Using Electronic Tools and Resources to Meet the Challenges of Anatomy Education in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Anatomy education forms the foundation of a successful medical education. This has necessitated the development of innovative ideas to meet up with current realities. Despite these innovative ideas, there are challenges facing anatomy education, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Problems such as inadequate teaching experts and outdated curricula have made anatomy education in sub-Saharan Africa uninviting and disinteresting. Several interventions have been suggested, such as the procurement of teaching tools and upgrading of teaching infrastructure. However, in this age of information technology; anatomy education, especially in sub-Saharan Africa could benefit from the integration of electronic tools and resources. This article explores the electronic tools and resources such as three-dimensional printing, educational games, and short videos that are readily available for the teaching of anatomy in sub-Saharan Africa. The author concludes by discussing how these electronic tools and resources can be used to address many of the challenges facing anatomy education in sub-Saharan Africa.

Applying Semantics to Reduce the Time to Analytics within Complex Heterogeneous Infrastructures

In today’s age of modern information technology, large amounts of data are generated every second to enable subsequent data aggregation and analysis. However, the IT infrastructures that have been set up over the last few decades and which should now be used for this purpose are very heterogeneous and complex. As a result, tasks for analyzing data, such as collecting, searching, understanding and processing data, become very time-consuming. This makes it difficult to realize visions, such as the Internet of Production, which pursues the goal of guaranteeing the availability of real-time information at any time and place in an industrial setting. To reduce the time to analytics in such scenarios, we present a data ingestion, integration and processing approach consisting of a flexible and configurable data ingestion pipeline as well as a semantic data platform named ESKAPE. The ingestion pipeline provides an abstraction to all tasks related to data acquisition. The main goal is, therefore, the controllable access to data and meta information contained in machines and other systems on the shop floor. Additionally, it provides the possibility to forward the collected data to a configurable endpoint, such as a data lake. ESKAPE acts as one of those endpoints enabling semantic data integration and processing. By annotating data sets with semantic models originating from the Semantic Web, data analysts are able to understand, process and discover these data sets more efficiently. ESKAPE features a three-layered information storage architecture consisting of a data layer for storing integrated raw data sets, a layer containing user-defined semantic models to describe the contextual knowledge necessary to interpret the stored data and a top layer formed by a continuously evolving knowledge graph, combining semantic information from all present semantic models. Based on this storage system, ESKAPE enables the flexible annotation as well as efficient search and processing of data sources without losing the ability of analyzing and querying the underlying raw data with analytic tools. We present and discuss our approach and its benefits and limitations based on a real-world industrial use case.

The Analysis of Technologies Protecting from Web Browsers Identification

In the age of information technology, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain privacy. Sometimes anonymity on the Internet helps to protect everyone’s right. Anonymity on the Internet also helps to protect against possible illegal actions of third parties. There is a number of technologies that you can use to monitor site user activity. These include technologies such as cookies and fingerprints. Today, cookies technology is an important component of most operations on the Internet. This technology is considered to be one of the main tools that Internet resource owners use to track customers. However, this technique is gradually becoming obsolete and often does not give the desired effect. Fingerprint technology is a global identifier. Browser typos make its owner more recognizable not only on frequently visited Internet resources, but also in other electronic sources. Fingerprints capture the holistic picture that a resource receives from a web browser. This allows you to identify the client even if you make changes to your browser settings. This article deals with the problem of anonymity preservation in a network. The authors describe the main technologies for tracking the users’ website activity, the principles of their work, and the protection methods against these technologies. The advantages and disadvantages of the cookies and fingerprint technologies have also been determined.

SMS FOR ANDROID APPLICATION BY USING 3D-AES, PGP AND STEGNOGRAPHY

Today the age of information technology has transformed the ways we communicate with each other. We send emails, send SMS, send message using social networking sites and many more. The uses of computers, smart phones and clouds have become an integral part of our life for sharing information with each other. Thus introduction of all these means have also given rise to misuse of information by third party which can steal our private information.Thus we are thinking of using cryptography for securing our information. Today there are many cryptographic algorithms available for securing data but those are common from AES to RSA. So we are thinking of enhancing the security by using an advanced version of AES called as 3D-AES which generates a symmetric key by shuffling the original key array three times and making the key better each time it is shuffled. Thus the final output key will be morenstrong then a normal AES key. It will help secure the data more accurately than the normal one. The studies should reflect a lower encryption time and more security then the normal one. The other technique is used PGP for encryption and Compress the encrypted message to reduce its length, using Shannon fano algorithm technique.

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENT

The research mainly discusses the correlation between the effect of technological evolution and the environmental aspects on architecture. The research depends on data analysis of theoretical study which carried out to explain the features of this effect. The environment could be classified to two major elements: the natural environment and built environment. Through ages, both natural and built environment are responsible for formulation of cultural and religion identity of any civilization which identifies it and achieves respect and appreciation from various civilization. On other hand, the development of societies requires paying attention and keeping up with technological evolution through ages. Technological evolution provides new tools and techniques for many fields in societies especially architecture as many features are affected by it such as: the evolution of design process, building materials, structural systems, and construction methods. As well, the architectural thinking is developed through the implementation of new digital design methodologies, new building materials configuration, and innovative construction methods. This development formulates a contemporary architecture which differs in its concept and applications from any previous architecture concepts appeared in all ages before information technology age. Recently, a huge confusion caused by approaches which discussed and presented by theorists to achieve the balance between the technological capabilities and environment determinants to submit an objective architecture which meet the need of activities applied in and do not care about the form without the content. The research offers a methodology to measure the extent to which contemporary architecture is connected with the place. The proposed methodology depends on the different dissertations that call for the establishment of a balance between originality and contemporary and is used to evaluate the architectural practices which are connected with the place. The practical study relies on applying the central axis of new Cairo as a case study to follow the Egyptian contemporary practices which are connected to the place.

Mobility Niches: Jitneys to Robo-Taxis

Compared with many developing cities, urban travel choices are rather restricted in the United States, prompting most people to drive. Recently retired from the urban planning faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, Cervero draws from both personal experiences and 3-plus decades of research in making a case for opening America’s mobility marketplace to free-market forces, all the more important in this age of information technology and smart apps. It is argued that a rich mix of mobility options would take form as a result, ranging from smart jitneys to station cars and automated shuttles, that would better serve America’s increasingly diverse traveling public. The emergence of a host of microtransit services in recent years, like shared ride hailing and upmarket private minibuses, bears this out. More transportation choices and new mobility niches, experiences show, can give rise to less wasted and more judicious travel. Traditional urban carriers like public buses and metered taxis can also benefit from a more open, technology-informed mobility marketplace.

Study of Signal Transmission through different Array of Cu, Au and Ag Nanospheres

<p>Twenty first century is the age of Information Technology and we always look for faster information transport and processing capabilities. Data can be moved by transistors and optical fibers. Transistors carry small amount of data and are small in size while optical fibers can carry huge amount of data but are much bigger in size. Metal nanostructures may possess right combination of electric and optical properties to tackle the issues outlined above and realized the dream of significantly faster processing speeds. In this work, dispersion relation in Plasmon modes in linear chain and alternated chain of nanoparticles like silver-gold, silver-copper and gold-copper were studied. Expressions of angular frequency of Plasmon modes, group-velocity and extinction-coefficient were derived by solving equation of motion of Plasmon oscillation on the single kind of nanoparticle and that on different alternated chain of nanoparticles. Expressions of angular frequency of Plasmon modes, group velocity and extinction coefficient were tested for specific linear chain of nanoparticles. Extinction coefficients for the linear chain of Copper, gold and silver nanoparticles were found to be less and group velocities higher than that of alternated silver-gold and alternated gold-copper at their respective resonance frequencies.</p><p><strong>Journal of Nepal Physical Society</strong><em><br /></em>Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2017, Page: 42-48</p>
