    A technological intervention for improving cognitive abilities based on the preferences of Autistic children
    (IEEE, 2021-10-27) Gunathilake, Y. A. G. U. T; Fasliya, R. F; Premarathne, R. D. A. R; Kalhara, D. P; Karunasena, A; Bandara, P. S
    autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multiplex developmental condition which limits the performance of communication and social interaction of young children while hin- dering development of their cognitive capabilities. To educate the Autistic children, this application caters the needs with number of aspects as selection of activities, that develop the cognitive capabilities and user-friendliness. To address the limitations which pays considerations to aspects as above, this research proposes an interactive web application to enhance the educational needs of Autistic children aged 5–8 years with a novel pack of technologies including Augmented Reality (AR), image processing, eye tracking and machine learning. The application has implemented activities to enhance the vocabulary of children using AR while also presenting a number of other activities as drawing activities to improve the motor skills. To analyze how comfortable the children are with the technology, the children are monitored using processing of their drawings, eye-tracking, and emotion identification with voice assisted support are extended.

    Effect of hot ethral-dip treatment for improving peel colour development and reducing stem-endrot of ‘Karuthacolomban’mango
    (Sri Lanka Department of Agriculture, 2004) Sarananda, K. H; Wijesinghe, W. A. J. P; Dulani, H. N; Peiris, C. N
    Poor colour development of the peel and high incidence of stem-end-rot development are the major reasons for excessive postharvest losses in mango, variety” Karuthacolomban ‘. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of artificial ripening by application of ethral at ambient (26ºC), 48º and 52ºC on reducing postharvest losses. Time taken for ripening was shortened when the treated temperature was increased. Peel colour development was improved when fruits were treated at 52 C. Total soluble solids and titratable acidity of induced fruits remained similar to those of control at table ripe stage. No difference observed in the sensory evaluation of ripe mango indicated that the taste, smell and flavour were not affected by the application of ethral. Fruits inoculated with Lasiodiplodia theobromae showed less severity of stem-endrot when those fruits were induced for ripening at 52 C with ethral. When inoculated fruits were allowed to ripen naturally a high disease severity was observed. Therefore, after harvesting, mature” Karuthacolomban ‘mangoes could be treated with hot ethral (1 ml/l H2O) at 52 C for 3 minutes to induce ripening resulting in an attractive peel colour and a low severity of stem-end-rot.
