Good Day!

         I am a 4th year Computer Application student formally request access to the research paper. My thesis focuses on developing a machine-learning based system for identifying counterfeit medicines specifically Biogesic, and this information is needed to compare the performance evaluation metrics of the model that was used. Access to this documentation would be beneficial for a comprehensive assessment of my thesis work.

Thank you!
