Banana plant farmers are facing severe problems of uprooting and breakage of their fully grown plants due to climatic (wind or other) effects. They find it difficult to safeguard their plants from such natural forces owing to their ignorance as to how and where failure could get started. In order to predict failure pattern of banana plants through a Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the mechanical properties of the plants are essential. Isotropic behavior is assumed for the banana plants and the Young’s modulus of elasticity, Poisson’s ratio, compressive strength and flexural strength of the material of stems of banana plants were determined.

A system and a method for assisting a deaf person in responding to a situation in a surrounding environment within a premise are provided. The proposed system is devices for helping deaf people understand sounds in the surrounding. It helps deaf people to do day to day activities more easily by getting alerts about different sounds that occur in the surroundings. An object of the present invention is to provide a system that alert deaf people when some specified sound occurs in the surroundings. The system includes video capturing device that are configured to capture a sequence of images and generate at least one video capturing the sequence of images to cover the plurality of appliances on detecting a sound or on determining a change in the state of the at least one appliance. When a sound is detected, a video is captured of that place and sent to a wearable device.

The present invention relates to the field of computer science, inclusive education, and artificial intelligence technology, in particular to dysgraphia or handwriting disability detection based on language biomarkers in the Indian language system. The system (102) works as a screening, intervention, and recommendation model in orthographically complex languages based on biomarkers. The system (102) collects handwriting samples (304) and handwriting parameters (306). The system (102) further acquires at least heartbeat, blood pressure, and brain activity data pertaining to handwriting activities (306). Further, the system (102) processes the collected samples and data to identify biomarkers that indicate some biological state or condition. In the present disclosure, the biomarkers are introduced with natural language processing and machine learning for detecting dysgraphia. Upon detection of dysgraphia, the system (102) provides feedback (318) to improve the handwriting of the user (104).
