Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Who are you?
Patrick Hannah, CloudHesive (where I’m a co-founder and the VP of Engineering)
What’s your background?
Architecture, Security and Operations on AWS for 5 years, prior to that Contact Center Architecture and Operations for over 8 years (SaaS but we didn’t call it that). I’ve drawn on experience in both spaces in this presentation.
What do you hope to get out of the presentation?
I want to help folks get as the same out of AWS as I have.
I’d also like to see how others are using AWS – as with just about any thing in technology there are multiple ways to do something right (or wrong).
How are you using cloud services?
At CloudHesive, we provide consulting services to customers who wish to, or who are, leveraging AWS and we also use a number of AWS services to host our managed services customers (and the back-office systems supporting them).
Why did you pick the cloud services that you are using?
AWS is at the forefront of Cloud; their service catalog can support most traditional on-premise software use cases (infrastructure) but they also offer more abstracted services for software built on the cloud (such as SQS, which is one of my favorite) that negate the need to manage server infrastructure – on premise or on cloud.
What about you?
This is not a complete list and I’ve categorized certain services to suit my needs.
A key point to note is when I refer to infrastructure I refer to building blocks and when I refer to abstracted I refer to a managed service to solve a specific requirement (like SES, SQS, etc.)
How to do it
With ClassicLink you can enable communication between EC2-Classic and VPC using Private IP Addresses – great for a staggered migration
You’ll need to either relaunch your instances or migrate them to VPC (by way of AMI)
If you have services using Elastic IP Addresses that you cannot update you can move EC2-Classic EIPs to VPC (one way only)
How to do it
If it’s EBS backed you just need to stop/start the instance
If it’s not EBS backed – see the following slide
How to do it
You can move between each tier with EBS Snapshots
Create a Snapshot ahead of time and again at cutover to save time
How to do it
Most of these migrations will involve launching from a new AMI and copying data/customizing accordingly
Older AWS deployments may be leveraging their own solutions, running on EC2 to handle a number of services that are now offered as managed or abstracted services
Three options available, each geared towards a different audience
Multiple solutions to handle recovery of single instance and up
Each service has it’s own site and set of documentation
The SlideShare presentations can be an invaluable resource when it comes to diving into the details
The GitHub repositories have excellent examples of applications you can build on AWS
CloudHesive sponsors 5 Meetups in Florida; 4 in the South Florida-Tri-County Area and one in North Florida
We are always looking for ideas on topics, as well as attendees and speakers (especially Jacksonville)
