چکیده

Atherosclerosis results from inflammatory processes involving biomarkers, such as lipid profile, haemoglobin A1C, oxidative stress, coronary artery calcium score and flow-mediated endothelial response through nitric oxide. This paper proposes a health status coefficient, which comprehends molecular and clinical measurements concerning atherosclerosis to provide a measure of arterial health. An arterial health status map is produced to map the multi-dimensional measurements to the health status coefficient. The mapping is modeled by a fuzzy system embedded with the health domain expert knowledge. The measurements obtained from the pilot study are used to tune the fuzzy system. The inferred arterial health coefficients are stored into the data cubes of a multi-dimensional database. Due to this adaptability and transparency of fuzzy system, the health status map can be easily updated when the refinement of fuzzy rule base is needed or new measurements are obtained.

Neuro-Fuzzy Based Algorithm for Online Dynamic Voltage Stability Status Prediction Using Wide-Area Phasor Measurements

In this paper, a novel neuro-fuzzy based method combined with a feature selection technique is proposed for online dynamic voltage stability status prediction of power system. This technique uses synchronized phasors measured by phasor measurement units (PMUs) in a wide-area measurement system. In order to minimize the number of neuro-fuzzy inputs, training time and complication of neuro-fuzzy ...
