A Cross-Stage Partial Network and a Cross-Attention-Based Transformer for an Electrocardiogram-Based Cardiovascular Disease Decision System

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death globally.Currently, clinical diagnosis of CVD primarily relies on electrocardiograms (ECG), which are relatively easier to identify compared to other diagnostic methods.However, ensuring the accuracy of ECG readings requires specialized training for healthcare professionals.Therefor

Microbiological characterization, nutritional value and digestibility of black oat hay with crotalaria or corn as predecessors

ABSTRACT: The present study assessed the influence of the preceding crop (crotalaria or corn) on the bromatological, digestibility and microbiological aspects of the 546 EMBRAPA 139 black oat hay (Avena strigosa) cultivar.A randomized block design was used, with subplots divided according to time, whereby the preceding crop (crotalaria or corn) was

Improving Muscle Force Distribution Model Using Reflex Excitation: Toward a Model-Based Exoskeleton Torque Optimization Approach

In this study, we improve the existing model for force distribution over the muscles by considering reflex excitation as a nonvoluntary mechanism of our neuromuscular system.The improved model can explain the large difference between biological torque and experimentally optimized assistive torque profiles.Accordingly, we hypothesize that the ȁ
