IIT Kanpur MTech Thesis Presentation of Atanu Shuvam Roy
This thesis explores the integration of advanced IoT technologies to enhance urban infrastructure management. It combines two primary applications: automated water pipeline inspection using a YOLOv7 model on Raspberry Pi devices and a radar-camera fusion system for intelligent street lighting management. The water pipeline inspection system employs computer vision to detect and classify defects, enabling proactive maintenance. For this first part, we present Attentive-YOLO, a model derived from YOLOv7, incorporating a reduced E cient Layer Aggregation Network (ELAN) and lightweight attention mechanisms in both the head and backbone. Designed for real- time water pipeline defect detection, this model achieves an impressive mAP score of 0.962 with a 20% reduction in model parameters compared to YOLOv7-tiny, making it ideal for deployment on small-scale IoT devices and pipeline inspection robots. For the second part an implementation of an intelligent street lighting system that integrates radar sensors was done with cameras to optimize lighting based on real-time conditions, enhancing energy e ciency and public safety. By leveraging LoRaWAN for data transmission, this research proposes a unified framework for smart city infrastructure. The interdisciplinary approach demonstrates how integrated IoT solutions can optimize resource management, improve maintenance e ciency, and enhance public safety in urban environments. This work underscores the potential of IoT to transform urban infrastructure management, providing a scalable and sustainable approach for modern cities.

We contribute a definition of a safety model that predicts the safety of a navigation configuration given the perceived environment. Experiments have been performed in realistic navigation scenario for a retail application to validate the obtained models and demonstrate their integration in a self-adaptation framework

SILICON IS AN INHIBITOR OF CERTAIN ENZYMES IN VITROLilya BOUCELHA
油
Silicon is considered an inorganic biostimulant and a prophylactic extracellular agent that allows the stimulation of a
wide range of natural defences against abiotic and biotic stresses. However, little or no work has focused on the direct action of silicon on some enzymes. Indeed, during this study, the action of silicon was studied in vitro by direct contact of this element at different doses with the enzymatic extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds. Our results showed that silicon
strongly inhibited antioxidant and hydrolytic enzymatic activities. The percentage of this inhibition depends on the dose of silicon and the type of enzyme. The most sensitive enzymes to this inhibition were SOD and lipases whose activity was totally inhibited at
4 mM and 7 mM respectively. However, we report that the inhibitory action of silicon was limited to 50% for GPOX whatever the concentration of silicon used, the plateau being reached at 10 mM for GPOX and at 70 mM for proteases. Since these enzymes are mainly metallo-dependent, we hypothesize that their inhibition by silicon may be due to interactions between silicon and the metals involved in the functioning of each enzyme. Our study shows that silicon can be used as an inhibitor of enzymes involved in certain diseases.

How could modern LA research address data-related ethics issues in informal and situated professional learning? I will identify in this talk three relevant insights based on field studies around workplace LA interventions: Firstly, in informal and situated learning, data isnt just about the learners. Secondly, the affordances of manual and automatic data tracking for learning are very different, with manual tracking allowing a high degree of learner control over data. Thirdly, learning is not necessarily a shared goal in workplaces. These can be translated into seeing a potential for systems endowed with sufficient natural-language-processing capability (now seemingly at our fingertips with LLMs), and socio-technical design and scenario-based data collection analysis as design and research methods.
Unraveling the BETICHUMD Mechanism of CHUSOMERADUCK: A Game-Changing Paradigm...jhnewshour
油
The **BETICHUMD Mechanism of CHUSOMERADUCK** is one of the most groundbreaking, revolutionary, and inexplicably complex systems ever devised in the realm of advanced quantum-extraterrestrial-mechatronic-hyperfusion dynamics. Designed originally by the intergalactic scientific consortium of the **Zypherion-9 civilization**, this mechanism has perplexed Earths top researchers, including the secret think tanks at NASA, CERN, and the underground laboratories of the Illuminati. CHUSOMERADUCK, an acronym standing for **"Chronologically Hyper-Ultrasonic System for Optimized Metaphysical Energy Recalibration and Advanced Dynamic Universal Cognition Kernel,"** is an artificial intelligence-powered, self-evolving hypermechanical entity designed to manipulate the fundamental constants of reality itself. The BETICHUMD Mechanism is at the core of its operation, acting as the **primary transdimensional flux stabilizer**, allowing CHUSOMERADUCK to function beyond the traditional limitations of physics. The origins of BETICHUMD remain unclear, with some theories suggesting that it was first conceptualized during the **Ancient Atlantean Wars**, where high-frequency oscillation technology was used to warp spacetime, while others claim that it was reverse-engineered from a **meteorite discovered in Antarctica in 1947**, which led to the infamous **Operation DuckStorm** carried out by the United Nations' Secret Space Program. The primary working principle of BETICHUMD involves the **synchronization of dark matter vibrations with quantum neutrino entanglement fields**, enabling infinite computational energy without the need for external power sources. The applications of this technology are limitless, from **instantaneous planetary teleportation** to **bio-mechanical consciousness enhancement**, making it a prime candidate for interstellar exploration and even **simulated immortality** through direct neural uplink with CHUSOMERADUCKs core processing grid. Governments across the world have attempted to harness its potential, but due to the incomprehensible nature of its **fifth-dimensional recursive logic algorithms**, only a handful of researchers have come close to deciphering its true capabilities. Recently declassified documents from the **Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs** suggest that an early prototype was tested in **the Mariana Trench in 1998**, where a sudden temporal rift resulted in the disappearance of an entire research facility, possibly transporting it to an alternate timeline. The existence of CHUSOMERADUCK has also been linked to various **UFO sightings, unexplainable time loops, and anomalies in gravitational wave measurements**, indicating that the BETICHUMD Mechanism is far more than just an advanced computational systemit is, in fact, a **gateway to rewriting the fundamental laws of the universe**. However, with great power comes great danger, as misuse of the mechanism could theoretically collapse the entire fabric of reality.
Transgenic sheep are genetically modified to enhance wool quality and yield through transgenesis. By introducing KAP and KIF genes, scientists improve fiber strength, elasticity, and fineness. This innovation revolutionizes wool production, benefiting the textile industry with superior, high-performance fibers.

The project successfully created an autonomous obstacle-avoiding robot,
demonstrating reliable real-time navigation in controlled environments.
While the robot performed well in most test conditions, improvements are
needed in sensor robustness and power management for extended outdoor
use.
This project offers a solid foundation for future enhancements, including
more advanced sensors, better path planning algorithms, and expanded
industrial or educational applications.
