Each channel is composed of a hybrid architecture current steering 8 bit DAC, enabling the low power consumption and high channel integration on a small chip area. Besides, the DAC allows stimulating with several waveforms in order to save stimulation energy. An on-chip module was implemented to control galvanostatic deposition of PEDOT on the electrodes. A schema is presented to avoid the residual charge due to cross electrode stimulation and process mismatch.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128998071","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}

One of the antennas is implanted inside the chest and the second antenna is placed on the surface of body at certain distance. The on-body antenna is rotated at different angles with respect to the inbody antenna and path loss is calculated at certain fixed distance. The body-centric path loss is compared with the free space path loss as well. Results show that there is almost 10-15 dB variation in path loss in case of in-vivo channel as compared to free space. Also a degradation in path loss and channel response with respect to the orientation angle between implanted transmitter and on-body receiver is observed, which highlights the importance of carefully considering the location of on-body receiver for optimal system performance.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121312466","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}

Some major electrospinning parameters such as the concentration of polymer solution, flow rate, spinning voltage and distance between the needle tip and collection target were chosen to investigate its effect on the topological morphology as well as the average diameter of the electronspun PVA nanofibers using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Diameters of the nanofibers obtained ranged from 150 nm to 900 nm. The diameters of electrospun nanofibers were most significantly affected by the concentration of polymer solution. While lower concentration always gave rise to the formation of discontinuous nanofibers with beads, an increasing concentration yielded smooth and uniform nanofibers with increasing diameters and beaded morphology was found disappearing. Keeping solution concentration constant at a higher value that yielded smooth nanofibers, an increase in the flow rate again changed the morphology from smooth to beaded morphology of nanofibers obtained. Spinning voltage did not show any specific trend of diameter change at a wider range (10 to 25 kV) selected in this study.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127851962","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}

In this work, the feasibility of the CS framework for accelerated dynamic MRI is assessed. The fundamental condition of sparsity required in the CS framework is exploited by applying a wavelet transform and a Fourier transform along spatial and temporal directions. The second condition for CS, random sampling, is done by randomly skipping spiral interleaves in each dynamic frame. The proposed approach was tested in simulated and in vivo cardiac MRI data. Results show that higher acceleration factors, with improved spatial and temporal quality, can be obtained with the proposed approach in comparison to the standard CS reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129341043","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}

Due to the fact that technology underlying BCI is not yet mature enough and still having shortcomings for usage out of laboratory, these prevent their widespread application. These shortcomings are caused by limitations in functionality of BCI system tools and techniques. The motivation of this work was to develop efficient BCI techniques including signal processing, feature extraction, pattern recognition and classification to improve the performance of P300 Visual Speller BCI system. Data sets used in this paper were acquired using BCI2000's P300 Speller paradigm provided by BCI competitions. Primarily, in the processing phase time domain and spatial domain feature extraction were applied. Followed by classification phase where various linear and extended linear classifiers were utilized. One of the main achievements of this paper is applying Independent Component Analysis (ICA) or Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as spatial domain feature extraction for dimensionality and artifact reduction. Reducing electrodes to half its original size highly improved performance with linear classifiers and yet outperformed the results of BCI competition winners with extended linear classifiers.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131523559","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}

Experiment on human subjects was conducted by measuring brain signals using ECVT during five conditions: (1) relax: baseline condition, (2) actual movement with the right hands and left hands, (3) imagined movement with right and left hands. Signal normalization was used to extract the ECVT brain activity signals related to a particular condition. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed on the ECVT images of brain activity related to EM and IM tasks.

This paper describes, an automated algorithm for shadow region detection and enhancement in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images using an adaptive threshold method for threshold selection, contour approach for border detection and image enhancement algorithm including histogram analysis for the shadow regions improvement. As shadow appears behind the calcification plaque, it makes it difficult or impossible for the dark region to process automatically around these regions. The acoustic shadow usually follows the hard plaque in IVUS images and it can distinguish calcification regions from other bright regions. Therefore we propose to use Otsu Threshold for calcification plaque segmentation and the Active contours without edge method for shadow region separation of the image and histogram matching for shadow enhancing. Results show that the proposed method efficiently detected shadow regions even in complicated images.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122161759","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 the key difference between this study and the previous ones is that in our approach, a Gaussian mixture models the textural features extracted by the Curvelet transform and the Spiculated Lesion Filters. The results of the current study are shown in the form of accuracy and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves on the DDSM and MIAS databases. The results suggest that the proposed method outperforms the previous work about 17.90% in accuracy and 0.19 in area under the receiver operating characteristic.

An advanced analysis of periodicity with the application of digital filters in phase continuum revealed a baseline rhythmic oscillation on over 80% of both mRNA and microRNA populations. This computational observation adds evidence to the theory that microRNAs play an active role in modulation of rhythmic expression as a general rule rather than special exemption.
