In this paper, we employ a double threshold method in energy detector perform sensing, while fusion center cognitive network collects local decisions observational values users, then makes final decision determine whether absence or not. Simulation results will show that performance AWGN channels...

Abstract The dynamic spreading phenomenon of liquids is vital for both understanding wetting mechanisms and visual reaction time‐related applications. However, how to control accelerate the process still an enormous challenge. Here, a unique microchannel nanofiber array morphology enhanced rapid superspreading (RSS) effect on animals’ corneas with time (ST) 830 ms found, respective roles in RSS are explicitly demonstrated. Specifically, induced by in‐/out‐of‐plane nanocapillary forces among...

Due to the complexity of myocardial infarction (MI) waveform, most traditional automatic diagnosis models rarely detect it, while those able MI often require high computing and storage capacity, rendering them unsuitable for portable devices. Therefore, in order convenient real-time detection, it is essential design lightweight suitable resource-limited This paper proposes a novel multi-channel model (ML-Net), that provides new solution detection devices with limited resources. In ML-Net,...

By running applications and services closer to the user, edge processing provides many advantages, such as short response time reduced network traffic. Deep-learning based algorithms provide significantly better performances than traditional in fields but demand more resources, higher computational power memory. Hence, designing deep learning that are suitable for resource-constrained mobile devices is vital. In this paper, we build a lightweight neural network, termed LiteNet which uses...

The covariance index method, the idiosyncratic item response and machine learning method are three primary response-pattern-based (RPB) approaches to detect faking on personality tests. However, less is known about how their performance affected by different practical factors (e.g., scale length, training sample size, proportion of participants) when they perform optimally. In present study, we systematically compared RPB detection methods across conditions in empirical-data-based resampling...

Using data from the 2003 Ontario Student Drug Use Survey (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto), relationships between bullying smoking in adolescents were examined. A representative sample of 3314 grade 7-12 students was included analysis. Models adjusted confounders identified current literature. Multinomial logistic regression showed that smokers more likely to be bullies than nonsmokers (relative risk ratio = 2.3, p < .001); being a smoker not associated with victim or...

Body movement is one of the most important indicators sleep quality for elderly people living alone. crucial staging and can be combined with other indicators, such as breathing heart rate to monitor quality. Nevertheless, traditional monitoring methods are inconvenient may invade users' privacy. To solve these problems, we propose a contactless body recognition (CBMR) method via WiFi signals. First, CBMR uses commercial off-the-shelf devices collect channel state information (CSI) data...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution new Corneal Visualisation Scheimpflug Technology (Corvis ST) parameters in normal, Post-laser situ keratomileusis (LASIK), Post-LASIK keratectasia (KE) and keratoconus (KC) eyes, explore diagnostic ability these distinguishing KE from LASIK eyes. Twenty-three normal 23 eyes KC were recruited study. following Corvis ST measured: Max Inverse Radius, deformation amplitude (DA) Ratio [2 mm], Pachy Slope, DA [1 Ambrosio’s relational...

The suture retention strength of artificial vascular grafts is a key mechanical property that affects the function grafts. Different from conventional method testing strength, this study simulated actual suturing state scaffolds approximately and investigated effect graft type, wall thickness, number stitches on poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) P(LLA-CL) results showed tissue-engineered have excellent performance and, when thickness greater than 0.24 mm, will meet transplantation standard....

Free viewpoint video (FVV) offers compelling interactive experience by allowing users to switch any viewing angle at time. An FVV is composed of a large number camera-captured anchor views, with virtual views (not captured camera) rendered from their nearby anchors using techniques such as depth-image-based rendering (DIBR). We consider group wireless who may interact an independently switching views. study novel live streaming network where each user pulls subset the server via primary...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is one of the polymers extensively applied in biomedicine. However, application PTFE as a small-diameter vascular graft results thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia because immune response. Therefore, improving biocompatibility anticoagulant properties key to solving this problem. In study, hydroxyl group-rich surface was obtained by oxidizing benzoin-reduced membrane. Then, chondroitin sulfate (CS), an anticoagulant, grafted on hydroxylated membrane using...

As a part of maritime informatization, the whole river basin signal coverage radio network is importantly significant to data transmission between ship and shore. More specifically, on relatively complex Inland River, traditional propagation loss empirical formulas cannot fulfill demand due diverse application environment. Consequently, by focusing several typical inland regions' measurement analyzing commonly used models, corresponding optimization models are designed. Finally, comparison...

Abstract China is a populous country but lacks epidemiological data on keratoconus (KC). The present study aimed to investigate the clinical data, demographic and visual function (VF) of KC patients in Central China. A total 524 eyes 307 (217 bilateral 90 unilateral) from Henan Eye Hospital were included current study. Demographic VF assessed with questionnaires administered by well-trained staff during face-to-face interviews. Visual acuity value was examined qualified optometrist, measured...
