The comparison of DNA sequences is a classic problem in molecular biology. Forensic applications uses this comparison for personal identication. For instance, in the USA, the CODIS system has today 14.9 million DNA proles stored on its database. To accelerate the recurrent task to query into similar databases, this work presents a hardware acderator for the parallel alignment of multiple DNA sequences,...
In this paper the multiplicative uncertainty in the linearized minimally parameterized parsimonious Wiener model for the neuromuscular blockade is quantified. A set of model parameters was identified from input-output data collected in the surgery room from a population of fifty patients undergoing general anesthesia. The nominal model was considered to be the average of the transfer functions over...
A self-calibrating total-mass controller for the neuromuscular blockade (NMB) based on the minimally parameterized parsimonious (MPP) Wiener model is presented. Using input-output data collected from the initial bolus administration until recovery, the parameters of the MPP model that are used for the controller design are chosen from a set of fifty realistic models for the effect of the muscle relaxant...
Medication errors have been identified as one of the most problematic issues in modern health-care systems. Patients are responsible for most of the intake mistakes. The most common are wrong medications (different that the ones prescribed) and administration of medications out of date, under or over doses due to erratic intakes. This paper presents SapoMed, a mobile health (m-Health) application...
A sampling frequency evaluation used in digital fault recorders for fault locations was implemented. A chained structure of artificial neural networks (ANN) was adopted to locate the faults. The ATP (Alternative Transient Program) software was used in the building of the database for training, testing and validation of the ANN, with different sampling frequencies. The input to the ANN are phase quantities...
The study of electricity markets operation has been gaining an increasing importance in last years, as result of the new challenges that the electricity markets restructuring produced. This restructuring increased the competitiveness of the market, but with it its complexity. The growing complexity and unpredictability of the market's evolution consequently increases the decision making difficulty...
