Abstract— This paper considers two important classification algorithms for to classify several power quality disturbances. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). The last one is a novel algorithm that has shown good performance in general patterns classification. Nevertheless, Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (MLPANN) is the most popular and most widely...

Disturbances of acid-base balance and electrolyte abnormalities are commonly seen in patients with acute leukemia. Our study aimed at illuminating the probable pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for these disturbances in patients with acute leukemia admitted to our hospital. We studied 66 patients (24 men and 44 women) aged between 17 and 87 years old on their admission and prior to any therap...

Acid-base problem solving has been an integral part of medical practice in recent generations. Diseases discovered in the last 30-plus years, for example, Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome, D-lactic acidosis, and bulimia nervosa, can be diagnosed according to characteristic acid-base findings. Accuracy in acid-base problem solving is a direct result of a reproducible, systematic approach t...

Introduction: Respiratory and blood pressure changes as well as fluid administration alter the acid-base balance during the perioperative period which may cause consciousness disturbance and additional hemodynamic disorders. The aim of this study was to identify frequent postoperative acid-base disturbances in order to control postoperative complications. Materials and Methods: This prospective...

Physiol. 221(4) : 1192-1208. 197 1 .-Free-flow samples of tubular fluid (TF) were collected from superficial nephrons of rat kidneys for the analysis of potassium (K), pH, bicarbonate and inulin-W. Rats were subjected to metabolic or respiratory...
