description: We use observations of six "blazars" with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), at eight frequencies (4.6, 5.1, 7.9, 8.9, 12.9, 15.4, 22.2, 43.1 GHz), to investigate the frequency-dependent position of their VLBI cores ("core-shift") and their overall jet spectral distribution. By cross-correlating the optically thin jet emission, we are able to accurately align the multi-frequency images of three of the jets (1418+546, 2007+777, 2200+420), whose core-shifts and spectra we find consistent with the equipartition regime of the Blandford & Konigl conical jet model, where the position of the radio core from the base of the jet follows $r_{core}\proptoν^{-1}$. For the jet of 0954+658, we align the higher frequency images using our lower frequency measurements assuming equipartition in the radio core from 4.6-43 GHz. The jet emission of the other two sources in our sample (1156+295, 1749+096) is too sparse for our alignment technique to work. Using our measured core-shifts, we calculate equipartition magnetic field strengths of the order of 10's to 100's of mG in the radio cores of these four AGN from 4.6-43 GHz. Extrapolating our results back to the accretion disk and black hole jet-launching distances, we find magnetic field strengths consistent with those expected from theoretical models of magnetically powered jets.

On the correlation between metallicity and the presence of giant planets
Creators: name: Haywood, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The correlation between stellar metallicity and the presence of giant planets is well established. It has been tentatively explained by the possible increase of planet formation probability in stellar disks with enhanced amount of metals. However, there are two caveats to this explanation. First, giant stars with planets do not show a metallicity distribution skewed towards metal-rich objects, as found for dwarfs. Second, the correlation with metallicity is not valid at intermediate metallicities, for which it can be shown that giant planets are preferentially found orbiting thick disk stars. None of these two peculiarities is explained by the proposed scenarios of giant planet formation. We contend that they are galactic in nature, and probably not linked to the formation process of giant planets. It is suggested that the same dynamical effect, namely the migration of stars in the galactic disk, is at the origin of both features, with the important consequence that most metal-rich stars hosting giant planets originate from the inner disk, a property that has been largely neglected until now. We illustrate that a planet-metallicity correlation similar to the observed one is easily obtained if stars from the inner disk have a higher percentage of giant planets than stars born at the solar radius, with no specific dependence on metallicity. We propose that the density of molecular hydrogen in the inner galactic disk (the molecular ring) could play a role in setting the high percentage of giant planets that originate from this region.

Αναδεικνύεται η θεολογία των Αγγέλων μέσα από τη μελέτη της Αγίας Γραφής και των Πατερικών κειμένων της Ελληνικής Πατρολογίας. Επίκεντρο της παρούσας εργασίας αποτελεί η μουσικολογική ανάλυση του στιχηρού της εορτής «Των νοερών Δυνάμεων Αρχιστράτηγοι» σε ήχο Α'. Για τη μελέτη αυτή χρησιμοποιήθηκαν σε αντιπαραβολή 25 επιλεγμένοι χειρόγραφοι κώδικες 12ου έως 14ου αιώνα, από διάφορες Ι. Μονές του Αγίου Όρους με τη μορφή μικροταινιών που φυλάσσονται στο Πατριαρχικό Ίδρυμα Πατερικών Μελετών (Π.Ι.Π.Μ.) στην Ι.Μ. Βλατάδων, στην Άνω Πόλη Θεσσαλονίκης. Επίσης, παρατίθεται συγκριτικά και η αργή εξήγηση του στιχηρού από τον κώδικα του Μετοχίου Παναγίου Τάφου 708, αυτόγραφο του Χουρμουζίου Χαρτοφύλακα. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στην ανίχνευση της σχέσης τηactingς παλαιάς γραφής (Στιχηράρια 12ου-14ου αιώνα) με την εξήγηση στη νέα αναλυτική γραφή (19ος αιώνας). Ακόμη, γίνεται μία προσπάθεια διερεύνησης της σχέσης λόγου και μέλους και πιο συγκεκριμένα της σχέσης της θεολογίας περί των αγγέλων και του βυζαντινού μέλους. Η ψαλτική τέχνη ερμηνεύει βαθύτερα έννοιες της βυζαντινής υμνολογίας όπως εκείνες της νοεράς ησυχίας, της αίσθησης του μεγαλείου των Αγίων Αρχαγγέλων, της σταθερής παρουσίας τους και της αέναης δοξολογίας τους γύρω από το θρόνο του Κυρίου, αλλά και της πρεσβείας των αιτημάτων των ανθρώπων προς τον Θεό.
description: This dissertation aims to study the Feast of the Synaxis of the Holy Archangels. The theology of the Holy Archangels is highlighted through the study of the Holy Bible and the Greek patristic texts. The study’s focal point is a musicological analysis of the Feast's sticheron "Ton noeron Dynameon Archistratigoi" (in the First Mode). Twenty five selected manuscripts were used, dating from the 12th until the 14th century AD, from various Mount Athos' monasteries, in the form of microfilms being kept in the Patriarchal Foundation of Patristic Studies in the Monastery of Vladaton in Thessaloniki. Moreover, the sticheron's interpretation from the Metochi of Holy Tomb's manuscript, an autograph by Chourmouzios the Archivist is comparatively presented. Great emphasis is given in the relationship between the old writing (12th-14th AD sticheraria) and the new analytic writing of the 19th century. In addition we attempt to investigate the relationship between the lyrics and the music, and more precisely the connection between the theology of the Holy Archangels and the byzantine chant. The Art of Byzantine Chant is deeply interpreting concepts of the byzantine hymnology, such as the noetic stillness (hesychia), the grandeur of the Holy Archangels, their ever-lasting presence and eternal glorification upon the throne of the Lord, as well as being the mediators between human requests and God.

description: We present photometry of two transits of the giant planet WASP-4b with a photometric precision of 400-800 parts per million and a time sampling of 25-40 seconds. The two midtransit times are determined to within 6 seconds. Together with previously published times, the data are consistent with a constant orbital period, giving no compelling evidence for period variations that would be produced by a satellite or additional planets. Analysis of the new photometry, in combination with stellar-evolutionary modeling, gives a planetary mass and radius of 1.237 +/- 0.064 M_jup and 1.365 +/- 0.021 R_jup. The planet is 15% larger than expected based on previously published models of solar-composition giant planets. With data of the quality presented here, the detection of transits of a "super-Earth" of radius 1.75 R_earth would have been possible.

A new approach for the dynamic modelling of the human knee
Creators: name: Sancisi, Nicola <1979>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2008
Subjects: ING-IND/13 Meccanica applicata alle macchine

description: Mathematical models of the knee joint are important tools which have both
theoretical and practical applications. They are used by researchers to fully understand
the stabilizing role of the components of the joint, by engineers as an aid for
prosthetic design, by surgeons during the planning of an operation or during the
operation itself, and by orthopedists for diagnosis and rehabilitation purposes.
The principal aims of knee models are to reproduce the restraining function of
each structure of the joint and to replicate the relative motion of the bones which
constitute the joint itself. It is clear that the first point is functional to the second
one. However, the standard procedures for the dynamic modelling of the knee
tend to be more focused on the second aspect: the motion of the joint is correctly
replicated, but the stabilizing role of the articular components is somehow lost.
A first contribution of this dissertation is the definition of a novel approach —
called sequential approach — for the dynamic modelling of the knee. The procedure
makes it possible to develop more and more sophisticated models of the
joint by a succession of steps, starting from a first simple model of its passive motion.
The fundamental characteristic of the proposed procedure is that the results
obtained at each step do not worsen those already obtained at previous steps, thus
preserving the restraining function of the knee structures.
The models which stem from the first two steps of the sequential approach are
then presented. The result of the first step is a model of the passive motion of
the knee, comprehensive of the patello-femoral joint. Kinematical and anatomical
considerations lead to define a one degree of freedom rigid link mechanism, whose
members represent determinate components of the joint. The result of the second
step is a stiffness model of the knee. This model is obtained from the first one, by
following the rules of the proposed procedure. Both models have been identified
from experimental data by means of an optimization procedure. The simulated
motions of the models then have been compared to the experimental ones.
Both models accurately reproduce the motion of the joint under the corresponding
loading conditions. Moreover, the sequential approach makes sure the results
obtained at the first step are not worsened at the second step: the stiffness model
can also reproduce the passive motion of the knee with the same accuracy than the
previous simpler model.
The procedure proved to be successful and thus promising for the definition of
more complex models which could also involve the effect of muscular forces.

description: This paper is a sequel of arXiv:0810.4350 [hep-th], and is also devoted to the local "metric-like" unconstrained Lagrangians and field equations for higher-spin fields of mixed symmetry in flat space. Here we complete the previous constrained on-shell formulation of Labastida for Fermi fields, deriving the corresponding constrained Lagrangians both via the Bianchi identities and via the requirement of self-adjointness. We also describe two types of unconstrained Lagrangian formulations: a "minimal" one, containing higher derivatives of the compensator fields, and another non-minimal one, containing only one-derivative terms. We identify classes of these systems that are invariant under Weyl-like symmetry transformations.

description: Understanding the mechanical effects of smooth muscle cell (SMC) contraction on the initiation and the propagation of cardiovascular diseases such as aortic dissection is critical. Framed by elastic lamellar sheets in the lamellar unit, there are SMCs in the media with a distinct radial tilt, which indicates their contribution to the radial strength. However, the mechanical effects of this type of anisotropy have not been fully discussed. Therefore, in this study, we propose a constitutive framework that models the passive and active mechanics of the aorta, taking into account the dispersed nature of the aortic constituents by applying the discrete fibre dispersion method. We suggest an isoparametric approach by evaluating various numerical integration methods and introducing a non-uniform discretization of the unit hemisphere to increase its computational efficiency. Finally, the constitutive parameters are fitted to layer-specific experimental data and initial computational results are briefly presented. The radial tilt of SMCs is also analysed, which has a noticeable influence on the mechanical behaviour of the aorta. In the absence of sufficient experimental data, the results indicate that the active contribution of SMCs has a remarkable impact on the mechanics of the healthy aorta.
Path planning for image based visual servoing

Year: 2008
Subjects: ING-IND/13 Meccanica applicata alle macchine

description: This thesis deals with Visual Servoing and its strictly connected disciplines like projective
geometry, image processing, robotics and non-linear control. More specifically the
work addresses the problem to control a robotic manipulator through one of the largely
used Visual Servoing techniques: the Image Based Visual Servoing (IBVS). In Image
Based Visual Servoing the robot is driven by on-line performing a feedback control loop
that is closed directly in the 2D space of the camera sensor. The work considers the case
of a monocular system with the only camera mounted on the robot end effector (eye
in hand configuration). Through IBVS the system can be positioned with respect to a
3D fixed target by minimizing the differences between its initial view and its goal view,
corresponding respectively to the initial and the goal system configurations: the robot
Cartesian Motion is thus generated only by means of visual informations.
However, the execution of a positioning control task by IBVS is not straightforward because
singularity problems may occur and local minima may be reached where the reached
image is very close to the target one but the 3D positioning task is far from being fulfilled:
this happens in particular for large camera displacements, when the the initial and the
goal target views are noticeably different.
To overcame singularity and local minima drawbacks, maintaining the good properties of
IBVS robustness with respect to modeling and camera calibration errors, an opportune
image path planning can be exploited. This work deals with the problem of generating
opportune image plane trajectories for tracked points of the servoing control scheme (a
trajectory is made of a path plus a time law). The generated image plane paths must be
feasible i.e. they must be compliant with rigid body motion of the camera with respect
to the object so as to avoid image jacobian singularities and local minima problems. In
addition, the image planned trajectories must generate camera velocity screws which are
smooth and within the allowed bounds of the robot. We will show that a scaled 3D motion
planning algorithm can be devised in order to generate feasible image plane trajectories.
Since the paths in the image are off-line generated it is also possible to tune the planning
parameters so as to maintain the target inside the camera field of view even if, in some
unfortunate cases, the feature target points would leave the camera images due to 3D
robot motions.
To test the validity of the proposed approach some both experiments and simulations
results have been reported taking also into account the influence of noise in the path
planning strategy. The experiments have been realized with a 6DOF anthropomorphic
manipulator with a fire-wire camera installed on its end effector: the results demonstrate
the good performances and the feasibility of the proposed approach.

description: Interfaces between materials with differently ordered phases present unique opportunities for exotic physical properties, especially the interplay between ferromagnetism and superconductivity in the ferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures. The investigation of zero- and pi-junctions has been of particular interest for both fundamental physical science and emerging technologies. Here, we report the experimental observation of giant oscillatory Gilbert damping in the superconducting Nb/NiFe/Nb junctions with respect to the NiFe thickness. This observation suggests an unconventional spin pumping and relaxation via zero-energy Andreev bound states that exist only in the Nb/NiFe/Nb pi-junctions, but not in the Nb/NiFe/Nb zero-junctions. Our findings could be important for further exploring the exotic physical properties of ferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures, and potential applications of ferromagnet pi-junctions in quantum computing, such as half-quantum flux qubits.

Cognitive complexity as a variable in interpersonal assessment
Creators: name: Lennox, Vicki Lea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The increasing shortage of trained mental health workers had led to interest in the selection and training of nonprofessionals. One of the best selection techniques devised to date is Goodman's (1969) Group Assessment of Interpersonal Traits (GAIT). However, research in matching of interpersonal variables and therapy outcome has suggested that other therapist characteristics should be investigated in regards to GAIT performance. The present study was an attempt to further refine the GAIT, with specific reference to the role of cognitive complexity. It was hypothesized that matching of cognitive complexity within GAIT groups would effect GAIT ratings. Forty eight female nursing students were assigned to three conditions of cognitive complexity, high, low and heterogeneous, on the basis of repertory grid scores. Groups of four participated in the GAIT procedure. Each subject then rated herself and every other member of her group on seven interpersonal variables. In addition, each subject rated herself as she thought the other members in the group would rate her. Results provided partial support for the hypothesis that cognitive complexity would effect GAIT ratings. The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
Phonon laser action in a tunable, two-level photonic molecule

description: The phonon analog of an optical laser has long been a subject of interest. We demonstrate a compound microcavity system, coupled to a radio-frequency mechanical mode, that operates in close analogy to a two-level laser system. An inversion produces gain, causing phonon laser action above a pump power threshold of around 50 $μ$W. The device features a continuously tunable, gain spectrum to selectively amplify mechanical modes from radio frequency to microwave rates. Viewed as a Brillouin process, the system accesses a regime in which the phonon plays what has traditionally been the role of the Stokes wave. For this reason, it should also be possible to controllably switch between phonon and photon laser regimes. Cooling of the mechanical mode is also possible.

A sharp Fermi edge is observed and a lower limit of 0.5 eV is found for the surface Hubbard U, pointing to a strongly-correlated metallic character of thin-film simple cubic RbC60. A molecular charge state is identified in the valence band and core level photoemission spectra which arises from C602- anions and contributes to the spectral intensity at the Fermi level.

We show that several known braneworld models can be embedded into this family. Then we give a qualitative analysis of spectra of field fluctuations in backgrounds with broken Lorentz invariance. We also elaborate on one particular model and study spectra of scalar and spinor fields in it. It turns out that the spectra we have found possess very peculiar and unexpected properties.

description: Supermassive black holes (BHs) appear to be ubiquitous at the center of all galaxies which have been observed at high enough sensitivities and resolution with the Hubble Space Telescope. Their masses are found to be tightly linked with the masses and velocity dispersions of their host galaxies. On the other hand, BHs are widely held to constitute the central engines of quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) in general. It is however still unclear how BHs have grown, and whether they have co-evolved with their hosts. In this Review I discuss how, in ways independent of specific models, constraints on the growth history of BHs and their host galaxies have been set by matching the statistics of local BHs to the emissivity, number density, and clustering properties of AGNs at different cosmological epochs. I also present some new results obtained through a novel numerical code which evolves the BH mass function and clustering adopting broad distributions of Eddington ratios. I finally review BH evolution in a wider cosmological context, connecting BH growth to galaxy evolution.

This simplified derivation may be useful for pedagogical purposes.

description: The optical properties of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are dominated by Coulomb bound quasi-particles, such as excitons, trions, and biexcitons. Due to the number and density of possible states, attributing different spectral peaks to the specific origin can be difficult. In particular, there has been much conjecture around the presence, binding energy and/or nature of biexcitons in these materials. In this work, we remove any ambiguity in identifying and separating the optically excited biexciton in monolayer WS2 using two-quantum multidimensional coherent spectroscopy (2Q-MDCS), a technique that directly and selectively probes doubly-excited states, such as biexcitons. The energy difference between the unbound two-exciton state and the biexciton is the fundamental definition of biexciton binding energy and is measured to be 26 \pm 2 meV. Furthermore, resolving the biexciton peaks in 2Q-MDCS allows us to identify that the biexciton observed here is composed of two bright excitons in opposite valleys.

description: Over the past decades, estuarine ecosystems have suffered significant habitat loss. Multi-habitat living shorelines (MHLS) implementation can restore lost habitat function. Researchers constructed a MHLS in 2016-2017 in Newport Bay, CA by restoring eelgrass and oyster beds together and in isolation at each of four sites. I hypothesized that eelgrass would increase sedimentation rates onto adjacent oyster beds, causing declines in oyster and other filter feeder biomass and per capita condition indices (CI). One year (2018) and four years (2021) post-restoration, I excavated filter feeders from replicate quadrats on oyster beds, identified them by species, weighed them to determine wet and dry tissue and shell weight, and quantified CI. I quantified sedimentation by measuring mud deposition on oyster beds using a periodontal probe and quantified eelgrass densities using quadrat surveys. Mud deposition was not affected by eelgrass presence or density, except in 2018 at one of three sites, where deposition was higher when oyster beds were restored without eelgrass. After one year, eelgrass presence decreased native oyster and non-native mussel biomass and increased native and non-native mussel condition indices. Eelgrass density had no effect on filter feeder biomass or CI at one and four years post-restoration. Increasing understanding of the relationship filter feeders share with eelgrass will inform future management decisions about whether to restore multi-habitat living shorelines together or in isolation.

description: Crowding is defined as the negative effect obtained by adding visual distractors
around a central target which has to be identified. Some studies have suggested the
presence of a marked crowding effect in developmental dyslexia (e.g. Atkinson, 1991;
Spinelli et al., 2002).
Inspired by Spinelli’s (2002) experimental design, we explored the hypothesis
that the crowding effect may affect dyslexics’ response times (RTs) and accuracy in
identification tasks dealing with words, pseudowords, illegal non-words and symbolstrings.
Moreover, our study aimed to clarify the relationship between the crowding
phenomenon and the word-reading process, in an inter-language comparison
perspective. For this purpose we studied twenty-two French dyslexics and twenty-two
Italian dyslexics (total forty-four dyslexics), compared to forty-four subjects matched
for reading level (22 French and 22 Italians) and forty-four chronological age-matched
subjects (22 French and 22 Italians).
Children were all tested on reading and cognitive abilities. Results showed no
differences between French and Italian participants suggesting that performances were
homogenous. Dyslexic children were all significantly impaired in words and
pseudowords reading compared to their normal reading controls.
Regarding the identification task with which we assessed crowding effect, both
accuracy and RTs showed a lexicality effect which meant that the recognition of words
was more accurate and faster in words than pseudowords, non-words and symbolstrings.
Moreover, compared to normal readers, dyslexics’ RTs and accuracy were
impaired only for verbal materials but not for non-verbal material; these results are in
line with the phonological hypothesis (Griffiths & Snowling, 2002; Snowling, 2000;
2006) . RTs revealed a general crowding effect (RTs in the crowding condition were
slower than those recorded in the isolated condition) affecting all the subjects’
performances. This effect, however, emerged to be not specific for dyslexics. Data
didn’t reveal a significant effect of language, allowing the generalization of the
obtained results.
We also analyzed the performance of two subgroups of dyslexics, categorized
according to their reading abilities. The two subgroups produced different results
regarding the crowding effect and type of material, suggesting that it is meaningful to
take into account also the heterogeneity of the dyslexia disorder.
Finally, we also analyzed the relationship of the identification task with both
reading and cognitive abilities.
In conclusion, this study points out the importance of comparing visual tasks
performances of dyslexic participants with those of their reading level-matched
controls. This approach may improve our comprehension of the potential causal link
between crowding and reading (Goswami, 2003).

description: The EOSC-Nordic project has pledged to implement FAIR in the Nordic and Baltic regions and aims to encourage, support, and assist the research community to FAIRify their data. This will be achieved by communicating the benefits of going FAIR to a broad scientific community. The project has selected a hundred repositories and evaluated them consistently according to their FAIR maturity. This deliverable describes the continued assessment of FAIR maturity for Nordic and Baltic scientific digital repositories. The text highlights the results of the FAIR assessment exercise using the F-UJI tool; however, in contrast to the previous deliverable (D4.1), the focus is in this deliverable on raising FAIR awareness by engaging the community rather than focusing on the numeric results of the assessment and changes seen over time. The deliverable first sets out the background and methodology of the FAIR assessment study, including a notion of the change of assessment tools. This is followed by a section on the results of the FAIR assessments and the community outreach activities made within the project in an attempt to raise further awareness of FAIR among data repository representatives. Lastly, the document raises attention to the ongoing discussions around contemporary FAIR assessments within the EOSC.
description: This deliverable is approved by the EC on 2nd March 2023. The EOSC-Nordic project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 857652.

description: Timely diagnosis is important for saving the life of epileptic patients. In past few years, a lot of treatments are available for epilepsy. These treatments require use of anti-seizure drugs but are not effective in controlling frequency of seizure. There is need of removal of an affected region using surgery. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely used technique for monitoring the brain activity and widely popular for seizure region detection. It is used before surgery for locating affected region. This manual process, using EEG graphs, is time consuming and requires deep expertise. In the present paper, a model has been proposed that preserves the true nature of an EEG signal in form of textual one-dimensional vector. The proposed model achieves a state of art performance for Bonn University dataset giving an average sensitivity, specificity of 81% and 81.4% respectively for classification of EEG data among all five classes. Also for binary classification achieving 99.9%, 99.5% score value for specificity and sensitivity instead of 2D models used by other researchers. Thus, developed system will significantly help neurosurgeons in the increase of their performance.

description: Epilepsy is one of the most occurring neurological disease globally emerged back in 4000 BC. It is affecting around 50 million people of all ages these days. The trait of this disease is recurrent seizures. In the past few decades, the treatments available for seizure control have improved a lot with the advancements in the field of medical science and technology. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely used technique for monitoring the brain activity and widely popular for seizure region detection. It is performed before surgery and also to predict seizure at the time operation which is useful in neuro stimulation device. But in most of cases visual examination is done by neurologist in order to detect and classify patterns of the disease but this requires a lot of pre-domain knowledge and experience. This all in turns put a pressure on neurosurgeons and leads to time wastage and also reduce their accuracy and efficiency. There is a need of some automated systems in arena of information technology like use of neural networks in deep learning which can assist neurologists. In the present paper, a model is proposed to give an accuracy of 98.33% which can be used for development of automated systems. The developed system will significantly help neurologists in their performance.

description: We present new experimental constraints on the WIMP-nucleon spin-dependent elastic cross-sections using data from the first science run of ZEPLIN-III, a two-phase xenon experiment searching for galactic dark matter WIMPs based at the Boulby mine. Analysis of $\sim$450 kg$\cdot$days fiducial exposure revealed a most likely signal of zero events, leading to a 90%-confidence upper limit on the pure WIMP-neutron cross-section of $σ_n=1.8\times 10^{-2}$ pb at 55 GeV/$c^2$ WIMP mass. Recent calculations of the nuclear spin structure based on the Bonn CD nucleon-nucleon potential were used for the odd-neutron isotopes $^{129}$Xe and $^{131}$Xe. These indicate that the sensitivity of xenon targets to the spin-dependent WIMP-proton interaction is much lower than implied by previous calculations, whereas the WIMP-neutron sensitivity is impaired only by a factor of $\sim$2.

description: Pathology deals with the practice of discovering the reasons for disease by analyzing the body samples. The most used way in this field, is to use histology which is basically studying and viewing microscopic structures of cell and tissues. The slide viewing method is widely being used and converted into digital form to produce high resolution images. This enabled the area of deep learning and machine learning to deep dive into this field of medical sciences. In the present study, a neural based network has been proposed for classification of blood cells images into various categories. When input image is passed through the proposed architecture and all the hyper parameters and dropout ratio values are used in accordance with proposed algorithm, then model classifies the blood images with an accuracy of 95.24%. The performance of proposed model is better than existing standard architectures and work done by various researchers. Thus model will enable development of pathological system which will reduce human errors and daily load on laboratory men. This will in turn help pathologists in carrying out their work more efficiently and effectively.
