RFID And RTLS Enhancement For Retained Surgical Instrument In The Body
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Retained surgical items (e.g., sponges, needles, and instruments) are classified as preventable medical errors that cost the United States about $17 to $29 billion each year and the most frequently reported sentinel events ...
Discriminating Parkinson's disease using functional connectivity and brain network analysis
(2016-05-10)
In this study, we explored the use of functional connectivity patterns in fMRI data to classify subjects on the basis of Parkinson's disease. We explore various brain networks and features. We partition our fMRI data in 5 ...
MATHEMATICAL OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION FOR A FLEET OF COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS
(2016-05-19)
