Continuous-Time Modelling of the Two-Input Fourth Order DC_DC Converter
Abstract: Two-input fourth-order integrated (TIFOI) converter is designed to process the power from two different sources Vg1 and Vg2. This converter facilitates regulation of dc-bus voltage and LVS current. In the power conversion process it performs bucking operation for first dc source Vg1, buck-boost operation for the second source Vg2. Power stage dynamics of the TIFOI converters is modeled using the state-space analysis. The system modelling plays an important role in …

Electroactive Graphene–Polymer Nanocomposites for Self-Sustaining and Multifunctional Flexible Devices
Abstract: Graphene–reinforced polymer–composites were developed and systematically investigated to explore their multifunctionality in flexible electronic applications. The study specifically aims to correlate graphene-induced structure–property–function relationships with electroactive performance and self-sustaining behaviour in flexible devices. The hybridization of electroactive polymers—polyaniline (PANI), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulphonate (PEDOT:PSS), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)—with graphene nanoplatelets enabled simultaneous enhancement of electroactivity, energy-harvesting, and sensing functionalities. Morphological studies confirmed uniform graphene dispersion at 5 wt.% loading, forming continuous …

Continuous Learning in Language Models: A Survey of Streaming Data Processing Techniques
Abstract: The integration of continual learning with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) represents a transformative step toward creating adaptive, intelligent systems capable of functioning effectively in ever-changing environments. Traditional LLMs are typically trained on large, pre-collected datasets, which limits their ability to evolve as new information emerges. Continual learning, in contrast, enables models to acquire new knowledge incrementally without the need for complete retraining, thereby supporting long-term …

Total Quality Management - A Developmental Perspective
Abstract: The Journey to Quality management is culture oriented, and requires intention, perfection and devotion. Say, an attitude to excellence is required. The mending of culture is subject to acceptance. It is difficult to orient, towards the new philosophy (as Deming clamours in his 14 points).This brief emphasises the importance of implementation of TQM through the perspective of various models. While their effectiveness is logistically poised, ultimately, the success of implementation …

Density Functional Theory (DFT): Understanding and Quantifying Molecular Structure of 2-D Materials
Abstract: Density Functional Theory (DFT) has emerged as a cornerstone in computational chemistry and materials science, offering a powerful framework for predicting electronic structures and properties of atoms, molecules, and solids. By focusing on electron density rather than wave functions, DFT simplifies the many-body problem through approximations like the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized-gradient approximations (GGAs). The Hohenberg-Kohn theorems establish the theoretical foundation, proving that ground-state properties are uniquely determined …
