Objective: Common examinations for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). However, both PSG and HSAT require that sensors be attached to a subject, which may disturb their sleep and affect the results. Hence, in this study, we aimed to verify a wireless radar framework combined with deep learning techniques to screen for the risk of OSA in home-based environments.

Metabolic responses to physiological changes have been detected using chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging in clinical settings. Similarly to other MRI techniques, the CEST technique was based originally on phantoms from buffer solutions and was then further developed through animal experiments. However, CEST imaging can capture certain dynamics of metabolism that solution phantoms cannot model.

The reaction of [PdCl(CHCN)] and bis-4,4'-(RCHOCH)-2,2'-bpy (), where R = -CF (), -CF (), -CF () and -CF (), respectively, in the presence of dichloromethane (CHCl) resulted in the synthesis of Pd complex, [PdCl[4,4'-bis-(RCHOCH)-2,2'-bpy] (). The Pd-catalyzed Stille arylations of vinyl tributyltin with aryl halides were selected to demonstrate the feasibility of recycling usage with as the catalyst using NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) as the solvent at 120-150 °C. Additionally, recycling and electronic effect studies of were also carried out for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of phenylboronic acid derivatives, 4-X-CH-B(OH), (X = H or Ph) with aryl halide, 4-Y-CH-Z, (Y = CN, H or OCH; Z = I or Br) in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 135-150 °C.
