Faults in On-Load Tap Changer of a Transformer: An Innovative Approach to Mechanical Fault Diagnosis
Abstract: On-load tap changer (OLTC) is very important for maintaining or regulating output voltage, but it has moving contact & complex switching mechanisms which contributes to the failure of on-load tap changer. Faults in OLTC such as Coking Contact wear and damaged transition resistors significantly reduce reliability of transformers which may lead to catastrophic failures of transformers. There are some traditional approaches for diagnostics of OLTC, such as Static Resistance Measurements, …

Exploration of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) Techniques to Enhance Model Interpretability
Abstract: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has become a major research field because of the rising application of complex machine learning and deep learning models in actual decision-making systems. Although such models are accurate, they are in many cases black boxes and therefore the users do not have much understanding of the way the decisions are generated. This absence of transparency brings up some serious concerns connected with trust, accountability, fairness, and …

A Comparative Study of JWT and Web Authn for Password less Authentication in MERN Stack Applications
Abstract: More than 80% of web application breaches are rooted in credential compromise, yet password-based login continues to be the default choice in most MERN stack deployments. This paper reports on a side-by-side implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) and Web Authentication (WebAuthn) within a shared MERN reference application built on React 18, Express.js 4.18, Node.js v20 LTS, and MongoDB Atlas M10. The JWT branch uses bcrypt at cost factor 12 …
