(ikco), the largest iranian automotive manufacturer, implemented ems entire the company in 2...

BACKGROUND In Shenzhen, the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) system has been in service since 1997. This study aims to examine the operation of Shenzhen 120 EMS center and to identify the reasons of calling EMS. METHODS In this retrospective quantitative descriptive study, the data from the Shenzhen 120 EMS registry in 2011 were analyzed. RESULTS Shenzhen 120 EMS center is a communication co...

BACKGROUND Improving the organization of pre-hospital emergency to provide emergency medical services (EMS), as a part of health system, plays an important role in timely and properly response to incidents, as well as, reducing mortalities and disabilities. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine the organizational determinants of emergency medical services in Iran and analyze their r...

Under hilly road conditions, it is difficult to achieve near-optimal performance of energy management strategy (EMS) of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV). In order to achieve near-optimality, optimal state reference trajectory is predicted based on future information, and thus reference tracking controller is often considered as real-time predictive EMS. There are two approaches dependi...

Extensively interconnected power grid has been a long cherished dream of the power system engineers. Recently, the incredible publicity of smart grid has brought about a revolution in the way the power system's operation and control functions are planned. However, attempts to interconnect power system grids have consistently resulted in failures, like cascaded failures, often leading to bl...

Demand Response (DR) programs under the umbrella of Demand Side Management (DSM) tend to involve end users in optimizing their Power Consumption (PC) patterns and offer financial incentives to shift the load at “low-priced” hours. However, users have their own preferences of anticipating the amount of consumed electricity. While installing an Energy Management System (EMS), the user must be ass...
