Grounded IOT protocol for reliable computer vision in industrial applications
The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) enables collaborative service provisioning among interconnected devices by leveraging socially inspired trust relationships. This paper proposes a socially driven SIoT protocol for trust-aware service selection, enabling dynamic friendship formation and ranking among distributed service-providing devices based on observed execution behaviour.
Enhanced Release of Cyanotoxins in Freshwater Lakes: Insights on the Causal Mechanisms and Eutrophication Dynamics in the North Bank Plains of Brahmaputra Valley, Assam, India
- Shallow lakes in the sub-tropics are more prone to eutrophication and cyanotoxin pollution.
- Microcystin-LR is a commonly occurring cyanotoxin in water bodies and a potent toxin for living organisms.
- MC-LR depends on harmful algal blooms (HABs), trophic state index (TSI), and bio physicochemical variables of water bodies.
- Ecohydrological monitoring and epidemiological interventions will help in the systematic remediation of cyanotoxin pollution
Craft Ecology: Traditional Ironworking in the Chotanagpur Plateau and The Impact of Industrial Mining and Environmental Change
This paper examines the impact of environmental change on traditional ironworking societies in the Chotanagpur Plateau, in Eastern India, particularly in Purulia (West Bengal) and Hazaribagh and Chatra (Jharkhand). Part of the Iron Belt due to the rich mineral resources, traditionally these regions were home to communities of indigenous iron smelters and blacksmiths such as the Asur, Lohra, Karmakar, and Karmali.

A new species of Polyrhachis Smith from Garbhanga Reserve Forest, Assam, India, with a key to the Indian species of Polyrhachis mucronata group (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
The study describes a new species of Polyrhachis, or spiny ant, named Polyrhachis garbhangaensis sp. nov., from the state of Assam, northeastern India. This species was collected and identified during field sampling in the Garbhanga Reserve Forest, near the city of Guwahati in Assam. It represents a third Indian species of the P. mucronata species group in the subgenus Myrmhopla. Polyrhachis Smith, 1857 is a genus of ants, found widely across the Old-World tropics, with significant diversity across Southeast Asia.
