The purpose of this article is areview of the automatic methods of cancer detection in terms of accuracy, speed, error, and the number of properties and we have selected the breast cancer as the subject of the case study. The data used in this academic study area courtesy of the UCI in California. This database is called The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Datasets and includes699 data units divided into benign and malignant classes. Ten properties wereassigned to each datum. Four types of algorithmsare used in this article, namely, classification algorithms, vector machine algorithms, neural networks algorithms, and data mining algorithms.Each category was evaluated separately and the best method in each category was identified in terms of accuracy, speed, error, and the number of properties.
Gesture recognition is a mathematical analysis of movement of body parts (hand / face) done with the help of computing device. It helps computers to understand human body language and build a more powerful link between humans and machines. Many research works are developed in the field of hand gesture recognition. Each works have achieved different recognition accuracies with different hand gesture datasets, however most of the firms are having insufficient insight to develop necessary achievements to meet their development in real time datasets. Under such circumstances, it is very essential to have a complete knowledge of recognition methods of hand gesture recognition, its strength and weakness and the development criteria as well. Lots of reports declare its work to be better but a complete relative analysis is lacking in these works. In this paper, we provide a study of representative techniques for hand gesture recognition, recognition methods and also presented a brief introduction about hand gesture recognition. The main objective of this work is to highlight the position of various recognition techniqueswhich can indirectly help in developing new techniques for solving the issues in the hand gesture recognition systems. Moreover we present a concise description about the hand gesture recognition systems recognition methods and the instructions for future research.
The last decade or so has seen an increasing global shift in partnership emphasis as a core to a new form of governance. For successive UK Governments partnership and other forms of inter-organisational working have become increasingly central to UK public sector managers. This paper will attempt to review the principal factors which may complicate the effectiveness of the strategy process in the context of partnership. In so doing it provides a historical review of motivation for multi-organisational partnerships, a discussion of the possible challenges in the diversity and structural dimensions and a review of the role of partnership managers.
The paper is devoted to detail an analysis united kingdom’s pull out of European Union economy called Brexit; the aim is to look at the implication with an objective of preventing such political earthquake in further. By way of qualitative analysis of relevant secondary source predicated on the Marxian assumption of the political economy; the paper posits the dynamic of the politics of international economic relation as it is manifest between European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK). The paper argues that economic and political destiny of people should not be determined in such formulaic manner. However, political leaders who don’t want sad outcomes only have to provide good leadership and meet the people’s expectation before referendumism take place. The paper recommend that British in the final analysis is yet to come to terms with certain of modern realities, Nigeria can also be caught between nostalgia and their future. Referendum should be a great lesson for Nigeria but it is highly recommended.
Design, setting, participants & measurements: Three hundred and thirty eight patients were included in the study. They presented to the endoscopy suite at University College Hospital Galway, Ireland (UCHG) with upper gastrointestinal symptoms. The age range is 21-90 years with a median age of 52 years, 62% females, and 24% diabetics. They were divided into 3 groups 18-30 years, 31-60 years, and 61-90 years. The prevalence of H. pylori among the different spectrum of age is calculated using different methods of diagnosing H. pylori. Reliabilities of the diagnostic tests: The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for (i) Rapid urease test (RUT), (ii) ELISA, (iii) Histology and (iv) Culture. The rapid urease test was found to have a high sensitivity and specificity (89.5% and 96.8%), respectively. Although estimation of serum IgG H. pylori antibody by ELISA is relatively non-invasive procedure, unfortunately, it lacks sufficient sensitivity (63%) to be used as a sole diagnostic test for H. pylori infection. Histology on the other hand is widely available in most hospitals and has a relatively high sensitivity (77.4%) and specificity (75%). Culture of H. pylori was found to be highly specific (100%) and sufficiently sensitive (86.2%). Prevalence of H. pylori infection: The prevalence of H. pylori is assessed in the different age groups. There was a substantial increase in the prevalence of H. pylori infection with increasing age up to the age 61 years. In this study the highest prevalence of infection was found in the age group 31-60 years. The overall prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms as assessed by histology (73%), culture (53%), serum IgG ELISA (56%), and rapid urease test (65%). Conclusion: The prevalent of Helicobacter pylori infection are worldwide and the infection rate is intimately related to age, ethnicity, and socio-economic factors. The sensitivity and specificity of the different m
The growing challenge of security in Nigeria is of concern to all and every effort must be employed to combat this challenge. Some of the pertinent questions raised in the paper are, Can our Information Technology skills & strategy guarantee internal security in Nigeria? Do the security agencies have proper Information Technology Infrastructure in place for the purpose of information gathering, sharing and dissemination? Do they have adequate surveillance equipment? Information technology (IT) will play a critical role in strengthening Nigeria’s National security against potential future attacks and threat. Specifically, IT will help enable the nation to identify potential threats, share information more readily, provide mechanisms to protect the Nation, and develop response capabilities. This paper examines key trends and developments in information technology, and the implications of those developments on National Security. Focus is on Terrorism. The paper also examines the prospects for the future, particularly the threat of terrorism. Finally, it summarizes initiatives and recommendations for improving National Security.
This paper presents an econometric analysis of the profitability generated at the initiation of the corporates acquisition programs by French investors. These programs generally launched by the firms directors, need to have a high frequency of acquisition attempts, in order to cover fixed costs of the program and generate profits, which they increase the value of the firm and enrich the shareholders. The French “SME” succeed better than large companies in the launch of acquisition programs. The hypothesis of the announcement effect was been verified, and the two others, were rejected by the t-student test. In a subsampletwo “SME”, Guerbet and Sartorius from Healthcare sector have a positive value. These results show clearly that the corporate acquisition programs are projects of value-creating investment for French “SME”.
LED Fluorimeter has been used to measure the uranium content of the ground water samples of Mohali and Fatehgarh districts of North Punjab (India).33 locations have been selected for the present investigation. The aim of this study is to investigate the uranium content of the ground water in Northern districts of Punjab for sake of comparison with its occurrence in Southern districts of Punjab; and to assess the radiological and chemical risk due to the uranium present through ingestion. The uranium concentration of the water samples of the studied villages varies from 0.63 to 57.82 μgl-1 with an average value of 16.93 μgl-1.Theuranium content of all the samples in groundwater lies within the safe limit of 60 μgl-1(ppb) of uranium proposed by AERB, India.
Punjab, the land of five rivers, is facing one of the worst crisis in its history. Its youth is trapped in drugs, marginal farmers are trapped in bank loans and are forced to commit suicides, the financial situation is so dismal that the State is in a debt trap, and the moral fabric of vibrant Punjabi society is under attack by internal and external contradictions. However, I am not going to focus on the obvious but will like to investigate the long term effects of Ecological Disaster hovering over Punjab. During 1990s, when our research group in Guru Nanak Dev University was sanctioned a research project by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) to undertake a survey for Environmental Radiation Health Hazards to population of Punjab, we could never imagine the consequences would be so alarming? Our aim was to assess the environmental radiation dose to inhabitants due to Radon gas emanating from the soil; the source of this gas being radioactive Uranium in soil and groundwater. We reported that in Malwa belt, the radiation dose is 20% higher compared with other districts of Punjab. However, there was no imminent danger to public health due to presence of indoor Radon in homes.
The effects of firms’ characteristics on the growth of medium and small business in developing country. This study is important to both academic research and policy development because of the significant contribution these businesses could make to economic development, the growth of employment and the generation of new innovations. For research design; crosssectional, descriptive and inferential designs study were used in the study. The study used both primary and secondary data. Pertaining to data analysis the researchers used quantitative data analysis techniques mainly descriptive analysis using percentages, tables and mean were employed. While for inferential statistics like, chi-square and ANOVA were used to test the statistically significant difference (independency) of variables, and statistically significant mean difference among different business sectors. Hence, as per result of this study majority of small and medium enterprise were far from raw materials. The farness of the firms from raw material may negatively affect their growth of small and medium business Majority of the small and medium businesses in Ethiopia are either owned by a single individual or are family businesses.
