As heart disease is among the common diseases endangering human life, the electrocardiogram (ECG) recognition of various categories of abnormal heartbeat rhythms is essential for boosting the suc ... Read More

Law courts spend too much time reading documents and judging the type of legal cases. This problem becomes more serious as a crime can be classified into several categories at the same time. Th ... Read More

Notice of retraction: The following paper published in Sensors and Materials, Volume 32, Number 8(2), 2020, (pp. 2673–2686, ID: S&M2292), was retracted because it contained plagiarized content ... Read More

We propose a novel Tsallis cross-entropy thresholding method based on the premise that local long-range correlations rather than global long-range correlations may exist among the gray levels of ... Read More

Data mining has been applied in many fields, such as pattern evaluation, image recognition, and data analysis. Clustering is one of the most popular methods of data mining. There are many algor ... Read More

Automation systems are widely applied in many fields such as manufacturing, warehousing, machinery, power management, and smart living spaces. In this study, a bidirectional security system was ... Read More

With the booming growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, drones) in recent years, especially for commercial and recreational aerial photography UAVs, the safety issues of civilians and security ... Read More

In diagnostic ultrasound, an ultrasound transducer converts an electrical signal into an ultrasound pulse, which enters the tissue from the body surface. At the surface, an echo appears. The pr ... Read More

The manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers is now very common, but there has been little research on energy saving in this manufacturing technique. This paper provides a feas ... Read More

In this paper, an isolated single-ended primary-inductive converter (ISEPIC) with a soft-switching cell for implementing features of zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) ... Read More

In high-voltage power systems, overload or short-circuit accidents occur frequently owing to the failure of the user equipment, leading to the occurrence of power accidents. Therefore, protectiv ... Read More

Heavy network traffic with a large number of sensor nodes causes high average energy consumption, a long average transmission delay, and a short network lifetime. To prevent this problem, we pro ... Read More

To suppress interference from discrete noise of underwater sound sources, we apply matched field processing with multiple-constraint noise suppression (MNS MFP) to a distributed multisensor array ... Read More
