Android of Things Based Dual Mode Trolley with Estimation

In the world of today, every supermarkets are employ with shopping trolleys and shopping baskets in order to aid customers to select and store the products which they are purchase. The customers have to drop every product which they purchase into the shopping cart and then proceed to checkout at the billing section. The billing process is quite slow and highly time consuming and has need long queue in the billing counter, and the waiting time considerably high. The concept fit to propose the “Intelligent Shopping trolley” which aims to reduce and possibly eliminate the total waiting time of customers, lower the total manpower requirement and expenses for markets and increase efficiently overall. This system have a two method. They are Automatic mode and Manual mode. In automatic mode the trolley is guide the customer to whole super market. In manual mode the trolley is followed by the customer.

Recovery of phosphorus from stored urine using continuous flow reactor in decentralised level operations

Past studies have shown that phosphate recovery in the form of struvite is relatively a simple process, which can be achieved by adding a magnesium source in stored urine. However, struvite recovery process at a decentralised level becomes uneconomical due to high input cost of magnesium salts and operational cost. While use of cheaper alternative magnesium sources such as bittern, low-grade MgO and wood ash could lead to partial cost reduction, it is also important to reduce the overall operational costs to make struvite recovery process economically viable and sustainable. In this study, a continuous flow reactor was developed for low-cost struvite recovery from stored urine at decentralised community scale operations. Our study revealed that over 81.2% of phosphate present in urine can be recovered in the form of struvite. Comparison of results from stirred and unstirred experiments shows that higher recovery efficiency is obtained due to minimal loss of fines. Operation and financial assessment of the process shows that struvite recovery can be profitable due to continuous operation of the reactor requiring minimal process control and manpower requirement.

A Smart Stretcher and Integrated Medical Intelligence System Model for Unconscious Person

The integration of health information technology into primary care includes a variety of electronic methods. This can improve the quality of care which makes the process quicker. The purpose of this project is to highlight the main features of an intelligent stretcher and a system of monitoring crucial signs of unconscious person. Arduino is the selected device for information processing which collectively obtains the heart rate and respiratory rate of the patient, updating directly to the intensive care unit via IoT. This further updates the biometric details to the police station informing about the accident. This system is developed by using affordable technology and merging different function to offer an expedient solution. Additionally, the stretcher is provided with automatic moving mechanism under the guidance of one person which reduces manpower requirement.

Possible dangers of automation failures on board and measures to avoid the negative effects of these failures

The first priority of the IMO (International Maritime Organization) is to ensure safety at sea. The ships are the critical elements of the shipping. The ships are the largest vehicles of the world and equipped with state of art management systems which are mostly furnished with highly automated systems. Any automated system failure may cause fatal accidents which hamper the human life, ship and environment as well as ports and terminals. Automated systems facilitate management of the ships and reduce manpower requirement. Unfortunately the seafarers assume these high technology products are very reliable and mostly neglects any possible failure on these systems. If we investigate seafarer’s education and training systems, curricula do not cover sufficient knowledge on operation principles and limitations of automated systems. This insufficiency negatively affects their counter actions in case of an automation failure which endangers safety of sea. The application of automation systems on board speedily pervades following the rapid technologic developments on merchant ships as well as on naval ships. That means automation failure will become rather important in the future. This study investigates possible reasons for automation failures and proposals to prevent it and reduce the negative effects of such incidents. Finally, it is intended to define measures covering automation failure versus human element on board.

Internship and Self Efficacy: A Literature Review On Career Intentions Of Undergraduate Hospitality Students

There has been a gap between the manpower requirement and the supply of the same from the hospitality institutions and it is forecasted to become wider. This paper is an attempt to understand the reasons that affect the career choice and intention of Indian undergraduate hospitality students with regard to internship experiences and self efficacy. The main objective of this paper is to identify the variables and find the effect of the variables on the career intentions of the students. It will also examine the mediating effect of the variables on each other and with regard to their career intention through systemic review.

Prevalence of Delirium and Its Clinical Outcome in Adult Filipino Patients Admitted in The Intensive Care Unit

Delirium is common in the ICU setting and is associated with increased morbidity, manpower requirement, and costs. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of delirium and its outcome in terms of 14-days mortality and length of ICU stay in ICU patients. The study was done at a 150-bed tertiary teaching hospital, located in Quezon City, Metro Manila, February to September 2016. This is a prospective studyinvolving 136 adults. Screening for delirium was done within 24 hours of ICU admission using both CAM-ICU scoring method and DSM-IV-TR criteria for delirium. Delirium prevalence was found to be 5.15%. The average age was higher in the subjects positive for delirium (70.14 + 21.15 years versus 60.43 + 16.10 years, p=0.1286). At the time of ICU admission, 11.54% of sedated patients were positive for delirium compared to 3.64% of non-sedated patients, p=0.1513 ;OR 3.457. Delirium was associated with higher 14 days mortality (OR 16.8, p=0.0212). Subjects positive for delirium had 2.74 longer days average ICU stay compared to the other group, with p=0.026. We concluded delirium was associated with higher 14-days mortality and longer ICU stay. Keywords : delirium, prevalence, Intensive Care Unit

ChatBot for College Website

In any service-providing organization, it is necessary to answer current or future customer’s questions for their information and for maintaining good relationship with the customers. These organizations usually have call centers with hundreds and thousands of employees to give replies to customers through chat (i.e. text) or phone calls. These kind of traditional systems need large number of employees which eventually increases the overall expenditure and manpower requirement of that organization. This paper is aimed at minimizing the manpower requirement i.e. decreasing the number of employees by implementing a chat service. This concept of chatbot has been proposed for implementation in College Website that will automatically reply to the queries of stakeholders like students, parents, etc. without any human interaction. For implementation of chatbot sequence to sequence model is used which is a deep neural network
