background: dermatophytes are the most common causative agents of superficial mycoses. species identification of these fungi is important from therapeutic and epidemiological point of wive. traditional approaches for identification of dermatophytes at the species level, relying on macroscopic and microscopic features of the colonies, usually are time-consuming and unreliable in many circumstanc...

Illegally consumption of electric power, termed as non-technical losses for the distribution companies is one dominant factors all over world many years. Although there are some conventional methods to identify these irregularities, such physical inspection meters at consumer premises etc, but it requires large number manpower and time; then also does not seem be adequate. Now a days various al...

India loses thousands of metric tons tomato crop every year due to pests and diseases. Tomato leaf disease is a major issue that causes significant losses farmers possess threat the agriculture sector. Understanding how does an algorithm learn classify different types will help scientist engineers built accurate models for detection. Convolutional neural networks with backpropagation algorithms...

We participated in the i2b2 smoking status classification challenge task. The purpose of this task was to evaluate the ability of systems to automatically identify patient smoking status from discharge summaries. Our submission included several techniques that we compared and studied, including hot-spot identification, zero-vector filtering, inverse class frequency weighting, error-correcting o...

Many control systems encountered in physical, automobile engineering, economic phenomena and biomedical engineering fields are nonlinear and nonstationary to some extent. In general, nonlinear processes can be adequately characterized by a nonlinear model. Recently, a system can be obtained directly from experimental input/ output data by determining the system structure and the numerical value...

The purpose of this paper is using the concepts of value engineering (VE) in evaluating the improvement caused by preventive maintenance (PM) systems in construction project. A real case is used to show how we can implement the proposed method. VE is the systematic application of recognized techniques by multi-disciplined teams that identifies the function of a product or service, establishes a...

BACKGROUND The reliability of counts for estimating population dynamics and disease burdens in communities depends on the availability of a common unique identifier for matching general population data with health facility data. Biometric data has been explored as a feasible common identifier between the health data and sociocultural data of resident members in rural communities within the Kint...
