Without an appropriate monitoring system, the condition/state of electrical appliances/devices in operation households cannot be fully assessed, resulting uncontrolled expenses. The purpose load techniques is to save electricity consumption. With proper controls, overconsumption energy can reduced and unwanted activity that lead unnecessary consumption eliminated. To achieve this, two approache...

Objective(s):HTLV-1 is the first human retrovirus that has been recognized and is associated with HAM/TSP and ATLL. Studies have shown that less than five percent of HTLV-1 infected carriers develop HAM/TSP or ATLL and about ninety-five percent remain asymptomatic. Therefore, the proviral load with Tax may affect cellular genes such as cytokines and oncogenes, as well as involve in pathogenicit...

The electrical distribution network operation depends considerably on network busloads, which are formed by active and reactive power of the substations. Therefore, the network operation variables such as power flows, currents, voltages, etc. change similarly as do loads. It is possible to notice periodicity, temperature dependency, stochasticity etc. This paper describes the distribution netwo...

In response to the governmental policy of saving energy sources and reducing CO2, and carry out the resident quality of local; this paper proposes a new method for a non-intrusive load-monitoring (NILM) system in smart home to implement the load identification of electric equipments and establish the electric demand management. Non-intrusive load-monitoring techniques were often based on power ...

Induction motors are mainly used for variable load applications and it is vital to have a condition monitoring system with capabilities to diagnose motor faults in variable load conditions. The environment noise varies has non-linear relation with motor load and it challenges the decision making capability of the condition monitoring system. This paper addresses the issue of reliable decision m...

Objective To examine the cost and cost effectiveness of quarterly CD4 cell count and viral load monitoring among patients taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). Design Cost effectiveness study. Setting A randomised trial in a home based ART programme in Tororo, Uganda. Participants People with HIV who were members of the AIDS Support Organisation and had CD4 cell counts <250 ×10 cells/L or World ...

SETTING A randomised trial in a home based ART programme in Tororo, Uganda. PARTICIPANTS People with HIV who were members of the AIDS Support Organisation and had CD4 cell counts <250 × 10(6) cells/L...

BACKGROUND There is concern that antiretroviral therapy (ART) use with only clinical monitoring for failure will result in high rates of transmission of virus with resistance to drugs currently in use. METHODS A stochastic simulation model of transmission of HIV, natural history and the effect of ART, was developed and used to predict the proportion of new infections with resistance according...

Many athletes, coaches, and support staff are taking an increasingly scientific approach to both designing and monitoring training programs. Appropriate load monitoring can aid in determining whether an athlete is adapting to a training program and in minimizing the risk of developing non-functional overreaching, illness, and/or injury. In order to gain an understanding of the training load and...
