An operating temperature of the photovoltaic (PV) module greatly affects performance and its lifetime. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate in different weather conditions how performance. The primary objective this paper present a dynamic thermo-electric model for determining output power module. presented validated with field measurement at Institute Energy Technology, Faculty University Ma...

BACKGROUND Intuitively, health and capability are distinct but linked concepts. This study aimed to quantify the link between a measure of health status (EQ-5D-3L) and capability (ICECAP-O) using regression-based methods. METHODS EQ-5D-3L and ICECAP-O data were collected from a sample of older people ( n = 584), aged over 65 years, requiring a hospital visit and/or care home resident, and rec...

Determining the appropriate dosage of warfarin is an important yet challenging task. Several prediction models have been proposed to estimate a therapeutic dose for patients. The models are either clinical models which contain clinical and demographic variables or pharmacogenetic models which additionally contain the genetic variables. In this paper, a new methodology for warfarin dosing is pro...

for optimum planning, utilization, and management of lands, recognition of spatial variability of soil properties is necessary. this research was conducted to evaluate spatial variability of soil properties in 5000 ha of arsenjan plain in fars province. for this purpose, soil salinity, ph, particle size percentage, sodium, potassium, and organic carbon (oc) were measured on a systematic squared...

heavy metals are very important from environmental consideration due to their toxicity and accumulative properties. the aim of this study is the evaluation of spatial distribution of cr, co and ni in the surface soils of hamadan province. for this purpose, the surface soil samples (0-20 cm) were collected using systematic random sampling method and the concentration of heavy metals and some of ...

Here, we document the performance of different DFT and DFTB methods with respect to the C−O stretch vibration, both in terms of absolute frequencies and effects of hydrogen bonds on the frequencies. We demonstrate, that PBE/def2-TZVP is a suitable reference for the C−O stretch frequency in carboxylic acids. In the following text, the abbreviations ME (mean error), MAE (mean absolute error), MSE...

leaf wetness duration (lwd) is a key parameter in agricultural meteorology. because of difficulties involved in lwd being readily measured, several methods have been developed to estimate it from weather data. among the employed to estimate lwd, those that use physical principles of dew formation plus dew and/or rain evaporation have shown to be especially transmittable and of sufficiently accu...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health issue in developing countries. Early prediction of TB epidemic is very important for its control and intervention. We aimed to develop an appropriate model for predicting TB epidemics and analyze its seasonality in China. METHODS Data of monthly TB incidence cases from January 2005 to December 2011 were obtained from the Ministry of Heal...

BACKGROUND It's difficult but urgent to achieve the individualized rational medication of the warfarin, we aim to predict the individualized warfarin stable dose though the artificial intelligent Adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). METHODS Our retrospective analysis based on a clinical database, involving 21,863 patients from 15 Chinese provinces who receive oral warfarin after th...
