aim: using short text messages (sms) is the easiest and cheapest method of healtheducation programs in order to increase women’s’ knowledge and early detection ofdiseases. this study was conducted in 2013 in order to compare the educational effect ofbreast self examination (bse) by two different methods of sms and lecturing in femalestudents who work and study in non- medical fields.method: in ...

Abstract During the last few decades, bed-elevation profiles from radar sounders have been used to quantify bed roughness. Various methods employed, such as ‘two-parameter’ technique that considers vertical and slope irregularities in topography, but they struggle incorporate roughness at multiple spatial scales leading a breakdown their depiction of where relief is most complex. In this articl...

Thermistors are very commonly used for narrow temperature-range high-resolution applications, such as in medicine, calorimetry, and near ambient temperature measurements. In particular, Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is very inexpensive and highly sensitive, whose sensing temperature range and sensitivity are highly limited due to the intrinsic nonlinearity and self-heating p...

The Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) LiDAR point cloud in autonomous vehicles has a large deflection range, which results slow registration speed and poor applicability. To maximize speed, an improved Normal Distribution Transform (NDT) method that integrates density features been proposed. First, the is reduced using modified voxel filter pass-through filter. Next, Intrinsic Shape Signat...

Rotating machineries often work under severe and variable operation conditions, which brings challenges to fault diagnosis. To deal with this challenge, this paper discusses the concept of adaptive diagnosis, which means to diagnose faults under variable operation conditions with self-adaptively and little prior knowledge or human intervention. To this end, a novel algorithm is proposed, inform...
