Although intrinsic cardiac neurons display ongoing activity after chronic interruption of extrinsic autonomic inputs to the heart, the effects of decentralization on individual neurons remain unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of chronic (3-4 wk) surgical decentralization on intracellular properties of, and neurotransmission among, neurons contained within the can...

The paper deals with the robust PID controller design for performance for linear MIMO systems with state decentralized structure using output feedback. The proposed design procedure is a straightforward state space extension of the frequency domain Equivalent Subsystems Method (ESM) guaranteeing feasible performance achieved in equivalent subsystems for the full system.

This paper addresses the issue of perceptual image quality assessment in image restoration systems. Firstly, experiments are conducted to evaluate perceived quality in images degraded only by frequency distortion. Based on the resulting experimental data, a distortion quality measure (DQM) is proposed. Then another experiment, whose test images present frequency distortion and noise injection, ...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...

In this paper, a decentralized load frequency control (LFC) is proposed for the regulation of multi-area power systems applying optimized integral sliding mode (OISMC) scheme. A modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm utilised to optimize variables controller improving performance response. comprehensive model system developed where each area considered from conventional sources, ...

Image blurring process is commonly formulated as two-dimensional convolution between the latent image and the blurring system. Blind image restoration problem is to estimate the latent image only from the blurred image. Conventional blind image restoration techniques tend to solve this problem by estimating the blurring system and therefore their effectiveness are dependent to the accuracy of t...

This paper presents a frequency domain degraded image restoration practical method. We call it practical wiener filter. Using this filter, the value for K parameter of wiener filter is determined experimentally that is so difficult and time consuming. Furthermore, there is no any absolute remark to claim that the obtained images by restoration process are the best could be possible. In order to...

This is a review of techniques for digital restoration ofimages.Opticalandotheranalogprocessorsarenotdiscussed.Restoration is considered from the point of view of space-domain aswell as of spatial-frequency-domaindescriptions of images. Consid-eration is restricted to degradations arising fromnoise and spatiallyinvariantblurring.<l...

BACKGROUND The aim of endodontic and restorative dentistry is the conservation of natural tooth structure. Endodontically treated tooth (ETT) undergoes loss of tooth structure and changes in physical characteristics. Therefore, proper selection of restoration for ETT is mandatory. The clinical approach of restoring ETT needs taking into considerations several issues. However, the best way to re...
