Abstract: The gaming industry has witnessed an absolute change because of the Free-to-Play (F2P) model, which not only provides everyone with the chance to enjoy games free of charge but also produces substantial revenue through in-game purchases. The potential threats to the player experience posed by intrusive monetization methods, in particular, loot boxes and pay-2-win mechanics, can result in decreased user engagement and long-run dissatisfaction. This survey studies the ways in which a game developer can achieve the balance between monetization optimization and a player experience – maintaining a high-quality player experience. A research that used a mixed-methods approach was carried out by the authors, including surveys, interviews, and sentiment analysis. The preliminary results support the idea that ethical, viable monetization schemes, like digital clothes in shop and game passes, are good methods for revenue generation and maintaining the player base. On the contrary, those that use exploitative measures will often encounter dislike and a high churn rate, as well. -seen in the gamers' reactions to this interaction. The strategies include the most suitable ones for fair, transparent, and sustainable monetization in F2P games.

Abstract: This study introduces an approach for depression detection through an Additive Cross-Modal Attention Network (ACMA) that integrates audio and textual data to improve diagnostic accuracy without relying on self-report questionnaires. Traditional depression assessments often depend on patient- disclosed information, which may not always be accurate due to stigma or personal reluctance, leading to potential underdiagno- sis. The ACMA model addresses these limitations by leveraging cross-modal attention mechanisms within a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and Transformer model to cap- ture and assign optimal weights to relevant features across audio and text modalities. This enables the model to effectively detect depressive symptoms by analyzing both linguistic and acoustic cues. The model is designed for both binary classification (depressed vs. non-depressed) and regression tasks to estimate depression severity, utilizing the DAIC-WOZ dataset for evaluation. ACMA demonstrates significant improvements over baseline models, achieving high accuracy, recall, and F1 scores. Additionally, the model’s adaptability across different datasets underscores its potential as a robust, non-intrusive tool for clinical applications in mental health diagnostics. This work advances the field of au- tomated depression detection, providing a foundation for further research in cross-modal mental health assessment systems.

Abstract: It is within this context of the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) that the development of smart energy management, which can optimally manage the power consumption, increase the battery life, and enhance the vehicle efficiency in various driving patterns and conditions, has become essential. Conventional control strategies such as rule-based strategies and model predictive control can work well in controlled environments, but may be insufficiently resilient to the real-world complexity of changing traffic, gradients, and driver actions. In this work, a new real-time energy management strategy for EVs is developed by means of a RL-based optimal control framework, where DQN is adopted to dynamically optimize decisions about energy utilization. The proposed RL controller learns the optimal policies by exploring the real-time high-fidelity EV simulation environment, which accounts for vehicle dynamics, battery attributes, and external driving conditions. Unlike classical controllers, the RL-based solution does not require any predefined models or future prediction horizon to operate, as it continually learns from its own experience to decide in real-time on the power split between the electrical machine and auxiliary systems. The reward functions are designed to optimize for, for instance, energy efficiency, battery health, and driving performance features e.g. acceleration and driving smoothness. Simulation results show that the proposed RL-based controller can outperform benchmark strategies in various driving scenarios, obtaining up to 18% better energy efficiency and increased adaptability to changing situations. Moreover, the learned policy is robust in controlling battery temperature and state of charge (SOC) fluctuation which results in an increased battery life. This research reveals the capabilities of reinforcement learning as a promising scalable and self-adaptive technique for energy control in future EVs. For future works, we plan to further consider practical applications, multi-agent vehicle coordination, and integrating the proposed algorithm with V2I to realize cooperative energy optimization in smart transportation networks.

Abstract: This Paper describes the high speed multiplier by using Booth Algorithm. Booth algorithm produces less delay in comparison with a normal multiplication process and it also moderates the number of partial products. We also proposed a new hybrid CLA from the existing hierarchical CLA which exhibits high performance in terms of computation, power consumption and area. Area, delay and power complexities of the resulting design are reported. Booth algorithm gives a procedure for multiplying binary integers in signed 2’s complement representation in efficient way, i.e., less number of additions/subtractions required.

Abstract: Skin conditions are among the most widespread health concerns globally, often triggered by factors such as fungal and bacterial infections, allergies, viruses, genetic predispositions, or exposure to chemicals. Additionally, environmental influences—such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, pollution, and varying climate conditions—play a significant role in the development of skin disorders. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment. Traditionally, skin diseases have been identified through biopsies and manual assessment by dermatologists. However, advancements in laser and photonics-based medical technologies have significantly enhanced the speed and precision of skin disease diagnosis. Despite this progress, such high-end diagnostic tools remain costly and less accessible. As a cost-effective alternative, image processing techniques have emerged, enabling the creation of automated dermatological screening systems at preliminary stages. In this work, we introduce a hybrid diagnostic model that integrates deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) approaches. Patients submit images of affected skin areas, which serve as input to the system. The primary goal of this project is to accurately identify the specific type of skin disease and suggest appropriate treatments. Employing a range of ML and DL algorithms, the proposed method not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also accelerates the entire process.
