 Abstract

The rise of mobile money has become a significant catalyst for financial inclusion, particularly in economies where access to conventional banking services is restricted. This investigation explores the elements such as user confidence, quality infrastructure, security transactions, and perceived ubiquity that affect the adoption of mobile money and its effects on financial inclusion. The study adopted a quantitative research approach using a survey-based method to collect data. The target respondents are mobile money users, and banking consumers in Hyderabad. A convenient Sampling is used to ensure diverse representation. The study employs a regression analysis method to assess how user confidence, quality infrastructure, security transactions, and perceived ubiquity influence the adoption of mobile money. The results indicate that each of these factors significantly enhances adoption, with perceived ubiquity exerting the most substantial influence. Moreover, the findings indicate that the adoption of mobile money plays a crucial role in improving financial inclusion, granting unbanked and underbanked communities' access to vital financial services.

Road sign detection is an important module in intelligent transportation systems, and it is widely applied in driver assistance and autonomous driving technology. In this paper, we introduce a power-efficient, real-time road sign detection system based on a Binarized Neural Network (BNN) deployed on an FPGA-based PYNQ-Z2 board. With binary activations and weights, BNN reduces the computational complexity and power significantly, making it an ideal candidate for embedded vision systems. The system is simulated and tested in Xilinx Vivado and implemented in real-time on the PYNQ-Z2 board. The outcome demonstrates high detection accuracy, low latency, and low power, which implies its applicability in smart traffic systems.In addition, PYNQ- Z2 use improves education benefits and developer convenience through the ability to provide a Python-friendly setting for embedded applications. This provides opportunities for extended development and testing of BNN architectures in low- power vision-based systems, underscoring the synergy between hardware-level efficiency and ease of software development.

 Abstract

In construction industry natural aggregate is the most popular constituent and mainly used in concrete, road construction, ballast on railway track, etc. In concrete construction upto 50-60% and in road construction 75-80% the aggregate is used. But the natural aggregates are natural resources and it is limited in country. As we know that India is a developing country and for different Therefore to find an alternative to aggregate is very important for future construction work. While finding alternative to the aggregate the waste material from steel industry resembles the same characteristics as aggregate. So steel slag get extracted in the process of steel manufacturing as a byproduct in molten form. As it is generated at very high temperature due to this after cooling it becomes strong and porous in structure. Though it is very strong it possesses mechanical properties such as Impact value, Abrassion value, Crushing value, etc. But due to porous structure it absorbs water excessively due to this its volume gets change which creates problem in use as aggregate. To solve it should have to give surface treatment with chemicals. But normally and cost effective is to giving the coating of cement paste and oil paint. So in this project we will going to find out the optimum replacement of steel slag in aggregate also the result of treated steel slag.

Abstract: Latent prints is an impression of the friction skin of the fingers or palm of the hands, sole of the foot and lips that has been transferred to another surface. Latent prints are vital & unique to identify an individual. Our invention relates to a latent prints powder. The currently available latent prints are usually ineffective if the latent print left is not within first week after placing the latent. The latent print visualization by using chemicals are toxic and potential health hazards. To overcome this problem it is provided that the Human hair are made into a powder form for the development of latent print powder for better visualization. The powder will adheres to the residue deposited from the fingers, palm, sole and lips on to the surface. Our powder method, which is simple, non toxic to human health, cheap in nature, available in black color, and as well can be utilized for the development of latent prints on various surface. This will plays a significant role in identifying the criminals in crime scene by analyzing old prints.

 Abstract

This study presents a performance investigation of a window air conditioner operating with R-22 refrigerant. A custom-built test rig incorporating a psychometric chamber was developed to simulate real-world conditions and evaluate key performance parameters. Experiments were conducted under varying load conditions, including 100% sensible and mixed sensible-latent loads. Parameters such as cooling capacity, Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), and Coefficient of Performance (COP) were measured using enthalpy difference methods. Results showed that performance varied significantly with load type, with the highest EER observed under the enthalpy method. This setup proves effective for validating manufacturer ratings and optimizing AC performance.

Customary International Law (CIL) plays a crucial role in both the international legal system and the domestic legal framework of India. This abstract compares the application and recognition of CIL within these two systems. Internationally, CIL emerges from consistent state practice coupled with opinio juris, binding all states regardless of treaty ratification. India, as a dualist state, generally requires domestic incorporation for CIL to be directly enforceable. However, Indian courts have increasingly acknowledged CIL's significance, interpreting domestic laws in conformity with established international norms and principles, particularly concerning human rights and environmental law. While direct enforcement remains limited, CIL serves as a valuable interpretative aid, influencing judicial decisions and shaping domestic policy. The comparison highlights the varying degrees of interaction, with the international system placing CIL at its core, and India gradually integrating CIL into its domestic legal landscape through judicial interpretation and legislative action. This nuanced engagement demonstrates India's commitment to international law while upholding its sovereign authority.
