This document summarizes the business case for green buildings. It discusses how green buildings can provide savings through reduced energy usage, emissions, water usage, and increased health and productivity. It estimates that the net present value of savings over 20 years is $52.84 per square foot. However, there is still a perception gap around the costs of green buildings, with estimates ranging from 0.4-12.5% higher costs. This gap is decreasing as supply chains mature, standards converge, and knowledge increases. The document recommends conducting a similar study in the GCC region and increasing education and incentives to further the business case for green buildings.

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.

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.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A similar study to that of state of California should be done in the GCC
region to confirm its findings within our local context.
2. Municipalities should encourage building green by passing 50% of the
estimated 10 times ROI of building green to developers/owners in the form
of incentive programs and subsidizing schemes.
3. EDUCATION..EDUCATION...EDUCATION…. the more people know about the
benefits of building green, the more feasible it becomes:
• Knowledgeable professionals = more efficient designs
• Knowledgeable policy makers = More holistic green regulations
• Knowledgeable suppliers = Green products benefits communication
• Knowledgeable end users = better green buildings rental premiums
