This project outlines a method to capture the state of a “Connect-4” board game in realtime using a webcam and basic image segmentation methods. “Connect-4” is two player perfect information game, which was strongly solved in 1988 [1]. In this implementation, a human player will always play first as red. The program will then acquired board state using a webcam, and then calculate a ”good” resp...

Graphs and Digraphs: A graph G = (V,E) is a structure that represents a discrete set V objects, called vertices or nodes, and a set of pairwise relations E between these objects, called edges. Edges may be directed from one vertex to another or may be undirected. The term “graph” means an undirected graph, and directed graphs are often called digraphs (see Fig. 1). Graphs and digraphs provide a...

Rifampicin-Resistant/Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB) is recognized as a major public health concern globally. In Armenia, the proportion of RR/MDR-TB increasing among all people affected with TB. We conducted nationwide cohort study involving analysis programmatic data to investigate rates and factors associated unfavourable treatment outcomes patients registered by national TB pro...

Strings: One important area of algorithm design is the study of algorithms for character strings. Finding patterns or similarities within strings is fundamental to various applications, ranging from document analysis to computational biology. One common measure of similarity between two strings is the lengths of their longest common subsequence. Today, we will consider an efficient solution to ...

a tree of 10—20 m popularly known as tapiá, tanheiro-defolha redonda, tanheiro, or canela-raposa. It is found in the southern and southwestern regions of Brazil, mainly in the Atlantic pluvial forest. An ethnopharmacologic survey indicated that some species from the genus Alchornea are commonly used for the treatment of gastric diseases. Despite the common use of this species as a medicinal pla...
