In this study, we developed an electrical fire prevention system (ETEC-DPS) to prevent fires by detecting the current (Igr) generated from wires in real time. We aimed present evaluation of product verifying its safety. The printed circuit board (PCB) used inside ETEC-DPS was 90 mm wide and 55 long. PCB produced using a flame-retardant ABS resin. Three valid numbers were displayed for measureme...

Herein, physical reservoir computing with a redox‐based ion‐gating (redox‐IGR) comprising Li x WO 3 thin film and lithium‐ion conducting glass ceramic (LICGC) is demonstrated. The subject redox‐IGR successfully solves second‐order nonlinear dynamic equation by utilizing voltage pulse driven in channel to enable computing. Under the normal conditions, which only drain current ( I D ) used for st...

It is significant to assign reputation scores users and identify spammers in the bipartite rating networks. In this paper, we propose an Iterative Group-based Difference Ranking (IGDR) method, which based on original (IGR) method. The IGR method considers grouping behaviors, but it ignores characteristics of individual ratings. discovered that could also contribute redistribution users. user wi...

AIMS Although diabetes is known to be a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, as well as an independent predictor for adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), information on the prognosis of patients with CAD and newly diagnosed diabetes or impaired glucose regulation (IGR) is scarce. The objective of this study was to explore 1-year outcome in relation to differ...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of pioglitazone on endothelial dysfunction of subjects with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) among the first-degree relatives of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). SUBJECTS AND METHODS The first-degree relatives of T2DM patients were screened with oral glucose test and IGR was diagnosed. IGR subjects whose blood glucose was still above the level aft...

AIMS In chronic heart failure (CHF), changes in cardiac function define the course of the disease. The cardiac index (CI) is the most adequate indicator of cardiac function. Interpretation of serial CI measurements, however, requires knowledge of the biological variation of CI. Because measurements of CI can be confounded by the clinical situation or the method applied, biological variation mig...

BACKGROUND There is a clear relationship between depression and diabetes. However, the directionality of the relationship remains unclear and very little research has considered a multi-ethnic population. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression in a White-European (WE) and South-Asian (SA) population attending a community diabetes screening programme, and to explore ...

To study the synaptic and spike responses of barrel cortex neurons as a function of cortical layer and stimulus intensity, we recorded intracellularly in vivo from barbiturate anesthetized rats while increasing the velocity-acceleration of the whisker deflection. Granular (Gr; layer 4) cells had the EPSP with the shortest peak and onset latency, whereas supragranular (SGr; layers 2-3) cells had...

The new transient IGR 16358−4726 was discovered on 2003 March 19 with INTEGRAL. We detected the source serendipitously during our 2003 March 24 observation of SGR 1627− 41 with the Chandra X-ray observatory at the 1.7×10 ergs s cm flux level (2−10 keV) with a very high absorption column (NH = 3.3 × 10 23 cm) and a hard power law spectrum of index 0.5(1). We discovered a very strong flux modulat...
