background india’s economic growth rate in recent years has been fairly impressive. but, it has been consistently failing to make considerable progress in achieving health related millennium development goal (mdg) targets. lack of coherence between provisions and utilization becomes the face of the problem. inadequacies in outreach, access and affordability coupled with escalating healthcare co...

ObjectiveTo analyse relevant changes in incidence, clinical and microbiological characteristics of nocardiosis over the last 24 years at current institution.Materials methodsThe records patients with (2006–2018) were reviewed then compared a previous cohort (1995–2006). Nocardia isolates identified by 5’-end-16S-rRNA-gene-PCR targeting first 500 bp gene sequencing. Susceptibility tests determin...

in recent years many researches are carried out to develop robots for agricultural applications. one of the main steps in agricultural robot fabrication is the generation of guidance signals. the objective of this research was a feasibility study of ultrasonic sensors in generating guidance signals to determine the position and orientation of a mobile robot for greenhouse applications. a series...

in the recent years, the coherence index is used in many electroencephalographic studies for investigation of brain connectivity in children with adhd disorder. it is suggested that the coherence is a useful index in discrimination of adhd subjects from normal subjects. however, a few studies are accomplished in subtypes of adhd to identify of differences in functional connectivity between adhd...

The present research has been conducted in two quantitative and qualitative sections. In the qualitative section, and based on Grounded Theory, the organizational social coherence model was presented. In the quantitative section, the data obtained from the questionnaires was analyzed at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics including structural equations and through the SPSS and ...

changes in the physicochemical conditions of process unit, even under control, may lead to what are generically referred to as faults. the cognition of causes is very important, because the system can be diagnosed and fault tolerated. in this article, we discuss and propose an artificial neural network that can detect the incipient and gradual faults either individually or mutually. the main fe...

In this paper, we propose a generalized diagnostic algorithm for the case where more than one fault (output a d o r transfer) may be present in the transitions of a system represented by a deterministic finite state machine (FSM). If existing faults are detected, this algorithm permits the generation of a minimal set of diagnoses, each of which is formed by a set of transitions (with specific t...

A number of problems in several areas such as power transmission and distribution, communication and transportation can be formulated as a stochastic-flow network (SFN). The system reliability of an SFN can be computed in terms of all the upper boundary points, called d-MinCuts (d-MCs). Several algorithms have been proposed to find all the d-MCs in an SFN. Here, some recent studies in the liter...
