The quantitative analysis of drainage system is
an important aspect of characterization of watersheds.
Using watershed as a basin unit in morphometric analysis
is the most logical choice because all hydrological and

The Effect of Geometry Parameters and Flow Characteristics on Erosion and Sed...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
One of the most critical problems in the river
engineering field is scouring, sedimentation and morphology
of a river bed. In this paper, a finite volume method
FORTRAN code is provided and used. The code is able to
model the sedimentation. The flow and sediment were
modeled at the interception of the two channels. It is applied
an experimental model to evaluate the results. Regarding the
numerical model, the effects of geometry parameters such as
proportion of secondary channel to main channel width and
intersection angle and also hydraulic conditionals like
secondary to main channel discharge ratio and inlet flow
Froude number were studied on bed topographical and flow
pattern. The numerical results show that the maximum
height of bed increased to 32 percent as the discharge ratio
reaches to 51 percent, on average. It is observed that the
maximum height of sedimentation decreases by declining in
main channel to secondary channel Froude number ratio. On
the assessment of the channel width, velocity and final bed
height variations have changed by given trend, in all the
ratios. Also, increasing in the intersection angle accompanied
by decreasing in flow velocity variations along the channel.
The pattern of velocity and topographical bed variations are
also constant in any studied angles.

This paper describes the application of a spatially distributed hydrological model WetSpa (Water and Energy Transfer between Soil, Plants and Atmosphere) using radar-based rainfall data provide by the United States Hydrology Laboratory of NOAA's National Weather Service for a distributed model intercomparison project. The model is applied to the
river basin above Tahlequah hydrometry station with 30-m spatial resolution and one hour time--step for a total simulation period of 6 years. Rainfall inputs are derived from radar. The distributed model parameters are based on an extensive database of watershed characteristics available for the region, including digital maps of DEM, soil type, and land use. The model is calibrated and validated on part of the river flow records. The simulated hydrograph shows a good correspondence with observation (Nash efficiency coeffiecient >80%, indicating that the model is able to simulate the relevant hydrologic processes in the basin accurately.
In developing accurate hydro geomorphological analysis, monitoring, ability to generate information in spatial and temporal domain and delineation of land features are crucial for successful analysis and prediction of groundwater resources. However, the use of RS and GIS in handling large amount of spatial data provides to gain accurate information for delineating the geological and geomorphological characteristics and allied significance, which are considered as a controlling factor for the occurrence and movement of groundwater used IRS LISS II data on 1: 50000 scale along with topographic maps in various parts of India to develop integrated groundwater potential zone
To prevent losing water resources and wetlands, and conserve existing wetlands
ecosystem for ecosystem and biodiversity services, good, wetlands habitats forstart
any sustainable development programs, it is necessary to detect, monitor and
inventory water resources and their surround uplands. Recently, AL-Razaza Lake
suffer from a critical situation because of the decreasing in the water level and
increase a salinity. We have propose a method to monitor and model the spatial and
multi-temporal changes of AL-Razaza Lake in the period 1992–2018. This study
includes pre-processing, processing and post-processing stages. In Addition, a
supervised classification was used to classify the satellite images. Validation result
reveals that the overall accuracies and kappa coefficients of the supervised
classifications were 88, 90.79, 95.94 and 87.67 respectively, and 82%, 86%, 93% and
79% respectively. The results showed that the percentage change was significant
during this period, such that the decreased surface area was from 1313.87 km2 in
1992 to 224.85 km2 in 201.The noticeable results show the rapidly decreasing in the
Lake area by 82.8% with area about 1089.02 km2 over the last three decades. All the
dehydration extended area of the Lake was replaced by soil.
ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF SPATIAL INTERPOLATION OF RAINFALL ON THE STREAMFLOW ...civej
Precipitation within a river basin varies spatially and temporally and hence, is the most relevant input for
hydrologic modelling. Various interpolation methods exist to distribute rainfall spatially within a basin.
The sparse distribution of raingauge stations within a river basin and the differences in interpolation
methods can potentially impact the streamflow simulated using a hydrologic model. The present study
focuses on assessing the effect of spatial interpolation of rainfall using Theissen polygon, Inverse distance
weighted (IDW) method and Ordinary Kriging on the streamflow simulated using a physically based
spatially distributed model-SHETRAN in Vamanapuram river basin in Southern Kerala, India. The
SHETRAN model in the present study utilises rainfall data from the available rain gauge stations within the
basin and potential evapo-transpiration calculated using Penman-Monteith method, along with other input
parameters like soil and landuse. Four years of rainfall and evapo-transpiration data on a daily scale is
used for model calibration and one year data for validation. The performance of the different spatial
interpolation methods were assessed based on the Mean Annual flow and statistical parameters like NashSutcliffe
Efficiency, coefficient of determination. The ordinary kriging and IDW methods were found to be
satisfactory in the spatial interpolation of rainfall.

Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.
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.

Topo-Bathymetric LiDAR for Monitoring River Morphodynamics and Instream Habitats—A Case Study at the Pielach River

A Paper Report Of
Topo-Bathymetric LiDAR for Monitoring River Morphodynamics and Instream
Habitats—A Case Study at the Pielach River
Gottfried Mandlburger, Christoph Hauer, MartinWieser and Norbert Pfeifer
Remote Sensing 7 (2015) 6160–6195
1. Summary of the Paper
Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry (ALB) has been rapidly evolving in recent
years and now allows fluvial topography to be mapped in high resolution
(>20points/m ) and height accuracy (<10cm) for both the aquatic and the
riparian area. This article presents methods for enhanced modeling and
monitoring of instream meso- and microhabitats based on multitemporal data
acquisition. Case studies in this paper are the Pielach River, with data acquired
from April 2013 to October 2014, covering two flood events. In comparison
with topographic laser scanning, ALB requires a number of specific processing
steps. Firstly, a novel approach for modeling the water surface in the case of
sparse water surface echoes and, secondly, a strategy for improved filtering and
modeling of the Digital Terrain Model of the Watercourse (DTM-W).
Furthermore, for the first time, such a high-resolution data source (Bathymetric
LiDAR Data) is used for monitoring of hydro-morphological units (mesohabitat
scale) including the consequences for the target fish species base
(Chondrostoma cases, microhabitat scale)
The surveyed reference points were classified into five categories: (i) sealed
road; (ii) river bed; (iii) alluvial forest; (iv) grassland; and (v) gravel. Those five
categories represent all relevant land cover categories within the study area.
Finally conclude that topo-bathymetric LiDAR at high spatial and temporal
resolution is a viable method for monitoring of instream habitats but also for
studying potential floods, thus contributing to various directives (Fauna-Flora-
Habitat, Water Framework, Flood).
2. Reason for Choosing Paper
The reason I chose this paper is this paper explains how the LiDAR
bathymetry can be used to measuring the depths of relatively shallow, coastal
waters from the air using such a scanning, the pulsed green laser beam. With
the recent advent of topo-bathymetric LiDAR, simultaneous monitoring of land
surfaces and water bodies became possible.
The method used in this paper is very clear and easy to understand which is
accompanied by pictures, tables and chart. Furthermore, I am very interested in
this paper because in this paper shows that monitoring of instream habitats via
repeat surveys has not been performed by airborne topo-bathymetric LiDAR so
far, especially not at simultaneously high temporal and geometric resolution.
3. Contribution of the Paper
The contribution of this paper are present and evaluate new methods (i)
determine of the river water surface using only a few reflections available from
the green LiDAR; (ii) modeling the topography of the river bed and the riparian
area; (iii) derive spatially variable DEM of Differences (DoD) error estimates
for significantly distinguishing between real changes and noise; (iv) to study the

dynamic river morphology and verify the findings by field visits; and (v)
demonstrate how these models can be used for modeling aquatic habitats.
4. Possible future research
The future studies are to overcome the problems of classification into land
surface and vegetation points at steep banks. Introduced an additional explicit
terrain break line modeling step. For the wetted perimeter, a new classification
method based on measured and derived point features allowed separation of the
laser echoes into river bottom, volume backscatter, and water surface.
5. Comparison with Other Paper
In Hilldale paper, airborne LiDAR bathymetry for the wet area and standard
airborne topographic LiDAR from two different campaigns are combined for
modeling the riverine area. A numerical hydrodynamic 2D model are used to
derive microhabitats (pool, riffle, glide) and microhabitats on the basis of
Froude numbers (especially spawning habitats). Data used on that paper only
one epoch and verification was performed by field investigations, going along
the river with a boat while the reviewed paper used data acquired from April
2013 to October 2014. This reference also includes an accuracy assessment,
indicating a mean elevation difference of 15–25cm between terrestrial and
LiDAR bathymetric measurements and a standard deviation of 11–35cm.
The suggested method for modeling the water surface were compared to
terrestrial reference measurements and showed a bias below 2cm and a standard
deviation of 3cm. In comparison to previous studies evaluating the offset
between air/water interface and surface reflections, in this paper has modeling
approach shows smaller deviations. Furthermore, in this paper performed for
four epochs have been chosen for study.
