The COVID-19 pandemic resulted an increase in teleworking to ensure that businesses and employees could continue to function. Teleworking has been acknowledged to have both advantages and challenges. Nevertheless, its success in supporting continuity of business operations has resulted in organisations continuing to support it, in full-time or hybrid modes, even after the pandemic. Relatedly, different technologies have been used to support telework. In this thesis, the impact of using virtual… عرض المزيد

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted an increase in teleworking to ensure that businesses and employees could continue to function. Teleworking has been acknowledged to have both advantages and challenges. Nevertheless, its success in supporting continuity of business operations has resulted in organisations continuing to support it, in full-time or hybrid modes, even after the pandemic. Relatedly, different technologies have been used to support telework. In this thesis, the impact of using virtual private networks(VPNs) to support productivity and security while organisations continue to allow their employees to telework is studied. The outcomes of this study can help organisations fine tune models of work which include teleworking. Moreover, the insights may help organisations redesign work and schedules for different levels of employees. عرض أقل

This study looks at current issues with hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics and explores if organic bioponics-based solutions are a viable alternative that is also sustainable. The study's findings emphasize the need of maintaining root health and nutrient delivery in aeroponic systems, monitoring water quality and striking a balance between the health of fish and plants in aquaponic systems, and maximizing resource utilization in both systems. The utilization of natural pest and disease management techniques and the sustainable use of resources are just two advantages of bioponics, according to comparative studies. The absence of organic food sources, inefficient insect control, and expensive upfront costs are cited as challenges. The development of various organic nutrient sources, optimisation of biological control agents, analysis of commercial feasibility and scalability, automation of processes, integration of technology, and environmental impact analysis are some future research objectives. This study demonstrates how bioponics may help progress environmentally friendly farming methods. By pursuing the suggested future research lines, scientists can further support organic farming methods, improve the effectiveness of food production, and lessen the influence of agriculture on the environment. By identifying low-cost organic material for Agri input development like that done in the year long trials done by VIRENXIA with IIT-Delhi, appropriate solutions for accelerating sustainable crop growth can be achieved. It also aims to create a virtuous cycle between society and an inclusive academic system, by providing knowledge and practices for emerging farmers and upgrading the capabilities of agriculture sectors, in responding to the development needs of rural India. عرض أقل

between the domains of machine learning and quantum computing. As a result of this research, a
full analysis of QNNs has been offered, covering a wide range of issues including their theoretical
underpinnings, training techniques, benefits, limits, applications, and assessment methodologies.
Quantum neural networks, also known as QNNs, are a type of artificial neural network that makes
use of the power of quantum computing. These networks provide the promise for a significant
improvement in processing speed as well as greater representation capabilities. On the other hand,
in order to make full advantage of the benefits that QNNs give, obstacles such as scalability
concerns and hardware restrictions need to be addressed and fixed. The fact that QNNs have the
potential to be applied in such a broad range of different sectors is evidence of both the adaptability
and the significance of this rapidly developing field of study. It will be necessary to do more study
and investigation if there is to be any hope of making headway in the field of quantum machine
learning with regard to the creation of QNNs and of realizing their full potential. عرض أقل

The present research was undertaken to explore the applicability of Oman's agricultural soil to rice cultivation. The response of the Basmati rice yield and the uptake of soil nutrients to various fertilization regimes was studied. Small-scale pot-based experiments were conducted using Oman's agricultural soil with a randomized block design with biostimulant seed treatment followed by different combinations of
green manures such as alfalfa, broad beans and sesbania aculeate and control treatment without fertilizers. Rice yield decreased only in control pots, although favourable yield levels in all other treatments were retained. All organically treated plots demonstrated a greater absorption of added phosphorus control. عرض أقل

After dates, lime and mango, alfalfa occupies the largest part of cultivated land. In this study, the effect of VIRENXIA formulation consisted of five levels of chicken manure (CM) 0.5 t/ha (C1), 1.0 t/ha (C2), 1.5 t/ha (C3), 2.0 t/ha (C4), 2.5 t/ha (C5) along with two enzymes, enzyme 1 and 2 and foliar application of organic humic acid - fulvic acid (OHA-FA) was investigated on Alfalfa M. Sativa crop and compared against control without CM (C0) and humic acid foliar application at different cuttings under the cut-and-carry system. Chicken manure at the rate of 1.5 t/ha significantly improved fodder growth parameters, biomass yield, antioxidant activity by increasing the crude protein (CP), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), nitrogen content and also by decreasing neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). Similar results were observed in other plant growth parameters.

Hence, our study revealed that VIRENXIA's developed chicken manure- organic humic acid - fulvic acid formulation (CH+OHA) of doses of 1.5 t/ha can be recommended for the cultivation of Alfalfa M. Sativa crop in the southern region of Oman. It can be concluded that enzymatic manure and organic humic acid - fulvic acid are effective tools to boost production in arid saline soils when an appropriate level is used. عرض أقل

The survival of many businesses is dependent on open access to network resources. Attackers try malicious activities with harmless-looking connections. Intrusion detection systems try and differentiate these attacks or dissimilar connections. Such dissimilar connections can also be outliers which are not real intrusions. This paper suggests a new distance-based Outlier Detection Algorithm, Fast Outlier Detection Algorithm (FODA) to detect outliers in VPNs.
