Gene-Gene Interaction Analysis: Correlation, Relative Entropy and Rough Set Theory Based Approach

Abstract: Logical interaction between every pair of genes in a gene interaction network affects the observable behavior of any organism. This genetic interaction helps us to identify pathways of associated genes for various diseases and also finds the level of interaction between the genes in the network. In this paper, at first we have used three correlation measures, like Pearson, Spearman and Kendall-Tau to find the interaction level in a gene interaction network. Rough set can also be used to find the level of interaction, as well as direction of interaction between every pair of genes. That’s why in the second phase of the experiment, entropy measure & Rough set theory are also used to determine the level of interaction between every pair of genes as well as finds the direction of interaction that indicates which gene regulates which other genes. Experiments are done on normal & diseased samples of Colorectal Cancer dataset (GDS4382) separately. At the end we try to find out those interactions responsible for this cancer disease to take place. To validate the experimental results biologically we compare it with interactions given in NCBI database.

Analysis of a FSO link under different rain conditions

Abstract: Attenuation due to different weather conditions plays a significant role in the performance of the Free Space Optical Communication (FSO). Here, in this paper, we have analyzed the effect of rain on the performance of the FSO Link. We have calculated the link margin for different rain intensity and then experimentally validate the effect of rain on FSO link in term of frame loss.

Integrated maritime security & surveillance

Abstract: The coast guard are not being able to detect foreign intruders in some cases. Occasionally, the fishermen would often sight a stranger poaching in their fishing grounds, but the maritime transport would often leave without making any penalty. These problems also exist within Indian coasts too having a large fleet at its disposal. The system that we propose would prevent the fishermen from crossing the maritime border line and would help the fishermen to inform the coast guard regarding a trespasser. Thus, the overall security of coastline will increase and it also would reduce the periodic patrolling of sea by the coast guard.

Monitoring of the Lung Fluid Movement and Estimation of Lung Area Using Electrical Impedance Tomography

Abstract: It is very essential to visualise the internal condition of human body not only for studying the anatomy and physiology, but also for diagnosing a disease Physicians always try to analyze an organ or body part in order to study its physiological and anatomical status for understanding and/or treating its illness Thus, it is always requisite to introduce the diagnostic tool called medical imaging The period of medical imaging started in 1895, when Roentgen discovered the powerful invisible rays called X-rays Gradually the medical imaging introduced X-Ray CT, Gamma Camera, Positron emission tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Ultra SonoGraphy (USG) Recently, medical imaging field is more advanced with comparatively newer tomographic imaging modalities like Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and Photoacaustic Tomography (PAT) The EIT has been extensively researched in different fields of science and engineering due to its several advantages In correlation with the application of the EIT in the medical field, thoracic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is used to diagnose patients suffering from the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) for monitoring their conditions ranging from dynamic shifting of body fluids to lung aeration, right at the bedside Moreover, EIT-derived numeric parameters would help the physician to evaluate the state of the lung of a patient under observation Thus, here we have performed a Finite Element Method based simulation study for monitoring the condition of lungs and heart of ARDS patients Therefore, a finite element method (FEM) model of human thorax in three dimensional platform with FEM Multiphysics software is created and tested with new ventilation indices regarding their ability to quantitatively describe structural changes in the lung due to the gravitationally dependent lung collapse Additionally, analysis is made to find the electrode pairs capable of separating the lung and heart activity when a particular amount of constant current is injected through them, are also carried out Finally, a real time EIT system using 16 Ag-AgCl electrodes are developed to get the image of human thorax The data are collected using the adjacent current injection technique and are plotted using FEM Multiphysics software The reconstructed FEM images using the forward solver of EIT method shows the approximate area of the thorax (lungs, heart etc) under observation This chapter will present a brief overview on application of EIT for monitoring of the lung fluid movement and estimation of lung area in a human being alongwith physical and mathematical aspect with a goal to achieve a system having higher potential to cater medical challenges in lung oriented diseases
