Ultrasonic P-Wave to Acquire Parameters of Boise Sandstone

Designing, validation, and reliability assessment of software to acquire kinematics parameters of motion by image processing

Motion analysis systems are useful and effective equipment in biomechanics research. Unfortunately these systems are available for few researchers because these are expensive equipment. The aim of this study was to design and validation of a practical and inexpensive software, to determine the exact markers position in space and compute the kinematic of movement. In designing the software, the ...

Effect of haemodialysis on signal-averaged electrocardiogram P-wave parameters.

BACKGROUND The P-wave signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) is a non-invasive technique considered to indicate an increased risk for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The study was designed to evaluate the effect of the haemodialysis (HD) process on SAECG parameters in the group of selected HD patients. METHODS Forty-seven HD patients (without relevant cardiac diseases) were included. SAECG...

Ultrasonic Lamb wave tomography

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of aerospace structures using traditional methods is a complex, time-consuming process critical to maintaining mission readiness and flight safety. Limited access to corrosion-prone structure and the restricted applicability of available NDE techniques for the detection of hidden corrosion or other damage often compound the challenge. In this paper we discuss our...

Ultrasonic Wave Interactions with Interfaces

Continuous wave ultrasonic Doppler tomography.

In continuous wave ultrasonic Doppler tomography (DT), the ultrasonic beam moves relative to the scanned object to acquire Doppler-shifted frequency spectra which correspond to cross-range projections of the scattering and reflecting structures within the object. The relative motion can be circular or linear. These data are then backprojected to reconstruct the two-dimensional image of the obje...
