Online System Prognostics with Ensemble Models and Evolving Clustering
An online evolving clustering (OEC) method equivalent to ensemble modeling is proposed to tackle prognostics problems of learning and the prediction Screen of remaining useful life (RUL).During the learning phase, OEC extracts predominant operating modes as multiple evolving clusters (EC).Each EC is associated with its own Weibull distribution-insp
Understanding barriers and facilitators to clinic attendance and medication adherence among adults with hypertensive urgency in Tanzania
Hypertensive urgency is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events and premature deaths.Lack of medication adherence is associated with poor health outcomes among patients with hypertensive urgency in resource-limited settings.To inform the development of tailored interventions to improve health outcomes in this population, this study aimed at u
Alveolar defects before and after surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE): a CBCT assessment
ABSTRACT Introduction: Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE) promote maxillary expansion in skeletally mature patients.This technique is effective; however, some side effects are still unknown.Objectives: evaluate the presence of alveolar defects (dehiscences and fenestrations) in patients submitted to the SARPE.The null hypothesis te
