A novel particle filtering method for estimation of pulse pressure variation during spontaneous breathing
(2016-08-11)Background: We describe the first automatic algorithm designed to estimate the pulse pressure variation (PPVPPV) from arterial blood pressure (ABP) signals under spontaneous breathing conditions. While currently there are ... -
OSCILLATING SURGE WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION FOR DIRECT SEAWATER DESALINATION
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-03)Having a reliable supply of fresh water is a problem that affects nations around the world. Saltwater desalination is one of the best methods for fulfilling this need, but it is an energy-intensive process that is expensive ... -
Passive micromixers for DNA analysis using CFD modelling
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Mixing efficiency is an important issue in the design of micromixers, since effective mixing is required between Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample and restriction enzyme for a fast digestion process. Mixing is improved ... -
Poly(ethylene Oxide)/β-lactoglobulin Electrospun Nanofibers: Chemical Crossliking Assessment and Thymosin-β4 Functionalization
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-13)Using electrospun nanofiber scaffolds have emerged as a technique for tissue engineering (TE) applications. In 2011, Sullivan et al. reported on the process to effectively electrospin and crosslink nanofibers from ... -
Portable respirators suitable for agricultural workers
(2015-10-13)Portable personal respiratory protection devices include a self-contained head gear member with a chin collar that has a front segment that defines a mouth portion and attaches to a back segment that resides over ears of ... -
Pulmonary Artery Hemodynamics Using MRI & CFD
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)Pulmonary hypertension (PH), as defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) greater than 25 mmHg, is a life-threatening chronic disorder of the pulmonary circulation which leads to right ventricle failure and if ... -
Role of antidepressants in fetal synapse formation in Autism Spectrum Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-23)Autism is a genetically complex neurodevelopmental disorder in which patients exhibit social deficits in both verbal and non-verbal forms of communication and display restricted and repetitive behaviors. Approximately 1 ... -
Simulating and Optimizing a Zero-Waste Wave-To-Water Desalination System
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-28)Current methods of producing clean water are not capable of meeting growing demands. One method of producing clean water is through a process called desalination, which is the process of removing salt and other minerals ... -
Storm Event Nitrogen Dynamics in Waterfowl Impoundments
(2019-03)This dataset contains water quality, rainfall, and water level data collected from two waterfowl impoundments in eastern North Carolina during storm events. Each waterfowl impoundment has a separate file. The Ag file was ... -
The facial inversion effect throughout healthy adult aging : an event-related brain potential study
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-02)Age-associated cognitive decline (AACD) is a natural part of life. The difference between malignant and benign AACD can be difficult to determine in the early stages of dementia. Many factors affect an individual's brain ... -
Utilizing Brain Activity to Non-Invasively Predict Blood Glucose Levels
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-16)Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that must be routinely self-monitored to prevent life threatening complications, diabetic coma, and to mitigate long-term complications, such as neuropathy and kidney failure. Despite ...
