Background: Renal failure is a chronic disease getting more prevalent nowadays. Objectives: Since caring for the patients is expected to result in family functioning disorders, this study was done in Zanjan Province in 2019 to determine the extent of the hemodialysis patients’ family function. Methods: This is a descriptive study. 199 patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment were selected t...

In this paper, the integration of driving simulator and unmanned vehicle by means of new concept for better performance is suggested. But, autonomous navigation system is one of the most difficult research topics from the point of view of several constrains on mobility, speed of vehicle and lack of environmental information. In these day, however, many innovations on the vehicle provide the app...

This paper describes a simulation study of an Intersection Collision Warning System. For the study, an Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) Simulator has been developed. The IVC simulator is composed of vehicle traffic and wireless communication simulation modules . The simulator makes it possible to evaluate the vehicle collision issues that arise in the vicinity of an intersection and the impact...

background: patients with end stage renal disease have higher incidence of infection dis-eases that is thought to be related to impaired immune system. objective: to determine the antitetanus igg antibody level in iranian hemodialysis patients with end stage renal disease and to find its association with sex, age, blood hemoglobin, serum albumin, dura-tion of dialysis, time of dialysis per week...

The paper presents a Supervision, Control, Data Acquisition and Simulation (SCADA & Simulator) system that allows for real-time training in the actual operation of a modular PEM fuel cell system. This SCADA & Simulator system consists of a free software tool that operates in real time and simulates real situations like failures and breakdowns in the system. This developed SCADA & Simulator syst...

In the ubiquitous era, it is necessary to research the architectures of multiprocessor system with high performance and low power consumption. A simulator developed in high level language is useful because of its easily changeable system architecture including application specific instruction sets and functions. However, there is a problem in processing speed that both PCs and workstations prov...

Patients with acute kidney failure (AKF) and chronic kidney failure (CKF) require an appropriate vascular access for hemodialysis [1]. Vascular access is needed to allow blood flow through an extracorporeal circulation system with a blood pump connected to a hemodialysis monitor driving the blood through a dialysis filter (dialysator). Satisfactory levels of blood flow range between 300 and 400...

RATIONALE. With no effective clearance system for ammonia, levels increase rapidly, resulting in cerebral edema with severe neurologic compromise. Dialysis is the only means of rapid removal of ammonia from blood in acute neonatal hyperammonemia, and hemodialysis is preferred over peritoneal dialysis because it is much more effective. If hemodialysis is not available, hemofiltration can be used...

"Visual Field Record System" is aim to support participant's behavior analysis in distance education using interactive video teleconference system. An examination of the eye camera position is important to use the system effectively. Because the camera's angle and zoom rate is considered participant's behavior in this system. Actually, there are some problems that it originates in the camera po...

A hi-fidelity driving simulator with the 300 degree screen and an actual vehicle cabin on hexapod motion platform has been developed in order to measure driving behavior, including visual behavior, in town environment. For measuring the driving behavior, various driving parameters were recorded. The eye glancing direction was detected by combining the eyetracking system and the head-tracking sy...
