Abstract: The "AI-Based Traffic Management System" project introduces an innovative approach to optimize traffic flow and enhance intersection safety using computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI). Traditional traffic signal systems often struggle to efficiently handle varying traffic conditions, leading to congestion and delays. This project addresses these challenges by leveraging advanced technologies. The system utilizes the YOLOv3 deep learning model for real-time vehicle detection and classification from live video streams captured by traffic cameras. Vehicles, including bicycles, cars, buses, and trucks, are identified and counted as they approach a simulated intersection. This enables the system to dynamically assess traffic density from different directions (north, south, east, west) and make informed decisions to optimize traffic light control, thereby reducing congestion and improving overall traffic flow.

The purpose of the present research was to develop and evaluate pantoprazole enteric coated tablets utilizing Eudragit L100 as the enteric polymer. The medication was chosen based on a review of the literature, which showed that pantoprazole is unstable in the stomach's acidic environment. Eudragit L100 was chosen as the polymer of choice to coat the tablet. Preformulation characteristics for the medication, such as its melting point, IR, DSC, solubility, and partition coefficient, were assessed for identification and characterisation. The F5 batch of tablets was chosen for enteric coating based on the evaluation results of the core tablets. Enteric polymer Eudragit L100 was applied to the F5 batch at 6% and 8% with 1.5% PEG serving as a plasticizer. The drug content, weight fluctuation, hardness, and in vitro drug release of the coated F5 Batch containing 6% and 8% Eudragit L100 were assessed. It was discovered that the F5 batch coated with 8% polymer outperformed the F5 batch coated with 6% polymer. As a result, F5 (8%) was chosen as the best formulation.

ABSTRACT Little millet, scientifically known as Panicum sumatrense and belonging to the Poaceae family, is particularly beneficial for diabetics due to its slow digestion compared to rice and wheat. Additionally, papad, a traditional savory food known by various names such as appalam or papadam, holds a significant place in Indian dietary practices. By keeping little millet, enormous health benefits, the present study was aims to use little millet for development of papad by partially replacement of rice flour (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) was explored. These concentrations were labeled as L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and L6, respectively. These formulations were evaluated for sensory attributes by a panel of semi-trained panelists (n=30). It was found that papad incorporating 60% little millet showed similar acceptability compared to the control, while those with 80% and 100% replacement scored lower in overall acceptability. Therefore, the papad made with 60% replacement of little millet was selected for nutritional analysis, revealing higher levels of protein (), fiber (), calcium (), and iron () compared to the control. This improved nutritional profile positions the pseudo-cereal papad as superior to traditional rice papad.
