It is well known that the Steffensen Computer Monitors and Aitken-Steffensen type methods are obtained from the chord method, using controlled nodes.The chord method is an interpolatory method, with two distinct nodes.Using this remark, the Steffensen and Aitken-Steffensen methods have been generalized using interpolatory methods obtained from the

This paper deals with a new control strategy for the programmable dynamometer to emulate dynamic loads.The main idea is to employ the disturbance-observer-based design and take the nominal model involved in the disturbance-observer design as the desired dynamics to be emulated.Compared to previous approaches, the proposed approach does not require

Rhino-cerebral mucormycosis is a rare fulminant fungal infection, that mostly occurs in individuals with committed immunity.The delay caused by late occurrence of cerebral manifestations led to poor prognosis.The treatment involves aggressive surgical therapy, with repeated debridement, in combination with intravenous anti-fungic therapy.We describ

The 21 st century has brought numerous changes to the clinical reading (i.e., image or virtual pathology slide interpretation) environment of pathologists and it will continue to change even more dramatically as information and communication technologies (ICTs) become more widespread in the integrated healthcare enterprise.The extent to which these

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer will cause a reduction in quality of life (QOL), high care burden, and even mortality.An assessment of QOL and associated factors in patients with diabetic foot ulcer is important to provide evidence for establishing a care plan program for such patients.However, up to the present, there is no evidence of a published
