selecting an appropriate manufacturing machine is a very important and complex problem for firms, which usually have to deal with both qualitative and quantitative criteria. taking into account the differences among machines in terms of cost, speed, quality and after sale services, type and number of machines are important parameters to consider. therefore, the goal of this paper is to propose ...

Spread spectrum techniques, such as the Chirp Spectrum (CSS) used by LoRa technology, are important for machine-to-machine communication in context of Internet Things. They offer high processing gain, reliable over long ranges, robustness to interference and noise harsh environments, etc. However, these features compromised their poor spectral efficiency, resulting a very low data transmission ...

An intelligent learning-based approach using neural network and fuzzy logic to the problem of interference canceling is proposed in the paper. The famous signal-processing structure of adaptive noise canceling is used for the research of interference signal canceling, in which a neuro-fuzzy system is used as the adaptive notch filter. Four T-S fuzzy rules are in the neuro-fuzzy filter. The filt...

during a period of 7 years (1997-2003) we were received pairs of serum and csf of 27 suspicious clinically cases from neurology department of several hospitals in tehran. among them 7 were serologically positive for progressive rubella panencephalitis (prpe) and 2 were positive for sub acute sclerosing panencephalitis (sspe). rubella virus was isolated from 4 of 7 serologically positive cases o...

Inappropriate implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) shocks are associated with significant morbidity and have the potential to trigger ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac decompensation, and death. We present a case of multiple inappropriate ICD therapies in rapid succession due electromagnetic interference from a Dr-Ho's transcutaneous electric nerve stimulator machine, and subsequently from a ...
