The effects of starting powder composition and grain size on their mechanical properties were investigated. The microstructure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that the coating with 10% HA has the best mechanical properties. Based on Rietveld refinement method, the mean grain size of the as-received powder (212 nm) extensively decreases to 66.4 nm after 20 h of high-energy ball milling. In spite of grain growth, the deposited coatings maintain their nanostructures with the mean grain size of 112 nm. SEM images show that there is a lower porosity in the coating with a higher HA content. Optical microscopy images show that uniform thickness is obtained for all the coatings.展开更多

Intelligent com-puting tools such as artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic approaches are demon-strated to be competent when applied individu-ally to a variety of problems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in combining both of these approaches, and as a result, adaptive neural fuzzy filters (ANFF) [1] have been evolved. This study presents a comparative study of the classification accuracy of ECG signals using (MLP) with back propagation training algorithm, and a new adaptive neural fuzzy filter architec-ture (ANFF) for early diagnosis of ECG ar-rhythmia. ANFF is inherently a feed forward multilayered connectionist network which can learn by itself according to numerical training data or expert knowledge represented by fuzzy if-then rules [1]. In this paper we used an adap-tive neural fuzzy filter as an ECG beat classifier. We combined 3 famous wavelet transforms and used them mid 4 the order AR model coefficient as features. Our results suggest that a new proposed classifier (ANFF) with these features can generalize better than ordinary MLP archi-tecture and also learn better and faster. The results of proposed method show high accu-racy in ECG beat classification (97.6%) with 100% specificity and high sensitivity.展开更多

Under-standing the behavior and dynamics of billions of interconnected neurons from the brain signal requires knowledge of several signal- process-ing techniques, from the linear and non-linear domains. The analysis of EEG signals plays an important role in a wide range of applications, such as psychotropic drug research, sleep studies, seizure detection and hypnosis proc-essing. In this paper we accomplish to analyze and explore the nature of hypnosis in Right, Left, Back and Frontal hemisphere in 3 groups of hypnotizable subjects by means of Fuzzy Simi-larity Index method.展开更多
