People with hearing impairments often face increased risks related to traffic accidents due to their reduced ability to perceive surrounding sounds. Given the cost and usage limitations of traditional hearing aids and cochlear implants, this study ai...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal motility disorders are mainly evaluated with high-resolution manometry (HRM) which is a time-consuming and uncomfortable procedure with potential adverse events. Acoustic characterization of the swallowing has the potential to ...
Artificial ears with intelligence, which can sensitively detect sound-a variant of pressure-and generate consciousness and logical decision-making abilities, hold great promise to transform life. However, despite the emerging flexible sensors for sou...
This research examines the application of non-invasive acoustic analysis for detecting obstructions in vascular access (fistulas) used by kidney dialysis patients. Obstructions in these fistulas can interrupt essential dialysis treatment. In this stu...
Sound recognition is effortless for humans but poses a significant challenge for artificial hearing systems. Deep neural networks (DNNs), especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have recently surpassed traditional machine learning in sound c...
End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) presents a significant public health challenge, with hemodialysis (HD) remaining one of the most prevalent kidney replacement therapies. Ensuring the longevity and functionality of arteriovenous accesses is challenging...
Sound is a rich information medium that transmits through air; people communicate through speech and can even discern material through tapping and listening. To capture frequencies in the human hearing range, commercial microphones typically have a s...
This paper presents a deep-learning-based method to detect recreational vessels. The method takes advantage of existing underwater acoustic measurements from an Estuarine Soundscape Observatory Network based in the estuaries of South Carolina (SC), U...
Jump height tests are employed to measure lower-limb muscle power of athletic and non-athletic populations. The most popular instruments for this purpose are jump mats and, in recent years, smartphone apps, which compute jump height through the manua...
InsectSound1000 is a dataset comprising more than 169000 labelled sound samples of 12 insects. The insect sound level spans from very loud (Bombus terrestris) to inaudible to human ears (Aphidoletes aphidimyza). The samples were extracted from more t...
