Bulk density

processed in batch, but it may also be run recursively. The method indirectly assumes constant position offsets from the INS position each time it is started. Point Mass Filter (PMF) PMF is a calculation that determines the position probability density function (PDF), as said by (N. Bergman, 1999). The point mass filter estimator the priori position distributions together with the error models of the depth measurements and the map to produce a posteriori probability…

Introduction: What is Coronary Heart Disease? With cardiovascular diseases being the number one cause of deaths around the world, understanding the diseases, their risks and possible preventative actions can help an individual protect himself from the diseases. The research presented in this paper will focus on providing knowledge about coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease, the most common of cardiovascular diseases, takes place when the coronary arteries become clogged with fatty…

question, what exactly is high cholesterol and what makes it so bad? Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, also known as LDL cholesterol is what many consider to be the “bad cholesterol”. This is due to the fact that LDLs bring fat to the bodies cell. This fat then sits in the cell where it can build up in the vessels and cause cardiovascular events that pose a threat to ones’ health. Whereas their counterpart, High-density Lipoprotein (HDL) is often seen as good. HDL cholesterol…

Implementation of Bayesian Method for basic pattern Classification Abstract: This document describes an example of basic pattern classification using the Bayesian method. Based on given two dimensional (2-D) training data for two classes, we created a classifier using discriminant function (which is the logarithmic version of Bayes formula) and used it to classify provided test data. We estimated the necessary statistical parameters, such as mean covariance and prior probabilities, from…

Below is a conversation between a 56 year old male and his doctor. The patients’ favorite activity is sitting on the couch watching sports while eating snacks. He tends to be sitting down a lot and does not participate in any physical exertion. Until today he was unaware of his cholesterol situation and how it can affect him. Doctor: Good Morning, How are you today? Patient: Good, I’m here today to get my bloodwork results. Doctor: Ok, Great. Let’s take a look. I see that we did a cholesterol…

Saturated fats (SFA), commonly found in animal fats that we consume, has been shown to increase one’s low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by inhibiting LDL receptor activity need for LDL uptake by cell (increasing in blood LDL) and increasing LDL production. This increase in LDL causes it to deposit in the walls of arteries forming plaques; therefore, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). By lowering the consumption of SFA, it decreases one’s risk of a cardiac event by…

The heart is a vital organ that controls blood flow to the entire body. Without the heart muscles, organs and all other body parts would die. The life choices a person makes can affect the health of their heart. For example, smoking, bad diet, sedentary lifestyle, and other choices can damage the heart in the long run. As a medical student this is an important topic of interest because it is found that, "Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and the cost to combat it…

Accepting criticism is not easy to do for anyone. We are taught at an early age that if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all. So when someone is criticizing you it is hard to consider it thoughtfully because it is usually considered something bad. This is not always the case, it is healthy to receive constructive criticism about ourselves and it is how we grow as individuals. Everyone is not perfect and it is okay to realize that we all have faults and I have…

the patient’s age and lack of risk factors, she does not need the following screenings: sexually transmitted disease screenings, colorectal cancer screening, breast cancer screening with mammography, and osteoporosis screening with a bone mineral density test. From these screening recommendations, she does not need another pap smear for another 2 years. She was screened for diabetes, obesity, immunization deficits, depression, domestic violence, and the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit…

Α = tan-1 h/r b) Bulk Density 30gms of material was passed through a sieve no. 25 to break up agglomerates and introduced into a dry 100ml cylinder. Without compacting, the powder was carefully leveled and the unsettled apparent volume, Vo, was read. The bulk density was calculated, in grams per ml, using the formula (Shah et al., 1997). Bulk density = (M) / (VO) Where, M = Total mass of the…
