Increasing interest is being shown in the use of microprocessor for protection, switching and data acquisition required in modern high voltage substations. One of the most difficult functions to fulfill is that of transmission line distance protection employing samples of the voltage and current waveform taken from high voltage transducer equipment at the usual relaying point. This paper examin...

To perceive, the brain must interpret stimulus-evoked neural activity. This is challenging: The stochastic nature of the neural response renders its interpretation inherently uncertain. Perception would be optimized if the brain used Bayesian inference to interpret inputs in light of expectations derived from experience. Bayesian inference would improve perception on average but cause illusions...

The article describes the impact of morphofunctional condition on sports results short-distance runners in order to show good and maintain their form for a long time. In high result, statement was even made about importance proper breathing athletes starting position when covering distance.

Tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) surgery is a common and minimally invasive procedure for pelvic organ prolapses. Since commercial kits are not readily available in Japan, we have planned tailor-made mesh by information of each patient before every TVM surgery. The aim of this report is to inform methods to design mesh for individual patients with pelvic organ prolapses. We also investigated the...

This article describes a bio-inspired method of identify the type of obstacles which could appear e.g. on the MAV’s (Micro Air Vehicles) way. The method is based on measurements made by a low-cost ultrasonic sensor. This kind of sensors are widely used for a distance measurement. The bio-inspired method used by ultrasound sensors uses echo of ultrasound signal to collect the knowledge about the...

The frequency of visits to Emergency Departments (ED) varies greatly between populations. This may reflect variation in patient behaviour, need, accessibility, and service configuration as well as the complex interactions between these factors. This study investigates the relationship between distance, socio-economic deprivation, and proximity to an alternative care setting (a Minor Injuries Un...
