background: cardiac output (co) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. co is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. hence, measuring co has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. sev...

Introduction Pressure ulcers are tissue damages resulting from blood flow restriction, which occurs when the tissue is exposed to high pressure for a long period of time. These painful sores are common in patients and elderly, who spend extended periods of time in bed or wheelchair. In this study, a continuous pressure and temperature monitoring system was developed for pressure ulcer preventio...

to monitor the patient behavior, data are collected from patient’s body by a medical monitoring device so as to calculate the output using embedded software. incorrect calculations may endanger the patient’s life if the software fails to meet the patient’s requirements. accordingly, the veracity of the software behavior is a matter of concern in the medicine; moreover, the data collected from t...

in this paper the design, implementation, and evaluation of an experimental-scale potato yield monitoring system is presented. the main objective of this research was to develop a method for accurate mapping of potato yield. at the first stage an instantaneous yield monitoring system was mounted on a potato harvesting machine. this system consisted of a weighing tray, two load cells, a shaft rp...

pollution has become a very serious threat to our environment. monitoring pollution is the rst step toward planning to save the environment. the use of dierential equations, monitoring pollution has become possible. in this paper, a ritz-collocation method is introduced to solve non-linear oscillatory systems such as modelling the pollution of a system of lakes. the method is based upon bernoul...

particulate and gaseous emissions of pollutants from industries and auto-exhausts are responsible for rising discomfort, aggravates respiratory and cardiovascular. in this study, a system for air quality information in tehran city has been developed, using an online web-based geographic information system. this web-based gis application allows users to recognize areas with a potential increase ...
