SOPAVent (Simulation of Patients under Artificial Ventilation) is a blood gas model able to simulate patient ventilatory parameters subject to mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). In this paper, the SOPAVent model is further developed into a continuously updated model of patient ventilatory condition. The extended version of the model is used as the core component for a goal...

support vector regression (svr) is a learning method based on the support vector machine (svm) that can be used for curve fitting and function estimation. in this paper, the ability of the nu-svr to predict the catalytic activity of the fischer-tropsch (ft) reaction is evaluated and the result is compared with two other prediction techniques including: multilayer perceptron (mlp) and subtractiv...

Traditional mechanical ventilation is provided with either a constant volume or constant pressure breath. In recent years, dual-control (adaptive pressure control) has been introduced in an attempt to combine the attributes of volume ventilation (constant tidal volume and minute ventilation) with the attributes of pressure ventilation (rapid, variable flow and reduced work of breathing). Adapti...
