<p class="Abstract">An android-based fetal heart rate measurement is presented in this article. The fetal heart rate was obtained from the mother's abdominal electrocardiogram which was then measured and processed by Raspberry pi using k-means. Raspberry pi processed results produce ECG signals and fetal heart rate which was displayed on Android devices in real-time. The android application can also save heart rate and ECG data or retrieve previously taken heart rate recordings. The system obtained that the average value of accuracy, sensitivity and predictive positive were 90.49%, 97.10% and 93.03%, respectively. The variation of the training time of the algorithm showed that the training time of 10 and 15 seconds mostly has better performance than the training time of 5 seconds.</p>
In this study, silver-substituted cobalt ferrite (Ag0.02Co0.98Fe2O4) nanoparticles were successfully sensitized by the coprecipitation method. Annealing temperature treatment was used to modify the physical properties, i.e., 200, 300, 400, and 500°C. XRD analysis showed an increase in the annealing temperature, the crystallite size increased from 19.78 to 24.11 nm, and the grain size increased from 54.75 to 61.39 nm. The FTIR spectrum showed two prominent absorption bands around k ~ 577 and k ~ 381 cm−1, allowing metal oxide absorption in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites. There is a redistribution of cations which is more significant at the tetrahedral sites than at octahedral sites, toward a perfect spinel structure. An increased annealing temperature increased the saturation magnetization and coercive field from 31.80 to 50.60 emu/g and 651 to 1,077 Oe, respectively, attributable to an increase in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant. The evaluation of S. aureus and E. coli showed that Ag0.02Co0.98Fe2O4 indicated the zone of inhibition (ZOI) around the disks due to its antibacterial properties. The most significant on S. aureus and E. coli were 12.73 mm (mortality of 88%) and 12.43 mm (mortality of 80%), respectively, for Ag0.02Co0.98Fe2O4 annealed at 200°C that have the minor grain size materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
