TOWARDS ENSEMBLE CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHMS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST CANCER IN WOMEN: A COMPARATIVE APPROACH
REFNo: SIR64ES
General objective
To design an ensemble model from heterogeneous base learners for detecting breast cancer to reduce the error rate on diagnosis, reduce the time taken to reach a diagnosis and also accurately predict a future risk of the disease.
Specific objectives
1. To establish requirements for designing machine learning model for diagnosing breast cancer in women with abnormal breast masses.
2. To design classification models for diagnosing breast cancer in women with abnormal breast masses.
3. To Evaluate the performance of the designed models and establish a better model for diagnosing breast cancer in women with abnormal breast masses.
4. To develop an ensemble model from the evaluated classification algorithms for breast cancer diagnosis in women.

Using vulture movement patterns in Queen Elizabeth National Park to understand and address poisoning and poaching activities
REFNo: NS311ES
Overall goal: To understand and address the main threats to vultures (and carnivores) in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Objective: Use data from tagged vultures to assess vulture population status and threats, identify and respond to poisoning (and other) incidents and use this information to improve law enforcement and conservation management strategies, and develop appropriate human-wildlife conflict mitigation tools.
Output 1 – Establish a real-time monitoring system by tagging vultures in QENP
Activities
1. Trap and deploy four 70g solar-powered satellite units on White-backed vultures.
2. Analyze data from tagged vultures to find indicators of poaching activities
3. Identify mortality alerts form tagged birds to locate poisoning incidents
4. Provide regular, relevant information to key partners, WCS and UWA, to integrate within existing anti-poaching operations and ensure poisoning events are rapidly discovered and addressed.
Output 2 – Assessment of population status of vultures in QENP
Activities
1. Conduct annual roadside surveys of vultures and other scavenging raptors to understand abundance of birds in QENP, and compared with other similar well-studied sites
2. Use findings from vulture movement studies to inform roadside survey efforts, so that surveys can focus on suitable habitat
3. Use findings from tagged vultures to identify nesting areas and possibly colonies
4. Use population trend change over time to inform long-term success of the conservation management strategies developed from this project
Output 3 – Assessment of threats to vultures in QENP
Activities
1. Take blood samples from vultures to assess the risk of lead exposure in QENP vulture populations and look for seasonal variation in lead levels that may relate to legal and illegal hunting.
2. Collect and map information on mortality events of tagged birds, including the frequency, location and reason for mortality to identify hotspots and main threats
3. Synthesize information with other important overlapping research, such as from collared lion monitoring and known depredation events
Output 4 – Build the capacity of rangers to rapidly respond to poisoning events.
Activities
1. Train 20 rangers in proper protocols for collecting samples at poisoning event to gather appropriate evidence so that perpetrators may be found as well as in proper carcass disposal methods to reduce secondary contamination.
2. Train 20 rangers on how to rehabilitate any sick or injured vultures found at these events and how to release them back into the wild
