The Impact

Image restoration is the method of restoring an image to its original state by removing noise and blur. Image disclarity is crucial to maintain in a variety of cases, including photography, where motion blur is caused by camera shake when taking images, radar imaging, where the impact of image system reaction is removed, and so on. Image noise is an unwanted signal that appears in an image from a sensor, such as a power / energy signal, or from the atmosphere, such as rain or snow. Coding artefacts, resolution limitations, transmission noise, object motion, camera shake, or a confluence of events could cause image degradation. With the intention of separating HF and LF objects, image decomposition is used to decompose the distorted image into a pattern layer (High Frequency Component) and a framework layer (Low Frequency Component).

The Impact

An experimental investigation of the transonic flow past the laminar OALT25 airfoil has been conducted to analyze the impact of laminar flow upon the shock wave dynamics and the existence of a laminar buffet like phenomenon. Tests have been carried out at freestream Mach numbers varying in the range of 0.7–0.8, angle of attack from 0.5° to 4°, and with two tripping configurations at the upper surface of the wing. The (airfoil) chord based Reynolds number is about three million. Results obtained from pressure taps and sensors measurements, as well as Schlieren visualizations of the flow reveal the presence of a laminar buffet phenomenon in sharp contrast with the turbulent phenomenon, as it features a freestream- and chord-based normalized frequency of about unity while turbulent buffet occurs for a frequency close to 0.07 (Jacquin et al., AIAA J 2009; 47). A low-frequency mode, at a frequency of about 0.05 is also present in the laminar situation, notably lower than the high-frequency component. The latter exhibits strong oscillations of the shock foot and vertical wavelike deformations of the shock wave and the former moves the shock back and forth over a small portion of chord, quite similar to the turbulent phenomenon. The mean flow past the laminar wing is characterized by a laminar separation bubble under the shock foot, which likely contributes much to the novel dynamics revealed by the present experiments. Two control strategies of the unsteady shock wave are implemented, one consisting of three-dimensional bumps and one consisting of steady jets blowing transversely to the freestream. It is found that bumps provide a significant reduction of the buffet intensity in the laminar situation. The jets are able to completely remove the flow unsteadiness in both laminar and turbulent conditions.

The Impact

Objective. As few, small studies have examined the impact of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) upon the heart rate variability of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), we sought to confirm whether ECT-associated improvement in depressive symptoms would be associated with increases in HRV linear and nonlinear parameters. Methods. After providing consent, depressed study participants (n=21) completed the Beck Depression Index (BDI), and 15-minute Holter monitor recordings, prior to their 1st and 6th ECT treatments. Holter recordings were analyzed for certain HRV indices: root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), low-frequency component (LF)/high-frequency component (HF) and short-(SD1) versus long-term (SD2) HRV ratios. Results. There were no significant differences in the HRV indices of RMSDD, LF/HF, and SD1/SD2 between the patients who responded, and those who did not, to ECT. Conclusion. In the short term, there appear to be no significant improvement in HRV in ECT-treated patients whose depressive symptoms respond versus those who do not. Future studies will reveal whether diminished depressive symptoms with ECT are reliably associated with improved sympathetic/parasympathetic balance over the long-term, and whether acute changes in sympathetic/parasympathetic balance predict improved mental- and cardiac-related outcomes.

Objective This study was performed to investigate impaired vagal activity to meal in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) with delayed gastric emptying (GE). Methods Eighty-five patients were studied. GE parameters, including those in the overall and proximal stomach, were measured by GE functional tests at the Department of Nuclear Medicine. Autonomic nervous function was tested by spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). The vagal activity and sympathetic activity were analyzed by recording the power in the high-frequency component (HF), low-frequency component (LF), and LF/HF ratio. Results Overall and proximal GE were delayed in 47.2% and 50.9% of the patients, respectively. Spectral analysis of HRV showed that the HF in patients with delayed proximal GE was significantly lower and that the LF/HF ratio was significantly higher than those in patients with normal proximal GE after a meal. Conclusion Delayed proximal GE might be caused by disrupted sympathovagal balance as a result of decreased vagal activity after a meal. Improvement in vagal activity may constitute an effective treatment method for patients with FD.

Sediment Movement

An array of electronic sensors was installed on Nauset Light Beach, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, U.S.A., in order to provide a description of the sediment movement during storm conditions. These sensors included two sediment concentration indicators (almometers) which monitor sediment movement as a function of elevation and time, one bidirectional electromagnetic current meter, and a resistive wave staff. Prior field studies performed during "normal" conditions have indicated that surf-zone suspended sediment movement is a low-frequency phenomenon, with the relatively high-frequency component (normal wave period) contributing little to the amount of total sediment transported. Development of a computational technique based upon discrete Fourier analysis and digital filtering called Spectrally Filtered Integration (SFI) provides the calculation and filtering of true units of sediment change in grams-per-liter. Moreover, the SFI technique eliminates the possibility spurious sediment information created by the presence of air bubbles in the water column. Generally, higher-frequency sediment movement is more common during storm conditions than during normal non-storm conditions. This movement is controlled not by the prevailing wave and swell periods, but by a longer period which may be due to water interactions below the surface.

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.

The absorption curves of methyl orange (MO) and analogous p-aminophenylazobenzenes in organic and aqueous organic solvents are shown to consist of two severely overlapping bands. The curves have been resolved into two skewed component bands using a regression method. The blue shift of the absorption maximum obtained when organic solvents are added to aqueous solutions of MO, or when MO is bound to bovine serum albumin or a surfactant micelle, is the result of a change in relative intensities of the component bands. The low-frequency component is assigned to a π1 → π1* transition of a solvate in which there is specific hydrogen-bonding interaction between solvent and the azo nitrogens, and the high-frequency component to a π1 → π1* transition of a solvate in which the interaction is absent. The low-frequency component is favored by aqueous solvent compositions and by low temperatures. The free energies of interconversion of the species in various hydrogen-bonding solvents are correlated by the solvent surface tension but not by the dielectric constant. The results show that the shift in absorption maximum accompanying binding to a protein or micelle should be interpreted as a shift in an equilibrium rather than as a shift in transition energy.

The OH and OD stretching bands of HDO in aqueous solutions containing the ions ClO4− and BF4− are split into two components. The high-frequency component, A, does not shift with temperature. It is interpreted as due to OH groups involved in weak [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds. This interpretation is in line with the corresponding OH frequencies of other systems containing ClO4− ions, such as methanolic solutions and crystalline hydrates. Solvent-separated ion pairs may account for the observed cation effect on band A. The low-frequency component, B, varies with temperature almost exactly like the corresponding band of pure water. It is interpreted to be due to those OH groups which are not associated with the anion. Components A and B are not resolved in solutions of most electrolytes because the distribution of strengths of interactions of OH groups with most anions overlaps that of [Formula: see text] interactions between water molecules.

Significant Difference

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.
