This paper shows how the multipulse method from digital signal processing can be used to accurately synthesize signals obtained from blood pressure and blood flow velocity sensors during posture change from sitting to standing. The multipulse method can be used to analyze signals that are composed of pulses of varying amplitudes. One of the advantages of the multipulse method is that it is able to produce an accurate and efficient representation of the signals at high resolution. The signals are represented as a set of input impulses passed through an autoregressive (AR) filter. The parameters that define the AR filter can be used to distinguish different conditions. In addition, the AR coefficients can be transformed to tube radii associated with digital wave guides, as well as pole-zero representation. Analysis of the dynamics of the model parameters have potential to provide better insight and understanding of the underlying physiological control mechanisms. For example, our data indicate that the tube radii may be related to the diameter of the blood vessels.

Article Synopsis
- - SiC particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiCp/Al) are popular in industries like aviation and automotive due to their superior performance, and wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is an effective method for processing them.
- - A thermophysical model simulates the temperature distribution and discharge crater size during the single-pulse discharge process (SPDP) and uncovers material removal mechanisms during the multi-pulse discharge process (MPDP).
- - The study finds that surface roughness is influenced by pulse-on time, pulse-off time, and servo voltage, with a developed thermophysical model showing a low relative error of 0.47-7.54% when compared to experimental results, indicating its reliability for practical applications

The escalation in defect content leads to heightened absorption, and resulting in the degradation of the optical performance of the optics. In recent decades, there have been a lot of experimental studies on laser-induced damage and laser conditioning, but there is still a great lack of in-depth understanding and theoretical analysis of the evolution process of point defects in fused silica.
