According to WHO nearly 4 billion cases of diarrhoea and 2.2 million deaths in developing countries is because of E. coli. chlorination is an effective and scalable way of decontaminating and making water potable. The correct amount of chlorination is crucial; under-chlorination does not deactivate the E. coli completely and over-chlorination results in poor quality of water. Knowledge of the degree of contamination (measured in cfu) can be effectively used by local administration to decontaminate water by using exact amount of chlorine. Recently, Mobile Water Kit (MWK) has been proposed which can detect the presence of E. coli in water rapidly by manual inspection of pathogenic strains of E. coli. In this paper, we propose a robust and automatic method to quantify E. coli in water using image processing techniques. The choice of pre-processing techniques and identification of specific color based features makes the technique robust. Experimental results on 16 real images of water contaminated by E. coli taken by a mobile phone camera demonstrate the relevance of the features selected to identify the degree of contamination. The main contribution of this paper is the identification of an appropriate image color and structural features to estimate the degree of contamination.","PeriodicalId":174678,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"1181 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120878602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lack of a target behavior across schools, homes, and clinical settings not only impedes an individual learning on academic and self-help skills, but also disrupts their integration into school and society. To maintain the target behavior, the study successfully evaluated various reinforcement strategies. On the basis of a preliminary study conducted with a small group of children diagnosed with developmental disorders at an Autism intervention clinic in India concluded that video games can be used to strongly reinforce the expected behavior and reduce problematic behavior, successfully. Consequently, a survey carried out with various experts within India and abroad confirm that videogames designed on a tablet format are successfully used as strong reinforces during behavioral interventions. In view of these aspects, the present study proposes a multi-stage videogame design that is built with a user interface and smart algorithm allowing access and progression in the game based on a childs behavior data. The design establishes a contingency between reinforcer (videogame) and childs behavior thereby improving the acceptable target behavior.","PeriodicalId":174678,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127051903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They not only lowered the cost with reliable trace determinations but also are ecofriendly in nature. This paper reports utilization of bagasse (sugarcane waste) as a biomaterial used in the sensor for the detection of Pb and Cd toxic metals. The electrochemical technique was used for the performance study of the bagasse based carbon paste sensor. Surface characterization of modifier was carried using cyclic voltammetry, BET analysis, SEM and FTIR studies. The BET analysis reveals the pore distribution of bagasse falls in the mesoporous domain. The specific surface area are typically found as Sbet = 89.3 m2/g. In order to find the adsorption phenomenon of the characterized modifier and its interaction with the heavy metals, the bagasse modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated and studied by adsorptive stripping voltammetry technique. The fabricated electrode offered high sensitivity towards metals estimation and optimization of the electrochemical parameters were obtained with reference to amount of modifier, accumulating electrolyte, accumulation time, pH and supporting electrolyte. The effect of surfactants on the determination of the ions has been investigated with CTAB, SDS and Triton X-100. Analysis of Pb and Cd under optimized conditions with acetate buffer of pH 6 as accumulating solvent, hydrochloric acid as stripping electrolyte at a scan rate of 50mV/s resulted in stripping responses with good linearity. Linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration ranges of 100–600 μgL−1 and 500–1200 μgL−1, respectively, for lead and cadmium at an accumulated time of 10 min with limits of detection 10.1 and 170.64 μgL−1.","PeriodicalId":174678,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124276854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
