A Survey in Deep Learning Model for Image Annotation

Image annotation is generating the human-understandable natural language sentence for images. Annotating the image with sentence is one kind of the computer vision process that includes in the artificial intelligence. Annotation is working by combining computer vision and natural language processing. In image annotation, there are two types: sentence based annotation and single word annotation. Deep learning can get the more accurate sentence for the image. This paper is the survey for image annotation that applied the deep learning model. This discusses existing methods, technical difficulty, popular datasets, evaluation metrics that mostly used for image annotation

Hand Gesture Detection and Recognition System: A Critical Review

Hand gesture recognition is used enormously in the recent years for interact human and machine. There are many type of gestures such as arm, hand, face and many other but hand gestures give more meaningful information than other types of gestures.  There are many techniques for hand gesture recognition, such as color marker approach, vision-based approach, glove-based approach and depth-based approach. The main purpose of gesture recognition system is to develop a useful system which can recognize human hand gestures and used them to control electronic devices. This paper reviewed the most common used hand gesture recognition methods, tools and analysis the strength and weakness of these methods, and lists the current challenging problems of hand gesture recognition system

Transmission Pattern of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis and Its Implication for Tuberculosis Control in Eastern Rural China

OBJECTIVE: Transmission patterns of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) may be influenced by differences in socio-demographics, local tuberculosis (TB) endemicity and efficaciousness of TB control programs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of DOTS on the transmission of drug-resistant TB in eastern rural China. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of all patients diagnosed with drug-resistant TB over a one-year period in two rural Chinese counties with varying lengths of DOTS implementation. Counties included Deqing, with over 11 years' DOTS implementation and Guanyun, where DOTS was introduced 1 year prior to start of this study. We combined demographic, clinical and epidemiologic information with IS6110-based restricted fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and Spoligotyping analysis of MTB isolates. In addition, we conducted DNA sequencing of resistance determining regions to first-line anti-tuberculosis agents. RESULTS: Of the 223 drug-resistant isolates, 73(32.7%) isolates were identified with clustered IS6110RFLP patterns. The clustering proportion among total drug-resistant TB was higher in Guanyun than Deqing (26/101.vs.47/122; p,0.04), but not significantly different among the 53 multidrug-resistant isolates (10/18.vs.24/35; p,0.35). Patients with cavitary had increased risk of clustering in both counties. In Guanyun, patients with positive smear test or previous treatment history had a higher clustering proportion. Beijing genotype and isolates resistant to isoniazid and/or rifampicin were more likely to be clustered. Of the 73 patients with clustered drug-resistant isolates, 71.2% lived in the same or neighboring villages. Epidemiological link (household and social contact) was confirmed in 12.3% of the clustered isolates. CONCLUSION: Transmission of drug-resistant TB in eastern rural China is characterized by small clusters and limited geographic spread. Our observations highlight the need for supplementing DOTS with additional strategies, including active case finding at the village level, effective treatment for patients with cavities and drug susceptibility testing for patients at increased risk for drug-resistance

Extended Boolean Information Retrieval System Using P-norm

Today, vast amounts of information areavailable electronically through the World-Wide-Web (www). Information Retrieval is one of theretrieval systems which is browsing throughdocuments and searching for specific information.There are many retrieval models referred to asextended Boolean models such as fuzzy set model,Waller-Kraft, Paice, P-norm and Infinite-Onemodel.These models provide a ranking of the retrieveddocuments in order of decreasing relevance to thequery. This system intends to implement aninformation retrieval system using ExtendedBoolean Model. P-norm scheme of ExtendedBoolean Model is used in this system. And thesystem is implemented for searching job. Tocalculate similarity, term weight of the documentand query weight are calculated first. Then theterms of document are checked depending on theuser query and similarities are calculatedaccording to the P-norm scheme. As a result, therelevant job information according to user'spreference is displayed to user. This system isimplemented by using Microsoft SQL server andC# programming

Applying Mobile Agent in Parallel Computing for Solving Numerical Equations

Mobile Agent technology has the ability to travel from host to host in different or same network. Mobile Agents can migrate on themselves, their program and their state across the network and can execute the process at remote site. It motivates force in reducing network traffic and operates asynchronously and autonomously of the process. For these reason, Mobile Agent has been an effective choice for parallel and distributed computing. This paper presents the usage of Mobile Agent in parallel computing for solving the numerical problem of equations such as Gauss Jordan Iteration. Master-worker design of mobile agent will be used in solving the system of equations in parallel. The master agent will send a number of worker agents to different processors, calculate in parallel and will return the partial result to the host site after solving them. After all calculations, the master agent will produce the final result

Online Auction System by Using Mobile Agents

Online auctions have become an effective approach in the buying and selling process, employed in the rapidly emerging Internet-based electronic commerce platforms. Through internet, the limitation of distance and region are broken for business behaviors. Especially the internet and WWW technologies broken the limitation of space and the mobile agent techniques can solve the problem of this limitation. In this paper, an online auction system by using mobile agents is proposed for user-desired products/services. Among many types of auctions, English auction and Reverse auction will be proposed

Possible Role of the Ca²⁺/Mn²⁺ P-Type ATPase Pmr1p on Artemisinin Toxicity through an Induction of Intracellular Oxidative Stress

Artemisinins are widely used to treat Plasmodium infections due to their high clinical efficacy; however, the antimalarial mechanism of artemisinin remains unresolved. Mutations in P. falciparum ATPase6 (PfATP6), a sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-transporting ATPase, are associated with increased tolerance to artemisinin. We utilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model to examine the involvement of Pmr1p, a functional homolog of PfATP6, on the toxicity of artemisinin. Our analysis demonstrated that cells lacking Pmr1p are less susceptible to growth inhibition from artemisinin and its derivatives. No association between sensitivity to artemisinin and altered trafficking of the drug efflux pump Pdr5p, calcium homeostasis, or protein glycosylation was found in pmr1∆ yeast. Basal ROS levels are elevated in pmr1∆ yeast and artemisinin exposure does not enhance ROS accumulation. This is in contrast to WT cells that exhibit a significant increase in ROS production following treatment with artemisinin. Yeast deleted for PMR1 are known to accumulate excess manganese ions that can function as ROS-scavenging molecules, but no correlation between manganese content and artemisinin resistance was observed. We propose that loss of function mutations in Pmr1p in yeast cells and PfATP6 in P. falciparum are protective against artemisinin toxicity due to reduced intracellular oxidative damage

Prevalence and determinants of tobacco use among youth in Myanmar: review of findings from Global Youth Tobacco Survey 2016 Data

Background The study aims to reassess the health, knowledge and practice of students, (9-11 Grades) after the introduction of New National Tobacco Control program for 5 years. This study includes data on prevalence of cigarettes and other tobacco use as well as information on five determinants of tobacco use: access, exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS), cessation, media and advertising, and other indicators. Methods Myanmar GYTS uses a two-stage sample design with schools selected proportional to enrolment size. A total of 3633 eligible students in grades 9-11 completed the survey ,of which 2621 were aged 13-15 years Results Between 2011 and 2016, a reduction in the proportion of students currently use any tobacco products is observed (a fall from overall prevalence among 13-15 year olds of 18.6% to 14%). but currently smoked cigarettes had increased during the period from 6.8% to 8.3%. Currently use any smokeless tobacco products had decreased (9.8% to 5.7%). 74.5% of current smokers tried to stop smoking in the past 12 months.33.2% are exposed to tobacco smoke at home as well as 28.4% are exposed tobacco smoke inside any enclosed public place. 61% of current cigarette smokers bought cigarettes from a store, shop or street vendors. 42.3% of students noticed tobacco advertisements on point of sale. 65% of students thought other people's smoking is harmful to them. Conclusions Myanmar Youth Tobacco program should strengthen in all schools to be 100% tobacco-free and also incorporate training of school personnel on tobacco control, specifically youth-focused programs as joint efforts between Ministry of Health and Sports and Ministry of Education in collaboration with related ministries. Enforcement of the national legislation on tobacco control needs to be strengthened, and the National Tobacco Control Program needs to be more comprehensive incorporating measures to reduce smokeless tobacco use and other non-cigarette tobacco products
