An improvement of the standard “particle filter” (PF) Monte Carlo Bayesian estimator is presented and compared with an existing improved reweighted filter in a target tracking example. The PF updates the probability density function (pdf) of the state, represented as the density of state samples (particles). Each particle is time-updated by applying to the state equation a sample from the forci...

Background & objectives: Work-related illnesses account for a large number of social problems. According to occupational therapists, occupational diseases are considered as life-threatening factors for workers. The aim of this study was to measure air pollution to suspended particles and to assess the health risk of PM2.5 and PM10 exposure in the textile industry. Methods: This analytical-cros...

The effects of lipolysis of human plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) on the structure and composition of high density lipoproteins (HDL) have been investigated. Lipolysis was performed in a controlled system in vitro containing VLDL (d less than 1.006 g/ml) and HDL3 (d = 1.125-1.210 g/ml) from human plasma and lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) purified from bovine milk. Lipolysis of VLDL...

  Abstract   Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been   highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense   LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by   arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density   lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...

     The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...

background: serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. investigators report decreased total cholesterol and hdl, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in iran. this study was done to evaluate t...

abstract probiotic products highly affect the health of consumers by reducing the risk of heart attacks and improving of desirable microflora in intestinal tract. in this study the effect of yogurt (500g/d for 3 wk) enriched with either bifidobacterium bifidum or lactobacillus acidophilus on the level of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl) and high density lipoprotein (hdl) of serum and ...

background: the association between the lipid profiles level and the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease (chd) is very pronounced in epidemiological studies, and an inverse relation between physical fitness and the incidence of coronary heart disease has been observed in many studies. the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a soccer match on lipid parameters of profe...
