Stress Detection of Children With ASD Using Physiological Signals
PublicationThis paper proposes a physiological signal-based stress detection approach for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to be used in social and assistive robot inter- vention. Electrodermal activity (EDA) and blood volume pulse (BVP) signals are collected with an E4 smart wristband from children with ASD in different countries. The peak count and signal amplitude features are derived from EDA signal and used in order to detect...

Stress Detection of Children with Autism using Physiological Signals in Kaspar Robot-Based Intervention Studies
PublicationThis study aims to develop a stress detection system using the blood volume pulse (BVP) signals of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during robot-based interven- tion. This study presents the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis method to detect the stress, where HRV features are extracted from raw BVP signals recorded from an E4 wristband during interaction studies with the social robot Kaspar. Low frequency power...

Detection of stress corrosion cracking dynamics by dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
PublicationKlasyczne badania korozji naprężeniowej nie dają precyzyjnych informacji o dynamice takiego procesu korozyjnego. Nowa technika dynamicznej elektrochemicznej spektroskopii impedanyjnej, która została opracowana w Katedrze Elektrochemii, Korozji i Inżynierii Materiałowej stwarza takie możliwości. Fakt ten związany z zastosowaną metodologią analizy umożliwiającą selektywną analizą czasowo-częstotliwościową danych pomiarowych.Praca...

Detection of Lexical Stress Errors in Non-Native (L2) English with Data Augmentation and Attention
PublicationThis paper describes two novel complementary techniques that improve the detection of lexical stress errors in non-native (L2) English speech: attention-based feature extraction and data augmentation based on Neural Text-To-Speech (TTS). In a classical approach, audio features are usually extracted from fixed regions of speech such as the syllable nucleus. We propose an attention-based deep learning model that automatically de...

Stress Monitoring System for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders
PublicationIn this article, a stress monitoring system tailored for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and developed for the educational institution is presented. People with ASD face problems with effective stress management due to their high self-perceived levels of stress, poor ability to cope with it, and dificulties with the accurate detection of the source of stress. Consistently, being able to measure stress appears to...

Influence of Diosmin Treatment on the Level of Oxidative Stress Markers in Patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency
PublicationOxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many human disorders, while antioxidants prevent the development of various adverse symptoms. Diosmin is a natural flavonoid applied in vascular system disorders, especially in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and it plays a significant part in the alleviation of CVI symptoms. Due to antioxidant activity, it also has the ability to scavenge the oxygen free radicals...

The electrochemical determination of isatin at nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond electrodes: stress monitoring of animals
PublicationUltra-thin nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond electrodes (B:NCD) were used for the electrochemical determination of isatin in dog urine samples using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry in a phosphate buffer saline, pH = 7.2. No additional modification or pretreatment of the electrode surface was required in this approach, being of high importance for the facile detection procedure. The increase of the peak current...

Progress in the post weld residual stress evaluation using Barkhausen effect meter with a novel rotating magnetic field probe
PublicationWe report the progress in post weld residual stress evaluation using Barkhausen effect (BE) meter with rotating magnetic field probe. The novel probe of the BE meter contains two C-core electromagnets and searching coil with ferrite antenna. This meter allows automatic measurements of BE intensity envelopes at different angles of magnetizing field. The full process of measurement at given position of the probe takes about only...

Ellipticity in couple-stress elasticity
PublicationWe discuss ellipticity property within the linear couple-stress elasticity. In this theory, there exists a deformation energy density introduced as a function of strains and gradient of macrorotations, where the latter are expressed through displacements. So the couple-stress theory could be treated as a particular class of strain gradient elasticity. Within the micropolar elasticity, the model is called Cosserat pseudocontinuum...

Biharmonic reduced stress.
PublicationRozpatrywane jest wieloosiowe naprężenie o biharmonicznych składowych. Aproksymuje ono m.in. naprężenie w rufowej części kadłuba statku przy regularnym falowaniu morskim. Celem pracy jest zamodelowanie tego naprężenia jednoosiowym naprężeniem zredukowanym. Dla uniknięcia zniekształcenia widma naprężenia wyznaczono biharmoniczne naprężenie zredukowane. W tym celu wykorzystano hipotezę uśrednionej energii odkształcenia postaciowego.

Calculations of notch stress factor of a thin-walled spreader bracket fillet weld with the use of a local stress approach
PublicationPresence of geometric notches in welded joints causes concentration of strains and stresses, therefore reducing fatigue strength of such joints. This article presents an analysis of stress concentrations in a fillet weld of a spreader mounting bracket on a small sailing yacht. The aim of this article is to direct the attention of designers, manufacturers and regulatory bodies to issues of fatigue cracks that form in brackets fastening...

On the effective properties of foams in the framework of the couple stress theory
PublicationIn the framework of the couple stress theory, we discuss the effective elastic properties of a metal open-cell foam. In this theory, we have the couple stress tensor, but the microrotations are fully described by displacements. To this end, we performed calculations for a representative volume element which give the matrices of elastic moduli relating stress and stress tensors with strain and microcurvature tensors.

An experimental study of self-sensing concrete enhanced with multi-wall carbon nanotubes in wedge splitting test and DIC
PublicationConcrete is the worldwide most utilized construction material because of its very good performance, forming ability, long-term durability, and low costs. Concrete is a brittle material prone to cracking. Extensive cracking may impact durability and performance over time considerably. The addition of a small amount of carbon nanotubes (CNT) increases the concrete’s overall electrical conductivity, enabling internal structure...
