Hysteresis Nonlinearity Identification Using New Preisach Model-Based Artificial Neural Network Approach by Mohammad Reza Zakerzadeh, Mohsen Firouzi, Hassan Sayyaadi, Saeed Bagheri Shouraki

“…Although Preisach model describes the main features of system with hysteresis behavior, due to its rigorous numerical nature, it is not convenient to use in real-time control applications. Here a novel neural network approach based on the Preisach model is addressed, provides accurate hysteresis nonlinearity modeling in comparison with the classical Preisach model and can be used for many applications such as hysteresis nonlinearity control and identification in SMA and Piezo actuators and performance evaluation in some physical systems such as magnetic materials. …”

Reliable Quantum Communications Based on Asymmetry in Distillation and Coding by Lorenzo Valentini, Rene Bodker Christensen, Petar Popovski, Marco Chiani

“…This is challenged by multiple nuisances, such as errors during the transmission over quantum links, but also due to degradation of the entanglement over time due to decoherence. The latter can be seen as a constraint on the latency of the quantum protocol, which brings the problem of quantum protocol design into the context of latency–reliability constraints. …”

Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Rivaroxaban versus Acenocoumarol in the Prevention of Stroke in Patients with Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Spain by Carlos Rubio-Terrés, Ruth Graefenhain de Codes, Darío Rubio-Rodríguez, Thomas Evers, Santiago Grau Cerrato

“…**Results:** Rivaroxaban treatment was associated with fewer ischemic strokes and systemic embolisms (0.289 vs. 0.300 events), intracranial bleeds (0.051 vs. 0.067), and myocardial infarctions (0.088 vs. 0.102) per patient compared with acenocoumarol. Over a lifetime time horizon, rivaroxaban led to a reduction of 0.041 life-threatening events per patient, and increases of 0.103 life-years and 0.155 quality-adjusted lifeyears (QALYs) versus acenocoumarol treatment. …”

Continuous Use of Combined Hormonal Contraceptive and the Effect on Blood Coagulation Factors in Female Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) by Rosângela C. Rodrigues, Flávia Schechtman Belham, Ana Garcia, Corina Satler, Carlos Tomaz, Maria Clotilde H. Tavares

“…The results showed that the contraceptive use provoked changes in hematological coagulation factors such as an increase in the amount of platelets (p=0.039) and a reduction in both prothrombin (p<0.001) and thromboplastin coagulation time (p<0.001). These results are similar to what has been observed in human patients; thus, it is concluded that S. libidinosus can be successfully used in studies about the physiological impact of hormonal contraceptives.…”
