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.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

⇒ If you get a spammed advertisement
Don’t bother replying with ”REMOVE” in the subject line.
This simply confirms that your address is being read by a real person.
If you open the message, watch your outgoing mail queue to make sure
that a ”return receipt” message was not generated, to be sent back to
the spammer automatically.
It is best to queue your mail and send manually, rather than send
immediately, so that you can see what’s about to go out before it’s
actually sent.
You may be able to forward copies of spam e-mail to the system
administrators → ISP.
know a lot about mail headers and DNS tools.
Dr. Varun Kumar (IIIT Surat) Lecture-18 4 / 9
5. Be Conscious of Web Security
⇒ Never submit a credit card number or other highly sensitive personal
information without first making sure your connection is secure.
⇒ Use “https://” instead of “http://” in url.
Dr. Varun Kumar (IIIT Surat) Lecture-18 5 / 9
6. Be Conscious of Home Computer Security
⇒ Turn your computer off when you are not using it.
ADSL line, Modem or Phone Line Connection
⇒ Home PCs have poor security compared to the Unix workstations that
power most commercial Web sites.
⇒ System crackers search for vulnerable, unattended ADSL connected
home computers
Invade them with surprising ease
Search confidential file, sensitive data
Credit/Debit card number
⇒ They can even take over the computer and quietly using it for their
own purposes.
False allegation due to attack by other computer.
Dr. Varun Kumar (IIIT Surat) Lecture-18 6 / 9

Whether or not to do business with a Website.
⇒ Does the site provide off-line contact information, including a postal
address?
⇒ Have you ever heard of this company?
⇒ Does the site have a prominently posted privacy policy?
If so, what does it say?
Many are little more than disclaimers saying that you have no privacy.
Are they backing up their privacy statement with a seal program
http://www.truste.org
http:// www.bbbonline.org
Check the seal, Is it real or not ?
⇒ Look out for auto re-billing scams and hidden fees.
Dr. Varun Kumar (IIIT Surat) Lecture-18 7 / 9
