Solar-Powered Bushfire Detection Mechanism

This project designed a prototype preventative measure for heat-induced disasters like bushfires and general home fires. The motivation for this project was the loss of life and property due to wildfire in rural Australia. The micro-controller will send an alert message and sound an alarm when the temperature value exceeds or equals the set temperature of . It is programmed using the programming language embedded ‘C’. Comprising of a solar panel, siren, temperature sensor and a Bluetooth module, this eco-friendly device can provide digitalised warnings to homes and farms where protection matters most. Simplistic programming using the KEIL IDE software in conjunction with a commenced after initial stages like a schematic and box diagram were formed using the ‘SchematoPro’ software. Following this, the power source was attached. To test the prototype, we used boundary case testing to verify the functionality of each component under certain circumstances. The quality of the temperature sensor was tested by comparing it to that of an alternate temperature probe which had a tool error of +/- 0.01. A humidity and smoke sensor could be attached to ensure a more realistic indication of a heat-induced threat. As an alternative to the Bluetooth module, a GSM system could be used to further the range of the device domestically

A Russo-Dye type Theorem and Stinespring representation for invariant block multilinear completely positive maps

In this article, we investigate certain basic properties of invariant multilinear CP maps which hold true in the theory of CP maps between two $C^*$-algebras. In some cases, results are affirmative and in some cases results are negative. For instance, we show that every invariant multilinear CP map is automatically symmetric and completely bounded. Surprisingly these results are unknown in the literature (see \cite{Heo 00,Heo,HJ 2019}). As a negative result, we provide a concrete example of positive multilinear map $\varphi : C(X)^{3} \to \mathbb{C}$ which is not CP. We also prove Russo-Dye type theorem for invariant multilinear positive maps on a commutative domain. Further, we provide a simple and independent proof of Stinespring dilation theorem for block CP maps. This generalizes the work of A. Kaplan \cite{AK89}. We introduce multilinear version of invariant block CP map $\varphi=[\varphi_{ij}] : M_{n}(\mathcal{A})^k \to M_n(\mathcal{B({H})})$. Then we derive that each $\varphi_{ij}$ can be dilated to a common commutative tuple of $*$-homomorphisms. This result is a generalization of J. Heo's Stinespring type dilation theorems of \cite{Heo99,Heo}. As a special case of our result recovers a finer version of J. Heo's Stinespring type dilation theorem of \cite{Heo} as we do not use the additional assumptions symmetric and completely bounded in the hypothesis. As a natural appeal, the suitable notion of minimality has been identified in this framework. As an application, we show Russo-Dye type theorem for invariant multilinear completely positive maps.Comment: 30 pages, comments and suggestions are welcom

IruMozhi: Automatically classifying diglossia in Tamil

Tamil, a Dravidian language of South Asia, is a highly diglossic language with two very different registers in everyday use: Literary Tamil (preferred in writing and formal communication) and Spoken Tamil (confined to speech and informal media). Spoken Tamil is under-supported in modern NLP systems. In this paper, we release IruMozhi, a human-annotated dataset of parallel text in Literary and Spoken Tamil. We train classifiers on the task of identifying which variety a text belongs to. We use these models to gauge the availability of pretraining data in Spoken Tamil, to audit the composition of existing labelled datasets for Tamil, and to encourage future work on the variety.Comment: 4 pages main text, 7 tota

Assessing Core-Monopolization and the Possibilities for the Semi-Periphery in the World-System Today

Drawing upon both classic and more contemporary world-systems analysis, along with oft-forgotten sections of Arghiri Emmanuel’s work on technology, this paper studies, through a quantitative and qualitative comparative method, the history and development of the global semiconductors industry, its selective spatial re-organization/peripheralization over time, and the logic of technology transfers within the context of core-monopolization of high profit industries. The paper then draws comparisons between semiconductors and prior core-monopolized industries like the automobile industry, and analyzes attempts at entry into core-like production by the large semi-peripheries such as China and India and the difficulties faced by them not only by the structural limitations of the world-system but also due to opposition from the core nations (like the U.S.-China Trade War). Resultingly, the analysis concludes that significant upward mobility for the large semi-peripheries through entry into core industries is, within the current capitalist world-system, largely unfeasible

SNACS Annotation of Case Markers and Adpositions in Hindi

We present in-progress annotation of semantic relations expressed through adpositions and case markers in a Hindi corpus. We used the multilingual SNACS annotation scheme, which has been applied to a variety of typologically diverse languages. Annotation problems in Hindi are examined and used to suggest changes to SNACS. We look towards finalizing the corpus and using it for future work in typology and semantic role-dependent tasks
