Boosted Query Expansion for Agricultural Decision Support: A Hybrid Framework Combining Case-Based Reasoning, Fuzzification, and Machine Learning Surabhi Solanki, Vaibhav Srivastav, Anirban Bhattacharya, Pulakesh Roy, Suprava Ranjan Laha, et al. Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2025 This framework, “BQ-CBRS,” Hybrid Bigger Query-Case Based Reasoning System model, is the first of its kind to unite contextual embedding-based query expansion (using BERT), IndRNN-based semantic similarity scoring, the fuzzification of uncertain parameters, and XGBoost classification within one application to support precision agriculture. Some of the steps include query preprocessing, generating contextual embeddings utilizing a pre-trained method (for example, BERT), semantic similarity scoring using IndRNN, and expanding the query by adding top-ranked search terms. Fuzzification will acknowledge any uncertainty present in the data, while XGBoost will enhance the predictive power and efficacy of the present work. The proposed methodology consists of query preprocessing, contextual representations using pre-trained models (like BERT), calculating a similarity score through IndRNN, and expanding the query according to the top-scoring terms. Fuzzification will address the uncertainty in the data, and XGBoost will enhance prediction accuracy and efficiency. The Crop Recommendation Dataset consists of parameters, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, pH, temperature, and rainfall. The present model has low accuracy and low mean square error (MSE). Also, it improves over traditional approaches. The model will utilize precision agriculture technology to link historical cases and improve approaches for more effective resource management and advancing sustainable farming. This combination of symbolic reasoning and deep learning in the agriculture domain is novel, establishing a generalizable framework for intelligent decision support in dynamic and uncertain situations.
Photovoltaic Stand-Alone Systems Using an Artificial Neural Network-Based Intelligent Control System Yaseen Al-Husban, Takialddin Al Smadi, Suprava Ranjan Laha, Khalid Al Smadi Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2025 This study introduces an adaptive artificial neural network (ANN)-based control system to enhance the efficiency of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems under dynamic environmental conditions. Traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods, such as perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC), are hindered by slow convergence and oscillations. The proposed approach utilizes a hybrid ANN architecture with hyperbolic tangent (tanh) and rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation functions in a 6-3 neuron hidden layer structure, enabling real-time prediction of the optimal voltage (V_mpp). Integrated with a PID-controlled DC-DC boost converter, the system seamlessly transitions between the solar harvesting, battery charging, and load supply modes. Trained on 10,000 environmental samples (irradiance: 150–1000 W/m² and temperature: 25–50°C) using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, the ANN achieved 99.2% tracking accuracy with a mean squared error (MSE) of 1.73×10⁻⁵ in 200 epochs. MATLAB/Simulink simulations demonstrated superior performance, surpassing P&O by 4.1% and INC by 3.2%, while maintaining a voltage ripple below 1.5%. Key innovations include the hybrid ANN design that mitigates saturation effects, adaptive PID tuning for minimal oscillations, and a three-mode converter that ensures a stable 24 V load voltage during irradiance fluctuations. This work underscores the potential of machine learning in advancing renewable energy systems, offering a computationally efficient and hardware-ready solution for off-grid applications with enhanced reliability and precision.
Smart Waste Management Framework for Green Cities: Integrating IoT, LoRa, and Deep Learning for Efficient Waste Classification and Management Suprava Ranjan Laha, Khalid Al Smadi, Ahmad Khader Habboush, Binod Kumar Pattanayak, Saumendra Pattnaik, et al. Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2025 Waste management is recognized as a crucial issue in modern civilization, requiring substantial effort and resources while significantly impacting various societal aspects. In sustainable cities striving to eliminate carbon emissions, implementing effective waste management strategies is prioritized. Tackling the three interconnected challenges in trash management, including preventing overflow, tracking bin locations, and designing efficient garbage collection routes, is complex. Current methods often provide incomplete solutions for all three aspects simultaneously. To overcome these difficulties, a smart waste management framework was proposed for environmentally friendly cities, combining the Internet of Things (IoT), long-range (LoRa) technology, and Deep Learning techniques. The proposed system utilized ultrasonic sensors equipped with a LoRa connection to facilitate the real-time monitoring of bin status. Prompt intervention to prevent overflow scenarios was facilitated. Integrating the Floyd-Warshall algorithm enhanced the garbage collection route efficiency by considering the bin fill levels and their exact locations. Deployment was made affordable and straightforward using inexpensive IoT components, including LoRa modules, facilitating smooth data transfer. In addition, incorporating RecycleCnn, implemented using Python with TensorFlow and Keras frameworks, enhanced the proposed framework by enabling automatic garbage classification with a 98% accuracy rate. This classification system facilitated the categorization of garbage into specific groups, improved recycling initiatives, and advocated for sustainable waste management methods. The proposed system used Arduino UNO microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors, and LoRaWAN technologies to provide a precise and effective method for assessing garbage levels and controlling waste distribution. This holistic approach to intelligent waste management seeks to provide cleaner, pollution-free urban environments by addressing problems arising from ineffective garbage collection methods. The proposed framework addressed trash management and recycling challenges while laying the foundation for sustainable development projects in smart towns like Khandagiri and Pokhariput. Also, it provided a comprehensive approach to garbage collection, categorization, and management.
IoT-Enabled Machine Learning for Comprehensive Water Quality Assessment in the Mahanadi River: A Multibelt Analysis of Seasonal Contamination and Predictive Modeling Suprava Ranjan Laha, Binod Kumar Pattanayak, Saurav Kumar, Mitrabinda Ray, Saumendra Pattnaik Journal of Engineering United Kingdom, 2025 The increase in water contamination in the Mahanadi River, exacerbated by industrial discharges, domestic effluents, and agricultural runoff, requires urgent and advanced water quality monitoring. This research integrates IoT‐based monitoring systems with the powerful XGBoost machine learning model to address the limitations of traditional evaluation methods. The Mahanadi River, a vital resource amid rapid urbanization and industrialization, requires sustainable water quality management. Cutting‐edge technology facilitates real‐time data collection on pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total coliforms (TCs). The study delves into intricate relationships between variables, geographical regions, belts, and seasonal changes, providing a nuanced understanding of the dynamics of water pollution. Incorporating sophisticated data analysis and machine learning empowers precise predictions and comprehensive insights. A multibelt assessment across industrial, residential, and agricultural regions during various seasons offers a holistic perspective on water quality fluctuations. XGBoost demonstrates remarkable efficiency, achieving 95% accuracy in predicting water quality categories. Comparative evaluations highlight the superiority of the proposed method in seasonal patterns, the calculation of the water quality index (WQI), and belt‐wise comparisons. This research is crucial in developing effective management strategies and sustaining conservation efforts for the Mahanadi River ecosystem. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, conservationists, and concerned residents, offering insight into the future of the river and contributing to the broader discourse on environmental preservation.
Energy Efficient Localization Technique Using Multilateration for Reduction of Spatially and Temporally Correlated Data in RFID System Lucy Dash, Binod Kumar Pattanayak, Suprava Ranjan Laha, Saumendra Pattnaik, Bibhuprasad Mohanty, et al. Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2024 RFID plays a vital role in data communication in multidimensional WSNs as it collects vast amounts of redundant data. The physical phenomena constitute the correlated observations in the space domain and generate spatial correlation. Periodic observations of sensor nodes result in a temporal correlation in the data. Reducing these spatio-temporal correlations in RFID surveillance data is necessary for the smooth functioning of the network. This paper proposes a Voronoi diagram-based spatio-temporal data redundancy elimination approach for RFID systems having multiple readers so only one reader will read every RFID tag depending on the distance between the tag and the center of the Minimum Enclosing Circle of the Voronoi cell to which the reader belongs. This approach eliminates spatial redundancy in the gathered data. Reading the RFID tags at regular time intervals larger than a chosen threshold value minimized temporal redundancy. In contrast to existing methods, the proposed technique is free from any false positive and false negative errors, with no loss of data and every tag being read by only one reader. Simulation of the proposed approach also established its superiority to the existing techniques in terms of these performance parameters.
