Abstract Railway point machine (RPM) condition monitoring has attracted engineers’ attention for safe train operation and accident prevention. To realize the fast accurate fault diagnosis of RPMs, this paper proposes a method based on entropy measurement broad learning system (BLS). Firstly, modified multi-scale symbolic dynamic (MMSDE) module extracts characteristics from collected acoustic si...

Laminin trimers composed of alpha, beta, and gamma chains are major components of basal laminae (BLs) throughout the body. To date, three alpha chains (alpha1-3) have been shown to assemble into at least seven heterotrimers (called laminins 1-7). Genes encoding two additional alpha chains (alpha4 and alpha5) have been cloned, but little is known about their expression, and their protein product...

BACKGROUND Basic life support (BLS) guidelines focus on chest compressions with a minimal no-flow fraction (NFF), early defibrillation, and a short perishock pause. By using an automated external defibrillator (AED) lay persons are guided through the process of attaching electrodes and initiating defibrillation. It is unclear, however, to what extent the voice instructions given by the AED migh...

BACKGROUND Implementation of new guidelines into clinical practice is often incomplete. Direct mail is a simple way of providing information to physicians and may improve implementation of new guidelines on basic life support (BLS). The aim of this study was to describe knowledge of the most recent European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for BLS among general practitioners (GPs) and inv...

BACKGROUND Prehospital care is classified into ALS- (advanced life support) and BLS- (basic life support) levels according to the methods used. ALS-level prehospital care uses invasive methods, such as intravenous fluids, medications and intubation. However, the effectiveness of ALS care compared to BLS has been questionable. AIM The aim of this systematic review is to compare the effectivene...

BACKGROUND First responders are recommended as a supplement to the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in order to achieve early defibrillation. Practical and organisational aspects are essential when trying to implement new parts in the "Chain of Survival"; areas to address include minimizing dispatch time, ensuring efficient and quick communication, and choosing areas with appropriate driving di...

Objectives To describe learning outcomes of undergraduate nursing students following an online basic life support course (BLS). Methods An online BLS course was developed and administered to 94 nursing students. Pre- and post-tests were used to assess theoretical learning. Checklist simulations and feedback devices were used to assess the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills of the 62 s...

In an intelligent manufacturing context, the smooth operations of mechanical equipment in production process enterprises and timely fault diagnosis during have become increasingly important. However, effect traditional depends on feature extraction quality experts’ empirical knowledge, which is inefficient costly, cannot match needs manufacturing. The TSK fuzzy system has a strong approximation...

Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) caused by bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is one of the most prominent rice diseases. BLS causes a significant reduction in paddy yields. However, there are limited studies and lack information regarding mechanisms cells affected on tissues severed from this disease. Therefore, study, sensitive variety IR24 was inoculated against BLS, pathogen coloni...
