An experimental bifurcation diagram of a circuit implementing an approximation of the Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model is presented. Measured asymptotic time series of circuit voltages are automatically classified through an ad hoc algorithm. The resulting two-dimensional experimental bifurcation diagram evidences a good match with respect to the numerical results available for both the approximated and original HR model. Moreover, the experimentally obtained current-frequency curve is very similar to that of the original model. The obtained results are both a proof of concept of a quite general method developed in the last few years for the approximation and implementation of nonlinear dynamical systems and a first step towards the realisation in silica of HR neuron networks with tunable parameters.

Photo-stability of urine is of crucial importance for the applicability of fluorescence spectroscopy of urine samples for diagnosis of cancer. We report the results of a detailed study on fluorescence photo-bleaching of human urine samples. We also present the results of a preliminary investigation on evaluation of the applicability of photo-bleaching characteristics of urine for discriminating patients with oral cancer from healthy volunteers. The time-lapse fluorescence induced by continuous shining of 405 nm radiation from a diode laser was recorded from the urine samples obtained from 18 patients with oral cancer as well as from 22 healthy volunteers with history of no known major illness in the past two months. The integrated fluorescence intensity (Sigma I), calculated for each spectrum, was found to decrease with time till a point after which no further decrease was observed. Further, while significant differences were observed in the spectra of cancerous patients and healthy volunteers, these differences were found to be varying with time till the intensities of the observed fluorescence spectra corresponding to the two categories of urine samples became stable. The curve, generated by plotting Sigma I vs. time, was found to be best fitted (R-2 > 0.95) with a double-exponential decay function. The photo-bleaching constants, obtained from curve-fitting, were found to have statistically significant differences corresponding to the urine samples of cancerous patients and healthy volunteers. A classification algorithm developed based on nearest-mean classifier (NMC) and applied on the photo-bleaching constants in leave-one-subject-out cross-validation mode was found to provide a sensitivity and specificity of up to similar to 86% in discriminating the two categories of urine samples.

We relate proper isometry classes of maximal lattices in a totally definite quaternary quadratic space (V, q) with trivial discriminant to certain equivalence classes of ideals in the quaternion algebra representing the Clifford invariant of (V, q). This yields a good algorithm to enumerate a system of representatives of proper isometry classes of lattices in genera of maximal lattices in (V, q).

The quick diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and its clear-cut differentiation from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is of great clinical importance because treatment strategies for these two disease entities differ markedly. As these two lymphomas are difficult to distinguish using the current World Health Organization classification, we studied 39 cases of highly proliferative peripheral blastic B-cell lymphoma (HPBCL) to establish a practical differential-diagnostic algorithm. Characteristics set for BL were a typical morphology, a mature B-cell phenotype of CD10(+), Bcl-6(+) and Bcl-2(-) tumour cells, a proliferation rate of > 95%, and the presence of C-MYC rearrangements in the absence of t(14;18)(q32;q21). Altogether, these characteristics were found in only five of 39 cases, whereas the majority of tumours revealed mosaic features. We then followed a pragmatic stepwise approach for a classification algorithm that included the assessment of C-MYC status to stratify HPBCL into four predefined diagnostic categories (DC), namely DC I (5/39, 12.8%): 'classical BL', DC II (11/39, 28.2%): 'atypical BL', DC III (9/39, 23.1%): 'C-MYC+ DLBCL' and DC IV (14/39, 35.9%): 'C-MYC- HPBCL'. This proposal may serve as a robust and objective operational basis for therapeutic decisions for HPBCL within 1 week and is applicable to be evaluated for its prognostic relevance in clinical trials with uniformly treated patients.

This article presents a novel wireless power transmission scheme designed for moving loads. Specifically focused on compensating for the tilt misalignment of the receiver. By utilizing phase-shifted excitation signals from an array of transmitters, the proposed scheme effectively mitigates the impact of misalignment, locally. The application of this scheme holds particular relevance for studying the behavior of moving animals in cognitive research. The system incorporates a cage with two transmitter arrays positioned on the top and bottom sides. To smart determining the receiver's position, the proposed structure utilizes current feedback from the driving circuits and employs SVM (Support Vector Machine) classification algorithms for positioning. Furthermore, when the receiver coil is tilted, a phase shift mechanism significantly enhances the power delivered to the receiver. Additionally, the use of an overlapped transmitter array enhances rotation tolerance and improves the uniformity of the magnetic fields for moving objects. The performance of the proposed scheme is validated through extensive simulations and measurements using a fabricated prototype. Notably, the designed system achieves a power delivery of 296 mW to the load at a 90 degrees angular misalignment, compared to 1.67 mu W delivered by conventional array system.

Non-invasive electrocardiography (NI-ECG) has become an indispensable tool for monitoring fetal and neonatal cardiac activity throughout the stages of pregnancy and postpartum care. This review emphasizes the distinct advantages of NI-ECG, including extended monitoring capabilities and valuable insights into fetal and neonatal health. The exploration of textile electrodes is highlighted as a promising alternative, offering improved comfort and reduced skin irritation compared to traditional adhesive electrodes. However, challenges in NI-ECG persist, with electrode placement, quantity, and noise removal being key considerations. The review underscores the significance of addressing interference sources, such as maternal and fetal body signals, motion artifacts, and electrode-skin contact. Additionally, the discussion extends to computer-aided diagnostics, presenting novel approaches for classifying fetal and neonatal health during pregnancy and delivery. Ongoing research aims to optimize electrode placement, develop advanced noise reduction algorithms, and explore sophisticated classification methodologies. These advancements hold the potential to enhance electronic monitoring, enabling early detection of abnormalities and promoting improved outcomes in prenatal and neonatal care.

The rapid development of modern urban public transportation and people's demand for efficient transportation have made intelligent management of urban public transportation networks a hot research field. In view of this, a composite complex traffic network node classification algorithm model is established based on the shell decomposition algorithm combined with a cascading failure model. The final research findings denote that the classification refinement level of the comprehensive shell decomposition value is about 50% higher than that of the WK-shell decomposition value. The comprehensive shell decomposition algorithm, which integrates global and local influence factors, can almost achieve one shell decomposition value per node in classification. The number of layers with nodes below 30 in the actual transportation network dataset test accounts for about 98% of the total number under the improved comprehensive shell decomposition algorithm, and roughly 50% under the composite shell decomposition algorithm, indicating that the accuracy of the former algorithm is higher. When the relationship ratio in robustness testing is 1:1:1, the average comprehensive shell decomposition value is at a higher position, which is about 3% higher than the WK-shell decomposition value and about 5% higher than the traditional shell decomposition value. In addition, when the proportions are 5:1:1, 1:5:1, and 1:1:5, the failure points tested under the comprehensive shell decomposition value are still the most, indicating that the comprehensive shell decomposition value considers more factors, is more cautious, and is closer to the actual situation. Through experimental data, the proposed composite complex traffic network node classification algorithm model, which integrates improved shell decomposition algorithm and cascading failure model, has certain practicality and feasibility.

The variety of occupant behaviors in buildings have led to a significant mismatch between simulated building energy performance and measured one. It is crucial to collect real occupant behaviors in buildings to achieve accurate simulation purpose, although there exists a great challenge due to the cost of monitoring devices and privacy concerns. This study proposed an inexpensive and minimally intrusive method, to recognize behavior information from environment parameters by data mining approach. To validate this method, experiments were conducted in three bedrooms. Two types of classification algorithms were developed to recognize AC operations from the experiment data of indoor air temperature and relative humidity. Two types of recognition rules were generated from algorithm training in one dataset, and tested in the other datasets. Based on the testing results, the performance of the two algorithms were evaluated and compared. The results indicated that the C4.5 decision tree algorithm was not suitable for mining AC operations, while the curve description algorithm had good performance in processing the time-series curves of air temperature and relative humidity. Through this experiment, it is confirmed that AC operations can be recognized from indoor air temperature and relative humidity by data mining approach. The main contribution of this study is that a promising approach was developed, which is inexpensive and minimally intrusive on gathering and interpreting information about occupants' daily behaviors.
