This paper describes results from a demonstration study utilising an integrated approach (SAMREL) for reliability of electricity supply analysis. The SAMREL methodology is based on a power market simulator (EMPS), a power system simulator (PSSE) and the OPAL methodology for reliability and interruption cost assessment. The integrated methodology is used for short and long term planning, such as...

To improve Big Data reliability, the Big Data Structure of Internet of Things should consider different reliability rules while building the Big Data Structure of Internet of Things. In this paper, an assessment model to assess Big Data Structure of Internet of Things is presented. This assessment model is based on two different reliability rules: connection degree and relevance. The main goal ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke remains primarily a clinical diagnosis, with information obtained from history and examination determining further management. We aimed to measure inter-rater reliability for the clinical assessment of stroke, with emphasis on items of history, timing of symptom onset, and diagnosis of stroke or mimic. We explored reasons for poor reliability. METHODS The study w...

Background: Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) is used in the assessment of upper extremity motor function in stroke patients. This scale contains 15 items and assesses joint-segment movements and functional tasks. Objectives: Translation and assessment of internal consistency and reliability of the Persian version of WMFT in Iranian stroke patients. Materials and Methods: After translation ...
