Passenger car fuel economy: Insights from big data analytics
Abstract: The increasing availability of real-world vehicle telematics through On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) systems has enabled data-driven evaluation of passenger car fuel economy beyond conventional laboratory-based test cycles. While standardized certification procedures ensure repeatability, they often fail to capture the influence of real-world traffic conditions, driver behaviour, and transient vehicle operation. This study presents a structured Big Data Analytics (BDA) approach for analysing high-frequency OBD-II data collected from a gasoline passenger …

Systolic-Predominant Hypertension and the Aging Heart: A Cross-Sectional Study on LVH and Cardiovascular Riskss
Abstract: Background: Systolic-predominant hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg with diastolic pressure <90 mm Hg, is the most prevalent form of hypertension in the elderly. It arises primarily due to age-related arterial stiffening and baroreceptor dysfunction. Once considered a benign outcome of aging, systolic-predominant hypertension is now recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aim and Objective: To evaluate the cardiac status and …
