Development of Legume-Based Snack Bar and its Nutritional, Sensory, Texture, and Microbial Properties

This study focused on the formulation and evaluation of protein-rich snack bars developed using Green gram (Vigna radiata), Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), and Black-eyed pea (Vigna unguiculata) in four different ratios (A: 1:1:1, B: 2:1:1, C: 1:2:1, D: 1:1:2). Sensory evaluation revealed that formulation B (2:1:1) achieved the highest scores across most attributes, including appearance, aroma, …

A Review of Learning-Based Sonar Signal Processing Using Neural Networks

Sonar systems are widely used for underwater sensing applications such as navigation, target detection, and environmental monitoring. However, conventional sonar signal processing techniques often rely on handcrafted features and model-based assumptions, which can limit performance in complex and noisy underwater environments. In recent years, learning-based approaches, particularly those using neural networks, have gained increasing attention …

FPGA-Based Acoustic Feedback Suppression A Review of Algorithms, Implementations, and Future Directions

Sonar Acoustic feedback remains a critical limitation in sound reinforcement and communication systems, particularly in environments where microphones and loudspeakers operate close proximity. Traditional suppression methods such as notch filtering, phase shifting, and frequency shifting provide partial relief but often introduce latency, tonal coloration, and reduced audio quality. Recent work has increasingly explored adaptive approaches …

A Comprehensive Review of Vision-Based and Data-Driven Solar Power Forecasting Techniques

The increasing penetration of large-scale photovoltaic power plants has intensified the challenge of managing power variability caused by rapid changes in solar irradiance. Short term and ultra short-term power fluctuations, mainly driven by cloud movement, can lead to severe ramp rate violations and grid instability, particularly in weak and island power systems. This review critically …

The Role of IMF in Restoring the Financial Stability of Developing Countries in the Post-Pandemic Era: Case Study of Sri Lanka

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is helping developing countries that the Covid-19 pandemic has inconvenienced. As a result, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved a 48-month Extended Fund Facility(EFF) of about 3 billion USD to support Sri Lanka’s Covid-19 post-pandemic era. This IMF’s support impacts SriLanka’s economy, both directly and indirectly. Therefore, this research …
