Anti-dumping laws in India
Dumping has been the biggest topic of concern amongst all the nations in the past few decades. Dumping means exporting goods at a price lower than its normal value and introducing it into the economy of another country which thereby causes injury to the domestic producers of the same goods. Dumping is not actually prohibited under GATT provisions unless it is established that it is adversely affecting the Domestic producers. When a country dumps its goods into the economy of another country, then to stop this unfair activity anti-dumping measures can be taken by the importing country after establishing that the dumping is causing injury to the domestic producers of the same goods. The first provision regarding anti-dumping in India was enacted in 1982. India has Come a long way in using Anti Dumping measures as trade remedy tool since 1995 with 26% of total world Anti Dumping measures being taken by India in 2011 from a modest 6% in 1995. Through this, industries are availing a large number of benefits which are permissible under the law. To constitute dumping three things are needed to be satisfied- Dumping is caused. Injury is caused by the domestic producers of the same goods due to dumping. There is a causal link between injury and dumping. Anti dumping and anti subsidies & countervailing measures in India are assessed by Directorate General of Anti dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) functioning in the Dept. of Commerce in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Dumping is considered as an unfair trade practice which adversely effects international trade by different means. To resolve the problems arising out of the dumping of goods and its trade distortive effect Anti Dumping measure is used. So, the anti-dumping duty is the main measure to solve the trade distortive effect of dumping and re-establish fair trade. The main use of anti-dumping measure is to eliminate unfair competition and allow healthy competition and trade which is permitted by the WTO.

Copyright infringement in international trade
Intellectual Property is widely need and it gives uncountable advantages to the creators or inventors over their work. The need for protection of intellectual property is increasing day by day. The Intellectual Property Rights are given under Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this paper the copyright, its need, advantages and a leading case A&M Records vs. Napster is discussed. It was the landmark Case in the history of copyright Law which discussed the idea of rights of copyright holders and remedies against the wrongdoers. The idea of Direct Infringement, Contributory Infringement and Vicarious Infringement is largely discussed in this paper. In this case, the music industries suffered a great loss due to an online software named Napster.

Smart electricity consumption meter using LoRa Module
LoRa is a long-range, low-power, low-bit rate, wireless telecommunications system, promoted as an infrastructure solution for the Internet of Things: end-devices use LoRa across a single wireless hop to communicate to gateway(s), connected to the Internet and which act as transparent bridges and relay messages between these end-devices and a central network server. This project provides an overview of LoRa and an in-depth analysis of its functional components. The physical and data link layer performance is evaluated by field tests and simulations. Based on the analysis and evaluations, some possible solutions for performance enhancements are proposed. Prepaid electricity billing system and automated smart meter reading have been widely adopted by electricity companies worldwide nowadays to reduce the error of human reading and improve the efficiency of the billing process. To activate the prepaid system, a robust and reliable network is essential. So we have designed this system to manage customers and prepaid bills by using IoT and GSM Technology.

Man and Machine: A discussion on Artificial Intelligence from a legal perspective
In the current technology-driven era, one can find human-like creatures called Artificial Intelligence actively helping out human by their orders and programs. Their support has proven to be indispensable in every field be it waiter at a hotel, performing a surgery, painting, and whatnot. It is a dire need to acknowledge their support but at the same time be prepared to face the challenges arising out. Artificial Intelligence can be said as innovation at its best with the support and aid of technology, developments, and computer power. Though the advancements in science and technology have contributed to a great extent easing out the complexities, the advent of the same has increased the ways to use artificial intelligence. Intellectual Property relates to intangible assets, more specifically to patents, trademarks, copyright, and industrial design. The fundamental goal of the Intellectual Property system is to encourage new technologies and creative works and to create a sustainable economic basis for invention and creation. There creeps the ambiguity as to the IPR rights of Artificial Intelligence. Like humans, artificial intelligence machines are able to create original works. Unlike humans, the original works created by machines are not protected under Intellectual property laws. This issue needs attention at the earliest both from the international as well as domestic levels, as the extent of artificial intelligence is growing at the fastest pace. This discussion tries to bring out the issues and challenges with regard to artificial intelligence, IPR legislation, and the related legal provisions.

Functionally generated Amalgam stops on the Occlusal surface for Acrylic resin denture teeth to increase wear resistance: A case report
Wear of the occlusal surface of the denture is a sequela of complete denture which leads to loss of vertical dimension, loss of aesthetics and decrease in masticatory efficiency. Treatment modalities include change of denture set after a regular interval of 5 years, use of wear-resistant denture teeth that include wear-resistant resin or porcelain teeth, teeth with cast metal occlusal surface, and altering occlusal contact areas of denture teeth by use of silver amalgam fillings. A case report of a patient who had an increased tendency of occlusal wear was treated with an amalgam filling on the occlusal surface of denture teeth to increase wear resistance and to improve the masticatory

A facial-expression recognition model using deep learning
Deep neural networks have been recently putting a breakthrough in pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence. This paper emphasizes a study based on deep learning framework contributing to the field of expression recognition. The proposed model involves a technique using deep for human facial expression recognition. Images are first preprocessed with normalization manipulation to remove illumination and facilitate enhancement using hat-filtering. At that point, a weighted, focus symmetric nearby paired example (CS-LBP) is connected to each face hinder by piece. The CS-LBP pieces are connected to form an element vector of the face picture. The deep network is trained using the layer-wise strategy. We use the CIFAR-10 dataset is used for training and testing. A database of real images is used for testing the algorithms. GUI has been created which compares trained and tested dataset and specifies the type of expression in the command window.
