The classification problem is one of the important research subjects in the field of machine learning. However, most machine learning algorithms train a classifier based on the assumption that the number of training examples of classes is almost equal. When a classifier was trained on imbalanced data, the performance of the classifier declined clearly. For resolving the class-imbalanced problem...

The project adopts machine learning algorithms to perform proactive storage health management to reduce data center down time. Specifically, we develop reliable algorithms that can predict disk drive failures for timely replacement. The dataset is a collection of SMART disk drive attributes provided by BackBlaze. To construct compact time-series for model development, three techniques are used ...

The provision of continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT) to small children has generally required the adaptation of adult machines and modified operational characteristics. CRRT prescription for younger and smaller children versus adults differs significantly due to problems concerning the extracorporeal blood volume, the need for circuit blood priming, and the adaptation of machines desi...

To ensure the production/output and customer satisfaction in mining sector the estimation of Remaining Useful Life of mining machineries is a prime. In this paper we used the reliability analysis in order to estimate an optimal mining equipment repair/replacement policy by estimating their remaining useful life. The proportional hazard model was used in reliability analysis to be realistic and ...

Machine recognition of mathematical expressions is not trivial even when all the individual characters and symbols in an expression can be recognized correctly. In this paper, we propose to use Deenite Clause Grammar (DCG) as a formalism to deene a set of replacement rules for parsing mathematical expressions. With DCG, we are not only able to deene the replacement rules concisely, but their de...

introduction: caustic ingestion is responsible for a spectrum of upper gastrointestinal tract injury from self-limited to perforation. this study conducted to evaluate clinical characteristics as well as surgical outcomes in patients with caustic ingestion.   materials and methods: between nov1993 to march 2011, 14 adults with a clinical evidence of corrosive ingestion were admitted into our in...

background: vitamin d (vit d) is linked to various conditions including musculoskeletal, metabolic and   cardiopulmonary diseases. however, it is not clear whether correction of vit d deficiency exerts any beneficial effect in patients with pulmonary hypertension. methods: this study was a prospective uncontrolled longitudinal study. patients with pulmonary hypertension and vit d deficiency wer...

adrenal insufficiency is a life-threatening disorder which must be treated with glucocorticoid replacement and needs permanent dose adjustment during patient's different somatic situations. insufficient glucocorticoid doses result in adrenal crisis and must be treated with intravenous hydrocortisone. the patient was known with adrenal insufficiency and was treated optimally with fludrocortisone...

introduction: despite advances in cardiac surgery, many patients might still encounter some post-surgical complications and difficulties. to overcome such difficulties, they should receive the required education. in view of the fact that determining the educational needs is the first step in educational planning, the present study aims to determine the educational needs of patients undergoing h...

background : postmenopausal hot flash is a common disease amongst women with high prevalence of 75%. hormone replacement therapy (hrt) is a well-known relief of symptoms which has disadvantages such as side effects and contraindication for certain types of hormone related diseases and breast or estrogen related cancers. one of the alternatives is acupuncture which is an east asian and more spec...
