ETCNN: Extra Tree and Convolutional Neural Network-based Ensemble Model for COVID-19 Tweets Sentiment Classification
No full textPandemics influence people negatively and people experience fear and disappointment. With the global outspread of COVID-19, the sentiments of the general public are substantially influenced, and analyzing their sentiments could help to devise corresponding policies to alleviate negative sentiments. Often the data collected from social media platforms is unstructured leading to low classification accuracy. This study brings forward an ensemble model where the benefits of handcrafted features and automatic feature extraction are combined by machine learning and deep learning models. Unstructured data is obtained, preprocessed, and annotated using TextBlob and VADER before training machine learning models. Similarly, the efficiency of Word2Vec, TF, and TF-IDF features is also analyzed. Results reveal the better performance of the extra tree classifier when trained with TF-IDF features from TextBlob annotated data. Overall, machine learning models perform better with TF-IDF and TextBlob. The proposed model obtains superior performance using both annotation techniques with 0.97 and 0.95 scores of accuracy using TextBlob and VADER respectively with Word2Vec features. Results reveal that use of machine learning and deep learning models together with a voting criterion tends to yield better results than other machine learning models. Analysis of sentiments indicates that predominantly people possess negative sentiments regarding COVID-19

Nitrogen Management in Calcareous Soils: Problems and Solutions
No full textNitrogen (N) is the most widely applied plant nutrient and is a key constituent of animal manures. Improvement in crop
yields and high economic returns have been made possible through supplementation of crops with organic and inorganic
fertilizers. The movement of N in the environment has been extensively studied and documented. The fate of N ranges from
nitrification, denitrification, nitrous oxide formation, leaching of nitrate, and volatilization of ammonia. Even with this
knowledge the variation in N movement within the soil, air and water varies greatly with changed edaphic factors. For
instance the fate of N fertilizer under calcareous soil systems still has not been investigated widely. We reviewed the
sporadic information available on N fate and management in calcareous soils especially in Pakistan. We discussed the
sources and fate of N in calcareous soils of Pakistan and also the currently adopted and newly developed method to reduce
the N losse
Biochemistry, Risk Factors and Major Chronic Complications of Type 2 Diabetes among Patients of Southern Punjab, Pakistan
No full text<p>Nearly, half of the diabetic population in Pakistan not diagnosed properly and approximately half of the affected population in the beginning characterized diabetic patients is seen to comprise the chronic diabetic complications. This study was conducted to estimate the existing status of chronic complications associated with diabetes mellitus .This research was conducted at Department of Diabetes, Jampur located in southern region of Punjab, Pakistan from February 2017 to June 2017. A comprehensive evaluation of medical history and clinical and laboratory tests of blood samples were performed to analyze the dyslipidemia and related complications. A neuropathy disability score normally greater than zero was used to access peripheral neuropathy as standard parameters with range in low, medium and high. An opthalmoscopic performed comprehensive examination of dilated retina. Obesity, low HDL, High LDL and total cholesterol were considerably higher in females. Neuropathy level was higher in patients with short diabetes duration at the same time as other chronic complications were higher in patients with long diabetes duration and with high age group. This research will be useful for administration and control of secondary complications in diabetic patients of Pakistan.</p>

Measuring the Impact of Factors Affecting Game Development in Distributed Software Development
No full textA software game is an application that is not only applicable for entertainment purposes but also used in domains like business, education and health care. Software game development is a multidisciplinary process that involves art, sound, artificial intelligence (AI), control systems and human factors which makes it different from traditional software development practice. Distributed software development (DSD) facilitates decentralized zones for the availability of multidisciplinary human resources at less cost. Past studies explored many influencing factors for game development, however, how these factors majorly affect the game development in Distributed Software Development (DSD) environment yet not been studied as per our knowledge. In this research, we not only identified the most influencing factors for game development in DSD but also gauge a relationship matrix between these factors with games’ technical requirements. In our evaluation, we took twenty-nine top-rated animated games to establish a mapping of these factors present in these games. To calculate the variation in a given project budget, we execute Monte-Carlo simulations between the independent variable (influencing factors) and dependent variable (overall cost) that forecast the valuation of each variable impact on the overall nominal cost of the project. Empirical results of our research conclude that among all identified factors, ‘Physical Resources’ and ‘Freelancers’ have a significant impact on the overall project cost. Our research findings quantitatively assist the software project managers to estimate the cost deviations due to influencing factors in Distributed Software Development (DSD) environment.
 
Smart Tourist Recommendation System - Final Year Project
No full textMy final thesis project is called the "Smart Tourist Recommendation System," and it's all about making travel easier for people using a special Android app. This app helps tourists find the best places near them to visit, taking into account where they are and what time it is. Imagine if you're new to Rawalpindi and Islamabad – this app would suggest cool places to see and good places to eat, all close by. It's not just about showing places, though – the app can even send helpful text messages to people who might not know how to use it well. So, if you're looking for a great travel experience without all the confusion, this app could be your new best friend!</p
A Survey on Data Security in Cloud Computing Using Blockchain: Challenges, Existing-State-Of-The-Art Methods, And Future Directions
No full textCloud computing is one of the ruling storage solutions. However, the cloud computing centralized storage method is not stable. Blockchain, on the other hand, is a decentralized cloud storage system that ensures data security. Cloud environments are vulnerable to several attacks which compromise the basic confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security of the network. This research focus on decentralized, safe data storage, high data availability, and effective use of storage resources. To properly respond to the situation of the blockchain method, we have conducted a comprehensive survey of the most recent and promising blockchain state-of-the-art methods, the P2P network for data dissemination, hash functions for data authentication, and IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) protocol for data integrity. Furthermore, we have discussed a detailed comparison of consensus algorithms of Blockchain concerning security. Also, we have discussed the future of blockchain and cloud computing. The major focus of this study is to secure the data in Cloud computing using blockchain and ease for researchers for further research work
Plagiarism Detection Process using Data Mining Techniques
No full text<strong>As the technology is growing very fast and usage of computer systems is increased as compared to the old times, plagiarism is the phenomenon which is increasing day by day. Wrongful appropriation of someone else’s work is known as plagiarism. Manually detection of plagiarism is difficult so this process should be automated. There are various tools which can be used for plagiarism detection. Some works on intrinsic plagiarism while other work on extrinsic plagiarism. Data mining the field which can help in detecting the plagiarism as well as can help to improve the efficiency of the process. Different data mining techniques can be used to detect plagiarism. Text mining, clustering, bi-gram, tri-grams, n-grams are the techniques which can help in this process</strong></jats:p
