Abstract

AI and Machine Learning are crucial in advancing technology, especially for processing large, complex datasets. The transformer model, a primary approach in natural language processing (NLP), enables applications like translation, text summarization, and question-answer (QA) systems. This study compares two popular transformer models, FlanT5 and mT5, which are widely used yet often struggle to capture the specific context of the reference text. Using a unique Goddess Durga QA dataset with specialized cultural knowledge about Indonesia, this research tests how effectively each model can handle culturally specific QA tasks. The study involved data preparation, initial model training, ROUGE metric evaluation (ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, ROUGE-L, and ROUGE-Lsum), and result analysis. Findings show that FlanT5 outperforms mT5 on multiple metrics, making it better at preserving cultural context. These results are impactful for NLP applications that rely on cultural insight, such as cultural preservation QA systems and context-based educational platforms.

Abstract

Choosing the right university major is an important decision for students, as delays or incorrect choices can harm their future careers and cause problems for academic departments. High dropout rates, which are frequently the result of poorly informed decisions, can be a considerable burden on faculty. This project aims to address these challenges by creating a recommendation system that provides individualized counsel to students based on their psychological profiles. A quantitative method was used, with questionnaires distributed to a large number of students. To verify the data's authenticity, replies were sought from students who were pleased with their selected majors rather than those who regretted their choices. The collected data formed the basis for a hybrid recommendation system that integrated Content-based Filtering and Collaborative Filtering methods. The system was then compared against standalone implementations of each filtering method to determine its usefulness in increasing suggestion accuracy. The results showed that the Hybrid Filtering strategy obtained a recommendation accuracy of 84.29%, outperforming Content-based  Filtering at 81.43% and Collaborative Filtering at 78.57%. The proposed model is easy to implement in a school or a university, as long as the required data is available. Thus, the model can help a school or university to reduce dropout rates and boost academic outcomes.

Abstract

In power system to optimized PMUs is a critical task to ensure maximum network observability while minimizing installation costs. This study presents a comparative analysis of three optimization techniques: Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and a hybrid TLBO-PSO approach, focusing on their efficiency in determining the best PMU placements. Individual methods, such as TLBO and PSO, are often limited by longer computation times and the requirement for a higher number of PMUs to achieve full observability. In contrast, the hybrid TLBO-PSO method demonstrates significant improvements, consistently delivering solutions with fewer PMUs, faster computation times, and higher placement accuracy. By evaluating performance of these techniques on IEEE 14bus, 30bus and 57 bus systems through simulations conducted over 100 iterations for each method in every test case. The results highlight the hybrid approach's superior efficiency compared to individual methods. Furthermore, comparisons with prior research confirm that the hybrid TLBO-PSO approach is a robust and reliable solution for minimizing PMU installations while ensuring complete system observability.

This study investigates real-world emissions from diesel-powered passenger cars under mixed traffic conditions, focusing on compliance with Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) standards. Using Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS), emission factors for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), and the combined mass of Hydrocarbons and Oxides of Nitrogen (THC + NOx) were measured. Results revealed exceedances of 75%, 103.75%, and 40.59% for CO, NOx, and THC + NOx, respectively, underscoring inefficiencies in emission control technologies. Variability in emissions was linked to vehicle age, maintenance, driving behaviors, and challenging road conditions. These findings highlight the critical gap between laboratory-tested and real-world emissions, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations, advanced emission technologies, and public awareness campaigns. The study offers actionable insights for urban air quality improvement and policy development to reduce vehicular pollution.

Abstract

The increasing demand for renewable energy necessitates sustainable alternatives such as biochar briquettes derived from agricultural waste. This study aims to optimize the production process and evaluate the physical, mechanical, and combustion properties of biochar briquettes made from corn residues, rice husks, and coconut shells. The methodology includes biomass carbonization, binder ratio optimization, and systematic testing of key quality parameters such as moisture content, density, ash content, and calorific value. Results indicate that an optimal biomass-to-binder ratio yields a high calorific value (7,192 kcal/kg) and low ash content (3.57%), enhancing combustion efficiency. Maintaining moisture content below 10% enhances ignition and prolongs burning time. These findings highlight biochar briquettes' role in carbon sequestration, biomass conversion, and sustainable waste management, supporting the circular economy and reducing environmental pollution. Biochar briquettes offer a clean, accessible energy solution, contributing to global energy security and climate change mitigation.
