Vascular Access (VA) is often referred to as the “Achilles heel” for a Hemodialysis (HD)-dependent patient. Both the patent and sufficient VA provide adequacy for performing dialysis and reducing dialysis-related complications, while on the contrary, insufficient VA is the main reason for recurrent hospitalizations, high morbidity, and high mortality in HD patients. A non-invasive Vascular Wall Motion (VWM) monitoring system, made up of a pulse radar sensor and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithm, has been developed to detect access flow dysfunction in Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF). The harmonic ratios derived from the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum-based signal processing technique were employed as the input features for the SVM classifier. The result of a pilot clinical trial showed that a more accurate prediction of AVF flow dysfunction could be achieved by the VWM monitor as compared with the Ultrasound Dilution (UD) flow monitor. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the SVM classification algorithm achieved a detection specificity of 100% at detection thresholds in the range from 500 to 750 mL/min and a maximum sensitivity of 95.2% at a detection threshold of 750 mL/min.

A restoration and classification computation for blurred image which depends on obscure identification and characterization is proposed in this paper. Initially, new obscure location calculation is proposed to recognize the Gaussian, Motion and Defocus based blurred locales in the image. The degradation-restoration model referred with pre-processing followed by binarization and features extraction/classification algorithm applied on obscure images. At this point, support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithm is proposed to cluster the blurred images. Once the obscure class of the locales is affirmed, the structure of the obscure kernels of the blurred images are affirmed. At that point, the obscure kernel estimation techniques are embraced to appraise the obscure kernels. At last, the blurred locales are re-established utilizing nonblind image deblurring calculation and supplant the blurred images with the restored images. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed calculation performs well

Fraudulent e-wallet deposit notification SMSes designed to steal money and goods from m-banking users have become pervasive in Namibia. Motivated by an observed lack of mobile applications to protect users from such deceptions, this study evaluated the ability of machine learning to detect the fraudulent e-wallet deposit notification SMSes. The naïve Bayes (NB) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers were trained to classify both ham (desired) SMSes and scam (fraudulent) e-wallet deposit notification SMSes. The performances of the two classifier models were then evaluated. The results revealed that the SVM classifier model could detect the fraudulent SMSes more efficiently than the NB classifier.

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) - the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia - while not a life-threatening condition itself, leads to an increased risk of stroke and high rates of mortality. Early detection and diagnosis of AF is a critical issue for all health stakeholders. Purpose The aim of this study is to identify P-wave morphology patterns encountered in patients with Paroxysmal AF (PAF) and to develop a classifier discriminating PAF patients from healthy volunteers. Methods Three-dimensional 1000Hz ECG signals of 5 minutes duration were obtained through the use of a Galix GBI-3S Holter monitor from a total of 68 PAF patients and 52 healthy individuals. Signal pre-processing, consisting of denoising, QRS auto-detection, and ectopic beats removal was performed and a signal window of 250ms prior to the Q-wave (Pseg) was considered for every single beat. P‑wave morphology analysis based on the dynamic application of the k‑means clustering process was performed. For those Pseg that were assigned in the largest cluster, the mean P-wave was computed. The correlation of every P-wave with the mean P-wave of the main cluster was calculated. In case that it exceeded a prespecified threshold, the P-wave was allocated to the main morphology. For the remaining P‑waves, the same approach was followed once again, and the secondary morphology was extracted (picture). The P-waves of the dominant morphology were further analyzed using wavelet transform, whereas time-domain characteristics were also extracted. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) model was created using the Gaussian Radial Basis Function kernel and the forward feature selection wrapper approach was followed. ECGs were allocated to the training, internal validation, and testing datasets in a 3:1:1 ratio. Results The percentage of P-waves following the main morphology in all three leads was lower in PAF patients (91.2 ±7.3%) than in healthy subjects (96.1 ±3.5%, p = 0.02). Classification between the two groups highlighted 7 features, while the SVM classifier resulted in a balanced accuracy of 91.4 ± 0.2% (sensitivity 94.2 ± 0.3%, specificity 88.6 ± 0.1%) Conclusion An Artificial Intelligence based ECG Classifier can efficiently identify PAF patients during normal sinus rhythm.

AbstractInvasive alien species (IAS) threaten tropical grasslands and native biodiversity and impact ecosystem service delivery, ecosystem function, and associated human livelihoods. Tropical grasslands have been dramatically and disproportionately lost to invasion by trees. The invasion continues to move rapidly into the remaining fragmented grasslands impacting various native grassland-dependent species and water streamflow in tropical montane habitats. The Shola Sky Islands of the Western Ghats host a mosaic of native grasslands and forests; of which the grasslands have been lost to exotic tree invasion (Acacias, Eucalyptus and Pines) since the 1950s. The invasion intensities, however, differ between these species wherein Acacia mearnsii and Pinus patula are highly invasive in contrast to Eucalyptus globulus. These disparities necessitate distinguishing these species for effective grassland restoration. Further, these invasive alien trees are highly intermixed with native species, thus requiring high discrimination abilities to native species apart from the non-native species.Here we assess the accuracy of various satellite and airborne remote sensing sensors and machine learning classification algorithms to identify the spatial extent of native habitats and invasive trees. Specifically, we test Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral data and assess high spatial and spectral resolution AVIRIS-NG imagery identifying invasive species across this landscape. Sensor combinations thus include hyperspectral, multispectral and radar data and present tradeoffs in associated costs and ease of procurement. Classification methods tested include Support Vector Machine (SVM), Classification and Regression Trees (CART) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms implemented on the Google Earth Engine platform. Results indicate that AVIRIS-NG data in combination with SVM recover the highest classification skill (Overall −98%, Kappa-0.98); while CART and RF yielded < 90% accuracy. Fused Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 produce 91% accuracy, while Sentinel-2 alone yielded 91% accuracy with RF and SVM classification; but only with higher coverage of ground control points. AVIRIS-NG imagery was able to accurately (97%) demarcate the Acacia invasion front while Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data failed. Our results suggest that Sentinel-2 images could be useful for detecting the native and non-native forests with more ground truth points, but hyperspectral data (AVIRIS-NG) permits distinguishing, native and non-native tree species and recent invasions with high precision using limited ground truth points. We suspect that large areas will have to be mapped and assessed in the coming years by conservation managers, NGOs to plan restoration, or to assess the success of restoration activities, and several data procurement and analysis steps may have to be simplified.

A portable, wireless photoplethysomography (PPG) sensor for assessing arteriovenous fistula (AVF) by using class-weighted support vector machines (SVM) was presented in this study. Nowadays, in hospital, AVF are assessed by ultrasound Doppler machines, which are bulky, expensive, complicated-to-operate, and time-consuming. In this study, new PPG sensors were proposed and developed successfully to provide portable and inexpensive solutions for AVF assessments. To develop the sensor, at first, by combining the dimensionless number analysis and the optical Beer Lambert’s law, five input features were derived for the SVM classifier. In the next step, to increase the signal-noise ratio (SNR) of PPG signals, the front-end readout circuitries were designed to fully use the dynamic range of analog-digital converter (ADC) by controlling the circuitries gain and the light intensity of light emitted diode (LED). Digital signal processing algorithms were proposed next to check and fix signal anomalies. Finally, the class-weighted SVM classifiers employed five different kernel functions to assess AVF quality. The assessment results were provided to doctors for diagonosis and detemining ensuing proper treatments. The experimental results showed that the proposed PPG sensors successfully achieved an accuracy of 89.11% in assessing health of AVF and with a type II error of only 9.59%.

Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of the Brain is a significant tool to diagnosis Alzheimer's disease due to its ability to measure regional changes in the brain that reflect disease progression to detect early stages of the disease. In this paper, we propose a new model that adopts Bat for parameter optimization problem of Support vector machine (SVM) to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease via MRI biomedical image. The proposed model uses MRI for biomedical image classification to diagnose three classes; normal controls (NC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The proposed model based on segmentation for the most involved areas in the disease hippocampus, the features of MRI brain images are extracted to build feature vector of the brain, then extracting the most significant features in neuroimaging to reduce the high dimensional space of MRI images to lower dimensional subspace, and submitted to machine learning classification technique. Moreover, the model is applied on different datasets to validate the efficiency which show that the new Bat-SVM model can yield promising acceptable level of accuracy reached to 95.36 % using maximum number of bats equal to 50 and number of generation equal to 10.
