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.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

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.

32. How SIR different than SEZ
• SIR is bigger and is not merely export-oriented; instead offers a
range of services.
• In Dholera, for instance, a residential city to grow vertically based
on digital planning will coexist with industrial estates, a hub of
financial and banking services and educational institutions
• SIRs are global investment destinations, with the objective of-
achieving high economic growth for the country with massive;
employment generation.
35. Issues
• Big tax incentives to industries erode governments’ revenue
which is directly affecting the economy in a negative way
• SEZs have been mired in protests over forced land acquisition,
inadequate compensation to land-owners and trampling of citizen
rights
• SEZs are located on agricultural
lands which results into destitution
of farmers usurping of arable land,
which is short in supply in a
populated country like India.
36. Issues
• Farmers have been committing suicide – The biggest challenges
faced in today’s scenario are the taking away of agricultural land
from the farmers
• Shift of labor from agriculture to industry – Moreover SEZ’s are
leading to decrease in crop production
• Forced land acquisition at times turned into violent protests, as in
Singur and Nandigram
• SEZs lead to concentration of
industries rather than disbursal of
industrialization
• Violation of Public rights
37. Concerns
• SEZ approach criteria should include land use considerations
and avoid involving real estate developers who might be
interested in land speculation
• Concern to bridge the widening gap between rich and poor
• Concerns for deleting localized industries require retrospection of
the development of SEZs
• Policymakers appeared unprepared
to respond to the widespread
criticism, and the government
seemed to be a house divided
40. Conclusion
• SEZ policy has no doubt given a boost to Indian economy but
comparison implementation with countries bring out lacunas in Indian
SEZ policy
• Key Challenges
– Provision for revenue sharing with ULBs
– Provision for employment to landless owners
– Integration with existing Master & Regional Plan
– Give share of acquired land to original land owners
– Compensation shall be on the basis of market price
– Due exercise of control while approving and locating SEZ
– Need to develop regional/sub regional plan around SEZ area
