Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems fall into the category of ultra-wideband (UWB) devices. Most GPR equipment covers a frequency range between an octave and a decade by using short-time pulses. Each signal recorded by a GPR gathers a temporal log of attenuated and distorted versions of these pulses (due to the effect of the propagation medium) plus possible electromagnetic interferences and noise. In order to make a good interpretation of this data and extract the most possible information during processing, a deep knowledge of the wavelet emitted by the antennas is essential. Moreover, some advanced processing techniques require specific knowledge of this signal to obtain satisfactory results. In this work, we carried out a series of tests in order to determine the source wavelet emitted by a ground-coupled antenna with a 500 MHz central frequency.

The development of China's National Carbon Market has strengthened the inherent link between the carbon market and the broader energy market, providing a potential for cross-market risk transmission resonance. Studying the risk spillover effects between China's National Carbon Market and the crude oil futures market is of significant practical importance, both in terms of carbon market development and carbon risk management. Based on the Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT), the price series are decomposed across multiple scales, and the risk spillover effects between the carbon market and the crude oil futures market are examined from both the time domain and the frequency domain.

A ca. 76% decrease in gross alpha activity levels, measured in surface aerosols collected in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain), has been explained in the present study in connection with the reduction of activities, and eventual closure, of an oil refinery in the city. Gross Alpha in surface aerosols, collected at weekly intervals over a period of 22 years (2001-2022), was used for the analysis.

Ship noise emission has many environmental impacts. Recognizing noise-generating source and investigating noise reduction techniques is the first step in elimination or reduction of these harmful effects. Studies show that ship propeller is one of the main sources of ship noise emission.

Here we report the fabrication of a noncontact pulse oximeter system based on a dual-wavelength imaging system and its oxygen saturation monitoring performance during wound healing. The dual-wavelength imaging system consists of 660 nm and 940 nm light-emitting diodes and a multi-spectral camera that simultaneously accepts visible and near-infrared images. Using the proposed system, images were acquired at 30 fps at both wavelengths, and photoplethysmography signals were extracted by specifying a specific region in the images.

The condition of a joint in a human being is prone to wear and several pathologies, particularly in the elderly and athletes. Current means towards assessing the overall condition of a joint to assess for a pathology involve using tools such as X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging, to name a couple. These expensive methods are of limited availability in resource-constrained environments and pose the risk of radiation exposure to the patient.
