TL;DR: The Hermite approach is found to be suitable for classification of spectral shapes and compression of spectral information of either voluntary or evoked signals, and very promising for neuromuscular diagnosis and assessment.
Abstract: Nonstationary signals with finite time support are frequently encountered in electrophysiology and other fields of biomedical research. It is often desirable to have a compact description of their shape and of their time evolution. For this purpose, Fourier analysis is not necessarily the best tool. The Hermite-Rodriguez and Associated Hermite basis functions are applied in this work. Both are based on the product of Hermite polynomials and Gaussian functions. Their general properties relevant to biomedical signal processing are reviewed. Preliminary applications are described concerning the analysis and description of: a) test signals such as a square pulse and a single cycle of a sinewave, b) electrically evoked myoelectric signals, and c) power spectra of either voluntary or evoked signals. It is shown that expansions with only five to ten terms provide an excellent description of the computer simulated and real signals. It is shown that these two families of Hermite functions are well suited for the analysis of nonstationary biological evoked potentials with compact time support. An application to the estimation of scaling factors of electrically evoked myoelectric signals is described. The Hermite functions show advantages with respect to the more traditional spectral analysis, especially in the case of signal truncation due to stimulation with interpulse intervals smaller than the duration of the evoked response. Finally, the Hermite approach is found to be suitable for classification of spectral shapes and compression of spectral information of either voluntary or evoked signals. The approach is very promising for neuromuscular diagnosis and assessment because of its capability for information compression and waveform classification. >

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a probe for skin friction measurements to acquire time histories from the step to downstream the reattachment region, and obtained results, associated with flow visualization in a companion experiment in water, support cyclic motion of growing and successive breakdown of the secondary recirculating bubble.
Abstract: In this paper, a contribution to the study of the unsteady behavior of a back-facing step flow is reported. The main interest is devoted to low-frequency motions. A probe for skin friction measurements is employed to acquire time histories from the step to downstream the reattachment region. Signals are analyzed in the physical space and in the frequency domain. The obtained results, associated with flow visualization in a companion experiment in water, support a model of cyclic motion of growing and successive breakdown of the secondary recirculating bubble. The frequency of this quasi-periodic motion is comparable to the flapping frequency of the whole separated region, reported in the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of Cu-based archaeological artefacts from the Mediterranean basin have been selected for investigation of their chemical composition, metallurgical features and corrosion products (i.e. the patina).
Abstract: A large number of Cu-based archaeological artefacts from the Mediterranean basin have been selected for investigation of their chemical composition, metallurgical features and corrosion products (i.e. the patina). The guidelines for the selection of the Cu-based artefacts have taken into account the representativeness of the Mediterranean archaeological context, the manufacturing technique, the degradation state and the expected chemical composition and structure of the objects. The results show wide variation of the chemical composition of the alloys that include all kinds of ancient Cu-based alloys such as low and high tin, and also leaded bronzes, copper and copper-iron alloys. The examination of the alloy matrix shows largely different metallurgical features thus indicating the use of different manufacturing techniques for producing the artefacts. The results of the micro-chemical investigation of the patina show the structures and the chemical composition of the stratified corrosion layers where copper or tin depletion phenomenon are commonly observed with a remarkably surface enrichment of some soil elements such as P, S, Ca, Si, Fe, Al and Cl. This information indicates the strict interaction between soil components and corrosion reactions and products. In particular, the ubiquitous and near constant presence of chlorine in the corrosion layers is observed in the patina of the archaeological Cu-based artefacts found in different contexts in Italy, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Spain and Tunisia. This latter occurrence is considered dangerous because it could induce a cyclic corrosion reaction of copper that could disfigure the artefact. The micro-chemical and micro-structural results also show that another source of degradation of the bronze archaeological artefacts, are their intrinsic metallurgical features whose formation is induced during the manufacturing of the objects, carried out in ancient times by repeated cycles of cold or hot mechanical work and thermal treatments. These combined treatments induce crystallisation and segregation phenomena of the impurities along the grain boundaries and could cause mechanical weakness and increase the extent of the inter-granular corrosion phenomena.
