In recent years, natural disasters and terrorist attacks have been quite numerous, and broadly reported in the media. The tourism industry has been especially impacted by these emergencies. In order to mitigate the effects of such events, guaranteeing an adequate level of preparedness is essential. However, despite the extreme disrupting events that large-scale disasters such as tsunamis have h...

The glimpsing model of speech perception in noise operates by recognising those speech-dominant spectro-temporal regions, or glimpses, that survive energetic masking; hence, a speech recognition component is an integral part of the model. The current study evaluates whether a simpler family of metrics based solely on quantifying the amount of supra-threshold target speech available after energe...

Recently, several disasters have affected the tourism industry. In order to mitigate the effects of disasters, increasing the level of preparedness is essential. However, despite the devastating effect disasters can have on tourism, few tourism organizations have properly developed disaster strategies as an integral part of their business plans. Emergency management systems that utilize mobile ...

objective: the purpose of this study is to compare the executive functions children and adolescents who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) with normal children. method: twenty children with adhd were compared to 19 healthy children terms of some executive functions using the computerized version of tower london, continuous performance test (cpt), and stroop color test. ...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy tracking control approach is proposed for a class of single-inputsingle-output (SISO) nonlinear systems in which the unknown continuous functions may be nonlinearlyparameterized. During the controller design procedure, the fuzzy logic systems (FLS) in Mamdani type are applied to approximate the unknown continuous functions, and then, based on the minimal learnin...

This chapter presents results on enhancing robustness of quantum systems with uncertainties using the sampling-based learning control (SLC) method.

1INTRODUCTION Tumor cells have a very distinctive metabolism. Several previous studies have considered the metabolic changes that take place in the host after tumor implantation. Metabolic abnormalities arising from malnutrition and malignancy are seen in animals or patients with cancer cachexia. Various cancers affect the lipid metabolism.1-7) Rats subcutaneously implanted with the ascites hep...
