Medication non-adherence is a major problem to all stakeholders, posing escalating costs and risks to patients as well as substantial economic burden to the health care industry. Solutions that attempt to broaden the functions and capabilities of medication management have hitherto been employing a narrow-focused approach, often failing to address the multitude of factors that leads to the phenomena. In this paper, we present an experimental comparison of user attitude towards medication adherence using a single-focused versus a multifaceted personalized medication management system that has been implemented with elements of motivational and educational strategies. The findings from this research suggest evidence of the significance and usefulness of applying a multifaceted approach, in particular, the implementation of motivational and educational strategies in the design of a personalized medication management system in addressing medication non-adherence.
Obtaining high-quality 3D models of real world objects is an important task in computer vision. A very promising approach to achieve this is given by variational range image integration methods: They are able to deal ...

In this joint work, a complete framework for modeling, simulating and visualizing multiphase fluid flow within an extraction column is presented. We first present a volume-of-fluid simulation, which is able to predict the surface of the droplets during coalescence. However, a fast and efficient model is needed for the simulation of a liquid-liquid extraction column due to the high number of occurring droplets. To simulate the velocity and droplet size in a DN32 extraction column, a coupled computational fluid dynamic-population balance model solver is used. The simulation is analyzed using path-line based visualization techniques. A novel semi-automatic re-seeding technique for droplet path-line integration is proposed. With our technique, path-lines of fluid droplets can be re-initialized after contact with the stirring devices. The droplet breakage is captured, allowing the engineer to improve the design of liquid-liquid columns layout.

In this paper, we have proposed a method that consists of combination of different methods. First we have performed enhancement on breast mammogram to enhance the image quality. After that discrete cosine transform has been applied for features extraction. Bayesian Classifier has been used for classification into benign and malignant. It has been noted that results are very much satisfactory. We have used MIAS data set for experimentation purpose. Proposed method performs good when we have tested on different images.

Ear recognition is a promising biometric measure, especially with the growing interest in multi-modal biometrics. Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) have been effectively and efficiently used solving the problems of object detection and recognition, especially when illumination variations are present. This work presents a robust approach for ear recognition using multi-scale dense HOG features as a descriptor of 2D ear images. The multi-scale features assure to capture the different and complicated structures of ear images. Dimensionality reduction was performed to avoid feature redundancy and provide a more efficient recognition process while being prone to over-fitting. Finally, a test was performed on a large and realistic database and the results were compared to the state of the art ear recognition approaches tested on the same dataset and under the same test procedure.

Adopting e-health technologies may be one of the ways to ease the burden of hospitals, where nurses and doctors may be deployed more efficiently to ensure better patient-centered care. The adoption of e-health not only depends on the government, industry players and the current state of technology. Part of the successful adoption also relies on the users' need for it and their attitude towards using e-health in their daily routine. In this paper, we will share the qualitative research findings of 30 participants (10 families). The findings are based on in-depth interviews in users' homes. With these, the Human Factors team hopes to bridge the gaps between three-generation families' (youth, adult, elderly) needs and attitudes towards e-health technologies. This is in view of having designers, researchers and engineers to develop e-health technologies that would be used and adopted by users (three-generation families) in their daily routine.
