Parkinson's disease is one of the most common central nervous system damaging diseases which mainly affects the elderly. The variety of disorders and complications associated with the disease puts the patients in so much trouble. Some of these problems include disorder in balance, walking and Decrease in quality of life. The purpose of this study was Comparing the effectiveness of selected tai ...

A bsiract— Two methods for mult ipath combining are compared for rake reception of a CDMA cellular forward-link traffic channel. Combining based on estimation of the signal-to-interference ratio of the output of each tap of the rake receiver is shown to provide significant performance improvement in comparison with the more commonly considered combiner that is based on measurement of the signal...

The novelty of our approach resides in the processing of real-time power fault events from DDS to GIS web clients in three stages, as illustrated in Figure 2: 1) When the fault overlay is selected, a DDS subscriber is internally launched and connected to the GIS client in order to capture fault events, ie voltage sags, swells and other power disturbances detected at the smart meters and substat...

Using a system dynamics approach, a simulation model for data quality control and improvement of human calorimeter using the indirect calorimetry (IHC: indirect human calorimeter) was constructed. Accurate measurements of human energy expenditure are necessary in estimating appropriate energy requirement. IHC can measure continuously energy expenditure over 24 hours. O2 and CO2 analyzers and fl...

Two experiments evaluated the influence of attentional focus on 10-meter sprint time and start kinetics in a group of collegiate soccer players and highly experienced sprinters. In Experiment 1, the collegiate soccer players were asked to perform 10-meter sprints under an external focus condition, an internal focus condition and a control condition. For the 10-meter sprint time, the results sho...

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the basic building block for development of Smart Grid in Distribution System. The main purpose of AMI is to enable two way communication between consumer and Smart Grid Control Center of Utility which involves remote monitoring & control of energy consumption as well as other parameters in real time. Meter data analytics play a vital role in AMI system...

Previous research at Heriot-Watt University has led to a better understanding of the performance characteristics of siphonic rainwater systems, with particular reference to the priming of such systems. This has resulted in the development of a numerical model capable of accurately simulating the priming phase of single outlet siphonic rainwater systems. However, the majority of installed system...

Recently, Bauer et al. (J Graph Theory 55(4) (2007), 343–358) introduced a graph operator D(G), called the D-graph of G, which has been useful in investigating the structural aspects of maximal Tutte sets in G with a perfect matching. Among other results, they proved a characterization of maximal Tutte sets in terms of maximal independent sets in the graph D(G) and maximal extreme sets in G. Th...
