Summary
Emotion detection in virtual assistants and chatbots is pivotal for enhancing user experiences and strengthening the bond between humans and AI. This research focuses on infusing emotional intelligence into AI systems, encompassing robust emotion recognition models, contextual response generation, empathetic interaction strategies, ethical guidelines, and user evaluation. Diverse datasets and human evaluators will address potential validity threats. Success will be measured through objective metrics and user assessments, advancing AI technology. Future work may explore multi-modal emotion recognition, long-term user relationships, and ongoing ethical refinements.

Summary
Various games can have multiple outcomes, based on the decisions of the various stakeholders or players. In this paper, we created a program (in Python) that finds the type of dominant strategy in 2-player games, using the potential payoffs or utility returns for each of the possible moves a player plays. Specifically, the code was ideally made for a game where each of the players has 2 moves thus 4 total possible outcomes for each player with their own payoffs. We were able to process the inputted data for each of the 2 players through the use of a 2:2 matrix. By comparing payoffs or specific values in the matrix using logical steps and conditions, we were able to determine what move would be most beneficial and effective for each player, along with the type of dominance that move has.

Summary
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) or Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is a powerful tool for studying systems with unpaired electrons - paramagnetic ions. EPR is defined on the absorption of Electromagnetic Radiation, or microwave radiation. EPR of a paramagnetic sample when placed inside a magnetic field can help determine the identity, oxidation, and spin states of paramagnetic ion(s) and study the interactions of paramagnetic ion(s) with the lattice. DPPH (1,1 -diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) spectroscopy is done at room temperature, while MnCl2/Water solvent spectroscopy is done at temperatures as low as 100K. For this paper, samples were analyzed using a Varian E-3 X-Band EPR Spectrometer. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the spectra of DPPH and MnCl2 samples using the following parameters: g-factor, line widths, and hyperfine constants. Post-analysis, measurements of experimental accuracy were made for each parameter, followed by the detection of random and systematic errors. Moreover, suggestions were made for improvements to the setup, and tactics to minimize errors were discussed to ensure the most accurate data.

Summary
This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive case study on JetSetGo, one of India's most successful private charter aviation companies led by a woman. Utilizing both a SWOT and PESTLE analysis, we will explore the factors that have contributed to the growth and success of JetSetGo in the Indian aviation industry. Additionally, the study will delve into the broader context of the private charter aviation sector in India, analyzing how external factors, such as regulatory, economic, and social influences, impact the industry's growth. By utilizing publicly available data and in-depth research, this paper will showcase JetSetGo's remarkable journey, highlighting the critical elements that have positively or negatively influenced its success.

Summary
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy is an experimental procedure where a paramagnetic sample is kept in a magnetic field and exposed to microwave radiation. At a specific magnetic field, the energy required to jump from the normal state of the electrons on that sample to the excited state is the same as the energy being provided by the radiation. Hence the electrons absorb the energy and attain the higher state. This absorption can be detected. By looking at what magnetic field allowed for this jump, it is possible to determine several properties about the sample. In this paper, this technique is used on DPPH and MnCl2 samples. The results have then been compared to the expected known values for those samples. In the case of DPPH, the results obtained line up with the expected values and properties. In the case of MnCl2, while measurements such as the number of hyperfine lines observed coincide with the expected ones, the hyperfine constant observed does not match the expected value. The temperature has been identified as a potential reason for this discrepancy.
