Eliminating or reducing skill gaps in the job market is critical to putting people back work, unemployment rate, and increasing labor participation rate. A key element closing skills gap accurately identifying mismatch between expected by employers those possessed seekers. In this study, our goal was profile titles effectively quantifying relevance of skills. We started using a naive, frequency-based ranking approach, which resulted most generic ranked on top. then adapted number alternative...
The paper discusses context-free grammar (CFG) inference using genetic-programming with application to inducing grammars from programs written in simple domain-specific languages. Grammar-specific heuristic operators and non-random construction of the initial population are proposed achieve this task. Suitability approach is shown by small examples where underlying CFG's successfully inferred.
This study aims to assess the blood volume and heart rate (HR) responses during haemodialysis in fluid overloaded patients by a nonparametric nonlinear regression approach based on support vector machine (SVM). Relative (RBV) electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded from 23 haemodynamically stable renal failure regular haemodialysis. Modelling performed 18 (fluid removal of >2 L). SVM-based used obtain models RBV change with time as well percentage HR respect RBV. Mean squared error (MSE)...
This paper addresses a problem of cooperative formation control network self-deployed autonomous mobile sensors. We propose decentralized randomized algorithm for self-deployment sensor in an unknown bounded region with obstacles. Furthermore, we motion coordination law the sensors s so that they form desired geometric pattern on square grid from any initial position. In particular, consider shapes such as interiors circle, ellipse, rectangle and ring. There are no predefined leaders group...
Renal failure patients provide a good model of fluid overload with the process hemodialysis leading to central hypovolemia. This study aims assess if induces identifiable changes in ear photoplethysmographic waveform variability (PPGV). The results are based on data collected from 10 kidney undergoing regular hemodialysis; classified as either removal or non-fluid patients. Six minutes continuous photoplethysmography (PPG) signals were recorded at pre-dialysis, end dialysis and intervals 20...
Pasteurella multocida causes fowl cholera (FC), a contagious bacterial disease of domestic and wild avian species. It is Gram negative coccobacilli causing acute highly fatal septicemia with high morbidity mortality rate. Control primarily performed by good management practice vaccination in areas where endemic. For quality vaccine, density growth P. along its capsule outer membrane protein (OMP) necessary. In the present study, physiochemical factors (growth medium, temperature, pH,...
Fluid removal during hemodialysis leads to relative hypovolemia that may cause hemodynamic instability in end-stage renal failure patients. To maintain the stability of patients, this paper proposes a linear parameter-varying (LPV) system based model predictive control (MPC) approach regulate variables hemodialysis. The uses ultrafiltration rate (UFR) as input and tracks changes blood volume (RBV) percentage change heart (ΔHR(%)) while maintaining UFR well systolic pressure (ΔSBP(%)) within...
Fluid removal during hemodialysis results in relative hypovolemia which the stability of patient rely on compensatory mechanisms as well profile system parameters. To ensure hemodynamic a novel control methodology is proposed to continuously adjust ultrafiltration rate (UFR) order regulate changes blood volume (RBV) and percentage change heart (¿HR(%)) hemodialysis. Model predictive (MPC) based approach has been utilized account for variability explicitly handle constraints input. model RBV...
To determine the difference in marginal accuracy at buccal, lingual, mesial and distal margins of temporary crowns fabricated with bisacryl-based crown material.The in-vitro, experimental, laboratory-based study was conducted Aga Khan University, Karachi, from September to December 2019, comprised two material, Integrity Protemp 4, which were used fabricate a sample 24 crowns. A pre-operative polyvinyl siloxane impression served as template for fabrication. right mandibular molar tooth on...
In the rapidly evolving healthcare industry, platforms now have access to not only traditional medical records, but also diverse data sets encompassing various patient interactions, such as those from web portals. To address this rich diversity of data, we introduce WellFactor: a method that derives profiles by integrating information these sources. Central our approach is utilization constrained low-rank approximation. WellFactor optimized handle sparsity often inherent in data. Moreover,...
For dentists who were trained without computers and planning software, the introduction of any sort digital technology can be met with reservation. Clinicians had to weigh benefits a new technique versus cost time involved in making it an effective investment. In low- middle-income countries, guided implant surgery is still nascent state. The procedures that fall into this category merge patients' data, both clinical radiographic, better visualize guide access target site. Guided minimally...
To radiographically determine the mental foramen position, its distance to nearest apex and prevalence of anterior loop mandibular nerve using cone-beam computed tomography scans.The cross-sectional study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from January June 2020, comprised scans males or females Pakistani origin aged 15-65 years with intact dentition fully formed roots matured apex. The were analysed horizontal position classify it according Tebo Telford classification....
Periodontitis affects tooth supporting structures which results in loss. In order to restore these various regenerative surgical modalities have been proposed include mechanical and biologic approaches. The approaches shown limited success as opposed guided bone regeneration, enamel matrix derivatives, stem cells etc. Recent cell based scaffold tissue engineering. derived from periodontal ligaments, dental pulp alveolar periosteum develop into components of periodontium multiple animal...
