In general, the conventional techniques like loop impedance and nodal admittance methods are used to find the parameters of SEIG for finding performance under various conditions. In these approaches, long mathematical calculations are involved. With the recent development, ANN and fuzzy logic are used for finding various parameters for different values of machine parameters. By finding these pa...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surgical variables, such as perfusion duration and number of grafts, on resistance and reactance, in heart surgery patients. METHODS 77 patients submitted to coronary artery bypass were studied. The variable concerning time of extracorporeal circulation was classified in four progressive degrees. Resistance and reactanc...

Despite the increasing popularity of IT-enabled personalization, the online consumers’ attitude of reactance appears to be a major inhibiting result in their acceptance of the online personalized advertising. The objective of this study is to study consumers’ reactance of online personalized advertising from the perspective of negative effects. Especially, we identify the rational choice factor...

A novel, improved equivalent circuit model of double-sided linear induction motors (DLIMs) is proposed, which takes the skin effect and nonzero leakage reactance secondary, longitudinal, transverse end effects into consideration. Firstly, traditional with longitudinal are briefly reviewed. Additionally, correction coefficients for derived by one-dimensional analysis models given. Secondly, fact...

BACKGROUND Although non-adherence to antidepressant medications is a significant barrier to the successful treatment of depression in clinical practice, few potentially modifiable predictors of poor adherence to antidepressant treatment are known. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of psychological reactance, health locus of control and the sense of self-efficacy on adherence...

The stability study of a multi-phase (six-phase) induction machine has been performed by applying the eigenvalues stability criterion to the small displacement equations obtained by linearization about an operating point. The eigenvalues provide a simple means of predicting the behavior of an induction machine at any balanced operating condition. The eigenvalues are dependent upon the parameter...

Eysenck in a 1964 article and Petrie in a 1967 article offered theories relating perceptual characteristics to personality traits, primarily extraversion. Petrie believes that perceptual reactance, the degree to which a given individual over or underresponds to external stimuli, is fairly stable within individuals. Eysenck offered a parallel concept, the excitation/inhibition ratio, to explain ...

Social support is an important factor for exercise among cancer patients, but too much control might elicit reactance and lead to detrimental effects. In this pilot study, 56 dyads (cancer patient + relative) filled out a questionnaire assessing social support, social control, and reactance. After 4 weeks (T2), patients' exercise was assessed with a 7-day recall. About half of the patients did ...
