Aims: To determine the safety and efficacy of frequency domain OCT, which can scan at much higher rates and make it possible to avoid an occlusion balloon and image during an angiographic injection through guide catheter. The catheters have diameters ranging from 2.7 to 3.5 Fr. The presence of the imaging catheter increases fluid resistance to the injection of viscous solutions necessary for clearing the blood.
Methods And Results: The Volcano 3.5 Fr frequency domain OCT catheter system was investigated for safety in (a) n=10 porcine studies using acute and 30-day histology, and (b) for efficacy in n=9 in vivo porcine coronary arteries. We found: (a) frequency domain imaging is safe in the porcine model using histology as an endpoint; (b) the addition of a viscous contrast (iodixonal) to saline is superior for lumen clearance compared to saline alone; (c) hand injection, 4 ml/sec, and 6 ml/sec power injection all provided similar vessel wall clearance; (d) the anticipated loss of vessel wall visualisation with left main injection (due to half the injectate in the non-imaged vessel) was not evident in proximal and middle coronary artery OCT catheter positions.
Conclusions: Frequency domain OCT is safe and efficacious in the porcine model.

Monitoring cerebral oxygenation and metabolism, using a combination of invasive and non-invasive sensors, is vital due to frequent disruptions in hemodynamic regulation across various diseases. These sensors generate continuous high-frequency data streams, including intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), providing real-time insights into cerebral function. Analyzing these signals is crucial for understanding complex brain processes, identifying subtle patterns, and detecting anomalies.

Rail corrugation intensifies wheel-rail vibrations, often leading to damage in vehicle-track system components within affected sections. This paper proposes a novel method for identifying rail corrugation, which combines Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN), permutation entropy (PE), and Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution (SPWVD). Initially, vertical acceleration data from the axle box are decomposed using CEEMDAN to extract intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with distinct frequencies.

The hindering of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signal reception by jamming and spoofing attacks degrades the signal quality. Careful attention needs to be paid when post-processing the signal under these circumstances before feeding the signal into the GNSS receiver's post-processing stage. The identification of the time domain statistical attributes and the spectral domain characteristics play a vital role in analyzing the behaviour of the signal characteristics under various kinds of jamming attacks, spoofing attacks, and multipath scenarios.

Structural damage identification based on structural health monitoring (SHM) data and machine learning (ML) is currently a rapidly developing research area in structural engineering. Traditional machine learning techniques rely heavily on feature extraction, where weak feature extraction can lead to suboptimal features and poor classification performance. In contrast, ML-based methods, particularly deep learning approaches like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), automatically extract relevant features from raw data, improving the accuracy and adaptability of the damage identification process.

Security is one of the increasingly significant issues given advancements in technology that harness data from multiple devices such as the internet of medical devices. While protecting data from unauthorized user access, several techniques are used including fingerprints, passwords, and others. One of the techniques that has attracted much attention is the use of human features, which has proven to be most effective because of the difficulties in impersonating human-related features.
