Photonics and fracture toughness of heterogeneous composite materials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Fracture toughness measures the resistance of a material to fracture. This fundamental property is used in diverse engineering designs including mechanical, civil, materials, electronics and chemical engineering applications. ...
Electro-Optic Plasmonic Modulator with Direct Coupling to Silicon Waveguides
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
A novel plasmonic Mach-Zehnder interferometer is proposed with a nonlinear polymer. Orthogonal junction coupling between silicon and plasmonic waveguides is exploited to omit the need for tapers, and in turn, reduce the ...
Efficient ECG Compression and QRS Detection for E-Health Applications
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Current medical screening and diagnostic procedures have shifted toward recording longer electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, which have traditionally been processed on personal computers (PCs) with high-speed multi-core ...
Background-Foreground Modeling Based on Spatiotemporal Sparse Subspace Clustering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Background estimation and foreground segmentation are important steps in many high-level vision tasks. Many existing methods estimate background as a low-rank component and foreground as a sparse matrix without incorporating ...
Vanadium(V) complexes with hydrazides and their spectroscopic and biological properties
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
The present study explores the synthesis and inhibitory potential of vanadium(V) complexes of hydrazides (1c-12c) against oxidative enzymes including xanthine oxidase and lipoxygenase (LOX). In addition, non-enzymatic ...
Performance Comparison Between Fast Fourier Transform-Based Segmentation, Feature Selection, and Fault Identification Algorithm and Neural Network for the Condition Monitoring of Centrifugal Equipment
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper compares and evaluates the performance of two major feature selection and fault identification methods utilized for the condition monitoring (CM) of centrifugal equipment, namely fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based ...
Investigation of the morphology and properties of the polypropylene/low-density polyethylene/wood powder and the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene/low-density polyethylene/wood powder polymer blend composites
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The properties of polypropylene/low-density polyethylene and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene/low-density polyethylene blends, and their wood powder composites are compared in this study. The blends contained equal ...
Modeling and Parametric Study of the Reanchorage of Ruptured Tendons in Bonded Posttensioned Concrete
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The contribution of ruptured tendons to the residual strength of bonded posttensioned concrete structures is currently assessed based on pretensioned concrete bond models. However, this approach is inaccurate due to the ...
Prediction of infarction volume and infarction growth rate in acute ischemic stroke
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
The prediction of infarction volume after stroke onset depends on the shape of the growth dynamics of the infarction. To understand growth patterns that predict lesion volume changes, we studied currently available models ...
Trends of mortality attributable to child and maternal undernutrition, overweight/obesity and dietary risk factors of non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, 1990-2015: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2019 , Article)
Objective
To assess trends of mortality attributable to child and maternal undernutrition (CMU), overweight/obesity and dietary risks of non-communicable diseases (NCD) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using data from the ...
