Abstract Soil classification is one of the emanating topics and major concerns in many countries. As the population has been increasing at a rapid pace, the demand for food also increases dynamically. Common approaches used by agriculturalists are inadequate to satisfy the rising demand, and thus they have hindered soil cultivation. There comes a demand for computer-related soil classification methods to support agriculturalists. This study introduces a Gradient-Based Optimizer and Deep Learning (DL) for Automated Soil Classification (GBODL-ASC) technique. The presented GBODL-ASC technique identifies various kinds of soil using DL and computer vision approaches. In the presented GBODL-ASC technique, three major… More >

Abstract Renewable energy is a safe and limitless energy source that can be utilized for heating, cooling, and other purposes. Wind energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources. Power fluctuation of wind turbines occurs due to variation of wind velocity. A wind cube is used to decrease power fluctuation and increase the wind turbine’s power. The optimum design for a wind cube is the main contribution of this work. The decisive design parameters used to optimize the wind cube are its inner and outer radius, the roughness factor, and the height of the wind turbine hub. A Gradient-Based… More >
