production of several yeast products occur in presence of mixtures of monosaccharides. to study effect of xylose and glucose mixtures with system aeration and nitrogen source as the other two operative variables on xylitol production by pichia guilliermondii, the present work was defined. artificial neural network (ann) strategy was used to athematically show interplay between these three contr...

In the implementation of lossless compression, the traditional Lempel-Ziv dictionary algorithm produces good compression performance, but at a relatively slow processing speed for use in real-time applications. This paper highlights a technique to speed up the overall compression process through introduction of a prediction pre-processor stage. A variety of predictors are applied to two variati...

Lempel-Ziv (LZ) is a popular lossless data compression algorithm that produces good compression performance, but suffers from relatively slow processing speed. This paper proposes an enhanced version of the Lempel-Ziv algorithm, through incorporation of a neural pre-processor in the popular predictor-encoder implementation. It is found that in addition to the known dramatic performance increase...

Telemetry and conventional cardiotocography were compared by monitoring the labor of 60 patients with an uneventful pregnancy and delivery in the 38th-42nd week of pregnancy. 31 patients were monitored by telemetry and 29 by cardiotocography. The patients were matched for age (+/- 5 years), duration of pregnancy (+/- 7 days) and parity (I or II). The husband attended labor and delivery in 42% o...

PURPOSE Outpatient ambulatory EEG may be followed by inpatient video telemetry EEG when investigating children for possible seizures and for classification of epilepsy. We investigated the value of ambulatory EEG and subsequent video telemetry recording in our centre. METHOD The departmental EEG database was interrogated retrospectively for children undergoing ambulatory recording followed by...

Implementing implantable sensors which are robust enough to maintain long term functionality inside the body remains a significant challenge. The ideal implantable sensing system is one which is simple and robust; free from batteries, telemetry, and complex electronics. We have developed an elementary implantable sensor for orthopaedic smart implants. The sensor requires no telemetry and no bat...
