Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is normally controlled by myogenic and metabolic mechanisms that can be impaired in different cerebrovascular conditions. Modeling the influences of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and arterial CO2 (PaCO2) on CBF is an …
In mining, rock classification plays a crucial role at different stages of the extraction process ranging from the design of the mine to mineral grading and plant control. In this paper we present a new method to improve rock classification using …
Background: The tactile sense is being used in a variety of applications involving tactile human-machine interfaces. In a significant number of publications the classical threshold concept plays a central role in modelling and explaining …
Each volcano has its own unique seismic activity. The aim of this work is to construct a system able to classify seismic signals for the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in South America. Since seismic signals are the result of …
A study is made of whether there is a significant statistical difference in performance between crisp and fuzzy rule-based classification. To do that, 12 datasets were chosen from the UCI repository that are widely used in the literature, and use was …
The aim of the present study was to develop a classifier able to discriminate between healthy controls and dyspeptic patients by analysis of their electrogastrograms. Fifty-six electrogastrograms were analyzed, corresponding to 42 dyspeptic patients …
AlterORF is a searchable database that contains information regarding alternate open reading frames (ORFs) for over 1.5 million genes in 481 prokaryotic genomes. The objective of the database is to provide a platform for improving genome annotation …
Measurement of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA), the transient response of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP), has been performed with an index of autoregulation (ARI), related to the parameters of a …
Stochastic resonance (SR) is the counterintuitive phenomenon in which noise enhances detection of sub-threshold stimuli. The SR psychophysical threshold theory establishes that the required amplitude to exceed the sensory threshold barrier can be …
DNA analysis by microarrays is a powerful tool that allows replication of the RNA of hundreds of thousands of genes at the same time, generating a large amount of data in multidimensional space that must be analyzed using informatics tools. Various …
