Information criteria for residual generation and fault detection and isolation
Using an information point of view, we discuss deterministic versus stochastic tools for residual generation and evaluation for fault detection and isolation (FDI) in linear time invariant (LTI) state-space systems. In both types of approaches to oo-line FDI, residual generation can be viewed as the design of a linear transformation of a Gaussian vector (the nite-window input-adjusted observati...
متن کاملOptimal design criteria for isolation devices in vibration control
Vibration control and mitigation is an open issue in many engineering applications. Passive strategies was widely studied and applied in many contests, such as automotive, aerospatial, seismic and similar. One open question is how to choose opportunely devices parameters to optimize performances in vibration control. In case of isolators, whose the main scope is decoupling structural elements f...
متن کاملTB or not TB: treat to see.
This year, some 2400 young Australians entered our medical schools, and in the coming years their numbers will increase further. The Prime Minister recently announced yet another new medical school and continues to top up medical school places. With these developments one thing is obvious — policy announcement is easy, but policy implementation is not. Already, there is talk that the existing h...
متن کاملRapid Molecular Testing for TB to Guide Respiratory Isolation in the U.S.: A Cost-Benefit Analysis
BACKGROUND Respiratory isolation of inpatients during evaluation for TB is a slow and costly process in low-burden settings. Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) is a novel molecular test for tuberculosis (TB) that is faster and more sensitive but substantially more expensive than smear microscopy. No previous studies have examined the costs of molecular testing as a replacement for smear microscopy in this s...
متن کاملIsolation of mycobacteria by BACTEC 460 TB system from clinical specimens.
This article reports our experience with the BACTEC 460 TB system in the past five years and its performance characteristics and its advantages over the conventional LJ medium for mycobacterial culture. Clinical specimens (3597) from patients suspected to have tuberculosis were submitted for mycobacterial culture between May 2000 and August 2005 and were processed using the BACTEC 460 TB system...
