    AI In ADR: An Analysis

    John McCarthy in the year 1956 has cast the word Artificial Intelligence (AI). He defined AI as "making a machine behave in ways that would be called intelligent if a human were so behaving". Procedures for online dispute resolution (hence referred to as ODR) are similar to those for alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in person, with the exception that ODR makes use of information and communication technology, and the process may be completed wholly or in part online. In the Internet age of today, where disputing parties may be located thousands of miles apart, online conflict resolution will be helpful. The parties' cost of the dispute would be reduced thanks to ODR. It would be very advantageous for consumers and small businesses, both online and offline. Because ODR procedures can be conducted whenever it is convenient for the parties, they may prove to be even more effective than traditional ADR procedures. According to academics, four parties must participate for an ADR process to be deemed ODR. The claimant, responder, neutral party, and technology-based middleman are the parties[1]. In a variety of situations, issues relating to the transactions are resolved online in a global setting using a variety of ADR techniques (Online Dispute Resolution). ADR processes that are changing have a lot to do with dynamic technologies. Technology has the ability to support and facilitate the operation of a variety of conflict resolution procedures

    The objective of the present study was to develop and evaluate an oral pulsatile drug delivery system to mimic the circadian rhythm of the disease by releasing the drug with a distinct predetermined lag time of 6 h (± 0.25 h). The basic design of the system consisted of a rapid release tableted core and a controlled release tableted coat. A combination of Isopropyl Alcohol (70%) and Acetone (30%) was used as solvent for Eudragit S100 coating. An in vitro dissolution study of the prepared tablet was conducted initially for 2 h in simulated gastric fluid and after that medium was changed to intestinal fluid pH 7.4.Keywords: Pulsatile drug delivery system, Lag time, Circadian rhythm, Eudragit S100

    As a result of technological advancements, today man is completely dependent on the internet for all of his requirements. The internet has a power to allowed man to have everything while seated in one location, such as social networking, online purchasing, online education, and online employment, among other things. Cybercrime, which includes everything from electronic theft to denial-of-service attacks, is a broad term used to describe criminal activities in which computers or computer networks are a tool, a target, or a location. Cybercrime is distinct from other types of crime that take place in society. The reason is because it has no geographical limits and that no one knows who the cybercriminals are

    Pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by using an efficient, facile and solvent-free procedure. Here, a non-conventional synthetic procedure has been developed where solid support of alumina is used as energy transfer medium under microwave irradiation (MWI) which devoids hazards of solution phase reactions. The reaction time has been brought down from minutes to seconds with improved yield as compared to reported method.Похідні піримідо[4,5-d]піримідину синтезовано за допомогою простого й ефективного методу без застосування розчинника. Розроблено нетрадиційний спосіб синтезу, за якого нерухому підкладку із оксиду алюмінію використано як середовище для передачі енергії при мікрохвильовому випромінюванні, що запобігає негативним ефектам, які обумовлюють реакції у фазі розчинника. Новий метод дає змогу скоротити час реакції від декількох хвилин до кількох секунд і покращити її вихід

    Survey Paper of Approaches for Real Time Fire Detection

    Accidental fire always causes great loss. If that fire is detected in time, then loss can be minimized. Hence there should be more efficient systems to avoid losses. Most of the fire detection systems are based on sensors. These sensors give false alarms in case of cigarette or essence sticks are burnt and these systems are also quite costly. By using fire detection system through video surveillance cameras the cost of system can be reduced. The videos achieved by popular surveillance cameras are analysed and different topologies of information, respectively based on colour and movement are united into a multi expert system in order to increase the overall accuracy of the approach, making it possible its usage in real time applications. The systems use HSV, HSL, YUV models. In these systems, the models are based on colour, motion and shape. The approaches have been tested on a wide database with the aim of assessing its performance both in terms of sensitivity and specificity

    Globally, songs and instrumental melodies are slower, higher, and use more stable pitches than speech: a registered report

    Get PDF
    Both music and language are found in all known human societies, yet no studies have compared similarities and differences between song, speech, and instrumental music on a global scale. In this Registered Report, we analyzed two global datasets: (i) 300 annotated audio recordings representing matched sets of traditional songs, recited lyrics, conversational speech, and instrumental melodies from our 75 coauthors speaking 55 languages; and (ii) 418 previously published adult-directed song and speech recordings from 209 individuals speaking 16 languages. Of our six preregistered predictions, five were strongly supported: Relative to speech, songs use (i) higher pitch, (ii) slower temporal rate, and (iii) more stable pitches, while both songs and speech used similar (iv) pitch interval size and (v) timbral brightness. Exploratory analyses suggest that features vary along a “musi-linguistic” continuum when including instrumental melodies and recited lyrics. Our study provides strong empirical evidence of cross-cultural regularities in music and speech
