The proposed control method effectively manages real-time fluctuations in grid conditions and the state-of-charge (SOC) of batteries, ensuring stable operation in both Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) modes. Utilizing a dq-reference frame-based decoupled controller with SOC feedback, the solution is rigorously validated through MATLAB/Simulink simulations. The design encompasses LCL filter modeling, DAB phase shift modulation, and battery interfacing under diverse loading scenarios. Simulation results reveal significant improvements in performance, highlighting the system's ability to maintain high efficiency during both charging and discharging phases. By enhancing the responsive-ness and stability of power exchange between EVs and the grid, this research aims to contribute to the development of advanced fast-charging infrastructure capable of supporting increasing EV adoption while optimizing overall electric grid performance. The findings underscore the potential of adaptive control strategies in ensuring reliable and efficient energy management within smart grid environments.

Sensors for water levels, rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture track real-time environmental parameters. Temperature readings ranged from 25°C to 31°C over the 8-day research, but soil moisture was continuously kept within ideal ranges. Water waste was reduced and timely refills were ensured by the water tank level sensor mechanism, which successfully maintained a threshold of 15 cm. Based on sensor data, intelligent algorithms control irrigation, minimize waterlogging, and maximize water usage. Convenience and operational efficiency are increased via remote management via the Blynk app. This intelligent irrigation system provides a sustainable and effective answer to contemporary agriculture by preserving water, improving crop health, and facilitating data- driven farming methods.

Authors - Harsh Raj, Kanishk Tewatia, Sumeet Gupta Abstract - Channel encoding plays a vital role in modern communication systems by maintaining data integrity and reducing the impact of noise. In this paper, we propose a hybrid model that combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to classify various channel encoders. This approach aims to improve feature extraction and classification performance compared to traditional CNN architectures. In typical scenarios, receivers are aware of the encoder’s type and configuration. However, in non-cooperative environments such as military communications, surveillance, and cognitive radio systems, this information is often limited or unavailable. To address this, we explore a deep learning-based method to identify four types of encoders: block, convolutional, Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH), and polar encoders. By integrating CNN and LSTM layers, our proposed model achieves up to 98% classification accuracy and demonstrates strong generalization. Comparative analysis reveals that the hybrid model outperforms conventional CNN-based methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.
Authors - Arunkumar V N, Agna.S. Nath, Aswathi.K. B Abstract - This study examines the disconnect between India’s cybersecurity policies and their real-world implementation, revealing systemic barriers to digital empowerment. Through qualitative analysis, the research identifies four critical challenges: inadequate awareness programs, urban-rural security divides, gender-based vulnerabilities, and educational gaps in cyber-literacy. Findings show urban users exhibit risky digital behaviours despite high connectivity, while rural populations avoid online services due to security fears. Women face compounded risks, with many dependent on male relatives for digital access. The education system largely fails to equip students with basic cybersecurity knowledge. However, community-led initiatives demonstrate promising alternatives. Localized, vernacular training programs have successfully enhanced digital safety awareness and reduced fraud incidents. These models highlight the importance of contextual, participatory approaches to cybersecurity education. The study argues for rethinking cybersecurity as an essential dimension of human development rather than just technical infrastructure. It proposes shifting from compliance-focused governance to capability-building frameworks that prioritize protective freedoms for all citizens. Key recommendations include integrating cybersecurity into school curricula, developing gender-responsive digital safety programs, and creating community-based "digital mitra" networks. By bridging policy intentions with ground realities, this research offers pathways to make India's digital growth truly inclusive and secure.

Authors - Shreya Kapadia, Payal D Joshi Abstract - In the era of IR, event detection has moved beyond simple keyword searches to utilize advanced techniques to extract relevant events from massive news article datasets. The rapid growth of news highlights the need for efficient information retrieval techniques to capture the most relevant events. Traditional lexical-based retrieval methods, such as Whoosh and BM25, are effective in keyword matching; however, they have some limitations in understanding the semantic events from the indexed text. To enhance this limitation, this study introduces a Transformer-based deep learning model for Natural Language Processing (NLP), such as BERT, capable of capturing contextual relationships and improving the relevance of data. This research also explores an optimized approach that seamlessly integrates Whoosh for efficient indexing, BM25 for probabilistic ranking, and BERT for neural re-ranking, designed to improve event detection performance. Additionally, Named Entity Recognition (NER) significantly enhances event extraction by accurately identifying real-world entities like individuals, locations, organizations.The results of this research indicate that the integration of lexical models(Whoosh and BM25) with neural ranking models(BERT) significantly enhances precision, recall, and relevance, thereby exceeding the performance of traditional retrieval techniques. In our experiments BERT achieved a relevance score of 62% ,outperforming BM25 , which scored 55%. This demonstrates superior ability to capture contextual and semantic relationship in text. In conclusion, this study articulates prospective directions for future research within the realm of event detection, improving the efficacy of information retrieval in rapidly evolving news environments.
