Smart manufacturing refers to optimization techniques that are implemented in production operations by utilizing advanced analytics approaches. With the widespread increase deploying industrial internet of things ( IIOT ) sensors processes, there is a progressive need for optimal and effective approaches data management. Embracing machine learning artificial intelligence take advantage can lead efficient intelligent automation. In this paper, we conduct comprehensive analysis based on...

The dextrose tolerance test is now being extensively employed as a diagnostic procedure. It most beneficially used in the differentiation of mild diabetes mellitus and renal diabetes. also used, believed to be value, many pathologic conditions, such encephalitis, malignant tumor, pituitary thyroid dysfunctions nephritis.1 Although it definitely established procedure, there some diversity opinion concerning what constitutes normal response oral administration dextrose.

Many changes, physiologic and biochemical, take place during menstruation. Women frequently describe subjective effects, such as general exhaustion, irritability generalized discomfort. A certain percentage of them, I believe an increasingly smaller percentage, experience no change in their state being, physical, mental or emotional. My purpose this paper is to draw attention a phenomenon that, up the present time, has received very little attention, judged by literature. refer edema that...

Here, we present experimental evidence of the direct piezoelectric effect in globular protein, lysozyme. Piezoelectric materials are employed many actuating and sensing applications because they can convert mechanical energy into electrical vice versa. Although originally studied inorganic materials, several biological including amino acids bone, also exhibit piezoelectricity. The exact mechanisms supporting piezoelectricity not known, nor is it known whether conforms strictly to criteria...

Most of the techniques involved in customer clustering and segmentation are based on conventional methods quantitative analysis or traditional data mining approaches such as K-Means algorithm. However, artificial neural networks (ANNs), evolutionary algorithms, fuzzy can be more efficient since they reveal nonlinear patterns. They also seem to robust coping with noise-related issues relevant noise handling operations. do not make any statistical distributional assumptions regarding nature...

This noted clinically and experimentally.

Summary We propose and fit a Bayesian model to infer palaeoclimate over several thousand years. The data that we use arise as ancient pollen counts taken from sediment cores together with radiocarbon dates which provide (uncertain) ages. When combined modern pollen–climate set, can calibrate into climate. normal–inverse Gaussian process prior the stochastic volatility of time, present novel modularized Markov chain Monte Chain algorithm enable fast computation. illustrate our approach...

Summary Background Previous studies support good intra‐ and interobserver agreements for endoscopic evaluation of various upper respiratory tract ( URT ) diseases in horses. However, these mainly assessed resting examination videos and/or focussed on a single abnormality.

Methods Resting n = 43 Thoroughbreds were retrospectively...

In a previous study<sup>1</sup>it has been shown that it is possible to change materially subject's tolerance for dextrose by the use of different types diet.

They instructed follow certain dietary outlines mentioned two days, and on third morning, fasting stomach, test run each subject with...
