Daily operations and planning in a smart grid require day-ahead load forecasting of its customers. The accuracy load-forecasting models has significant impact on many decisions such as scheduling fuel purchases, system security assessment, economic generating capacity, for energy transactions. However, is challenging task due to dependence external factors meteorological exogenous variables. Furthermore, the existing enhance forecast by paying cost increased execution time. Aiming at...

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition and leadingcause of disability worldwide. Mulligan Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGs) aremanual therapy techniques aimed at reducing improving range motion (ROM), yettheir comparative effectiveness against other interventions remains underexplored.Objective: To evaluate the immediate short-term SNAGs onpain intensity, lumbar ROM, muscle thickness compared to McKenzie MechanicalDiagnosis Therapy (MDT)...

Automatic defect classification in photovoltaic (PV) modules is gaining significant attention due to the limited application of manual/visual inspection. However, automatic defects crystalline silicon solar cells a challenging task inhomogeneous intensity cell cracks and complex background. The present study carried out for PV electroluminescence images. Two machine learning approaches, features extraction-based support vector (SVM) convolutional neural network (CNN) are used...

The aim of this work was to out the mechanical stresses within transformer resulting from extreme short-circuit currents. forces and set up in windings as result exterior or interior short-circuits switching operations, are measured detail. A variety arrangements large power transformers described. Points at which mostly high take place concentric discussed Analytical FEM calculations for individual short circuit forces, axial radial have been discussed. then compared with actual...

The uncertainty in the output power of photovoltaic (PV) generation station due to variation meteorological parameters is serious concern. An accurate prediction a PV system helps better design and planning. present study carried out for generating by using Support Vector Machines. Two cases are considered prediction. Case-I deals with module such as Voc, Ish, Rs, Rsh, Imax, Vmax, Pmax, case-II PDC, PAC, efficiency. Historical data an installed capacity 10 MW weather information used input...

Abstract Background Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score questionnaire is a widely used tool for measuring short long-term patient-relevant outcomes following knee injury. KOOS neither translated nor examined psychometric properties before. Therefore, the aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt check in Urdu. Methodology The translation cultural adaptation performed according pre-defined guidelines. A total 117 participants (54 males 63 females) were recruited. had two...

The textile industry is a very labour intensive which mainly comprises of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).In developing countries, usually occupational health safety programs are focused on large-scale organisations. Across-sectional study evaluating ergonomics risk factors associated with task performing strategies has been carriedout at cutting sewing units garment organisation. A reliable direct observational riskassessment method Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was used to find...

Background: Anemia is a major public health problem in developing countries like India and especially seen among women of childbearing age, during pregnancy lactation. Nearly two-thirds pregnant one-half non-pregnant have anemia, which increases the risk maternal fetal mortality morbidity. Aims objectives: The study was designed to assess prevalence anemia report socio-demographic factors associated with pregnancy. Material & methods:This Cross sectional study. conducted Block Hajan,...

To determine intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of hand-held dynamometer for assessing isometric lumbar muscle strength in asymptomatic healthy population.It was a cross-sectional study conducted at the department physiotherapy, University Lahore Teaching Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from July 2020 to August through non probability-purposive sampling technique. Thirty subjects were tested thirty-degree flexion zero-degree extension positions. Two raters assessed flexor extensor muscles,...

OBJECTIVE: To find out the prevalence of low back pain among bankers Lahore, Pakistan.METHODS: This cross-sectional survey was conducted from April-September 2017 on 164 with age group 22-58 years working in different government and private banks Pakistan. Participants any accident, fracture tumor were excluded. Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire used. The interviewed asked to fill questionnaires. Statistical Analysis done by using SPSS version 21.RESULTS:...

Limited molecular studies have been documented with ACE gene polymorphism in OA and RA the major industrial city country. The current study aims to investigate prevalence of arthritis risks perform hospital based population. In this hospital-based study, we adopted 1000 subjects; 539 was suffering 461 local hospital. Based on filled questionnaire signed consent form, patients were involved study. Genotyping performed subjects. Our results indicated risk BMI smoking status both diseases. Most...

Identifying phase discontinuity locations is a necessary and complex step in the unwrapping process, it becomes more challenging when dealing with noisy wrapped maps that are produced through shearography or other speckle-based interferometry methods. Recently, task of identifying discontinuities has been formulated into two-class classification problem, where identified by neural network trained on plenty image patches taken from maps. A simple but efficient framework proposed for...
