Intelligent machine health monitoring and fault diagnosis are becoming increasingly important for modern manufacturing industries. Current fault diagnosis approaches mostly depend on expert-designed features for building prediction models. In this paper, we proposed IDSCNN, a novel bearing fault diagnosis algorithm based on ensemble deep convolutional neural networks and an improved Dempster-Sh...

BACKGROUND In this study, the anti-melanogenesis efficacy of clinically used herbal prescription LASAP-C, which consists of four herbal medicines-Rehmanniae Radix Crudus, Lycii Fructus, Scutellariae Radix, and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, was investigated. METHODS The chemical profile of LASAP-C was established by conducting ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass s...

Any discourse carries commitment to necessarily existing objects or ontology before laying and establishing the ground for communication concordant between actor and reactor. Any intelligent being only able to lock into an interaction by grounding this ontological commitment beneath if there exist an intentionality. This paper intended to reveal the beingness of existence for ontological commit...

Increasing number of information technology users allows possibility for crimes to take advantage continue increasing either directly and indirectly. Criminals often use computer devices commit crimes. This is a major concern so that the need handling digital evidences becomes significantly urgent. Therefore, forensic storage framework required managing evidences. designed by applying composite...

Data dissemination is a fundamental task in wireless sensor networks. Because of the radios range limitation and energy consumption constraints, sensor data is commonly disseminated in a multihop fashion (flat networks) through a tree topology. However, to the best of our knowledge none of the current solutions worry about the moment when the dissemination topology needs to be rebuilt. This wor...

BACKGROUND Besides the relevant role of brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) as biomarker of cardioembolic strokes, new experimental evidences suggest that this peptide may mediate neuroprotective effects. In this study, we have evaluated for the first time the clinical association between BNP (by means of proBNP) and good outcome in ischemic stroke patients, and analyzed the effect of blood BN...
