Full text linkMaulana Muhammad Hussain Azad’s essay "Sair-e-Zindagi" describes life and its different stages. The essay starts with the words of a sage that when a person comes into the world, he is completely ignorant and innocent. Then there is childhood, which he finds in the form of a beautiful and carefree life, and then there is youth, which is a beautiful, exciting and colorful period of life, and it is full of emotions and desires. After that, gradually the organs of a person start to decay and he moves from youth to old age. By going to old age, he becomes greedier about life. A critical review of the said essay is presented in this article highlighting the characteristics pertaining to style and diction of the writer.

Fake visual content detection using two-stream convolutional neural networks
No full textRapid progress in adversarial learning has enabled the generation of realistic-looking fake visual content. To distinguish between fake and real visual content, several detection techniques have been proposed. The performance of most of these techniques however drops off significantly if the test and the training data are sampled from different distributions. This motivates efforts towards improving the generalization of fake detectors. Since current fake content generation techniques do not accurately model the frequency spectrum of the natural images, we observe that the frequency spectrum of the fake visual data contains discriminative characteristics that can be used to detect fake content. We also observe that the information captured in the frequency spectrum is different from that of the spatial domain. Using these insights, we propose to complement frequency and spatial domain features using a two-stream convolutional neural network architecture called TwoStreamNet. We demonstrate the improved generalization of the proposed two-stream network to several unseen generation architectures, datasets, and techniques. The proposed detector has demonstrated significant performance improvement compared to the current state-of-the-art fake content detectors with the fusing of frequency and spatial domain streams also improving the generalization of the detector. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.Scopu
MITIGATING ARC FLASH HAZARD BASED ON PROTECTIVE DEVICES RE-COORDINATION IN SMART DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
No full textThe severity of arc fault can be reduced by reducing the fault clearing time. Protection engineers coordinate the protective devices keeping in view the bolted fault currents. To ensure the coordination between the devices sufficient discrimination margins are provided as well. The scheme works well for bolted faults but takes comparatively longer time for clearing arc faults. If the discrimination margins used by protection engineers are carefully reduced without disturbing the coordination between various devices, the arc fault clearing time can be reduced. In this paper, ETAP software has been used to model a smart distribution network using actual field settings for protective devices on distribution feeders, distributors and industrial units. Arc flash analysis is performed to check arc fault severity level at different system locations. Locations with extremely high arc fault energy level are identified. The protective device settings are revised with reduced discrimination margins and incorporated in protective device models in ETAP. Short circuit analysis performed afterwards showed circuit analysis that coordination is not disturbed and scheme works well for all fault conditions. Since the discrimination margins have been reduced, this results in reduced arc fault clearing time in distribution networks
Permeability-Selectivity Analysis of Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration Membranes: Effect of Pore Size and Shape Distribution and Membrane Stretching
No full textWe present a modeling approach to determine the permeability-selectivity tradeoff for microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes with a distribution of pore sizes and pore shapes. Using the formulated permeability-selectivity model, the effect of pore aspect ratio and pore size distribution on the permeability-selectivity tradeoff of the membrane is analyzed. A finite element model is developed to study the effect of membrane stretching on the distribution of pore sizes and shapes in the stretched membrane. The effect of membrane stretching on the permeability-selectivity tradeoff of membranes is also analyzed. The results show that increasing pore aspect ratio improves membrane performance while increasing the width of pore size distribution deteriorates the performance. It was also found that the effect of membrane stretching on the permeability-selectivity tradeoff is greatly affected by the uniformity of pore distribution in the membrane. Stretching showed a positive shift in the permeability-selectivity tradeoff curve of membranes with well-dispersed pores while in the case of pore clustering, a negative shift in the permeability-selectivity tradeoff curve was observed
A data-driven interactive system for aerodynamic and user-centred generative vehicle design
Full text linkIn this work, we propose a data-driven design pipeline for quick design exploration of performance and appearance guided alternatives for vehicle design. At the heart of our system is a machine learning-based generative design method to provide users with a set of diverse optimal design alternatives and an interactive design technique to induce users’ preference into the design exploration. The generative design method is the structure on two search process, qualitative and quantitative. To avoid the curse of dimensionality, the qualitative search process first builds up a lower-dimensional representation of a given design space, which is then explored using the unsupervised k-means clustering to synthesise a representative set of user-preferred designs. The quantitative search process explores the design space to find an optimal design in terms of performance criterion such as drag coefficient. To reduce the computational complexity, instead of evaluating drag via Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, a surrogate model is developed to predict the drag coefficients. The designs generated after the generative design step are presented to the user at the interactive step, where potential regions of the design space are identified around the user-selected designs. Afterwards, a new design space is generated by removing the non-preferred regions, which helps to focus the computational efforts on the exploration of the user preferred regions of the design space for a design tailored to the user’s requirements. We demonstrated the performance of the proposed approach on a two-dimensional side silhouette of a sport-utility vehicle
A Comparative Analysis of Camera, LiDAR and Fusion Based Deep Neural Networks for Vehicle Detection
Full text linkSelf-driving cars are an active area of interdisciplinary research spanning Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems, and control engineering. One crucial component needed in ensuring autonomous navigation is to accurately detect vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstacles on the road and ascertain their distance from the self-driving vehicle. The primary algorithms employed for this purpose involve the use of cameras and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Another category of algorithms consists of a fusion between these two sensor data. Sensor fusion networks take input as 2D camera images and LiDAR point clouds to output 3D bounding boxes as detection results. In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the performance of three object detection methods based on the input data type. We offer a comparison of three object detection networks by considering the following metrics - accuracy, performance in occluded environment, and computational complexity. YOLOv3, BEV network, and Point Fusion were trained and tested on the KITTI benchmark dataset. The performance of a sensor fusion network was shown to be superior to single-input networks.

Biological and in vitro effects of Neem (Azadirachta indica) extract on second and third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura
No full textSpodoptera litura is a major threat to agricultural crops all over the world including Pakistan. It has developed resistance to several chemicals, especially synthetic insecticides. Plant based chemicals like extracts may serve as suitable and alternative biocontrol methods for pests in the future. The current study was conducted to determine the biology of S. litura on cabbage and the effects of two botanicals i.e. Azadirachta indica and Eucalyptus globulus against 2nd and 3rd instar larvae in controlled conditions. The incubation period of pest was 3-4 days. The average mean developmental period of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th larval instar was 2.44±0.71, 2.32±0.74, 3.43±0.68, 2.76±0.80, and 2.40±0.79 days, respectively. The pre-ovipositional, and ovipositional period of females was 2.04-3.58 and 2.89-5.71 days respectively. The total life cycle of pests was 30.83-38.79 days. Significantly higher mortality of 2nd and 3rd instar larvae was recorded in A. indica. The percentage of mortality increased with an increase in treatment time
