Extraction of Acoustic Features via Empirical Wavelet Transform to Determine Stenosis Degree of the Left Anterior Descending Artery Based on the Diastolic Heart Sounds of 75 Participants

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study proposes a non‐invasive approach for coronary artery disease (CAD) screening by analyzing diastolic heart sounds using an Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT). Spectral energies e(2) and e(3) were identified as sensitive indicators of left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis severity.

Reconceptualizing Crisis: An Empirically Based Investigation

Sociological Inquiry, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 247-263, May 2026.
Crisis is predominantly characterized in terms of its detrimental consequences. Drawing on in‐depth semi‐structured interviews in Melbourne and Taipei, the article provides a critical and distinctive understanding of crisis. Crisis is conceptualized here as a disruptive prefiguring of new possibilities, both agentic and structural.
