Purpose. To thoroughly analyze corneal deformation responses curves obtained by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) testing in order to improve subclinical keratoconus detection. Methods. Observational case series of 87 control and 73 subclinical keratoconus eyes. Examination included corneal topography, tomography, and biomechanical testing with ORA. Factor analysis, logistic regression, and receiv...

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) requires the analysis of the non-linear response history of a structure for an ensemble of ground motions, each scaled to multiple levels of intensity and selected to cover the entire range of structural response. Recognizing that IDA of practical structures is computationally demanding, an approximate procedure based on the reduction of the number of ground m...

In this research the stress-strain curve of porous Titanium, as a common material for biomedical application, was predicted using the mechanical properties of fully solid Titanium experimental data. Modified Gurson model (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model) was used to predict the plastic response of porous Titanium in compaction. Different values of GTN parameters were used for different i...

Excessive immune response against pathogens may play an important role in refracory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP). The aim of this study was to elucidate the associations between cytokines and the prediction of RMPP in school-aged patients. Retrospective analysis was performed on school-aged children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) hospitalized in our hospital between Januar...

Power management in micro grid is very important term to understand to stable the load curve. For stability of load curve we have to manage the demand. For manage the load (demand) we use demand response. The first objective of work is proposing customer participation model for electricity consumption cycle, for better transparency between supply and demand. Another objective is to develop the ...
