coronary artery disease (cad) including myocardial infarction (mi) as its complication, is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide and also in iran, with extremely elevated mortality. cad is a multifactorial disorder. twin and family studies at different loci have demonstrated that genetic factors have an important role in the progression of cad. many studies have reported a significant...

This paper proposes a new model-based technique to automatically generate sequence control programs for mechatronics machines from design information. This technique solves one of the bottlenecks in developing mechatronics machines by reducing burdens of software development. In this technique, a sequence control progrmn is generated from a model of the design object represented in a mechanical...

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women all over the world. Since the cause of the disease remains unknown, early detection and diagnosis is the key for breast cancer control, and it can increase the success of treatment and save lives. Ultrasound imaging is one of the most frequently used diagnosis tools to detect and classify abnormalities of the breast. In order to elimi...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two extraoral computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, in comparison with conventional techniques, on the marginal fit of monolithic CAD/CAM lithium disilicate ceramic crowns. STUDY DESIGN This is an in vitro interventional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY The study was carried out at the...

This thesis considers the construction of a system to support the total design cycle for control systems. This encompasses modelling of the plant to be controlled, specification of the final ob­ jectives or performance, design of the required controllers and their implementation in hardware and software. The main contributions of this thesis are : its development of a model for CAD support for ...
