Three centres contributed to recording 12 lead ECGs on identical digital electrocardiographs. Apparently healthy volunteers were recruited and ECGs were first transferred to a local database and then to Glasgow where all ECGs were analysed by the same University of Glasgow ECG Interpretation Program. A total of 963 individuals were recruited into the study (30.4% female) with an age range of 18-83years. QRS duration was longer in males than females, QT interval was longer in females than males, and QRS voltages in general were higher in males than females and in younger compared to older individuals. Findings in general paralleled those in other populations and suggested that criteria for a white Caucasian population could be applied to a South Asian Indian population.

Design/methodology/approach – The approach is helpful for performing means-end analysis, thereby uncovering the structural origin of security risks in information systems, and how the root-causes of such risks can be controlled from the early stages of the

The framework suggests that supply chain flexibility should be implemented and managed using a three-stage approach: required flexibility identification, implementation and shared responsibility, and feedback and control. Design/methodology/approach – The major components of the proposed framework

Two wavelets have been used, i.e. a quadratic spline wavelet (QSWT) for QRS detection and the Daubechies six coefficient (DU6) wavelet for P and T detection. After detecting the fundamental electrocardiogram waves, the desired electrocardiogram parameters for

CAD–CAM techniques based on solid/geometric modeling have been developed for this purpose. Primarily, these methods capture the shape of the object. However, recent developments in diverse fields demand modeling schemes, which extend beyond the shape to include other relevant attributes of the object. In this paper, this issue

However, there is need for a systematic approach to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness and the impact of these programs. Systems approach to the program evaluation enables the evaluators to conduct the evaluability assessment of these programs as a prelude to conducting further evaluative activities. This

First, the region of interest (ROI) in mammogram is enhanced using morphological enhancement (MORPHEN) method. Second, pixels in potential microcalcification regions are segmented out by using edge detection and morphological operations. Third, features based on shape, texture and statistical properties are

The present paper deals with the direct data compression (DDC) methods as applied to ECG data. The performance has been evaluated on the basis of compression ratio, percent-root-mean-square difference and fidelity of the reconstructed signal. Further, in order to know

The PNN is trained, using the back propagation algorithm, on non-QRS portions of the ECG to predict the signal one-step ahead. High prediction error is then taken as an indication of the occurrence of a QRS complex. A simple peak detection logic is
