Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
3. Notice
It is the responsibility of the owner/user to install, inspect, test, maintain and operate a
crane or associated lifting equipment in accordance with the applicable volume of the
ANSI/ASME B30 Safety Standard, OSHA Regulations, ANSI-NFPA 70, National Electric
Code, and local regulations and laws. If the crane or associated lifting equipment is
installed as part of a total lifting system, it is also the responsibility of the owner/user to
comply with the applicable ANSI/ASME B30 volumes that address other types of
equipment used in the system.
Further, it is the responsibility of the owner/user to require all personnel who install,
inspect, test, maintain and operate a crane or associated lifting equipment to read and to
comply with the contents of the instruction manuals furnished by the manufacturer of the
crane or associated lifting equipment, and the applicable portions of the volume of the
ANSI/ASME B30 Safety Standard, OSHA Regulations, ANSI/NFPA 70 and National
Electric Code. If the crane or associated lifting equipment is installed as part of a total
lifting system, the applicable ANSI/ASME B30 volumes that address other types of
equipment used in the system must also be read and followed by all personnel.

Requirements
Daily inspections should be performed at the beginning
of each shift or before initial use of the crane each shift

properly?
5. Do all motions of travel run smoothly with no unusual sounds
present?
6. Check the ground for any signs of oil leakage.

properly.
11. Daily Operator Inspection
Requirements
If any damage or malfunctions are noted during the
daily inspection, the operator shall immediately
advise the appointed person so corrective action
can be taken.
If a malfunction occurs during operation, the
operator shall immediately advise the appointed
person so corrective action can be taken.
If corrective action has not been completed by the
end of the shift, the operator will advise the
operator or operators of the next shift that
corrective action is required and verify the crane is
tagged out with an out of order sign.
12. Periodic Inspection
In addition to daily inspections, OSHA also requires
periodic inspections of overhead cranes. The definition
and frequency of periodic inspections are defined in the
coming slides.
13. Periodic Inspection
A periodic inspection is a detailed
visual and operational inspection
whereby individual components
are examined to determine their
condition. The periodic inspection
is performed as often as quarterly

34. Operational Safety
Do not overload the crane or hoist. Make sure the
combined weight of the lifter and load does not exceed
the rated load capacity of the crane or hoist.
Refuse to make lift if you are unsure of any issues.
Do not proceed until all issues are resolved.
35. Operational Safety
Take instructions only from the person designated to
give signals.
Do not ride or allow other people to do so.
36. Operational Safety
To pick up a load, move the crane and
hoist/hook directly above the load to
eliminate the possibility of side loading
and minimize load swing.
37. Operational Safety
Before lifting, ensure that everyone is
clear of any pinch or crush zones.
When starting to lift the load, only lift
it a few inches off the ground to verify
hoist brake is functioning properly
before continuing with the lift.
38. Operational Safety
Make sure the rigging is in good
condition and that safe rigging
practices are applied.
Ensure rigging is appropriate for
the load size, shape and
weight.
39. Operational Safety
Always maintain a clear
view of the crane path
so you can observe any
obstacles or personnel
in your path.
40. Operational Safety
Use one continuous
motion when traveling.
Try not to start/stop
(plug) as this will result in
load swing.
41. Operational Safety – Moving a
Load
Do not lift loads over people. Stay out from
under the load and make sure other people
remain at a distance.
Do not become distracted while traveling. If
you need to speak with someone, cease
operation of the crane.
42. Operational Safety
Never leave a suspended
load unattended. If you
must leave the area, lower
the load to the ground
before doing so.
43. Operational Safety – Moving a
Load
Stay clear while moving a load. Do
not allow the load to swing. Use a
rod to push the load or a tag line to
pull the load. Exercise particular
caution with sheet lifters. Be sure to
keep the load level. Tilting the lifter
could cause the load to slide off the
lifter.
