Ground reaction force (GRF) is a key metric in biomechanical research, including parameters of loading rate (LR), first impact peak, second impact peak, and transient between first and second impact peaks in heel strike runners. The GRFs vary over time during stance. This study was aimed to investigate the variances of GRFs in rearfoot striking runners across incremental speeds. Thirty female and male runners joined the running tests on the instrumented treadmill with speeds of 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, and 3.7 m/s. The discrete parameters of vertical average loading rate in the current study are consistent with the literature findings. The principal component analysis was modeled to investigate the main variances (95%) in the GRFs over stance. The females varied in the magnitude of braking and propulsive forces (PC1, 84.93%), whereas the male runners varied in the timing of propulsion (PC1, 53.38%). The female runners dominantly varied in the transient between the first and second peaks of vertical GRF (PC1, 36.52%) and LR (PC2, 33.76%), whereas the males variated in the LR and second peak of vertical GRF (PC1, 78.69%). Knowledge reported in the current study suggested the difference of the magnitude and patterns of GRF between male and female runners across different speeds. These findings may have implications for the prevention of sex-specific running-related injuries and could be integrated with wearable signals for the in-field prediction and estimation of impact loadings and GRFs.

Abstract The gait assessment is instrumental for evaluating the efficiency of rehabilitation of persons with a motor impairment of the lower extremities. The protocol for quantifying the gait performance needs to be simple and easy to implement; therefore, a wearable system and user-friendly computer program are preferable. We used the Gait Master (instrumented insoles) with the industrial quality ground reaction forces (GRF) sensors and 6D inertial measurement units (IMU). WiFi transmitted 10 signals from the GRF sensors and 12 signals from the accelerometers and gyroscopes to the host computer. The clinician was following in real-time the acquired data to be assured that the WiFi operated correctly. We developed a method that uses principal component analysis (PCA) to provide a clinician with easy to interpret cyclograms showing the difference between the recorded and healthy-like gait performance. The cyclograms formed by the first two principal components in the PCA space show the step-to-step reproducibility. We suggest that a cyclogram and its orientation to the coordinate system PC1 vs. PC2 allow a simple assessment of the gait. We show results for six healthy persons and five patients with hemiplegia.

Abstrak,  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendeteksi kandungan dan kadar formalin pada buah tomat dengan menggunakan instrument berbasis teknologi Electronic nose. Penelitian ini menggunakan buah tomat yang telah direndam dengan formalin dengan kadar 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, dan buah tomat tanpa perendaman dengan formalin (0%). Jumlah sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah sebanyak 18 sampel. Pengukuran spektrum beras menggunakan sensor Piezoelectric Tranducer. Klasifikasi data spektrum buah tomat menggunakan metode Principal Component Analysis (PCA) dengan pretreatment nya adalah Gap Reduction. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh yaitu: Hidung elektronik mulai merespon aroma formalin pada buah tomat pada detik ke-8.14, dan dapat mengklasifikasikan kandungan dan kadar formalin pada buah tomat pada detik ke 25.77. Hidung elektronik yang dikombinasikan dengan metode principal component analysis (PCA) telah berhasil mendeteksikandungan dan kadar formalin pada buah tomat dengan tingkat keberhasilan sebesar 99% (PC-1 sebesar 93% dan PC-2 sebesar 6%). Perbedaan kadar formalin menjadi faktor utama yang menyebabkan Elektronik nose mampu membedakan sampel buah tomat yang diuji, karena semakin tinggi kadar formalin pada buah tomat maka aroma khas dari buah tomat pun semakin menghilang, sehingga Electronic nose yang berbasis kemampuan penciuman dapat membedakannya.Detect Formaldehyde on Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) With Electronic Nose TechnologyAbstract, The purpose of this study is to detect the contents and levels of formalin in tomatoes by using instruments based on Electronic nose technology. This study used tomatoes that have been soaked in formalin with a concentration of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and tomatoes without soaking with formalin (0%). The samples in this study were 18 samples. The measurements of the intensity on tomatoes aroma were using Piezoelectric Transducer sensors. The classification of tomato spectrum data was using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method with Gap Reduction pretreatment. The results of this study were obtained: the Electronic nose began to respond the smell of formalin on tomatoes at 8.14 seconds, and it could classify the content and formalin levels in tomatoes at 25.77 seconds. Electronic nose combined with the principal component analysis (PCA) method have successfully detected the content and levels of formalin in tomatoes with a success rate at 99% (PC-1 of 93% and PC-2 of 6%). The difference of grade formalin levels is the main factor that causes Electronic nose to be able to distinguish the tomato samples tested, because the higher of formalin content in tomatoes, the distinctive of tomatoes aroma is increasingly disappearing. Thereby, the Electronic nose based on  the olfactory ability can distinguish them.

Research on "man-machine interface" has increased in many fields of engineering and its application to facial expressions recognition is expected. The eigenface method by using the principal component analysis (PCA) is popular in this research field. However, it is not easy to compute eigenvectors with a large matrix if the cost of calculation when applying it for time-varying processing is taken into consideration. In this paper, in order to achieve high-speed PCA, the simple principal component analysis (SPCA) is applied to compress the dimensionality of portions that constitute a face. A value of cos θ is calculated using an eigenvector by SPCA as well as a gray-scale image vector of each picture pattern. By using neural networks (NNs), the difference in the value of cos θ between the true and the false (plastic) smiles is clarified and the true smile is discriminated. Finally, in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed face classification method for true or false smiles, computer simulations are done with real images. Furthermore, an experiment using the self-organisation map (SOM) is also conducted as a comparison.

AbstractSequence data is now widely used to observe relationships among organisms. However, understanding structure of the qualitative data is challenging. Conventionally, the relationships are analysed using a dendrogram that estimates a tree shape. This approach has difficulty in verifying the appropriateness of the tree shape; rather, horizontal gene transfers and mating can make the shape of the relationship as networks. As a connection-free approach, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to summarize the distance matrix, which records distances between each combination of samples. However, this approach is limited regarding the treatment of information of sequence motifs; distances caused by different motifs are mixed up. This hides clues to figure out how the samples are different. As any bases may change independently, a sequence is multivariate data essentially. Hence, differences among samples and bases that contribute to the difference should be observed coincidentally. To archive this, the sequence matrix is transferred to boolean vector and directly analysed by using PCA. The effects are confirmed in diversity of Asiatic lion and human as well as environmental DNA. Resolution of samples and robustness of calculation is improved. Relationship of a direction of difference and causative nucleotides has become obvious at a glance.

Quantifying the abnormal degree of each instance within data sets to detect outlying instances, is an issue in unsupervised anomaly detection research. In this paper, we propose a robust anomaly detection method based on principal component analysis (PCA). Traditional PCA-based detection algorithms commonly obtain a high false alarm for the outliers. The main reason is that ignores the difference of location and scale to each component of the outlier score, this leads to the cumulated outlier score deviates from the true values. To address the issue, we introduce the median and the Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) to rescale each outlier score that mapped onto the corresponding principal direction. And then, the true outlier scores of instances can be obtained as the sum of weighted squares of the rescaled scores. Also, the issue that the assignment of the weight for each outlier score will be solved. The main advantage of our new approach is easy to build with unsupervised data and the recognition performance is better than the classical PCA-based methods. We compare our method to the five different anomaly detection techniques, including two traditional PCA-based methods, in our experiment analysis. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a good performance for effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness.
