This document derives the energy of the first excited state of the harmonic oscillator using the Schrödinger equation. It first shows that the wave function for the first excited state is a1xe−ax2, where a is a constant. It then substitutes this wave function and its derivatives into the Schrödinger equation for the harmonic oscillator to obtain an expression for the energy E1 in terms of the angular frequency ω. Solving this expression yields the result that the energy of the first excited state is E1 = (3/2)ħω.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
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.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

General Problems
29 •• Eight identical non-interacting fermions are confined to an infinite
two-dimensional square box of side length L. Determine the energies of the three
lowest-energy states. (See Problem 22.)
Picture the Problem We can determine the energies of the state by identifying
the four lowest quantum states that are occupied in the ground state and
computing their combined energies. We can then find the energy difference
between the ground state and the first excited state and use this information to
find the energy of the excited state.
Each n, m state can accommodate
only 2 particles. Therefore, in the
ground state of the system of 8
fermions, the four lowest quantum
states are occupied. These are:
(1,1), (1,2), (2,1) and (2,2)
Note that the states (1,2) and (2,1) are
distinctly different states because the x
and y directions are distinguishable.

conclude that x and xp must
be zero. Hence:

Remarks: All we’ve shown is that Z = h/(2mω0) is an extreme value, i.e.,
either a maximum or a minimum. To show that Z = h/(2mω0) minimizes <E>
we must either 1) show that the second derivative of <E> with respect to Z
evaluated at Z = h/(2mω0) is positive, or 2) confirm that the graph of <E> as a
function of Z opens upward at Z = h /(2mω0).
