It is plausible to assume that the component waves in ECG signals constitute a unique human characteristic because morphology and amplitudes of recorded beats are governed by multiple individual factors. According to the best of our knowledge, the issue of automatically classifying different ’identities’ of QRS morphology has not been explored within the literature. This work proposes five alternative mathematical models for representing different QRS morphologies providing the extraction of a set ...

The visual analysis of cardiotocographic examinations is a very subjective process. The accurate detection and segmentation of the fetal heart rate (FHR) features and their correlation with the uterine contractions in time allow a better diagnostic and the possibility of anticipation of many problems related to fetal distress. This paper presents a computerized diagnostic aid system based on digital signal processing techniques to detect and segment changes in the FHR and the uterine tone signals ...

This work presents a tribological evaluation of the influence of graphite and bronze fillers in two commercial composites in a dry sliding pin-on-disc test at the same contact severity (PVa parameter) and four testing conditions (varying both normal force and sliding velocity). Both fillers, in comparison to pure PTFE, significantly affected the coefficient of friction (COF) and the mass loss. The sliding distance required to reach steady-state for COF was statistically equal for all three materials. ...

A constant challenge in the automotive industry is to find ways to reduce the friction. Reductions in the weight of components can play this role, but for using smaller thickness in the engine blocks more resistant materials should be employed. The present investigation discusses the tribological performance of two cast irons used for manufacturing engine blocks, grey cast iron (GCI) grade FC250 and compacted graphite iron (CGI) grade GJV450, and the effect of two different thicknesses – 3.9 ( ± 0.6) and ...

Linear scratch tests were performed on polished surfaces extracted from different cylinder liners, manufactured in lamellar and compacted graphite irons. The effect of wall thickness was evaluated, by extracting samples from regions equivalent to two levels of thickness. Scratch geometry was analyzed using 3D interferometry, in terms of pile-up proportion and widths of tracks, and wear mechanisms were revealed under a scanning electron microscope. Overall friction coefficients could be related to ...

This study aimed to assess the relation between the insertion torque and implant stability quotient (ISQ recorded immediately and 6 months after implant placement).Twenty-five patients over the age of 18 years were selected for this study. One implant was placed per patient after tooth extraction. All implants had the same size (11.5 × 3.75 mm) and brand (Hexagonal Morse cone, DSP Biomedical). The insertion torque (Ncm) and resonance frequency analysis (ISQ value) (Osstell Mentor) were used to assess the ...

This work proposes the development of an integrated solution to monitor maternal and fetal signals for high-risk pregnancies based on IoT sensors, feature extraction based on data analytics, and an intelligent diagnostic aid system based on a 1-D convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier. The fetal heart rate and a group of maternal clinical indicators, such as the ...

The Neotropic region has high fish diversity associated with freshwater habitats. However, for Maranhão state, most publications on the ichthyofauna concentrate on coastal or estuarine ecosystems. In this study, species of fish were sampled in lentic and lotic habitats in Cerrado areas (Cerradão phytophysiognomy) and in restinga areas (Atlantic Forest phytophysiognomy) in northeastern Maranhão state between January and July 2010. Thirteen species from 10 families and 6 orders were captured. Species ...

In this tribometer, the normal force is provided by a deadweight system and the friction force is measured in a load cell. The kinetic friction coefficient model was developed, as the ratio between friction force and normal force, and demanded free body diagrams evaluation to identify how forces act ...

Oxidative stress, triggered by UV radiation, is one of the major causes of free radical-associated disorders, such as skin cancer. The application of natural compounds (NCs) with antioxidant effects can attenuate free radicals' accumulation and, therefore, provide a strategy for skin care and cancer prevention. In this work, three natural compounds, naringenin, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and kaempferol, were encapsulated into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) aiming for the development of ...

It is well established that helper T cell responses influence resistance or susceptibility to Mycobacterium leprae infection, but the role of more recently described helper T cell subsets in determining severity is less clear. To investigate the involvement of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of leprosy, we determined the immune profile with variant presentations of leprosy. Firstly, IL-17A, IFN-γ and IL-10 were evaluated in conjunction with CD4+ T cell staining by confocal microscopy of lesion biopsies ...

Methadone is used in the treatment of opioid addiction. Acute intoxication can lead to severe consequences and can even be lethal. In several case reports and small series, a presumably toxic leukoencephalopathy is described resulting from inhalation of heroin. We present the case of a 3-year-old boy who ingested methadone accidentally. In a coma with acute obstructive hydrocephalus owing to massive cerebellar edema and supratentorial lesions, he was successfully treated with methylprednisolone ...

Monitoring signals such as fetal heart rate (FHR) are important indicators of fetal well-being. Computer-assisted analysis of FHR patterns has been successfully used as a decision support tool. However, the absence of a gold standard for the building blocks decision-making in the systems design process impairs the development of new solutions. Here we propose a prognostic model based on advanced signal processing techniques and machine learning algorithms for the fetal state assessment within a comprehensive ...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS) have been reported to have memory enhancement effects in humans. A neuro-stimulatory action and an anti-cortisol mechanism of action may contribute to that relation. In order to study DHEA, DHEAS and cortisol relations to working memory and distraction, we recorded the electroencephalogram of 23 young women performing a discrimination (no working memory load) or 1-back (working memory load) task in an audio-visual oddball paradigm. ...
