Photoplethysmography Indices and Their Link to Premature Ventricular Complexes on ECG

The search for non-invasive and accessible markers of cardiovascular function has driven the exploration of innovative technologies, with photoplethysmography (PPG) emerging as a promising tool. Traditionally used for detecting pulse and oxygen saturation, PPG waveforms also contain valuable information about blood circulation. This single-subject, retrospective signal analysis aimed to investigate the correlation between a set of novel PPG-derived Blood Flow Indices (BFIs) and the occurrence of Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVCs).

Modeling transport and fate of heavy metals at the watershed scale: State-of-the-art and future directions

A predictive understanding of the source-specific (e.g., point and diffuse sources) land-to-river heavy metal (HM) loads and HM dynamics in rivers is essential for mitigating river pollution and developing effective river basin management strategies.

Energy Saving Strategies in Mine Cooling: Distributed vs Centralized Cooling Systems

The cost of deep underground mine cooling depends on a number of geological, environmental and economic factors such as the temperature gradient in the mine, the outside air temperature, and the local price of energy.  While geological factors, being static, can be controlled to some extent during the mine design, the environmental and economic factors...

Sustainable Heat Extraction from Abandoned Mine Tunnels: A Numerical Model

Abandoned mines are often associated with enduring liabilities, which involve significant costs for decades after the decommissioning of the mine. Using a decommissioned mine as a geothermal resource can offset the environmental costs by supplying green heat to the communities living in and around the mine area.

Influence of impact velocity on fragmentation and the energy efficiency of comminution

Comminution processes such as crushing and grinding are essential stages in mining and mineral processing operations to reduce the size of ore and rock, and to liberate the valuable mineral for beneficiation. Comminution is energy-intensive and responsible for most of the energy used during mineral recovery.
