This paper deals with spatio-temporal field estimation with efficient sensor placement based on the QR decomposition. The proposed method also identifies the optimal number of sensors needed for field estimation that captures the most relevant featur...
Background: Reduction in QRS area after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is associated with improved long-term clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the reduction in QRS area is associated with hemodynamic improvem...
Short-term wind forecasting is critical for the dispatch, controllability and stability of a power grid. As a challenging but indispensable work, short-term wind forecasting has attracted considerable attention from researchers. In this paper, Princi...
Large-amplitude and long-term vibration deformation under external environmental loads often occurs on tensile membrane structures. Proper sensor placement plays a vital role in effectively achieving the objectives of a structural health monitoring s...
Background/Objectives: Biventricular pacing (BVP) to deliver cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a standard intervention for heart failure, yet suboptimal response remains common due to challenges in left ventricular (LV) lead placement. Left...
This paper investigates the problem of an optimal sensor placement for better shape deformation sensing of a new antenna structure with embedded or attached Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors. In this paper, the deformation shape of the antenna...
This study presents the development and evaluation of an Augmented Reality (AR)-based training system aimed at improving patient setup accuracy in radiation therapy. Leveraging Microsoft HoloLens 2, the system provides an immersive environment for me...
Background: Different electrocardiogram (ECG) findings are known to be independent predictors of clinical response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). It remains unknown how these findings influence very long-term prognosis. Methods and Resul...
Polyharmonic spline (PHS) radial basis functions (RBFs) have been used in conjunction with polynomials to create RBF finite-difference (RBF-FD) methods. In 2D, these methods are usually implemented with Cartesian nodes, hexagonal nodes, or most commo...
(1) Background: Limited data exist on the safety and efficacy of epicardial left ventricular (LV) lead placement using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). (2) Methods: Acute and post-discharge outc...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) reconstruction from contact photoplethysmogram (PPG) would be transformative for cardiac monitoring. We investigated the fundamental and practical feasibility of such reconstruction by first replicating pioneering work in the...
Inefficient material tracking continues to be a major challenge in sustainable construction, often leading to unnecessary waste, budget overruns, and project delays. While many digital tools have been introduced in recent years, there is still a lack...
Introduction: Cardiac resynchronisation therapy is ineffective in 30–40% of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Targeting non-scarred myocardium by selecting the site of latest mechanical activation using echocardiograph...
Micro-unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) used for tunnel inspection must hover near structural boundaries that can affect the combined vehicle–environment response. This paper presents an outcome-based physical method for screening tunnel co...
Background: Undergraduate nursing students (UNSs) often enter clinical training just as they are still mastering the emotional labor of the profession. In Nepal, where teaching hierarchies discourage upward dialogue and hospitals routinely struggle w...
