Images Processing

This paper introduces the segmentation of Neisseria bacterial meningitis images. Images segmentation is an operation of identifying the homogeneous location in a digital image. The basic idea behind segmentation called thresholding, which be classified as single thresholding and multiple thresholding. To perform images segmentation, transformations and morphological operations processes are used to segment the images, as well as image transformation an edge detecting, filling operation, design structure element, and arithmetic operations technique is used to implement images segmentation. The images segmentation represent significant step in extracting images features and diagnoses the disease by computer software applications.

AbstractUnderstanding what drives insect movement is crucial to understanding how they might be affected by environmental or human disturbances. Methods that measure movement can be expensive, and few are available that do not rely on some sort of video footage. We developed a relatively inexpensive method that allows the user to see the full path of the individual insects within an arena after a certain amount of time, which can be captured with a photograph and later analysed with computer software applications. In our proof-of-concept experiment, we found that the ground beetle, Harpalus rufipes (Coleoptera: Carabidae), was more active in darkness and in light than in ultraviolet light and that it displayed different movement patterns under all three light treatments.

Main Factors

By using CAD 3D modeling and structural statics of finite element analysis software ANSYS, the stress distribution of the insulating joint under different loads is obtained. The main factors are suggested, which influence the effects of the insulating joint, being base on the mechanical analysis of using computer software, and the ranges of concentrated stress are pointed out. These studies will help the insulating joint structure design, structure optimization and better applications.

Objective: Apoptosis is one method the body uses to get rid of unneeded or abnormal cells, but cancer cells have strategies to avoid apoptosis. Apoptosis inducers can get around these strategies to cause the death of cancer cells.Methods: We screened some derivatives aryl eugenol based on their interactions with Bcl-2 in many cancer tissues, using computer software applications (in silico method) to determine the best compounds. The docking experiment on Bcl-2 (Protein Data Bank ID 4LXD) was carried out by suitably positioning the energy-minimized ligand in the active site while carefully monitoring non-bonded interactions of the ligand enzyme.Results: The resulting ligand-receptor complex was docked using the Autodock Vina software. Docking results based free binding energy, EUGACl (21), EUASABr (17), EUGEABr (19), and EUASACL (17), has the lowest binding energy than navitoclax and binds significantly to BCL 2. In silico ADMET predictions revealed that except SA, ASA, and GEA, all other compounds had minimal toxic effects and had good absorption as well as solubility characteristics.Conclusion: These compounds of aryl eugenol (17, 19, and 21) may serve as a potential lead compound for developing new anticancer as apoptosis inducers.

The Impact

Computer software similarities play important roles in users’ skills transfer from one application to another. Despite common software attributes recognized in extant literature, a systematic understanding of the components and structure of software similarities has not been fully developed. To address the issue, a Delphi study was conducted to explore the underlying dimensions of software similarities. Inputs gathered from 20 experienced Information Systems instructors show that Computer Software Similarity is a multi-dimensional construct made up of interface similarity, function similarity, and syntax similarity. Each dimension consists of software attributes that users perceive to be transferable in learning new applications. A field study was carried out to test the impact of the construct. Results from a survey on students’ learning two software applications confirm the expectation that Computer Software Similarity facilitates the students’ skills transfer between the applications. These studies provide a basis to better design training programs for improved training performance.

Oil Spill Response

ABSTRACT Automated spill response management systems (ASRMSs) represent a significant step forward in oil spill response management. They combine a group of computer software tools that allow members of the spill management team to gather and share data and assimilate information more efficiently and effectively, automating information management within the framework of the response organizational structure. They also allow a broad range of electronic information to be depicted graphically in a geo-referenced mapping system so as to display a clear picture of the incident situation to the unified commanders and the public. However, efforts by the software development industry to introduce ASRMSs to the spill response community have been marked by defeat. The author, who has been involved in the development of several ASRMSs, sees this as a function of reluctance on the part of the oil industry and the oil spill response industry to accept new ways of managing a spill response. The author also views these failures as resulting from the temptation of software developers to build big, expensive ASRMSs that attempt to be all things to all people.
