Reliable prognostic biomarkers are needed to support the early diagnosis of brain injury in extremely preterm infants, and to develop effective neuroprotective protocols that are tailored to the progressing phases of injury. Experimental and clinical...
This paper addresses the problem of designing an adaptive Kalman consensus filter (a-KCF) which embedded in multiple mobile agents that are distributed in a 2D domain. The role of such filters is to provide adaptive estimation of the states of a dyna...
In recent years, accessibility has become a topic of great interest on a global scale across the scientific, business, and policy sectors. There are two primary reasons for this growing trend. Firstly, accessibility serves as a vital indicator reflec...
To balance the information security and energy harvest for massive internet-of-things (IoT) devices, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–assisted secure communication model is proposed in this paper. We extend the secure transmission model with ph...
In this paper, a new optimization method for the design of nearly linear-phase two-dimensional infinite impulse (2D IIR) digital filters with a separable denominator is proposed. A design framework for 2D IIR digital filters is formulated as a nonlin...
Structural deterioration is a primary long-term concern resulting from material wear and tear, events, solicitations, and disasters that can progressively compromise the integrity of a cement-based structure until it suddenly collapses, becoming a po...
This paper presents a study of an automated system for identifying planktic foraminifera at the species level. The system uses a combination of deep learning methods, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to analyze digital images of for...
We present an algorithm for extracting basis functions from the chaotic Lorenz system along with timing and bit-sequence statistics. Previous work focused on modifying Lorenz waveforms and extracting the basis function of a single state variable. Imp...
This study investigates the use of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to extract intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) for the spectral analysis of EEG signals in healthy individuals and its possible biological interpretations. Unlike traditional EEG analy...
Experimental data from the SACLANTCEN 1993 Mediterranean Experiment are reviewed to assess the reduction of the search space for the localization and tracking of an acoustic source in a three-dimensional environment. Key to this goal is the availabil...
