Environmental contextA widespread pollutant in groundwater, rivers and lakes is nitrite, which is commonly determined batchwise by using colourimetry. The batchwise method, however, requires relatively large and expensive instrumentation, and hence is unsuitable for in-field measurements. This work introduces a simple and portable colourimetric analyser based on a mobile-phone camera for monitoring nitrite concentrations in environmental water samples. AbstractA cost-effective and portable colourimetric analyser installed on a mobile phone was used to measure nitrite in water samples in Chiang Mai City, Thailand. The colourimetric detection was based on the Griess reaction, in which nitrite ion reacts with sulfanilic acid under acidic conditions to produce a diazonium salt that further reacts with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form a red–violet azo dye. Under controlled conditions using a light-tight box with LED flash lights, images of the red–violet solution were captured using a built-in camera and further analysed by a program, Panalysis, on the mobile phone. The calibration graph was created by measuring the red colour intensity of a series of standard nitrite solutions from 0.09–1.8 mg N L−1. The calibration equation was then automatically stored for nitrite analysis. The results demonstrated good performance of the mobile phone analyser as an analytical instrument. The accuracy (RE <4%) and precision (RSD ≤ 1%, intra- and inter-day) were also obtained with a detection limit of 0.03 mg N L−1 and a sample throughput of 40 samples per hour. Our results establish this simple, inexpensive and portable device as a reliable in-field monitor of nitrite in environmental waters.

Having already discussed MatConvNet and Keras, let us continue with an open source framework for deep learning, which takes a new and interesting approach. TensorFlow.js is not only providing deep learning for JavaScript developers, but it's also making applications of deep learning available in the WebGL enabled web browsers, or more specifically, Chrome, Chromium-based browsers, Safari and Firefox. Recently node.js support has been added, so TensorFlow.js can be used to directly control TensorFlow without the browser. TensorFlow.js is easy to install. As soon as a browser is installed one is ready to go. Browser based, cross platform applications, e.g. running with Electron, can also make use of TensorFlow.js without an additional install. The performance, however, depends on the browser the client is running, and memory and GPU on the client device. More specifically, one cannot expect to analyze 4K videos on a mobile phone in real time. While it's easy to install, and it's easy to develop based on TensorFlow.js, there are drawbacks: (i) developers have less control over where the machine learning actually takes place (e.g. on CPU or GPU), that it is running in the same sandbox as all web pages in the browser do, and (ii) that in the current release it still has rough edges and is not considered stable enough to use in production.

In Bangladesh with a large number of pulmonary tuberculosis cases and financial constraints with high HIV risk, evaluation of scanty i.e paucibacillary cases has great importance. To study the efficacy of Light Emitting Diode fluorescent microscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis specially paucibacillary cases in comparison to conventional fluorescent microscopy, Ziehl-Neelsen staining and culture of sputum samples from patients suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis. 150 sputum samples collected from the patients suspected of pulmonary tuberculosis were processed by the Petroff's method, and subjected to Ziehl-Neelsen staining (ZN), which were examined by both LED and conventional fluorescent microscope (CFM) and culture on Lowenstein- Jensen media (gold standard) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, out of 150 patients 14.67%, 8.67%, 4% cases were detected as paucibacillary (Scanty) cases by LED, CFM, ZN respectively. LED fluorescent microscopy is more effective in the detection of paucibacillary cases of pulmonary tuberculosis than other methods of microscopic examination.
