Zvýšená cévní tuhost je nezávislý rizikový prediktor kardiovaskulárních onemocnění. Měření tohoto paramet- ru v klinické praxi současnosti zaujímá kontroverzní místo. Autoři článku poskytují přehled dosavadních metod, kterými můžeme tuhost, ale i další hemodynamické parametry, jako centrální aortální tlak a augmentační index, neinvazivně měřit. Článek...

This paper presents a new sensor placement methodology for effective fault diagnosis in an N-2-1 locating scheme used in compliant sheet metal assembly processes. The proposed approach is based on the effective independence (EfI) sensor placement method. The EfI method is a computational algorithm that starts with all feasible sensor locations and reaches the desired number of locations, by pro...

This paper proposes an optimal allocation of phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement model under controlled islanding of power system such that the power network remains observable under controlled islanding condition in addition to normal operation condition. The optimization objective of proposed model is to reduce the number of installed PMUs by using hybrid optimization algorithm. The objec...

DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. INSTRUMENT Descriptive statistics. SETTING 4 main regional hospitals in the North West of England, and additional NHS staff training events. PARTICIPANTS Conveni...

This report describes a fully automatic placement tool for PCBs (printed circuit boards), nap (nonhierarchical automatic placement) that combines approaches from several different placement heuristics developed both for PCB and VLSI chip placement. Although the problem of placement for a PCB can be abstractly cast into the same formalism as the problem of VLSI cell placement, a practical tool m...
