Application of Block Chain & Artificial Intelligence in E-commerce supply chain to reduce product counterfeiting & increase transparency

Product counterfeiting is a major issue in today’s world. These days product counterfeiting leads to around 1.05 lac crore rupees in India per year. As per a report by business standard, if even 50% of product counterfeiting is stopped with authentication, monitored properly and governed, it can save 50,000 crore rupees per year in India itself, then think about whole world. This research paper is based on the use of block chain along with artificial intelligence to curb the problem of product counterfeiting and maintain the transparency. This research paper also demonstrates the use of blockchain using R studio as a platform. R is a programming language mostly for data analytics purposes. So, the implementation of blockchain in R can give a wide exposure to the data to be analyzed and suitable insights and forecasts can also be made. The research findings give a holistic picture of all the variables that affect the supply chain of E-commerce industry. This study helps the supplier side in curbing their loses and also the consumer side in receiving the genuine product that build trust among both the stakeholders

Existential Calling

His work on Kierkegaard and exposure to Existentialism motivated May to collaborate with Henri Ellenberger and Ernest Angel to produce a volume, finally published in 1958, that introduced Existential Psychology to the American profession and public. Existence received wide exposure in lay and professional worlds and remains an influential text. He then participated in the founding of the, a journal called Existential Inquiries, and an APA panel that was soon published as Existential Psychology (1961). These events marked a turning point in psychotherapeutic practice and in part led to the creation of a related movement—Humanistic Psychology.

Tackling the wanderer: the mouse parathyroids

<p>Parathyroid surgery in aching, groaning, moaning, presentation has a successful outcome with intraoperative PTH descalating to less than 50% of the preoperative value. The inferior parathyroids are commonly not at the expected location with respect to the thyroids. Surgical pointers and wide exposure are the key to quick access with minimal collateral tissue trauma. </p>

Automatic IQ Estimation Using Stylometric Methods

Stylometry is a study of text linguistic properties that brings together various fields of research such as statistics, linguistics, computer science and more. Stylometry methods have been used for historic investigation, as forensic evidence and an educational tool. This chapter presents a method to automatically estimate individual's IQ based on quality of writing and discusses challenges associated with it. The method utilizes various text features and NLP techniques to calculate indexes which are used to estimate individual's IQ. The results show a high degree of correlation between expected and estimated IQs in cases when IQ is within the average range. Obtaining good estimation for IQs on the high and low ends of the spectrum proves to be more challenging and this work offers several reasons for that. Over the years stylometry benefitted from wide exposure and interest among researches, however it appears that there aren't studies that focus on using stylometry methods to estimate individual's intelligence. Perhaps this work presents the first in-depth attempt to do so.
