Background: While electrocardiographic parameters of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (H-LVH) are well known, limited data are available regarding hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This study was to assess the diagnostic value of electrocardiographic voltage parameters in HCM.
Methods: Included patients with HCM treated between March 2015 and May 2023. Voltage parameters (S-L, Cornell, Cornell product, Lewis, Peguero, and modified Cornell voltages) and echocardiography were evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the diagnostic value of electrocardiogram in HCM. The multiple linear regression was conducted to analyze the correlation between electrocardiogram indicators and cardiac diastolic function.
Results: The highest sensitivity for HCM was Peguero voltage (70.4%; 88.6% specificity). The Peguero voltage had high sensitivity in male (63.8%) and female patients (84.9%), those aged <65 years (71.6%) and ≥65 years (68.3%), with non-apical HCM (AHCM) (76.7%), obstructive HCM (82.1%), and non-obstructive HCM (66.9%). The sensitivity of the S-L voltage was high in AHCM (72.2%). The sensitivity for HCM reached 88.7% when the S-L and Peguero voltages were combined. The modified Cornell index had the highest area under the curve (0.88, 95% CI: 0.84-0.91), and its optimal cutoff value was 2.05 mV in males (77.6% sensitivity and 74% specificity) and 1.935 mV in females (90.6% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity). Peguero voltage (beta = 0.154, = 0.034) and S (beta = 0.223 = 0.004) were independently correlated with E/e', an index of left ventricular diastolic function.
Conclusion: The Peguero voltage had high sensitivity and specificity for detecting the presence of HCM. It was positively correlated with E/e' in patients with HCM. For AHCM, the S-L voltage was more advantageous. Combining the S-L voltage with the Peguero voltage further improves the sensitivity for HCM and thus could be used to improve the screening of HCM in clinical practice. The S and modified Cornell voltage also had good diagnostic performance, especially in females.

This paper addresses the author's current understanding of the physics of interactions in polymers under a voltage field excitation. The effect of a voltage field coupled with temperature to induce space charges and dipolar activity in dielectric materials can be measured by very sensitive electrometers. The resulting characterization methods, thermally stimulated depolarization (TSD) and thermal-windowing deconvolution (TWD), provide a powerful way to study local and cooperative relaxations in the amorphous state of matter that are, arguably, essential to understanding the glass transition, molecular motions in the rubbery and molten states and even the processes leading to crystallization.

Silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are a future trend in traction inverters in electric vehicles (EVs), and their thermal safety is crucial. Temperature-sensitive electrical parameters' (TSEPs) indirect detection normally requires additional circuits, which can interfere with the system and increase costs, thereby limiting applications. Therefore, there is still a lack of cost-effective and sensorless thermal monitoring techniques.

We report on a procedure for extracting the SPICE model parameters of a RADFET sensor with a dielectric HfO/SiO double-layer. RADFETs, traditionally fabricated as PMOS transistors with SiO, are enhanced by incorporating high-k dielectric materials such as HfO to reduce oxide thickness in modern radiation sensors. The fabrication steps of the sensor are outlined, and model parameters, including the threshold voltage and transconductance, are extracted based on experimental data.

Local electrochemical deposition (LECD) is an innovative additive manufacturing technology capable of achieving precise deposition of metallic microstructures. This study delves into the ramifications of pivotal operational parameters-namely, the initial electrode gap, deposition voltage, and additive concentration-on the morphology of zinc microcolumns fabricated through LECD. A holistic approach integrating experimental methodologies with finite element simulations was adopted to scrutinize the influence of these variables on the microcolumns' dimensions, surface morphology, and structural integrity.
