We present a simple and general method for calculation of finite­gap elliptic solutions of the KdV equation as an isospectral deformation of Schrödinger potential based on their representation by rational functions of the elliptic Weierstrass functions.

In this paper, we propose the human lumbar burden evaluation method and state estimation system using a smartphone and an application on agricultural work. The proposed system consists of two functions: (1) “State estimation” has a function of estimating posture (Stand up, Sit down, Crouch, Walk, etc.,)...

The differences in diagnosis and management between immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and leukemia are striking. Leukemia diagnosis and management have evolved substantially over the past 30 years and are now relatively precise. The tendency for leukemic cells to be the overwhelming majority of circulating...

The combination of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) and Raman Spectroscopy (RS) of 100 honey samples collected from different countries were used to develop the calibration model for determination of single phenolic compound. In high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection analysis,...

In certain experimental investigations involving discrete distributions external factors may induce measurement error in the form of misclassification. For instance, a situation may arise where certain values are erroneously reported; such a situation termed as modified or misclassified has been studied...

Objective: According to data of epidemiological and clinical studies, migraine with aura (MA) is associated with cardiovascular disorders, and migraine without aura (M0) is linked to carotid artery dissection. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate and compare arterial wall parameters...

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) and carotid artery intima-media complex thickening (IMT) are regarded as predictors for the progress of atherosclerosis. The anti-oxidant properties of bilirubin and its ability to prevent oxidation of lipids of low density lipoproteins, and thus, development of vascular...

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) on endothelial function, aortic and carotid stiffness, and wave reflection in a population living in the Chernobyl area at the time of 1986 blast, treated with thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. Methods: 23 subjects (age 26±3 years,...

Purpose: Aortic stiffness and wave reflections are determinants of left ventricular performance and independent predictors of cardiovascular risk. Though it is well recognized that regular aerobic exercise can affect arterial stiffness and wave reflections, the acute effect of intense aerobic exercise...

Much research has been conducted on anomaly detection by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The existing WSNs require specialized knowledge and skills to install the sensors in environments such as houses and buildings. Therefore, we have developed a flexible WSN based on small sensor devices that can...

In recent years, the software quality becomes more important because the system becomes large scale and high performance. In general, many defects are embedded in the upstream process of the software development. As one reason of the above, specifications include ambiguous description. As a means for...

A full description of the high-level language for solving arbitrary problems in heterogeneous, distributed, and dynamic worlds, both physical and virtual, will be presented and discussed. The language is based on holistic and gestalt principles representing semantic level solutions in distributed environments...

Due to the mismatch between the order of costumers and the production capacity resulting from demand uncertainty, product shortages or wastes of production capacity occur. In response, the subcontracting of production among the plants occurs to diminish the influence of this mismatch on expected profits....

We construct a deformation quantization for two cases of configuration spaces: the multiplicative group of positive real numbers R+ and the circle S1 . In these cases we define the momenta using the Fourier transform. Using the identification of symbols of quantum observables -- real functions on the...

The dependence on time of the moments of the one-soliton KdV solutions is given by Bernoulli polynomials. Namely, we prove the formula R x n sech 2 (x − t) dx = 2 π n (−i) n Bn ( 1 2 + t π i) , expressing the moments of the one-soliton function sech 2 (x−t) in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials...

With respect to intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems with preference information on alternatives and incomplete weight information, a method based the minimum deviation is proposed. Firstly, some operational laws of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and accuracy...

The construction of belief intervals is crucial for decision-making in multi-attribute group information integration. Based on multi-adjoint and evidence theory, an approach to multi-criteria group decision-making(MCGDM) in intuitionistic fuzzy information system is proposed. First, the upper and lower...

The paper opens up a new aging class and a new stochastic orders which is depend on risk class, that plays vital role in the reliability theory, finance topics, stochastic orders, and the economic theory. The article presents some new interesting implications and characterizations concerning this class....

Background: We have previously shown increased arterial stiffness using aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with COPD. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) (exercise, education and nutritional advice) has respiratory and functional benefits, though effects on cardiovascular (CV) risk have not been...

Arterial stiffness (AS) and central BP (CBP) are new «target-objects» for Antihypertensive Therapy (AT), but the possibility to correction these parameters on nonmedicament treatment is discussed. Aim: To research the possibilities of correction of AS and CBP by AT and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure...

Background: The mechanisms of endogenous progenitor cell trafficking in response to tissue injury in humans are poorly understood. Methods: We based our study on a model of transient myocardial injury, provoked by the use of cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery in 39 patients. Bone marrow (BM)...

Background: Vascular B1 kinin receptor expression is upregulated in human atheroma and the presence of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEi), but its role in man remains unclear. We examined vasomotor and fibrinolytic responses to selective kinin receptor agonism in the human femoral circulation...
