 Abstract

Aloe vera is a medicinal plant heavily used in the pharmaceutical industry, especially in cosmetics. The aloe plant cultivated in Indonesia to supply this industry is Aloe chinensis Baker. This research aims to determine the effects of Aloe vera gel extract on the effectiveness of sunscreen lotion. The steps included Aloe vera gel extraction, flavonoid absorption test, sun protection factor (SPF) value measurement, pH test, viscosity test, homogeneity test, and organoleptic evaluation. The extract was added to the base sunscreen formulation at five different concentrations. UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 290 - 320 nm was performed on the preparations to determine their SPF values. The highest SPF value of 10.21 was found in the 20% Aloe vera gel extract preparation. This value falls within the national industrial standard for sunscreen SPF value range of 2 - 60. The research showed that a higher Aloe vera gel extract concentration increased the pH, with the most elevated pH at 7.0 for the preparation containing 20% Aloe gel vera extract. This value also falls within the national pH standard for sunscreen of 4.5 - 8.0. The higher concentration of Aloe vera gel extract also increased the dispersive amount of the sunscreen preparation, with the highest value of 5 cm resulting from a 20% Aloe vera gel extract addition. This research showed that the increased addition of Aloe vera gel extract resulted in higher SPF value.

 Abstract

The Anderson model for investigating the temperature dependence of volume expansion of some Nanomaterials viz. Zirconia, Ag, ZnO, NiO and Al compounds have been used by Kumar et.al to obtain results in an approximately fair agreement with the available experimental data. The model used by them is based on the assumption that the Anderson-Gruneisen parameter does not depend on temperature. It is found that the volume thermal experimental data for nanomaterials under study can be reproduced satisfactorily with the help of Liu at.al, which takes into account the temperature dependence of the Anderson-Gruneisen parameter.

 Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) will be the next technological leap for urban mobility however the market penetration rate depends on several factors, including the major hurdle of limited EV charging stations. Equity is also an important factor - ensuring EV charging stations are widespread and available for all segments of the population. This paper outlines an innovative methodology to systematically determine the locations of EV charging stations while considering equity and efficiency to maximize accessibility and usage. The methodology has two levels. First, solving what is known as the Set Covering Location Problem (SCLP) by determining a threshold so that the distance (or travel time) between the consumer and the EV charging station will be less than or equal to a given value. This is a policy-based decision and provides a framework to ensure EV charging stations are ubiquitous and equitable. Second is solving the Maximum Covering Location Problem (MCLP) by considering a series of evaluation criteria to satisfy the demand of the early adopters. Following evaluation of the SCLP and MCLP, selected locations are aggregated by partitions to develop larger scale hubs. These hubs will not only include EV charging stations but will also function as connection points that integrate different modes of transportation. and policy supports in recent years, which leads to a larger demand of charging stations. Strategies about how to find the optimal location for charging facilities are urgently needed in order to further assist This paper describes application of GIS using Trans CAD software by combining SCLP and MCLP approaches to address both equity and efficiency.

 Abstract

Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating effective predictive models for risk assessment and early intervention. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of machine learning (ML) algorithms for predictive modeling of heart disease risk. Leveraging a diverse dataset of patient demographics, clinical attributes, and medical history, we explore the performance of various machine learning techniques, including logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines, and neural networks. We evaluate the models based on metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) to assess their predictive capabilities. Additionally, we investigate the interpretability and computational efficiency of each algorithm to identify strengths and limitations. Our findings provide insights into the relative efficacy of different machine learning approaches for heart disease risk prediction, offering valuable guidance for healthcare practitioners and researchers in developing robust predictive models for cardiovascular risk assessment.

 Abstract

Both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The primary goal is to evaluate four distinct brands of Aceclofenac and Paracetamol tablets that are sold in Indian public pharmacies. Although generic medications share the same active components, variations in formulation methods and excipients have been shown to affect their quality and effectiveness. According to research, cyclooxygenase (COX) is inhibited by Aceclofenac and Paracetamol, which results in a decrease in pain perception or the transmission of neuropathic pain. A few testing techniques (drug assay, disintegration, weight variation, and friability tests) are employed for quality control.

 Abstract

Recently, there have been many exploration endeavors meaning to comprehend counterfeit news wonders and to recognize regular examples and highlights of fake news. However, the genuine separating force of these highlights is as yet unclear: some are more broad, yet others perform well just with explicit information. In this survey work, we direct an exceptionally exploratory examination that created countless models from a huge and various arrangement of highlights. These models are unprejudiced as in their highlights are arbitrarily browsed the pool of accessible highlights. While by far most of models are incapable, we had the option to create various models that yield profoundly exact choices, in this manner successfully isolating fake news from genuine stories. In particular, we zeroed in our examination on models that position a haphazardly picked counterfeit report higher than an arbitrarily picked truth with more than 0.85 likelihood. For these models we tracked down a solid connection among highlights and model expectations, showing that a few highlights are plainly custom fitted for identifying particular sorts of fake news, accordingly confirming that various mixes of highlights cover a particular locale of the fake news space. At last, we present a clarification of variables adding to show choices, along these lines advancing community thinking by supplementing our capacity to assess computerized content and arrive at justified resolutions.

 Abstract

Sign language is one of the oldest and most natural form of language for communication, hence we have come up with a real time method using neural networks for finger spelling based American sign language. Automatic human gesture recognition from camera images is an interesting topic for developing vision. We propose a convolution neural network (CNN) method to recognize hand gestures of human actions from an image captured by camera. The purpose is to recognize hand gestures of human task activities from a camera image. The position of hand and orientation are applied to obtain the training and testing data for the CNN. The hand is first passed through a filter and after the filter is applied where the hand is passed through a classifier which predicts the class of the hand gestures. Then the calibrated images are used to train CNN.
