there are epidemiologic evidences suggested an increased carotid intima/media thickness (imt) as a predictor of cardiovascular disease events. the purpose of this study was to determine the differences of imt means in patients with positive and negative coronary angiographic findings. background: we conducted a case control study on patients with typical stable angina pectoris. the case group i...

voltage stability may be improved by various control functions. in this paper, it is shown that how high side voltage control (hivc) may be employed for this purpose. two test systems, namely a 22- bus and ieee u8-bus systems are used to demonstrate the proposed tuning strategy for hsvc control parameters.

a memory control for t-s fuzzy discrete-time systems with sto- chastic input delay is proposed in this paper. dierent from the common assumptions on the time delay in the existing literatures, it is assumed in this paper that the delays vary randomly and satisfy some probabilistic dis- tribution. a new state space model of the discrete-time t-s fuzzy system is derived by introducing some stocha...

A cognitive extension for a behavior-based control system for a six-legged robot is proposed that allows a robot to deal with novel situations. Following a minimal cognitive systems approach a biological inspired control system is extended towards a system capable of planning ahead which utilizes a functional internal model of its own body in mental simulation. While the body model is grounded ...
