Travel Package Booking Application with API Bot

These days we are witnessing many mobile applications based on the recommended systems, which have become a great technology which is been used by the various mobile applications according to the situation. Recommendation provided by the mobile application is a key element for the person who is traveling to several places. For any tourist information application contextual information is much needed to guide the user on his interests this can be achieved by the Context-aware computing. Which provides the user most interactive system with the suggestions provided by it based on the input from the user in a certain location, here context includes the user's mental, social, physical environments. To achieve this contextual information, we will design and implement the context-aware user interface based on the user for which we have to study the user and design a rich user interface. The final outcome for which users have the satisfaction when using context-aware functionality will be much better than non-context-aware application.

Interference-controlled magnetic bound states and subgap transport in a Square--octagon superconductor

The square--octagon lattice provides a useful setting for studying magnetic adatoms because its multisublattice structure allows different adsorption geometries to probe distinct combinations of the host electronic states. We study magnetic adatoms in an $s$-wave superconducting square--octagon lattice, focusing on the interplay between adsorption geometry, narrow and flat-band states, and subgap transport. We find that the large spectral weight associated with a flat band does not necessarily imply strong impurity--host coupling. For symmetric square-hollow adsorption, destructive interference strongly suppresses the overlap with the flat-band manifold, whereas top and octagon-hollow adsorption retain substantial overlap. This selectivity is reflected in the magnetic bound states, with the square-hollow channel supporting a predominantly atomic state, while the top and octagon-hollow states are strongly hybridized with the superconducting host. The effect develops continuously as the relevant band becomes flatter and remains pronounced in a material-motivated parameter regime. In a normal--superconductor--normal geometry, these differences are also reflected in the nonlocal subgap conductance. At a representative exchange splitting, square-hollow adsorption suppresses the low-bias conductance relative to the clean device, whereas octagon-hollow adsorption enhances it, with the square-hollow response showing a much sharper dependence on exchange splitting. Our results show that the magnetic-adatom response in narrow and flat-band superconductors is governed by the available spectral weight and by the symmetry and wave-function structure of the impurity--host hybridization.

Phonon dynamics and chiral modes in the two-dimensional square-octagon lattice

Chiral phonons, originally identified in two-dimensional hexagonal lattices and later extended to kagome, square, and other lattices, have been extensively studied as manifestations of broken inversion and time-reversal symmetries in vibrational dynamics. In this work, we investigate the vibrational dynamics of the two-dimensional square-octagon lattice using a spring-mass model with central-force interactions. The model incorporates mass contrast and variable coupling strengths among nearest, next-nearest, and third-nearest neighbors. From the dynamical matrix, we obtain the phonon dispersion relations and identify tunable phononic band gaps governed by both mass and spring-constant ratios. The angular dependence of phase and group velocities is analyzed to reveal the pronounced anisotropy inherent to this lattice geometry. We also examine the distinctive features of the square-octagon geometry, including flat-band anomalies in the density of states and anisotropic sound propagation induced by longer-range couplings. In addition, we explore the emergence of chiral phonons by introducing a time reversal symmetry-breaking term in the dynamical matrix, and to elucidate their optical signatures, we construct a minimal model to study infrared circular dichroism arising from chiral phonon modes.

Possible realization of hyperbolic plasmons in a few-layered rhenium disulfide

The in-plane structural anisotropy in low-symmetric layered compound rhenium disulfide ($\text{ReS}_2$) makes it a candidate to host and tune electromagnetic phenomena specific for anisotropic media. In particular, optical anisotropy may lead to the appearance of hyperbolic plasmons, a highly desired property in optoelectronics. The necessary condition is a strong anisotropy of the principal components of the dielectric function, such that at some frequency range, one component is negative and the other is positive, i.e., one component is metallic, and the other one is dielectric. Here, we study the effect of anisotropy in $\text{ReS}_2$ and show that it can be a natural material to host hyperbolic plasmons in the ultraviolet frequency range. The operating frequency range of the hyperbolic plasmons can be tuned with the number of $\text{ReS}_2$ layers.

COVID-19 Infection Exposure to Customers Shopping during Black Friday

The outbreak of COVID-19 within the last two years has resulted in much further investigation into the safety of large events that involve a gathering of people. This study aims to investigate how COVID-19 can spread through a large crowd of people shopping in a store with no safety precautions taken. The event being investigated is Black Friday, where hundreds or thousands of customers flood stores to hopefully receive the best deals on popular items. A mock store was created, separated into several different shopping sections, and represented using a 2-D grid where each square on the grid represented a 5 feet by 5 feet area of the mock store. Customers were simulated to enter the store, shop for certain items, check out, and then leave the store. A percentage of customers were chosen to be infective when they entered the store, which means that they could spread infection quantum to other customers. Four hours of time was simulated with around 6,000 customers being included. The maximum distance exposure could be spread (2 feet-10 feet), the minimum time of exposure needed to become infected (2 - 15 minutes), and the total percentage of customers who started as infective (1% - 5%) were all changed and their effects on the number of newly infected customers were measured. It was found that increasing the maximum exposure distance by 2 feet resulted in between a 20% to 250% increase in newly infected customers, depending on the distances being used. It was also found that increasing the percentage of customers who started as infective from 1% to 2% and then to 5% resulted in a 200% to 300% increase in newly infected customers.

Effect of population migration and punctuated lockdown on the spread of infectious diseases

One of the critical measures to control infectious diseases is a lockdown. Once past the lockdown stage in many parts of the world, the crucial question now concerns the effects of relaxing the lockdown and finding the best ways to implement further lockdown(s), if required, to control the spread. With the relaxation of lockdown, people migrate to different cities and enhance the spread of the disease. This work presents the population migration model for n-cities and applies the model for migration between two and three cities. The reproduction number is calculated, and the effect of the migration rate is analyzed. A punctuated lockdown is implemented to simulate a protocol of repeated lockdowns that limits the resurgence of infections. A damped oscillatory behavior is observed with multiple peaks over a period.

Immunomodulatory role of black tea in the mitigation of cancer induced by inorganic arsenic

We present a model analysis of the tumor and normal cell growth under the influence of a carcinogenic agent, an immunomdulator (IM) and variable influx of immune cells including relevant interactions. The tumor growth is facilitated by carcinogens such as inorganic arsenic while the IM considered here is black tea (Camellia sinesnsis). The model with variable influx of immune cells is observed to have considerable advantage over the constant influx model, and while the tumor cell population is greatly mitigated, normal cell population remains above healthy levels. The evolution of normal and tumor cells are computed from the proposed model and their local stabilities are investigated analytically. Numerical simulations are performed to study the long term dynamics and an estimation of the effects of various factors is made. This helps in developing a balanced strategy for tumor mitigation without the use of chemotherapeutic drugs that usually have strong side-effects.

Vulnerability Management for an Enterprise Resource Planning System

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are commonly used in technical educational institutions(TEIs). ERP systems should continue providing services to its users irrespective of the level of failure. There could be many types of failures in the ERP systems. There are different types of measures or characteristics that can be defined for ERP systems to handle the levels of failure. Here in this paper, various types of failure levels are identified along with various characteristics which are concerned with those failures. The relation between all these is summarized. The disruptions causing vulnerabilities in TEIs are identified .A vulnerability management cycle has been suggested along with many commercial and open source vulnerability management tools. The paper also highlights the importance of resiliency in ERP systems in TEIs.
