An active modal-fuzzy control method using hydraulic actuators is presented for seismic response reduction. In the proposed control system, a new fuzzy controller designed in the modal space produces the desired active control force. This type controller has all advantages of the fuzzy control algorithm and modal approach. Since it is very difficult to select input variables used in fuzzy contr...

Eight open chest dogs underwent 25 min of coronary occlusion to determine whether brief myocardial ischemia disrupts the normal myocardial inotropic response to sympathetic nervous stimulation. If so, this could represent a mechanism contributing to postischemic myocardial dysfunction. Myocardial segment shortening was measured using ultrasonic dimension crystals before and after coronary arter...

The temperature and Pressure sensors play a vital role in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). The Rosemount temperature sensor helps to produce the exact temperature and pressure measurement of the nuclear power plant. The sensors that supply real data must respond quickly to the safety systems of NPP. In this paper, first the Dimensionality of the Original dataset is reduced by using Principal Compone...

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of bone palliative therapy following administration of 153Sm-EDTMP in patients with intractable metastatic bone pain. Methods: Sixteen patients (9 male, 7 female) aged 29-80 years (57.3±16.7 years) with severe metastasis-related bone pain resistant to analgesic medications were enrolled in the...

to investigate the effects of different salinity levels of nacl on germination of safflower (cv. esfahan 24) seeds under three different incubation methods, a factorial experiment was carried out based on a complete randomize design with three replications. salinity levels were 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 dsm-1 (nacl) and incubation methods were sandwich method, and using petri dishes with open or clos...

introduction: acute mania is a psychiatric emergency state that often requires rapid management. there are many different therapeutic protocols for this emergent situation. one of them is combination of moodstabilizers and antipsychotics. olanzapine which is now available in our country can be used for this purpose. methods and materials: in this study, we compared the effectiveness, rapidity o...

Diabetic rats in long-term display an augmented nociceptive response to thermal stimuli. Furthermore, hyperalgesia is one of the major symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in some patients. Considering the antidiabetic potential of medicinal plants chard, pepper, and tarragon, this study was undertaken to evaluate the possible analgesic effect of chard-, pepper-, and/or tarragon-mixed food intake in...

abstract: appealing to the principle of vertical residence and stemming the horizontal expansion of the city, the tehran milad tower is being built on 35000 sm3 site with the total area of 220000 sm3. with a height of over 170m, this 56-story concrete building is in the final stages of construction and would be the highest residential building of iran. since tehran is located in a high-risk ear...
