Floods are among the deadliest natural calamities, devastating ecosystems and human lives worldwide. In India, Bihar is a state grappling with economic hardships and faces severe agricultural devastation due to recurring floods, destroying crops and natural resources, which significantly impacts local farmers. This research addresses the critical need to deeply understand the flood dynamics of selected study areas. This research presents a case study that focuses on leveraging Remote Sensing tools and Machine Learning techniques for comprehensive flood mapping and damage analysis in Gopalganj District, Bihar, India, using remote sensing data. More specifically, this research presents three major objectives: (i) Flood damage mapping and change analysis before and after the flood using the Sentinel-2 satellite dataset, (ii) Evaluation of the impact of integrating spectral indices on the accuracy of classification, (iii) Identification of most robust predictor spectral indices for the classification. The Sentinel-2 satellite dataset encompasses 13 bands with resolutions of 10m, 20m, and 60m. Here, four spectral bands (NIR, Red, Green, and Blue) with the finest resolution of 10m have been selected for this study. These bands are integrated with four spectral indices, namely Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), MNDWI (Modified NDWI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI). Two ML classifiers, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) have been employed for pixel-based supervised classification. Results have shown that RF outperformed and worked well in extracting water bodies and flood-damaged areas effectively. The results demonstrated that RF obtained (Overall Accuracy (OA)= 89.54% and kappa value (ka) = 0.872) and SVM reported (OA= 87.69%, ka= 0.849) for pre-crisis data, whereas, for post-crisis, RF reported (OA=91.54%, ka = 0.897), SVM reported (OA= 89.77%, ka= 0.875). It was reported that the integration of spectral indices improved the OA by +3.41% and +2.86% using RF and SVM, respectively. The results of this study demonstrated that the waterbody area increased from 12.72 to 88.23 km2, as shown by the RF classifier. The variable importance computation results indicated that MNDWI is the most important predictor variable, followed by NDWI. This study recommends the use of these two predictor variables for flood mapping.

This study investigates the impact of language complexity on Keystroke Dynamics (KD) and its implications for accurate KD-based user authentication system performance in smartphones. This research meticulously analyzes keystroke patterns using 160 volunteers, including both frequently typed and infrequently typed texts. Our analysis of 12 anomaly detection algorithms reveals that a simple text-based KD system consistently outperforms its complex counterpart with superior Equal Error Rates (EERs). As a result, the Scaled Manhattan anomaly detector achieves an EER of 2.48% for simple text and an improvement over 2.98% for complex text. The incorporation of soft biometrics further enhances algorithmic performance, emphasizing strategies to build resilience into KD-based user authentication systems. Throughout this study, the importance of text complexity is emphasized, and innovative pathways are introduced to strengthen KD-based user authentication paradigms.

3D printing is a rapidly growing technology with features of enhanced customizability, reduced errors, zero material waste, reduced costs, and quick turnaround times. In this work, the data were collected from the Derwent Innovation and Web of Science databases for patent and publication search, respectively. The results were critically analysed and correlated with the global and Indian market growth. USA (with 5 out of the top ten patent contributing companies), China, Germany, France, and Taiwan were determined to be the top countries with the maximum number of patents on 3D printing technology. Both patents and publications exhibited consistent growth until 2011. From 2012 onwards, the rate of patent filings began to surpass that of academic publications, indicating a shift in the dynamics. This trend has continued over the years, leading to a notable difference between the number of patents (19,322) and publications (10,571) in the year 2022. India has been found to rank 8th in 3D printing innovation and research, globally. In this study, the global and Indian market growth has been observed and the opportunities and challenges for the Indian market have been critically studied.
三维打印是一项快速发展的技术,具有增强可定制性、减少误差、零材料浪费、降低成本和快速周转时间等特点。在这项工作中,我们分别从 Derwent Innovation 和 Web of Scienced 数据库中收集了专利和出版物检索数据。美国(在贡献专利最多的十家公司中有五家)、中国、德国、法国和中国台湾被确定为拥有最多 3D 打印技术专利的国家。直到 2011 年,专利和出版物都呈现出持续增长的态势。从 2012 年起,专利申请率开始超过学术论文发表率,这表明动态发生了变化。这一趋势持续了数年,到 2022 年,专利数量(19,322 项)和论文发表数量(10,571 篇)之间将出现显著差异。本研究观察了全球和印度市场的增长情况,并对印度市场面临的机遇和挑战进行了深入研究。
