A Deep Learning Based Spontaneous Retail Product Identification
Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, language: English, abstract: The concept of self-service retail store has been successfully adopted around the world since its inception in 1916 United States of America. People carry their required retail products in a cart, hand-basket and make their purchase by standing in the queue to make payment. With advancements in electronics and computer sciences, this project aims to ease the "traditional purchase experience" at the same time maintaining the conventional "Hold-Observe-Purchase" experience by attempting to automate the billing procedure. Using deep learning algorithms and Image processing principles, the product images are recognized and its pertaining information is used to generate the transactional ledger as the products are added. This phase of the project aims at training our model to recognize custom images of Indian Retail products more specifically "Indian Consumable Retail products". Furthermore, the trained model is deployed on a "Single Board Computer (SBC)" such as "Raspberry Pi 4" to recognize the product images by taking its picture with the Raspberry Pi camera attached to the SBC and running the image through the trained model to identify it and generate the transaction ledger. Objectives: Primary objective to develop this project, was to eliminate the need of long payment queues especially in weekends in retail stores by automating the payment procedure. Implementing a complex principle of image recognition to promote "Digital payment revolution in India under atmanirbhar bharat" as predicted results are used to generate the transactional ledger. To learn and create a custom image data set of the retail products using data augmentation and image processing principles which is comprised of internet search results and photos captured by smart phone.

Improve Java Coding
The journey of improving coding skills continues even after learning programming. The key question becomes: How can one write code professionally while addressing critical concerns such as code maintainability, code re-usability, security issues, and memory leaks? This book focuses on real-world code examples, aiming to avoid unnecessary, boring, extended theoretical discussions. Instead, it goes straight to the point in coding and offers improvements with clear explanations.Any building is eventually finished, but successful software is never truly finished. New features need to be built, causing the code base to grow over time, and concerns about maintainability grow with it if programmers don't pay serious attention to it.If you asked an expert and a junior programmer to write code for a specific program, you would realize that the expert accomplishes the goal with significantly less code than the junior programmer. Every extra line of code written unnecessarily creates more issues in terms of maintainability, opening the doors to hacking and security vulnerabilities.The problem with coding is not that poorly written code doesn't work; the real problem is that it does. Therefore, it can be challenging for an inexperienced programmer to realize what a better version could be.In this book, I will provide you with common mistakes through different pieces of code that function correctly, but I will also explain why it is crucial to avoid that kind of coding, even though it works.Before diving into the chapters, let's highlight a few code issues to help you determine whether this book will benefit you. The code examples provide a preview of this book's approach to assist you in improving your Java coding. This book systematically addresses issues in the following steps: Presenting common code mistakes through a simple piece of code.Running the code to reveal unexpected outcomes.Explain the case and provide code improvements.This approach ensures you understand how to manage similar code challenges in your programming work.

Effective Go Recipes
Programmers love Go because it is lightweight, easy to work with, and easy to read. Go gives you the benefits of dynamically typed languages (speed of development) while keeping the upsides of strongly typed languages (security and performance). Go is a simple language, but programming in Go is about more than just mastering syntax. There's an art to using Go effectively. Squeeze out the full use of advanced networking and multi-core power for which Go was designed. Save precious coding hours with recipes that help you manage objects, collect garbage, and safely use memory. Tackle Unicode, concurrency, and serialization with ease. All the clean, reusable solutions you need for a wide variety of problems common to Go development. Outfitted with these recipes, your next apps will be more polished and more maintainable than ever. Start out by tackling time and see how the Go time packager provides types that will do most of the heavy lifting for you. Next, work on recipes tailored to the nuances of processing text, like normalizing strings to avoid bugs. From there, whip up some functions on-the-fly and store functions in variables and data structures. Ever wondered why Go seems to be peppered with error handling? Working through the next recipes, you'll discover the benefits, which include more robust code. In the section on HTTP, you'll learn tricks like running multiple HTTP servers on the same port and setting timeouts. With concurrency recipes, you'll limit the number of goroutines to improve performance, give your code awareness of timeouts, and decide when to keep your code sequential instead of making it concurrent. Throughout the book, you'll make Go sizzle following simple recipes and tweaking them to fit your own apps. Using tools like strong typing and concurrency primitives, build a Go codebase that stays maintainable at scale. What You Need: You should know the Go language syntax and have some experience in programming. You will need a Go SDK, a Git client, and for some of the chapters, a C compiler.

Barriers to the use of an IT PMM in a large financial institution
Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: A, University of Malta, language: English, abstract: During the early 2000s, it was argued that there was a need for ways to determine the quality of qualitative studies in medicine, and therefore, a need for developing appraisal criteria for qualitative research. Critically appraising journal articles allow one to filter out the low-quality studies and distinguish misleading information. In an attempt to apply this to the field of management, whilst reducing the possibility of flaws and classification errors, the CEBMa adapted appraisal questionnaires for specific study designs, one of which - 'Appraisal of a Case Study' - shall act the basis of this critical essay. The article in review is featured in Elsevier's 'International Journal of Project Management' and was made available online on ScienceDirect.com on the 8th of January 2016. As declared in the journal's 'Author Information Pack' document, papers by the editorial board are selected for publication based on their relevance, clarity, topicality, the extent to which they advance knowledge, and their contribution to inspiring further development and research. The information pack contains a strict and lengthy checklist of requirements and guidelines for researchers to adhere to, before submitting their research for publishing in the IJPM. Hence, a journal article undergoes a rigorous test prior to being released and therefore, at face value, one can expect this study to be trustworthy and of adequate quality.
