Process-monitor ing and f a u l t loca t ion techniques have been developed at the Kennedy Space Center in a domain of mixed media con t ro l in NASA's Space Shut t le Launch Processing System. An i n t u i t i v e l y appealing d iagnost ic technique and representat ion of the system's s t ruc tu re and func t ion were formulated in cooperation w i th system engineers.

Abstract Background and Aims Kidney Supportive Care (KSC) is a standard of care for patients with advanced kidney failure where health systems are responding to the high burden experienced physical psychosocial symptoms. While symptom in those receiving haemodialysis (HD) has been previously studied, there paucity studies examining experience on peritoneal dialysis (PD). The aim this study was ...

Abstract Background and Aims Internationally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 10% of the general population. As patients approach CKD Stage 5, they are faced with decision whether to proceed dialysis or conservative, non-dialysis, management (CKM). Regardless pathway, worsening is associated poorer self-perceived health-related quality life (HRQOL). Psychological factors such as depre...

Nowadays, HSI classification can reach a high accuracy when given sufficient labeled samples as training set. However, the performances of existing methods decrease sharply trained on few samples. Existing in few-shot problems usually require another dataset order to improve accuracy. cross-domain problem exists these because significant spectral shift between target domain and source domain. C...

In this paper we describe block algorithms for the reduction of a real symmetric matrix to tridiagonal form and for the reduction of a general real matrix to either bidiagonal or Hessenberg form using Householder transformations. The approach is to aggregate the transformations and to apply them in a blocked fashion, thus achieving algorithms that are rich in matrix-matrix operations. These red...

in order to study the effects of planting pattern on yield and yield components in different cultivars of forage corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted at saline conditions (ec=6.43 ds.m-1) of dasht-e-malhe, neyshabour during growing season of 2009-2010. nine treatments and two furrow planting and furrow bed planting as main plots and three cultivars (ksc 704, zp 644 and ns540) as sub ...
