In adults, glucose infusion results in a decreased glucose production rate (GPR) as a mechanism for maintaining euglycemia. To document the development of glucose homeostasis, we derived the GPR in 23 preterm appropriate for gestational age infants, 14 term appropriate for gestational age infants, and in 6 adults. After a 3-h fast, the average plasma glucose and insulin concentration was measur...

The induction motor (IM) drives are prone to various uncertainties, disturbances, and non-linear dynamics. A high-performance control system is essential in the outer loop guarantee accurate convergence of speed torque required value. Super-twisting sliding mode (ST-SMC) fractional-order calculus have been widely used enhance (SMC) performance for IM drives. This paper combines ST-SMC attribute...

In natural speech, for a given speaker, vocal tract length (VTL) is effectively fixed whereas glottal pulse rate (GPR) is varied to indicate prosodic distinctions. This suggests that VTL will be a more reliable cue for identifying a speaker than GPR. It also suggests that listeners will accept larger changes in GPR before perceiving speaker change. We measured the effect of GPR and VTL on the p...

A new recombination operator, called Gene Pool Recombination (GPR) is introduced. In GPR, the genes are randomly picked from the gene pool defined by the selected parents. The mathematical analysis of GPR is easier than for two-parent recombination (TPR) normally used in genetic algorithms. There are n difference equations for the marginal gene frequencies that describe the evolution of a popul...

A 30 m by 30 m two-dimensional grid was designed on a flat bench behind a quarry face of predominantly limestone with thin shale layers located at a Bonner Springs, Kansas site to test the utility of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for stratigraphic studies. GPR data were collected along seven lines parallel to the quarry face and seven lines perpendicular to the quarry face, each separated by 5...

We present the Temporal Investigation Method for Enregistered Record Sequences II (TIMERS II), which can be used to classify the relationship between a decision attribute and a number of condition attributes as instantaneous, causal, or acausal. In this paper we consider it possible to refer to both previous and next values of attributes in temporal rules, and thus enhance the definition of aca...

a bearingless induction machine has combined characteristics of induction motor and magnetic bearings. therefore, the advantages are small size and low-cost. in the magnetic suspension of the bearingless motors, suspension forces are generated based on the feedback signals of displacement sensors detecting the movement of the rotor shaft. the suspension forces are generated taking an advantage ...

It is critical for the safety monitoring of highway bridges that beam bridge damage can be identified from dynamic response passing vehicles. Numerical simulations vehicles were conducted utilizing vehicle–bridge coupling vibration theory and indirect measurement method. Fast Fourier transform was performed on time history vehicle acceleration, driving frequency component its instantaneous ampl...

In a statistical study of the decay of individual sunspots based on DPR data we find that the mean instantaneous area decay rate is related to the spot radius r and the maximal radius r0 as D = CD r/r0, CD = 32.0±0.26MSH/day. This implies that sunspots on the mean follow a parabolic decay law; the traditional linear decay law is excluded by the data. The validity of the Gnevyshev–Waldmeier rela...
