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 …

Deep Learning for Real-Time Monitoring and Defect Detection in Additive Manufactured Polymer Composites
Abstract: Additives Fiber-reinforced polymer composite ADDs have high utility in making lightweight structural components, but due to process-related defects (interlayer delamination and reinforcement stacking) the integrity of consolidation during extrusion-based deposition is frequently compromised. This paper has presented a physics-informed deep learning framework that is applicable to real-time measurements of reinforced thermoplastic composite fabrication. Multimodal sensing was provided with thermal gradient, optical morphology, and acoustics emission signals being used to assess …

Reduction Of Total Electricity Generation Cost For Complicated Power Systems Considering Renewable Energy Sources By Using A Sea Horse Optimizer
Abstract: This paper focuses on solving the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem by incorporating the presence of wind and solar power plants alongside conventional thermal power plants (THs). Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Sea horse optimizer (SHO) are applied to solve the problem with the main objective function of minimizing the total electricity generation cost (TEGC). SHO is a novel meta-heuristic method recently proposed, while PSO is one of the classical …

P- and T-wave Characterization in the Presence of U-wave in Electrocardiogram
Abstract: AbstractEven after being noticed around a century ago the U-wave has not been studied much as compared to the other waveforms of the electrocardiogram (ECG). In this proposed work the effect of presence of U-wave on morphology of P-waves and T-waves has been studied. Characteristics of P-waves and T-waves from ECG beats with an U-wave has been compared with the P-waves and T-waves from ECG beat with an U-wave. Arithmetic …

Entropy Analysis Based Differential Evolution Approach for Emotion Classification for EEG
Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) signal processing is having its significance in various applications related to the emotion recognition and classification. The behavior monitoring, behavior class identification, emotion class identification are the major aspects for classification of EEG signal. In this paper, a feature adaptive differential evolution (DE) approach is defined to perform emotion classification. In this work, we used discrete wavelet transform (DWT), for extracting the statistical features from the EEG signal …

Principal Component Analysis Based Dominant Features Selection Method for Speaker Identification
Abstract: Cepstrum based features are mostly used in speaker identification. Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCCs) and their statistical properties (skewness, kurtosis and standard deviation) are used in this paper for text-dependent speaker identification. Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to select the dominant feature vector representing the speaker characteristics. Multi-layer neural network is used as the classification engine. There occurs the inter-speaker variation of speech length uttering the same word. The feature …

Method of Analysis for Chloride Distribution in Concrete from Torrent Data
Abstract: Design w/c ratio becomes less important than achieved cover performance in the case of existing structure. Therefore, inspection data of chloride profile from some real structures do not always obey the rule of Fick’s law, suggesting the influence of a new parameter. In this study, chloride ion profiles and behavior of penetrating water for normal, fly ash and slag concrete with w/c ratio as 40, 55, and 70%, respectively, cast …

Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis of Cover Quantity and Quality of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Abstract: Design procedures based on current specifications do not always ensure required service life, mostly due to the environmental effect, error at the time of construction and underestimated cover properties at the time of design. Moreover, single-point value of any property does not provide rational support to the decision maker. Statistical resampling technique for each of the cover properties used to find out the service life of the structures is thus …
