Unified Approach for White Blood Cell Segmentation, Feature Extraction, and Counting using Max-Tree Data Structure

Accurate identification and counting of White Blood Cells (WBCs) from microscopy blood cell images are vital for several blood-related disease diagnoses such as leukemia.The inevitability of automated cell image analysis in medical diagnosis results in a plethora of research for the last few decades.Microscopic blood cell image analysis involves three major steps: cell segmentation, classification, and counting.Several techniques have been employed separately to solve these three problems.In this paper, a simple unified model is proposed for White Blood Cell segmentation, feature extraction for classification, and counting with connected mathematical morphological operators implemented using the max-tree data structure.Max-tree creates a hierarchical representation of connected components of all possible gray levels present in an image in such a way that the root holds the connected components comprise of pixels with the lowest intensity value and the connected components comprise of pixels with the highest intensity value are in the leaves.Any associated attributes such as the size or shape of each connected component can be efficiently calculated on the fly and stored in this data structure.Utilizing this knowledge-rich data structure, we obtain a better segmentation of the cells that preserves the morphology of the cells and consequently obtain better accuracy in cell counting.
Security from Implicit Information

We present novel security mechanisms using implicit information extracted from physiological, behavioural, and ambient data. These mechanisms are implemented with reference to device-to-user and inter-device relationships, including: user authentication with transient image-based passwords, device-to-device secure connection initialization based on vocal commands, collaborative inference over the communication channel, and continuous on-body device pairing. Authentication methods based on passwords require users to explicitly set their passwords and change them regularly. We introduce a method to generate always-fresh authentication challenges from videos collected by wearable cameras. We implement two password formats that expect users to arrange or select images according to their chronological information. Radio waves are mainly used for data transmission. We implement function computation over the wireless signals to perform collaborative inference. We encode information into burst sequences in such a way that arithmetic functions can be computed using the interference. Hence, data is hidden inside the wireless signals and implicitly aggregated. Our algorithms allow us to train and deploy a classifier efficiently with the support of minimal backscatter devices. To initialize a connection between a personal device (e.g. smart-phone) and shared appliances (e.g. smart-screens), users are required to explicitly ask for connection information including device identities and PIN codes. We propose to leverage natural vocal commands to select shared appliance types and generate secure communication keys from the audio implicitly. We perform experiments to verify that device proximity defined by audio fingerprints can restrict the range of device-to-device communication. PIN codes in device pairing must be manually entered or verified by users. This is inconvenient in scenarios when pairing is performed frequently or devices have limited user interfaces. Our methods generate secure pairing keys for on-body devices continuously from sensor data. Our mechanisms automatically disconnect the devices when they leave the user's body. To cover all human activities, we leverage gait in human ambulatory actions and heartbeat in resting postures.

Effects of Collective Promotion on the Attainment of Goals of Basic Education in English-Speaking Primary Schools in Cameroon

This study aims at investigating the effects of collective promotion on the attainment of literacy, numeracy, and essential life skills by primary school pupils and also to find out if the policy of collective promotion meets its objective of minimization of wastage in basic education. The study used written tests for pupils in the final class (Level II, class 6) to collect data in some selected English-speaking primary schools in Meme Division of Cameroon. Descriptive statistics and a one way ANOVA were used for analyzing data. The results revealed that the policy of collective promotion negatively affects the attainment of literacy, numeracy, and essential life skills of pupils in Kumba, Meme Division. Teachers who assisted in the study through personal communication with the researcher argued that collective promotion in basic education does not achieve its objective of minimizing wastage of educational resources; neither does it positively improve the literacy, numeracy, and essential life skills of pupils. This study recommends that the policy of collective promotion can be revisited and that focus be placed not only on minimizing wastage of resources but also on investing on quality education system so as to equip the would-be leaders of tomorrow with skills, knowledge, and attitudes which will make them functional and responsible citizens in their society.

Folk Culture of Rabha Tribe: Changes and its Preservation (Special reference of Folk-Songs)

Ongoing years witness the improvement of distributed computing innovation. With the dangerous development of unstructured information, distributed storage innovation improves advancement. In any case, in current stockpiling pattern, client's information is completely put away in cloud workers. As such, clients lose their privilege of control on information and face security spillage hazard. Conventional security assurance plans are normally founded on encryption innovation, yet these sorts of techniques can't viably oppose assault from within cloud worker. So as to tackle this issue, we propose a three-layer stockpiling system dependent on mist processing. The proposed system can both exploit distributed storage and secure the protection of information. Also, Hash-Solomon code calculation is intended to separate information into various parts. At that point, we can place a little piece of information in neighborhood machine and haze worker so as to secure the protection. Also, in light of computational knowledge, this calculation can process the appropriation extent put away in cloud, mist, and nearby machine, individually. Through the hypothetical security examination and trial assessment, the possibility of our plan has been approved, which is actually an incredible enhancement to existing distributed storage plot.

A Pump-Probe Analysis of Nonlinear Elastic Behavior on the San Andreas Fault

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Fracture networks in the subsurface influence nearly every aspect of earthquakes and natural hazards.&amp;amp;#160; These aspects, including stress, permeability and material failure, and are important for hazard assessment. However, our ability to monitor fracture behavior in the Earth is insufficient for any type of decision-making regarding hazard avoidance.&amp;amp;#160; I propose a new method for probing the evolution of fracture networks in situ to inform public safety decisions and understand natural systems.&amp;amp;#160;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In heterogeneous, fractured materials, like those found in the Earth, the relationship between stress and strain is highly nonlinear.&amp;amp;#160; This nonlinearity in the upper crust is almost entirely due to fractures.&amp;amp;#160; By measuring to what extent Earth materials exhibit nonlinear elastic behavior, we can learn more information about them.&amp;amp;#160; Directly, measuring physical properties may be more useful than just detecting that fractures are present or how they are shaped and oriented.&amp;amp;#160; We measure nonlinearity by measuring the apparent modulus at different strains.&amp;amp;#160;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In this study we use a pump-probe analysis, which involves continuously probing velocity (as a proxy for modulus) while systematically straining the material.&amp;amp;#160; We will use solid Earth tides as a strain pump and empirical Green&amp;amp;#8217;s functions (EGF) as a velocity probe.&amp;amp;#160; We apply this analysis to the San Andreas Fault near Parkfield, California.&amp;amp;#160; We chose Parkfield because there is a long-term deployment of borehole seismic instruments that recorded before and after a M6 earthquake.&amp;amp;#160; We find evidence that nonlinear behavior is correlated with the seismic cycle and therefore it may contain information on the both the evolution and current state of stress on faults.&amp;amp;#160;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

An Unlikely Symbiosis: Science and Law

Science has historically held a position of high regard in society. Science is intimately connected to law. These disciplines meet in the courtroom. Due to the nature of civil and criminal disputes in the United States, litigators retain expert witnesses to explicate nuanced subjects, including science. Unfortunately, the common law system has not always favored sound science. This paper examines how science and law can work in concert to benefit all people. Some feel that scientists should simply educate courtrooms, but further scrutiny questions the feasibility of this approach. Understanding the sociology of scientific knowledge elucidates this debate and is applied to the forensic sciences. Science and law have the capacity to improve the human condition and increase equity among all people.

A New Cryptographic Model based on Residue Number System and Ribonucleic Acid Properties

The presence of information technology has drastically transformed ways of communication with one another.This development has tremendously increased the usage and ways of communication leaving behind the security consideration of what is being transmitted through a communication channel.Cryptography plays a vital role in securing information.Therefore, this research reveals a technical model on computation of the cryptography algorithms.The aim to be considered is the enhanced security of the encrypted data and thus fills the gap of security.Additionally, this newly concept integrate residue number system, Chinese reminder theorem and the properties of ribonucleic acid to generate a symmetric key by shuffling the key with the textual data, making the transformation of each character of the data better each time it is shuffled and thus, making the final output stronger to be broken.Subsequently, the developed concept secures the data more adequately than the existing one because of the designed pattern and confusion created during the process.
The Legacy of János S. Petőfi: Text Linguistics, Literary Theory and Semiotics

Janos S. Petofi (1931-2013) was one of the founders of Text Linguistics in Germany in the early `70s. He developed different text models, the most famous of which were the Text Structure World Structure Theory (TeSWeST) and Semiotic Textology. In this volume, some of his colleagues and disciples discuss his theoretical contributions to prove the enormous impact of his thoughts in the fields of linguistics, literary theory, rhetoric and semiotics. The essays here consider the notion of coherence, which Petofi deemed to be the only sufficient condition for textuality, the relationships between his textual models and disciplines such as cognitive, computational and corpus linguistics, and his contributions to the analysis of literary and multimedial texts.
Image security system using hybrid cryptosystem

This work presents and describes a novel method to hide messages in images in a hybrid manner, as steganography is combined with quantum cryptography. Through stimulating and implementing this hybrid approach, the least significant bit (LSB) substitution is employed for hiding secret messages within cover images that consist of three bands (Red, Green and Blue), after which the output is encrypted using quantum one-time pad encryption. The models are illustrated explicitly and tested. In addition, the test analysis uses a steganalysis tool called StegExpose to detect LSB steganography in images. The experimental results proved that the image hiding is reliably secure and undetectable, and hence the proposed new hybrid model provides a sufficient security level as well as we have tested the proposed system using robust state-of- the-art steganalysis techniques and found the low payload threshold maintained in the proposed system produces a high margin of communication security safety. No payload files were detected (0% detections), despite each file containing the entire content of the information as embedded text.
Using airborne hyperspectral imaging to aid prospectivity analysis for lithium in geothermal waters

Historic records have shown that lithium enriched geothermal waters circulate within natural geological fractures at depth in Cornwall. These fracture zones outcrop at surface and can be examined to understand which structures are most prospective for further exploration. Using airborne hyperspectral imagery, a rapid and high-resolution survey of alteration patterns can indicate the structures that have interacted with geothermal water. Spectra were analysed for kaolin and haematite minerals which were successfully identified and subsequently verified using lab analyses. A drilling campaign was successful in confirming the presence of lithium in structures that were identified in the remote sensing programme.

Implementasi Interpolasi Spline Untuk Meningkatkan Kualitas Skala Zooming Pada Citra Screen Capture CCTV

Various types of image processing that can be done by computers such as, improving the quality of the zooming scale on CCTV screen capture images (image processing) is one of the fields that is quite popular until now. An image can experience interference in the form of damage to some parts or pixels in the storage process, this damage is in the form of major errors in an image for example in an image resulting in increasing the quality of the zooming scale. In the settlement, the writer uses spline interpolation method which is a good method for estimating low and high values ​​that are not found in the sample data. Screen capture functions to tell others about what is seen on the screen of the attached device because sometimes it is able to explain a situation very accurately. Screen capture is often used for various tutorials to make it easier for readers to read and some use it to explain a situation to others if there is a problem with the device being used in order to get a solution. The design that is done later can improve the quality of the zooming scale on the cctv screen capture image and make it easier to analyze the image to be zoomed in and produce a better image.

Some insights on demonstrative use in Hungarian: results of a controlled-dialogue game

The aim of this paper is to collect and examine spontaneous data on Hungarian nominal demonstratives.Taking as a starting point Piwek et al.'s (2008) work on Dutch, conversations between two interlocutors were video recorded in a controlled-dialogue game setting.After a quantitative analysis of the distribution of pragmatic uses of Hungarian demonstratives, two hypotheses regarding the choice of exophoric proximal and distal demonstratives were tested, namely, it was explored whether relative distance from the speaker and mental accessibility influence demonstrative practice.The findings indicate that while relative proximity is a decisive factor, accessibility is not crucial.The paper also offers a detailed investigation of the various pragmatic uses of Hungarian demonstratives with the help of illustrative examples analysed in context.
