Experimental analysis of low-duty cycle campus deployed IoT network using LoRa technology

This study emphases on the implementation and evaluation of a LoRa network in indoor environments through an experimental setup at Amity University, Greater Noida (AUGN) campus. Aimed at scrutinizing the link-level performance and reliability of LoRa technology, extensive measurements have been conducted with prototype device integrating the SX1278 LoRa radio module at 433 MHz. The performance has been analysed in terms of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), and Packet Reception Rate (PRR) across various line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) scenarios. The results reveal that network performance is highly sensitive to parameter configurations, such as spreading factor (SF) and coding rate (CR). In LoS environments, SF = 9 and CR = 4/5 provided an RSSI of −89.12 dBm and an SNR of 9.91 dB, while highly obstructive areas saw optimal performance with SF = 7 and CR = 4/7. The study also identified configurations ensuring 100 % packet delivery accuracy and maximum throughput. This work stands out due to its thorough examination of LoRa for indoor IoT applications, notably addressing duty cycle restrictions, a topic often overlooked in existing literature. The valuable insights presented are crucial for maximizing the potential of LoRa in indoor environments with high population density. The findings strongly advocate for the use of LoRa for real-time environmental monitoring and innovative IoT applications within university campuses.

Traffic Volume Study and Analysis at Major Road Network in an Urban Area

Traffic volume is a significant method to study the time and movement of vehicles on the road. The study was carried out at six different sampling sites in Greater Noida. The current study effectively analyzed the peak hours of several roadways using traffic flow per hour. To perform this study, the traffic flow per hour in the research region was calculated using both manual and video camera (photographic) approaches. Additionally, PCU (Passenger Car Unit) data was utilized to examine how urban roadways were used. According to PCU data, there are a lot of two-wheelers in Greater Noida, with 206 PCUs in total. This indicates that a lot of two-wheelers use the city's roadways. The results of the PCUs show that the 2-wheelers are the major contributor to urban air pollution. As 2-wheelers use petrol as their fuel, the composition of their exhaust emissions is like that of gasoline- operated vehicle emissions.

Dominant Language, Urbanization and Lexical Depletion of Native Language: A Corpus Linguistics Study

India is home to hundreds of languages. Each Indian language is unique and an identity marker for individuals, communities, and their culture. The English language, though not native to India, has a significant presence in this vast country. One hundred and ninety years of British colonial rule over India had established English as the ‘dominant language’ in the country long ago. Rapid urbanization; and the consequent proliferation of telecommunication networks have further increased its dominance over Indian languages in the last few decades. The heavy code-mixing of English words in the Indian languages is reducing the richness of the vocabulary of the Indian languages by replacing their words with English words, thereby initiating ‘lexical depletion’ based language change in the native languages. This paper is an empirical study to map the code-mixing of English words in the Hindi language and its impact on the Hindi language, as observed in Greater Noida, a town that has seen rapid urbanization since 1991. This paper attempts to explain the implications of code-mixing on the Hindi lexicon by analysing a corpus of spoken language data using corpus-linguistics and computational linguistics methodologies.

A Comparative Study to Analyze the Effect of Lumbar Stabilization and Conventional Back Extension Exercises on Mechanical Pain in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain in Greater Noida

Lumbar discomfort is a major problem due to its harmful effects on health and high frequency in the general population. Depending on where and how long the pain lasts, there are three general categorizations for Lumbar discomfort: acute less than 6 weeks, sub-acute 6 to 12 weeks, and chronic more than 12 weeks. Several theories concerning the cause of nonspecific LBP feature poor posture, low body mass, hamstring flexibility, psychological discomfort, diminished trunk extensor endurance, and faulty muscular control of trunk. Pain in the lower back is a challenging illness which can result from injuries pertaining to the muscles and ligaments providing support vertebral column or from overuse or strain. One common treatment method for Lumbar discomfort is exercise therapy. This includes diverse forms of therapies including muscular strengthening, several forms of flexibility and stretching, and cardiovascular exercise for overall physical fitness. Normally, the stabilization system's job is to give the spine enough stability to meet the demands of changing circumstances immediately due to the posture changes with static and dynamic loads. As Per traditional understanding, spinal stabilization primarily relies on spinal biomechanics, the intervertebral disc, spinal ligaments, and osseous components. The stabilization and mobility of the lumbar spine can be facilitated by any muscle that exits the lumbar region. However, according to certain research, the lumbar multifidus and transverses abdominis muscles are very crucial for the stability of the lumbar segment. There is preliminary data indicating that those with long-term Lumbar discomfort do not properly recruit their core muscles and display core weakness13. Standard Exercise for back extension and exercises for lumbar stability both are used to treat low back discomfort. Thus, an effort is undertaken to compare and investigate the benefits of traditional back extension exercises and lumbar stabilization activities in patients with chronic Lumbar discomfort.

Assessment of Its Implementation on Safety on Yamuna Expressway

With the promise of fast connectivity between Greater Noida and Agra, the Yamuna Expressway represents modern infrastructure in India. Amidst all this splendor, though, is a grave worry: security. In order to reduce hazards and improve safety standards, this article investigates the complex network of obstacles that has been encountered while implementing safety measures on the highway. Numerous accidents, including fatalities, have been a recurring problem on the Yamuna Expressway since its opening. The expressway's relatively straight and smooth construction makes it easy for drivers to speed and act irresponsibly, which is the main cause of these incidents. Drivers disregard safety protocols and speed limits with complete disregard for the consequences, which is worsened by the lack of effective enforcement of traffic regulations. The absence of necessary safety elements is one of the primary obstacles to guaranteeing safety on the Yamuna Expressway. Poor lighting, inadequate signage, and restricted emergency services are some of the initial shortcomings that have greatly impacted drivers' ability to navigate safely, especially in bad weather or at night. There have been ongoing attempts to resolve safety problems, but the results have been mixed. The expressway's safety infrastructure has been strengthened by the implementation of measures such as crash barriers, better signage, expanded CCTV surveillance, and more police patrolling. Unfortunately, problems with corruption within law enforcement agencies, a lack of staff, and limited resources make it difficult to apply these restrictions effectively. The Yamuna Expressway can only be made safer with a comprehensive plan. A culture of safety among drivers can be greatly enhanced by public awareness programs that promote responsible driving and emphasize the repercussions of reckless driving. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) integrate cutting-edge tech to improve traffic management and accident prevention via tools like speed cameras, automatic toll collecting, and real-time traffic monitoring. The Yamuna Expressway is an impressive example of India's infrastructure, yet it will remain unfulfilled until the critical problem of safety is resolved. The Yamuna Expressway has the potential to become a model of safe and efficient transportation for the millions of people who use it every day if we recognize the problems, find lasting solutions, and encourage everyone to do their part to keep everyone safe.
