Microspheres have become an important material in the biomedical and environmental sciences, particularly for use in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins as well as for use as carriers in drug delivery. In this study, their use in mi... Read More about Polymer microspheres for microbial detection.

Electromechanical analysis of a prosthetic arm (EMAS). (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Binnie, D., Gow, D. J., & Hill, S. S. (2005, August). Electromechanical analysis of a prosthetic arm (EMAS). Presented at Myoelectric Control '05

A characterisation of a complete arm prosthesis is necessary to develop effective control. This is a description of the use of Lagrange methodology to describe the system and to optimise for motion control.
The Lagrange equations of motion are deriv... Read More about Electromechanical analysis of a prosthetic arm (EMAS)..

Wavelet analysis of the ECG: A review (2005)

The wavelet transform has emerged over recent years as a powerful time–frequency analysis and signal coding tool favoured for the interrogation of complex nonstationary signals. Its application to biosignal processing has been at the forefront of the... Read More about Wavelet analysis of the ECG: A review.

Heart rate variability measurements and the prediction of ventricular arrhythmias. (2005)

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the temporal variation
between sequences of consecutive heartbeats. It is possible that HRV confers a survival advantage.In normal subjects, a variable heart rate is the normal physiological state. A loss of variabili... Read More about Heart rate variability measurements and the prediction of ventricular arrhythmias..

Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods (2004)
Journal Article

We report an improved method for the estimation of shock outcome prediction based on novel wavelet transform-based time-frequency methods. Wavelet-based peak frequency, energy, mean frequency, spectral flatness and a new entropy measure were studied...
