BACKGROUND Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain condition with indefinite cure, predominantly affecting post-menopausal women. The aim of this study was to systematically review the efficacy of low level laser therapy in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). METHODS PubMed, Embase and Scopus were searched from date of inception till and including October 2016 using various ...

Importance measures are widely used in reliability engineering. To support system reliability optimization, this paper studies the relationship and changing characteristics of the Birnbaum importance measures (BMs) for different components in binary coherent systems. First, the probabilistic meaning of BM and a modeling method for binary coherent system based on Bayesian network (BN) are presen...

A new concept of a high-voltage switchgear on-line monitoring system (BMS Bay Monitoring System) is described. Main features and benefits of BMS are simple ethernet-based communication which means simple LAN connectivity with other systems in a switchgear, reliable data collection, reliable controller operation, reliable power supply, quick access to data and a quick and simple retrieval of sto...

The majority of automobile manufacturers currently create electrical vehicles for both two- and four- wheelers. Thus battery becomes essential component improving methods calculating a vehicle’s charge capacity. It is required to develop an efficient Battery management system so that they should not be over charged or deeply discharged. Electric vehicle accurate state estimation reduce the risk...

performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (vce) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. in most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, vce is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of vce. in the present work, the effect of vce on two existing...

Non-renewable resources decreased significantly over the past decade, whereasthe current renewable energy system is expensive and more focused on large-scale use. The goal of this project to design a user-friendly pico-hydro with Smart Energy Storage Battery Management System (SES-BMS) utilize potential domestic water flow while saving consumption daily costs. overall combination between standa...

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common tumour in females and as a result, the management of such patients is a major public health issue. A high percentage of BC patients develop bone metastases (BMs), occasionally even several years following the initial diagnosis. BMs are responsible for high morbidity and a reduced quality of life with the onset of various clinical complications defined as sk...

A series of bridge collapse take place in recent years, which cause people to pay more attention to bridge health monitoring and early warning. An intelligent health monitoring system for bridges is proposed after analyzing the functions and characteristics of the current bridge health monitoring system. The paper first introduce main functions of system and key technologies, then mainly introd...

As the battery provides entire propulsion power in electric vehicles (EVs), utmost importance should be ascribed to management system (BMS) which controls all activities associated with battery. This review article seeks provide readers an overview of prominent BMS subsystems and their influence on vehicle performance, along architectures. Moreover, it collates many recent research critically r...
