Time-frequency distributions, such as smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (SPWVD), complex demodulation (CDM), and provide useful time-varying spectral parameter estimators. However, each of these methods has limitations that a joint utilization could largely reduce, due to their interesting complementary features. The aim of this paper is to validate the joint SPWVD-CDM method on synthetic and real cardiovascular time series with normal and reduced variability such as in autonomic blockade or autonomic deficiency. We propose two indexes related to the noise present in the signal and to the dispersion of the power spectrum in order to validate instantaneous parameter estimation. In the low-frequency band, the interpretation of the instantaneous frequency and phase of cardiovascular time-series should be discarded in many real-life situations. Conversely, in the high frequency band, under paced breathing, the reliability of the instantaneous parameters is demonstrated even in conditions of reduced cardiovascular variability.

Coalbed methane (CBM) horizontal wells often experience significant coal fines production during the drainage process, which disrupts efficient CBM extraction. This study monitored key drainage parameters such as gas and water production rates, bottomhole flowing pressure, and casing pressure over an extended period. We analyzed fluid samples containing coal fines to understand their concentration, particle size distribution, and morphology.

The time-since-infection (TSI) models, which use disease surveillance data to model infectious diseases, have become increasingly popular due to their flexibility and capacity to address complex disease control questions. However, a notable limitation of TSI models is their primary reliance on incidence data. Even when hospitalization data are available, existing TSI models have not been crafted to improve the estimation of disease transmission or to estimate hospitalization-related parameters-metrics crucial for understanding a pandemic and planning hospital resources.

In the field of control, many approaches have been used to control generators, where indirect vector control (IVC) is considered one of the most prominent of these approaches due to its many advantages. This approach has a fast response time (RT) and is quite easy to realize. However, its reliance on traditional controllers makes this approach less efficient and less effective if the system parameters change.

Voice onset is the sequence of events between the first detectable movement of the vocal folds (VFs) and the stable vibration of the vocal folds. It is considered a critical phase of phonation, and the different modalities of voice onset and their distinctive characteristics are analysed. Oscillation of the VFs can start from either a closed glottis with no airflow or an open glottis with airflow.

The use of ultra-high dose rate beams (UHDR) (> 40 Gy/s) for radiotherapy, despite its advantage of exhibiting the FLASH effect that improves the sparing of healthy tissues, faces challenges in dosimetry and beam monitoring since standard dosimeters like the ionization chamber experience saturation effects at such high dose rates. Silicon carbide (SiC) detectors have recently been demonstrated to be dose-rate independent with low-energy pulsed electron beams up to an instantaneous dose rate of 5.5 MGy/s, and has emerged as a reliable alternative technology for dosimetry in FLASH-RT.
