The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve is a popular measure of overall discriminatory power continuous variable used to indicate presence an outcome interest, such as disease or progression. In clinical practice, use cut-off points benchmark values for further treatment planning greatly appreciated, despite loss information that dichotomization implies. Optimal are often de...

background: stress is a nonspecific reaction to everything the body needs. although occupational stress exists in every occupation, it is seen with more frequency and intensity amongst those occupations related to human health. in this study, we aimed to investigate the level of occupational stress in operating room staffs working in the hospitals affiliated to isfahan university of medical sci...

In this paper a design method based on robust fast output sampling technique is presented for the speed control of induction motor. The nonlinear model of induction motor model is linearized around various operating points to obtain the linear models. The input of the induction motor is the stator voltages and only the speed is considered as the output of the systems. A single controller is des...

We present a method to decompose a set of multivariate real polynomials into linear combinations of univariate polynomials in linear forms of the input variables. The method proceeds by collecting the first-order information of the polynomials in a set of operating points, which is captured by the Jacobian matrix evaluated at the operating points. The polyadic canonical decomposition of the thr...

A behavioral approach to the design of gain-scheduled controllers is presented. Plant models are considered to be black-box models obtained at nitely many operating points, and it is assumed that no analytical or empirical relations are known between physical parameters and the plant models. In this situation, it is suggested to interpolate in intermediate operating points, simply by interpolat...

In this article the modeling and control design aspects of an electrostatic microactuator (EmA) with squeezed thin film damping effects are presented. The modeling analysis of the squeezed film damping effect is investigated in the case of an EmA composed by a set of two plates. The bottom plate is clamped to the ground, while the moving plate is driven by an electrically induced force which is...
