This research study presents the analysis of learning disability detection and classification using two classification algorithms. Learning disabilities are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect the ability to acquire and process information. Detecting and classifying these disabilities accurately is crucial for providing appropriate interventions and support to affected individuals. This research analyzes two categorization algorithms: Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Although RF is an ensemble learning method that incorporates several decision trees to produce predictions, SVM is a supervised machine learning algorithm that employs hyperplanes to split data points into distinct groups. This analysis compares the two algorithms' performance in terms of F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision. A dataset consisting of features related to cognitive abilities, academic performance, and behavioral characteristics of individuals with and without learning disabilities is used for the analysis. The results show that both SVM and RF achieve high accuracy in learning disability detection and classification. However, SVM performs better than RF because it has greater precision and recall. This indicates that SVM is better at correctly identifying individuals with learning disabilities and minimizing false positives and false negatives. These algorithms can assist in early identification and intervention, enabling targeted support for individuals with learning disabilities.

This study presents an improved methodology of wildfire detection in the forest using PyTorch, a wise machine learning framework, and the Flask application for real-time monitoring. Focusing on accuracy and speed in detection, the methodology mainly refers to data acquisition, and preprocessing of satellite image datasets in its essence, meanwhile featuring the training of robust models through data augmentation. The experimental results using the PyTorch model, which depends on DenseNet201, have proven its ability to determine patterns and reflect highly dynamic contrasts between vertical and horizontal pans; this is especially true when the principal element of the considered satellite image is diffuse and indeterminate. The framework has been integrated into a user-friendly Flask web app, and it gives outputs of immediate wildfire detection upon image upload. The approach is also shown to deliver better metrics thus a more efficient solution as proven by the experimental results. The study informs environmental technology about introducing an easy-to-apply, applicable, and adaptive tool that may have potential associations with environmental agencies for environmentally sustainable approaches to wildfire management.

In this article, the problem of using an intelligent system to ensure the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in industrial safety is discussed. The real-time solution provides fast feedback and easy-to-use monitoring to safety managers and users alike by combining sensors and machine learning algorithms. The analysis shows how it can improve industrial safety regulations and assesses its efficacy. Strategically placed sensors gather copious amounts of data about PPE compliance, and the system integrates wearable, vision-based, and environmental technologies. Novel techniques such as Computer vision algorithm is used object detection and recognition. SSD single-shot multi-box detectors and (YOLO) enable efficient object detection and quick PPE item identification. Furthermore, it has been observed that Region-based Convolution Neural Network(R-CNNs) increase workplace safety standards by improving the system's adaptability to variations in the usage of safety gear over time.

Abstract For the first time, AlGaN/GaN HEMT is demonstrated for bio-sensing application using transconductance analysis. A lot of HEMT based biosensors were developed experimentally but very few reported on sensing applications. These devices are ideal for sensing or tracking biomolecule because of the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization properties. AlGaN/GaN HEMT with nanogap cavity is used to detect different biomolecule like streptavidin, protein and uricase. The sensitivity of AlGaN/GaN HEMT is investigated through drain current (ID) and transconductance(gm) and is analyzed using Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) tool. The result shows a noticeable change in drain current on introducing different biomolecules below the gate cavity region. Higher sensitivity was obtained for with Transconductance analysis than with drain current analysis.

A novel AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor High-electron mobility transistor (MOS-HEMT) using Hf02 as a gate dielectric, grown on a silicon substrate was successfully designed and simulated. In this, we have shown the comparison between HEMT and MOS-HEMT, which eventually proves MOS-HEMT is better than HEMT in certain cases. Different Significant study has been made on gate oxides such as SiO2, Gd2O3, Al2O3, etc but Hf02 was proved to be efficient in reduction of leakage current on GaN-based platforms [3], [4]. Here based on the device performance, Ids of MOS-HEMT is 0.25 A at VGS =6 V is comparatively higher than HEMT which is 0.2 A. The resulted MOS-HEMT also shows improved characteristics of drain current 0.38 A at Vgs= 0 and Vds= 5, hip-her than HEMT.

The highlights of the proposed HEMT are intrinsic GaN channel, AlN nucleation layer, AIGaN barrier layer and asymmetric gate technology and GaN cap layer. The $\\mathrm {L}_{\\mathrm {g}} = 50$ nm proposed HEMT on SiC substrate exhibits a $\\mathrm {g}_{\\mathrm {m}_{-}\\max }$ of 170 mS/mm and $\\mathrm {I}_{\\mathrm {D}\\mathrm {S}_{-}\\max }$ of 800 mA/mm and breakdown voltage of 550 V. The proposed HEMT on SiC substrate exhibits a threshold voltage of -5V which indicates its D-Mode operation of the device. This excellent DC and breakdown characteristics of the proposed HEMT makes them an excellent candidate for future high power and high frequency applications.
