This article portrays solid xerogel-type materials, based on chitosan, TEGylated phenothiazine, and TEG (tri-ethylene glycol), dotted with a large number of pores, that are effectively represented in their constitutive structure. They were assumed to be fractal geometrical entities and adjudged as such. The acoustic fractional propagation equation in a fractal porous media was successfully applied and solved with the help of Bessel functions. In addition, the fractal character was demonstrated by the produced fractal analysis, and it has been proven on the evaluated scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures of porous xerogel compounds. The fractal parameters (more precisely, the fractal dimension), the lacunarity, and the Hurst index were calculated with great accuracy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how well right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain can predict peri-operative mortality in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation undergoing tricuspid valve surgery, compared to traditional risk scores.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 110 patients, ultimately focusing on 79 who met criteria, finding that 9% died within 30 days post-surgery.
  • Results showed that right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain was the strongest predictor of mortality, outperforming classic risk scores when combined, indicating its potential importance in patient assessment before surgery.*

Wearable ultrasound has been widely developed for long-term, continuous imaging without the need for bulky system manipulation and repeated manual locating. To potentially lead to more accurate and reliable imaging monitoring, this work presents the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a novel high-frequency wearable ultrasound array belt (WUAB) for small animal echocardiography. The fabrication process involved precise dicing technology for a λ-pitch design.

Matched power-frequency-modulated signal transform and its application in bat call signal analysis.

J Acoust Soc Am

October 2024

Department of Early Warning Technology, Air Force Early Warning Academy, Wuhan 430019, China.

Bat call signal analysis is an important research topic, which is meaningful for bat species identification, and the design of various biomimetic systems. In addition to the commonly used methods in the time-frequency domain, the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is a valuable signal processing tool, as it is a generalization of the Fourier transform. However, the FRFT is constrained to the analysis of the linear frequency modulated-like bat call signal, while the modulation of the harmonics in a bat call is often nonlinear.

Article Synopsis
  • EEG-based neurofeedback training has shown promise in enhancing attention and other executive functions in healthy individuals, but previous studies did not compare different types of feedback stimuli.
  • This study evaluated the effects of audiovisual feedback versus visual-only feedback on attention improvement in 21 participants over six training sessions, focusing on various EEG measures and behavioral outcomes.
  • Results indicated that the audiovisual group significantly outperformed the visual group in several metrics, suggesting that integrating multiple sensory modalities may enhance the effectiveness of neurofeedback training while keeping the training time manageable.

Parametric Synthesis of Single-Stage Lattice-Type Acoustic Wave Filters and Extended Multi-Stage Design.

Micromachines (Basel)

August 2024

Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan.

This study proposes a single-stage lattice-type acoustic filter using an analytical solution method for either a narrow passband filter or a wider passband filter using two kinds of parameter assignments in the Butterworth-Van Dyke (BVD) model. To achieve the goal of a large bandwidth or high return loss, two first-order all-pass conditions are used. For multi-stage lattice-type filters, the cost function is defined and design parameters are extracted by using pattern search, while the initial values are provided through single-stage design to shorten optimization time and allow convergence to a better solution.
