چکیده

We generalize the wavelet transform modulus maxima approach in order to analyze positive and negative changes separately and show different singularity spectra depending on the direction of changes in (i) human heartbeat interval data during sympathetic blockade, (ii) time series of daytime human physical activity of healthy individuals (but not of patients with debilitating fatigue), and (iii) daily stock price records of the Nikkei 225 in the period 1990-2002--but not of the S&P 500. We conclude that the analysis of asymmetrical singularities provides deeper insights into the underlying complexity of real-world signals that can greatly enhance our understanding of the mechanisms determining the systems' dynamics.

Interpretation of Electrochemical Noise Signals Arising from Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Electrodes Made of Polypyrrole Coated Mild Steel

This article applies the standard deviation of partial signal (SDPS) plots of electrochemical noise (EN) current signals originating from corrosion events on the symmetrical and asymmetrical electrodes made of uncoated and polypyrrole (PPy)-coated mild steel alloy in 4000 ppm NaCl+1000 ppm NaNO2 solution. Signal recording was performed after 30, 60, 90 min and 24 h from immersion...

Determining the Proper compression Algorithm for Biomedical Signals and Design of an Optimum Graphic System to Display Them (TECHNICAL NOTES)

In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...
