    Star Classification: A Deep Learning Approach for Identifying Binary and Exoplanet Stars

    Full text link
    We present a novel approach for classifying stars as binary or exoplanet using deep learning techniques. Our method utilizes feature extraction, wavelet transformation, and a neural network on the light curves of stars to achieve high-accuracy results. We have also compiled a dataset of binary and exoplanet stars for training and validation by cross-matching observations from multiple space-based telescopes with catalogs of known binary and exoplanet stars. The application of wavelet transformation on the light curves has reduced the number of data points and improved the training time. Our algorithm has shown exceptional performance, with a test accuracy of 81.17%. This method can be applied to large datasets from current and future space-based telescopes, providing an efficient and accurate way of classifying stars.Comment: In Review: MNRA

    A review on common Ayurvedic herbs as adjuvant therapy in Osteoporosis for Children

    Osteoporosis is a phenomenon where weaken and porous bones are formed by decreasing the bone density. Decreased bone mass increases the risk of bone and joint related disorder which is most frequent health illness among the women, old aged peoples as well as paediatric population. The osteoporosis in children is not directly mentioned in Ayurveda but general principle of management is usually followed for children. Further Acharya Charak has mentioned about the general principles for the treatment of diseases in children and advised the use of Herbs with sweet taste (Madhur Rasa), Tasty, Palatable and Good smelling medicines with milk in small doses. He says that diseases of adults, also affect the children as Dosha and Dushya are the same and hence their treatment and herbs should be similar with certain modification in dosage. Asthi Kshaya and Asthi Saushariya are the two conditions explained in Ayurveda for decrease in bone tissue and later as porous bones which allies with the modern condition like osteoporosis in which the bones become porous, brittle and weak. It is bone health is been directly depended upon Vataja Dosha health status as well as Dhatu Poshan (Nutrition of tisssues). The line of treatment adopted mainly is always a holistic, multidimensional, balancing three doshas, improving Agni (metabolism) and functioning and cleaning of Srotas (channels) and also with specific herbs which work directly on Asthi Dhatu (Bone) like Asthi Shrinkala.  Principle of treatment adopted is always by Shaman Aushadhis (pacifying herbs and formulations) and Shodhana (bio-purification) by Pancharkarma. Thus, it prevents Asthi Dhatu Kshaya (loss) and strengthens the Asthi Dhatu – bone tissues. All these drugs are easily available, simple for administration and devoid of any adverse reactions. This article will be useful for food and drug companies to produce safe herbal products for children

    Overview of Renewable Energy System Architecture and Performance

    Get PDF
    Global interest in solar energy has peaked as governments and organizations continue to take a stand against the dependence on fossil fuels and the high carbon footprint of the industrialized world. Using renewable energy technologies such as solar energy appears to be a good option, especially for third world countries that receive large amounts of solar radiation all year round. This article provides an overview of the architecture of renewable energy systems and the solar and photovoltaic (PV) energy system. It also provides a description of the system connected to the grid and the autonomous PV production system

    Thermal Hall conductivity near field-suppressed magnetic order in a Kitaev-Heisenberg model

    Full text link
    We investigate thermal Hall conductivity κxy\kappa_{xy} of a JJ-KK Kitaev-Heisenberg model and a Zeeman field in the (111)(111) direction in the light of the recent debate surrounding the possible re-emergence of Ising topological order (ITO) and half-quantized κxy/T\kappa_{xy}/T upon field-suppression of long-range magnetic order in Kitaev materials. We use the purification-based finite temperature Tensor Network approach making no prior assumptions about the nature of the excitations: Majorana, visons or spin waves. For purely Kitaev interactions and fields h/K≳0.02h/K \gtrsim 0.02 sufficient to degrade ITO, the peak κxy/T\kappa_{xy}/T monotonously decreases from half-quantization associated with lower fields - a behavior physically consistent with vison fluctuation corrections and qualitatively different from spin wave treatments. In the JJ-KK model (ferro-KK and antiferro-JJ) in the vicinity of field-suppressed magnetic order, we found κxy/T\kappa_{xy}/T to be significant, with peak magnitudes exceeding half-quantization followed by a decrease with increasing h.h. We thus conclude that half-quantized thermal Hall effect, if observed in the vicinity of field suppressed magnetic order in our model, is a fine-tuning effect and is not associated with a Majorana Hall state with ITO.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure

    Reviving the Urban Core: Ludhiana City, Punjab, India

    Get PDF
    The urban cores are considered as the most crucial clusters of the contemporary urban cities as they are the foremost economic growth poles that cater to the needs of the city population. These clusters are facing urban development issues like congestion, longer travel distances and time, pollution, etc., hence, transforming into a non-livable environment. Smart development has been identified as a world-wide solution to the existing urban development issues which focuses on promoting a sustainable and livable environment with the integration of ICT; acts as an implementation tool. Ludhiana; regarded as the Manchester of India, is the most industrialized city of the northern India. The city has a strong economic base due to the presence of commercial hub and small and large manufacturing industries which have acted as a catalyst for rapid urbanization. The city has witnessed immense population growth over the last 5 decades which has led to issues such as pollution, environment degradation,, emergence of slums and failure of physical and social infrastructure; thus failing to be a livable city. The paper intends to identify the urban development issues in Ludhiana city core and provide appropriate strategies based on the Smart Development principles
