Search Engine queries invariably lead to overwhelming information, parts of it relevant and some others irrelevant. Often the information provided can be conflicting, ambiguous, and inconsistent contributing to the loss of credibility of the content. In the past, researchers have proposed approaches for credibility assessment and enumerated factors influencing the credibility of web pages. In this work, we detailed a WEBCred framework for automated genre-aware credibility assessment of web pages. We developed a tool based on the proposed framework to extract web page features instances and identify genre a web page belongs to while assessing it's Genre Credibility Score ($GCS$). We validated our approach on ‘Information Security’ dataset of 8,550 URLs with 171 features across 7 genres. The supervised learning algorithm, Gradient Boosted Decision Tree classified genres with 88.75% testing accuracy over 10 fold cross-validation, an improvement over the current benchmark. We also examined our approach on ‘Health’ domain web pages and had comparable results. The calculated $GCS$ correlated 69% with crowdsourced Web Of Trust ($WOT$) score and 13% with algorithm based Alexa ranking across 5 Information security groups. This variance in correlation states that our $GCS$ approach aligns with human way ($WOT$) as compared to algorithmic way (Alexa) of web assessment in both the experiments.","PeriodicalId":36690,"journal":{"name":"Platonic Investigations","volume":"56 1","pages":"1088-1097"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76769773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we study the impact of substrate curvature, due to buckling, on the threshold voltage shift in TFTs. The buckled structure is realized by texturing the gate metal layer in the form of periodic striations oriented along different directions. Preliminary studies under constant gate and drain bias indicate that the buckled TFTs suffer from a higher shift compared to planar devices. It is also observed that the angle of orientation of buckling influences the threshold voltage shift. It has been proposed that the observed trends in the experimental data are due to the vital role played by the contact resistance in buckled devices.","PeriodicalId":36690,"journal":{"name":"Platonic Investigations","volume":"72 1","pages":"78-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78034416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last two decade, several algorithms have been applied successfully for power quality analysis, condition monitoring and biomedical signal processing. However, in the most of the studies the research has been limited to specific algorithm and application. In this paper, the authors present a Time-Frequency analysis tool developed for the study of Pattern Recognition problem. It was developed using MATLAB GUI with several Time-frequency algorithms such as S-Transform, Hyperbolic S-Transform, and TT Transform for comparative studies. The developed tool has been successfully applied for the pattern recognition of Power System Transients. Simulations were performed to study the efficacy of the tool for various power system transients such as Load Switching, Motor Starting, Lightning, Capacitor Energization and Back-to-Back Switching. A simple rule-based was developed using Time-Frequency features for detection and classification of various power system transients. The tool also maps the power system transients on CBEMA/ITC curve highlighting the nature of disturbance. The simulation results demonstrate that developed pattern recognition tool was efficient and useful for the study of partial discharges and acoustic signals for developing smart health monitoring system.","PeriodicalId":36690,"journal":{"name":"Platonic Investigations","volume":"44 1","pages":"1661-1666"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78418420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There has been a massive proliferation in the number of policy taken by the drivers over the year. The traditional vehicular insurance processes used by the insurance companies rely on analyzing the history of the behaviors of the drivers for deciding the suitable premium amount to be paid by the vehicles. Usage-Based Insurance (UBI), which is based on telematics, turns out to be a modern and effective approach for providing insurance to the vehicles. Unlike the traditional approach, the premiums in the UBI are calculated based on the current behavior of the drivers. Moreover, there exists a lack of transparency in the processing of the claims, which not only results in delays of receiving the claims but also leads to a number of frauds. Decentralized technology such as blockchain turns out to be an effective solution for the problems mentioned above. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based framework for vehicular UBI and incentives in ITS. We demonstrate and analyze the feasibility of our work with proper experimental testbed setup.","PeriodicalId":36690,"journal":{"name":"Platonic Investigations","volume":"40 1","pages":"1202-1207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75398640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pisciculture in general involves challenging tasks of counting and monitoring fish in natural or nature like, man-made habitats such as inland fisheries for breeding, feeding and sorting purposes. These are presently achieved using conventional methods that are inefficient when implemented in large-scale commercial productions. To overcome such difficulties and improve the efficiency of the processes, images of fish and fish seeds are captured in natural murky water habitats through a vision sensor on board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In this research paper, a deep instance segmentation algorithm called Mask R-CNN along with GOTURN tracking algorithm is employed for real time fish detection and tracking. A comparison study is also carried out (i) fish detection on high resolution images (ii) fish detection on high resolution image multi-region parallel processing (iii) fish detection on high resolution image multi-region parallel processing with tracking. The results are found to be accurate with image multi-region parallel processing along with tracking, with an F1 score of 0.91 at 16 frames per seconds on in-land fishes environment.","PeriodicalId":36690,"journal":{"name":"Platonic Investigations","volume":"68 1","pages":"778-783"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72867970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mutual coupling between the elements is also taken into consideration. The channel of length 1 km is excited at the base by a current source model defined by Heidler function. The simulation results show that the peak value of the field is different at different locations. The magnitude of the field is found to decrease with the increase in distance between the strike point and the observation point. With the increase in height of the building it is found that the magnitude of the field inside the building is decreasing.
