BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the oral carbohydrate solution administered preoperatively on thermoregulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 40 female patients under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group CONT (stopped oral implementation 8 h before the operation) and Group CHO (800ml oral carbohydrate fluid 8 h before the operation and 400ml ora...

This paper presents an experimental study for turning process in machining by using Takagi–Sugeno– Kang (TSK) fuzzy modeling to accomplish the integration of multi-sensor information and tool wear information. It generates fuzzy rules directly from the input–output data acquired from sensors, and provides high accuracy and high reliability of the tool wear prediction over a wide range of cuttin...

This paper presents a tool condition monitoring approach using Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy logic incorporating a subtractive clustering method. The experimental results show its effectiveness and satisfactory comparisons with several other artificial intelligence methods.

This paper presents a novel personal verification system with thermal facial patterns using fuzzy neural network techniques. In contrast to traditional biometrics, the use of thermal technology removes two concerns in existing verification systems; they are: 1) the hygiene issue for verification systems that require physical contact (e.g., fingerprints) and, 2) variation in ambient illumination...

Oscillators are an artefact of Electrical Technology. By and large oscillator designing can be viewed as a ‘Scientific Art’. Furthermore, the use of computer in the designing process of oscillator added the wings to it. FuzzyLogic-Computer-Aided-Design (FLCAD) using MATLAB FUZZY TOOLBOX amalgamates the ability of Fuzzy Logic to model colloquial propositions involved in the oscillator design. De...

Measuring skin temperature (TSK) provides important information about the complex thermal control system and could be interesting when carrying out studies about thermoregulation. The most common method to record TSK involves thermocouples at specific locations; however, the use of infrared thermal imaging (IRT) has increased. The two methods use different physical processes to measure TSK, and...

The thermoregulatory responses of menstruant women to exercise in dry heat (dry-bulb temperature/wet-bulb temperature = 48/25 degrees C) were evaluated at three times during the menstrual cycle: menstrual flow (MF), 3-5 days during midcycle including ovulation (OV), and in the middle of the luteal phase (LU). Serum concentrations of estradiol-17 beta (E2), progesterone (Pg), luteinizing hormone...

despite all attractions of social participation in most parts of the rural development, due to the lack of practical approaches, it has just remained an advertising slogan. one of the necessities of rural development is the execution of plans which enjoy maximum social acceptance. one of these plans is locating and equipping high-order service settlements. using an operative process including e...

The search for an animal model of systemic sclerosis (SSc) was tenaciously pursued by E.C. LeRoy. We studied several aspects of the tight skin mouse (Tsk) genetics and pathogenesis under his stimulating influence that contributed to a better understanding of the fibrotic scleroderma-like phenotype of this mouse. The identification of the fibrillin-1 mutation in the Tsk mouse and the characteriz...
