Distorted Fingerprint Verification System

Distorted Fingerprint Verification System

Abstract

Fingerprint verification is one of the most reliable personal identification methods. Fingerprint matching is affected by non-linear distortion introduced in fingerprint impression during the image acquisition process. This non-linear deformation changes both the position and orientation of minutiae. The proposed system operates in three stages: alignment based fingerprint matching, fuzzy clustering and classifier framework. First, an enhanced input fingerprint image has been aligned with the template fingerprint image and matching score is computed. To improve the performance of the system, a fuzzy clustering based on distance and density has been used to cluster the feature set obtained from the fingerprint matcher. Finally a classifier framework has been developed and found that cost sensitive classifier produces better results. The system has been evaluated on fingerprint database and the experimental result shows that system produces a verification rate of 96%. This system plays an important role in forensic and civilian applications.

Best Practices Nursing Guideline in Phlebotomy for Patient Safety and Quality Improvement

Abstract

Phlebotomy has practiced for centuries and still one of the most common invasive procedures in health care settings. Each step in this procedure affects the quality of the specimen and is thus important for preventing laboratory errors0, patient injury and even death. Unfortunately, phlebotomy poses risks for nurses and still common to carry out dangerous of practices known to increase the risk of needle-stick injury and transmission of blood borne diseases. The touch of a finger to verify the location of a vein before insertion of the needle increases the chance that a specimen may contaminated. This can cause false blood culture results, prolong hospitalization, delay diagnosis and cause unnecessary use of antibiotics. Clinical nursing errors in completing forms and identifying patients are common, costly and preventable. Other adverse effects for patients are common; they include bruising at the site of puncture, fainting, nerve damage and haematomas. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of developed best practices nursing guideline in phlebotomy on patients’ safety and quality improvement. The research hypothesis, implement the developed best practices nursing guideline for phlebotomy will improve the patient safety and quality improvement. Method: A quasi- experimental design utilized in this study. A convenient sample of 80 patients divided equally into study and control groups, 40 patients each. The study conducted at all inpatient medical departments of the Main University Hospital at Alexandria, Egypt. Data was collected using Phlebotomy Nurses’ Performance Observational Checklist consists of three parts. Results showed that there was high incidence of phlebotomy local complications among the control group patients. From the investigators observations, this result may be due to lacking of nursing skills related to different aspects of phlebotomy. In addition, it may be due to inadequate basic education, unavailability of orientation and in-service training programs as well as postgraduate courses. In conclusion, applying the best practices nursing designed guideline for patient safety and quality improvement was effective in phlebotomy.Illustrated best practices nursing guideline should be available as a reference for health care settings recommended [Heba Abdel Mowla Ahmed, 2Lobna Mohamed Gamal Ali. Best Nursing Practices in Phlebotomy Patient Safety and Quality Improvement].

AUTOMATED WEB-BASED SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL TOOLS AND MACHINERY RENTAL SERVICES

Abstract
The main thrust of this study is to design and implement a WEB BASED AGRICULTURAL TOOLS AND MACHINERY RENTAL SYSTEM in Nigeria. Agriculture forms the backbone of Nigeria economy and there is always a need of supporting and improving it .As a part of which some of Nigeria NGO’s are with an initiative of supporting the farmers by facilitating them with the moder agricultural equipment’s on rental basis .Modern agricultural equipment’s make farmers work more efficient and easy .As a part of which there are some organizations that are set up to help those farmers who are in need of such equipment’s,where the organization owns the equipment’s and rent those on request of farmers at liable amounts. At present, farmers need to travel to a place to borrow all the essential needs, which is a tiresome and not a cost effective work. So a smart digital farming is listed as the highest ranking technology opportunity in the latest Global Opportunity report in terms of its expected positive impact on society.
This computer science research is on digitizing the process of renting the agricultural equipments by the farmers through design and imple .We aim at developing a website that farmers can use to get their equipments on rent and also check the availability and renting .We also allow them to book the equipments in advance .It also helps us to get the track of equipments that are on rent .We also aim at developing analytic for the farmers to make better availability of equipments and to keep track of the equipments as well, which could help in providing better support for farmers.Download Full Material-N5000
