Scale development on consumer behavior toward counterfeit drugs in a developing country: A quantitative study exploiting the tools of an evolving paradigm
(2013 , Article)
Background: Although desperate need and drug counterfeiting are linked in developing countries, little research has been carried out to address this link, and there is a lack of proper tools and methodology. This study ...
Physicians' perceptions of medical representative visits in Yemen: A qualitative study
(2013 , Article)
Background: The pharmaceutical industry invests heavily in promotion, and it uses a variety of promotional strategies to influence physicians' prescribing decisions. Within this context, medical representatives (MRs) are ...
Fault detection and isolation of two-dimensional (2D) systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, we develop a novel fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for discrete-time two-dimensional (2D) systems that are represented by the Fornasini?Marchesini model II (FMII). This is accomplished by generalizing ...
Adaptive sliding mode observer for sensor fault diagnosis of an industrial gas turbine
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Sensors are one of the crucial components in gas turbines and the failure in sensor measurements can lead to serious problems in maintaining their safety and performance requirements. Our aim in this paper is to develop ...
Optimal control of midazolam infusion for post operative patients in intensive care units
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2015 , Article)
The critical task of anesthesia administration demands optimal drug titration by considering patient-specific features and sedation requirements. Though there exist several sedation assessment monitors, physicians still ...
Intervention in biological phenomena modeled by S-systems
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
Recent years have witnessed extensive research activity in modeling biological phenomena as well as in developing intervention strategies for such phenomena. S-systems, which offer a good compromise between accuracy and ...
Derivative-driven window-based regression method for gas turbine performance prognostics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The domination of gas turbines in the energy arena is facing many challenges from environmental regulations and the plethora of renewable energy sources. The gas turbine has to operate under demand-driven modes and its ...
Multiple-model sensor and components fault diagnosis in gas turbine engines using autoassociative neural networks
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper the problem of fault diagnosis in an aircraft jet engine is investigated by using an intelligent-based methodology. The proposed fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme is based on the multiple model ...
Nonlinear fault diagnosis of jet engines by using a multiple model-based approach
(
ASME
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, a nonlinear fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme that is based on the concept of multiple model approach is proposed for jet engines. A modular and a hierarchical architecture is proposed which enables ...
Transient gas turbine performance diagnostics through nonlinear adaptation of compressor and turbine maps
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Gas turbines are faced with new challenges of increasing flexibility in their operation while reducing their life cycle costs, leading to new research priorities and challenges. One of these challenges involves the ...
