Sensing, Modeling and Optimization of Cardiac Systems A New Generation of Digital Twin for Heart Health Informatics


Free Download Sensing, Modeling and Optimization of Cardiac Systems: A New Generation of Digital Twin for Heart Health Informatics (SpringerBriefs in Service Science) by Hui Yang, Bing Yao
English | August 19, 2023 | ISBN: 3031359518 | 100 pages | MOBI | 8.51 Mb
This book reviews the development of physics-based modeling and sensor-based data fusion for optimizing medical decision making in connection with spatiotemporal cardiovascular disease processes. To improve cardiac care services and patients’ quality of life, it is very important to detect heart diseases early and optimize medical decision making. This book introduces recent research advances in machine learning, physics-based modeling, and simulation optimization to fully exploit medical data and promote the data-driven and simulation-guided diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Specifically, it focuses on three major topics: computer modeling of cardiovascular systems, physiological signal processing for disease diagnostics and prognostics, and simulation optimization in medical decision making. It provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in personalized cardiac modeling by integrating physics-based knowledge of the cardiovascular system with machine learning and multi-source medical data. It also discusses the state-of-the-art in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing for the identification of disease-altered cardiac dynamics. Lastly, it introduces readers to the early steps of optimal decision making based on the integration of sensor-based learning and simulation optimization in the context of cardiac surgeries.

Thermal Biology Temperature Sensing and Temperature-Responding Systems


Free Download Thermal Biology: Temperature Sensing and Temperature-Responding Systems by Makoto Tominaga, Masahiro Takagi
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 263 Pages | ISBN : 9819745837 | 55.9 MB
This book concerns two subthemes, ‘temperature sensing’ and ‘temperature-responding systems’, addressing the questions of how temperature is sensed and how temperature is related to biological functions, respectively. Temperature affects various physiological functions and is one of the most important factors in homeostasis. The book seeks to integrate our understanding of temperature-dependent biological phenomena with the development of techniques that detect and regulate local temperatures in cells and organs with high resolution and precision.

Urban Growth Analysis and Remote Sensing A Case Study of Kolkata, India 1980-2010


Free Download Urban Growth Analysis and Remote Sensing: A Case Study of Kolkata, India 1980-2010 By Basudeb Bhatta (auth.)
2012 | 103 Pages | ISBN: 9400746970 | PDF | 3 MB
This book documents research conducted on the analysis of urban growth and sprawl by using remote sensing data and GIS techniques. The research was conducted between 1980-2010 in the city of Kolkata, India. The aim of the research was to use metrics that were less demanding in terms of data and computation than normal metrics. However, it has been found that most of them were inferior in capturing insights of urban sprawl. For this book, some of these metrics have therefore been modified and new ones are proposed. The research focuses on problems associated with the analysis of urban growth by using remote sensing data from a technological perspective.
