Photoplethysmographic-based automated sleep-wake classification using a support vector machine.

Objective: Sleep quality has a significant impact on human mental and physical health. The detection of sleep-wake states is thus of paramount importance in the study of sleep. The gold standard method for sleep-wake classification is multi-sensor-based polysomnography (PSG) which is normally recorded in a clinical setting.

Jute stick pyrolysis for bio-oil production in fluidized bed reactor.

Pyrolysis of jute stick for bio-oil production has been investigated in a continuous feeding fluidized bed reactor at different temperatures ranging from 300 degrees C to 600 degrees C. At 500 degrees C, the yields of bio-oil, char and non-condensable gas were 66.70 wt%, 22.
