چکیده

Various measures for quantifying the interindividual variability of the electrocardiogram and the vectorcardiogram in healthy subjects are presented. An analysis of factors that may cause this variability is performed, in particular of the geometrical factors of body size, heart size, heart position, and orientation. The results indicate that the variations in the magnitude of the electrocardiogram as observed through leads placed on the anterior thorax are dominated by the solid angle at which the outline of ventricular mass is seen from points on the thorax. Heart size and body size as such play only a secondary role. The limited spatial sampling of the anterior thorax directly overlaying the heart causes the mean values of all measures of amplitudes in women to be lower than in men. The vectorcardiogram magnitude was found to be much less dependent on overall geometry and heart position, and, hence, also to be less dependent on gender.

Analysis of Soil Populations of Aspergillus flavus Link. from Pistachio Orchards in Iran for Vegetative Compatibility

One hundred-thirty soil isolates of A. flavus were collected from commercial pistachio orchards in two main production regions including Rafsanjan (Kerman Province, south-eastern of Iran) and Damghan (Semnan Province, central north of Iran) and assayed for vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs). The sixteen and twenty VCGs were identified for 41 and 37 nit-mutant producing isolates of A. flavus...

A review of beat-to-beat vectorcardiographic (VCG) parameters for analyzing repolarization variability in ECG signals.

Elevated ventricular repolarization lability is believed to be linked to the risk of ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation. However, ventricular repolarization is a complex electrical phenomenon, and abnormalities in ventricular repolarization are not completely understood. To evaluate repolarization lability, vectorcardiography (VCG) is an alternative approach where the electrocardi...

Analysis and study of geometrical variability on the performance of junctionless tunneling field effect transistors: Advantage or deficiency?

This study investigates geometrical variability on the sensitivity of the junctionless tunneling field effect transistor (JLTFET) and Heterostructure JLTFET (HJLTFET) performance. We consider the transistor gate dielectric thickness as one of the main variation sources. The impacts of variations on the analog and digital performance of the devices are calculated by using computer aided design (...

Neuro-ANFIS Architecture for ECG Rhythm-Type Recognition Using Different QRS Geometrical-based Features

The paper addresses a new QRS complex geometrical feature extraction technique as well as its application for electrocardiogram (ECG) supervised hybrid (fusion) beat-type classification. To this end, after detection and delineation of the major events of ECG signal via a robust algorithm, each QRS region and also its corresponding discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are supposed as virtual images ...
