This article presents a sensorless five level DTC control based on neural networks using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) applied to Double Star Induction Machine (DSIM). The application of the DTC control brings a very interesting solution to the problems of robustness and dynamics. However, this control has some drawbacks such as the uncontrolled of the switching frequency and the strong ripple t...

Cetuximab (Cetux)/Bevacizumab (Bev) treatments have shown considerably survival benefits for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in the last decade. But they are costly. Currently, no data is available on the health economic implications of testing for extended RAS wild-type (wt) prior to Cetux/Bev treatments of patients with mCRC. This paper aimed to evaluate the cost-effectivene...

Due to the rise of technology, the possibility of fraud in different areas such as banking has been increased. Credit card fraud is a crucial problem in banking and its danger is over increasing. This paper proposes an advanced data mining method, considering both feature selection and decision cost for accuracy enhancement of credit card fraud detection. After selecting the best and most effec...

In this paper, we formulate the optimal supervisory control problem (OSCP) under partial observation and propose an algorithm to design the optimal nonblocking supervisor (ONS). In addition, we introduce an extended net cost including the observation cost of the events which is taken into account for the cost of setting up a mechanism to sense the events and solve the OSCP with the extended net...

Task-switching procedures provides a means to study the interplay between goal-directedness and cognitive flexibility at a fine temporal grain. Most such procedures cue the current task perceptually on all trials, which means that processes related to this cue factor into behavioral measures on all trials. The extended-runs procedure discussed here makes it possible to isolate stimulus-related ...
