Comparative Analysis of Various Machine Learning Techniques for Epileptic Seizures Detection and Prediction Using EEG Data

Epileptic seizures occur as a result of functional brain dysfunction and can affect the health of the patient. Prediction of epileptic seizures before the onset is beneficial for the prevention of seizures through medication. Electroencephalograms (EEG) signals are used to predict epileptic seizures using machine learning techniques and feature extractions. Nevertheless, the pre-processing of EEG

Simulation of vitiligo therapy equipment

Vitiligo is a skin disorder caused by a lack of melanin pigment in the skin, which causes white patches on certain parts of the skin because this melanin pigment is not able to produce the skin color. Previously, one of the treatments for vitiligo was using a UVB lamp with a 311 nm wavelength that could not yet be adjusted to dim the lights as safety when conducting therapy. Therefore, the

Detecting liver fibrosis using a machine learning-based approach to the quantification of the heart-induced deformation in tagged MR images

Liver disease causes millions of deaths per year worldwide, and approximately half of these cases are due to cirrhosis, which is an advanced stage of liver fibrosis that can be accompanied by liver failure and portal hypertension. Early detection of liver fibrosis helps in improving its treatment and prevents its progression to cirrhosis. In this work, we present a novel noninvasive method to

Realization of Cole–Davidson function-based impedance models: Application on plant tissues

The Cole–Davidson function is an efficient tool for describing the tissue behavior, but the conventional methods of approximation are not applicable due the form of this function. In order to overcome this problem, a novel scheme for approximating the Cole–Davidson function, based on the utilization of a curve fitting procedure offered by the MATLAB software, is introduced in this work. The

Modeling of carrier mobility for semispherical quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs)

Carrier mobility for quantum dot infrared photodetectors is considered as one of the critical parameters to determine many important device’s performance parameters such as the electrical conductivity, drift velocity, dark current and photocurrent. In this paper a complete theoretical model of the carrier mobility for semispherical quantum dot structures is developed. This model is based on the

Design and Implementation of an Optimized Artificial Human Eardrum Model

This paper introduces a fractional-order eardrum Type-II model, which is derived using fractional calculus to reduce the number of elements compared to its integer-order counterpart. The proposed fractional-order model parameters are extracted and compared using five meta-heuristic optimization techniques. The CMOS implementation of the model is performed using the Design Kit of the Austria Mikro

Implementation of a fractional-order electronically reconfigurable lung impedance emulator of the human respiratory tree

The fractional-order lung impedance model of the human respiratory tree is implemented in this paper, using Operational Transconductance Amplifiers. The employment of such active element offers electronic adjustment of the impedance characteristics in terms of both elements values and orders. As the MOS transistors in OTAs are biased in the weak inversion region, the power dissipation and the dc

Identifying the Parameters of Cole Impedance Model Using Magnitude Only and Complex Impedance Measurements: A Metaheuristic Optimization Approach

Due to the good correlation between the physiological and pathological conditions of fruits and vegetables and their equivalent Cole impedance model parameters, an accurate and reliable technique for their identification is sought by many researchers since the introduction of the model in early 1940s. The nonlinear least squares (NLS) and its variants are examples of the conventional optimization

A novel image encryption system merging fractional-order edge detection and generalized chaotic maps

This paper presents a novel lossless image encryption algorithm based on edge detection and generalized chaotic maps for key generation. Generalized chaotic maps, including the fractional-order, the delayed, and the Double-Humped logistic maps, are used to design the pseudo-random number key generator. The generalization parameters add extra degrees of freedom to the system and increase the
