It is not only a problem for old age anyone. So, blood pressure is the one provides importance information with vital signs about cardiovascular health using oscillometric method. Unfortunately, this method required inflation and following deflation of the cuff. This method only gives instantaneous blood pressure and continuous measurement is not available. It is not available to the patients that required long term monitoring. To overcome this problem, the development of Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) algorithm based on Pulse Transit Time (PTT) using two channel Photoplethysmograph (PPG) is proposed in this study. PPG is a non-invasive device for detecting blood volume changes can be affected by various physiological factors, analysis of the PPG signal can provide sufficient information on the human health condition; more specifically their cardio-vascular related performance. Literatures show that the PTT has linear relationship with blood pressure. Nevertheless, the determination of the model structure, order and real-time implementation to offer a continuous measurement of the PTT still remains challenging tasks in this area. PTT can be as index to monitor cardiovascular disease. In this project, dynamic model based on pulse transit time will be proposed to continuously monitor blood pressure by using PPG signals. Different kind of resolutions in microcontroller combined with PPG sensor will be used as well. MATLAB software is also been applied for PTT calculation based on two PPG sensors. PPG is method for detect blood volume changes with optical source transmitter send from one end and received the signal from another by receiver through body tissue as medium. MATLAB functions as Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for signals received in computer. Linear Regression technique and Fung's algorithm are applied to obtain the best fit line for all the points in order to systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement. The results showed that the algorithm based on pulse transit time has been developed for the assessment of blood pressure and justify patient’ condition with 86.34% and 88.20% accuracy. Finally, this technique is a simple, user friendly and operator independent PPG system suitable for long term and wearable blood pressure monitor.

Recently developed stem flow gauges that allow for direct, accurate, non-invasive, and continuous measurement of plant sap flow rates have not been used to monitor transpiration of floricultural plants grown in greenhouses.A Dynamax SGA10 heat-balance sap-flow sensor was mounted on a potted rose plant's main stem containing a total leaf area of 0.52 m in order to monitor transpiration. The sensor was connected to a CR21X Micrologger for data calculation and temporary storage. The results showed average midday sap-flow rates range from 20-30 g·hr-1 to 50-70 g·hr-1 at low and high levels of PPF, respectively. Nighttime levels of 4-7 g·hr-1 persisted throughout early winter trials. Monitoring transpiration of the same rose stem using a lysimeter revealed a significant linear correlation (r2 = 0.999) between the lysimeter and the stem flow gauge values.In the future, research will be conducted with the gauge to investigate relationships between microclimatic variables, photosynthesis, and transpiration.

Three Dimensional Images

We have developed a new X-ray microscope which produces complete three dimensional images of samples. The microscope operates by performing X-ray tomography with unprecedented resolution. Tomography is a non-invasive imaging technique that creates maps of the internal structure of samples from measurement of the attenuation of penetrating radiation. As conventionally practiced in medical Computed Tomography (CT), radiologists produce maps of bone and tissue structure in several planar sections that reveal features with 1mm resolution and 1% contrast. Microtomography extends the capability of CT in several ways. First, the resolution which approaches one micron, is one thousand times higher than that of the medical CT. Second, our approach acquires and analyses the data in a panoramic imaging format that directly produces three-dimensional maps in a series of contiguous stacked planes. Typical maps available today consist of three hundred planar sections each containing 512x512 pixels. Finally, and perhaps of most import scientifically, microtomography using a synchrotron X-ray source, allows us to generate maps of individual element.

Listening, a significant dimension of the behavior of hearing-impaired children, may be measured directly by recording childrens' responses to obtain audio narrations programmed via a conjugate reinforcement system. Twelve hearing-impaired, school-aged children responded in varying ways to the opportunity to listen. Direct and continuous measurement of listening has relevance for evaluation of remediation methods and for discovery of variables potentially related to listening.
