Introduction Newly developed ‘body-in-the-loop’ optimization algorithms have the potential to dramatically improve the performance of robotic assistive devices, such as prostheses and exoskeletons. These algorithms minimize a physiological cost function (e.g., energy expenditure) over a range of parameter values (e.g., controller timing) to determine the optimal parameter setting [1]. Successfu...

The consumption patterns of Indonesian households are around 85% derived from vegetable proteins and 15% animal proteins. Furthermore, low-income often find it challenging to fulfill their energy protein needs. It is becoming a severe issue when the Covid-19 break in Indonesia puts many essential commodities into an excellent uncertainty condition. Although accepted that effectiveness populatio...

The aim of this investigation was to determine and compare current and projected expenditure associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal replacement therapy (RRT), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Australia. Data published by Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and World Bank were used to compare CKD-, RRT-, and CVD-...

in this paper, a numerical method for nding minimal solution of a mn fullyfuzzy linear system of the form ax = b based on pseudo inverse calculation,is given when the central matrix of coecients is row full rank or column fullrank, and where a~ is a non-negative fuzzy mn matrix, the unknown vectorx is a vector consisting of n non-negative fuzzy numbers and the constant b isa vector consisti...

in this paper, we use parametric form of fuzzy number and we converta fuzzy linear system to two linear system in crisp case. conditions for the existence of a minimal solution to $mtimes n$ fuzzy linear equation systems are derived and a numerical procedure for calculating the minimal solution is designed. numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method.

Résumé : Une ontologie pour la prise en charge de l’hypertension est construite pour assister l’analyse qualitative des décisions médicales dans un service spécialisé en hypertension artérielle. La modélisation s’appuie sur trois sources complémentaires. La structure de l’observation médicale informatisée utilisée dans l’unité fournit directement des concepts fondamentaux pour la prise en charg...

Background: The National Health Accounts keep track of all healthcare related activities from the beginning (i.e. resource provision), to the end (i.e. service provision). This study was conducted to address following questions: How is the Iranian health system funded? Who distribute the funds? For what services are the funds spent on?, What service providers receive the funds? Methods: The...

abstract government size plays a vital role in the economic development process. therefore, in this study, the existence of a non-linear relationship between government size and economic growth was investigated using the two-sector production function developed by ram (1986). the data, covering 44 years (1961-2005), were collected from the iranian economic information center. two classification...
