Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
2. INTRODUCTION
At a point within a soil mass, stress will be developed
as a result of:
The soil laying above the point (overburden)
by a any structural or other loading imposed on
that soil mass.
Common examples of the external loads are as
follows:
Uniform strip loads such as the load on along wall
footing of sufficient width.
Uniformly loaded square, rectangular or circular
footings such as column footings of buildings,
pier footings, footings for water tanks, mats, etc
Triangular and or trapezoidal strip loads such as
the loads of long earth embankments.
3. INTRODUCTION
The focus of this chapter is on the discussion of the
principles of estimation of vertical stress increase in
soil due to various types of loading, based on the
THEORY OF ELASTICITY.
INTRODUCTION (Cont.)
We actually know that the soil is not elastic, however
we use elasticity theory on the absence of better
alternative. Estimation of induced vertical stress
based on the assumption of elasticity yields fairly
good results for practical work.
In the preceding chapter we discussed the stresses
originated from weight of the soil itself. These
stresses are called BODY STRESSES or GEOSTATIC
STRESSES, or OVERBURDEN.
Both body stresses and induced stresses must be
taken into consideration in solving certain problems.
4. I. Stresses from Approximate Methods
a. 2:1 Method
In this method it is assumed that the STRESSED
AREA is larger than the corresponding dimension of
the loaded area by an amount equal to the depth of
the subsurface area.
Therefore, if a load is applied on a
rectangular with dimension B and
L, the stress on the soil at depth z
is considered to be uniformly
distributed on an area with
dimension (B+z) and (L+z).
This is called 2:1 method because the stressed area
increases at a slope of 1 horizontally for each 2 of
depth as measured from the depth of foundation.

6. Remarks
In both methods, the stress at a given depth is
uniform over the stressed area. In reality, however,
stress directly beneath the foundation will be higher
than beneath edges.
Hence approximate methods underestimate stress
directly beneath the foundation and overestimate it as
we go toward the edges. They are only good for
preliminary analysis.
Approximate method are good only for finite loaded
area (logically).
7. If the load at the surface is given to be distributed, it
is first converted to point load by multiplying by the
area (B x L) as demonstrated in the figure below.
8. II. Stresses From Theory of Elasticity
There are a number of solutions which are based on
the theory of elasticity. Most of them assume the
following assumptions:
The soil is homogeneous
The soil is isotropic
The soil is perfectly elastic infinite or semi-finite medium
Tens of solutions for different problems are now
available in the literature. It is enough to say that a
whole book (Poulos and Davis) is now available for
the elastic solutions of various problems.
The derivations of the equations for various common
loadings are tedious.
We will concentrate only on formula, tables and
charts for some of the loadings most commonly
encountered in practice.
9. The book contains a comprehensive collection of
graphs, tables and explicit solutions of problems
in elasticity relevant to soil and rock mechanics.

The available solution depends on the following conditions:
We can see that a lot of combinations can be made
from the above conditions. Next we will consider
some of these solutions which are well-known and
has been accepted and extensively used.

Vertical stress due to a vertical line load
Vertical stress due to a vertical strip load
Vertical stress under the Corners of triangular load of finite length
Vertical stress due to embankment load
Vertical stress below a center of a uniformly loaded Circular area
Vertical stress at any point below a uniformly loaded Circular area
Vertical stress below the corner of a uniformly loaded rectangular
area
Cases that we will consider:
12. 1 . Vertical Stress Caused by a Vertical Point Load
The most important original solution was given by
BOUSSINESQ (1885) for the distribution of stress
within a linear elastic half space resulting from a
point load normal to the surface as shown
15. 2. Vertical Stress Caused by a Vertical Line Load
The vertical stress increase inside the soil caused
by a vertical flexible line load of finite length that
has an intensity q/unit length on the surface of a
semi-infinite soil mass is given by:
16. We can use either polar or rectangular (Cartesian)
coordinates.
17. 3 . Vertical Stress Caused by a Vertical Strip Load
(Finite width and infinite length)
Such conditions are found for structures extended very
much in one direction, such as strip and wall
foundations, foundations of retaining walls,
embankments, dams and the like.

52. If the surcharge loading is extensively wide, the increase
in vertical total stress below it may be considered
constant with depth and equal to the magnitude of the
surcharge.
9. Total stress with a surface surcharge load
53. Pressure Bulb, isobar
When a load is applied to the soil surface, it increases
the vertical and lateral stresses within the soil mass.
The increased stresses are greatest directly under
the loaded area and DISSIPATE within the soil mass
as a function of distance away from the loaded area.
This is commonly called spatial attenuation of applied
loads.
An isobar is a curve that connects all points below
the ground surface of equal stress.
Isobars are also called stress contours, or bulbs of
pressure or simply pressure bulbs.
A system of isobars indicates the spatial variation of
stress intensity.
55. The relationships for can be used to calculate the
stress increase at various grid points below the
loaded area. Based on those calculated stress
increases, stress isobars can be plotted.
Strip Footing Square Footing Circular Footing
56. Conceptual Illustration
The figure below shows how the load is distributed if a single
thickness of balls is loaded in a two dimensional analysis.
In fact, the soil is three-dimensional, not two, and the
load is distributed over an even greater number of balls
at each layer.
57. A schematic of the vertical stress distribution with
