the present paper aims at clarifying the role of the concept “walåyah” in the philosophy of the unity of being in islamic philosophy (waedat al-wujid). the concept “walåyah” is deeply built into the philosophic system of the islamic theory of being, and moreover the dynamic aspect of this concept has always activated islamic philosophy of existence and stimulated the thought of islamic philosop...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the impact of an automated decision support tool (DST) on clinicians' ability to identify glycemic abnormalities in structured self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) data and then make appropriate therapeutic changes based on the glycemic patterns observed. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study, 288 clinicians (39.6%...

in the present paper, the aeroelastic stability of helicopter rotor blade is determined using aeroelastic frequency response function. the aeroelastic model of blade is obtained by combining dowell - hodges beam model with loewy unsteady aerodynamic theory which considers an unsteady wake beneath the rotor. equations are formed and aeroelastic frequency response functions are obtained by invert...

In this study, forced-vibration analysis of a coupled system of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) subjected to the moving nano-particle is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory of orthotropic plate. Two SLGSs are coupled with elastic medium which is simulated by Pasternak and Visco-Pasternak models. Using Hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations of motion are derive...

BACKGROUND Patients with multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis may have phenotypic heterogeneity in results of drug-susceptibility tests (DSTs). However, the impact of this on clinical outcomes among patients treated for MDR tuberculosis is unknown. METHODS Phenotypic DST heterogeneity was defined as presence of at least 1 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate susceptible to rifampicin and ison...

thyristor-controlled series compensator (tcsc) is one of the electric power lines series compensators. tcsc increases transmission system capacity and improves system dynamic and voltage stability. several controllers have been proposed, but most of them generally improve one of tcsc capabilities. in this paper a tcsc robust controller is designed based on nonlinear quantitative feedback theory...

Words are often regarded as “slippery customers” (Labov, 1973). First, it is difficult to come up with a fixed content that seems to apply across all uses of a single word (Wittgensten, 1953). Second, the meaning of a word is subject to wider contextual constraints beyond the company it keeps with other words within a sentence. Third, the assumption that a word means a fixed thing is at odds wi...

This paper presents an element of Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to assist operators with the management traffic in orbit. The is based on a classification collision events using Dempster–Shaffer’s theory Evidence (DSt). DSt proposed capture and quantify epistemic uncertainty estimation Probability Collision (PC). By capturing calculation PC, we mitigate paradoxical Dilution that affects u...

The concept of sectorization of the transformed images for CBIR is an innovative idea. This paper introduces the concept of Wavelet generation for Discrete sine transform (DST).The sectorization of the DST transformed images and the DST wavelet transforms has been done into various sector sizes i.e.4,8,12, and 16. The transformation of the images is tried and tested threefold i.e. row wise tran...

Donor-specific allograft tolerance can be induced in the adult rat by pregraft donor-specific blood transfusion (DST). This tolerance appeared to be mediated by regulatory cells and to the production of the suppressive cytokine TGF-beta1. A potential immunoregulatory CD8+ clone bearing a Vbeta18-Dbeta1-Jbeta2.7 TCR gene rearrangement was previously identified in DST-treated recipients. To asses...
