introduction: delay in the diagnosis of tuberculosis increases the risk of death and enhances the transmission of disease in the community. this study aims to determine the patient and health service delay and factors affecting it in tuberculosis diagnosis. materials & methods: a cross-sectional survey that included all the public health centers was conducted in markazi province from march 2009...

Disease diagnosis is a challenging task due to large number of associated factors. Uncertainty in the process arises from inaccuracy patient attributes, missing data, and limitation medical expert's ability define cause effect relationships when there are multiple interrelated variables. This paper aims demonstrate an integrated view deploying smart disease using Internet Things (IoT) empowered...

Power systems are naturally exposed to several fault conditions, namely short-circuits. Automatic protection and control systems are responsible for selective tripping of faulted devices and their subsequent reconnection. An application to automatically diagnosing abnormal conditions in power distribution network substations is described in this work. It is based on a model of the power network...

Advanced diagnostic techniques have become essential for supporting reliable testing of modern systems due to the rapid growth in complexity of these systems. Errors in the test process become more likely with increased complexity and need to be treated carefully to maximize accuracy in diagnosis. In this paper, we discuss several approaches to analyzing conflicting test results. We have concen...
