Trypanosomiasis is a significant public health problem in several regions across the world, including South Asia and Southeast Asia. The identification of hotspot areas under active surveillance is a fundamental procedure for controlling disease transmission. Microscopic examination is a commonly used diagnostic method.

Computer-aided diagnosis has been developed to automatically identify avian malaria infections and classify the blood infection stage development. In this study, four types of deep convolutional neural networks, namely Darknet, Darknet19, Darknet19-448 and Densenet201 are used to classify P.

In principle, such a transistor can be used to form for various transistor types by using the atom/molecule trapping tools, which is named by an optical tweezer, where in application all type of transistors, especially, molecule and photon transistors can be performed by using the trapping tools, which will be described in details.

A new optical trapping design to transport gold nanoparticles using a PANDA ring resonator system is proposed. Intense optical fields in the form of dark solitons controlled by Gaussian pulses are used to trap and transport nanoscopic volumes of matter to the desired destination via an optical waveguide. Theoretically, the gradient and scattering forces are responsible for this trapping phenomenon, where in practice such systems can be fabricated and a thin-film device formed on the specific artificial medical materials, for instance, an artificial bone.
