The aim of this study is to create alternative approaches to predict human response to ground vibration. Site measurements were conducted in an urban quarry. The multiple discriminant analysis technique was used to develop classification models. The measured ground vibration values were grouped based on the limit values appearing in the literature....

There is a growing interest of researchers in meat authentication in terms of geographical and dietary background of animals, and several analytical methods have been proposed for the purpose of investigating this. We hypothesized that the odd- and branched-chain fatty acid (OBCFA) profile in intramuscular fat (IMF) might suffice to distinguish lam...

It is a common challenge for the surgeon to detect pathological tissues and determine the resection margin during a minimally invasive surgery. In this study, we present a drop-in sensor probe based on the electrical bioimpedance spectroscopic technology, which can be grasped by a laparoscopic forceps and controlled by the surgeon to inspect suspic...

Purpose Clinically there are not many clinical indicators to differentiate diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Data from laboratory inspections on admission of clinical patients were used to complete the relationship and discrimination analysis of the two diseases. Patients and Methods All subjects were taken from the De...

To prevent the contamination of the marine environment caused by ship exhaust gas, the demand for LNG (liquefied natural gas) fueled ships is increasing worldwide. A tank to store LNG at cryogenic temperatures is indispensable to such LNG-fueled ships. Since the materials used for LNG fuel propulsion tanks must have excellent mechanical properties ...

The discrimination improvement of an array of four highly sensitive 30 MHz gas quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors was performed and compared to a similar system based on a 12-MHz QCM. The sensing polymeric films were ethyl cellulose (EC), poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA), Apiezon L (ApL), and Apiezon T (ApT) and they were coated over the AT-c...

AbstractUnder consideration is a new version of the Discriminant Analysis that was created on the basis of the approaches of quantum computing. Unlike the Classical Discriminant Analysis, there are no a priori assumptions about the probabilistic distributions of empirical data as well as binding to geometric data representations, which are not alwa...

Reliable geographical identification can protect producers of excellent agroproducts, and also provide reliable purchasing information to satisfy consumers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the regional and monthly variation in fatty acid (FA) and tocopherol (TOC) in organic milk (OM) and develop a geographical discriminant model of OM in Ko...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce changes in vascular architecture. Although ultrasound metrics such as pulsatility index (PI) are sensitive to changes in hemodynamic resistance downstream from major arteries, these metrics depend on features unrelated to vessel architecture, such as blood pressure and heart rate. In contrast, input impedance...

Simple Summary Ecuador is considered a biodiversity reserve in which 951 native freshwater species of fish are recognized. Most of them have not been characterized and are endemic, inhabiting fragile ecosystems and presenting an endangered situation. In this work, chame was morphostructurally characterized; sex and production systems (cultured and ...
