An Implementation of Polyglot Voice Supervise Home Device Using Raspberry Pi
Most of us tend to enjoy the ease of living by doing the bare minimum. The same applies while operating the devices at home by just a few touches or by using our voice in the preferred language. A smart home is an Internet of Things (IoT) platform that uses the internet to control the devices at our home, and this technology has grown enormously over the past few years encouraging new ideas. And with that thought, this system will be implementing Home Automation with Raspberry Pi and Google Assistant by controlling the appliances like lights, fans, air conditioners, temperature sensors, and more, in any preferred language. Platforms like If This Then That (IFTTT), Adafruit, Message Queueing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), and Raspberry Pi IO are used to connect the hardware with the software that is a common path for devices that are connected to the Relay module and the Google Assistant. The IFTTT platforms are easily available on our smartphones or a website that makes it easy for us to access different devices at different parts of the house or anywhere. Home automation minimizes the manual switching ON/OFF of the appliances whilst being controlled by the commands that are given by the users. This project builds an automation system that uses the range of Wifi or Bluetooth, which is easily accessible by the users to connect their devices and control them by voice through Google Assistant. This makes it easy for the users to access their devices wherever they are. Home automation comes as an advantage for older people and especially the physically disabled. The main objective of this proposed project is to provide a comfortable and a digitalized environment to use the day-to-day appliances with added security
Three-body decay of Be
Three-body correlations for the ground-state decay of the lightest two-proton
emitter Be are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical
studies are performed in a three-body hyperspherical-harmonics cluster model.
In the experimental studies, the ground state of Be was formed following
the decay of a C beam inelastically excited through
interactions with Be and C targets. Excellent agreement between theory and
experiment is obtained demonstrating the existence of complicated correlation
patterns which can elucidate the structure of Be and, possibly, of the
A=6 isobar.Comment: 17 pages, 21 figures, 5 table

Android application development for identifying maize infested with fall armyworms with Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Integrated proposed pest management (TNAU IPM) capsules
Several pests and diseases wreak havoc on maize crops worldwide. Novel and rapid methods for detecting pests and diseases in real-time will make monitoring them and designing effective management measures easier. In the recent past, maize has been imperilled by fall armyworms (Spodoptera frugiperda), which have caused substantial yield losses in maize. This study aimed to create an Android mobile application via DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network)-based AI pest detection system for maize producers. Everyone benefits from the deployment of these CNN models on mobile phones, especially farmers and agricultural extension professionals because it makes them more accessible. Automatic diagnosis of plant pest infestations from captured images through computer vision and artificial intelligence research is feasible for technological advancements. Therefore, early detection of maize fall armyworm (FAW) infestation and providing relevant recommendations in maize could result in intensified maize crop yields. . An Android mobile application was created to identify fall armyworm infection in maize and included the recommendations given by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University proposed Integrated Pest Management (TNAU IPM ) capsules in the mobile app on as to how to deal with such a problem. Digital and novel technology was chosen to address these issues in maize. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and transfer learning have recently moved into the realm of just-in-time crop pest infestation detection, following their successful use in a variety of fields. The algorithm accurately detects FAW (S. frugiperda) infected areas on maize with 98.47% training accuracy and 93.47% validation accuracy
Artificial intelligence-powered expert system model for identifying fall armyworm infestation in maize (Zea mays L.)
Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the most saleable cereal crops grown worldwide and a dominant staple food in many developing countries. The severe outbreak of fall armyworm in maize causes massive yield loss. Modern technologies, including smartphones, can assist in detecting recognising the fall armyworm infestation in maize. The objective of this study was to develop an automated Artificial Intelligence Powered Expert System (AIPES) for identifying fall armyworm infestation in maize. In addition, it put forward a deep learning-based model that is trained on photographs of healthy and fall armyworm infested leaves, cobs and tassels from a dataset and furnished an application that will be detecting maize fall armyworm infestation using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture and Mobile Net V 2 framework model. The study developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based maize fall armyworm infestation detection system using a DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network) to support maize cultivating farmers. The model executed the objective by accurately identifying the fall armyworm infested maize plant and also classified them vis-c-vis the healthier crop. The deep learning models were trained to detect and recognise fall armyworm infection using more than 11000 images of fall armyworm infested leaves, cobs, and tassels. The created application (AIPES for identifying fall armyworm infestation in maize) using CNN detected and recognised the fall armyworm infestation in maize with a 100 per cent training accuracy rate and 87 per cent validation accuracy. So, the detection of maize fall armyworm and the treatment of fall armyworm-infested maize could lead to a higher maize crop yield.     Â
Measurement of the 20 and 90 keV resonances in the N reaction via THM
The reaction is of primary importance in
several astrophysical scenarios, including fluorine nucleosynthesis inside AGB
stars as well as oxygen and nitrogen isotopic ratios in meteorite grains. Thus
the indirect measurement of the low energy region of the reaction has been performed to reduce the nuclear
uncertainty on theoretical predictions. In particular the strength of the 20
and 90 keV resonances have been deduced and the change in the reaction rate
evaluated.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR
Dissipative electro-elastic network model of protein electrostatics
We propose a dissipative electro-elastic network model (DENM) to describe the
dynamics and statistics of electrostatic fluctuations at active sites of
proteins. The model combines the harmonic network of residue beads with
overdamped dynamics of the normal modes of the network characterized by two
friction coefficients. The electrostatic component is introduced to the model
through atomic charges of the protein force field. The overall effect of the
electrostatic fluctuations of the network is recorded through the
frequency-dependent response functions of the electrostatic potential and
electric field at the active site. We also consider the dynamics of
displacements of individual residues in the network and the dynamics of
distances between pairs of residues. The model is tested against loss spectra
of residue displacements and the electrostatic potential and electric field at
the heme's iron from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of three hydrated
globular proteins
Fermi surface in BaNiP
We report measurements of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation and a
band structure calculation for the pnictide superconductor BaNiP, which
is isostructural to BaFeAs, the mother compound of the iron-pnictide
high- superconductor (BaK)FeAs. Six dHvA-frequency
branches with frequencies up to 8 kT were observed, and they are in
excellent agreement with results of the band-structure calculation. The
determined Fermi surface is large, enclosing about one electron and hole per
formula unit, and three-dimensional. This is in contrast to the small
two-dimensional Fermi surface expected for the iron-pnictide high-
superconductors. The mass enhancement is about two.Comment: To appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn., Vol. 78, No.
