The application of wavelet filtering and analysis in spectroscopy is discussed in relation to the analysis of complex atmospheric spectra, where contributions from condensed phase particles and gas phase molecules are present in the form of broad-band features and narrow lines, respectively. The broad-band contribution can be extracted as the 'smooth signal' component of the wavelet transform, with a large reduction in the size of the corresponding data files. This procedure is applied to an investigation of the H2SO4 aerosol content of a series of atmospheric spectra measured in the ATMOS missions. The sulfate content of the smooth signal is analysed by means of correlation techniques, using a set of laboratory reference spectra of varying sulfuric acid concentration and temperature. Correlation density maps and correlation curves are used to select the most appropriate spectral zones for sulfate analysis and to assess the sulfate aerosol content in the atmosphere subsequent to the eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano.

Accurate detection of cardiac arrhythmias is crucial for preventing premature deaths. The current study employs a dual-stage Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and a median filter to eliminate noise from ECG signals. Subsequently, ECG signals are segmented, and QRS regions are extracted for further preprocessing.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic disability that occurs due to the loss of neurons. The traditional methods to detect AD involve questionnaires and expensive neuro-imaging tests, which are time-consuming, subjective, and inconvenient to the target population. To overcome these limitations, Electroencephalogram (EEG) based methods have been developed to classify AD patients from normal controlled (NC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects.

Automatic crack detection is challenging, owing to the complex and thin topologies, diversity, and background noises of cracks. Inspired by the wavelet theory, we present an instance normalization wavelet (INW) layer and embed the layer into the deep model for segmentation. The proposed layer employs prior knowledge in the wavelets to capture the crack features and filter the high-frequency noises simultaneously, accelerating the convergence of model training.

Background: Early diagnosis of syphilis is vital for its effective control. This study aimed to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI) diagnostic model based on radiomics technology to distinguish early syphilis from other clinical skin lesions.
Methods: The study collected 260 images of skin lesions caused by various skin infections, including 115 syphilis and 145 other infection types.

Unlabelled: Fetal phonocardiography is a well-known auscultation technique for evaluation of fetal health. However, murmurs that are synchronous with the maternal heartbeat can often be heard while listening to fetal heart sounds. Maternal placental murmurs (MPM) could be used to detect maternal cardiovascular and placental abnormalities, but the recorded MPMs are often contaminated by ambient interference and noise.
