Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent valvular heart diseases.Its quantitative assessment is challenging but crucial for treatment decisions.Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), we developed a reduced order model (ROM) describing the relationship between MR flow rates, transvalvular pressure differences, and the size and
Parameters Extraction of Photovoltaic Models Using Triple-Phase Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization
Parameters extraction of photovoltaic (PV) models is urgently desired for the simulation, control, and evaluation of PV systems.To accurately and reliably extract the parameters of different PV models, a triple-phase teaching-learning-based optimization (TPTLBO) is proposed in this paper.The novelty of TPTLBO lies in: i) teaching-learning-based opt
Minimum data set (MDS) based trauma registry, is the data adequate? An evidence-based study from Odisha, India
Background: In majority of the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the societal cost of injuries are alarming.The severity and magnitude of the road traffic injuries (RTI) in India are not estimated accurately due to the lack of availability of data.The data are limited on the aspects such as demographics, cause, severity of injury, processes
Three-Dimensional Fast Fixed-time Convergence Guidance Law With Impact Angle Constraint
In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) impact-angle-control guidance law is proposed based on the approaches of nonsingular terminal sliding mode control and fixed-time convergence theory to intercept a maneuvering target.The guidance law is derived based on the coupled 3D engagement dynamics.To intercept the target with an expected impact angle,
An Approach to Database Preference Queries Based on an Outranking Relation
In this paper, we describe an approach to database preference queries based on the notion of outranking, suited to the situation where preferences on different attributes are not commensurable.This model constitutes an alternative to the use of Pareto order whose main drawback is to leave many tuples Grow Lamps incomparable in general.Even though o
