[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess intra-rater and inter-rater procedural reliability of ultrasound imaging measurements of transversus abdominis thickness. [Subjects] Thirty therapists who attended the B Hospital in Hwaseong participated in the study. [Methods] Two examiners assessed transverse abdominis thickness at rest and during contraction. Intra-class correlation coefficie...

In the dairy industry world wide, several hundred types of liners are used to milk dairy cows. The enormous amount of liner types with different characteristics in size, form, consistency and other design and manufacturing characteristics indicate that no ‘best’ liner has been identified in the last 60 or so years since machine milking has become the common method for milk harvesting. Mechanica...

In this paper, a model of electricity hydrogen integrated energy system considering virtual storage is proposed to enhance the penetration rate renewable energy. Specifically, mathematical modeling conducted for hydrogen. Considering thermal characteristics buildings and demand response from users, into optimize system’s overall performance. A day-ahead intra-day optimization scheduling strateg...

We use mobile phone usage data to measure the extent of segregation Syrian refugees in Turkey, and analyze its role their internal mobility patterns. construct a range dissimilarity normalized isolation indices using hourly call volume natives. The richness allows us compute across different provinces over time. Segregation levels show high variation country, with significantly lower higher sha...

BACKGROUND Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive method of determining hemodynamic parameters. It is clinically important to determine whether any change in ICG parameters occur due to changes in disease status or therapeutic interventions, or due to normal hemodynamic and technology variability. The objective of this study was to establish the intra- and inter-day reproducibility of IC...

There is a great resolution calling for smart grids in recent years. Introduction of new technologies, that make the network flexible and controllable, is a main part of smart grid concept and a key factor to its success. Transmission network as a part of system network has drawn less attention. Transmission switching as a transmission service can release us from load shedding and remove the co...

Though uninteresting individually, Twitter messages, or tweets, can provide an accurate reflection of public sentiment on when taken in aggregation. In this paper, we primarily examine the effectiveness of various machine learning techniques on providing a positive or negative sentiment on a tweet corpus. Additionally, we apply extracted twitter sentiment to accomplish two tasks. We first look ...
