this study involved the development and evaluation of a new filtering technique, as based on adaptive free mass load cell. the technique's application in reduction of vibration and impulse noise (commonly added to the sugar cane harvester yield monitoring signals) was tested. this technique is based upon assimilate spring- mass vibration system of weighing scale with a free mass load cell ...

PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate pulmonary artery (PA) clot load scores and computed tomographic (CT) cardiovascular parameters as predictors of mortality in patients with severe pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained with waiver of informed consent. A total of 82 consecutive patients (42 women, 40 men; mean age+/-standard deviation,...

It is commonly assumed that internal energy dissipation will ultimately drive planets to principal axis rotation, i.e., where the rotation vector is aligned with the maximum principle axis, since this situation corresponds to the minimum rotational energy state. This assumption simplifies long-term true polar wander (TPW) studies since the rotation pole can then be found by diagonalizing the ap...

An effective control scheme for three-phase three-wire active power filter is proposed in this paper. Conventionally, the majority of existing APF control strategies in literature adopts feed-forward control scheme, which results in switching notches (sharp-rising or falling ripples) in the source-side currents at conduction instants of diode/thyristor rectifier load. The proposed method utiliz...

Organisms react to environmental challenges by activating a coordinated set of brain-body responses known as the stress response. These physiological and behavioral countermeasures are, in large part, regulated by the neuroendocrine hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Normal functioning of the HPA axis ensures that an organism responds appropriately to altered environmental demands, repr...

Pseudostratified epithelia have smooth apical and basal surfaces, yet along the apical-basal axis, cells assume highly irregular shapes, which we introduce as punakoids. They interact dynamically with many more than visible at surface. Here, review a recently developed new perspective on epithelial cell organisation. Seemingly random first sight, packing configurations entire axis follow fundam...

This paper presents the modelling and parameter determination of an induction motor. The dynamic induction motor model was derived in relatively simple terms by using the concept of space vectors in d-q variables based on two-axis theory equations and the space phasor notation. A synchronous reference frame in which rotor flux lies on the d-axis was chosen with simplified dynamic equations and ...

BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) provide better outcome than biventricular devices, but it is a challenge to predict the impact of LV mechanical unloading on postoperative right ventricular (RV) function preoperatively. We assessed the load dependency in RV performance before and after LVAD implantation aiming to improve preoperative decision making. METHODS AND RESULTS Labo...
