By means of analysis of the heart rate variability method (HRV) it was discovered that the HRV rates (total capacity of the Tp spectrum, the squared deviation SDNN, high-frequency component HF) of the rats, which had the implanted tumor PC-1 were decreasing in comparison with the control group (the rats without a tumor), which indicated a significant sympathizing of the vegetal tonus. The use of stress-tests (the orthostatic test, short-term immobilization) led to statistically significant variation of HRV rates, which also differed from the control group. It was demonstrated that the low-frequency components LF of the spectrum of the tumor-bearing animals decreased in response to functional stress, which signified the disorder of tonus regulation in autonomic nervous system, i.e. the changing of sympathizing over to parasympathizing, the breakdown of adaptive response.

Sounds can induce autonomic responses in listeners. However, the modulatory effect of specific frequency components of music is not fully understood. Here, we examined the role of the frequency component of music on autonomic responses. Specifically, we presented music that had been amplified in the high- or low-frequency domains. Twelve healthy women listened to white noise, a stress-inducing noise, and then one of three versions of a piece of music: original, low-, or high-frequency amplified. To measure autonomic response, we calculated the high-frequency normalized unit (HFnu), low-frequency normalized unit, and the LF/HF ratio from the heart rate using electrocardiography. We defined the stress recovery ratio as the value obtained after participants listened to music following scratching noise, normalized by the value obtained after participants listened to white noise after the stress noise, in terms of the HFnu, low-frequency normalized unit, LF/HF ratio, and heart rate. Results indicated that high-frequency amplified music had the highest HFnu of the three versions. The stress recovery ratio of HFnu under the high-frequency amplified stimulus was significantly larger than that under the low-frequency stimulus. Our results suggest that the high-frequency component of music plays a greater role in stress relief than low-frequency components.

In August–September, 2018 in the Pechora Sea during the 38th flight of NIS “Academician Nikolay Strakhov” complex geologic-geophysical researches were conducted. Magnetic survey was carried out along with seismic profiling where as the radiator of elastic fluctuations the electrospark Sparker radiator was used. The group of a sea magnetometry was faced by a problem of mapping of the top layer of a sedimentary cover, including allocation of zones of development of thin deposits, buried paleochannels, zones of jointing and geological explosive violations. Hydromagnetic survey and interpretation of the received materials was as a result executed that allowed to estimate spectral structure of the abnormal magnetic field (AMF) and to allocate three frequency components to which there corresponds the deep range of sources of the field. Leaning on the received estimates of depths, and comparing them to the description of wells, also temporary bindings for the allocated deep ranges of sources of magnetic field were defined. High-frequency component, there corresponds the arrangement of sources of AMF in the topmost part of a section. The top edges of sources lie in the range of depths from 35 to 70 m that possibly correspond to deposits of pleystotsenovy age. It is possible that the thin deposits created during the last Valdai freezing can be sources of these high-frequency anomalies. The second deep range is created by sources of AMF the top edges of which are located in the range of depths of 260–510 m that possibly corresponds to stratigrafichesky range from top Yura to the lower chalk. The third, the deep range of bedding of the top edges of sources of AMF allocated by authors is determined by the most low-frequency part of a range and according to authors reflects the late Devonian stage of activization of magmatism.

In multi-modality image fusion, source image decomposition, such as multi-scale transform (MST), is a necessary step and also widely used. However, when MST is directly used to decompose source images into high- and low-frequency components, the corresponding decomposed components are not precise enough for the following infrared-visible fusion operations. This paper proposes a non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) based decomposition method for image fusion, by which source images are decomposed to obtain corresponding high- and low-frequency sub-bands. Unlike MST, the obtained high-frequency sub-bands have different decomposition layers, and each layer contains different information. In order to obtain a more informative fused high-frequency component, maximum absolute value and pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) fusion rules are applied to different sub-bands of high-frequency components. Activity measures, such as phase congruency (PC), local measure of sharpness change (LSCM), and local signal strength (LSS), are designed to enhance the detailed features of fused low-frequency components. The fused high- and low-frequency components are integrated to form a fused image. The experiment results show that the fused images obtained by the proposed method achieve good performance in clarity, contrast, and image information entropy.

Hydrogen bonding in aqueous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) solutions was studied by Raman spectroscopy of the OH-stretching spectra of water as functions of solute concentration and temperature (from –50 to 50 °C). The Raman spectra were decomposed successfully into two components (the low- and high-frequency components). The peak area ratio of the low-frequency component to the high-frequency component increases exponentially with decreasing temperature. The frequency of the low-frequency component decreases linearly with lowering temperature down to –50 °C at all solute concentrations (solute mol fraction from 0.3 to 0.7). It is shown that the hydrogen bonds in the clathrate structures around DMA molecules are stronger than those around DMF molecules.Key words: Raman spectrum, DMF, DMA, aqueous solution, low temperature.

Accounting for the disastrous phenomena of ice-accreted conductor galloping, wind tunnel tests of LGJ630/45 conductor accreted with crescent-shaped ice are conducted. Based on the test results, conductor galloping is simulated by employing the PCL language of ANSYS commercial software package and then the influences of span lengths as well as free-stream speeds on galloping characteristics are studied. The results indicate that, conductor galloping consists several different frequency components. With the increase of span length, galloping energy moves from low-frequency component to its high-frequency counterpart, and finally high-frequency component dominates the galloping phenomenon. And with the movement of energy, galloping traces transforms from ellipse to that similar to a butterfly. With the increase of span length, the maximum cable tension first increases, next decreases sharply, and then increases again.

The new design method of the automated classifying system for electrocardiograms recognition (ECG) of healthy and ill patients, based only on high-frequency components of ECG signal with the use of statistical images recognition is offered. Cardiograms of two groups of patients were studied: healthy and those who came through myocardial infarction. The first step of classification method is ECG wavelet decomposition to the 4th level and allocation of four high-frequency ECG components. The choice of the 4th decomposing level is explained by the fact that the first four high-frequency components represent high ECG frequencies from 30 to 350 Hz, and low-frequency component represents the undistorted smoothed ECG signal cleared of high-frequency oscillations. In case of more deep signal expansion the following high-frequency component has frequency spectrum to 30 Hz, and low frequency component is significantly distorted. For each of the first four components of wavelet decomposition there is a number of ECG numerical signs, including energy, entropy and frequency characteristics, 21 signs in total. During the second step reduction of the dimensionality of the feature space by using scatter matrix is made for two chosen ECG groups. It has turned out that the reduced feature space is one-dimensional. Histograms of values of this one-dimensional feature for groups of healthy and ill patients are constructed. The third step is finding of the dividing constant which is able to distinguish both groups of ECG records. For testing 96 ECG records of patients with normal cardiograms and 120 ECG records of the patients who came through myocardial infarction are used. Only three features (3%) of 96 given features values of the first group are referred by the classifier to patients group and only 20 features (< 17%) of 120 given features values of the second patients group are referred by the classifier to ECG group of healthy patients. Considering that for each patient the system determines 12 features by 12 standard assignments, testing results show well classification accuracy.

To clarify the physiological and psychological effects of deep breathing, the effects of extreme prolongation of expiration breathing (Okinaga) were investigated using electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG). Participants were five male Okinaga practitioners in their 50s and 60s. Participants performed Okinaga for 31 minutes while continuous EEG and ECG measurements were taken. After 16 minutes of Okinaga, and until the end of the session, the percentages of theta and alpha 2 waves were significantly higher than at baseline. After 20 minutes, and until the end of the session, the percentage of beta waves was significantly lower than at baseline. The high frequency component of heart rate variability was significantly lower after 12 minutes of Okinaga and lasted until 23 minutes. The low frequency/high frequency ratio was significantly lower after 18 minutes of Okinaga and until the end of the session. Okinaga produced relaxation, suggesting that deep breathing may relieve anxiety. However, study limitations include potential ambiguity in the interpretation of the low frequency/high frequency ratio, the small sample, and the fact that EEG was measured only on the forehead.

In this paper, we present a modified discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based channel estimation method. The conventional DFT-based method will produce additional high frequency component in the channel impulse response, and degrade the accuracy of channel estimation. The modified algorithm can eliminate additional high frequency components by extending the LS estimate in frequency domain with a symmetric signal of its own, and selects the useful paths by calculating the changing rate of energy. Thus, the proposed algorithm become more accurate. The simulation results show the new algorithm can reduce the influence of noise on channel estimation efficiently, and the performance of the improved method is better than the LS and conventional DFT algorithm.

Tinnitus patients suffer from not only auditory sensations but also physical, mental, and social difficulties. Even though tinnitus is believed to be associated with the autonomic nervous system, changes in autonomic conditions in tinnitus patients are not receiving much research attention. The aims of this study were to investigate the autonomic condition of tinnitus patients and to consider Korean medicine in the treatment of tinnitus with an evidence-based approach. We performed a retrospective chart review and compared the heart rate variability (HRV) parameters of 40 tinnitus patients (19 acute and 21 chronic) and 40 healthy controls. In tinnitus patients, the power of the high frequency component and total power of the HRV significantly decreased(P<0.05), and the low frequency to high frequency ratio significantly increased(P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the acute and chronic patients. When comparing each group with the controls, there was a tendency that the longer the duration of tinnitus was, the larger the observed HRV change was. In conclusion, tinnitus patients have vagal withdrawal and sympathetic overactivity, and chronic tinnitus more strongly affects autonomic conditions than acute tinnitus. This study provides evidence for Korean medical treatments of tinnitus, such as acupuncture and Qi-training, that cause modulation of cardiac autonomic function.
