Application of deep Neural Networks for object detection in satellite images

The rapid growth in satellite imagery has helped scientists understand the Earth better. The improved understanding of the Earth makes it possible for scientists to perform better in all activities that range from disaster management in the form of mobilizing resources to comprehend global warming by monitoring its effects. The major limitation of this achievement is the assumption that significant features in satellite images, like buildings, roads, trees, or water bodies, can be easily identified, either manually or semi-automatically, but always perfectly. In this paper to overcome this limitation, we use different convolutional neural networks with modifications such as proposed PSPNet, U-net architecture, Inverted pyramid and XGBoost algorithm for accurately detecting specified features in satellite images from Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) database. Automation of feature detection in satellite images is not only useful in making smart and quick decisions, but also in bringing innovation in the application of computer vision methodologies to satellite imagery.

Measuring employee motivation levels in an educational organisation

The study examined the motivation levels of employees of an educational institution. Employee motivation levels tend to have an influential impact on performance levels of the workforce as well as the success of the organization. The employees have ranked twenty factors of motivation on a constructed questionnaire and the results have further been interpreted in order to move beyond the usual ways of using pay as a motivating factor and suggesting better ways in order to keep the workforce motivated, keeping in mind the organizational policies of the institution.

Skin cancer detection using Digital Image Segmentation

The detection of skin cancer in the earlier stage is very important and critical. In recent days, skin cancer is seen as one of the most Hazardous forms of the Cancers found in Humans. Skin cancer is found in various types such as Melanoma, Basal and Squamous cell Carcinoma among which Melanoma is the most unpredictable. The detection of Melanoma cancer in an early stage can be helpful to cure it. Computer vision can play an important role in Medical Image Diagnosis and it has been proved by many existing systems. In this paper, we present a computer-aided method for the detection of Melanoma Skin Cancer using Image processing tools.

An experimental investigation for the rate of heat transfer in double pipe heat exchanger inside helically coiled tube

The effect on heat transfer and pressure drop is characterized by arranging tubes in helical shape with a different pitch, the experiment is conducted. During conducting experiment the tubular region is maintained by varying the mass flow rate of fluid with the same temperature. After the experiment, the calculated results are obtained, for the same working condition. The average heat transfer rate is increased by 18% by making a tube in helical coil shape over a straight tube. At the same time, the overall heat transfer coefficient also increased by 18% by providing a helical coil shape over a straight tube. Also, the helically coiled tube plays an important rule to improve the heat transfer rate and overall heat transfer coefficient, also raise in pressure drop across the flow. The number of turns and diameter of the coil is important to create turbulence inside the coil. The increase in heat transfer rate with an increase in pressure drop. By comparing with present work we can increase the heat transfer rate by inserting the spring inside the helically coiled tube and also increases by a change in fluid properties. As compared with previous work on the same experiment the helically coiled tube with the minimum pitch we can achieve the high thermal performance

Basic issues about organization and apparatus of the current political system in Vietnam Vu Hong Van

The socialist political system in Vietnam is a whole including the Communist Party of Vietnam, the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations working to maintain and protect the power and interests of the working class, the working people and the Vietnamese nation. With three basic features: unification, democracy, and unity, the Vietnamese political system has shown. In the course of operation, there are issues that require the Vietnamese political system to innovate to meet the requirements of the country and the world. This study focuses on elucidating the organizational structure, advocacy process as well as proposing some solutions to make the Vietnamese political system work more effectively.
