Detection and classification of Mango Leaf diseases utilizing convolutional neural network models
(Brac University, 2024-05)Plant diseases, particularly those affecting crop plants, pose a significant danger to world food security by compromising the quality and yield of agricultural produce. Mango leaf disease is one such example. Mango leaf ... -
A quantum Z-transform
(Brac University, 2019-12)We investigate a quantum analog of the classical Z-transform with the aim of making it implementable on quantum computers, potentially offering a speedup over the classical method. Unlike the discrete Fourier transform, ... -
Identifying code-mixed and code-switched hateful remarks on social media using NLP
(Brac University, 2024-05)Online bullying has prevailed for years in the vast cesspool that is commonly known as the online social media. Increasing use of social media and online communication has led to a rise in cyberbullying– which is often ... -
Exploring machine learning techniques for symptom-based detection of livestock diseases
(Brac University, 2024-05)Effective livestock monitoring ensures food security and sustainability in our rapidly growing world. However, proper cattle disease is still not taken seriously in our country. Even in the livestock industry, it has not ... -
Deep learning approaches to EEG and fMRI data: a comparative study for sleep stage classification
(Brac University, 2024-05)In this thesis, for classification of sleep stages, we use deep learning techniques with the help of data from fMRI and EEG. The ConvLSTM models are applied for the fMRI data. The data for the EEG is worked on with the ... -
Classification of potato and corn leaf diseases using deep learning
(Brac University, 2024-06)One of the major hindrances to sustainable agriculture and an imminent threat to food security is plant disease. Constantly monitoring a plant’s health and spotting the problems in it is quite painstaking because it ... -
Trash detection in an aquatic environment
(Brac University, 2024-01)Trash in the water bodies is alarming for the world nowadays. As it is a limited source, pollution caused by the trash is threatening for the environment, wild-life and long term effect for the human health and economy. ... -
Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of pathogenic bacteria Iiolated from the surface of tables in local restaurants in Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2024-05)Pathogenic bacteria pose a significant threat to public health, particularly impacting vulnerable populations with compromised immune systems. Identifying the sources of pathogenic bacteria is important to prevent infections. ... -
Isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae from water and hand swabs of vegetable vendors collected from the wet markets of Dhaka city
(Brac University, 2023-11)Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is considered one of the major causes of human hospital infections which is found in human intestine. This bacterium belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family, and this is a gram-negative, ... -
Identification of uropathogens and antimicrobial resistance of urinary tract infections at tertiary medical college in Bangladesh
(Brac University, 2024)The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of different bacterial microorganisms and their antibiotic sensitivity in urine infections. Antimicrobial resistance has been steadily increasing for a number of years, ... -
