Even though it is still in its early stage of development, AI has proved beyond human intelligence. DeepMind’s AlphaGo is an illustration of how the AI could provide amazing benefits, particularly in industries such as manufacturing. At the moment there are attempts to connect AI technology with precision engineering and manufacturing in order to change classical production methods. This research paper focuses on some notable milestones that have already been attained in the realization of AI for manufacturing and how it will change the face of any manufacturing facility. There are several challenges in the AI manufacturing application; these include data acquisition and management, human resources, infrastructure, security risks associated with trust issues as well implantation of hurdles. For instance, the collection of data required to train AI models can be challenging for rare events or expensive in large datasets that require labeling. The introduction of AI models into industrial control systems can also pose risks to the security, and some players in industry may be reluctant to use AI because they don’t trust it or understand what is going on. However, these hindrances do not deter AI from becoming an effective solution for predictive maintenance and quality assurance in the sector of manufacturing. Therefore, one should ponder over each manufacturing case and its needs before deciding if or how to adopt AI. The aim of this research paper is to analyze the current progress, problems and prospects in AI-ML across manufacturing entities. Its aim is to enhance knowledge of accessible technologies, support decision-making in choosing appropriate AI/ML technologies and determine where further research needs are possible centered on latest developments. Initial findings indicate that the combination of AI/ML technologies with advanced data collection capabilities from manufacturing networks can produce massive cost and efficiency gains. Though the accurate representation of complex phenomenon in manufacturing is problematic, AI can revolutionize this industry. Other areas where AI is intensively studied include medical image analysis, bioinformatics, recommendation systems and finance. Many notable AI products such as Amazon’s Alexa, IBM Watson and DeepMind AlphaGo have already integrated into our daily use. To address limitations such as interpretability and degraded performance with insufficient data, several sub-branches of deep learning are currently researched namely; Physics - Informed Deep Learning (PIDL), Explainable AI(XAI), Domain Adaptation, (DA) Active Leaning (AL), Multi Task Learning MTL, Graph Neural Network GNN. Convergence of AI with other engineering industries have a potential issue that should not be ignored. The aim is to enable an effective use of AI by the precision engineering and manufacturing community for future-oriented manufacture.Item Core Competence of Successful Corporates(International Journal of Law Management & Humanities, 2024)Core Competence is the uniqueness of a company that makes it create new products and services to add value to the organisation.

A company has to be very careful in designing its sales promotion techniques. It has to consider the variations in the cultures, sentiments and wants. Different options and values of other markets are focused on promoting the products and services. The sales promotion mix components must be proportionally used for optimal results. A company has to decide which product promotional strategy is ideal for its product: push, pull, or a combination of both. This article elaborated on the wrong promotional strategy adopted by many corporates to market their products. Ultimately, the products failed in the market due to the consumers' rejection, leading to enormous losses for the companies. Some products of reputed companies fail due to the wrong product promotion strategy. Analysing these failed models will enrich the corporate's knowledge of applying marketing strategies. The sales promotion strategy should match the product's quality and express the product's natural features, as discussed in this article; different sales promotion strategies and styles are available before the manufacturers. They choose the right strategy and promotion method to match the product and market. If the product and promotion strategy are perfectly matched, then the company can take the synergic value of profits.Item ct-DNA compaction by nanoparticles formed by silica and gemini surfactants having hydroxyl group substituted spacers: In vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo gene uptake to cancer cells(Journal of Photochemistry & Photobiology, B: Biology, 2024-09-15) Aggrawal, RishikaHybrid nanoparticles formed by Silica (SiO2) coated with cationic gemini surfactants with variable hydroxyl group substituted spacers, 12-4(OH)-12,2Br− and 12-4(OH)2-12,2Br− have shown a great extent of compaction of calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) compared to conventional counterpart cationic surfactant, dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). Study shows not only the hydrophobicity of the spacer but also the hydrogen bonding interactions between the hydroxyl group substituted spacer and DNA have a great role in DNA compaction. 12-4(OH)2-12,2Br− is more efficient in compacting ct-DNA compared to 12-4(OH)-12,2Br− due to the stronger binding of the former with ct-DNA than the latter. While 12-4(OH)-12,2Br− makes 50 % ct-DNA compaction at its 0.63 μM concentration in the presence of SiO2 nanoparticles, the same % of compaction can be achieved at a concentration as low as 0.25 μM of 12-4(OH)2-12,2Br− . However, DTAB makes 50 % ct-DNA compaction at a concentration as high as 7.00 μM under the same condition. Therefore, the present systems address the very common challenge, i.e., cytotoxicity due to cationic surfactants. The system of 12-4(OH)2-12,2Br− coated SiO2 nanoparticles displays the maximum cell viability (≥90 %), causing the least cell death in the mouse fibroblast cells (NIH3T3) cell lines compared to the cell viability of ≤80 % for DTAB. 12-4(OH)2-12,2Br− coated SiO2 nanoparticles system has presented excellent in vitro cellular uptake of genes on mouse mammary gland adenocarcinoma (4T1) cells after incubating for 3 h and 6 h. In vivo study shows that 12-4(OH)2-12,2Br− coated SiO2 nanoparticles system takes the highest amount of ct-DNA in cells and tumors in a time- dependent manner. The ex vivo studies using different organs of the mice demonstrate that the tumor sites in the breast of the mice are most affected by these formulations. Cytotoxicity assays and cellular uptake studies suggest that the present systems can be used for potential applications for gene delivery and oncological therapies.Item Design and Analysis of Manual Pallet Stacker by Using FEM Method(Proceedings of Third International Conference in Mechanical and Energy Technology, 2024-08-03) Pandey, RohitIn this study, we found that the stress of S-460, aluminum alloy, and carbon fiber were 36.7, 36.81, and 36.76 MPa, respectively. The total deformations of S-460, aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, and other materials are 3.02, 8.4, and 2.0 mm. Looking at our various products of all materials, we choose composite material because it is light, heavy, and has very high deformation and stress under 1000 kg load. This is a simple static analysis using a single load step on the angle shown in Fig. 5.2. The bottom of the right pin hole is subjected to a conical high load, while the entire circumference of the left pin hole is limited (welded). The purpose of this question is to introduce ANSYS analysis techniques. This figure shows the length of a right angle. A36 steel with a Poisson's ratio of 0.27 and a Young's modulus of 30E6 psi is used to manufacture the bracket. The problem can be classified as plane stress because the cantilever is confined to the xy plane and is thin in the z direction relative to the length of the x and y sections (1/2 in. thick). A 2D model, nodes, points, and the model that was used to construct it are used to create the mesh. (It is optional to create nodes and points directly in ANSYS.) The stresses of carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, and S-460 were determined to be 36.7, 36.81, and 36.76 MPa, respectively, in this investigation. The total variations of S-460, aluminum alloy, CFRP, and other materials are 3.02, 8.4, and 2.0 mm. View our wide range of products from all materials. I will choose composite materials because they are light and heavy and have very high stress and strain at 1000 kg load. This is a simple static analysis using a single angular load step shown in Figure C.2. A high cone load is applied to the bottom of the right hole and the entire circumference of the left hole is fixed (welded). The purpose of this question is to introduce ANSYS analysis methods. This figure shows the length of a right angle. A36 steel with a Poisson's ratio of 0.27 and a Young's modulus of 30E6 psi is used to manufacture the bracket. The problem can be categorized as plane stress because the cantilever is confined to the xy plane and is longer and thinner in the z direction than the x and y parts (which are each 1/2 in. thick). Nodes, elements, and the model that was used to construct them are used to build 2D models. (It is optional to create nodes and points directly in ANSYS.)Item Design, simulation, analysis and fabrication of a modular face shield for the end users with skull deformity(IEEE, 2024-06-13) Thiruchitrambalam, M.Craniosynostosis leads to unusual skull shapes in the infants.

Empirical Evidence from India Using Dynamic Panel Data Analysis(The Indian Economic Journal, 2024) Kumar, SarikaThe aim of this research is to examine the impact of gender diversity and female leadership position on the firm performance of Indian listed firms participating in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities. Available research has focused on a small sample of firms and considered ‘gender diversity’ as the only variable. Bearing this in mind, this study focusses on the leadership positions females hold on corporate board along with gender diversity affecting the firm performance measures for the sample of M&A participating firms, as M&As lead to major restructuring of the board. The ‘gender diversity’ is measured with the number of females present on corporate board as directors, ‘leadership position’ is measured with females holding the position either as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Chairperson on the board. The study employs panel data set for Indian non-financial National Stock Exchange listed M&A participating firms for the period 2013–2020. Using a system of GMM dynamic panel estimates, the study analyses the relationship between gender diversity and females’ varied leadership position on the firm performance measures, that is, return on asset, Tobin’s q. The findings reveal that there is a positive association between gender diversity and firm performance measures. Females holding the top leadership positions as either CEO or Chairperson on the board positively impact the firm performance measures. This study adds to the existing literature on gender diversity at the board level and M&A literature in the Indian context.Item Exploration of OpenCV for Hand Gesture Recognition Techniques - A Review(Nanotechnology Perceptions, 2024) Meher, KunalThis paper reviews hand gesture recognition techniques by leveraging the strengths of OpenCV and TensorFlow, two of the most widely used libraries in computer vision and deep learning.
