A STUDY ON EVALUATION OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Get PDFSince the last two decades, quality management systems (QMS) have provided generic guidance and requirements for establishing an appropriate quality management procedure, with the goal of lowering costs, increasing productivity, increasing customer satisfaction, and increasing market share in the organisations involved. Construction industry: It may aid organisations in achieving their objectives and ensuring that all phases of a construction project consistently fulfil the needs of the client are two of the benefits of using a construction management system (need). Total quality management (TQM) is widely used in manufacturing and other industries, and it has been shown to significantly enhance the quality of products and services in these fields. The involvement of stakeholders is the primary focus of Total Quality Management. It increases customer happiness, increases the efficiency of an organisation, and promotes superior management of employees within the organisation. This enlightenment comes from the adaptation of new ideas, technologies, and procedures that can be applied in the building business as well. The purpose of this research is to examine the most recent studies that have focused on improving quality through the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in the construction industry, as well as the suitable uses of TQM in the various phases of building projects. The building industry is a significant source of revenue for emerging countries like India. The construction industry in India is second only to the agricultural sector in terms of employment. The construction industry is confronted with numerous management and quality issues. This standard, which is part of the ISO 9000 standard series, contains a collection of instructions on how to build up a quality management system for processes that have an impact on their products or services. The most significant benefit of system deployment is improved management and work efficiency for the company, whereas the most significant drawback is a lack of awareness of the system among the personnel. For these implementation obstacles to be overcome, it is necessary to increase preparation and auditing (both internal and external)
An Elliptic Curve Cryptography based Algebraic Structures for Security Provisioning using Algebraic Cryptography
Get PDFIn this day and age of pervasive computing, it is more important than ever to take measures to secure sensitive information. This is an especially important topic given that data is kept and sent in diverse places all over the world. The protection of information that has been stored relies heavily on the use of a number of different encryption methods, many of which may be traced back to algebraic cryptography. Using elliptic curve cryptography, we presented in this paper a way for producing algebraic codes over F q that are more resistant to cryptanalysis. The system's information rate as well as its level of security are both of the highest possible quality. It is easy to utilize this plan to construct a new scheme based on the existing one without recovering the secret. By doing so, it is possible to increase or decrease the number of shareholders, as well as widen the set of shares that may be used to retrieve the secrets
A Comparison of the Clinical Performance Between the Lateral Sinus Lifts and Percrestal Sinus Lifts in Severely Atrophied Posterior Maxilla
No full textAim/Objective: The objective of our study is to compare the clinical performance between the lateral sinus lift and the percrestal sinus lift techniques in severely atrophied posterior maxilla.Materials and Methods: An electronic search was done by three independent reviewers using a computerized search involving multiple databases focusing on comparative articles discussing the differences between lateral sinus lift technique and percrestal sinus lift technique. The search involved a solid application of the authors’ inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The combined search done by the authors identified 19 eligible articles. 13 of which were excluded strictly based on the inclusion and the exclusion criteria leaving us with 6 accepted articles to conduct this systemic review. 3 of the articles are clinical trials, 2 are retrospective studies and 1 is a prospective study. In all of the 6 selected articles, a comparative discussion between the lateral sinus lift technique and percrestal sinus lift technique was done. Conclusions: The lateral sinus lift technique has higher morbidity and success rates when compared to the percrestal sinus lift technique. However, that does not eliminate the fact that the latter is still a viable choice if a less invasive is necessary or if the alveolar height at baseline is not as diminished. 
An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System-Based Lung Cancer Detection System
Get PDFIn the last forty years, there have been dramatic growths in the area of medical and healthcare systems. During this period, the true causes of several illnesses were uncovered, fresh diagnostic techniques were created, and new medications were created. Despite these advances, illnesses like cancer continue to plague us because people remain susceptible to the system. Cancer is the second-biggest reason of mortality worldwide, accounting for around one in every six deaths. Therefore, early illness detection considerably increases the likelihood of survival. Among all cancers, lung cancer has the highest risk. Using the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), tumour diagnosis may be automated to analysis larger capacity in lesser time and at a lesser cost. A Machine Learning based Lung Cancer Detection System (ML-LCDS) is suggested in this research. The automated identification and localization of tumour locations in lung imaging are increasingly crucial for saving patients' lives via prompt medical therapy. In this study, a lung tumour detection, categorization, and segmentation method based on machine learning are suggested. The tumour categorization stage first applies an adaptive median filtration to the original lung computerised tomography picture and then applies Discrete-Timing Complicated Wavelet Transformation (DT-CWT) to divide the whole picture into several sub-bands. In addition to the deconstructed sub-bands, Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT), and co-occurrence characteristics are calculated and identified using an ANFIS. The tumour segmentation stage detects tumour locations on this identified abnormal lung image using morphological features. The proposed system exhibits a precision of 93.4%, accuracy of 95.1%, specificity of 90.6%, sensitivity of 92.8%, False positive rate of 0.22%, false negative ratio of 0.18%, and classification accuracy of 98.2%. The outcomes of the simulation show that the proposed system for finding and predicting lung cancer is accurate and precise. The proposed method outperforms all methods and provides better lung cancer detection accuracy than others
