A New Method for Feedback on the Quality of Chest Compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves through the use of CPR feedback devices. Most feedback devices integrate the acceleration twice to estimate compression depth. However, they use additional sensors ...
Feedback on the Rate and Depth of Chest Compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using Only Accelerometers
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-01)
Background
Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is key to increase survival from cardiac arrest. Providing chest compressions with adequate rate and depth is difficult even for well-trained rescuers. The use ...
A Reliable Method for Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
nterruptions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compromise defibrillation success. However, CPR must be interrupted to analyze the rhythm because although current methods for rhythm analysis during CPR have high ...
Experimental Study of the Summation of Flicker Caused by Wind Turbines
(MDPI, 2019-06-22)
Integration of wind energy into the grid faces a great challenge regarding power quality. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-21 standard defines the electrical characteristics that need to be assessed ...
Application of Pitch Derived Parameters to Speech and Monophonic Singing Classification
(MDPI, 2019-08-01)
Speech and singing voice discrimination is an important task in the speech processing area given that each type of voice requires different information retrieval and signal processing techniques. This discrimination task ...
Flicker of Modern Lighting Technologies Due to Rapid Voltage Changes
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)
The purpose of the present paper is to evaluate the sensitivity of modern lighting technologies to different types of RVCs. In order to do that, 27 modern lampsmainly LEDhave been subjected to real RVCs and their response ...
Intelligibility and Listening Effort of Spanish Oesophageal Speech
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Communication is a huge challenge for oesophageal speakers, be it for interactions with fellow humans or with digital voice assistants. We aim to quantify these communication challenges (both human-human and human-machine ...
Modelling and Simulation of ERTMS for Current and Future Mobile Technologies
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015-11-23)
Nowadays, train control in-lab simulation tools play a crucial role in reducing extensive and expensive on-site railway testing activities. In this paper, we present our contribution in this arena by detailing the internals ...
Eurobalise-Train communication modelling to assess interferences in railway control signalling systems
(Macrothink Institute, 2016-05-10)
The evolution of the railway sector depends, to a great extent, on the deployment of advanced railway signalling systems. These signalling systems are based on communication architectures that must cope with complex ...
PAnalyzer: A software tool for protein inference in shotgun proteomics
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-05)
Background
Protein inference from peptide identifications in shotgun proteomics must deal with ambiguities that arise due to the presence of peptides shared between different proteins, which is common in higher eukaryotes. ...
