.33%. These results verify a better damping and better stiffness retention capacity and a better resistance to dynamic loading effects of geopolymer foundations. The study confirms that geopolymer foundation offers a promising sustainable alternative for infrastructure subjected to cyclic, impact, and seismic loading conditions.

Abstract: Choosing the right career path is a critical decision for students and often requires personalized guidance based on their interests, skills, and abilities. This paper proposes an Intelligent Questionnaire-Based Career Path Recommendation System that utilizes the Random Forest machine learning algorithm to recommend suitable career options. The system collects user responses through a structured questionnaire covering personality traits, technical skills, academic interests, aptitude, and career preferences. The collected data are processed and analyzed using a trained Random Forest model to predict the most appropriate career path. In addition to career recommendations, the system provides guidance on relevant skills and learning resources to enhance career readiness. A web-based interface enables users to complete the assessment and receive recommendations instantly. The proposed approach improves the accuracy and personalization of career guidance compared with traditional counseling methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the system provides reliable recommendations and supports students in making informed career decisions. The proposed framework is scalable and can be extended with real-time job market data and advanced AI techniques in future work.

Abstract: Brain tumors are among the most critical neurological disorders that require early and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment and improved patient survival. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used for brain tumor diagnosis because of its superior soft tissue visualization capability. However, manual tumor detection and classification are time-consuming and highly dependent on radiologists’ expertise. To overcome these limitations, this research proposes an intelligent MRI-based brain tumor detection and classification system using deep learning techniques. The proposed framework integrates preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, deep learning classification, and performance evaluation into a unified automated system. Initially, MRI images undergo preprocessing steps such as artifact removal, noise reduction, intensity normalization, and bias field correction to improve image quality. Segmentation techniques including thresholding, region growing, and watershed algorithms are then applied to isolate tumor regions from healthy brain tissues. Histogram-based, texture-based, and shape-based features are extracted to improve discriminative learning. The EfficientNetB3 deep learning model is employed for tumor and non-tumor classification due to its efficient feature learning and lightweight architecture. Hyperparameter tuning techniques such as optimized learning rate, batch size, dropout regularization, and data augmentation are used to improve classification performance and reduce overfitting. The proposed model achieves high performance with improved accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score compared to existing approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework provides accurate and reliable brain tumor detection with enhanced segmentation and classification capability. The system also supports intelligent clinical decision-making and has the potential for future real-time healthcare applications.

Abstract: Cloud computing has become the foundation of modern digital services by providing scalable, flexible, and cost-effective computing resources for organizations across various domains. Despite its widespread adoption, the increasing complexity of cloud infrastructures has introduced numerous security challenges, including unauthorized access, insecure configurations, application vulnerabilities, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and abnormal network activities. Conventional cloud security mechanisms primarily rely on rule-based detection techniques, which often struggle to identify sophisticated and previously unknown cyber threats in dynamic cloud environments. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes an intelligent machine learning-based framework for cloud vulnerability detection and threat prevention. The proposed framework analyzes security-related information collected from system logs, network traffic records, cloud service activities, and vulnerability reports to identify malicious behavior and potential security risks. Comprehensive data preprocessing and feature engineering techniques are employed to improve data quality before training multiple machine learning models, including Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Isolation Forest. The effectiveness of these algorithms is evaluated using performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, confusion matrix, and ROC-AUC analysis. Experimental results demonstrate that the Random Forest model achieves superior detection performance by accurately identifying cloud vulnerabilities while maintaining a low false alarm rate. The proposed framework enables real-time threat monitoring, intelligent anomaly detection, and adaptive security analysis, thereby improving the resilience, reliability, and overall protection of distributed cloud infrastructures against evolving cyber threats.

Abstract: Accurate credit risk assessment is essential for financial institutions to minimize loan defaults and support effective lending decisions. Conventional loan evaluation processes largely depend on manual analysis of customer financial information, making them time-consuming, inconsistent, and susceptible to human bias. With the rapid advancement of machine learning, intelligent prediction models have emerged as efficient solutions for automating credit risk evaluation and improving decision-making accuracy. This paper presents an intelligent credit risk prediction framework that utilizes machine learning algorithms to classify loan applicants based on their probability of loan repayment or default. The proposed framework analyzes customer financial and demographic attributes, including credit history, checking account status, employment status, loan amount, loan duration, and applicant age. Data preprocessing techniques such as missing value handling, outlier removal, categorical feature encoding, and feature scaling are employed to enhance data quality before model training. Multiple machine learning algorithms, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and a Stacking Ensemble model, are implemented and comparatively evaluated using performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, confusion matrix, and ROC-AUC analysis. Experimental results indicate that the ensemble learning approach consistently outperforms individual classifiers by achieving higher prediction accuracy and improved generalization capability. The proposed framework provides a reliable, scalable, and data-driven solution for intelligent credit risk assessment, enabling financial institutions to improve loan approval decisions, reduce financial losses, and strengthen overall credit risk management.
