Crowd Monitoring by Video Surveillance System Through Real-Time Object Detection and Tracking Using AI Techniques
type: item
description: Real-time video surveillance is an essential component of the modern security system, particularly in the context of monitoring public areas, particularly in densely populated areas such as airports, train stations, and urban junctions. Occlusion, quick movement, and high item density are some of the issues that traditional surveillance systems face when accurately detecting and effectively monitoring objects. YOLO, which stands for "You Only Look Once," is a framework that includes DeepSORT, which stands for "Simple Online and Realtime Tracking with a Deep Association Metric," for effective object tracking. This framework is proposed in this study as a robust multi-object identification and tracking system. By utilizing appearance traits and Kalman filtering, YOLO guarantees that objects are localized and classified quickly and accurately, whereas DeepSORT ensures that identification is maintained consistently between frames. Under various lighting and crowd density situations, the combined model was implemented and tested on video feeds captured from the real world. Given that the system can handle occlusions and re-identify lost targets with high accuracy, low latency, and resilience, as demonstrated by the results of the experiments, it is a feasible option for applications that include intelligent surveillance. When applied in dynamic and complex public contexts, this technique dramatically improves situational awareness and assists proactive security management.

Characterisation of Ginger Drying Practices In Humid Tropical Regions and Proposal for Suitable Equipment
type: item
description: The main objective of this study was to propose suitable equipment for drying in humid tropical regions. Following the design and distribution of two online survey forms via Google Forms one for producers and the other for consumers a total of 547 completed forms were collected. The main findings showed that, in terms of growing areas, all ten regions of Cameroon are suitable for growing this plant, with the Littoral Region leading the way (15.70%), followed by the Central Region (14.40%), the West Region (13.10%), the North-West Region (11.50%) and the Adamaoua Region (10.20%). It also emerged that three main varieties are cultivated: white ginger (58.15%), black ginger (28.43%) and turmeric (11.82%). With regard to preservation methods, indirect solar drying was found to be the most widely used technique (67.40%) and the most recommended (96.50%), ahead of traditional drying. Furthermore, we have designed a PV/T solar dryer for fruit and vegetables. The design was carried out using the functional analysis method, which enabled us to identify the problem and define the functions to be fulfilled. The technological solutions were derived from the functional analysis of requirements and resulted in a hybrid PV/T solar dryer. The proposed dryer consists of two units: a drying chamber with a volume of 0.35 m³, in which air circulation is provided by two (02) continuous fans operating at 1.2 m/s, and a PV/T collector comprising a 150 Wp solar PV panel, coupled with climate data from Ngaoundéré.

RE-FusionNet: A Resource-Efficient Multi-Task Network for Joint Traffic Element Detection and State Recognition
type: item
description: Autonomous driving is dependent upon reliable perception of traffic elements including traffic lights and traffic signs in order to ensure both safety and efficiency in making decisions. However, latest computer vision-based approaches treat object detection and semantic state recognition as either separate tasks, or they utilize expensive, hardware-dependent sensor technology to continuously feed in video data that can greatly increase the processing cost and limit deployments in resource-limited environments. This problem has been addressed through the development of Re-FusionNet; a lightweight, attention-enhanced convolutional architecture designed to perform both joint traffic light and traffic sign detection along with semantic state recognition utilizing only RGB image data. The Re-FusionNet utilizes a dual-path fusion encoder (DPFE), differential attention module (DAM), along with a compact convolutional backbone to enable contextual feature representation to be enhanced and to focus on relevant traffic-related objects. In addition to its ability to process images sequentially by only sampling a few frames from a video stream rather than continuously feeding it into the network, it enables efficient capture of contextual information. Finally, all three tasks are performed simultaneously via a single multi-task prediction head that predicts both object location and state, allowing for joint training. Results demonstrate that the Re-FusionNet achieves an average precision (mAP) of 97.3% @ 0.5 IoU on the BDD100K dataset while achieving a state recognition accuracy of 90.0%, and an mAP of 94.2% @ 0.5 IoU on the LISA dataset. Moreover, due to the low computational requirements, it can achieve frame rates above 150 fps. Overall, results clearly show that the Re-FusionNet represents an efficient and deployable method for real-time traffic perception applications within autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems.

Review of Query Optimization Techniques in Database Management Systems
type: item
description: In database management systems (DBMSs), query optimization is a frequent practice. Its primary goal is to maximize query execution efficiency among many possibilities. In recent years, the world of data-driven applications has grown rapidly, and effective query processing is an essential element of high-performance systems and efficient resource use in cloud computing environments. In this paper, the authors review key query optimization strategies used in state-of-the-art DBMSs. These include heuristic-based optimization, cost-based optimization, semantic-based optimization for both join and indexing strategies and sub-query rewriting methods. The study contextually explores new AI/ML-based optimization techniques that contribute towards enhancing adaptive query execution and automated tuning in the dynamic environment. Apart from this, the paper also discusses the role of query execution plans, cost models and optimization frameworks and how they can improve the performance of databases in enterprise systems, databases in a distributed environment of the cloud and big data analytics platforms. Using a systematic literature review of recent relevant studies, researchers identify current progress and challenges in query optimization alongside possible future research directions. The paper shows that in the context of many complex (possibly correlated) workloads, modern database systems need some degree of intelligent/elastic behaviour to operate with bounded latency and resource consumption.

Comparative Study on Air Pollution Prediction using Machine Learning Techniques
type: item
description: The Air Quality Index (AQI) measures how air pollution affects human health. As pollution levels rise in Indian cities, we need reliable prediction models for better environmental management. This paper analyses different machine learning techniques for predicting AQI. We use Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest Regression (RFR), and CatBoost Regression (CR) on data from New Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Hyderabad. We evaluate model performance using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and accuracy. Experimental results show that RFR performs best in most cities, while CR is most effective in New Delhi. To tackle dataset imbalance, we use the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), which improves prediction accuracy for all models. Additionally, we assess other models, including SARIMA, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for Ahmedabad. Among these, SVM with a radial basis function (RBF) kernel shows the best results. The findings emphasize how combining data balancing methods with machine learning models can improve AQI prediction. This approach can help with pollution control strategies and better decision-making.

Safety-by-Design Approach for Preventing Falls and Formwork Collapse in Construction
type: item
description: Construction sites remain highly prone to accidents, with falls from heights and formwork collapses being main causes of fatalities worldwide. Traditional safety practices emphasize worker training and hazard mitigation; however, the Safety-by-Design (SbD) approach shifts the focus toward eliminating risks at the design stage itself. This study explores the role of SbD in addressing fall hazards and formwork failures through a comprehensive review of existing literature. Evidence indicates that a significant proportion of construction accidents are linked to design-related factors, highlighting the critical responsibility of designers in improving safety outcomes. SbD promotes the integration of safety considerations into planning, material selection, and structural design, including provisions such as guardrails, scaffolding systems, and stable formwork structures. The approach not only reduces accidents and associated costs but also enhances productivity and fosters a proactive safety culture. Despite its potential, challenges remain in implementation, particularly in developing countries, necessitating further research and strategic adoption frameworks.

Clustering and Classification Techniques in Machine Learning-based Intrusion Detection Systems: A Review
type: item
description: The rapid proliferation of networked digital systems has substantially expanded the threat landscape for cyber intrusions, necessitating robust and adaptive security mechanisms. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) constitute a critical component of network security infrastructure by identifying unauthorized access attempts and malicious behavior in real time. Traditional signature-based detection techniques, while effective against known threats, exhibit notable limitations in identifying novel and polymorphic attack patterns. This limitation has driven extensive research into machine learning (ML)-based IDS frameworks that leverage statistical and structural properties of network traffic for automated threat detection. Among ML paradigms, clustering and classification methods have emerged as particularly effective strategies. Classification algorithms employ supervised learning to discriminate between normal and attack traffic based on labeled training data, while clustering techniques utilize unsupervised learning to discover anomalous groupings in unlabeled network data. This paper presents a systematic and comprehensive review of clustering and classification techniques applied in ML-based IDS, examining foundational algorithms including Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, K-Means, and Hierarchical Clustering. The study further analyzes widely adopted benchmark datasets, evaluates performance metrics, and discusses current research challenges. Identified gaps include the handling of high-dimensional feature spaces, computational constraints in IoT environments, and the development of lightweight hybrid detection models. Directions for future research are outlined to guide the design of more intelligent, scalable, and efficient intrusion detection frameworks.

Fake News Generation and Detection: Adversarial use of Generative AI in Text Synthesis
type: item
description: The extensive growth of online media platforms, as well as the extensive use of generative artificial intelligence, has made the production and distribution of fake news particularly more active. Models of languages and vision have now been advanced to create a high level of reality in text, images and videos that become even harder to detect any misinformation by means of the old standard verification channels. The paper is a detailed analysis of fake news and its main premises, the core issues, and the role of generative AI in the development and detection of fake news that keeps changing. The paper examines uni-modal deepfake detection models in text, image and video modalities, and cross-modal consistency analysis, which utilizes semantic consistency between heterogeneous data. In addition, the study contrasts traditional machine learning approaches with more modern ones, detailing the benefits and downsides of each, as well as their suitability for large-scale and multilingual tasks. A number of popular benchmark datasets are presented to give an idea of the experimental evaluation practice. Additionally, stability metrics such as recall (REC), accuracy (ACC), precision (PRE), F1-score (F1), and ROC-AUC are assessed to ascertain the efficacy of detection. Find that deep learning models are more generalizable and perform better overall, but they are still vulnerable to adversarial manipulation and new generative methods.

Typology of Housing and Household Energy Behaviors in Cameroon: Diagnosis for better Energy Efficiency
type: item
description: This research analyzes the determinants of domestic energy efficiency in Cameroon through a quantitative study of 333 households in Douala, Yaoundé, and Ngaoundéré. Using Chi-square χ^2independence tests, the study explores correlations between sociodemographic factors, housing characteristics, and installed energy capacity. Key Results include: Material Inertia: A strong geographical dependence exists between cities and construction materials p < 0.001. Adobe bricks with cement mortar, dominant in Ngaoundéré, offer under-exploited thermal efficiency potential compared to the cement-dominated metropolitan areas of Douala and Yaoundé. Generational Transition: Refrigeration equipment follows a life cycle, with a critical acquisition phase between ages 25 and 35, identifying this as the pivot segment for introducing high-performance technologies. The Performance Paradox: Analysis demonstrates that physical size and equipment type are not reliable indicators of installed power. Only the Energy Class (A+, A++) allows for a real and significant reduction in power demand < 50 kW. Information Deficit: A major obstacle was identified: 69% of users are unaware of their appliance's energy class, a technical ignorance that increases with the surface area of the dwelling.

Typologie of housing and household Energy behaviors in Cameroon : diagnosis for better Energy efficiency.
type: item
description: This research analyzes the determinants of domestic energy efficiency in Cameroon through a quantitative study of 333 households in Douala, Yaoundé, and Ngaoundéré. Using Chi-square independence tests, the study explores correlations between sociodemographic factors, housing characteristics, and installed energy capacity. Key Results include:Material Inertia: A strong geographical dependence exists between cities and construction materials p < 0.001. Adobe bricks with cement mortar, dominant in Ngaoundéré, offer under-exploited thermal efficiency potential compared to the cement-dominated metropolitan areas of Douala and Yaoundé.Generational Transition: Refrigeration equipment follows a life cycle, with a critical acquisition phase between ages 25 and 35, identifying this as the pivot segment for introducing high-performance technologies.The Performance Paradox: Analysis demonstrates that physical size and equipment type are not reliable indicators of installed power. Only the Energy Class (A+, A++) allows for a real and significant reduction in power demand < 50 kW.Information Deficit: A major obstacle was identified: 69% of users are unaware of their appliance's energy class, a technical ignorance that increases with the surface area of the dwelling.<!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_…

Design and Modification of Thermoelectric Tube using Different Materials
type: item
description: By using thermoelectric generators it is possible to develop independent electric energy source in burning and heating systems – in households and industrial heating. With this energy source it is possible to provide with electricity systems appliances, lightening and other consumers. Potential placements for generators are on furnace walls, on flue way walls, on flue pipe walls after furnace. Generators can improve efficiency of combustion, because there is amount of waste heat that leaves through flue pipe in burning process. There are no boundaries for combining elements in system as just the space for their placement. As more elements are linked in chain, as much electric energy is produced. This is one of methods to develop a cogeneration process in domestic boiler house or industrial heating, or burning systems. In research thermoelectric element current, voltage, power and efficiency are defined in different temperature differences.

Water as a Refrigerant for Heat Pump Technology: A Review
type: item
description: Even though water (R718) is one of the oldest refrigerants, it is very difficult to use it in compression refrigeration cycle due to its low molecular mass, high boiling point, low specific cooling capacity and a relatively higher value of kinematic viscosity. This paper gives us a glimpse about one of the technique which can be used to use water in compression cycle and also compares its theoretical analysis with the conventional refrigerants already being used. This paper can study the effect on various parameters under similar operation conditions for the comparative study of water and other refrigerants.

A Review on Cryogenic Grinding
type: item
description: The paper aims in improvisation of the grinding process for elastic materials like rubber, plastic, composites, metals, waxes etc. Nowadays, we find a lot of wastage of these materials. Some of them like plastic, artificial rubber composites are very much harmful for our environment. This research will basically help in cautious use of the above mentioned pollutants. For example, Thermoplastics are difficult to grind small sized particle at ambient temperature because they are soften adhere in lumpy masses and clog screens. In cryogenic grinding when thermoplastic is chilled by dry ice, liquid carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen they can be finally grounded to powder suitable for electrostatic spraying and other powder processes. Advantages of these processes are to increase productivity through optimized particle size, elimination of caking product within the mill, increases protection from the fire and product oxidation due to inert milling atmosphere..

Cryogenic system for High Temperature Superconducting Power Cable-A Review
type: item
description: Materials which shows superconductivity above liquid nitrogen temperature are known as high temperature superconductors. J.G. Bednorz and K.A. Mueller were awarded noble prize for discovering high temperature superconductors in 1987. Since last 3 decades there has been significant augmentation in the field of superconductivity. The primary advantage of HTS power cable over conventional cable is the ability to carry more power per circuit with lower energy cost per megawatt delivered. Power transmission is loosely defined as the transfer of electrical energy from source to a load over conductors that carry relatively large currents, while being maintained at large voltage. In order to achieve liquid nitrogen temperature, efficient cryogenic system is required. Hence, it is integrated with HTS power cables. Several HTS cables have been designed, developed and operated in various parts around the world. Most of them are used for experimentation purpose. Very few of them are used in electrical grids. Use of high temperature superconductivity in electrical grids will have a major positive impact on power system operation and control. HTS power cable is placed into heat-insulated pipe which is filled with cryogen. Circulation of cryogen removes heat seeping through the insulation. HTS power cables with different design considerations can be used for transmission of AC and DC.

Review on Effective Utilization of Electric Energy for Water Heating by Water Changing Property
type: item
description: Electricity is major parameter in our life which having wide application. By survey we use maximum electric energy for comfort life. In during various application of domestic we use hot water. To heat a water use various equipment which based on electric energy. In this experiment pH of water will be changes by using natural resources by observe what will be effect on heating purpose. Energy important and major source use in industries as well as Domestic purposes. This project will give one idea about how will improve efficiency and to save energy of heating coil which are used in industry and domestic for to heat water. We know that now days we concentrated on to saving energy because one day all natural energy sources will be end. So now we concentrate on saving energy in any field and to utilize energy so it span time will increase. In America they are used shell gases which are new technique but one day it will be vanish. If we survey in world there are so many energy required to produce electricity and every person used electric energy so we need highest energy efficiency equipment. In boiler there is convention and non -convention method also some time we used coal but with considering time is money so they change input from coal to electric energy. This experiment we get best utilization of nature resource for to save energy. There will be getting best method to reduce electric energy so whenever coil or electric furnace boiler used there will be water treated process will conduct. There is hypothesis is if change in pH of water due to that electricity required to heat water is also vary.

Review on Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Plate Fin Type Heat Exchanger by Different Shapes of Fins
type: item
description: Heat transfer enhancement techniques as passive, active or a combination of passive and active methods are commonly used in areas such as process industries, heating and cooling in evaporators, thermal power plants, air- conditioning equipment, refrigerators, radiators for space vehicles, automobiles (in tracked vehicle it plays very important roll), etc. Passive techniques, where inserts, extended surfaces like fins of various shapes and sizes are used in the flow passage to enhance the heat transfer rate, are benefited compared with active techniques, because the insert manufacturing process is easier and it can be easily applied in an existing heat exchanger. In design of compact heat exchangers, passive techniques can play an important role if a proper passive configuration/combinations can be selected according to the heat exchanger working condition (both flow and heat transfer conditions). Ribs, fins, dimples, Vortices etc., are the most commonly passive heat transfer enhancement devices. In this paper, major emphasis is given to work with different shapes of fins, and their arrangement because, these are found effective heat transfer enhancement tools.

Performance investigation of centrifugal pump by varying blade angles of the Impeller–A Review
type: item
description: Centrifugal pumps are probably among the most often used machinery in industrial facilities as well as in common life. Centrifugal pump is widely used as a universal machine, so improving hydrodynamic performances of the centrifugal pump is important for energy saving. With the development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical simulation has become the main method for performance prediction and structure design of the pump. The impeller is the most important part in a centrifugal pump since it is the place where the mechanical energy is converted into hydraulic energy. Hence the parameters related to the impeller are directly affecting the performance of the pump. One of them is the blade exit angle; if it is not correctly designed, it can negatively affect the head and the hydraulic efficiency of the pump. The previous research suggests that a larger blade angle is suitable. Also, exit blades angle variation contributes more in the performance.
