Calculate excess mortality during heatwaves using Hilbert-Huang transform algorithm

BACKGROUND Heatwaves could cause the population excess death numbers to be ranged from tens to thousands within a couple of weeks in a local area. An excess mortality due to a special event (e.g., a heatwave or an epidemic outbreak) is estimated by subtracting the mortality figure under 'normal' conditions from the historical daily mortality records. The calculation of the excess mortality is a...

Nonlinear and Non-stationary Vibration Analysis for Mechanical Fault Detection by Using EMD-FFT Method

The Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a powerful method for nonlinear and non-stationary vibrations analysis. This approach consists of two basic parts of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert spectral analysis (HSA). To achieve the reliable results, Bedrosian and Nuttall theorems should be satisfied. Otherwise, the phase and amplitude functions are mixed together and consequently, the ...

This paper investigates an underwater noise target classification algorithm in order to identify vessels in shallow water. To this aim the Hilbert Huang transform has been used to extract features in order to be used in a classifier. The Support Vector Machine has been considered to identify targets. The proposed method based on Hilbert Huang Transform shows considerable gain against similar ap...

Evaluation of a heat warning system in Adelaide, South Australia, using case-series analysis

BACKGROUND Heatwave warning systems aim to assist in reducing health effects during extreme heat. Evaluations of such systems have been limited. This study explored the effect of a heatwave warning programme on morbidity and mortality in Adelaide, South Australia, by comparing extreme events in 2009 and 2014, the latter with exposure to the preventive programme. METHODS The health outcomes du...
