Quantile Residual Lifetime Regression for Multivariate Failure Time Data Open
The quantile residual lifetime (QRL) regression is an attractive tool for assessing covariate effects on the distribution of residual life expectancy, which is often of interest in clinical studies. When the study subjects are exposed to m…
Body mass index, smoking behavior, and depression mediated the effects of schizophrenia on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: trans-ethnic Mendelian-randomization analysis Open
Background Previous studies have highlighted the association between schizophrenia (SCZ) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet the causal relationship remains unestablished. Methods Under the genome-wide significance thresh…
Upper Limb Position Matching After Stroke: Evidence for Bilateral Asymmetry in Precision but Not in Accuracy Open
Assessment and rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke have focused primarily on the contralesional arm. However, increasing evidence highlights functional sensorimotor alterations also in the ipsilesional arm. This study aims to eva…
Robotic Assisted Upper Limb Training Post Stroke: A Randomized Control Trial Using Combinatory Approach Toward Reducing Workforce Demands Open
Post stroke upper limb rehabilitation is a challenging problem with poor outcomes as 40% of survivors have functionally useless upper limbs. Robot-aided therapy (RAT) is a potential method to alleviate the effort of intensive, task-specifi…
Mixture Modelling for Medical and Health Sciences Open
Mixture Modelling for Medical and Health Sciences provides a direct connection between theoretical developments in mixture modelling and their applications in real world problems. The book describes the development of the most important co…
Work with me, not for me: Relationship between robotic assistance and performance in subacute and chronic stroke patients Open
Introduction Studies in robotic therapy which applied the performance enhancement approach report improvements in motor performance during training, though these improvements do not always transfer to motor learning. Objectives We postulat…
Simulation analysis of air cooling for vehicle power battery Open
Because of its high voltage, strong storage and circulation ability, no memory effect, high safety, low environmental pollution, Lithium ion batteries are the most widely used as power battery in the electric cars, but its heat dissipation…
Multiobjective Thermoeconomic Optimization of the LNG Cold Utilized Micro-Cogeneration System Open
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold utilization systems are feasible options for the inland and stranded regions where the conventional pipeline technology is challenging. For the best operation conditions of the systems in the real engineeri…
Multiobjective thermodynamic and environmental optimization of the small scale LNG cold utilization system Open
The present study aims to conduct multiobjective optimization investigations by using the genetic algorithm on the small scale and combined LNG cold utilized micro cogeneration system. The system combines the Stirling engine and the microt…
Proprioceptive assessment in clinical settings: Evaluation of joint position sense in upper limb post-stroke using a robotic manipulator Open
Proprioception is a critical component for motor functions and directly affects motor learning after neurological injuries. Conventional methods for its assessment are generally ordinal in nature and hence lack sensitivity. Robotic devices…
A Micro Cogeneration System with LNG Cold Utilization-part 2: Exergy Analyses Open
Exergy analyses provide to investigate the available work performance of thermal cycles. In this study, exergy analyses have been conducted for the conventional micro-cogeneration system and the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cold utilized mi…
Experimental Investigation of Particulate Matter Emissions from a Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Fuelled With Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel Open
Advanced biodiesel derived from waste cooking oil (WCO) is a promising diesel alternative because of its renewability and its less negative impact on food supply as compared to traditional biodiesels.WCO biodiesel can be catalytically prod…
Automated telephone communication systems for preventive healthcare and management of long-term conditions Open
ATCS interventions can change patients' health behaviours, improve clinical outcomes and increase healthcare uptake with positive effects in several important areas including immunisation, screening, appointment attendance, and adherence t…
Self-Paced Reaching after Stroke: A Quantitative Assessment of Longitudinal and Directional Sensitivity Using the H-Man Planar Robot for Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation Open
Technology aided measures offer a sensitive, accurate and time-efficient approach for the assessment of sensorimotor function after neurological insult compared to standard clinical assessments. This study investigated the sensitivity of r…
