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...

introduction forest ecosystems have continuously downgraded due to every environmental pressure including climate change, aerosols deposits, industrial pollutions and other degradation factors. the output soon or late would be a different forest. forest monitoring is a well-regulated and usually long running procedure, which has the ability to detect these phenomena and reactions based on aims ...

aim and background: cognitivists have recently paid extensive attention to source monitoring deficit as an impairment in schizophrenic patients and is used in clarification of major symptoms including hallucination and delusion. therefore, the present study aimed to explore the effects of source monitoring ability in auditory hallucination. methods and materials: this causal-comparative study u...

This paper introduces a model to make decision on the maintenance of a mechanical component subject to condition monitoring. A stochastic model is used to determine what maintenance action should be taken at a monitoring check and the follow up inspection times. The condition of component has a stochastic relation with measurements. A new state space model is developed and used, to predict the ...

apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (wf) and oval wheels (or oor, out-of-roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. within the fp7 research project “saferail”, apt has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “wheel flat and out of roundness monitoring (worm) syst...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The study explored the capability of the geographic information system interface for the water erosion prediction project, a process-based model, to predict and visualize the specific location of soil erosion and sediment yield from the agricultural watershed of Taganibong. METHODS: The method involved the preparation of the fou...

Usually, in monitoring a proportion p < /em>, the binary observations are considered independent; however, in many real cases, there is a continuous stream of autocorrelated binary observations in which a two-state Markov chain model is applied with first-order dependence. On the other hand, the Bernoulli CUSUM control chart which is not robust to autocorrelation can be applied two-sided co...

The following study is based on a hybrid statistical-deterministic model designed for the assessment of the daily concentration of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide  and particulate matter (PM10) as major pollutants in the Greater Tehran Area (GTA): the capital of Iran. The model uses three available or assessable variables including economic, meteorological and environmental in the GTA for the y...
