Markers of Brain Damage in Severe Concomitant Injury by Ye. V. Grigoryev, Ye. A. Kameneva, T. G. Grishanova, M. N. Deragin, A. V. Budayev

“…The paper describes a clinical case of early enteral feeding with an immune formula in a patient with significant heart failure after cardiosurgical intervention who is on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The safety and efficiency of nutritional support were monitored, by estimating blood acid-base balance and oxygenation level and by controlling the residual gastric volume, which enabled the volume of the given enteral mixture to be increased up to 2600 kcal by day 3, by providing the body’s energy needs determined by calculation techniques. …”

Dynamic switching based real-time routing in low-duty-cycle wireless sensor networks by Quan CHEN, Hong GAO

“…The dynamic switching based real-time(DSRT)routing protocol was proposed to handle the arbitrary end-to-end(E2E)real-time communication in the low-duty-cycle wireless sensor networks.Firstly,the concept of available speed was designed to compensate for the big sleep latency and facilitate discovering the routes with less latency based on two-hop neighbors’ information(at lease about 20% routing path with less latency was discovered by DRST in the experiments).Moreover,it was noticed that the congestion extent in the low-duty-cycle network was determined not only by the number of packets in the network output queue,but also the destination of the packets.However,the traditional method with one-hop neighbors’ information cannot differentiate this kind of congestion.Therefore,combined with the dynamic switching mechanism,the DSRT proposed a congestion avoiding algorithm by classifying the packets in the queue.Through comprehensive experiments,the efficiency of routing discovering and congestion avoiding of the DSRT protocol is demonstrated,and the E2E delay is decreased by at least 200% when the traffic was high.…”

Blind Parameter Identification of MAR Model and Mutation Hybrid GWO-SCA Optimized SVM for Fault Diagnosis of Rotating Machinery by Wenlong Fu, Jiawen Tan, Xiaoyuan Zhang, Tie Chen, Kai Wang

“…Signals collected from different types of faults were firstly split into sets of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by variational mode decomposition (VMD), the decomposing mode number K of which was preset with central frequency observation method. Then the multivariate autoregressive (MAR) model of all IMFs was established, whose order was determined by Schwartz Bayes Criterion (SBC), and all parameters of the model were identified blindly through QR decomposition, where key features were subsequently extracted via principal component analysis (PCA) to construct feature vectors of different fault types. …”
