The visual analysis of Nailfold Capillary images manually requires trained medical staff and also, the intra-observer variations can be very high. A computer assisted capillary analysis reduces this burden to a great extent. The authors propose an automated system using advanced techniques such...

This paper uses data acquired from a visit to ASHA (Academy for Severe Handicaps and Autism), a charitable trust in Bengaluru. The response of the students at ASHA to three different games was obtained for statistical analysis. They were assessed on three different parameters namely time,...

The aim of this paper is to find the best intelligent model that allows predicting the future of premature newborns according to their electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG is a signal that measures the electrical activity of the brain. In this paper, the authors used a dataset of 397 EEG records...

The electrical impedance between skin-electrodes placed at the intact skin can be a source of artefacts when small electrical voltages such as ECG- and EEG-signals are recorded. This is mainly due to random variations of the electrical properties of the electrode-skin interface. To reduce the...

Breast cancer is considered as one of the life-threatening disease among woman population in developing as well as developed countries. This specific study reports on classification of breast thermograms using probabilistic neural network (PNN) with four statistical moments features mean,...

Digital microfluidic technology has been extensively applied in various biomedical fields. Different from application-specific biochips, a programmable design has several advantages such as dynamic reconfigurability and general applicability. Basically, a programmable biochip divides the chip...

This paper presents a novel security architecture for protecting the integrity of facial signature images and templates using watermarking and Visual Cryptography (VC). The proposed scheme offers a complete protection framework for the facial signature biometrics consists of two stages: the...

Thyroid uptake study is a technique that requires injection of a radio-isotope/radiotracer emitting gamma rays into the blood stream of the patient to study the functionality of thyroid in accordance to its uptake. The Gamma Camera uses a LEAP (Low Energy All Purpose) collimator which handles...

The objective of this work is to evaluate the biomechanical effects of footwear on steady state walking of a user. An initial subjective preference of the footwear was identified which was validated biomechanically in relation to the kinetic parameters of gait. The subject underwent 3D gait...

In neonatal jaundice, plasma bilirubin has to be measured repeatedly in order to direct phototherapy. Invasive determination is standard. The authors delineate a concept for the non-invasive spectrophotometric determination of absolute plasma bilirubin concentration. By referencing the pulsatile...
