background: although upper-extremity disability correlates with psychosocial aspects of illness the association with sleep disturbance in upper extremity disability is less certain. to evaluate whether sleep disturbance is associated with upper-extremity disability among patients with upper extremity illness, accounting for sociodemographic, condition-related, and psychosocial factors. methods:...

in this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. to analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

abstract: this paper represents a novel use of artificial neural networks in medical science. the proposed technique involves training a multi layer perceptron (mlp) (a kind of artificial neural network) with a bp learning algorithm to recognize a pattern for the diagnosing and prediction of five blood disorders, through the results of blood tests from h1 machine. the blood test parameters and ...

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) have become prevalent in industry and play an essential role managing industrial processes, automation systems, renewable energy sources due to their superior efficiency, torque, power density. However, because it operates like a non-linear system with quick dynamics, variable parameters during operation, unknown disturbances, PMSM presents challenges ...

In underground excavation, where the road-headers are employed, a precise prediction of the road-header performance has a vital role in the economy of the project. In this paper, a new model is developed for prediction of the road-header performance using the non-linear multivariate regression analysis. This model is able to estimate the instantaneous cutting rate (ICR) of roadheader based on r...
