Using machine learning to assess the predictive capabilities of fetal cardiotocography with reference to the time of the measurement relative to time of birth

Abstract—Background: cardiotocography (CTG) has long been used in clinical decision making to help assess the fetus’ condition during pregnancy. However it’s usefulness in the detection of fetal acidosis is debated due to high inter and intraobserver variability and general difficulty in interpreting the signals. The introduction of automatic...

A Novel Defect Diagnosis Method for Kyropoulos Process Based Sapphire Growth

When sapphire crystal is prepared with Kyropoulos method, the necking-down growth process is a key stage. Sapphire growth defect is a big problem in this stage. However, diagnosing growth defects is subject to the interference of workers subjectivity and accuracy always goes down. To address the problem, a novel defect diagnosis method is...

Quicker Quality Scan: A Multi-Variable Evaluation and Diagnosis Method for Vehicle-Actuated Traffic Signal Controllers

To evaluate traffic signal controllers, and vehicle-actuated traffic signal controllers in particular, in terms of how they are performing with respect to the road authority’s policies on traffic flow and accessibility, traffic safety, and environmental factors, several methods are developed in practice. However, in scientific literature, little...

A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Program Spectra Diagnosability

Current metrics for assessing the adequacy of a test-suite plainly focus on the number of components (be it lines, branches, paths) covered by the suite, but do not explicitly check how the tests actually exercise these components and whether they provide enough information so that spectrum-based fault localization techniques can perform...

The EC: a device to diagnose urinary schistosomiasis in Ghana: Designed for local facilities as well as large-scale community screening sessions

This report is the result of a graduation project about Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease caused by the Schistosoma parasite. And about a new technology to detect the parasitic infections. More specifically, to detect the urinary Schistosoma type, called S. haematobium.<br/><br/>Within Africa, a large number of countries are affected...

Exploring DDU in Practice

The quality of test suites is commonly measured using adequacy metrics that focus on error detection, like test coverage. However, the diagnostic performance of spectrum-based fault localization techniques, that can potentially reduce the time spent on debugging, rely on diagnosability of test suites --- the property of faults to be easily and...

A Test-suite Diagnosability Metric for Spectrum-based Fault Localization Approaches

Current metrics for assessing the adequacy of a test- suite plainly focus on the number of components (be it lines, branches, paths) covered by the suite, but do not explicitly check how the tests actually exercise these components and whether they provide enough information so that spectrum-based fault localization techniques can perform...

Bachelor Afstudeer Project BabyShell: Voeding, Batterijmanagement en PCB

Voor het Bachelor Afstudeer Project van groep I is BabyShell ontwikkeld. BabyShell is een draagbaar apparaat dat in staat is om jonge ouders en zwangere vrouwen te helpen om een voorlopige diagnose te stellen van medische problemen van hun kinderen. Ook is BabyShell in staat om temperatuur op te nemen en belangrijke data bij te houden zoals...
