Method of the optical recognition of technical documentation and the transformation of graphic information into machine-readable form for cognitive analysis

The paper proposes the implementation of the method of optical recognition of technical documentation and the transformation of graphic information into a machine-readable form available for cognitive analysis, which is based on the methods of binarization and alignment of images, text segmentation and recognition. The use of the proposed method will provide a dramatic reduction in the costs of cataloging, checking the completeness and inventory of documentation, as well as an increase in design quality due to the semantic analysis of documentation using a knowledge base that is updated automatically. The article presents the development of the algorithm for optical recognition of a document, preparation of an image for optical recognition of a document, an example of the application of the Sauvola method for binarization of an image, and an analysis of the research results. The proposed implementation allows the text recognition on scanned/photographed documents.

Revticulate: An R framework for interaction with RevBayes

1: Phylogenetic methods are increasingly complex. Researchers need to make many choices about how to model different aspects of the data appropriately. It is increasingly common to deploy hierarchical Bayesian models in which different data types may be described by different processes. This necessitates tools to help users understand model assumptions more clearly.2: We describe the package \code{Revticulate}, which provides an R-based interface to the software RevBayes. RevBayes is a Bayesian phylogenetics program that implements an R-like computing language, but does not interface with R itself. Revticulate was designed to allow communication between an R session, and all of its associated capabilities, such as plotting and simulation, and a RevBayes session.3: Revticulate can be used to copy objects from RevBayes into R. We provide several usage examples demonstrating how objects, such as such as random variables drawn from probability distributions and phylogenetic trees, can be generated in RevBayes. We then show how these objects can be used with R's phylogenetic ecosystem to plot a phylogenetic tree, or with base R functions to simulate the behavior of a particular probability. 4: Revticulate is a broadly useful software. Revticulate can be used alongside popular document preparation packages, such as Knitr and pkgdown to generate attractive reports, tutorials, and websites. This means that researchers who are looking to communicate their work in RevBayes can do that very easily using Revticulate, enabling rapid generation of reproducible research outputs.

PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN FOR ACTIVE LEARNING SPACE AND CO-RESEARCH LABS: ROOFTOP EXTENSION IN AN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL

This research presents the architectural research-design process of learning spaces that utilized performance-based design techniques. It is the exploration of creating new learning and research environments on the rooftop of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning building. It consists of a co-research lab for faculty members, active-learning classrooms, and semi-outdoor community spaces. To achieve the design goals, the research process consists of surveys of functional requirements from the users, student participation in a design competition, building’s structure inspection, development of performance-based architectural design, and construction document preparation. The whole building energy and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were used to simulate microclimate maps and conditions that used to informed design-decision making. The final design proposes a new architectural expression in contrast to the monotony of horizontal elements of the existing building. A sustainable design approach as a response to the tropical climate of Thailand, as the human comfort, is generally achieved through HVAC system. The south-facing facade is equipped with vertical sunshades, some are automatically adjustable to optimize the daylight efficiency, corresponding to the daily sun’s movement. The solar panels are installed on the roofs to supply electricity and to reduce carbon emissions. Due to the site’s very strict regulatory issues and budget, the steel structural system and dry-wall construction are selected to reduce additional dead-loaded weight and limited construction time.

Blockchain technology as a panacea for procurement corruption in digital era

Corruption in public institutions is a significant problem that stifles economic, social and environmental development worldwide. This predominates when there is a lack of transparency, inadequate record-keeping, and low public accountability. Accordingly, the questions this paper intends to provide answers to are two-fold. Firstly, what are the recurring patterns of procurement corruption in the South Africa (SA) public sector? Secondly, how can digital technology deployment assist in checking this trend? The desktop method was adopted through literature examination of studies relating to corruption, procurement, blockchain and digitization. We conclude by proposing a model/framework for adopting and using blockchain technology in public institutions to minimise corruption and the time taken for contract document preparation and acceptance. This study contributed to knowledge by evaluating the issues associated with public procurement and how blockchain and digitization can be adopted to help stern the tide of corruption in public institutions.

Medical Writing: Write your Way to Six-Figures and Beyond

Medical writing is a broad term for a vast 3-billion-dollar industry. The industry is large enough to accommodate all types of medical writers and health care communicators who can contribute in various ways. For example, some medical writers assist with medical education, such as continuing medical education (CME), slide-decks, textbooks, needs assessments, and patient education. Other medical writers may work in medical journalism, research documents, medical marketing, regulatory document preparation, or scientific publication and presentations. This article discusses ways for pharmacists to enter this field and is an extension of the ASCP provided webinar, which can be accessed here.

Implementasi Sistem Informasi Bongkar Muat KIP INNI Pada PT. Gusti Glori Sukses Pangkalpinang

In managing the administrative data of loading and unloading production suction vessels at PT. Gusti Glori Sukses still uses manual administrative data management. All recapitulation of company administrative documents is still archived on sheets of paper, document preparation is still manual, which is considered less effective and efficient. Because data collection is still inaccurate, the effect on report presentation and administrative data processing tends to be slow. So that PT. Gusti Glori Sukses wants to have an information system for managing the loading and unloading administrative data of production suction vessels that is accessed internally which makes it easier for the company to run the company's operations smoothly. An information system that is made must be effective and in accordance with needs. The research method used in the development of this information system uses object-oriented design and analysis methods, with the FAST model, and the tools used are the Unified Modeling Language (UML). With the implementation of the information system for loading and unloading production suction vessels at PT. Gusti Glori Sukses based on computerization, all problems faced can be resolved, so that the administration of loading and unloading production suction boats can run optimally so that it becomes more effective and efficient.

Archives and the Labor of Building Feminist Theory: An Interview with Sharon Davenport

This article traces the labor of archiving the papers of the Third World Women’s Alliance (TWWA)--a multiracial women’s organization that grew out of the Civil Rights/Black Power movements and maintained active chapters in NYC and the Bay Area during the 1970s. By focusing on the labor of archiving, I take a lead from the methodologies of social-movement scholars in rhetoric and writing who orient to the behind-the-scenes labor of organizing, and the everyday textual labor of building movements and preserving movement histories (Leon; Monberg). My embodied experiences as a cross-disciplinary teacher/scholar of rhetoric and composition and women’s and gender studies, and organizer who prioritizes behind-the-scenes, feminized labor like internal document preparation and childcare—orient me to the labor that scaffolds more public-facing work like publishing theory and speaking publicly. Drawing on an interview with Sharon Davenport, who processed the TWWA’s archives, this article situates archiving as indispensable, feminized, and often-invisible labor that builds the context for feminist writing, theorizing, and teaching in institutions of higher education.

An Critical Analysis of Speech Recognition of Tamil and Malay Language Through Artificial Neural Network

Human and Computer interaction has been a part of our day-to-day life. Speech is one of the essential and comfortable ways of interacting through devices as well as a human being. The device, particularly smartphones have multiple sensors in camera and microphone, etc. speech recognition is the process of converting the acoustic signal to a smartphone as a set of words. The efficient performance of the speech recognition system highly enhances the interaction between humans and machines by making the latter more receptive to user needs. The recognized words can be applied for many applications such as Commands & Control, Data entry, and Document preparation. This research paper highlights speech recognition through ANN (Artificial Neural Network). Also, a hybrid model is proposed for audio-visual speech recognition of the Tamil and Malay language through SOM (Self-organizing map0 and MLP (Multilayer Perceptron). The Effectiveness of the different models of NN (Neural Network) utilized in speech recognition will be examined.
