Enhancing Brain Tumor Classification with a Novel Three-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) Fusion Model
Get PDFThree-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3D CNNs) have been widely applied to analyze brain tumour images (BT) to understand the disease\u27s progress better. It is well-known that training 3D-CNN is computationally expensive and has the potential of overfitting due to the small sample size available in the medical imaging field. Here, we proposed a novel 2D-3D approach by converting a 2D brain image to a 3D fused image using a gradient of the image Learnable Weighted. By the 2D-to-3D conversion, the proposed model can easily forward the fused 3D image through a pre-trained 3D model while achieving better performance over different 3D baselines. We used VGG16 for feature extraction in the implementation as it outperformed other 3D CNN backbones. We further showed that the weights of the slices are location-dependent, and the model performance relies on the 3D-to-2D fusion view, with the best outcomes from the coronal view. With the new approach, we increased the accuracy to 0.88, compared with conventional 3D CNNs, for classifying brain tumour images. The novel 2D-3D model may have profound implications for future timely BT diagnosis in clinical settings
Swin Wavelet Transformer (SWT): Mixing Tokens with Wavelet and Multiwavelet Transforms
Get PDFThe Swin Transformer possess a hierarchical structure, a robust structure, and an efficient self-attention mechanism. This makes it superior in performance for a wide variety of artificial intelligence and machine training tasks. It has revolutionized the field of digital signal processing and its applications by creating vision in multiple fields. It uses non-overlapping windows which leads to creating a distinct perspective and understanding of the context of the digital signals. However, it possess a very complicated hierarchical structure an complexities together. By reducing calculations and complexities together. This will lead to robust performance that make it a powerful tool for a wide range of computer vision tasks.
In this research, simplified symbol mixing methods were developed for coding structures similar to transformers, by forming various semantics in the text through linear mixing transformation and in combination with nonlinearity in the feed-forward layers. Hence, we were able to successfully propose a Swin Wavelet Transformer (SWT) model in which the self-attention sublayer was replaced by a Wavelet transform. In a second attempt, the wavelet transform was replaced by the multi-wavelet transform. These two proposed models are achieved a better performance from their FNets and BERT counterparts and are highly competitive with traditional and efficient transformers
Simultaneous Determination of Iron and Copper in Aqueous Solution Using Spectrophotometry
Get PDFIron and copper mixtures were quantitatively determined in aqueous solutions for the first time using the analytical method in this approach with the aid of T60U Spectrophotometer. The method is so simple, fast, economic, and can be carried out easily on a bench. The absorbencies for iron, copper and iron-copper mixtures in aqueous solution were measured using T60U adopted with UVWin6 software UV -VIS Spectrometer (pg instruments United Kingdom) by filling two 5 ml quartz cells of dimensions 1*1*5 cm, the first is filled with the blank solution which is a solution containing all the constituents of the sample except iron and copper and the other quartz cell is filled with the stock solution iron and/or copper under investigation. Absorbency of iron was determined by setting T60U spectrometer wavelength at 504 nm, meanwhile for copper absorbency measurements the apparatus is set at 304 nm. Iron, copper, and iron-copper mixture calibration curves were of very high accuracy with the least linear regression value of ≤ 1, i, e the measured data were of relative standard deviation value (RSD) of ≤ 1.5%

Verifying The Association Between IL6 -174G/C Polymorphism in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Get PDFBackground : Diabetes mellitus, also known as blood sugar, is a series of metabolic disorders described by high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), low blood glucose (hypoglycemia), or both, resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Numerous studies have shown that interleukin (IL-6) acts on skeletal muscle cells , liver cells, and pancreas cells to influence glucose balance and metabolism, which directly or indirectly contributes to the development of diabetes. Research in this area is crucial because diabetes is recognized as a major risk factor for many diseases like Diabetic retinopathy, Diabetic nephropathy, Diabetic Neuropathy , heart disease and others. Patients and methods : In this study, we tested three of genotypes GG; GC ; CC for IL6 -174G/C polymorphism to determine its association with type 2 diabetes and its effect on insulin. One hundred T2DM patients and 100 clinically healthy participants were enrolled in the study. Results and Conclusion : Based on the results presented by the researcher, the three genetic polymorphisms GG, GC, and CC of the IL6-174G/C polymorphism did not appear to be associated with type 2 diabetes or determine the course of the disease. Given society’s demand for radical solutions and the necessity of reducing the increasing number of deaths every year, these findings underscore the need for continued research into understanding the complex interplay of factors that contribute to diabetes-related complications
Integration Between Satellite Images and Spectral Analysis Using The ASD Device to Distinguish Wheat and Barley Plants
Get PDFThe cultivation of wheat and barley crops is one of the most important crops cultivated in Iraq, which contributes to the economic and social development in the country. Iraq seeks to adopt economic policies aimed at cultivating the two crops and undermining their import with the aim of self-sufficiency in them. The current study relied on studying the spatial distribution of the two crops in Nimrud sub-district and the possibility of distinguishing between them by remote sensing data, where a landsat 8 images acquired on March 5, 2020 were used, then a digital processing was performed on them. The spectral signature of the two crops was measured, the NDVI was calculated, then the supervised classification was performed by (ILWIS) program. The results showed the appropriateness of choosing the satellite image in March, which is the season for planting these two crops, as they constitute the two main crops in this period before planting other summer agricultural crops, which helped in identifying and distinguishing the two crops. The results also showed that the wheat crop is predominantly cultivated in the region, with an area of (271,797) km2, while the area of land cultivated with barley was small, with an area of (7,303) km2
