Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in most cities in India, and the second most common in rural areas. Early detection of breast cancer by systematic evaluation of the individual may improve survival rate. Infrared thermography one of the imaging technique that produce high resolution infrared images shows the heat pattern based on the temperature changes in breast with respect to tshe progression of the cancer cells. Increased metabolic activity and the blood flow due to the multiplication of cancer cells induces more heat on the skin layer which are captured by the thermal camera to produce the thermal images. This paper discuss on the real time image processing algorithm to detect the presence of cancer from the acquired thermal images. The methodology includes the preprocessing the acquired image and segmenting the region of interest, extracting the features from the segmented image followed by feature selection and classification. From the results, it is inferred that ANN classifiers yields better classification accuracy of 92% and minimum error rate (0.08) in K-means segmentation method when compared with SVM, KNN classifiers.

Although traditional fabrication methods (electrospinning, solvent casting, freeze drying, etc...) can be used to produce scaffold, unfortunately, each of them has many limitations such as difficulty to control distinct 3D structure and porosity. These limitations can be easily overcome by unconventional techniques such as Fused Deposition Method (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Stereolithography (SLA) to produce tissue engineering scaffold. Among the three, SLA offers the lowest cost, fastest printing speed and highest resolution. Digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing process is one of the SLA techniques which has been used a lot to fabricate tissue engineering scaffold based on Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) material. However, there is no report published on the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffold based PEGDA filled with Aramid Nanofiber (ANFs). Hence, the feasible parameter setting for fabricating this material using DLP technique is currently unknown. The aim of this work is to establish the best feasible condition to fabricate PEGDA/ANFs 3D scaffold. ANFs was synthesized first from macro size Kevlar fiber prior to crosslinking with Diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (TPO) photoinitiator. The mixing ratio of PEGDA resin to ANFs was fixed to 9:1. The concentration of TPO was varied at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.7% wt. while the resin concentration was fixed at 30% during the mixing to produce three set of biomaterials. Calibration printing was conducted prior to actual printing with the purpose of eliminating unprintable TPO concentration. The final scaffold was printed using DLP machine (FEMTO…) at two different curing times i.e 70 and 80s to obtain a good shape and printable 3D structure. The synthesized ANFs showed that a single diameter in nano size at a range of 50 nm ~ 80 nm was able to produce. During calibration printing, it was found that 1.7%wt of TPO failed to produce a 3D profile shape. The final printing results of 0.5%wt and 1%wt of TPO were compared after being cured at 70s and 80s. It was observed that the printed 3D scaffold of 1%wt TPO at 70s curing time produces the most discernable shape of tensile specimen (ISO 37:2011) than the other three conditions. The findings from this study can be potentially used a guideline for developing a 3D structure of tissue engineering scaffold by using DLP 3D printing process.

Published: August 2019

A study is focused on the development of an electronic device capable of measuring Soil Organic Matter (SOM) content in a given soil sample using Ultra-Violet and Visible Light (UV/Vis) Spectroscopy. SOM measurement is a high valued procedure in any sustainable agricultural production system. The SOM content measurement was done through image processing and uses the Munsell Colour System as the reference to analyse the soil samples. Fluorescence which causes some substances including organic matters emit light at visible wavelengths when exposed to Ultraviolet and Visible light spectrums was the key phenomenon used in the design and development of the prototype measuring device. By capturing the amount of radiation through a camera, the image will be sent to a computer to quantify the amount of SOM present in a given soil sample. The system was composed of two main parts, the UV/Vis LED array circuit and the computer which runs the developed software to analyze SOM content. The camera used to capture reflected images is integrated to the LED array circuit. A separate testing software was also developed to calibrate the reading consistency of the device. Testing included the effects of moisture content and grain size of the soil samples. Through testing and evaluation of the prototype, the results were compared to the measured SOM using Loss-on-Ignition (LOI) method. Findings show that the measured quantities using the SOM Content Measuring Instrument is comparable with the measured quantities using LOI method.

Now days, expanding needs of photovoltaic cells and other solar oriented power establishments are in administration around the globe and in space. These utilizations extend from essential electric power source for satellites, remote site logical experiment and towns in creating nations to enhancing the commercial electric grid and giving fractional power for individual organization. In space, power produced by photovoltaic cells after conversion from sunlight will become mainstay of power source for Earth and geostationary satellite bodies. The conspicuous reason is daylight on earth is excessively untrustworthy, whereas in space energy can be harvest by 24 hours. The challenge is to harvest maximum energy and transmit the energy from space to earth in the form of microwave frequency with minimum power loss. In this work to harvest maximum power,s we change the directivity range of receiving antenna to -40 dB, Received microwave frequency from transmitting antenna is in the form of beam of rectangular array, In previous work, directivity ranges from 0 to -8 dB for receiving frequency 70.00 MHz causes cutoff of transmitted frequency for below 2.45 GHz, if directivity ranges increase from 0 to -40 dB then transmitting frequency ranges till 2.00 GHz will be utilized by which after conversion in rectenna we get total 223.42 MW power.

In this growing world, Internet has changed so much to an extent that it turned into a powerful tool in every aspects of our lives.E-auction is one of those things which helps the bidders to take part in an auction online over the air. In a sealed bid third parties need to pay an extra cost to help the buyers and sellers carry out their exchange without any hassle. But there can be a breach of trust by the third parties. Owners of the auction or the company that is auctioning can have direct entry to it when the auction is run on a decentralized platform. When the users auction off something on the chain, the smart contract takes control of the auctioned asset and thereafter it manages the bids associated. In this paper, we execute a smart contract for a verifiable sealed-bid auction on the Ethereum blockchain. The type of auction used is sealed-bid in which the bidders submit their bids privately and each bidder can participate only once. As per the biddings received, the highest bidder wins and pays the highest corresponding highest submitted bid. Additionally, before the auction ends the bidder can withdraw the bid after submitting it. In such a case the bidder will have another chance to place the bid. This smart contract implementation abides by the true essence of a sealed-bid, to be precise, no information about the biddings is leaked to the bidders except for the highest bid

Over the past few years, Deep learning-based methods have shown encouraging and inspiring results for one of the most complex tasks of computer vision and image processing; Image Inpainting. The difficulty of image inpainting is derived from its’ need to fully and deeply understand of the structure and texture of images for producing accurate and visibly plausible results especially for the cases of inpainting a relatively larger region. Deep learning methods usually employ convolution neural network (CNN) for processing and analyzing images using filters that consider all image pixels as valid ones and usually use the mean value to substitute the missing pixels. This result in artifacts and blurry inpainted regions inconsistent with the rest of the image. In this paper, a new novel-based method is proposed for image inpainting of random-shaped missing regions with variable size and arbitrary locations across the image. We employed the use of dilated convolutions for composing multiscale context information without any loss in resolution as well as including a modification mask step after each convolution operation. The proposed method also includes a global discriminator that also considers the scale of patches as well as the whole image. The global discriminator is responsible for capturing local continuity of images texture as well as the overall global images’ features. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using two datasets (Places2 and Paris Street View). Also, a comparison with the recent state-of-the-art is preformed to demonstrate and prove the effectiveness of our model in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations.

In this paper, tensile behaviour of the natural fiber composites such as the areca nut composites and the sunn hemp composites were determined. The fibers were arranged in different orientations such as the uniaxial, biaxial and the criss-cross arrangements. For both the types of fiber composites, specimens were made with and without the incorporation of E-glass fibers. Comparisons were done on the basis of fiber orientation, E-glass fibers incorporation and the type of natural fiber used. Initially, the fibers were treated with alkali, i.e. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in order to get better bonding at the fiber-matrix interface. The conventional hand lay-up technique followed by the soft compression molding technique was carried out for fabricating the composite specimens. It was inferred from the results that the tensile strength was more for uniaxial arrangement and the least for biaxial arrangement in case of both the fibers. Further, for both the fibers, E-glass fiber incorporation increased the tensile strength as compared to the non-incorporated E-glass fiber composites. Also, sunn hemp composites showed better tensile strength than areca nut composites. The research suggested that the areca nut and sunn hemp composites were assets to many potential applications that did not require very high load bearing capabilities. These examined composites can be considered as very reliable materials for fabrication of lightweight materials used in automobile industry, packaging materials, medical field, etc.

The shaft, rotor, bearing and gear are the important elements of the rotating machines. Most of the problems in rotating machines are caused due to bearings and shaft. The failure of rotating machine causes production downtime and economic & safety issues. Vibration signal analysis is highly accepted technique in fault diagnosis of rotating machine. For automation of fault diagnosis, machine learning approach has been followed. Machine learning classifies fault based on variation in signatures pattern of the machine. But its effectiveness gets reduced when it is used for multi fault class problem. So in the present work, sound signals are also used along with vibration signals for applying sensor fusion techniques. In sensor fusion, signals from various sensors are fused in three levels such as data fusion, feature fusion and decision level fusion and the fused data sets are used for fault classification using machine learning algorithm. The performance of each technique is studied in detail and compared using classification accuracy. A new method is proposed by combination of fusion techniques to enhance the performance.

The voltage at the output stack of fuel cell is considerably low, hence it is increased by rendering IDDB converter with closed loop control. This type of boost converter with closed loop control is also utilized to priorate the converter output voltage consistent regardless of the pressure levels in the fuel cell. The output of the boost converter is coupled to the inverter for developing AC to run PMSM. Gating signals are produced to the inverter by the use of Space Vector PWM technique and the inverter output is supplied to the PMSM drive by means of an LC filter in order to diminish the ripples in the inverter output . In this work, in order to achieve better performance above induction motors such as higher speed, torque efficiency PMSM drive has been proposed . The results are verified by simulation techniques using MATLAB/Simulink.

Este artículo reporta los resultados de un estudio cualitativo con un diseño de investigación acción (Nunan 1992) que  tuvo como objetivo analizar la incidencia del método Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) en el nivel de Filtro Afectivo presentado en estudiantes de media técnica en una institución educativa.  La  implementación de un cuestionario inicial sobre el nivel de filtro afectivo arrojó resultados altos en niveles de ansiedad y bajos niveles de motivación y auto confianza. De este modo, se organizaron las implementaciones del APB a través de dos proyectos basados en la cultura colombiana.  Las intervenciones se estudiaron mediante el análisis de diarios de campo, rubricas de observación semi-estructuradas y un grupo focal en contraste con el cuestionario de filtro afectivo final.  Los resultados del cuestionario final evidenciaron una reducción  de la ansiedad  de niveles altos a medios y  de niveles bajos a  altos del auto confianza y la motivación. Los estudiantes reportaron que el APB tiene una incidencia positiva en su producción oral, específicamente con variables socio afectivas como  la toma de riesgos y  el compromiso con el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, así mismo los diarios de campo soportaron el uso de un output controlado, en el que la práctica permanente incidió de forma positiva en la fluidez verbal.
