Diagnosing the Demonic
One of the most difficult tasks for a therapist is to determine whether a client’s difficulty is psychologically based or spiritually based. Scripture shows us that virtually any physical, psychological, or social symptoms might be attributed to demonic spirits. The enemy attacks on all possible fronts, which complicates the whole process of diagnosis. The most accurate diagnoses come not from looking only at symptoms, but at predictive life experiences. If the individual has opened certain doors there is an increased probability that demonic involvement is present. These include (1) generational curses, oaths, and soul ties, (2) occult involvement, (3) trauma or victimization, and (4) long-term ongoing sin. These create areas of spiritual vulnerability into which demonic spirits may move
Detection and Diagnosis of Motor Stator Faults using Electric Signals from Variable Speed Drives
Motor current signature analysis has been investigated widely for diagnosing faults of induction motors. However, most of these studies are based on open loop drives. This paper examines the performance of diagnosing motor stator faults under both open and closed loop operation modes. It examines the effectiveness of conventional diagnosis features in both motor current and voltage signals using spectrum analysis. Evaluation results show that the stator fault causes an increase in the sideband amplitude of motor current signature only when the motor is under the open loop control. However, the increase in sidebands can be observed in both the current and voltage signals under the sensorless control mode, showing that it is more promising in diagnosing the stator faults under the sensorless control operation
KBS for Diagnosing Pineapple Diseases
Abstract: Background: The pineapple (A nanas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries, also called pineapples, and the most economically significant plant in the Bromeliaceae family. Pineapples may be cultivated from a crown cutting of the fruit, possibly flowering in five to ten months and fruiting in the following six months.[5][6] Pineapples do not ripen significantly after harvest. In 2016, Costa Rica, Brazil, and the Philippines accounted for nearly one-third of the world's production of pineapples.[8] Pineapple damage is not taken quickly, it can lead to damage in the Pineapple. Objectives: The main goal of this expert system is to get the appropriate diagnosis of disease and the correct treatment. Methods: In this paper the design of the proposed Expert System which was produced to help Fruits Agricultural Specialist in diagnosing many of the Pineapple diseases such as : Phytophthora heart (top) rot, Base (butt) rot or Fruit let core rot (green eye, Pineapple Sprain, Turf Toe, Pineapple disease , Plantar Fasciitis, Warts, Bunion, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, Heel Spur, Athlete's Pineapple , The proposed expert system presents an overview about Pineapple diseases are given, the cause of diseases are outlined and the treatment of disease whenever possible is given out. CLIPS Expert System language was used for designing and implementing the proposed expert system. Results: The proposed Pineapple diseases diagnosis expert system was evaluated by Agricultural students and they were satisfied with its performance. Conclusions: The Proposed expert system is very useful for Fruits Agricultural Specialist, patients with Pineapple problem and newly graduated Agricultural Specialist
Diagnosing Deconfinement and Topological Order
Topological or deconfined phases are characterized by emergent, weakly
fluctuating, gauge fields. In condensed matter settings they inevitably come
coupled to excitations that carry the corresponding gauge charges which
invalidate the standard diagnostic of deconfinement---the Wilson loop. Inspired
by a mapping between symmetric sponges and the deconfined phase of the
gauge theory, we construct a diagnostic for deconfinement that has the
interpretation of a line tension. One operator version of this diagnostic turns
out to be the Fredenhagen-Marcu order parameter known to lattice gauge
theorists and we show that a different version is best suited to condensed
matter systems. We discuss generalizations of the diagnostic, use it to
establish the existence of finite temperature topological phases in
dimensions and show that multiplets of the diagnostic are useful in settings
with multiple phases such as gauge theories with charge matter.
[Additionally we present an exact reduction of the partition function of the
toric code in general dimensions to a well studied problem.]Comment: 11 pages, several figure
ANN for Diagnosing Hepatitis Virus
Abstract: This paper presents an artificial neural network based approach for the diagnosis of hepatitis virus. A number of factors that may possibly influence the performance of patients were outlined. Such factors as age, sex, Steroid, Antivirals, Fatigue, Malaise, Anorexia, Liver Big, Liver Firm Splean Palpable, Spiders, Ascites, Varices, Bilirubin, Alk Phosphate, SGOT, Albumin, Protine and Histology, were then used as input variables for the ANN model . Test data evaluation shows that the ANN model is able to correctly predict the diagnosis of more than 93% of prospective Patients
Diagnosing magnetars with transient cooling
Transient X-ray emission, with an approximate t^{-0.7} decay, was observed
from SGR 1900+14 over 40 days following the the giant flare of 27 Aug 1998. We
calculate in detail the diffusion of heat to the surface of a neutron star
through an intense 10^{14}-10^{15} G magnetic field, following the release of
magnetic energy in its outer layers. We show that the power law index, the
fraction of burst energy in the afterglow, and the return to persistent
emission can all be understood if the star is composed of normal baryonic
material.Comment: 9 pages, 1 eps figur
