The aim of structural performance monitoring is to infer the state of a structure from measurements and thereby support decisions related to structural management. Complex structures may be equipped with hundreds of sensors that measure quantities such as temperature, acceleration and strain. However, meaningful interpretation of data collected from continuous monitoring remains a challenge. MP...

BACKGROUND Conservative surgical treatment has been the treatment of choice for early breast cancer. It allows feasible oncological treatment with a satisfactory cosmetic approach and fast recovery. However, in some cases mastectomy is necessary. This study proposes a surgical approach with only one surgical access through the same incision, which is in line with precepts mentioned abov...

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...

Due to slow time variation, variable run length and nonlinearity of sequencing batch reactor (SBR) wastewater treatment batch process, a multivariate statistical MPCA model based on double moving window along the time×variable axis and batch-axis is used for online monitoring the progress of sequencing batch reactor. Moving window MPCA along the time×variable axis can copy seamlessly with varia...

TV image is a subject of increasing interest due to the progress of the new technologies and fabrication of high resolution long range and fast microprocessors. A new technique for TV image tracking; advanced predicted window technique (APWT), is proposed. In this technique the tracking window is positioned at an advanced (predicted) position of the target moving center in a noisy background. I...

Linearity of values of rectified and integrated EMG signals with frequency of incidence of action potentials in muscle fibers and the effect of moving average window width on the range of values of integrated signals was tested on theoretical model. Our simulations of 4 overlapping single units multipotential signal demonstrated that integrated EMG signals are only approximately linearly propor...
