This paper presents the implementation of a dual mode wavelet based R-wave detector for cardiac pacemakers. A previously published R-wave detector was developed for a noisy environment. This detector has been supplemented with a noise detector that operates in supervision mode, and automatically activates/deactivates 2/3 of the detector hardware without performance degradation. The noise detection

Global competition forces companies to constantly increase the efficiency in their production systems. One important factor affecting the production performance is the inbound materials handling system. When designing or relocating a manufacturing system, the cost of the material handling system is one of many things to take into consideration. In connection with on-going research a comprehensive

Beginning in 2002, the Department of Health (DoH) n partnership with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) began publishing guidelines for the evidenced-based care and treatment of individuals with specific psychiatric disorders. With few exceptions the first-line psychological treatment recommended in all of the guidelines was some form of CBT. The publications of these guidelines

Theever-increasing test data volume for core-based system-on-chip(SOC) integrated circuits is resulting in high test times andexcessive tester memory requirements. To reduce both test time andtest data volume, we propose a technique for test-architectureoptimization and test scheduling that is based on core-levelexpansion of compressed test patterns. For each wrapped embeddedcore and its decompres

Abstract in UndeterminedThe increasing effectiveness and efficiency of modern society is not only beneficial, but also liable for new or increased vulnerabilities. The seemingly ever-increasing complexity of modern society is in other words bringing new challenges for safety, security and sustainability. At the heart of these challenges lay an incremental increase in dependencies between sectors,

This article suggests an extension of the standard decomposition of the concentration index that allows for an exploration of the pathways through which socioeconomic background relates to income-related health inequality. This novel approach is contrasted to the standard one using a panel of Swedish women in Statistics Sweden’s Survey of Living Conditions for one vital health-related behavior, sm

Aim: The Driving to Learn project focused on people with profound cognitive disabilities and their possible achievements from practicing joystick-use in a powered wheelchair. The aim of this study within the project was to statistically analyse the participants' outcomes, and to explore factors, in terms of participant and training characteristics, associated with a favourable outcome of training

A numerical study has been carried out for slot jet impinging on flat and concave surfaces. Five turbulence models are employed for the predictions of these strongly strained turbulent flows, namely linear eddy viscosity model (LEVM), low-Re explicit algebraic Reynolds stress model (EASM) and three different V2F models. A bounded formulation for Cμ was also introduced to account for the better pre

A recent study of ours suggested that the very presence of a Teachable Agent (TA) from a mathematics learning game might affect students’ test performance when the TA reappeared in the margin of a regular, digital math test. We hypothesized that this effect, which seemed to particularly target low-achievers, was due to the students’ mindset changing from that of “taking a test” to that of “teachin

Drivkraften i denna studien har varit att utveckla en föreläsningsmetodik som skapar engagemang och utrymme för reflektion vilket är en förutsättning för lärande. Föreläsningstillfällena bygger på principerna för ett erfarenhetsbaserat lärande med visuellt stöd i form av filmvisning, bildspel, interaktiva övningar och bildbaserade åhörarkopior. Resultaten visar att föreläsningsmetodiken upplevdes

Desferrioxamine-B (DFOB) is a bacterial trihydroxamate siderophore and probably the most studied to date. However, the manner in which DFOB adsorbs at mineral surfaces and promotes dissolution is still under discussion. Here we investigated the adsorption and dissolution reactions in the goethite-DFOB system using both in situ infrared spectroscopic and quantitative analytical methods. Experiments

Pheromones are central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms, and reproductive isolation between closely related species is often achieved by subtle differences in pheromone composition. In insects and moths in particular, the use of structurally similar components in different blend ratios is usually sufficient to impede gene flow between taxa. To date, the genetic changes associated

Children born after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have an increased morbidity. The risk of developing cerebral palsy is nearly doubled and the risk of developing epilepsy is also higher. Behavioural problems including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder may be more common in children born following ART than among naturally conceived children but the finding is uncertain. Data on au
