background: tissue injuries may provoke neuro-hormonal response which in turn may lead to release of inflammatory cytokines. we hypothesize that block of afferent sensory pathways by infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine in the scalp may decrease neuro-hormonal response in the neurosurgical patient. methods: after obtaining informed consent, forty asa physical statuses i, ii, or iii patients between...

the impact of air pollution and environmental issues on public health is one of the main topics studied in manycities around the world. ozone is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate. this study was conducted topredict and model ozone of yazd in the lower atmosphere by an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis). allthe data were extracted from 721 samples collected daily ove...

Abstract: The control of liquid level in tanks and flow between tanks is a basic problem in the process industries. Almost all theprocesses in the industries are non-linear in nature. Designing a controller for a nonlinear process is an important problem. The problem of level control in interacting tank processes are system dynamics and interacting characteristics. In interacting process, dynam...

Cerebral blood volume (CBV) can be measured using a C-arm flat detector angiographic system. The present report describes a case in which cerebral hyperperfusion was detected with the Neuro parenchymal blood volume (PBV) system (syngo Neuro PBV IR, Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany) during carotid artery stenting (CAS). An 89-year-old man was referred to our hospital for cerebral bra...

the functions employed in an estimation of costly measured soil properties from either widely available or more easily obtained basic soil properties are referred to as pedotransfer functions. to develop pedotransfer functions, one can use multivariate regression, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy models. to make a comparison among the mentioned models, 153 soil samples were collected from soils ...
