| 4. | Deterministic models for simulating electrocardiographic signals Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 10 February 2011 Marian Gidea, Claudia Gidea, William Byrd
Research highlights► We present several deterministic models for simulating the electrical activity of the heart based on the standard map dynamics and on the coupled standard map. ► The novelty of our models is that they create realistic ECG signals by adding deterministic chaos, rather than noise, to a quasi-periodic ECG model. ► Synthetic electrocardiographic signals based on deterministic chaos can be used to test time series analysis tools to analyze physiological signals. | | | 13. | Variable-shaped e-beam lithography enabling process development for future copper Damascene technology Original Research Article Microelectronic Engineering, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 9 February 2011 Philipp Jaschinsky, Jens-Wolfram Erben, Kang-Hoon Choi, Knut Schulze, Manuela Gutsch, Frieder Blaschta, Martin Freitag, Stefan E.

Jiao, J.A. Johnson, J. Tang, G. Tiwari, S. Wang
Research Highlights► Dielectric properties for black-eyed peas, mung beans, and cowpea weevils measured. ► Potential differential heating between cowpea weevils and legumes during RF heating. ► Industrial RF treatments could be developed to disinfest large quantity of legumes. | | | 18. | Generalized Playfield Segmentation of Sport Videos Using Color Features Pattern Recognition Letters, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 8 February 2011 Mao-Hsiung Hung, Chaur-Heh Hsieh, Chung-Ming Kuo, Jeng-Shyang Pan
Research highlights► We propose a method to segment playfields for various sport videos. ► Two schemes which employ pdf of color features are first proposed for clustering. ► A novel scheme is then developed to merge those clusters into four color classes. ► The segmentation based on the four classes effectively segments the playfield. | | | 25. | Evaluating the flammability of wood-based panels and gypsum particleboard using a cone calorimeter Original Research Article Construction and Building Materials, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 5 February 2011 Byoung-Ho Lee, Hee-Soo Kim, Sumin Kim, Hyun-Joong Kim, Bongwoo Lee, Yuhe Deng, Qian Feng, Jiayan Luo
Research highlights► Fire resistance and thermal stability of GPB : wood-based panels ->gypsum. ► Laminate flooring and wood veneer of the plywood reduced the SPR. ► SPR of GPB was much lower than that of the wood-based panels. ► GPB should be considered as a replacement for wood-based panels. | | |
