Threats and Anthropogenic Influence on the Biodiversity of Birds in Urban Ecosystem
Get PDFIn order to accommodate the growing human population, urbanization is spreading quickly over the world, but it is drastically affecting the local flora and fauna. The current study was conducted in and around the Chhattisgarh city of Bilaspur, covering a three-stage urbanization gradient. During the COVID-19 pandemic, observations were conducted at the three sites that were chosen between September 2019 and February 2021. Bird surveys employed the point count approach, while measures of sound pressure, or noise, were taken at each of the three sites that were chosen. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Fisher\u27s alpha diversity index, and total species richness were used to calculate the avian diversity. The urban center had the highest sound pressure and the lowest bird species richness; however, as we moved out into the countryside, the noise levels dropped and the bird species richness rose. This is mostly because urban settings are becoming less attractive to many bird species due to increased noise levels. Additionally, we discovered that the diversity of the urban bird community was far lower than that of the rural one, with only a few dominant species
Development and Simulation of a Hybrid System Combining Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Arrays and Wind Turbines Using Integrated Energy System Modeling
Get PDFThis paper aims to create a simulation for a renewable energy system that integrates solar and wind power to meet the energy demands of a local grid efficiently. The process begins with determining the optimal sizing and layout of the solar and wind components, taking into account factors such as available space, solar irradiance, wind speed, and local weather conditions. Selecting the appropriate components, including solar panels, wind turbines, inverters, and batteries, is crucial for the system\u27s success. Key considerations in this selection include efficiency, reliability, and compatibility. To manage the operation of the renewable energy system, an Integrated Energy System Modeling (IESM) is developed. This model is designed to optimize energy distribution among solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and the nanogrid, ensuring maximum use of renewable energy while meeting energy demands. Simulation software is used to model and assess the system\u27s performance under various scenarios, aiding in analysis, validation, and optimization. Additionally, optimization algorithms are employed to determine the most effective system configuration, control strategies, and dispatch algorithms. This thorough approach ensures the development of an efficient renewable energy system tailored to the specific needs of the local grid
Study on Electric Tractor
Get PDFThe increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices has led to the development of electric tractors as an alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered tractors. This abstract provides an overview of electric tractors, highlighting their key features, benefits, and potential challenges. Electric tractors are agricultural vehicles that utilize electric motors as their primary source of propulsion, eliminating the need for internal combustion engines. These tractors rely on electricity stored in on board batteries or obtained through external charging infrastructure. The shift towards electric power offers several advantages, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower operating costs, and improved energy efficiency
Smart Portable Fuzzy Logic Control Systems for Active Ankle Foot
Get PDFWithout our foot, which God gave us as a gift to assist us in walking, running, and dancing, our daily activities would be negatively impacted. But occasionally, because of neurological conditions or strokes, the muscles or joints that control our gait pattern are also affected, which results in a gait pattern that is disrupted. This abnormality makes it difficult to maintain a correct foot landing and foot clearance throughout the foot striking and swing phases, respectively. Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO), an orthotic device used to modify gait patterns, is created to get around this restriction. As a result, this paper enters the picture, and the controller is created and implemented onto the c-RIO to control the actuation mechanism for the device utilizing fuzzy logic.The controller is created using fuzzy logic and installed on the c-RIO according to the design of the paper. Analog gyroscope data is used to gather the gait patterns of both feet and feed them to the controller. In order to analyze the gait patterns, only two parameters—angle and angular velocity—are taken into account. Fuzzification, fuzzy if-then rules, and defuzzification are the three steps in the controller design process. The output that will operate the actuator is the defuzzified output. Extension or flexion With a regular walking speed, motion aid is given during various parts of the gait cycle. Designing an intelligent control system to initiate the necessary motion to generate flexion or extension by examining inputs from the sensors constitutes the bulk of the work. Additionally, the sensor data induces a torque through an actuator. By continuously observing the gait patterns, the control system gives real-time control of the damaged foot. The sensor system with a gyroscope produces the input signals for the control system. Plantar-flexion and dorsiflexion movements of the ankle during walking are provided by the FLC created in Laboratory Virtual Instruments Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW)
Colacasia Plants Used Treat Waste Water from Homes
Get PDFOne of the low-cost wastewater treatment options is Root Zone Technology. We can treat non-point sources effectively, with the help of this method. To achieve this purpose, trailed by the source area bed, we must distinct non-point bases into created channels inside the river bank, or if the non-point bases are natural nulls, we are able to deliver this system through their channel. We set up a channel on which I created a source area bed and conducted a laboratory examination the director\u27s production on a variety the factors. The two parameters for which channels must be built are flow rate and detention time. As a result, I\u27m adjusting the flow rate to see how the parameter changes over time. When we obtain the best result with the most flow, we say we\u27ve optimized. For the three-day, seven-day, and twenty-one-day detention periods, I received satisfactory results. Using this information, I created a root zone bed system for the identified actual domestic sources
Technology Paradigm Assessment using a Decision Support Model
Get PDFThinking about the coming of a new technology paradigm means thinking about a number of things, from managerial decisions and strategic evaluations to design choices and technology-related choices. In order to address this latter viewpoint, the current study puts forth a model that calculates the likelihood that creative goods will succeed based on design choices. The emphasis on the design choices that give rise to significant changes is not antagonistic but rather a supplement to the conventional forecasting viewpoints that take environmental or process management aspects into account. The model is built on a database of previous inventions that were successful and failed. This information is used to construct a logistic regression model, the results of which can be useful to managers and designers alike. The former receive guidance on how certain design decisions impact innovation uptake and product perception, while the latter receive assistance in determining which initiatives hold the greatest promise. Two digital product cases serve as examples of the model
Hybrid Cloud Strategies for Enterprise Fulfilment Applications: A Performance and Scalability Perspective

IRIS Recognition Segmentation Signal Processing System
Get PDFOver the past ten years, the growing emphasis on security has drawn a lot of interest in iris recognition in both academic and practical settings. Due to its high accuracy, reliability, and uniqueness, iris recognition is becoming increasingly popular in the fields of access control, electronic commerce, and border security. The iris is the best potent identification and verification feature when compared to extra biometric modalities because the human iris does not change throughout the course of a person\u27s lifetime. Feature extraction, segmentation, template matching and normalization are the first four steps of iris recognition. These preprocessing techniques used by different researchers for iris segmentation are the focus of this review paper
