Impact of the atmospheric boundary layer profile on the ventilation of a cubic building with two large opposite openings [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to show the influence of the atmospheric boundary layer profile on the distribution of velocity in a building having two large openings. The knowledge of the flow form inside a building is useful to define a thermal environment favourable with thermal comfort and good air quality.

Improving Mechanical Ventilator Clinical Decision Support Systems with A Machine Learning Classifier for Determining Ventilator Mode [PDF]
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) will play an in-creasing role in improving the quality of medical care for critically ill patients. However, due to limitations in current informatics infrastructure, CDSS do not always have com-plete information on state of supporting physiologic monitor-ing devices, which can limit the input data available to ...

Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification in Mechanical Ventilation Treatment: A Conformal Deep Q-Learning Framework [PDF]
Mechanical Ventilation (MV) is a critical life-support intervention in intensive care units (ICUs). However, optimal ventilator settings are challenging to determine because of the complexity of balancing patient-specific physiological needs with the risks of adverse outcomes that impact morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.

The Lock Generative Adversarial Network for Medical Waveform Anomaly Detection [PDF]
Waveform signal analysis is a complex and important task in medical care. For example, mechanical ventilators are critical life-support machines, but they can cause serious injury to patients if they are out of synchronization with the patients' own breathing reflex.

Development of a Deep Learning Model for the Prediction of Ventilator Weaning [PDF]
The issue of failed weaning is a critical concern in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. This scenario occurs when a patient experiences difficulty maintaining spontaneous breathing and ensuring a patent airway within the first 48 hours after the withdrawal of mechanical ventilation. Approximately 20 of ICU patients experience this phenomenon, which

Window to Wall Ratio Detection using SegFormer [PDF]
Window to Wall Ratios (WWR) are key to assessing the energy, daylight and ventilation performance of buildings. Studies have shown that window area has a large impact on building performance and simulation. However, data to set up these environmental models and simulations is typically not available. Instead, a standard 40% WWR is typically assumed for
