Lightweight Method for Two-Dimensional Object Registration for Augmented Reality| Chapter 5 | Current Overview on Science and Technology Research Vol. 10

 The purpose concerning this study is to develop an household guidance plan based on augmented real world (AR) that superimposes annotations on an indoor environment (such as, wall surfaces) and everything on devices with restricted computing power to a degree smartphones. Such a method demands a simple algorithm for the object enrollment. For the purpose, this paper proposes a two-dimensional (2D) object enrollment method established perspective distortion adjustment using vanishing points in the scene and a constant vanishing point discovery method. Current vanishing point discovery methods have the question of slight drift of the vanishing point in the videos despite claiming a fixed camera position. The projected method has resolved the problem by employing a burden particle filtering pattern. Recent approaches often engage deep neural networks (DNNs) for the registration and the fixed vanishing point detection, still DNNs require rich possessions for computing such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Since the projected method requires merely two vanishing points for the registration, the plan can be said a inconsequential method. This paper shows that the proposed burden particle permeating method suppresses the where earth meets sky drift better than the conventional moving average means, and that it allows registration of  objects based on the design.

Evaluation of Hydraulic Conductivity and Diffusion Coefficient of Unsaturated Soils from Experimental SWRC| Chapter 2 | Current Overview on Science and Technology Research Vol. 10

 Fine unsaturated soils change their water content on account of climatic environments, pipe failure, and other determinants. These changes produce drying-wetting phases that generate decrease-swelling cycles on account of variations in soil influence and water content. Several theoretical models are used to estimate the hydraulic act of soils (hydraulic conductivity and diffusion cooperative) by fitting the SWRC. The fitting model precision depends mostly on the accuracy of the exploratory points of the SWRC and the fitting model. Because of this, it is advisable to simply use the exploratory data from the SWRC to acquire the hydraulic behavior. Therefore, an treasure based on a data table, that uses an interpolation form with variable enlargements, is proposed. The process approximates the experimental SWRC utilizing a polynomial equation generated each branch (drying and moisting). This procedure clarifies the indirect method and avoids wrongs caused for one SWRC fitting process because it does not demand fitting parameters. The results show that the hydraulic behavior of soils maybe predicted exactly with the projected method than with the usual methods.

Machine Learning Application, Isotherm Modelling and Adsorption Kinetics for the Removal of Chromium (VI) using Carissa Carandas| Chapter 1 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 5

 The basic goal concerning this study is to scrutinize and predict the capacity of cheap bio-sorbent Carissa carandas in eliminating chromium from industrial waste water utilizing analytical methods and machine learning methods such as Radial Basis Function Neural Networks. The adsorption method has been widely used to separate ingot ions in bulk for many age, and it is well known to scientists. The adsorption capacity of Carissa carandas for the evacuation of Cr(VI) ions from local industrial wastewater was examined in this paper as an application to physical-time wastewater situation using differing analytical mechanisms such as Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray dissemination (XRD). In this paper, we proposed machine learning located radial footing function neural network, that is used to model the obtained exploratory results to estimate the percentage expulsion of Cr(VI) for different obscure metal ion concentrations.The adsorption of Cr(VI) from local industrial waste water by Carissa carandas groomed by chemical system, it was treated accompanying the standard test procedures, resolved using Langmuir, Freundlich isotherms and Pseudo-first and second order energetic models. Adsorbent dose, initial adsorbate aggregation, pH, and contact time all had an affect the percentage of adsorption. According to the research's verdicts, Carissa carandas was able to adsorb hexavalent chromium to a maximum of 96% at 5 ppm, 120 record, 1 g/L of adsorbent dose, pH = 5, and 95.81% utilizing ANN for the same parameters. The Carissa carandas are widespread and freely accessible in many locales, thus the results concerning this research will be economically and effectively advantageous for the health of the sea and land environments.

Mathematics as Information Compression Via the Matching and Unification of Patterns| Chapter 10 | Research Highlights in Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 3

 This paper specifies a novel perspective on the endowments of mathematics: how arithmetic may be visualized to be largely about `facts compression (IC) by way of the matching and consolidation of patterns' (ICMUP). That is itself a novel approach to IC, couched in terms of non-analytical primitives, as it stands necessary in any hearing of the foundations of arithmetic. This new perspective on the organizations of mathematics re ects the plan that, as an aid to human thinking, mathematics is inclined be consonant with much evidence for the importance of IC cruel learning, idea, and cognition. This perspective on the establishments of mathematics has developed out of a unending programme of research developing the SP Theory of Intelligence and its realisation in the SP Computer Model, a arrangement in which a generalised variant of ICMUP|the powerful concept of SP-diversified-alignment|plays a principal role. The paper shows accompanying an example how arithmetic, without some special provision, grant permission achieve condensation of information. Then it expresses examples showing by virtue of what variants of ICMUP can be seen in widely-used buildings and operations in arithmetic. Examples are also likely to show how several facets of the mathematics-connected disciplines of logic and estimating may be assumed as ICMUP. Also discussed is the intimate connection between IC and concepts of odds, with debates that there are advantages in nearing AI, cognitive learning, and concepts of probability by way of ICMUP. Also discussed is in what way or manner the close relation betwixt IC and concepts of probability has connection with the established view that few parts of mathematics are intrinsically probabilistic, and by means of what that latter view concede possibility be reconciled accompanying the all-or-nothing, `exact', forms of calculation or deduction that are familiar in arithmetic and logic. There are many potential benefits and applications of the arithmetic-as-IC perspective.

Studies on Effect of Pre-harvest Fruit Bagging on Yield and Quality of Litchi (Litchi chinensis)| Chapter 14 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 6

 This chapter aimed to highlight the effect of pre-harvest fruit bagging on yield and quality of litchi (Litchi chinensis).  The present investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat During 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven (7) treatments and three (3) replications. The treatments taken under the study were Control (T1), Non-woven Red (T2), Non-woven Blue (T3), Non-woven White (T4) Non-woven Green (T5), Non-woven Yellow (T6) and Polypropylene (T7). The maximum fruit weight (17.81g), fruit volume (20.00cc), fruit breadth (3.16cm), fruit length (3.56cm), aril weight (14.28g), peel weight (2.31g) and yield (0.44kg/bunch) were recorded in T4 (Non-woven White). Sun burn (8%) and fruit cracking (5.66%) percentage was observed lowest in T4. During storage, highest shelf life was observed in T4 i.e. 10.50 days. It can be concluded that all the bags studied in the present experiment were found to be good both in qualitative and quantitative characters and also increased shelf life. However, in terms of morphological and shelf life characteristics, the non-woven white bag outperformed the other bags.
