We develop simultaneous approximate statistical prediction limits for a gamma-distributed random variable. Specifically, we develop an upper prediction limit (UPL) for p of m future samples at each of r locations, based on a previous sample of n measurements. A typical example is the environmental monitoring problem in which the distribution of an analyte of concern is typically non-Gaussian, s...

Current fault diagnosis concepts in structural health monitoring (SHM) are limited by the sole consideration of single sensor faults, which does not fully capture complexity real-world faults SHM systems. This paper presents an adaptive approach for systems that addresses multiple simultaneously. The approach, based on analytical redundancy, includes detection, isolation, and accommodation, has...

to determine the suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on the remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonging to the spring rangeland of the semirom-isfahan province were analyzed. during two years of monitoring the annual, grass, forb, and shrub vegetation cover and the total production data from 86 were collected. the global positioning...

We applied time-series methods to multivariate sentinel surveillance data recorded in Hong Kong during 1998-2007. Our study demonstrates that simultaneous monitoring of multiple streams of influenza surveillance data can improve the accuracy and timeliness of alerts compared with monitoring of aggregate data or of any single stream alone.

Introduction Pressure ulcers are tissue damages resulting from blood flow restriction, which occurs when the tissue is exposed to high pressure for a long period of time. These painful sores are common in patients and elderly, who spend extended periods of time in bed or wheelchair. In this study, a continuous pressure and temperature monitoring system was developed for pressure ulcer preventio...

For the first time, a multi-residue methodfor simultaneous determination of 41LC-amenable pesticides in rice, belonging to different chemical classes has been developed in Iran by LC-MS/MS. The pesticides were analyzed simultaneously in a single run using positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) after extraction with slightly modified QuEChERS method. The calibra...
