In this study, implementation of markerless method of human body motion tracking as a tool of measurement of hurdle clearance kinematic parameters was presented. The analysis involved 5 hurdle runners at various training levels. Recording of video sequences was carried out under simulated starting conditions of a 110 m hurdle race. Kinematic parameters were determined based on the analysis of i...

Purpose. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of different intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas for eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 26.00 mm. Methods. This study reviewed 407 eyes of 219 patients with AL longer than 26.0 mm. The refractive prediction errors of IOL power calculation formulas (SRK/T, Haigis, Holladay, Hoffer Q, and Barrett Universal II) using User Group f...

Midazolam clearance is used to phenotype hepatic CYP3A activity but requires multiple plasma samples following a single intravenous dose. The authors evaluated the use of a limited sampling scheme, using different assay techniques to determine the reproducibility of such a strategy in estimating midazolam AUC. Seventy-three healthy adults received midazolam as a single intravenous bolus dose. A...

abstract understanding distribution of physical and chemical soil parameters is very important in recognizing, planning, and soil and water resources management in precision agriculture. regard to the problems related to direct measurement, finding solution to estimate these parameters are very essential. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the spatial variation of some soil parameters su...

The main objective of this study was to develop a hybrid neuro-fuzzy system for estimating the magnitude of EMG responses of 10 trunk muscles based on two lifting task variables (trunk velocity and trunk moment) as model inputs. The input and output variables were represented using the fuzzy membership functions. The initial fuzzy rules were generated by the neural network using true EMG data. ...

Online rating systems serve as decision support tool for choosing the right transactions on the internet. Consumers usually rely on others’ experiences when do transaction on the internet, therefore their feedbacks are helpful in succeeding such transactions. One important form of such feedbacks is the product ratings. Most online rating systems have been proposed either by researchers or indus...

In this study, taking into account the Aksu Stream data, daily total precipitation (P) and mean flow (Q) values were using time lagged, 8 different Rainfall-Runoff models created runoff value estimated for future. The have been tried with methods performances compared process. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, Neural Networks (ANN), Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) Heuristic Re...

As one of the most promising kinds of the renewable energy power, wind power has developed rapidly in recent years. However, wind power has the characteristics of intermittency and volatility, so its penetration into electric power systems brings challenges for their safe and stable operation, therefore making accurate wind power forecasting increasingly important, which is also a challenging t...
