BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED FEATURE SELECTION AND TUMOR CLASSIFICATION USING ENSEMBLE CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKs (ECNNs) 5.1 OBJECTIVE In general, diagnosing a brain tumour usually begins with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI shows there is a tumour in the brain; the most common way to determine the type of brain tumour is to look at the results from a sample of tissue after a biopsy or surgery. This study addresses the problems of segmentation and detection of abnormal brain tissues and healthy tissues. Processing of pictures used in the medical tools for the discovery of the tumour; only MRI images are not able to identify the tumorous region, improved semi-supervised clustering algorithm, and morphological based segmentation proposed for identification of tumour regions with preprocessing of image. Preprocessing performed by Median filter, and skull masking is used, followed by image enhancement using Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). Then the tumour segmentation process has been performed by the Semi-Supervised Fuzzy C-Means (SSFCM) clustering algorithm. After the tumour area is segmented, then feature extraction is carryout by using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM).…
Sale contract The contract of performance involves a buyer and seller of pizza dough, pizza toppings, soft drinks, and desserts. The usual orders from most companies are a standard 150 pounds, but this time Jerry’s pizza offered to buy 200 pounds. Once Jerry’s pizza signed the contract, it automatically became a legally binding document between the two companies.

Contributions of Alfred Kinsey to the Field of Psychology Alfred Charles Kinsey was a sexologist in the 20th century whose contribution to human sexuality is being used to comprehend sexual behavior in humans. He was born on 23 June, 1984 in Hoboken, New Jersey (“Alfred Kinsey Biography”, 2015). Kinsey developed an interest in biology and pursued it at Bowdoin College, where he graduated in 1916 with a Bachelor in Science in Biology. Kinsey further continued with his studies when he joined the Bussey Institute at Harvard, where he graduated in 1919 with an ScD. He started teaching in 1920 at the Indian University, and his career shifted towards human sexuality in 1938. Kinsey developed the Kinsey Scale and Kinsey Reports, and in 1947, he founded the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University. The collection of Kinsey’s studies are known as Kinsey Reports, where he argued that delaying sexual experience was harmful to human psychologically. Notable discoveries made by Kinsey’s research include discovering that sex before marriage was common despite plenty taboos discouraging it,…
Risk factors of the environment Risk factors harm the lives of most students, either physically or emotionally. These factors include tobacco, poverty, peer pressure, HIV/AIDS, bullying, and sexual abuse, among others. A student exposed to tobacco smoke, either by smoking or through secondhand smoke, is endangered to the risks of heart diseases. HIV, sexual abuse, and bullying are factors that have a negative influence on the self-esteem of students. Low self-esteem makes an individual feel neglected and stressful, hence affecting his or her school performance. Some students have ethical conduct and are even brighter in class but are affected by poverty. It requires a lot of resources, such as school fees, family support, and a healthy body to be in school (Olsson 11 ). Any of these factors may result in a significant number of students failing and hence failing the whole educational institution. As a teacher, we should try as much as possible to engage with the lives of our students. Observing, questioning, and privately discussing with kids on a matter affecting his or her life may open…

Prompts Response Prompt 1 The 31-year-old patient suffers an inflammation in her urinary tract, which is acute cystitis, which is often caused by reactions to some medication, irritation from some products or other diseases. The patient, however, is not allergic to drugs, but her urine has a susceptible E. coli. The students consider going for a first-line agent, which is highly advisable (Mehnert-Kay, 2005) in the treatment of uncomplicated UTI. Still, he has to rule out “nitrofurantoin 100 mg po BID * 7 days.” The bacteria are sensitive to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol and nitrofurantoin (Rondanina et al.,2019). The student is right for not choosing levofloxacin and cephalexin as they are not first-choice agents. Therefore, the recommended drug would be “TMP/SMX DS (160 mg/ 800 mg) po BID * 3 days”. This is per the guidelines from the Infectious diseases society of America. Prompt 2 The student selected a vital practice area. Individuals convicted for crimes and those awaiting trial.

The members were active, and each was contributing adequately to the topic under discussion, which was about how racism brings about inequality in society. While I was presenting my points during the exercise, a colleague of mine started being personal and begun throwing abuses and insults without provocation. I was furious and felt like my assertiveness skills were being challenged. The person was an exploder, an individual who throw tantrums that can bring tensions quickly. He was threatening my relaxed behavior, and I felt the need to respond harshly. However, I had to deal with…
Research Methodology:Postpositivism The positivist is a paradigm that can be named evaluated data. The speculations tested, and the objectives are applied (Muijs, 2010). The truth viewed as not the same as the professional. The theory is straightforwardly watched (Wimmer and Dominick, 2013). the positivist paradigm connected with the perspective on social the truth is target and outer. Axiological convictions speak to the positivist research paradigm as etic. With the specialist keeping up a target position about the information gathered. In epistemology, the aggregated data and realities have enough info (Wayhuni, 2012). Right now, hopes to determine fundamental pragmatic issues. It investigates connections through measurable study and scans for law-like speculations. Right now, the positivist paradigm made as a method that applies logical strategies to cultural wonders or conduct. This way, it is upheld by observational information and sensible thinking. With the supporting proof presents to be unquestionable and verified (Creswell, 2013). By and by, there exist a few negative ramifications related to the positivist paradigm that makes it improper for exploratory research (Lederman and Abell, 2014). Various shortcomings are because…
Research: Composition Kirk & Wen-Mei (2016) argues that composition is the most basic requirement for a designer. The first thing a person or reader looks at when viewing at a set of data is the colour, position and presentation of the diagram. Composition form the last step for designers where they have to think of composition in a way such as the positioning of the graphics, their arrangements besides sizes of the charts, how the interactive controls, as well as annotated elements, have been used across the project and finally the decisions made regarding each table.
