Study on Image Enhancement Using Lifting and Stationary Wavelet Transforms and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization | Chapter 6 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 4

The goal is to provide a technique for image improvement that encompasses both resolution and contrast augmentation. The ability of an image to exhibit its details is referred to as resolution. For resolution enhancement, Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) is combined with Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT), and for contrast enhancement, SWT is combined with Contrast limited adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). When SWT is utilised in conjunction with LWT, the resolution is much improved while the execution time is dramatically reduced. SWT is used with CLAHE to improve contrast and reduce noise effects compared to other approaches. The proposed method produces improved outcomes, as evidenced by PSNR, Noise Estimation, and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), as well as visual results.

Trail-Building: Habitat Destruction by a Different Name | Chapter 5 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 4

In general, scientists are truthful in what they say — but not in what they investigate. Despite scouring one of the world's top libraries (the University of California, Berkeley), I couldn't discover a single book or essay on trail-negative building's effects. When I see a picture of a path, I always say to myself, "Oh, a trail - so what?" It takes a lot of willpower to consider the wildlife habitat that was lost to make way for the trail. The habitat damage isn't limited to the trailbed, either. A grizzly can hear a human from a mile away and smell one from five miles away, according to Ed Grumbine's book Ghost Bears. And grizzlies are most likely not alone in this regard. Animals within five miles of a trail, in other words, are unable to fully utilise their habitat. That's habitat destruction in action! We would be faced with our own destructiveness every time we entered a park if there were no trails. We can only pretend that we are not harming the environment since it has already been destroyed for us. There is just one solution that is compatible with wildlife conservation: reducing the number, size, and use of trails.

The Determinant Factors of Green Maintenance Management Capabilities: An Advanced Research | Chapter 4 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 4

The existing maintenance management system has harmed the operation management's efficiency and capacities. In any production system, maintaining production capability is an important aspect of operations management. Due to present maintenance practises, many challenges have arisen, including low productivity and quality, insufficient financing, poor safety and morale, and environmental dangers. In today's world, businesses are embracing green as a viable and appealing method for achieving sustainability and preserving competitiveness in their operations in order to meet customer needs. In this way, green maintenance management capability (GMMC) enables companies to increase their environmental knowledge and commitment while improving maintenance practises. Green technology and green human resource management were assessed in this study, major issues were addressed, and recommendations for potential research were given.

Anomalous Neutrino Radioisotope (ANRI) Absorption: Capture Cross Section | Chapter 3 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 4

The goal of this work was to streamline and display experimental results devoted to the purposeful investigation of the neutrino capture cross section by a variety of radioactive substances, that is, the observable essence of anomalous neutrino radioisotope (ANRI) absorption as a new effect. Two types of experimental facilities based on separate physical processes - mechanical energy conversion of absorbed neutrinos and thermal - were utilised to ensure the accuracy of the data obtained. Both types of measurements were completed satisfactorily, with the findings showing a qualitative similarity (capture cross section 10–12). The influence of ANRI can be used to every sort of study and technology, as well as the design of modern technology.

Study on Design and Fabrication of a Detergent Mixing Machine | Chapter 2 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 4

The goal of this essay is to design and build a cost-effective detergent mixing machine that is simple to maintain and operate. The bowl mixer (pan), frame, paddle, and shaft are all made of mild steel. During operation, the machine ensures that the detergent ingredients are mixed evenly and that the detergent is discharged smoothly at the base. The mixing machine's performance was assessed using detergent and liquid ingredients/constituents. Various volumes of samples comprising detergent and liquid ingredients were initially created, and the mixing machine and traditional mixer were used to guarantee that the same quantities of each sample were combined (manually operated). Under the same settings, the results of the mixing machine were compared to the performance of a conventional mixer. The mixing machine's efficiency was discovered to be 80.7 percent. This research reveals that while mixing detergent and liquid soap, the traditional mixer takes longer to operate and consumes more manpower, but the mixing machine produces in a shorter time and at a lower cost. Laundry workshops will be able to employ detergent mixers instead of manual labour, which is inconvenient, time consuming, and inefficient. It also reduces the cost of purchasing and production, as well as encouraging its use for laundry at home.

A Cross-sectional Study of Dermatoglyphics Patterns in Female Schizophrenics | Chapter 1 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 4

The goal of this study was to compare the fingerprint and palm print patterns of female schizophrenia patients to those of healthy people.

The study was conducted in a cross-sectional manner.

Material and Methods: Fifty females with schizophrenia, ranging in age from 16 to 60, and an equal number of age-matched normal controls were chosen. The conventional ink procedure was used to capture the fingerprints and palm prints.

The arches in schizophrenic females are significantly shorter than in controls (p0.05). There is a higher percentage of frequency of presence of patterns in Th/I1 and hypothenar areas of the right hand in schizophrenic females as compared to controls; the difference in frequency of Th/I1 area is statistically significant (p0.05); and a low percentage of frequency of presence of patterns in I2, I3, and I4 areas of the left hand in schizophrenic females as compared to controls; of which, I4 area shows highl When compared to controls, schizophrenic females have a significantly higher prevalence of ridge dissociation in both hands (p0.001). The mean'atd' angle in both palms of schizophrenic females is higher than in controls (left hand - (p0.05)). The mean a-b ridge count in the left hand and the mean b-c ridge count in the right hand are lower (p0.05) in schizophrenic females than in controls.

Conclusion: Genetic variables can recognise dermatoglyphic patterns. Dermatoglyphic patterns can discriminate between patients and controls when analysed in conjunction with clinical symptoms of schizophrenia.

Phytochemical Investigation of Crotalaria Species-Isolation of a New Dihydro Chalcone from Crotalaria ramosissima | Chapter 15 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol. 2

 Natural items used to be mankind's only source of medication. Plants use a variety of biosynthetic processes to create unexpected new structures that are physiologically active. Phytochemical examination of medicinal plants indicated the existence of a wide spectrum of pharmacologically active chemical elements such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, and triterpenoids. The genus Crotalaria, which belongs to the fabaceae family, contains 500 species that are found in tropical and subtropical locations and can be utilised as medical folklore remedies to treat a variety of ailments. From this genus, several flavones, chalcones, and Chromeno chalcones have been isolated. Crotalaria ramisissima was re-investigated, and a novel dimethyl, dihydro chalcone, Crotaramin, was isolated, and its structure was identified using 2D spectrum techniques.
