Seismocardiogram (SCG) signals can play a crucial role in remote cardiac monitoring, capturing important events such as aortic valve opening (AO) and mitral valve closure (MC). However, existing SCG methods for detecting AO and MC typically rely on electrocardiogram (ECG) data. In this study, we propose an innovative approach to identify AO and MC events in SCG signals without the need for ECG information. Our method utilized a template bank, which consists of signal templates extracted from SCG waveforms of 5 healthy subjects. These templates represent characteristic features of a heart cycle. When analyzing new, unseen SCG signals from another group of 6 healthy subjects, we employ these templates to accurately detect cardiac cycles and subsequently pinpoint AO and MC events. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed template bank approach in achieving ECG-independent AO and MC detection, laying the groundwork for more convenient remote cardiovascular assessment.
Cytometry plays a crucial role in characterizing cell properties, but its restricted optical window (400-850 nm) limits the number of stained fluorophores that can be detected simultaneously and hampers the study and ...

Size-fractionated particulate matter(PM_(2.5)and PM>_(2.5))was collected at a traffic site in Kanazawa,Japan in a seasonal sampling work in *** polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(4-to 6-ring PAHs)were determined in fine and coarse *** gas/particle partitioning coefficients(K_(p))of the PAHs were calculated from the supercooled liquid vapour pressure and octanol-air partitioning coefficient based on the relationships obtained in previous traffic pollution-related *** PAHs were estimated by K_(p) and the concentrations of PM and particulate *** concentrations of total PAHs were 32.5,320.1 and 5646.2 pg/m^(3) in the PM>_(2.5),PM_(2.5) and gas phases,*** seasonal trends in PAHs were observed(particle phase:lowest in summer,gas phase:lowest in spring,particle and gas phase:lowest in spring).Compared to 2019,the total PAH concentrations(in particles)decreased in 2020,especially in spring and summer,which might be due to reduced traffic trips during the COVID-19 *** incremental lifetime cancer risk(ILCR)calculated from the toxic equivalent concentrations relative to benzo[a]pyrene(BaP_(eq))was lower than the acceptable limit issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency,indicating a low cancer risk in long-term exposure to current PAH *** is notable that gaseous PAHs considerably contributed to BaP_(eq) and ILCR(over 50%),which highlighted the significance of gaseous PAH monitoring for public health *** low-cost estimation method for gaseous PAHs can be expected to reliably and conveniently obtain PAH concentrations as a surrogate for traditional sampling in the future work.
