Classifications of clinical depression detection using acoustic measures in Malay speakers

Objective screening mechanism using paralinguistic cues to enhance current diagnostic on detecting depression is desirable, which resulted in the rise of research on this area. However, to date, there has been no research done using dataset of Malay speakers. This paper presented an acoustic depression detection classification using Linear and Quadratic Discriminant analysis with transition parameters and power spectral density as the acoustic features. Among the two features, power spectral density performed better, especially with the combination of band 1, 2 and 3 for both male and female data. As for the Transition parameters, we found that unvoiced feature performed best overall for both male and female

Detection of back-side cracks in steel structure using a differential Eddy

Eddy current testing (ECT) is a technique that is used to identify deficiencies and faulty in metallic components including aircraft, piping, bridges, and other civil engineering structures. Early detection of cracks is essential for ensuring structural integrity, safety, and reliability before it reaches the point of fracture. ECT method becomes common in NDT because it can detect a defect in conductive materials. Crack can exist in any form of size and shape either on surface or subsurface components where it can contribute to the complete fracture. The development of an ECT probe for the evaluation of backside defects in the galvanized steel plate is discussed in this paper. The ECT probe is developed based on fluxgate sensors for identifications of defects. The ECT probe that was created is assessed by executing a phase-sensitive detection technique at the excitation field of 70 Hz to 310 Hz. The efficiency of the magnetic probe is estimated by identifying the existence of slits based on the changes of the magnetic response where the induced eddy current is caused. Using the developed magnetic probe, the signal intensity is evaluated on the backside of the sample plate. The results show a signal change in the crack area. The integrated ECT probe is expected to be applied for the evaluation of backside inaccuracies

Development of ect probe for back side crack evaluation

Cracks are known as one of the defects that usually happen within a steel structure such as piping, funnel, bridges, buildings and other civil engineering structures, and can occur on the surface or subsurface of the structures. Detection of crack is crucial since cracking can cause dangerous damage to the structure which may lead to structural collapses and unfortunate events. Therefore, cracking needs to be discovered earlier before it reaches the point of fracture. Since NDT is becoming popular and necessary in certain conditions, there are few methods or techniques that have been founded in order to detect cracks based on different physics principles. Among them, electromagnetic method (eddy current testing (ECT)) is one of the favorable methods in NDT especially in metal industries in order to evaluate the crack without causing any damage to the subject.. This research presents the study and detailed analysis of an ECT probe’s development based on AMR sensors for identifications of defects in galvanized steel plates. The probe consists of an excitation coil which is used to induce eddy current in sample plates and two AMR sensors to detect the differential magnetic response induced by eddy currents. In order to analyze the magnetic field distribution, which is detected by the AMR sensors, a phase sensitive detection technique by using a lock-in amplifier is applied. The performance of the ECT probe in the crack detection is evaluated using artificial slits on 2-mm galvanized steel plates. Using the developed ECT probe, the magnetic response is measured on the backside of the 2-mm galvanized steel plates. The output signal is detected and analyzed using imaginary components of the magnetic response vectors. The captured data show a signal change at the crack position. From the results, a correlation between depth and detected signals are clarified with respect to different frequencies

Advanced maternal age and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Muar, Johor, Malaysia

Various factors may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes; either maternal or foetal outcomes. This study aimed was to determine the association between advanced maternal age and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This is a cross sectional study. Data were collected from the birth records from January 1st 2012 until December 31st 2012 in Muar District. Descriptive and multiple logistic regression analyses were done and the results were presented as adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with p-value <0.05. The proportion of birth in Muar district, Johor was 14.8% among mothers aged 35 years and older and 85.2% among mothers aged 20 to 34 years. Advanced maternal age was associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension (aOR: 5.00; 95%CI: 1.95-12.65), gestational diabetes mellitus (aOR: 2.32; 95%CI: 1.35-4.00) and Caesarean section (aOR: 2.21; 95%CI: 1.53-3.19). Anaemia was negatively associated with advanced maternal age (aOR: 0.50; 95%CI: 0.32-0.78). No significant association was found between advanced maternal age and adverse foetal outcomes. In view of the findings, special attention should be paid to the antenatal mothers aged 35 years and older, even to those without any pre-existing medical problems

Effects of selected herbs and vegetables on the nutritional quality of beef burger and rat bioassay

Rat bioassay was used to evaluate the nutritional quality of beef burger as influenced by the addition of selected herbs and vegetables. The selected herbs and vegetables used were pucuk ubi (Mannihot esculenta), pucuk gajus (Anacardium occidentale), pegaga (Centella asiatica) and jantung pisang (Musa paradisiaca) as treatment group with casein and skimmed milk as reference. The rats were fed with herbs and vegetables at the rate of 0.5 (low dose) and 25 (high dose) g/kg body weight. The samples were analyzed for proximate analysis, protein quality and protein digestibility. The rats fed with pucuk ubi (high dose) (364.30 ± 25.34 g) indicated the highest mean of increased body weight (121.05 ± 14.65 g) while rats fed with skimmed milk (310.98 ± 18.92 g) showed the lowest mean increase in body weight (88.33 ± 14.25 g). As for the Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) value, all the rats fed with herbs diet showed PER values that were significantly lower (p<0.05) compared to the casein. As for the in vivo apparent protein digestibility test, casein showed the highest digestibility value (86.33 ± 4.20) while pucuk gajus (high dose) (59.59 ± 5.41) showed the lowest. As for the in vitro digestibility analyses, casein indicated the highest value for in vitro digestibility (93.84 ± 0.33). Administration of herbs and vegetables at low and high doses show significant effects (p<0.05) on nutritional quality of beef burger. In conclusion, it was found that antinutritional factors in selected herbs and vegetables might affect the nutritional quality of beef burger
