Formaldehyde in Human Saliva as an Indication of Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure
PublicationSkład środowiskowego dymu tytoniowego zależy przede wszystkim od stosowanej odmiany tytoniu oraz różnorodnych dodatków wprowadzanych do tytoniu na etapie produkcji papierosów. Podczas palenia tytoniu węglowodany ulegają złożonym przemianom, w wyniku których powstają toksyczne składniki środowiskowego dymu tytoniowego, w szczególności aldehydy (formaldehyd). Celem badań było uzyskanie informacji o poziomie zawartości formaldehydu...

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...
