Smart phone apps for medical tablets identification I (apps development)

In recent technological advanced years, smartphones have become an essential part in our daily lives. It has been proven time after time that smartphones and its functions are very useful and a massive help to society. With growing advances in the society in every aspect, there has been tremendous improvements and new findings in pharmaceutical fields every day. Countless types of medicines in forms of tablets, capsules, liquids, etc... are scattered around in public each day. Given the fact that having numerous types of medical tablets all over the place, it is almost impossible for a layman to identify the medicine once the tablets are being separated from the packaging. Thus, this project aims to develop a smartphone application to identify the medical tablets. In this project, the database has been developed and implemented for medicines that data were collected. Basic user interface of the application has been implemented for the identifying and classification of medicines. In this report, it has been discussed intensively on what the author has done as well as the results achieved for this project.Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Study of Assigning Imperfect Attribute Values for Classifier

One of the interesting and important fields of research in data mining is classification on imperfect data. Unknown value can appear in real-world data sets at the stage of data collection. These facts lead to the imperfection of the decision system. The attention of this paper is to study the methodologies in making a decision point on such incompletion of data sets. We found a well-known rough set (RS) based classification scheme: Learning from Examples based on Rough Sets (LERS) that could be treated missing data, numeric data, and inconsistent data set. In this study, we utilize two interpreted meaning of imperfect values: lost values and attribute-concept values. The classification system is illustrated using a case study of iris dataset from the UCI  repository. The system is intended to present a comprehensive view of assigning on imperfect attributes value that generates better result among lost and attribute-concept values

Secure SMS System using RSA Encryption Based on Android platform

To send text messages free of charge using an existing mobile number, you can use this system like SMS messenger and install it on your mobile device. This apk is an application that enables you to text and sends small images to other this apk’s users without charge. To send a secure message, secure sessions must exist between the sending device and all the recipient’s devices. Asymmetric key cryptography algorithm RSA is used for encryption and decryption of the message. The user can obtain the security of text messages using RSA. This system provides a secure message on the mobile phone. Every SMS packet contains 140 bytes of effective data. Mobile users send short messages to the short message center through mobile terminals, and then the short message center transmits these short messages to target users

Performance Comparison of Asymmetric Cryptography (Case Study-mail Message)

Data encryption is well known as essential for today's technology. ElGamal encryption and RSA algorithmis made before storing mails to mail server. ElGamal decryption and RSA decryption is made after retrieving mailsfrom mail server. This system is implemented to secure mail server system for local government's important mailmessages. These algorithms consume a considerable amount of time and resources of memory, CPU time, andcomputation time to encrypt and decrypt data. This paper discuss the results comparison of these algorithms in termof encryption time, decryption time, and memory usage over variable file sizes. The results show that RSA does Fasterencryption process in compare with ElGamal. However, ElGamal decryption process is quicker than RSA. This systemis also expressed comparison of storage Size between RSA and ElGamal. Both of these algorithms are cryptographicpublic-key algorithms but have roles in different techniques. This system is using C# programming language and SQLServer to store mail messages

Petrochemical Characteristics of Granitoid Rocks in the Southern part of Maungmagan Area, Launglon Township, Tanintharyi Region

The research area is situated in Launglon Township. Dewei District, Tanintharyi Region, covering about 64 square kilometers. It lies in the Shan Tanintharyi Block, representing the Southern part of tin-bearing granitoid belt of Southeast Asia. The area is made up of NNWSSE trending granitoid reeks; including porphyritic biotite granite, biotite granite. Porphyritic biotite microgranite, hornblende biotite granodiorite and aplite. Structurally, two minor fault systems are recognized from the satellite image and field evidences. These are NW-SE and Nearly N-S trending longitudinal fault and NE-SW trending cross fault Joint pattern shows that there were NE-SW compressional and NW- SE extensional force in the area Nearly N-S trending aplite dyke is intruded into biotite granite and then aplite dyke contains molybdenite which is in important source of economic interest. Geochemically, the granitod rocks fall in the granite and monzonite field. They are S1baIkaiinc affinity and belong to the calc-alkaline series. Moreover, porphyritic biotite granite biotite granite and porphyritic biotite microgranite fall in the high potassium calc-alkaline series hornblende biotite grandiorite falls in the calc-alkaline series. metaluminous to slightly peraluminous in nature, end I type in origin The decreasing of Al2O3, CaO, P2O5, MgO, Fe2O3, MnO and TiO2 with increasing SiO2 suggests that the granitoid rocks were formed due to fractional crystallization during magmatic evolution According to field evidences and petrographic characteristics, the granitoid rocks in the study area are considered to be magmatic a igin. Liquidus temperature can be estimated for porphyritic biotite granite and porphyritic biotite microgranite as 705°C, biotite granite as 710ºC and that of hornblende biotite granodiorite is 695°C. Generally, it may be suggested that the granitoid rocks in the study area may crystallize at depth between 20 Km and 22km and the depth of emplacement is estimated at mesozone. Radiometic dating by U Pb Zircon age method indicates that the age of porphyritic biotite granite is 61±2 Ma, biotite granite is 60.58±0.75 Ma end that of porphyritic biotite microgranite is 59.04±0.53 Ma. Therefore, the granitoid rocks in the study area were successively emplaced during Paleocene. Granites from the study area can be used as decorative stones and dimensional stones. Granites can also be extracted for construction and road materials. The economic interest of the study area is the occurrence of ore mineral especially molybdenite and the economic minerals of rare earth elements

Successful Stem Cell Transplantation in a Patient with Pretransplant Hepatic Inflammatory Pseudotumour

Inflammatory pseudotumours (IPT) are rare benign neoplasms of unknown aetiology. We present a case of hepatic IPT which was incidentally discovered in a patient with relapsed B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) undergoing pretransplant workup. After investigation to exclude an infective cause she underwent a reduced intensity conditioning stem cell transplant (SCT) successfully and currently remains well and in remission. On repeat liver MRI after SCT, the IPT was seen to be resolving. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of an adult patient with hepatic IPT successfully undergoing SCT. The reduction in size of the IPT after SCT also suggests an inflammatory rather than an infective aetiology for IPT

Enhancing respiratory disease surveillance to detect COVID-19 in shelters for displaced persons, Thailand–Myanmar border, 2020–2021

We developed surveillance guidance for COVID-19 in 9 temporary camps for displaced persons along the Thailand-Myanmar border. Arrangements were made for testing of persons presenting with acute respiratory infection, influenza-like illness, or who met the Thailand national COVID-19 Person Under Investigation case definition. In addition, testing was performed for persons who had traveled outside of the camps in outbreak-affected areas or who departed Thailand as resettling refugees. During the first 18 months of surveillance, May 2020-October 2021, a total of 6,190 specimens were tested, and 15 outbreaks (i.e., >1 confirmed COVID-19 cases) were detected in 7 camps. Of those, 5 outbreaks were limited to a single case. Outbreaks during the Delta variant surge were particularly challenging to control. Adapting and implementing COVID-19 surveillance measures in the camp setting were successful in detecting COVID-19 outbreaks and preventing widespread disease during the initial phase of the pandemic in Thailand
