Fuzzy Logic in neurosurgery: predicting poor outcomes after lumbar disk surgery in 501 consecutive patients
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
Background: Despite a lot of research into patient selection, a significant number of patients fail to benefit from surgery for symptomatic lumbar disk herniation. We have used Fuzzy Logic-based fuzzy inference system (FIS) ...
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2004 , Article)
Powdered cerium dioxide (ceria, CeO2) as compressed, sintered pellets, of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99 g cm−3, were treated in hydrogen flow at 1 atm and various temperatures to effect reduction. The electrical conductivity ...
Text Summarization Based on Conceptual Data Classification
(
IGI Global
, 2006 , Article)
In this article, we present an original approach for text summarization using conceptual data classification. We show how a given text can be summarized without losing meaningful knowledge and without using any semantic ...
The effect of gamma irradiation and shelf aging in air on the oxidation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
(
Elsevier
, 2006 , Article)
This study has investigated the effect of shelf aging, for up to one year in air, on the properties of gamma-irradiated ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). A variety of techniques were used to characterize ...
Identification of individual types of harmonic loads in an electric power system-bus
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Some buses in a power system feed power to loads that are sources of harmonics. This type of bus is called a complex-bus. This paper provides a new application of the constrained least absolute value algorithm (LAV) to ...
DPSM technique for ultrasonic field modelling near fluid–solid interface
(
Elsevier
, 2007 , Article)
Distributed point source method (DPSM) is gradually gaining popularity in the field of non-destructive evaluation (NDE). DPSM is a semi-analytical technique that can be used to calculate the ultrasonic fields produced by ...
The Gulf: A young sea in decline
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This review examines the substantial changes that have taken place in marine habitats and resources of the Gulf over the past decade. The habitats are especially interesting because of the naturally high levels of temperature ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
Highly accurate solutions of a laminar square duct flow in a transverse magnetic field with heat transfer using spectral method
(
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2005 , Article)
A liquid metal forced-convection fully developed laminar flow inside a square duct, whose surfaces are electrically insulated and subjected to a constant temperature in a transverse magnetic field, is solved numerically ...
Impact of MD5 authentication on routing traffic for the case of: EIGRP, RIPv2 and OSPF
(
Science Publications
, 2008 , Article)
Problem Statement: With the free flow of routing data and the high availability of computer resources, possible threats to the networks can result in loss of privacy and in malicious use of information or resources that ...
