High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...
Purpose: Experimental studies showed that local capture of atrial fibrillation (AF) by rapid pacing was possible in humans. However, contradictory observations were reported on its effect at distant atrial sites. The present model-based study investigated ...
Hydrocephalus is a brain disease wherein the ventricles dilate and compress the parenchyma towards the skull. It is primarily characterized by the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow within the ventricular system. Normal pressure hydrocephalus ...
Purpose: Distinguishing persistent from permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) in a reliable way would improve AF patient management, as cardioversion options could be considered appropriately. In this study, complexity measures based on the combined analysis ...
This paper presents realization and the laboratory tests of the Kohonen winner takes all (WTA) neural network (NN) realized on microcontrollers (μC) with the AVR and ARM CortexM3 cores. Both μCs have been placed on a single testing board especially designe ...
We propose a new method for ventricular cancellation and atrial modelling in the ECG of patients suffering from atrial fibrillation. Our method is based on dictionary learning. It extends both the average beat subtraction and the sparse source separation a ...
