The Navy’s Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS) is continuously evolving to meet the needs of today’s fleet as well as the requirements of future ship designs. This paper describes a technology known as the non-intrusive load monitor that could support the evolution of ICAS and other condition-based maintenance (CBM) systems. The non-intrusive load monitor (NILM) [8, 9, 10] can be used...

A non-intrusive appliances load monitoring system has been developed to ascertain the behavior of each electrical appliance in a household by disaggregating the total household load demand. This system does not need to intrude into a house when metering power consumption of each appliance. Therefore, the system has significant cost advantages and is less troublesome to the customers. This paper...

Most of the existing systems for elderly health monitoring deploy a large number of cognitive sensors including wearable sensors for physiological parameter measurement. Increasing number of sensors not only make the system power consuming and expensive but also intrusive in nature. However, there exists very limited research on power saving algorithms in such systems incorporating customer fri...

background non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the most common form of liver disease in many parts of the world. objectives the aim of the present study was to identify the most important factors influencing nafld using a classification tree (ct) to predict the probability of nafld. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was conducted in kavar, a town in the south of fars prov...

bankruptcy is an event with strong impacts on management, shareholders, employees, creditors, customers and other stakeholders, so as bankruptcy challenges the country both socially and economically. therefore, correct prediction of bankruptcy is of high importance in the financial world. this research intends to investigate financial crisis prediction power using models based on neural network...

This article presents a new approach to the non-intrusive quality estimation of transmitted speech. Traditional estimation methods exhibit limitations to providing diagnostic information and for practical monitoring purposes. The new approach merges solutions to overcome the existing limitations and intends to provide a new user-friendly estimator. We present an overview and the planned structu...

Given a parameterized n-dimensional SQL query template and a choice of query optimizer, a plan diagram is a color-coded pictorial enumeration of the execution plan choices of the optimizer over the query parameter space. Similarly, we can define cost diagram and cardinality diagram as the pictorial enumerations of cost and cardinality estimations of the optimizer over the same space. These thre...

study area is located in district of bajestan and ferdows cities, ne of iran. structurally, this area is part of lut block. the oldest exposed rocks, to the north of intrusive rocks and in eastern bajestan, are meta-chert, slate, quartzite, thin-bedded crystalline limestone and meta-argillite. the sedimentary units are: sardar formation (carboniferous), jamal formation (permian), sorkh shale an...

The electrode is the crucial component of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), and key for development BCI technology. Compared with non-intrusive electrodes intrusive electrodes, semi-invasive...
