A Review of Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface Systems by Setare Amiri, Reza Fazel-Rezai, Vahid Asadpour

“…However, conventional BCIs have not become totally applicable, due to the lack of high accuracy, reliability, low information transfer rate, and user acceptability. A new approach to create a more reliable BCI that takes advantage of each system is to combine two or more BCI systems with different brain activity patterns or different input signal sources. …”

Research on the security audit model in intrusion prevention based on write-related support vector data description by LUO Jun, PAN Zhi-song, MIAO Zhi-min, HU Gu-yu

“…The security audit model based on write-related SVDD was designed to resolve the one-class problem.Once the classifier has been trained using the write-related subset,all activities deviated from the normal patterns are classified as potential intrusion.The proposed one-class classification algorithms can be implemented to build up an anomaly detection system by using only normal samples and the algorithms also makes the security audit system detect the new anomaly behaviors.In the experiments,the One-class classifier acquires nearly 100% detection rate and average zero false alarm rate for sequences of system calls based on a small training dataset.…”

Solving the Obstetrical Paradox: The FETAL Technique—A Step toward Noninvasive Evaluation of Fetal pH by Jacques Balayla, Guy Shrem

“…The FETAL technique, currently under investigation, applies the discrete Fourier transformation to EFM tracings to determine the spectral frequency distribution of the fetal heart rate. These specific frequency distributions correlate with specific umbilical pH values and may provide the missing link between fetal heat rate patterns and acid-base status at birth. …”
