BACKGROUND: Bronchitis is considered a non-specific inflammation in the peripheral tissues of the trachea and bronchus. Many therapeutic schemes for chronic bronchitis have been reported in existing research.
The objective of this study is to build a fuzzy linguistic prediction model (FLPM) for analyzing the actuation duration of acute hyperglycemia to sinoatrial node field potential. The field potential was recorded using microelectrode arrays (MEA). The...
High compliant legs are essential for the efficient versatile locomotion and shock absorbency of humans. This study proposes a biped robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles to mimic human locomotion. On the basis of the musculoskeletal archite...
Aiming at the hand rehabilitation of stroke patients, a wearable hand exoskeleton with circuitous joint is proposed. The circuitous joint adopts the symmetric pinion and rack mechanism (SPRM) with the parallel mechanism. The exoskeleton finger is a s...
Muscular rigidity and atrophy caused by long-term underactivity usually lead to foot drop, strephenopodia, foot extorsion or some other complications for the lower limb movement disorders or lower limb surgery sufferers. The ankle-foot orthosis can h...
Applications of neural machine interfaces have received increased attention during the last decades. It is crucial to realize the continuous control of prosthetic devices based on biological signals. In order to deal with the highly nonlinear relatio...
A new rehabilitation robot was designed. The robot included a suspension mechanism, a drive unit, and an adjustment mechanism. Additionally, innovative weight loss mechanism increased the dynamical device so that it could be used with patients of var...
Microarray data has small samples and high dimension, and it contains a significant amount of irrelevant and redundant genes. This paper proposes a hybrid ensemble method based on double disturbance to improve classification performance. Firstly, ori...
Fuzzy clustering is an important tool for analyzing microarray data. A major problem in applying fuzzy clustering method to microarray gene expression data is the choice of parameters with cluster number and centers. This paper proposes a new approac...
To address the imbalanced classification problem emerging in Bioinformatics, a boundary movement-based extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm called BM-ELM was proposed. BM-ELM tries to firstly explore the prior information about data distribution ...
