A knowledge embedded multimodal pseudo-siamese model for atrial fibrillation detection.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia disease with a higher incidence rate. The diagnosis of AF is time-consuming. Although many ECG classification models have been proposed to assist in AF detection, they are prone to misclassifying indistinguishable noise signals, and the context information of long-term signals is also ignored, which impacts the performance of AF detection.

Enhanced chromium and nitrogen removal by constructing a biofilm reaction system based on denitrifying bacteria preferential colonization theory.

Understanding the developmental characteristics of microbial communities in biofilms is crucial for designing targeted functional microbial enhancements for the remediation of complex contamination scenarios. The strong prioritization effect of microorganisms confers the ability to colonize strains that arrive first dominantly. In this study, the auto-aggregating denitrifying bacterial Pseudomonas stutzeri strain YC-34, which has both nitrogen and chromium removal characteristics, was used as a biological material to form a stable biofilm system based on the principle of dominant colonization and biofortification.

Nitrogen removal intensification of biofilm through bioaugmentation with Methylobacterium gregans DC-1 during wastewater treatment.

The increasing concern for environmental remediation has led to a search for effective methods to remove eutrophic nutrients. In this study, Methylobacterium gregans DC-1 was utilized to improve nitrogen removal in a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) via aerobic denitrification. This bacterium has the extraordinary characteristics of strong auto-aggregation and a high ability to remove nitrogen efficiently, making it an ideal candidate for enhanced treatment of nitrogen-rich wastewater.

Systematic investigation of simultaneous copper biosorption and nitrogen removal from wastewater by an aerobic denitrifying bacterium of auto-aggregation.

Finding effective methods for simultaneous removal of eutrophic nutrients and heavy metals has attracted increasing concerns for the environmental remediation. Herein, a novel auto-aggregating aerobic denitrifying strain (Aeromonas veronii YL-41) was isolated with capacities for copper tolerance and biosorption. The denitrification efficiency and nitrogen removal pathway of the strain were investigated by nitrogen balance analysis and amplification of key denitrification functional genes.

Analysis of frequency response and scale-factor of tuning fork micro-gyroscope operating at atmospheric pressure.

This paper presents a study of the frequency response and the scale-factor of a tuning fork micro-gyroscope operating at atmospheric pressure in the presence of an interference sense mode by utilizing the approximate transfer function. The optimal demodulation phase (ODP), which is always ignored in vacuum packaged micro-gyroscopes but quite important in gyroscopes operating at atmospheric pressure, is obtained through the transfer function of the sense mode, including the primary mode and the interference mode. The approximate transfer function of the micro-gyroscope is deduced in consideration of the interference mode and the ODP.
