The first 100 words appear below: A 10-year old boy, the only issue of his deceased parents, was admitted to the department for the management of recurrent episodes of diarrhea and severe wasting for 2.5 months, low grade, irregular fever with evening rise of temperature, anorexia and repeated attack of skin blister for the last 1 year. The patient complained of chronic, painless, non-bloody, profuse watery diarrhea with a weight loss of 10 kg (decrease to 18 kg from 28 kg prior to illness). He also complained of cough for the last seven days. His father was a driver and died at his 1 year of age due to an unknown disease

BenLLMEval: A Comprehensive Evaluation into the Potentials and Pitfalls of Large Language Models on Bengali NLP

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as one of the most important breakthroughs in natural language processing (NLP) for their impressive skills in language generation and other language-specific tasks. Though LLMs have been evaluated in various tasks, mostly in English, they have not yet undergone thorough evaluation in under-resourced languages such as Bengali (Bangla). In this paper, we evaluate the performance of LLMs for the low-resourced Bangla language. We select various important and diverse Bangla NLP tasks, such as abstractive summarization, question answering, paraphrasing, natural language inference, text classification, and sentiment analysis for zero-shot evaluation with ChatGPT, LLaMA-2, and Claude-2 and compare the performance with state-of-the-art fine-tuned models. Our experimental results demonstrate an inferior performance of LLMs for different Bangla NLP tasks, calling for further effort to develop better understanding of LLMs in low-resource languages like Bangla.Comment: First two authors contributed equall

Adaptive interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller for autonomous mobile robot

A Type-2 Fuzzy logic controller adapted with genetic algorithm, called type-2 genetic fuzzy logic controller (T2GFLC), is presented in this paper to handle uncertainty with dynamic optimal learning. Genetic algorithm is employed to simultaneous design of type-2 membership functions and rule sets for type-2 fuzzy logic controllers. Traditional fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs), often termed as type-1 fuzzy logic systems using type-1 fuzzy sets, cannot handle large amount of uncertainties present in many real environments. Therefore, recently type-2 FLC has been proposed. The type-2 FLC can be considered as a collection of different embedded type-1 FLCs. However, the current design process of type-2 FLC is not automatic and relies on human experts. The purpose of our study is to make the design process automatic. Moreover, to reduce the computation time of T2GFLC an efficient type-reduction strategy for interval type-2 fuzzy set is also introduced. The evolved type-2 FLCs can deal with large amount of uncertainties and exhibit better performance for the mobile robot. Furthermore, it has outperformed their type-1 counterparts as well as the adaptive type-1 FLCs

(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)chlorido(2-hy­droxy-2,2-diphenyl­acetato-κ2 O 1,O 1′)copper(II)

The Cu(II) atom in the title complex, [Cu(C14H11O3)Cl(C10H8N2)], exists within a ClN2O2 donor set defined by a chloride ion, an asymmetrically chelating carboxyl­ate ligand, and a symmetrically chelating 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecule. The coordination geometry is square pyramidal with the axial site occupied by the O atom forming the weaker Cu—O inter­action. The hy­droxy group forms an intra­molecular hydrogen bond with the axial O atom, as well as an inter­molecular O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. The latter leads to the formation of [100] supra­molecular chains in the crystal, with the Cu(II) atoms lying in a line

A Review on Chemical Synthesis Process of Platinum Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles are key components in the advancement of future energy technologies; thus, strategies for preparing nanoparticles in large volume by techniques that are cost-effective are required. In the substitution of fossil-fuels by renewable energy resources, nanometersized particles play a key role for synthesizing energy vectors from varying and heterogeneous biomass feedstocks. They are extensively used in reformers for the production of hydrogen from solid, liquid, or gaseous energy carriers. Catalyst activities depend critically on their size-dependent properties. Nanoparticles are further indispensable as electrocatalysts in fuel cells and other electrochemical converters. The desire to increase the activity per unit area, and decrease the necessary amount of the expensive catalytic standard, It is clear that performance and commercialization of fuel cells depend on electrode materials performance. The application of pt  nanomaterials as an electrode in the field of fuel cell  has become a new, growing area of interest in recent years. We review chemical process for synthesis of pt nanoparticles. Recent developments in syntheses process of pure & mixed platinum nanoparticles has briefly reviewed specifically for applications in fuel cells.
