Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Physics Models For Siting Solar Parks In Semi-Arid Regions

Uncategorized

Authors: Lingaraju, Sathish kumar B N

Abstract: Utility-scale solar park siting in semi-arid regions requires balancing physics-driven energy yield with engineering, environmental, and operations constraints under substantial uncertainty. This paper presents a transparent fuzzy multi-criteria framework that (i) maps raw criteria to physically motivated desirability memberships-monotone linear functions for benefit/cost attributes (global horizontal irradiance, slope, grid distance, water distance, dust days, protected-area buffer, land-use suitability) and a bell-shaped (Gaussian-like) function for module-temperature effects-(ii) derives criterion weights using fuzzy AHP from linguistic pairwise judgements, and (iii) aggregates via a TOPSIS-like closeness measure in the desirability space. A realistic 12- site semi-arid screening dataset is used to demonstrate the workflow. The resulting normalized weights emphasize energy yield (GHI, 0.377) and host-land compatibility (land-use, 0.132; temperature, 0.115), while accounting for terrain (slope, 0.092), network access (grid distance, 0.081), O&M logistics (water distance, 0.052; dust days, 0.058 ), and biodiversity safeguards (protected buffer, 0.092). The final closeness coefficients rank sites S12," " S10, and S 02 as top candidates, driven by high irradiance ( ≥6.2kWhm^(-2) day ^(-1) ), gentle slopes ( <3% ), reasonable grid proximity, suitable land cover, and adequate environmental buffers. Sensitivity checks indicate ranking stability under modest weight perturbations, reflecting strong physical signal in the data. The framework is minimal, auditable, and readily swappable with GIS-derived layers, making it suitable for early-stage planning, stakeholder dialogue, and policy screening in semiarid contexts.

Abstract: The food and beverage sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation, which has in- creased the need for flexible, efficient, and user-friendly ordering platforms. Conventional restaurant systems often struggle with problems like order mismatches, extended waiting times, heavy dependence on staff, and outdated payment methods. To overcome these challenges, we introduce Swift Kiosk, a digital kiosk solution tailored for caf´es and restaurants. Developed using Electron.js, Swift Kiosk en- hances the dining experience by offering customizable ordering, seamless UPI-based payments, and reduced reliance on manual operations. A key highlight of Swift Kiosk is its meal customization feature, where customers can choose portion sizes, ingredients, dietary options (such as vegan, keto, or gluten- free), and preferred cooking styles. The system displays a real-time preview of the customized dish, ensuring precision before order confirmation. Orders are then sent directly to the kitchen system, which minimizes delays and reduces the chance of human error. Additionally, secure UPI integration enables quick, cashless transactions for a smoother checkout process. By streamlining order-taking, payment, and analytics, Swift Kiosk helps restaurants lower labor re- querulents while delivering higher customer satisfaction. This technology-driven approach modernizes traditional restaurant operations, cutting costs, improving efficiency, and creating a customer-focused dining environment. As the industry continues to adopt digital innovations, Swift Kiosk stands out as a scalable, sustainable, and future-ready solution for restaurant management.

Facial Expression Recognition For Mental Health

Uncategorized

Authors: Dr. Radha Shirbhate, Zaidkhan Pathan, Aditya Gude, Vishal Joshi

Abstract: Mental health plays a vital role in determining overall well-being, productivity, and social interaction [1], [2]. However, diagnosing mental disorders like depression and anx- iety often relies on self-reporting and therapist observation, which may introduce subjectivity and delay treatment. This paper presents an AI-based facial expression recognition (FER) framework that analyzes human emotions from visual cues to assist early mental health assessment [3], [4]. The proposed system uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained on the FER-2013 dataset, combined with MediaPipe for real-time facial landmark extraction and OpenCV for image preprocessing. The model recognizes seven basic emotions: happy, sad, fear, anger, disgust, surprise, and neutral. Real-time video streams are processed, and the detected emotional states are visualized on a dashboard that can track emotion trends over time [5]. The system demonstrates promising performance with accuracy above 92% on validation data and real-time latency under 40 ms/frame [6]. The integration of FER technology into mental health analysis offers an innovative, non-invasive, and continuous monitoring tool that complements traditional clinical methods.

Abusive and Hate Speech Detection in Social Media using Natural Language Processing

Uncategorized

Authors: Praveen B, Sripadma R

Abstract: Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp have emerged as primary channels for public communication, information sharing, and social interaction. However, the same platforms also serve as spaces where abusive expressions, offensive remarks, and hate speech are increasingly common. Hate speech may target individuals or groups based on factors such as religion, nationality, gender, ethnicity, or other identity characteristics, and can result in psychological harm, discrimination, and real-world conflict. Manual moderation of such continuously increasing online content is challenging, inconsistent, and time-consuming. Therefore, automated detection systems are needed to analyze and classify harmful language. This research proposes a Natural Language Processing based system that preprocesses text, extracts features using TF-IDF, and classifies content using Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results show that this approach effectively distinguishes between normal, abusive, and hate speech, making it suitable for real-time moderation in social media platforms.

Cognitive Data Governance Pipelines For Autonomous Multi-Cloud Enterprise Platforms

Uncategorized

Authors: Vasudev Sharma

Abstract: The proliferation of enterprise data across multi-cloud infrastructures has intensified the complexity of managing data integrity, regulatory compliance, and interoperability in distributed ecosystems. This study introduces a cognitive data governance pipeline designed to autonomously orchestrate, monitor, and optimize governance functions across heterogeneous enterprise platforms such as SAP HANA, Oracle Autonomous Database, and cloud-native storage systems. Unlike conventional rule-based frameworks, the proposed model leverages deep learning, semantic reasoning, and federated policy orchestration to build adaptive feedback loops that detect inconsistencies, predict compliance deviations, and self-correct data governance pathways in real time. The architecture integrates an explainable intelligence layer that interprets anomaly behaviors, traces root causes, and supports transparent auditability without human intervention. Through simulated deployments in hybrid cloud environments, the framework demonstrates measurable improvements in compliance latency, metadata synchronization, and decision throughput, achieving over 35 percent higher efficiency in governance verification and 25 percent reduction in manual remediation efforts. The cognitive design transforms governance from a static, policy-driven function into a dynamic, self-learning system capable of aligning continuously with regulatory and operational shifts. The findings advance the notion of autonomous governance intelligence as a foundational component of modern multi-cloud data ecosystems, offering enterprises a sustainable pathway toward resilient, compliant, and self-regulating digital operations.
