Skin Tumors

The vast majority of skin cancer deaths are from melanoma, with about 1.04 million cases annually. Early detection of the same can be immensely helpful in order to try to cure it. But most of the diagnosis procedures are either extremely expensive or not available to a vast majority, as these centers are concentrated in urban regions only. Thus, there is a need for an application that can perform a quick, efficient, and low-cost diagnosis. Our solution proposes to build a server less mobile application on the AWS cloud that takes the images of potential skin tumors and classifies it as either Malignant or Benign. The classification would be carried out using a trained Convolution Neural Network model and Transfer learning (Inception v3). Several experiments will be performed based on Morphology and Color of the tumor to identify ideal parameters.

Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) provides a solution of the converged access network for wired and wireless network. PON and WiMAX are the typical representatives in fiber access network and broadband wireless access network, of which the convergence has great research value. The converged network of PON and WiMAX has the advantage of high-bandwidth, which can provide various kinds of broadband access services and has features of low cost and simple and flexible. There are a variety of system forms for PON technology, one of them with unique advantages is WDM-PON system. In WDM-PON systems, each service has exclusive transmission bandwidth, which makes the converged network of WDM-PON and WiMAX has much more advantages than any other PON network. This paper proposes a converged network model of WDM-PON and WiMAX, and focuses on the analysis of dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm applicable to the converged network model; then does some simulation of this dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm, proves that the algorithm has a good delay effect in overload conditions, and analyses the bandwidth rate taken by traffic flow of different service levels under different network load situations.

Dislocation Defects

Solar cells based on mono-like cast silicon (MLC-Si) have been attracting increasing attention in the photovoltaic (PV) market due to their high energy conversion efficiency and low cost. As in the production of monocrystalline silicon (MC-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (PC-Si) cells, various defects will inevitably occur during the production process of MLC-Si cells. Although computer vision technology has been employed for defect detection in the production processes, it is still difficult to achieve high accuracy in detecting defects in PV cells using traditional machine vision methods due to defect similarity and complex background. To address this challenge, a deep-learning-based quality assessment algorithm of MLC-Si wafers is proposed. Focusing on the dislocation defects, four different deep learning models are used to conduct migration learning and selected different optimizers (ADAM and SGDM) are used to optimize the network models, achieving good results in evaluating and comparing the quality of ML-Si wafers. On this basis, an improved network model MVGG-19 based on the VGG-19 is designed to improve the prediction accuracy further. The experimental results show that the prediction error of the improved network model is reduced by 63% (compared with VGG-19) and the reasoning speed reaches 10.22 FPS, indicating good detection performance.

In this paper, we explore the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown in Serbia on the air pollution levels of CO, NO2 and PM10 alongside the possibility for low-cost sensor usage during this period. In the study, a device with low-cost sensors collocated with a reference public monitoring station in the city of Belgrade is used for the same period of 52 days in 2019 (pre-COVID-19 period), 2020 (COVID-19 lockdown) and 2021 (post-COVID-19 period). Low-cost sensors’ measurements are improved by using a convolutional neural network that applies corrections of the influence of temperature and relative humidity on the low-cost sensors. As a result of this study we have noticed a remarkable decrease in NO2 (primarily related to traffic density), while on the other hand CO and PM10, related to domestic heating sources and heating plants, showed constant or slightly higher levels. The obtained results are in accordance with other published work in this area. The low-cost sensors have shown a satisfactory correlation with the reference CO measurements during the lockdown, while the NO2 and PM10 measurements of 2020 were corrected using a convolutional neural network trained on meteorological and pollutant data from 2019. The results include an improvement of 0.35 for the R2 of NO2 and an improvement of 0.13 for the R2 of PM10, proving that our neural network model trained on data from 2019 can improve the performance of the sensor in the lockdown period in 2020. This means that our neural network model is very robust, as it exhibits good performance even in the case where training data from the prior year (2019) are used in the following year (2020) in very different environment circumstances—a lockdown.

Metastable beta titanium alloys have been known to have numerous advantages such as cold formability, high strength, good fracture resistance, deep hardenability, and cost effectiveness. Very high strength is obtainable by precipitation of the hexagonal alpha phase in a bcc beta matrix in these alloys. Precipitation hardening in the metastable beta alloys may also result from the formation of transition phases such as omega phase. Ti-15-3 (Ti-15V- 3Cr-3Al-3Sn) has been developed recently by TIMET and USAF for low cost sheet metal applications. The purpose of the present study was to examine the aging characteristics in this alloy.The composition of the as-received material is: 14.7 V, 3.14 Cr, 3.05 Al, 2.26 Sn, and 0.145 Fe. The beta transus temperature as determined by optical metallographic method was about 770°C. Specimen coupons were prepared from a mill-annealed 1.2 mm thick sheet, and solution treated at 827°C for 2 hr in argon, then water quenched. Aging was also done in argon at temperatures ranging from 316 to 616°C for various times.

Polyethylene is one of the most important plastics produced today because of its good physical properties, ease of fabrication and low cost. Studies to improve the properties of polyethylene are leading to an understanding of its crystalline morphology. Polyethylene crystallized by evaporation from dilute solutions consists of thin crystals called lamellae. The polyethylene molecules are parallel to the thickness of the lamellae and are folded since the thickness of the lamellae is much less than the molecular length. This lamellar texture persists in less perfect form in polyethylene crystallized from the melt.Morphological studies of melt crystallized polyethylene have been limited due to the difficulty of isolating the microstructure from the bulk specimen without destroying or deforming it.

In ultramicrotomy, the two basic tool materials are glass and diamond. Glass because of its low cost and ease of manufacture of the knife itself is still widely used despite the superiority of diamond knives in many applications. Both kinds of knives produce plastic deformation in the microtomed section due to the nature of the cutting process and microscopic chips in the edge of the knife. Because glass has no well defined slip planes in its structure (it's an amorphous material), it is very strong and essentially never fails in compression. However, surface flaws produce stress concentrations which reduce the strength of glass to 10,000 to 20,000 psi from its theoretical or flaw free values of 1 to 2 million psi. While the microchips in the edge of the glass or diamond knife are generally too small to be observed in the SEM, the second common type of defect can be identified. This is the striations (also termed the check marks or feathers) which are always present over the entire edge of a glass knife regardless of whether or not they are visable under optical inspection. These steps in the cutting edge can be observed in the SEM by proper preparation of carefully broken knives and orientation of the knife, with respect to the scanning beam.

Many labs today wish to transfer data between their EDS systems and their existing PCs and minicomputers. Our lab has implemented SpectraPlot, a low- cost PC-based system to allow offline examination and plotting of spectra. We adopted this system in order to make more efficient use of our microscopes and EDS consoles, to provide hardcopy output for an older EDS system, and to allow students to access their data after leaving the university.As shown in Fig. 1, we have three EDS systems (one of which is located in another building) which can store data on 8 inch RT-11 floppy disks. We transfer data from these systems to a DEC MINC computer using “SneakerNet”, which consists of putting on a pair of sneakers and running down the hall. We then use the Hermit file transfer program to download the data files with error checking from the MINC to the PC.
