In order to obtain feasible solutions determination of the state transition matrix (STM) correctly is vital. In literature the STM is usually found by using the test data itself which is not a realistic scenario. The major goal of this study is to determine STM without using test data. For that purpose a two stage method is suggested. At the first step the probability density function (pdf) is calculated using training sets and then this pdf is used to find Bayes-MAP solution which uses only spatial information. At the second step, the Bayes-MAP solution is used to find STM and later on, that STM is used in Kalman filter to obtain final results. It is seen that the results obtained with this method are better then normal Bayes-MAP results and the errors are within acceptable limits. So it is concluded that the usage of Bayes-MAP solutions in STM determination is a serious alternative for STM estimation.","PeriodicalId":119026,"journal":{"name":"2009 14th National Biomedical Engineering Meeting","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122480544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sleep stages are generally divided into three stages including awake, REM and N-REM (stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3). In this study, time domain features of EEG, EOG of right and left eyes, and chin EMG signals belonging to sleep stages were investigated and correlation between these time domain features and sleep stages was calculated. The used time domain features are mean value, standard deviation, peak value, skewness, kurtosis, and shape factor belonging to EEG, EOG of right and left eyes, and chin EMG signals. In experimental studies, PSG recordings of 3 subjects were taken and average recording time of 6.22 h, total recording time was 18.67 h. When investigated correlation coefficients, it is seen that skewness feature in time domain features of EEG signal, standard deviation feature in time domain features of EOG signals belonging to right and left eyes, and mean value feature in time domain features of chin EMG signal were more correlated with sleep stages than other features. Consequently, a feature vector can be constituted combining features determined from time domain features of EEG, EOG belonging to right and left eyes, and chin EMG signals. This obtained feature vector can be easily used in distinguishing sleep stages.","PeriodicalId":119026,"journal":{"name":"2009 14th National Biomedical Engineering Meeting","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133760914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the advantages such as cost, dimension and compatibility with IC fabrication, these chips have found specific application areas. Microfluids and microfluidics constitute one of the major research areas of this emerging field, BioMEMS. Micro mixers have become an important component of BioMEMS which are designed for microfluidics applications. Fluids demonstrate two types of flow regime, laminar and turbulent. Turbulent flow is more advantageous than laminar flow when mixing is considered. Creating turbulent flow within microchannels, commonly used in BioMEMS devices, is a challenging task as scaling into the micro domain causes fluids to mix solely by diffusion. This study presents a method for mixing in micro environment based on chaotic advection. The proposed micro mixer makes use of the turbulent flow induced by bubbles which are created by thermal actuation based on joule heating principle on gold electrodes.","PeriodicalId":119026,"journal":{"name":"2009 14th National Biomedical Engineering Meeting","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134346703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improvement of the fiber- matrix interfase is a very important approach at redevelopment of mechanical properties. In this study, glass fibers are modified by radiofrequency (RF) plasma technique with using different monomers. Silane based monomer glisitoxypropyltrimethiloxysilane and amine based ethylenediamine (EDA)are polimerized on the glass fibers in plasma environment for application of two different approaches (hydrophobic/hydrophobic). Surface modification application is optimized with increasing power and exposure time parameters, which are used for low vacuum RF glow discharge. The change of surface properties for glass fibers are characterized by measurement of static contact angle and bending strain of fiber-acrylic composites are measured with 3 point bending device. While the cost of bending strain of the composites, which is prepared by virgin glass fibers, is 127.9±9 MPa, the maximum mechanical strength has been obtained at amine based plasma polymerization technique (150.2±4 MPa). The mechanical strenght is improved according to the working parameters that are used in silane based plasma polymerisation technique (141.2±7 MPa, power: 40W, Exposure Time: 30 min) It's proved with contact angle measurement that gaining less hydrofobic property to the surface is an appropriate approach.","PeriodicalId":119026,"journal":{"name":"2009 14th National Biomedical Engineering Meeting","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133375520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, non-invasive recording of evoked responses on the scalp have solely been determined for electrical stimuli.In this study, psychophysical detection thresholds of adult subjects were measured at various mechanical frequencies. These values were found to be consistent with the literature. To measure the frequency following brain responses, stimulus intensities were determined based on psychophysical sensation levels.

It is a widespread method to coat the metallic implant surfaces with bioactive ceramic films in order to increase their compatibility and improve bone apposition in the body. Although various calcium phosphate (CaP) based bioactive ceramic compounds with structure similar to the bone exist, hydroxyapatite (HAP) coatings, that has approximately the same composition with biological apatite in the body, create interests in recent years.
