In this research paper is to relate effectiveness of KNN algorithm and the Gradient Boost algorithm for editing prostate cancer, in order to determine which one is more efficient. Materials and methods: This study aimed to relate K Nearest Neighbor and Gradient Boost machine learning algorithms for predicting prostate cancer. Each algorithm was run more than ten times, and the top five performing models were recorded for each. The analysis was performed on a sample size of 20, divided into two groups of N=10. Our approach achieved an accuracy rate of over 81%, suggesting potential for developing an effective prostate cancer diagnostic tool. Results and discussion: The suggested machine learning methods have the potential to improve prostate cancer diagnosis and could have a significant impact on patient outcomes. The significant value is p=0.01 which is less than the 0.05. So there is a significant variance between the two sets. Conclusion: The study highlights the significance of accurate prostate cancer prediction for early detection and effective treatment. The research results indicated that the Gradient Boost model achieved superior accuracy of 81% in comparison to KNN, which achieved an accuracy of 66%.

The proposed topology significantly reduces the number of dc voltage sources, switches, IGBTs, and power diodes as the number of output voltage levels increases. To synthesize maximum levels at the output voltage, the proposed topology is optimized for various objectives, such as the minimization of the number of switches, gate driver circuits and capacitors, and blocking voltage on switches. This new type of converter is suitable for high voltage and high power applications. This multilevel inverter has ability to synthesize waveforms with better harmonics spectrum. In this project a study of 13-level inverter using less number of switches as compare to the technologies previously developed. MATLAB software is used for simulate the 13-level inverter. Also a comparison analysis is carried out for symmetrical and asymmetrical multi-level inverter with open loop as well as closed loop using PI controller. The simulation was carried out using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation study demonstrates the merits of asymmetrical multi-level inverter over symmetrical multi-level inverter and also proves the effectiveness of closed loop PI controller in providing an output voltage with reduced distortions.

The groundwater resources of crystalline bedrock regions are primarily located within lithostructural discontinuities. While traditional methods of photo-interpretation of satellite imagery are widely employed, they are often constrained by factors such as cloud cover, dense vegetation, and the subjectivity of the interpreter. To mitigate these biases, an automated approach employing the PCI LINE module of PCI Geomatica has been adopted to extract lineaments from Landsat-7 ETM+ imagery, aiming to enhance the reliability of fracture network mapping. The study area, which encompasses the municipality of Tanghin Dassouri, is situated in the central region of Burkina Faso and is dominated by granitoids. It is traversed by a complex network of tectonic structures (faults and shear zones) that may facilitate the presence of groundwater reservoirs. The automated extraction of lineaments has identified a total of 427 fractures, with lengths ranging from 16 meters to 4814 meters, and has revealed three primary directional classes: NW-SE, N-E, and E-W, corresponding to major orogenic phases. These findings were validated by electrical resistivity profiles, which confirmed the presence of conductive structures interpreted as shear zones, likely to contain groundwater. The results of this study indicate that remote sensing, when combined with automated lineament extraction and field verification, is an effective tool for identifying aquifer fractures and optimizing the location of high-yield boreholes in crystalline areas. The integration of these techniques can significantly improve groundwater resource management strategies in the Tanghin Dassouri region and beyond.

This study concerns the fish population of the estuary and mangrove areas of the bay of Sangaréah carried out from January 2015 to December 2016, at the rate of a monthly sample, carried out in the first week of each month. The methodology used by (7) has been used for qualitative and quantitative studies of ichthyoplankton. Thus, the study made it possible to inventory 5938 individuals divided between 20 families and 30 species, dominated by the Clupeidae (26%). The high concentration of ichthyoplanktonic organisms is observed in the areas of Sonfonia, Samatran, Soumba and Arabanty. In short, the constant presence of eggs and larvae of ontogenetic stages make these areas of estuaries and mangroves environments for migration advection, ontogenetic development and food. Ichthyoplankton is one of the modern tools used in bio-indication and bio-monitoring of aquatic ecosystems. Has diverse population, dominated by eggs and larvs

Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension is a high risk pregnancy that threatens the health of the mother or her foetus. The recent introduction of colour Doppler flow imaging provides opportunity for non-invasive monitoring during pregnancy. Objective: The aim of present study was to know the significance of Doppler in pregnancy induced hypertension and to analyse their role in predicting perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: It was a prospective study conducted amongst 180 women diagnosed with PIH from August 2018 to November 2019 in a general hospital which is a tertiary level referral centre having well equipped Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). All pregnant women diagnosed with PIH after 20 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Pulsatility Index (PI) in uterine, umbilical and middle cerebral artery were noted and end diastolic flow in umbilical artery doppler was also noted. Their perinatal outcome was noted. Results: It is observed that maximum number of pregnant women were in the age group of 20-24 years.144 patients suffering from PIH had mild disease whereas 36 patients had severe disease. 31 patients had diastolic notch in uterine artery. 33 patients had elevated umbilical artery PI while 147 patient had normal PI. 2 patients showed reversal and 28 patients showed absent end diastolic flow. 34 patients had decreased MCA PI while 146 patients had normal PI. 35 patients had abnormal MCA/Umbilical artery PI ratio whereas 145 patients had normal ratio. 41 had adverse perinatal outcome and 139 had uneventful outcome. 21 patients had elevated uterine artery PI as well as adverse perinatal outcome. 23 patients had uterine artery diastolic notch as well as adverse perinatal outcome. 29 patients had elevated umbilical artery PI as well as adverse perinatal outcome. 31 patients had decreased MCA PI as well as adverse perinatal outcome. 32 patients had MCA/Umbilical artery PI ratio less than 1.08 as well as adverse perinatal outcome. Conclusion: The knowledge of uterine, umbilical and middle cerebral artery waveform may help to improve pregnancy management and permit identification of pregnancy induced hypertension at earliest gestation age. Doppler plays an important role in monitoring growth restricted foetus and thereby may help to determine the optimal time for delivery.

Microwave ablation (MWA) is an advanced, minimally invasive technique used for the treatment of solid tumors. By utilizing microwave energy, MWA generates heat that causes tumor cells to undergo coagulative necrosis, leading to their destruction. The technique has gained widespread acceptance due to its precision, efficacy, and ability to treat tumors in difficult-to-reach locations. This article provides an in-depth exploration of the principles and techniques underlying microwave ablation, as well as its clinical applications across various cancer types, including liver, kidney, lung, and thyroid tumors. The advantages of MWA—such as shorter recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and the ability to treat tumors in patients who are not surgical candidates—are highlighted. Additionally, the article addresses the technical challenges, potential risks, and complications associated with the procedure. The effectiveness of MWA in combination with other therapeutic modalities, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, is also discussed. Finally, the article reviews recent advancements in MWA technology, including improvements in probe design, imaging techniques, and treatment precision, offering a glimpse into the future of tumor ablation therapies.

Like what is observed in conccrete reality, eros innervates literary fiction with various fortunes whether in Western world or in Africa. In L’Empreinte de l’ange publied in 1998 by Nancy Huston and Si la cour du mouton est sale ce n’est pas au porc de le dire from Florent Cuao Zoti, Eros carries the story in multiples angles: money, sexuality and power structuring then a discourse with multivocal stakes with strong nuances from one writer to another.To Huston, sexuality brings such a shaft that allows Saffie the heroine to overcome the throes of a dysphoric world, to know a moult and to find oneself. In the narrative fiction of Couao Zotti appears as much a social satire as a reflection of good quality on the crossed hunts of the binders between sex, money and power. This study is from a comparative perspective to cross two glances on the figures of Eros to determine the scriptural stakes with a triple heuristic or narrative semiotic, sociocritical inking and Analysis of the discourse.
