The document proposes a phase-based binarization model and postprocessing method for ancient document images. The model uses three phase-derived feature maps: maximum moment of phase congruency covariance, locally weighted mean phase angle, and phase preserved denoised image. The model consists of preprocessing, main binarization using the phase features, and postprocessing using adaptive filters. It also introduces a tool called PhaseGT to simplify generating ground truth data for evaluating ancient document image binarization methods. Experimental results on several datasets demonstrate the model's effectiveness on various degraded document types.

Improvement of binarization performance using local otsu thresholdingIJECEIAES
Ancient document usually contains multiple noises such as uneven-background, show-through, water-spilling, spots, and blur text. The noise will affect the binarization process. Binarization is an extremely important process in image processing, especially for character recognition. This paper presents an improvement to Nina binarization technique. Improvements were achieved by reducing processing steps and replacing median filtering by Wiener filtering. First, the document background was approximated by using Wiener filter, and then image subtraction was applied. Furthermore, the manuscript contrast was adjusted by mapping intensity of image value using intensity transformation method. Next, the local Otsu thresholding was applied. For removing spotting noise, we applied labeled connected component. The proposed method had been testing on H-DIBCO 2014 and degraded Jawi handwritten ancient documents. It performed better regarding recall and precision values, as compared to Otsu, Niblack, Sauvola, Lu, Su, and Nina, especially in the documents with show-through, water-spilling and combination noises.

Modified Approach of Hough Transform for Skew Detection and Correction in Doc...IJORCS
In optical character recognition and document image analysis skew is introduced in coming documented image. Which degrade the performance of OCR and image analysis system so to detection and correction of skew angle is important step of preprocessing of document analysis. Many methods have been proposed by researchers for the detection of skew in binary image documents. The majority of them are based on Projection profile, Fourier transform, and cross-correlation, Hough transform, Nearest Neighbor connectivity, linear regression analysis and mathematical morphology. Main advantage of Hough transform is its accuracy and simplicity. But due to slow speed many researchers work on its speed complexity without compromising the accuracy. So, for improving computational efficiency of Hough transform there are various variations have been proposed by researchers to reduce the computational time for skew angle. In this Paper we introduced new method which reduces the time complexity without compromising the accuracy of Hough transform.
Workflows, provenance and reporting: a lifecycle perspective at BIH 2013, RomeCarole Goble
Workflow systems support the design, configuration and execution of repetitive, multi-step pipelines and analytics, well established in many disciplines, notably biology and chemistry, but less so in biodiversity and ecology. From an experimental perspective workflows are a means to handle the work of accessing an ecosystem of software and platforms, manage data and security, and handle errors. From a reporting perspective they are a means to accurately document methodology for reproducibility, comparison, exchange and reuse, and to trace the provenance of results for review, credit, workflow interoperability and impact analysis. Workflows operate in an evolving ecosystem and are assemblages of components in that ecosystem; their provenance trails are snapshots of intermediate and final results. Taking a lifecycle perspective, what are the challenges in workflow design and use with different stakeholders? What needs to be tackled in evolution, resilience, and preservation? And what are the “mitigate or adapt” strategies adopted by workflow systems in the face of changes in the ecosystem/environment, for example when tools are depreciated or datasets become inaccessible in the face of funding shortfalls?

Simplifying Database Normalization within a Visual Interactive Simulation Modelijdms
Although many researchers focused on investigating the challenges of database normalization, and suggested recommendations on easing these challenges, this process remained an area of concern to database designers, developers, and learners. This paper investigated these challenges and involved Higher Education in Computer Science students learning database normalization, as they could well
represent beginning database designers/developers, who would struggle in effectively normalize their database design due to the complexity of this theoretical process, which has no similar real-life representation. The paper focused on the advantages of interactive visualization techniques to simplify database normalization, and recommended virtual world technologies, such as ‘Second Life’, as an effective platform to achieve this visualization via a simulated model of a relational database system. The simulation technique presented in this paper is novel, and is supported by extensive evidence on its
advantages to achieve an illustration of the ‘Normal Forms’ and the need for them.
Ancient historical inscriptions collected from various sources are image captured and stored as document images in digital libraries. Due to various factors, such as aging, degradation, erosion and deposition of foreign bodies on the inscriptions the quality of images captured is poor. These images are not ready for further processing such as reading, translation and indexing. Image Enhancement is an important phase for such document images before extracting information. A novel hybrid enhancement process has been proposed in this paper to highlight the text in the inscription, to make it more suitable for recognition using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system. The proposed method is a combination of Frankle McCann Retinex approach and Morphological operations which highlight the image contours by suppressing the background deformation and noise. The method is tested on a dataset of 300 camera captured estampage images of stone inscriptions written in ancient Kannada script. Experimental results show the efficacy of the proposed method.
Diagnostic hypothesis refinement in reproducible workflows for advanced medic...Cezary Mazurek
(1) In-Silico experiments, especially in their refinement cycle, lead to creation of new software tools, algorithms and even computer science challenges. To make this experiment valuable such a process need to be controlled and recorded while achieving milestone stages;
(2) Scientific experiments are performed in cycles, when each cycle is a refinement of hypotheses. Continuing research starting from any cycle and branching this process further on, require that each cycle is checkpointed and stored as a scientific procedure step;
(3) Medical research reliant on data analysis, focused on early disease diagnosis or stopping the disease progress, very often results in providing software tools helping in data analysis and created during the experimentation cycles. To treat the process of knowledge discovery based on data analysis and development of processing tools, as a research method, we need to provide the way of formal description of stages of such a process, be paired with hypothesis refinement stages.
Design for Additively Manufactured Structure An Assessmentijtsrd
"The design of lightweight structures realized via additive manufacturing has been drawing considerable amount of attentions in academia and industries for a wide range of applications. However, various challenges remain for AM lightweight structures to be reliably used for these applications. For example, despite extensive advancement with geometric design, there still lacks adequate understanding with the process material property relationship of AM lightweight structures. In addition, a more integrated design approach must also be adopted in order to take non uniform material design into consideration. In our works, a design approach based on unit cell cellular structure was taken in the attempt to establish a comprehensive design methodology for lightweight structures. Analytical cellular models were established to provide computationally efficient property estimation, and various design factors such as size effect, stress concentration and joint angle effect were also investigated in order to provide additional design guidelines. In addition, it was also found that the geometry and microstructure of the cellular structures are dependent on both the process setup and the feature dimensions, which strongly support the argument to establish a multi scale hierarchical cellular design tool.

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.

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.

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.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
