Digital Inventory of Fossils: Dinosaur Fossils National Park Bagh Dhar

Dinosaur Fossils National Park Bagh has huge fossils reserves of late cretaceous period that includes Dinosaurs bones, whole dinosaurs’ nests, dinosaurs’ eggs, tree fossils, shark teeth, ammonites, bivalves, inoceramids, and other marine organisms. With the help of local researchers and forest staff over the period oftime we had collected fossils of many species. Firstly, we inventoried the fossils physically and documented each by maintaining Stock Registers. Digitizing the Stock Registers – to convert each register in excel file which includes all the details regarding that fossil. To make it more attractive and useful in future, we have created 3dmodels of at least one specimen of each fossils’ species. To have worldwide reach, we have created and hosted the website www.dinosaurfossilsnationalparkbagh.in . I

Malaria Dashboard: a digital platform for epidemiological data from India (Preprint)

BACKGROUND A digital dashboard on malaria epidemiological data will be an invaluable resource for the research community and the planning of malaria control. OBJECTIVE To develop a digital Malaria Dashboard (MDB) for malaria epidemiological data METHODS We have developed a digital Malaria Dashboard (MDB) using the R software. A total of thirteen different R packages were used in this process, within which shiny and ggplot2 were used more intensively. The MDB is a web application that can work online as well as offline. Presently it is available in offline mode only. The MS Excel file may be used as an input data source and any personal computer may be used for this application. RESULTS The MDB is a highly versatile interface that allows prompt and interactive analysis of malaria epidemiological data. The primary interface of MDB is like a web page that has 14 tabs (or pages), some more tabs may be added or deleted as per requirement and each tab corresponds to a particular analysis. A user may move from one tab to another via tab icons. Each tab thus allows flexibility in correlating various parameters like SPR, API, AFI, ABER, RT, malaria cases, death due to malaria, BSC, and BSE. The data can be analyzed in required granularity (national, state, district), and its enhanced visualization allows for facile usage. Using the MDB, one can quickly assess national or more granular scenarios in a time series manner and then compare the malaria epidemiology in various states and their constituent districts. CONCLUSIONS This MDB is a highly effective digital tool for studying the malaria situation and strategizing for malaria elimination and researcher may use it as a prototype for developing some other dashboards in their own fields.

The Language Ecology of Graduate Students: An Exploration through Vocabulary Contribution

This study explores the language ecology of graduate students through vocabulary contribution. Understanding students’ learning ecology may be done through the identification of pertinent sociomaterial networks with which students engage to initiate or complement learning. This study was set in an academic writing module taught by the researcher. An open invitation was extended to his students to contribute any vocabulary they encountered outside of his classroom. Along with the vocabulary contribution, students also had to provide the excerpt where the word occurred and the source-type. Contributions were made on an online Excel file. There was a total of 277 contributions made, of which 259 were unique (229 words and 30 unique strings of words). Students’ contributions of strings of words were not anticipated. A majority of these contributions came from academic sources, such as research articles or book chapters, which may be a pertinent aspect of the graduate students’ language ecology. Through the findings, it is recommended that English for academic purposes (EAP) or English for specific purposes (ESP) instructors identify language ecologies found in the broader university setting to glean relevant pedagogical materials that can support students’ language development.

Industrial Pollution Monitoring using LABVIEW and Arduino

With the increase in the number of industries in the world today, it is important to keep the our environment healthy and no toxic for living creatures. This project concentrates on designing a pollution monitoring system for industries that would be detecting the toxic gases concentration in the atmosphere that is given out by chemical, paper, ammonia, etc producing industries. The system is designed to continuous monitor theconcentration of gases such as LPG, CO, Sulphur, chlorine etc. and warns if increasing level of toxic level of gases are detected. The values of the concentration of gases are logged into the excel file for future reference and perform analysis to understand the pattern of ejecting gases. This project uses Gas sensors and Arduino for detection and transmission of the data to Lab-VIEWsoftware for further process. Index Terms: Lab view, Gas sensors, monitoring, analysis,safety device

Dependencies in the development of poultry farming in some Balkan countries

Information concerning poultry farming (chickens, ducks, geese and guinea fowls) is the object of study in the current paper. It has been extracted from the website of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The obtained data about the four Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Albania) have been saved in a separate Excel file. Subsequently, they have been processed and evaluated. The surveyed period includes 58-year time interval from 1961 to 2018. The article presents the dependencies in the development of poultry farming in the listed countries for the indicated period. A comparative analysis and an analysis of variance have been applied to the considered data. The examined information has also been summarized and presented mainly in graphical form. The results of the analysis showed the relevant time intervals in which a continuous growth, as well as a significant decline of the studied indicators (number of chickens, number of ducks, number of geese and guinea fowls) was established for each of these four Balkan countries. The statistical assessment of the number of chickens in the examined countries formed three groups with statistically significant differences. Data for Albania were excluded from the evaluation of the other two indicators because the provided information about them was for the period from 1994 to 2011.

Pembangunan Aplikasi Pengelolaan Data pada Rumah Sakit Berbasis Web

Hospital has a variety of facilities and services. Every day there are transactions recorded by the hospital in the form of documentation such as excel. Over time, if the transactions increase, the files that will be stored will be more and more large. Therefore, a website was created that can make it easier to manage data from these files. The web application is created using PHP and integrates with the MySQL database. The main module of the web application created is to import data from an excel file. The expected results from making this website are to make it easier for employees to manage data and view information in the form of tables or graphs. Data collection methods using observation, through interviews with the person in charge from hospital by giving a questionnaire about the interface of the application. Assessment of the results of interface improvements using a questionnaire from Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire version three, totalling 16 questions. The purpose of the User Interface and User Experience analysis is to assess and serve as a guide for improving the display that has been made whether it is in accordance with the standards requested by the hospital.

Misreported Cancer Deaths in PLATO Trial

The potential link between antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants with excess cancer deaths (CD) was reported first for prasugrel (TRITON, DAPT), clopidogrel (DAPT), vorapaxar (TRACER), apixaban (APPRAISE-2), and later ticagrelor (PEGASUS). However, verified CD in the ticagrelor indication-seeking PLATO were not public. We obtained the complete list of deaths and their primary causes in PLATO, matched that dataset against local site records, and analyzed the patterns of CD reporting. The FDA-issued spreadsheet contains 31 precisely detailed CD (PLATO code 12-3). We obtained local site evidence for four CD and matched them with FDA-reported. We also assessed the patterns of how CD were reported among non-vascular death database column “S” by scrolling the FDA Excel file down among 938 PLATO entries. Clopidogrel CD (n = 17) were reported exclusively by sponsor, while independent CRO’s reported only ticagrelor CD (3 out of 14 PLATO total). Among four matched verified outcomes, one ticagrelor CD was correct, second ticagrelor CD was unreported, and two (ticagrelor and clopidogrel) CD were reported inaccurately. Of the remaining 16 clopidogrel CD six were reported as three separate next in line paired entries in Denmark (236–237), Poland (597–598), Romania (679–680), and as two more fatalities in South Africa (786) and Spain (789), while patients 787 and 788 received ticagrelor out of 938 records suggesting possible late addition of incorrect clopidogrel CD reports. We conclude that some CD were misreported in PLATO, favoring ticagrelor. Such mismatch may require reevaluation of this critical outcome in the trial focusing on the exact death cause reported by site investigators.

Building Data Warehouse and Dashboard of Church Congregation Data

A data warehouse is essential for an organization to process and analyze data coming from the organization. Hence, a data warehouse together with a dashboard to visualize the processed data are built to accommodate the need of the church administrator to analyze a large set of church congregation data. The data warehouse is built using the Kimball principle. This Kimball principle emphasizes the implementation of a dimensional model in the data warehouse, not a relational model used in a regular transactional database. An ETL process that contains extract, transform and load processes is used to retrieve all data from the regular transactional database and transform the data so the data can be loaded into the data warehouse. A dashboard is then built to visualize the data from the data warehouse so the users can view the processed data easily. Users can also export the processed data into an excel file that can be downloaded from the dashboard. A web service is built to get data from the data warehouse and return it to the dashboard.
