Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is a valuable, non-invasive method for quantifying autonomic cardiac control in humans. Frequency-domain analysis of HRV involving myocardial ischaemic episodes should take into account its... more
The history of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is briefly reviewed, starting with the foundations laid by Heaviside in the late 19th century in the form of Linear Systems Theory (LST). Warburg apparently was the first to... more
During the last decade, Very Low Frequency (VLF) testing for extruded distribution cables has gained interest among the North American utilities. The increasing interest is evidenced by recent research publications and discussions inside... more
A conductivity relaxation experiment has been conducted on an SrFeCo0.5Ox sample by abruptly changing the oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere and monitoring the change of conductivity as a function of time. The re-equilibrium... more
The VLF-E.M. (Very Low Frequency-Electro Magnetics) method was first used for geophysical surveying in 1964. Since then many hundreds of surveys have been carried out; several variations on the original design have been introduced; and... more
Integrated electrical and electromagnetic surveys were carried out in hard rock areas of Purulia district (West Bengal), India, for delineation of groundwater-bearing zones that would be suitable for construction of deep tube-wells for... more
Early embryonic development is characterized by dramatic modifications in chromatin organization. These contribute to the formation of the totipotent cells that will differentiate into the embryonic and extra-embryonic lineages. However,... more
The details of digital recording and computer processing of a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) remain a source of confusion for many health care professionals. A better understanding of the design and performance tradeoffs inherent in the... more
Low frequency noise measurements are among the most sensitive tools for the investigation of the quality and of the reliability of semiconductor devices. The sensitivity that can be obtained depends on the background noise of the low... more
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the benefits of a multisensor fusion methodology for underwater navigation using location-dependent signatures, or geotags. The proposed coordinate-free system uses both natural and man-made signals, as... more
A simple filter is developed which transforms VLF-EM real magnetic field transfer functions into apparent resistivities. It is based on the relationship between the horizontal derivative of the surface electric field and the vertical... more
During the International Polar Year (IPY), one area of great interest is co-coordinated, multi-instrument probing of the ionosphere at high latitudes. This region is important not only for the applications that rely upon our understanding... more
Abstrak-Kelongsoran sering terjadi pada tanah yang memiliki topografi curam. Salah satunya adalah yang terjadi di Desa Jombok, Kecamatan Ngantang, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Pada areal seluas satu hektar dijumpai penurunan permukaan... more
This study examined the theoretical controversy on the impact of syllables and bigrams in handwriting production. French children and adults wrote words on a digitizer so that we could collect data on the local, online processing of... more
Collapse and overtopping repeatedly occur in LUSI Embankment. Discontinuities (crack or fracture) in the embankment are major reasons for embankment failures or collapses. Very-low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) measurement is... more
1] Six different geophysical investigations, (1) ground-penetrating radar, (2) DC resistivity sounding, (3) seismic refraction, (4) very low frequency (VHF) electromagnetic, (5) helicopter borne electromagnetic (HEM), and (6) transient... more
This background paper on rural labour markets and migration in South Asia has been prepared for the 2008 World Development Report. The paper focuses on the question of how rural labour markets and migration can be made to work better for... more
The seismic hazard presented by slow subduction zones is not well known. While there is a widely accepted apparent relation between “fast-young plate” subduction and great earthquake generation (e.g., Chile, 1960), the seismic record... more
The energy transfer due to non-linear interactions between the components of a gravity-wave spectrum discussed in Parts 1 and 2 of this paper is evaluated for a fully and partially developed Neumann spectrum with various spreading... more
Several efforts by the local authority to fix the bad portions of Ijebu-Ode-Erunwon road, southwest Nigeria have yielded no meaningful result, as the road often get deteriorated shortly after repairs. Geophysical investigation integrated... more
Erosion of rock cliffs has been considered to be relatively unpredictable. This perceived stochastic nature of the erosional processes often occurs through collapses along fractures in the rock-mass. The prediction of catastrophic cliff... more
Surface geophysical survey was conducted around Aarada refuse dumpsite, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria to locate leachate plumes migration pathways using the very low frequency electromagnetic and vertical electrical sounding techniques.... more
An integrated suite of environmental methods was used to characterize the hydrogeological, geological and tectonic regime of the largest waste disposal landfill of Crete Island, the Fodele municipal solid waste site (MSW), to determine... more
The very low frequency-electromagnetic (VLF-EM) technique was used to delineate two sub-parallel lava tubes, faults and dikes in Umm El-Quttein area, NE Jordan. The investigation of the lava tubes was conducted through 22 VLF-EM profiles... more
In this paper we study the energy of ULF electromagnetic waves that were recorded by the satellite DEMETER, during its passing over Haiti before and after a destructive earthquake. This earthquake occurred on 12 January 2010, at... more
1] A composite model of wave propagation from terrestrial very low frequency (VLF) transmitters has been constructed to estimate the wave normal angles and fields of whistler mode waves in the plasmasphere. The model combines a simulation... more
