Diagnosis Of Selected Human Eye Diseases Using Artificial Neural Networks

ABSTRACT The human eye is a vital organ of vision, which gives us the sense of sight, and is of utmost importance in all day to day activities. However, there are many diseases that affect the human eye and can lead to blindness. The major causes of blindness include glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and other corneal and retinal infections. However, most of these conditions can be prevented with an early diagnosis. There are several techniques of diagnosis in digital health which can be used f...

Development Of A Nigerian Vehicle Plate Character Recognition System Using Template Matching

ABSTRACT Tracking of vehicles, manage on-site car parking spaces, and warehouse traffic are problem that need real-time solution and can be solve by using character recognition in vehicle plate which can be obtain by using different classifier e.g. artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, Neural-fuzzy hybridization, and generic algorithm, template matching which can solve regression and binary classification problems. This project aims is to develop a system that will detect and recognize pla...

Short Messages Technique In Health Level 7(HL7)

Abstract Proper management of health information is an important in providing safe and efficient patient care. Recent studies shown that adoption of IT (information technology) in health care participate in improving the quality of care, preventing of medical errors, reducing of health care cost. The slaw adoption of it in health care can be result of many factors like doubt of benefit vs. cost of it. One of information technology systems is hl7 (health level 7) which is a software program r...

Effect Of Using Basalt And Limestone As Coarse Aggregate In Concrete Mixtures

ABSTRACT In this study, concrete mixtures were tested to effect of basalt and limestone as coarse aggregate and evaluate their efficiency on fresh and hardened concrete to achieve the design compressive strengths of [25N/mm2]. By using different proportions is 25%, 50%, 75% and100 %from the weight of coarse aggregate. The study was carried out for 6 types of concrete mixes designed by British Standard, compressive strength of concrete and workability were measured in the reconstruction of ma...

Assessment Of The Effectiveness Of Blue Nile And White Nile Water Treatment Plants In Khartoum State )A Case Study Of Bahri, Mogran, Alshajara And Jabal Awlia Plants)

Abstract Treatment of water is considered as a critical challenge especially in developing countries since this treatment is an essential facility to conserve the public health and environment by eliminating of waterborne diseases and pathogens and make it acceptable to consumers. The objective of this research is to assess the efficiency of Blue Nile (Bahri and Mogran) and White Nile (Alshajra and Jabal Awlia) water treatment plants which consist to conventional water treatment units such a...

Design, Simulation Of Solar Refrigator Of Adsorption Principle

ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to design and simulate Intermittent solar adsorption refrigeration machine. A solar heated charcoal / methanol of refrigeration machines as small unit of solar freezer on adsorption principle is used. The unit has a product capacity of about 5kg of ice daily. A flat-plate solar collector of (1𝑚2 ) area, and a water-cooled condenser of natural convection type is used. The evaporator was a flooded type evaporator, attached to the ice box to form a f...

Performance Analysis Of Passive Optical Network Using Wavelength Division Multiplexing

Abstract The demand was exceeded for speed to transmitting data, capacity and low cost that means there was a problem. The offers solution of limitation field in optical networks using Wavelength Division Multiplexing to increase the capacity and find the most cost-effective combination by designing four scenario unidirectional optical fiber(2,4, 6, and 8) users. In scenario four used Eridium Doped Fiber Amplifier to evaluate the system performance and study the effect of difference fiber le...

Design And Implementation Of Anti-Theft Vehicle Tracking System With Android App

Abstract The number of car theft increasing each year. If not recovered soon, stolen vehicles are generally sold, revamped or even burned if the resale price is considered to be too low. Once a vehicle is stolen, it becomes hard to locate it and track it, which considerably decreases the chances of recovering it. Nowadays, insurance companies suggest to their clients to equip their vehicles with a Global Positioning System (GPS) that can locate in real time their cars all over the country. I...

Design Of A Hybrid Artificial Hip Joint Using Finite Element Analysis

Abstract Rehabilitation is an important branch of biomedical engineering specializations that is exceedingly related to the healthcare delivery and its improvement, one of the most important topics of rehabilitation is prosthesis that is related to resolving the problems of the amputations and artificial joints. The later has been widespread recently due to the bone diseases and traumas. Subsidence, stress shielding, fatigue fracture, stiffness mismatching and expensive prices are the most c...

Adaptive Techniques For Cardiac Arrhythmia Detection By Using Artificial Neural Network

Abstract 95 ECG signals were collected from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database in Physionet bank in Physionet website. 25 of these samples are said to be abnormal and the rest 70 sample are normal sinus rhythm ECG. These samples were processed to remove baseline wonder and high frequency noise using Fast Fourier Transform and Discrete Wavelet Transform. The Matlab program was also developed to extract the main feature of the ECG signal during a set period of time. Starting with segmenting the signa...

Improvement U-Net For MRI Brain Tumour Segmentation By Searching For Suitable Activation Function

Abstract This study proposes the usage of enhanced activation function to improve the performance of deep learning models used in MRI brain tumour segmentation. Activation function has a significant role in deep network stability, learning rate and accuracy of the resultant solution. The main advantage of this new activation function is the ability to provide more accurate results solving the problem of vanishing gradient in comparison to the common activation functions “ReLU”. Vanishing...

“Factors Affecting Safety Performance On Construction Sites In Sudan”

ABSTRACT The construction industry is considered one of the most hazardous industries, not only in developing countries but also throughout the world due to its unique nature. This makes more attention to construction safety to improve the safety performance of construction companies. This research aims to identify the factors affecting the construction safety and to establish rules to assess and improve the construction safety of construction companies. The questionnaire design is composed ...

Microstructure And Durability Performance Of Concrete Containing Empty Palm Oil Fruit Bunch Ash As Partial Replacement Of Ordinary Portland Cement

ABSTRACT The production of concrete as a civil engineering material is highly dependent on the availability of its constituent materials. However, most of these materials are no more readily available. In order to solve this problem, many researches has been carried out on the use of agricultural waste as construction material, one of this material is Empty Palm Oil Fruit Bunch Ash (EPO - FBA). (EPO - FBA) is an agricultural waste material which is gotten after burning empty palm oil fru...

Classification And Strength Characteristics Of Soils Along Faculty Of Engineering Road Federal University Oye Ekiti, Ikole Campus

ABSTRACT This research project aims at classifying and determining the strength characteristics of soils along Faculty of Engineering road, Federal University Oye Ekiti, lkole campus. The road spans about 338m. The relevant soil tests include; particle size analysis, consistency limits (liquid, plastic, and shrinkage limits), natural moisture contents, specific gravity, compaction test, consolidation and shear strength tests.
