Abstract The digitization of processes and methods has been in the focus construction industry recent years. Whereas automotive predictive maintenance is state art, prediction service lifetime for bridges not standardized due to missing sufficient data develop train machine learning algorithms. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) used, e.g., monitor a local damage trend or structure's response e...

OBJECTIVE In some patients who undergo presurgical workup for drug-resistant epilepsy invasive seizure monitoring is needed to define the seizure onset zone and delineate eloquent cortex. Such procedures carry risks for complications causing permanent morbidity and even mortality. In this study, prospective data on complications in a national population-based sample were analysed. DESIGN Comp...

Implantable biosensors were developed for real-time monitoring of pressure and strain in the human body. The sensor, which was wireless and passive, consisted of a soft magnetic material and a permanent magnet. When exposed to a low frequency AC magnetic field, the soft magnetic material generated secondary magnetic fields that also included the higher-order harmonic modes. Parameters of intere...

Several surveys showed that cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with incidents that negatively affect outcome and suggested that improved monitoring and safety could be associated with a decreased rate of incidents. In 2004, the French "Haute Autorité de Santé" (an independent French government advisory agency) and the French College of Perfusion issued recommendations concerning safety ...

Many urban areas in China are affected by land subsidence. The Permanent Scatterers (PS) technique [1], [2] is a powerful tool for monitoring terrain motions by means of space-born radar data on a large number of coherent targets. Core idea of the PS technique is the exploitation of a high density of measure points (usually but not necessarily corresponding to man-made objects) in order to esti...
