A method for extracting human gait series from accelerometer signals based on the ensemble empirical mode decomposition

In this paper,the ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD) is applied to analyse accelerometer signals collected during normal human walking.First,the self-adaptive feature of EEMD is utilised to decompose the accelerometer signals,thus sifting out several intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) at disparate scales.Then,gait series can be extracted through peak detection from the eigen IMF that best represents gait rhythmicity.Compared with the method based on the empirical mode decomposition(EMD),the EEMD-based method has the following advantages:it remarkably improves the detection rate of peak values hidden in the original accelerometer signal,even when the signal is severely contaminated by the intermittent noises;this method effectively prevents the phenomenon of mode mixing found in the process of EMD.And a reasonable selection of parameters for the stop-filtering criteria can improve the calculation speed of the EEMD-based method.Meanwhile,the endpoint effect can be suppressed by using the auto regressive and moving average model to extend a short-time series in dual directions.The results suggest that EEMD is a powerful tool for extraction of gait rhythmicity and it also provides valuable clues for extracting eigen rhythm of other physiological signals.     

结合背景差分和显著值筛选的运动检测算法

本文为降低背景干扰,提出了一种结合背景差分和显著值筛选的运动检测方法。该方法将VIBE运动检测方法看作一个前置处理过程,用于粗定位可疑目标区域。然后在这些可疑目标区域上,提出一种基于稀疏表示和组合Lasso回归的显著值计算方法,计算可疑区域图像块的显著值。最后通过滤除显著值过小的可疑区域图像块来降低背景干扰,提高运动检测的精确度指标。在Changedetection.net的数据子集上的仿真实验结果表明,该方法的召回率和精确度指标都较高,而且平均检测耗时少。

Direct measurement of the surface dynamics of supercooled liquid-glycerol by optical scanning a film

The surface dynamics of supercooled liquid-glycerol is studied by scanning the thickness of the glycerol film with single photon detection. Measurements are performed at room temperature well above the glycerol's glass transition temperature. It is shown that the surface dynamics of the glycerol film is very sensitive to the temperature. The linear relationship between the thickness of the film and the viscosity predicted by the Vogel--Fulcher--Tammann--Hesse (VFTH) law is also presented experimentally.

Spectral Characterization of Couplings in a Mixed Optomechanical Model *

Abstract:We study the spectrum of single-photon emission and scattering in a mixed optomechanical model which consists of both linear and quadratic optomechanical interactions. The spectra are calculated based on the exact long-time solutions of the single-photon emission and scattering processes in this system. We find that there exist some phonon sideband peaks in the spectra and there are some sub peaks around the phonon sideband peaks under proper parameter conditions. The correspondence between the spectral features and the optomechanical interactions is confirmed, and the optomechanical coupling strengths can be inferred by analyzing the resonance peaks and dips in the spectra.     

A Novel “Turn On” Glucose-Based Rhodamine B Fluorescent Chemosensor for Mercury Ions Recognition in Aqueous Solution

A novel “turn-on” fluorescent sensor based on glucose and rhodamine B for detection of mercury ions was designed and synthesized. The fluorescent sensor showed an extreme specificity for mercury ions than for other metal ions in aqueous solution. On adding mercury ions to the solution of glucose-based rhodamine B sensor, the absorption and fluorescence signals enhanced remarkably at 567 and 587 nm, respectively. Titration of sensor with mercury ions showed 1:1 stoichiometric reaction. The cyclic voltammetric measurement of an increasing amount of mercury ions in the solution of glucose-based rhodamine B sensor commendably showed the change in the fluorescence characteristics. Furthermore, the successful detection of trace amount of mercury ions in water indicated that glucose-based rhodamine B sensor can be used for the detection of the limited mercury ions in drinking water.     

Design of Hamming Code Checker Using Titanium-Diffused Lithium Niobate-Based Waveguide

ABSTRACT

This work presents an electro-optic effect-based design for the widely used Hamming code for checking single bit errors in the received data. The structure is based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, designed using Titanium-diffused Lithium Niobate-based waveguides. The proposed device has been successfully tested using the beam propagation method. For a received 7-bit code, the three simultaneously generated check bits are combined to check the error position. Critical performance parameters like extinction ratio (24.39dB), contrast ratio (25.711dB), insertion loss (0.041dB), and amplitude modulation (0.079dB) calculated for the overall device are within acceptable limits for the feasibility of the device.     

Development of non-lethal sampling of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in salmonids: effects of lipid and inorganic components of fins

The preferred tissue for analyses of fish stable isotope ratios for most researchers is muscle, the sampling of which typically requires the specimen to be sacrificed. The use of non-destructive methods in fish isotopic research has been increasing recently, but as yet is not a standard procedure. Previous studies have reported varying levels of success regarding the utility of non-lethally obtained stable isotope materials, e.g. fins, but none have accounted for the potential compounding effects of inorganic components of fin rays or lipids. Comparisons of carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) stable isotope ratios of muscle with adipose and caudal fin of two salmonids, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and brown trout (Salmo trutta L.), revealed that caudal fin can be used as a non-destructive surrogate for muscle in stable isotope analysis, but that adipose fin, where available, is a better proxy. The use of a published model to inexpensively counteract the confounding effect of lipids, which are depleted in ¹³C, greatly improved the relationship between fish muscle and fins. However, efforts to account for the inorganic components of fin rays were counterproductive and required twice the biomass of fins clipped from each fish. As this experiment was conducted on wild fish, controlled laboratory studies are required to confirm these field observations.
