In this paper, an effective nonstationary boundary estimation scheme in EIT is presented based on the interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm. The inverse problem is treated as a stochastic nonlinear state estimation problem with the time-varying boundary (state) being estimated on-line with the aid of the IMM algorithm. In the design of the IMM algorithm multiple models with different proce...

The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of conventional and extendedintramammary (IMM) therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cattle using nafcillinpenicillin-dihydrostreptomycin combination (NPD). Sixty-five dairy cows with 126 infected quarters were enrolled in the study. Infected cows were allocated randomly to 1 of 3 different treatment regimens...

In this paper, we analyze the problems of the existing interacting multiple model (IMM) and spectral subtraction (SS) approaches and propose a new approach to overcome the problems of these algorithms. Our approach combines the IMM and SS techniques based on a soft decision for speech presence. Results reported on AURORA2 database show that proposed approach shows 14.26 % of average relative im...

IMM (Interactive multimedia) has the potential to facilitate learning by providing new means of interacting with information, offering learners the ability to explore ideas and concepts that they find difficult to understand when represented in traditional media (e.g. diagrams and text in books). To know how to capitalise on this, however, requires understanding how IMM works. In this paper we ...

IMM (Interacting Multiple Model) algorithm is widely used in target tracking, and its basic principle is described in detail at first. However, the IMM algorithm fails to obtain the prior probability of model conversion quickly and accurately when tracking for target. In this paper, an improved IMM algorithm based on ANFIS (the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system) is proposed. The improved a...

Background and Objective: Antibiotic resistance is the ability of microbes to survive antibiotic exposure with standard doses. Regular updating of antibiotics is one solution to overcome antibiotic resistance. One source with potential new antibiotics is moonmilk from caves because it contains various bacteria proven to have antibacterial activity. The objective of the present study is to explo...

BACKGROUND One adverse side-effect of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) is a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This effect might be the result of increased glomerular contractions. The present study compared the contractile effects of CsA, cyclosporin G (CsG) and the novel cyclosporin derivative IMM 125 in isolated rat glomeruli and primary cultures of rat mesangial cel...

Aimed at solving the problem of decreased filtering precision while maneuvering target tracking caused by non-Gaussian distribution and sensor faults, we developed an efficient interacting multiple model–unscented Kalman filter (IMM-UKF) algorithm. By dividing the IMM-UKF into two links, the algorithm introduces the cubature principle to approximate the probability density of the random variabl...

Taking into account the disadvantage of the potential loss of accuracy due to the overmodeling at these nonmaneuvering times in the interacting multiple model (IMM) method, an improved IMM algorithm based on the Viterbi technique and the model probability cumulant is proposed. First, select one or two optimal models from the model set to enhance the model utilization rate. Then, judge the varia...

Long-term potentiation (LTP) at the basal-dendritic synapses of CA1 pyramidal cells was induced by a single 200 Hz stimulation train (0.5-1 sec duration) in freely behaving rats during one of four behavioral states: awake-immobility (IMM), walking, slow-wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Field EPSPs generated by basal-dendritic excitation of CA1 were recorded before and up to...
