A damaged-informed lung model for ventilator waveforms [PDF]
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the acute development of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) resulting in increased vascular permeability and decreased alveolar gas exchange. Mechanical ventilation is a potentially lifesaving intervention to improve oxygen exchange but has the potential to cause ventilator-induced lung ...

Spatial features of CO2 for occupancy detection in a naturally ventilated school building [PDF]
Accurate occupancy information helps to improve building energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Occupancy detection methods based on CO2 sensors have received attention due to their low cost and low intrusiveness. In naturally ventilated buildings, the accuracy of CO2-based occupancy detection is generally low in related studies due to the complex ...

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 ...

Medical Support System for Spontaneous Breathing Trial Prediction Using Nonuniform Discrete Fourier Transform [PDF]
Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) represent a pivotal phase in the weaning process of mechanically ventilated patients. The objective of these trials is to assess patients readiness to resume independent breathing, thereby facilitating timely weaning and reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation (MV).
