The small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has revolutionised the study of (SB) diseases. objective this is to determine indications, findings and diagnostic yield SBCE in a national registry.An observational, analytical cross-sectional was carried out, analysing records at seven centres country, where different variables were collected.1,883 SBCEs evaluated. average age 55.4 years (5.6–94.2). mo...

RF localization science and technology started with the global positioning systems for outdoor areas, and it then transformed into wireless indoor geolocation. The next step in the evolution of this science is the transformation into RF localization inside the human body. The first major application for this technology is the localization of the wireless video capsule endoscope (VCE) that has b...

The optimal diagnostic approach and yield for gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in patients with ventricular assist devices (VAD) are unknown. We explored the etiology of bleeding and yield of upper and lower endoscopy, balloon-assisted enteroscopy, and video capsule endoscopy in the evaluation of GIB in patients with VADs. Methods. All VAD patients with overt gastrointestinal bleeding and drop i...

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) provides a noninvasive way to examine the intestinal lumen as the capsule moves along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, this technology is unable to localize itself when an abnormality is found by the video source. Knowing how the capsule moves will greatly enhance the accuracy in localizing the capsule. In this paper, we develope a novel image processing t...

The use of state-of-the-art real-time techniques in industry is still rare. The reason for this is three-folded: (1) the lack of commercially available tools, (2) the lack of methodologies that considers real-time throughout the complete development process, and (3) the lack of competence in real-time theory among industrial practitioners. In this paper we present a case study of introducing st...

Wireless video capsule endoscope (VCE) provides a noninvasive method to examine the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially small intestine, where other endoscopic instruments can barely reach. VCE is able to continuously provide clear pictures in short fixed intervals, and as such researchers have attempted to use image processing methods to track the video capsule in order to locate th...

Estimation of genetic variability and correlations between production traits (milk yield, fat content, protein content) selected type (angularity, fore udder height, rear front teat placement, length, depth) was done using data sets 10,860 first-calving Holstein-Friesian cows raised in the territory Republic Serbia. Genetic variance covariance were obtained Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) ...

The DC and RF characteristics of double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) with a compressively strained InGaAsSb base prepared by solid-source molecular beam epatixy (MBE) are investigated. Compared with conventional InGaAs/InP DHBT structures, the proposed InGaAsSb/InP HBT exhibits lower baseemitter turn-on voltage and VCE-offset voltage. Also observed are the high collector current d...

This paper examines the practical challenges of simplified setups aimed at achieving high-power IGBTs’ IC–VCE curve. The slope this I–V curve (which is defined as on-resistance RCE) and point where VCE–VGE visibly bends (threshold gate voltage) can be suitable failure precursor parameters to determine an IGBT’s health condition. A simplified/affordable design for these specific measurements use...

This work is concerned with the consequence analysis of vapour cloud explosion (VCE) due to accidental release of hydrogen (H2) from the hydrogen holder in a chloralkali plant. Hydrogen is highly flammable if released accidentally may lead to flash fire or VCE which has the potential to damage people, equipment and facilities in the vicinity of the hydrogen holder. The equivalent TNT, TNO multi...
