In this work, we proposed a novel optimized grid search-based multi-layer perceptron method to effectively detect heart disease patients earlier and accurately. We evaluated the performance of our method on a dataset named Public Health dataset for heart diseases. More specifically, our method obtained an accuracy of 95.12%, precision of 95.32%, recall of 95.32%, and F1-score of 95.32%. We made a comparison of our method with existing methods to check superiority and robustness of our system to detect heart disease patients. Experimental results along with comprehensive comparison with other methods illustrate that our technique has superior performance and is robust to detect heart disease patients. From the results, we can conclude that our method is reliable to be used in hospitals for the early detection of heart disease patients.","PeriodicalId":243222,"journal":{"name":"Vol 4 Issue 1","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122378298","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}

COVID-19 has affected the patients as well as staff of radiotherapy department leaving a severe negative impact on the financial resources of INOR cancer hospital, Abbottabad. Multiple preventive measures have been taken to reduce the probability of spreading the coronavirus while pursuing the timely treatment of radiotherapy patients without compromising their oncological outcomes. In this context, a triage center was established to filter out the Covid suspected/confirmed patients to reduce the risk of infection to other patients and staff. Social distancing was ensured by making amendments in patient gathering areas. Also extensive ventilation and disinfection procedures were adopted to clean the surfaces. Following these measures, patient flux did not show any considerable decrease in second, third and fourth wave as compared to first wave when patient flux reduced to about less than 25 %. Preventive measures were also taken for the employees by ensuring them to wear personal protective equipment during office hours. To further reduce the probability of contact, telemedicine was adopted for patients where possible. All employees were made to be fully vaccinated by July 2021 resulting in 100 % reduction in new cases among INOR employees in the following fourth COVID wave. Owing to these stringent measures taken to fight against coronavirus, ratio of contracting the coronavirus among the employees and patients of INOR has been found <10% overall in this pandemic, While no mortality has been reported so far.","PeriodicalId":243222,"journal":{"name":"Vol 4 Issue 1","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128445370","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 main objective of this study is to assess the spatiotemporal variability in surface albedo of the Karakoram glaciers in Pakistan during the summer seasons (June, July and August) for the period from 2000-2018. We used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data to estimate the amount of glacier surface albedo. We combined the MODIS Terra- and Aqua-derived albedo products to reduce the amount of cloud influence and to improve the estimation of glacier surface albedo. Our results indicate that the average annual decrease in albedo is ~0.041% during the summer. The decrease in albedo was relatively high during recent years, with an annual rate of decrease of ~0.45%. The decreasing trend in albedo is towards the north-western part of the Karakoram mountain range. Climate change is the potential cause of albedo variations in the study area. Albedo has a strong negative correlation with temperature (r = -0.811) and a strong positive correlation with precipitation (r = 0.809). The present study concludes that trend in decreasing albedo is higher during the recent years than the last decade and climate change is playing a vital role in it.","PeriodicalId":243222,"journal":{"name":"Vol 4 Issue 1","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130953912","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}

Images were pre-processed by using the Arc GIS and ERDAS Imagine 15 software for stacking of the layers, sub-setting, and mosaicking of the satellite bands. After the pre-processing of the images, supervised image classification scheme was applied by employing a maximum likelihood algorithm to recognize the land-use changes which have been observed in the area under study.

Built-up land was 16.6 km2 in 2010 that increased to 19.4 km2 in 2015 and 26.8 km2 in 2020. The total area under vegetation was computed as 513.2 km2 in 2010 that increased to 601.6km2 in 2015 and further increased to 717.7 km2in 2020. Forest land use showed decreasing trend as the covered area in 2010 was occupied 90.8 km2 that decreased to 86.7 km2 in 2015 and further decreased to 61.84 km2 in 2020. In 2010, barren land use was occupied 528.54 km2 that considerably decreased to 429.64 km2 in 2015 further decreased to 333.1 km2 in 2020.

Immediate response and medical assistance are necessary in case of accidental fall incidents to elderly people.

However, the authentication of these systems became an open challenge because fingerprints can easily be fabricated. In this paper, a hybrid feature extraction approach named Integration of Probability Weighted Spatial Gradient with Ridge Orientation (IPWSGRo) has been proposed for fingerprint liveness detection. IPWSGRo integrates intensity variation and local ridge orientation information. Intensity variation is computed by using probability-weighted moments (PWM) and second order directional derivative filter. Moreover, the ridge orientation is estimated using rotation invariant Local Phase Quantization (LPQri) by retaining only the significant frequency components. These two feature vectors are quantized into predefined intervals to plot a 2-D histogram. The support vector machine classifier (SVM) is then used to determine the validity of fingerprints as either live or spoof. Results are obtained by applying the proposed technique on three standard databases of LivDet competition 2011, 2013, and 2015.
