Machine learning is used to classify and mine tweets on multiple levels

Research on sentiment analysis can be found under the discipline of Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is helpful in determining the feelings and meanings that lie beneath the surface of a piece of literature. When attempting to extract sentiments from Twitter data, you face a particularly unique combination of obstacles as a result of the platform's unstructured format, its relatively small size, and the presence of slang, misspellings, and acronyms. The vast majority of researchers analysed the results of multiple sentiment analysis machine learning algorithms and compared their findings. However, merging these methodologies is a topic that has received insufficient attention in the relevant academic literature. According to the findings of this research, mixing many different machine learning algorithms together produces superior outcomes compared to doing it individually. Due to the unprocessed nature of the tweets, this study employs a wide range of preprocessing techniques in order to generate data that can then be used in machine learning classification models. An inquiry into the potential benefits of combining the machine learning algorithms known as KNN and SVM is the primary focus of this work. When making an analytical observation, the classification accuracy and F-measures for each emotion class, as well as the average of those values, are used as inputs. The results of the evaluation show that the proposed hybrid approach is more accurate and has a better F-measure than individual classifiers

Buccal Drug Delivery: Past, Present and Future – A Review

The major hindrance for the absorption of a drug taken orally is extensive first pass metabolism or stability problems within the GI environment like instability in gastric pH and complexation with mucosal membrane. These obstacles can be overcome by altering the route of administration as parenteral, transdermal or trasmucosal. Among these trasmucosal has the advantage of ease of administration, patient compliance and are economic too. The mucosa of the buccal cavity is the most easily accessible transmuocosal site. Buccal transmucosal delivery helps to bypass first- pass metabolism by allowing direct access to the systemic circulation through the internal jugular vein. The buccal transmucosal route has been researched for a wide variety of drugs. Several methodologies have been considered so far, to design and manipulate the release properties towards the invention of buccal mucosal delivery systems. This article aims at reviewing the numerous techniques that has been designed till date for optimizing buccal transmucosal drug delivery.Keywords: complexation; parenteral; transdermal; trasmucosa

Influence of dissipative entry temperature on laminar heat transfer in thermally developing region of a circular pipe with viscous dissipation

Paper presented at the 8th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Mauritius, 11-13 July, 2011.Steady laminar forced convection heat transfer in the thermal entrance region of a circular pipe including viscous dissipation has been studied assuming the flow to be hydrodynamically fully developed and thermally developing. The circular pipe is subjected to constant wall temperature. Two entry temperatures have been considered. 1) A temperature that varies with the radial coordinate obtained in an adiabatic pipe due to viscous dissipation while the flow is hydrodynamically developing. This temperature is termed as the dissipative entry temperature. 2) A uniform temperature equal to the bulk mean value of the dissipative entry temperature. It has been shown that the difference in the Nusselt numbers and heat transfer obtained with these two entry temperatures is insignificant. Thus, the simplicity of classical assumption of uniform entry temperature can be retained when the entry temperature has been chosen as the bulk mean of the dissipative entry temperature.mp201

Investigation of groundwater consumption to cope with the inadequate piped water supply in continuous and intermittent supply systems: A case study in Bangalore, India

[EN] Although the supply of piped water to the Indian cities is increasing, the demand is not always fulfilled. This gap in water demand and supply is usually bridged by using alternate sources of water, mostly groundwater. Bangalore, the capital city of Karnataka, is one of the fastest developing metropolitan cities in India is also facing piped water supply issues. The groundwater is the main source of alternate water supply in the city. In the present study, a District Metered Area (DMA) is selected in the Bangalore South-West division; this DMA has both intermittent and continuous water supply systems. The water distribution network (WDN) of study DMA contains four inlets and three supply zones. The first is a continuous water supply system whereas the second and third are the intermittent systems. The impact of inequitable supply in the study DMA is evaluated and the consumption of groundwater to cope with insufficient water supply is analyzed. The Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient are used to assess the inequity in groundwater extraction under intermittent and continuous supply zones. The data from the field flowmeters, consumer meter reading, and door-to-door questionnaire survey are used for the analysis. The questionnaire survey includes RR number, presence of wells/borewells, horsepower (HP) of the pumps used, building type, the number of inhabitants, and the floors in each building. In the continuous supply system, a questionnaire survey was untaken for 80% of the connections, whereas in the intermittent supply system random sampling was used. The questionnaire survey analysis showed that 53% of the consumers in the continuous supply system rely on piped water supply, whereas others used groundwater as well as piped water supply. The study illustrated the gap in groundwater consumption between supply zones within intermittent water supply systems as well as between intermittent and continuous water supply zones. Reliability on groundwater was high even in continuous supply systems indicating insufficient pressures resulting in unsatisfied demands. The study indicated that just increasing the access to the piped water supply to the consumers is not sufficient, the acceptable quality with adequate pressure of water should be delivered to reduce the use of groundwater. The inferences from the study can be used to regulate groundwater extraction.Priyanka, B.; Bharanidharan, B.; Sheetal Kumar, K.; Mohan Kumar, M.; Srinivas, V.; Nibgoor, SR.; Kishore, Y. (2024).

Improved Non-Isolated Bidirectional DC-DC Converter Assisted with an Active Resonant Network

OP VVV Electrical Engineering Technologies with High-Level of Embedded Intelligence CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/18_069/0009855 and project No. SGS-2021-021This paper proposes a new non-isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter (NI-BDC) with an auxiliary resonant network (ARN) that is typically operated in both boost and buck modes. Regardless the direction of power flow, soft-switching capabilities such as zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) conditions has been obtained under light and heavy loads. This converter avoids the need of coupled inductors as against conventional converters thus reducing the size of the converter and minimizes the device count. The auxiliary resonant network mainly consisting of resonant inductor, capacitor, auxiliary switch and a diode. Furthermore, the zero voltage switching and zero current switching conditions have been achieved in both boost and buck modes that reduces reverse recovery conduction period of the body diodes of all the power switches. The proposed converter operates with soft-switching at constant switching frequency giving continuous inductor current. The detailed operating principles for boost and buck modes are described. The theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented

Effect of Lanthanum Substitution on the Structural, dielectric, Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Properties of Mechanically Activated PZt Electroceramics

Different compositions of (Pb1-xLax) (Zr0.60Ti0.40)O3 (abbreviated as PLZT x/60/40; x=0, 0.07, 0.08 and 0.10) ceramics were prepared by a combinatorial approach by high energy mechano-chemical ball milling and cold isostatic pressing (CIP). X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission as well as scanning electron microscope were used for the micro-structural and morphological studies. The average particle size of PLZT milled powders was measured from the TEM images and was found to be in the nm range.XRD patterns of the sintered PLZT x/60/40 ceramics confirm the perovskite phase formation after heat treatment. SEM of sintered PLZT x/60/40 ceramics show a close packed dense structure. PLZT 8/60/40 ceramics show the fine grains (~1.3 µm) with density ~97 per cent. Dielectric constant and loss were measured as a function of temperature. PLZT 8/60/40 ceramics shows the highest value of room temperature dielectric constant ~2480 at 1 kHz. Ferroelectric studies were done with the help of polarisation (P-E) and strain (S-E) vs. electric field measurements. PLZT 8/60/40 ceramics shows the maximum value of remnant polarisation (~36 µC/cm2) and strain (~0.27 per cent), respectively. PLZT x/60/40 ceramic samples were poled at optimized poling conditions. The measured values of piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33) and electromechanical coupling factor (kp) of PLZT 8/60/40 ceramics were found to be, ~690 pC/N and ~71 per cent, respectively

Numerical Investigation of the Shock Train in a Scramjet with the Effects of Back-Pressure and Divergent Angles

Numerical simulations are carried out to study the effect of divergence angle and adverse pressure gradient on the movement of shock wave train in a scramjet isolator. The commercial software tool ANSYS Fluent 16 was used to simplify two dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equation with compressible fluid flow by considering the density-based solver with standard K-ε turbulence model. The species transport model with single step volumetric reaction mechanism is employed. Initially, the simulated results are validated with experimental results available in open literature. The obtained results show that the variation of the divergence angle and back pressure on the scramjet isolator has greater significance on the flow field. Also, with an increase in the back pressure, due to the intense turbulent combustion, the shock wave train developed should expand along the length and also moves towards the leading edge of the isolator leading to rapid rise in the pressure so that the pressure at the entrance of the isolator can match the enhanced back pressures

Efficiency Improvement Of An Electrical Transformer By Design Development Of FINS

A transformer is an electrical gadget that exchanges electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic affectation. Normally, transformers are utilized to increment or diminish the voltages of exchanging current in electric force applications; a differing current in the transformer's essential winding makes a changing attractive flux in the transformer center and a shifting attractive field impinging on the transformer's auxiliary winding. This fluctuating attractive field at the auxiliary winding affects a shifting electromotive power (EMF) or voltage in the optional winding. Making utilization of Faraday's Law in conjunction with high attractive porousness center properties, transformers can along these lines be intended to proficiently change AC voltages starting with one voltage level then onto  another within power networks.   Copper losses are resistive and proportional to load current and are sometimes called “load losses”, as the transformer is loaded; heat is produced in the primary and secondary windings and connections due to losses. At low loads, the quantity of heat produced will be small but as load increases, the amount of heat produced becomes significant at full load, the windings will be operating at or near their design temperature, Figure shows the relationship between load-current and the heat produced in transformer windings and connections. If the ambient temperature is too high then the transformer will automatically fail to work , even though some coolants are employed in the transformers to carry away the heat, they are not enough during summer seasons so there is a need to develop better cooling systems In this project we develop better cooling system for a transformer using 3D modelling and Finite Element Methods so that the transformers will work without fail. For 3D modelling we use Catia V5 R20 and for finite element analysis we use Ansys 15.
