Microfluidic systems use networks of channels thinner than a human hair to manipulate nanoliter volumes of reagents. The goal of microfluidics is challenging: to integrate, on a chip smaller than a credit card, all operations normally performed in a chemical or medical laboratory. Synthesis, purification, analysis, and diagnostics would be performed by such a “lab on a chip” rapidly, economical...

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...

health databases contain a wide scope of clinical data to explore relationships and patterns that can lead to new medical knowledge.today, the emergence of integrated information systems and growth of information technologies have better highlighted the importance of such databases. data mining is among the technological advances toward data management whose integration with traditional methods...

Early warning systems are key components of strategies to reduce risk. This research, by adopting a systematic approach in the management of the risk of desertification and by including previously developed models and systems, offers an integrated efficient structure in terms of early warning for the risk of desertification as a pilot system for semi-arid areas of west Golestan Province in IRAN...
