The current intense interest in gold nanoparticles is due to their Surface Plasmon Resonances (SPR) that depend strongly on the shape and size of the nanoparticles. As the SPR wavelength and resonantly enhanced absorption and scattering properties also depend on the dielectric medium in which gold nanoparticles are embedded, and also depend on the way of their clustering, they are useful to design novel nanodevices, in particular when it is based on ideas taken from nature. With purpose to select the most promising configurations for novel nanodevice design in this work the method of cell recognition and evaluation of its efficiency is proposed. Exist different methods to produce microscopic images, they can be obtained for different types of cells in different environments. Due to this fact, the recognition algorithms are needed. All methods have their advantages and disadvantages and may work well only under certain conditions. Therefore, it is useful for each specific task to implement a separate algorithm that will be effective for the existing set of images, and take into account the peculiarities of these images. The task of this work is not only to develop flexible and customizable algorithm, that can be configured to segment cells on different types of images, but also provide numerical error analysis corresponding to each step of algorithm. As a result, a solution is developed, that has many customizable parameters to optimize the result for a specific data set and specific accuracy. In addition, this it is resistant to a lot of noise and artifacts, that can occur on images, such as uneven background, small debris, loss of focus when shooting. Numerical error analysis allows getting form of cell segmentation more precisely to be reproduced for novel nanostructured device design.
This article examines the potential and limitations of blockchain technology and lockchain-based smart contracts in relation to copyright. Copyright has long been enforced through technological means, specifically Digital Rights Management. With the emergence of blockchains, many are now predicting a new era regarding the administration and enforcement of copyright through computer code. The article introduces the technology and related potential and limitations while stressing its capacity to act as a form of normative ordering that can express public or private objectives.
The given work is devoted to a series of issues related to the potential, requirements and appropriate ways to provide a successful outsourcing IT services to university department with marketable IT expertise. University is IT outsourcing partner which could catch special IT related needs and tasks of the companies or business and provide through the students those services for a profitable quantity/price ratio for both sides. The main question is how to figure out the real needs in IT of a partner company and how to make sure that these needs are not too difficult for the students within a university department that is working for becoming a reliable IT outsourcing partner. This work focuses on suggestions on how to classify the IT related outsourcing possibilities to university. In the work represented formula for ranking companies regarding the potential that their outsourcing IT requirements will be within a low range solvable by a university as subcontractor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
