Cardiac dysfunction is considerably discovered in patients with liver cirrhosis. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) has newly been assigned to as an entity separate of the cirrhosis etiology. Increased cardiac output due to hyperdynamic circulation, left ventricular dysfunction (systolic and diastolic) and certain electro-physiological abnormal findings are pathophysiological features of the diseas...

In this work, a multi-level decision fusion strategy is proposed which weighs the Value of Information (VoI) against the intended functions of a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. This paper presents a multi-level approach for three different maintenance strategies in which the performance of the SHM systems is evaluated against its intended functions. Level 1 diagnosis results in damag...

In this study, to cope with the needs of the predictive maintenance for complex systems, a hybrid dynamic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based fault and degradation diagnosis and tolerance method is designed. The multi-layer feed forward ANN and recurrent ANN are combined, so as to be able to form a dynamic identification model for the nonlinear time-varying system. It has three work modes, an...

Research derived from non-invasive brain imaging modalities has been used to explore the spatial and temporal organization of the neural systems supporting human behavior and causing brain disorders. Imaging modalities of interest include positron emission tomography, event-related potentials, electro-and magnetoencephalography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this talk, we will presen...
